Chapter 201 Refusing to Sing Again
Chen Chaolu wanted her son to ascend the throne, but she had to see if they would allow it.
Yueli does not have a deep obsession with the throne, but Xie Lixing is now in a situation where he will die if he does not fight for the throne, and no one wants to die.
Especially Yueli, she hasn't lived enough.
How could I be willing to give up such a carefree life?
Instead of being watched covetously by various forces and facing the risk of being eliminated at any time, it is better to be the master of your own house!
…
Time passed bit by bit, and the marriage of Yun Sheng and Cheng Huan was finally settled. The Fourth Prince's power suddenly expanded from only the Cheng family to a huge power that included the Cheng and Yun families, as well as the family with ties to Xie Lixing.
He suddenly became a popular candidate from an unpopular candidate for the throne.
If the Cheng family alone is not a cause for concern, then the strong participation of the Yun family and Xie Lixing has given rise to signs of loosening among the many officials who are still on the sidelines.
There is no way, the thank you gift is really too tempting!
The Yun family and the Cheng family together are not as attractive as Xie Lixing!
The Fourth Prince is now unmatched in the court. Even if the Crown Prince and Liu Yuanzhou and Zhou Yijiang join forces, they are not taken seriously by the Fourth Prince.
The sparks of the fight for the throne are getting more intense, and everyone is waiting.
Waiting for an opportunity to make it public.
However, the opportunity to make it public did not come, and the prince was instead accused of forming a clique for personal gain.
The emperor did not like anyone coveting his throne, even his son.
Therefore, after the prince was accused of forming a clique for personal gain, he was completely deposed and imprisoned in a villa in the capital, never allowed to go out.
The emperor still couldn't bear to demote him to a commoner.
After he deposed the crown prince, he felt that he had good intentions, wanting the crown prince to understand the dangers of the court and that he should not covet things that did not yet belong to him.
After all, a hundred years after him, the throne will belong to the prince!
Isn't it too early for him to form a clique now?
He hasn't done anything yet!
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he confined the deposed prince to his house, out of sight and out of mind.
The deposed crown prince was placed under house arrest, and the candidates for the throne became the fourth and seventh princes.
The fight between Liu Yuanzhou and the Fourth Prince had become intense. Both of them wanted to obtain the crown prince position as quickly as possible. In the end, it was Yun Lie and General Cheng who suggested, "We should persuade His Highness to restrain himself. His Majesty is furious. If you rush into it, it will only cause trouble."
This is the time to keep a low profile.
Taking his words to heart, General Chengjia sent someone to deliver a message to the Fourth Prince, asking him not to be anxious, as now was not the time to rush.
That night, the Fourth Prince invited a few people to gather at the Cheng family.
Also coming with them was Xie Lixing.
In the eyes of the Cheng family, Xie Lixing was also a member of their ship, so they naturally would not object to him coming to listen to their conspiracy.
"Your Highness, we should keep a low profile at this time. His Majesty still feels a bit distressed about the Crown Prince. If your fight triggers his Majesty's distress, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"Yes, this will easily expose your Highness's ambition."
Facing everyone's advice, the Fourth Prince pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Everyone is right. I was too impatient. I will be more careful in the future, be more measured, and keep a low profile."
Xie Lixing sat among the crowd and had no intention of speaking.
Everyone also understood that it was not easy to let him sit here, and if he were to speak now, it would be like pushing Xie Lixing out.
Therefore, no one dared to ask Xie Lixing to speak, for fear that Xie Lixing would leave in anger.
Cut off ties with the Fourth Prince openly.
The Fourth Prince also felt that it was enough for Xie Lixing to sit here. He was already intimidating people and there was no need for Xie Lixing to do anything else.
Since they didn't ask any further questions, Xie Lixing felt relieved.
After discussing the business, everyone started to ask Yun Lie and General Cheng, "When are you planning to hold your wedding?"
Yun Lie laughed and said nothing.
"We are currently selecting an auspicious day." As the male representative, General Cheng naturally had to speak.
As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Huan who was sitting in the corner.
Sure enough, Cheng Huan's eyes lit up, as if he was looking forward to his marriage with Yun Sheng.
Following the gaze of General Cheng, everyone saw Cheng Huan, and then teasing laughter broke out one after another.
Cheng Huan was not embarrassed at all. He thought it was normal for a gentleman to be attracted to a beautiful lady. Besides, who among the people present didn't have a wife?
What's there to tease her about?
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and then Yun Lie and Xie Lixing stood up tacitly.
"We'll leave first." Yun Lie followed Xie Lixing, said hello and left. Xie Lixing looked back at the Fourth Prince, then turned and left.
After watching the two leave, General Cheng spoke to the Fourth Prince.
"Do you think we should call them next time?"
"certainly."
The Fourth Prince nodded without any hesitation.
Liu Yuanzhou's people are now staring at him every day, just to see if Xie Lixing is really standing behind him. He has to let everyone "know" that Xie Lixing is his man.
Make those people jealous, make those people crazy!
Think about it, Liu Yuanzhou has been trying for so long, but Xie Lixing has ignored him. Wouldn't he be vomiting to death?
The Fourth Prince felt happy when he thought that Liu Yuanzhou was going to be angry to death. He felt that everything he had done was worth it!
Since the Fourth Prince agreed, General Cheng naturally had no objection.
After Xie Lixing and Yun Lie left Cheng's house, they got on a carriage and slowly headed towards the Regent's Palace.
"Do you think the Fourth Prince will obey?"
Yun Lie felt that the Fourth Prince was not a low-key person. He would say good things but his behavior would not change at all.
He is very rampant now.
Xie Lixing turned his head slightly and looked at the scene outside the car window. "You should know a little bit about his character. He now feels that among all the princes combined, his power is the greatest, and he is the prince with the greatest possibility of successfully vying for the throne."
This kind of self-confidence will invisibly increase his sense of inflatedness.
He couldn't find it himself.
Hearing this, Yun Lie also nodded, "You're right, he really doesn't know how to keep a low profile, he's just unconsciously inflated!"
Not only now, I didn’t know what it meant to be low-key in the past.
But compared to the prince, he looks better.
He would not learn from Liu Yuanzhou. Liu Yuanzhou was really low-key at that time. It seemed like he had given up on the fight for the throne.
If everyone didn't know his character, they would really think he was devastated!
"Oh, I kind of regret it..."
"Don't regret it. Just disappoint the Cheng family. If the Cheng family is disappointed, they will naturally not use all their strength to support the Fourth Prince anymore."
Xie Lixing analyzed calmly.
The reason why Chengjia is working so hard to support her now is entirely for the sake of the Fourth Prince's wife.
If the Fourth Prince treats the Fourth Prince's wife badly and is a little disobedient, he will go downhill. Cheng Jia is not a fool and will jump ship as soon as he hears it.
No doubt about it.
With Xie Lixing's analysis, Yun Lie felt a little more at ease.
When they returned home, Yun Sheng was waiting in the front hall for her father and Xie Lixing to come home.
Seeing the two of them coming back, she hurried out to greet them. She frowned at the two people with bad expressions and asked, "What's wrong? Did you fail to reach an understanding about what happened today?"
"No." Yun Lie shook his head. "The reason the prince and I came back is because we felt the Fourth Prince wouldn't listen, so we weren't interested in listening anymore."
They wanted to put on some appearance, but the Fourth Prince didn't even give them the opportunity!
Really, I don’t know what the Fourth Prince is thinking.
Yun Sheng frowned. She didn't expect that the Fourth Prince was so unreliable. You know, she spent a lot of effort to persuade her father to sing opera!
The Fourth Prince is really wasting the feelings of the Yun family and Xie Lixing.
If I had known this earlier, I would have played chess with Yueli at home!
"Let's talk inside." Yun Lie said in a low voice, asking Yun Sheng not to ask any more questions here.
Yun Sheng nodded, did not ask any further questions, but turned and walked into the front hall of the Regent's Palace.
Xie Lixing sat in the first seat, Yun Lie sat below Xie Lixing, and then Yun Sheng.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" How come their attitudes changed so much after just one day?
Xie Lixing snorted and said nothing more.
Yun Lie curled his lips, "What else could it be? The Fourth Prince is just unreliable. I don't even have the heart to pretend with him now!"
