Chapter 519: Chapter 520

This time has been almost noon, however, the deep bedchamber, heavy tent low hanging.

Behind the dark brocade curtain, the emperor’s face was obscure but Empress Wei knew that he was looking at herself, so she waited and waited, not seeing the emperor answer, the empress once again opened her mouth, “Last night at the palace banquet, concubine’s father and He Shangshu, have repeatedly prevented His Majesty and King Qing from recognizing each other’s blood! Before that, there is also Zhu Qin sacrificed his life for you to make amends, but, you have ignored!”

“Are you saying that I am to blame for my fall to this point?” When the Empress spoke to this point, the Duanhua Emperor behind the curtain finally spoke out, his voice hoarse, his tone cold, “So what do you want me to do now?”

Empress Wei coldly swept her left and right, “All get out!”

These palace people are the Emperor Xianjia’s life for the Duanhua Emperor’s selection of close servants, although now everyone knows that the Duanhua Emperor will not have a good end, but they do not dare to leave because of the Empress a reprimand, sniffing are deeply bowed head, hesitant not to go.

“Stand down!” Only after Emperor Duanhua faintly commanded, did the crowd salute and walk out in a line.

“The situation is now like this.” Empress Wei watched the door of the hall close behind herself before settling her nerves and opening her mouth to narrate, “Although the people sent by Zhu Qin failed to succeed in killing and exterminating you, not to mention destroying the corpse, because Zhu Qin is also dead, the people who impeached you for intending to murder your imperial grandmother are also dead at the moment The biggest trouble is King Qing!”

Speaking here, the Empress straightened up and looked at Emperor Duanhua through the brocade curtain, her gaze full of determination, “Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict of guilt!”

This is as it should be in fact, the sinful imperial edict is hardly going to save Emperor Duanhua’s path to empire.

So Empress Wei’s demand is not yet over, “And pass on the throne to the Crown Prince, and henceforth retire to the deep palace, not to ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty!”

“… “Behind the brocade curtain, Emperor Duanhua was silent.

“Your Majesty, this is currently the best option for our family of three!” Noticing the emperor’s hesitation, Empress Wei raised both eyebrows and pointedly said, “The late emperor was renowned for his prowess in the sea during his lifetime, and as Mother said, everyone knows that the late emperor favored you the most during his lifetime! In order to let you succeed the throne, not hesitate to pass on his only son to Prince Su Hui! And now you have given birth to King Qing with Consort Nuan, who accompanied the late emperor the most before his deathregardless of how this happened, the entire court has already seen the result, even if they temporarily spared you last night under the secondment of Imperial Grandmother and Minister Gu!”

“But now the night has passed and the hour is near noon!”

“Outside the palace gates, a number of people have clustered for to wait for news!”

“After a while, if you don’t have a statement to give them, they’re bound to flock to the palace to demand an explanation!”

“My concubine is here to make a treacherous remark: with the prestige that His Majesty has built up in the country over the past two years since he ascended the throne, it is no longer enough to suppress this matter!”

“Now there’s even the Su family falling down the well, and that commoner Lu Hehao is also stupid!”

“There’s also Imperial Grandmother pushing from this Your Majesty, it’s hard, hard, hard for you to be an emperor any longer!”

“And if you don’t snatch the throne and pass it on to the Crown Prince before the courtiers force you to do so, then the Crown Prince will surely be implicated by you, and his ascension to the throne will be nearly hopeless!”

“If the new ruler is not the Crown Prince, but a commoner, Lu Hehao, or King Su, what will happen to you, the concubine, or the Crown Prince, please think about it, Your Majesty!”

“But if you now offer your willingness to do penance by abdicating, you can at least gain the sympathy of some of your subjects and preserve the last vestige of decency!”

“When the time comes for the Crown Prince to assume the throne, you are the Crown Prince’s biological father and rightfully the Supreme Emperor, could the Crown Prince still not honor you?!”

This is a critical situation, Empress Wei also spoke frankly, “You don’t have to worry about what my concubine or the Wei family will do to you after the Crown Prince ascends to the throne because of last night’s incident, you have already had your reputation ruined! Even if you become the Supreme Emperor, you will not be able to compete with the Crown Prince for power, so why should my concubine and the Wei family not be able to tolerate you? Concubine has never been a narrowminded jealous woman, Your Majesty and Concubine are husband and wife, do you not have this trust?!”

“Even if Your Majesty doesn’t trust my concubine, please think about this: you now have only one male heir, the Crown Prince!”

“What will happen to him if he cannot ascend the throne?!”

“Do you want to see your bloodline cut off from here on out?!”

The Empress took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Time is of the essence, I hope Your Majesty will make a quick decision!”

At about the same time, concubine Lu Hehao is also kneeling in the Qingxi Hall, calmly elaborated, “… Prince has Wei family, Su Wang has Su family, these two families are after the six valves in the sea, and now certainly not as powerful as before, but is also the bottom of the unfathomable prestige family! Compared to them, grandchildren certainly nothing, but please grandmother think: if the crown prince or Su Wang ascended to the throne, this world, will still be Lu’s world?!”

Lu Hehao slightly sneered, “The crown prince has not yet tied his hair, King Su is nominally the crown prince’s uncle, but in fact, in terms of age than the crown prince is only a few years older? These two no matter how talented, age is their biggest problem especially Su Wang is basically Su Zhi Rong hand taught out of the Su family’s feelings can be imagined!”

“Princess Su, topping her status as the righteous daughter of the Imperial Aunt of the Kingdom of Jin, used to be in a very awkward position when she was in the boudoir of the Grand Princess of Jin’s residence!”

“Even if A Xu and the others were to give her some support in consideration of the imperial aunt of Jin, how would they compare to the Su family?”

“In fairness, once King Su ascends to the throne, the Su family will surely be dominant, and by then King Su will either become their puppet, or he will have done battle with them!”

“Even if King Su can win in the end but Imperial Grandmother, please do the math, since the Hianjia Dynasty’s struggle for the crown, there have been constant undercurrents in the royal family and the imperial court, and although supported by all the princes, they have not plagued the people. However, it is not a longterm solution! His Majesty, the Emperor Taizu, had a difficult time starting his business, and the sacrifices of the two uncles, Uncle Su Hui Wang and Uncle Xiang Jing Wang, how can they be ignored?”

“At that time, I’m afraid that even if King Su can monopolize the power, the world can’t help but be full of holes and sores, making the late emperor’s twenty years of hard work into nothing!”

“From a private point of view, Princess Su is the pearl in the palm of the Imperial Aunt of the Kingdom of Jin, however, with her naive and innocent nature, she is actually not suitable for mothering the world!”

“Even if her matrimony with King Su was a match between two lovers, for one thing, they are still young now, and for another, King Su has not ascended to the throne so far!”

“The Su family still has a Miss Su Sixth who has not yet left the court, that is the full niece of the Queen Mother ask the Queen Mother if she will not want the Su family to produce another highranking consort in the future, or even, a successor?!”

“Even if Mother doesn’t think so, what about the Su family?”

“Years ago they tried to flirt with Mother and King Su to seize the crown, is it just for the good of Mother and King Su? Could it be that the Su family doesn’t want any reward at all?!”

Lu Hehao said heatedly, “At that time, you can imagine what will happen to Princess Su! And the Imperial Aunt of Jin, how should she conduct herself?!”

He was satisfied to see the Dowager Empress’s face grow more and more somber the Dowager Empress actually didn’t care very much about Princess Su’s death, after all, she had a few granddaughters and grandchildren as well.

Due to the awkwardness of the Su Wangfei’s life, it was only a few years before she left the court that she began to participate in the palace banquets under the coaxing of the Grand Princess of Jin, and in the middle of this time, in addition to the exchanges on the surface, the Empress Dowager never even privately summoned her to console this granddaughter of the bloodline.

It is evident that the Princess of Sukhumvit was alienated.

But the Dowager Empress could not disregard the feelings of the Grand Princess of Jin of her own children, this was the only one still alive!

You can’t realize how life is worse than death without experiencing it yourself.

Especially since the Dowager Empress had already sent off ten blackhaired people so far if the Grand Princess of Jin also went ahead of her, the Dowager Empress felt that she might as well go ahead and meet her ancestors in Da Rui!

So to everyone else, it seemed that Princess Su was nothing in the grand scheme of things these days.

But among the Dowager Empress’ considerations, this granddaughter was a priority that could not be ignored!

“Besides, the crown prince.” Lu Hehao ruthlessly shook the Empress Dowager’s intention to support Su Wang’s ascension to the throne, and then continued, “If the Crown Prince takes the throne, with the Empress’s character, she will certainly try to retain Gu Shao, so as to borrow his prestige, check and balance the remaining people, in order to ensure that the Crown Prince can smoothly proregime in the future!”

“So the Empress’s mother’s family, with Gu Shao originating from Hongzhou Gu, is not worried about the future, but for the late generation that you care about, Imperial Grandmother, what good is it?”

Not only is there no benefit, Lu Hehao slightly sneered and reminded the Empress Dowager of one thing, “Before because Song Lu’s participation in the murder of the imperial aunt of the country, his children were also implicated in the sale of the government as slaves Jiangnan Hall is now out of the family! And everyone knows that Gu Shao and Jiangnan Hall’s last generation of family head Song Ying Song Jinan, a close friend! The previous head of Jiangnan Hall, Song Yuan, was once regarded by Gu Shao as his own son! After the death of Song Yuan, after Song Lu’s assassination of Princess Wei under the name of her motherinlaw Pang, Gu Shao immediately went to the palace to plead for her, that’s an example!”

“Of course Gu Shao, even if he laments his old friend’s descendant, certainly doesn’t have the guts to retaliate against you!”

“But Mr. and Mrs. AHu, it’s hard to say whether they’ll be subject to relenting!”

“After all, Song younger sister is the first daughter of Jiangnan Hall, but in this matter, but has been on the Jiangnan Hall stood idly by, but only but the scene to go back to the Song House, and even once did not come over to plead with you not to mention that, even the Tuo A virtual please be merciful words have not spoken!”

“My younger sibling is doing this, of course, out of sympathy for you, but also because she was not treated kindly in the Song family, and is not willing to call you sad for this mother’s family’s culpability. But”

“Gu Shao’s family is from a family that is most concerned about being in the same breath, and after this incident, one can only imagine the impression that he has on younger sibling Song!”

“The world knows that A Xu favors his wife and daughter, and that he once disobeyed His Majesty by trying to kill Sister Song for His Majesty, so how do we know that he won’t be harmed by Gu Shao because of Sister Song in the future?”

Although it was unlikely because Gu Shao wasn’t crazy he was no longer on good terms with Song Ying, the tragedy of the Song family wasn’t caused by Song Yixiao in the end, and the Song family wasn’t good to Song Yixiao, so wouldn’t it be natural for Song Yixiao to refuse to risk offending her husband and the Empress Dowager to speak up on behalf of the Song family?

How could Gu Shao be so irrational as to take on a Marquis for this?

But the Empress Dowager must also consider, if there is a day, Gu Shao power over the dynasty, and Marquis Yan because of the loss of their own and the Grand Princess of Jin’s shelter, reduced to ordinary nobles, Gu Shao to deal with it is not at all troublesome, a show of hands can make the heart a little bit of pain, may not be the day of the heart of the old friend of the discipline of the unfilial The granddaughter of it?

Moreover, the Empress Dowager’s concern for her juniors was not limited to Jian Xu Bai, Lu He Hao added, “There’s also Cousin Qiu!”

“Cousin Uncle is straightforward in nature, and during the previous dynasty’s fight for the crown, he didn’t miss offending His Majesty’s first family members!”

“The Crown Prince is now of an age to remember, and has been learning by ear since he was a child, so how does he know what he thinks of Cousin Qiu?”

“After all, the royal grandmother you although the crown prince this great long grandson has been very favored, but the crown prince and your contact in the end is not particularly much, and there is Queen Wei this biological mother on the side of the pointing, plus the Wei family’s flinging, do you think that the crown prince will read in the flesh and blood on the part of the family to give Qiu a way out of life?!”

The Empress Dowager’s face was blue when she heard this, and suddenly opened her mouth, “You keep saying that it’s not good for the Crown Prince and King Su to ascend to the throne, but it’s just for the sake of recommending yourself! But I don’t know if I support you to ascend the throne, in the country and private, what are the benefits?”

Lu Hehao’s face showed a slight smile, but his gaze was grave: he knew that his next answer would directly determine whether he was qualified to ask for the unique emperor’s throne!
