965 Palace Coup, the Winner is Hard to Determine Until the End
Feng Qingchen knew about the farce at the wedding that night. It was not a secret. There were so many people at the wedding, and the Ninth Prince did not hide it and told it in public. Although ordinary people would not know about it, everyone in the official circle knew about it.
Although Feng Qingchen felt that Yaohua deserved it, she still shed tears of sympathy for her. It was extremely distressing to encounter this on her wedding day. Her misery was second only to her.
Of course, sympathy is sympathy, but Feng Qingchen will never forget to say something sarcastic: "I almost ruined my wedding because of your few words. Princess Yaohua really disappoints me."
The fighting power is so weak!
Crunch... Feng Qingchen picked up the fruit on the table and started to bite it. Only the royal family could eat fresh fruits in this season. The Feng Mansion would never have them. These were all moved from the Ninth Prince's Mansion by the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince did not like to eat these fruits, so they had to be given to Feng Qingchen.
Perhaps she was too happy, or perhaps she was used to being casual in front of the Ninth Prince, juice flowed down the corners of her mouth. The Ninth Prince shook his head and stood up to wipe it for her.
Seeing Feng Qingchen's smug look, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but poke her cheek: "Don't think that Princess Yaohua is too weak. Her mother is dead and the crime is too serious. In this situation, if Princess Yaohua can keep her composure, she would be cold-blooded and too scary."
"Okay, I admit that Princess Yaohua was able to complete the wedding, which is not bad." Feng Qingchen finished the fruit in his hand in a few bites, put the core on the plate, and consciously stretched out his hands in front of the Ninth Uncle.
Please wipe your hands!
"You are getting lazier and lazier." Having said that, the Ninth Prince still took the handkerchief lovingly, wet it, and carefully wiped Feng Qingchen's hands.
Feng Qingchen chuckled, smelling the bamboo fragrance on the Ninth Prince's body, looking at the magnified version of his handsome face and the tenderness and warmth hidden in his eyes, and his heart also warmed up.
This man, for her sake, showed up at the fragrant wedding, ignored everyone's accusations, and openly made things difficult for a woman.
If it was right in front of her, she would never believe that the Ninth Prince would do such a tasteless thing, but now? The facts were in front of her, and she couldn't help but believe it.
"What will happen to Yaohua in the future?" Since it has been done, it must be done thoroughly. Feng Qingchen does not want Yaohua to have the possibility of turning things around. You know, when women become ruthless, they can be more ruthless than men. She is not afraid of Yaohua's revenge, but she is afraid that Yaohua will go crazy.
"The future? She has no future. Concubine Yu died because of the crime of betraying the court. Yaohua's life is also ruined. Xiling has almost given up on her."
"Under normal circumstances, even if there really is a concubine who is abusing the palace, it won't be exposed. The emperor will try his best to cover it up. Even if it's not for the sake of the royal family's reputation, it should be for the sake of the princes and princesses."
"Concubine Yu's son is the crown prince, and her daughter is married far away. If the Xiling Emperor still has some affection for them, he would not do such a thing. This time, the Xiling Emperor made no secret of it and announced the matter of Concubine Yu's aggression against the court. He must hate Xiling Tianlei and Yaohua very much, otherwise he would not destroy their mother like this. You know, destroying Concubine Yu is equivalent to destroying Xiling Tianlei and Yaohua."
"Having such a mother is a stain that Yaohua and Xiling Tianlei will never be able to wash away in their lifetime. Even if Xiling Tianlei has the title of crown prince, it will be difficult for him to ascend the throne. As for Yaohua? If she behaves well, she may be able to serve as Princess Chun for a few more years. If she does not behave well, the emperor should not mind her sudden death."
The Ninth Prince spoke calmly, but Feng Qingchen understood the danger involved. This was the result of Yaohua and Xiling Tianlei's failure in this palace struggle. As long as Emperor Xiling was around, there would be no possibility for the two siblings to turn things around, unless Xiling Tianlei rebelled.
"Poor Concubine Yu, she worked hard to climb up from a beauty to the position of Concubine, and even raised a son who is a Crown Prince. After enduring for so many years, she was about to become the Empress Dowager, but she didn't expect to die so miserably."
If the Emperor of Xiling had not woken up, then everything would be different. Concubine Yu would be the honorable Empress Dowager, and Yaohua would be the Emperor of Xiling's sister, both honorable and unparalleled. But now...
"Concubine Yu does have some skills, but her opponent is too strong. Princess Xiling and the Queen have joined forces, and with the Master of Xuanyi Valley treating the Emperor Xiling, she has no chance of winning. If you want to blame someone, blame her for not being ruthless enough and not killing the Emperor Xiling directly."
The fighting in the harem will never stop. Becoming the Queen and the favorite concubine is not the end; becoming the Empress Dowager is the end. So what if Concubine Yu’s son is the Crown Prince? As long as her son is not the Emperor, she may fall at any time.
"So, the Emperor Xiling's serious illness is related to Concubine Yu?" Feng Qingchen thought of the changes in Xiling in just one month and guessed the key.
For an emperor to ignore his own children and humiliate the concubine who gave birth to his children, there is only one possibility - that woman wants to kill him.
"If it weren't for this, how could Emperor Xiling bring Concubine Yu to the ground without giving her any chance. In the palace, the Emperor has many ways to kill a woman quietly. Emperor Xiling did this to cut off Xiling Tianlei's future." Most people cannot afford the love of an emperor, and they also cannot afford the hatred of an emperor.
Emperor Xiling did not kill Xiling Tianlei not out of consideration for the relationship between father and son, but because he wanted to break Xiling Tianlei bit by bit, making him hopeful and disappointed again and again, and living in fear every day.
“Then Xiling Tianyu got a great bargain.” After many twists and turns and planning for a long time, it turned out that Xiling Tianyu was the one who got the great bargain. Prince Lei was really tragic.
"What a great bargain! Tianyu is in a bad situation now. The Emperor of Xiling doesn't trust anyone except the Princess. Although he dislikes Xiling Tianlei, he has no intention of supporting Tianyu. Judging from the intelligence from Xiling, the Emperor of Xiling should have other plans." The emperor was suspicious. He doubted Tianyu's motive for returning. After all, Xiling Tianyu was far away in Dongling, but he was able to bring the genius doctor back to Xiling at the critical moment. This was enough to show that Xiling Tianyu was not simple.
After the betrayal, Emperor Xiling no longer trusted his son. The Ninth Uncle took this into consideration, but he had no choice. This was the only thing they could do, and they must not let Xiling Tianlei ascend the throne at any cost.
Feng Qingchen looked up at the sky silently: "The emperor is really suspicious, but you probably can't do anything about the rest. If you let the Emperor of Xiling know that you are helping Tianyu behind the scenes, it will be harmful to Tianyu."
“Yes, I can only help him up to this point, the rest he has to rely on himself. Although Emperor Xiling’s health has deteriorated a lot after this incident, it is not difficult for him to have a prince. After all, the imperial physician is not a pushover.” The Ninth Prince thought of Xiling Tianyu’s guess, and a little worry appeared in his heart.
Tianyu said that the baby in the eldest princess' belly was a boy according to the imperial physician, and his father seemed to intend to pass the throne to the baby in the eldest son's belly. I really don't know whose baby the eldest princess's belly is, and how could the Xiling Emperor have such an idea...
A word to readers: Don’t get the wrong idea, the child is really not the Emperor of Xiling’s... (I wrote the prince’s name wrong yesterday. The prince’s name is Zitian. I changed it!)
