Chapter 491 Slap Him
Princess Huai didn't expect to hear such a sentence suddenly. She didn't know what to say. The emperor had decided on the matter in the court. What should she say? And considering her relationship with Prince Huai, should she pull him aside and ask him in detail?
After all, it was not the King Huai who was made the Crown Prince, otherwise his attitude would not be like this, so when King Huai said this, she only said: "Your Majesty is wise."
King Huai felt like he was poured cold water for the second time when he heard Princess Huai's words. He looked at Princess Huai, and then finally remembered to let the servants leave.
Princess Huai looked at King Huai like this and had no idea what he was going to do, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
King Huai looked at her and said, "Father has appointed the Sixth Prince as the Crown Prince. He is only a few years old and has not yet entered the court. Father favors him."
Princess Huai really felt bad. She looked at Prince Huai's expression and became scared: "What does your Highness mean by this?"
"What if I want to fight for it? Your Yu family..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud 'slap' sound, and King Huai's face was hit to the side.
Princess Huai didn't know that she had dared to do such a thing. She slapped Prince Huai so hard that her palms were numb, but she soon recovered. Her first reaction when she heard Prince Huai's words was that he actually coveted the position of Crown Prince when the Emperor had already decided on the position. He was going to drag the entire Huai Palace into the water.
In fact, if King Huai had the chance, everyone would be happy. But King Huai had already said that the emperor had appointed a crown prince. If something unexpected happened, what would happen to her child?
Prince Huai was stunned by her slap. He had never thought that Yu would dare to hit him. He was already depressed all the way, and after being hit like this, he was also angry. He was about to get angry when he saw Yu, but Yu gritted her teeth and growled at him: "Do you dare to let the emperor know about this?"
King Huai felt a chill in his heart when he heard what Yu said.
Seeing his expression, Yu sneered. Even though there were tears in her eyes, her attitude was not weak: "If the prince has the intention, how can the emperor not know what is happening in the court?"
The emperor is still here, and he has just appointed a crown prince. Even if the Sixth Prince is still young, does he think the emperor is dead? Isn't this a violation of the emperor's will?
Yu didn't understand the overall situation in the court, but she knew that King Huai could not go against the emperor.
"Your Highness wants to fight, but how can he fight? The Sixth Prince has a favored mother. If Your Highness wants to fight, does he have to attack the Imperial Concubine in the palace? Doesn't Your Highness know how the Qin family ended up in such a miserable state?"
King Huai was frightened by what Yu said.
Yu said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, I don't ask you to be nice to me, but if what I said today gets out, it will implicate the entire Huai Palace. Your Highness, don't think of my Yu family. Your family will be a helper to you when you are doing things in the court, but if you insist on doing things your own way, the Yu family is not your stepping stone." Her family background was much higher than that of Concubine Shun's mother's family. She pulled the corners of her mouth, but her tone was cold, "Don't think that other people are fools. There are so many sharp-eyed and sharp-eared people in the court who are watching."
When King Huai heard that Xiaoliu was named the crown prince, he was distraught. Because of his ambition, he only thought of the Yu family when he saw Yu. His face was burning with anger. He saw Yu just standing there, saying one word after another, and he couldn't even refute it. He looked at Yu. She was still very young and good-looking, but he had never looked at her before because he thought she was boring and usually looked humble and docile. Now she spoke so harshly, it was as if he had never seen her before.
Her last sentence made his heart beat faster. Yes, he was in a daze all the way here. If he was discovered, he might not have done anything and no one would have noticed it. What if his father heard about it?
King Huai was still thinking that Yu no longer wanted to see him, so she left after she finished speaking.
King Huai didn't notice her leaving, and at this moment a sense of fear enveloped his heart.
He had some thoughts. How could a child of the royal family not have such ambitions? And how had Concubine Shun taught him all the way? He was the first prince to enter the court and the first to be crowned a king. How could he not have any thoughts? But until now, Concubine Huai's words and slap in the face made him a little awake.
He never dared to let Xuanyuan Ling know his thoughts. Even though he tried his best to do well in the court, he was still not satisfied. He had ambitions but no ability to match them, so he didn't even dare to show it.
I was so anxious just now, thinking about it for so long that the throne of the crown prince fell to someone else, and the other party was the Sixth Prince. How could I not have any ideas?
He wondered what if his father knew what he was thinking? Would he confront his father?
Just thinking about it made him panic, his mind full of thoughts: No, I can't, I can't let my father know that he had such thoughts, he didn't dare. Only then did he realize that he really didn't dare.
After Xuanyuan Ling's imperial edict came down, the next thing was to confer the title. As Xuanyuan Ling came down from the morning court, the position of the crown prince was established. At this time, the news of Shen Qing being conferred as the Imperial Noble Consort was known to the six palaces.
Then came the incident of Concubine Zhou's assassination. Xuanyuan Ling also ordered people to tell everyone that Concubine Zhou's nine clans would naturally be buried with her. Assassinating the emperor was a heinous crime.
As for Chu Linglong's family, Xuanyuan Ling was not in a position to tell others that Chu Linglong wanted to use Concubine Shun to cause chaos in the court in order to help King Huai ascend to the throne. After all, King Huai didn't know about this and he had been outside the palace. Since the news had not been spread, he naturally didn't know. Since King Huai didn't know, he couldn't be implicated because of Chu Linglong.
But Xuanyuan Ling really hated her behavior, so he accused her of knowing the truth but not reporting it, and demoted the brother of the Chu family. It was also a coincidence that she did know the truth but did not report it, but the crime of knowing the truth but not reporting it was lighter. It was also lucky that the Chu family was lucky that although they were implicated, they were not killed in the end.
These things also shocked the harem. Other people in the harem just found out that Xuanyuan Ling had been ill, because the harem had been under martial law when Xuanyuan Ling was ill. Now the identity of Imperial Noble Consort Shen Qing has been revealed, the Sixth Prince has been named Crown Prince, and Noble Lady Zhou and Noble Lady Chu actually dared to assassinate the Emperor?
These pieces of news one after another are really jaw-dropping, and after being shocked, I feel mixed emotions.
It can be said that they are unlucky. After entering the palace, they meet the emperor's favorite concubine. But in the end, they are lucky because the concubine is not domineering and is really nice to them. They have no worries about food and clothing in the palace.
Although some of them are childless, if you think about it, it is inevitable that the emperor has favoritism. Even if it is not the imperial concubine, there are others. How can everyone in the harem be favored?
It’s just that other emperors would favor one person after another, but our emperor is loyal and only favors this one.
But these things obviously have nothing to do with them. Shen Qing is a noble concubine or an imperial concubine, so they still have to pay their respects. But there is one thing that really concerns them, and it is also scary.
Lin Liangren had an affair with the guard that day, so they had to be investigated. Now, Concubine Qiao has gone crazy, and now Concubine Zhou and Concubine Chu are trying to assassinate them. Doesn't this leave any chance for the rest of them to survive?
If one or two of the concubines in the harem go wrong, will the emperor think that the harem is too dangerous and do something to them? Thinking about it, I really want to cry but I have no tears. Is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?
