Chapter 144 Prepare for a Rainy Day
Concubine Yun’s words can be said to have hit the nail on the head. She discovered the key to the problem very cleverly. In the past few years, the number of times the emperor acted like a monster has been reduced a lot.
He just allowed the queen and the pure concubine to compete for favor, but in the court, he also turned a blind eye to the matter between the prince and the third prince. It was obvious that there was something involved. problematic.
Cui Xiu knew that their emperor had never dealt with things in a perfunctory manner. His lack of action showed that he was waiting for the opportunity. When those problems could be completely solved, the emperor would naturally Take action without hesitation.
Cui Xiu remembered that in the last life, the queen was eliminated early, and the person who fought with Chun Fei was not the queen, but Cui Xiu.
She was counting on the fifth prince, while Concubine Chun relied on the third prince. Cui Xiu still remembered that she had worked hard to win favor and win a good future for the fifth prince.
But now she did not choose to fight. Instead, she chose to watch the show and watch from the other side. She thought that this time no one would fight with Concubine Chun, and there would be no good show to watch.
Unexpectedly, the queen directly took over her script and led the prince to fight against the pure concubine.
Actually, Cui Xiu felt that the Queen had too many ideas. She did not need to take the Crown Prince and Concubine Chun to do anything, but she was afraid that if she did nothing, the Crown Prince would be too mediocre in the eyes of the Emperor. .
The emperor will depose the prince.
Therefore, in order to keep her son's position as crown prince, the queen had to personally eliminate those who might threaten her son.
Whether it is the third prince, the fifth prince, or the sixth prince.
In the eyes of the Queen, everything may threaten the position of the prince, but there is one thing that the Queen is not aware of.
That is, if the emperor is really determined to depose the prince, no matter what the queen does, it will not help in the end. After all, the prince is appointed by the emperor, and he will let whomever he likes. Go take that seat.
“Sister Yun, it’s not that the emperor can’t see you.”
"He has seen it all."
"It's just that he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to bring down both the prince and the third prince."
Cui Xiu felt that between the prince and the third prince, , she felt that the probability of the prince ending first was very high, because the prince was indeed too mediocre, but being mediocre was not his fault.
But as a former prince, he was too mediocre and tried to do something that he couldn't get involved in. That was his sin.
The emperor wants to depose the prince and let the prince he likes take the throne. He must be eager for the prince to make mistakes. As long as the mistakes are not small, the emperor will have reason to kick the prince out.
Once the prince is eliminated, a new prince will take his place, and Cui Xiu already knows this.
Who will be the person who will take the crown prince's place and continue fighting with the third prince?
"As expected, the emperor cannot be underestimated, but He'er, who do you think he will kick first?"
"The prince, or the third prince."
Cui Xiu She never forgot to eat the crab meat lion head in front of her. After she was almost done eating, she put down the chopsticks and spoon in her hand and said, "Prince."
"I've seen that kid before. It's understandable that the emperor doesn't like him."
The prince is strong and tall. Although he is only seventeen years old, he gives people a young and mature feeling. But he is too strong, and the emperor always I can't help but like him.
Every time the emperor saw the prince, he would tell him to eat less on weekdays, pay attention to his image, and control his weight well.
As a prince of a country, being too "strong" is really unsightly and will give people an inexplicable sense of distrust.
This is what the emperor said to the prince, and he said it more than once. From these words, it is not difficult to see that the emperor does not like the prince. "The prince is a simple and honest man, and he does not have the cleverness of that old man."
"If you want to say that the one who looks like the emperor, in the final analysis, it has to be the child Xiaowu."
Concubine Yun Guifei continued Cui Xiu's words.
Although the fifth prince is only ten years old, he is already much taller than his peers. His facial features have begun to have some edges and corners, and the emperor's youthful spirit can be seen in his eyebrows.
It’s no wonder that the emperor likes the fifth prince. It’s because the fifth prince looks so much like the emperor when he was young.
The sixth prince didn't have much in common with the emperor. He was not in good health due to illness. He would carry a handkerchief with him and then start coughing.
"Yes."
"If the prince is eliminated, then the next person to fight with the third prince."
"It will be Xiaowu."
The Emperor relies heavily on Xiao Wu and will definitely pave the way for Xiao Wu. Ever since they confessed in blood a few years ago, the Emperor and Xiao Wu have become closer and closer. Sometimes, Xiao Wu sees the Emperor in one day The number of times he met her was more and the time was longer than seeing her as a mother.
Concubine Yun Guifei saw that Cui Xiuxin was like a mirror, and her face showed some worry, and asked: "You have always raised that child freely. Even though he has the intention to seize the direct descendant, he still has no power behind him."
"If he can't compare to the third prince, He'er, will you be implicated?"
Concubine Yun has always been worried about Cui Xiu. In fact, the fights between the princes are their own business. As mothers and concubines, they can't control so much. The children have a sense of security, and naturally they have a character that is not afraid of anything.
“Sister Yun, there will be no one behind Xiao Wu.”
“Even if I don’t take action, Xiao Wu will have someone to help him.”
Although Cui Xiu still doesn't know how many people supported the fifth prince back then, as far as she knows, there is never a shortage of people around Xiao Wu, and many people will come to him.
“By the way, Sister Yun.”
“I have some things I want to discuss with you.”
In fact, the matter between Chun Fei and the Queen is already a done deal. In a short period of time, one of them will definitely be broken, and the other will be used as a whetstone for the fifth prince.
The Emperor will secretly observe the fifth prince to see if he has the potential to become an emperor and sit on the throne.
When Concubine Yun saw Cui Xiu mentioning it specifically, she nodded, listened attentively, and said, "Just tell me."
In fact, there were no other matters, mainly the matters of the sixth prince and the fifth prince. She will control the matter. Now the fifth prince still recognizes her as his mother-in-law. As long as she is his mother-in-law, the fifth prince will still listen to her.
If the fifth prince goes into battle later, the sixth prince can mix in, firstly to learn knowledge, and secondly, to get to know some people by the way.
Cui Xiu has a plan, but this plan cannot be truly implemented until she determines who is behind the scenes. It is only in its infancy at the moment.
She thought that while everyone was quite free now, she had to talk to Sister Yun. If there were more things going on in the future, it would be difficult to find such an opportunity.
In fact, what Cui Xiu was thinking was that since the emperor wanted to act with them, they might as well put on a show for him.
