Chapter 195: Digging a hole again.
After the Third Prince and Concubine Chun were eliminated, Ning Concubine was also dealt with silently by the Emperor. This matter was inherently disgraceful, and telling others would make others laugh at their Tian family.
The emperor will definitely not let such a thing happen, and this face must be protected.
As for the last words left by the third prince, he talked about the fifth prince and Ning Bin, and the emperor probably knew it well.
He knows, he knows everything.
The things Ning Bin did were actually under his instruction. He placed Ning Bin next to Concubine Jia because he didn't believe that Concubine Jia wanted Ning Bin to look at her.
Later, Ning Bin told him that he would set up a scheme to allow their children to enjoy the help of the Cui family. When the emperor heard Ning Bin's words, he hesitated for a while, but he agreed.
Because the emperor can guarantee that Ning Bin’s child must be his child.
But he couldn't guarantee that Cui Xiu's child would definitely be her child.
He doesn't have the free time to watch the affairs of Cui Xiu and Li Qun all the time, and he can't take care of the daily affairs of the government.
He worked tirelessly for the sake of the Li family. If he were told that all he did was to make wedding dresses for others, he would probably have to crawl out of the coffin tomb even if he died.
He would never do such a stupid thing.
Since he doesn't do it, Cui Xiu can only do such stupid things.
If Cui Xiu has a clear conscience and the child is not someone else's, then it can only be said that she is unlucky and it is not clear to him and Li Qun.
If Cui Xiu has something in his heart and the child belongs to Li Qun, then it can only be said that they deserve it. They were the ones who felt sorry for him in the first place.
The emperor's plan was really ruthless. He wanted to drain them dry and use their power to help the fifth prince ascend the throne.
Now the emperor is so angry that he has been lying in bed for more than half a month, and everyone in the court is talking about the matter of establishing a prince.
Many ministers gave the emperor advice, hoping that the emperor could establish the crown prince as soon as possible and stabilize the Ming Qi country.
The emperor had a headache just looking at those documents. He always had a plan in his mind, but it was just not convenient to talk to these ministers now.
These people just talk in a swarm and are unwilling to take care of other things. In the end, they all hope that the prince they support can become the crown prince.
In this way, they are considered an early group of supporters. When the new emperor comes to the throne, they will also be the biggest beneficiaries. The new emperor will definitely not treat them badly.
But this matter is risky after all. The current structure of the court has formed two factions, one faction is supporting the fifth prince, and the other faction is occupying the sixth prince.
However, the two forces are not evenly matched. On the surface, it seems that the fifth prince has a better chance of winning.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor prefers the fifth prince. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, but he is still there, whichever prince he likes will definitely be biased towards making that prince his prince.
The sixth prince's biological mother is not a noble one, but she is lucky enough to be raised under Concubine Yun Gui's lap, so she has the ability to compete.
Although he has not shown outstanding qualities and is not evenly matched with the fifth prince, there are still many people who secretly support him.
Everyone has their own plans, and many people in the court have a deeper understanding of their emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor hates partisanship, because it symbolizes that his own rule is about to be replaced, and the ministers will focus on their son, not entirely on him.
He has not died yet. He will not let such scenes magnify again and again and threaten his status. As long as he is still there and he is still the emperor, then his sons will be the emperor after all. Prince.
Who wants to be a prince? Everything depends on him. Therefore, those who secretly supported the Sixth Prince took a fancy to this key character trait of the Emperor. They made the Sixth Prince temporarily weak in order to make the Emperor look at the Sixth Emperor differently.
The emperor has never been a fool.
The emperor is waiting to see who is suitable for the position of prince.
Nowadays, the fifth prince and the sixth prince are fighting openly and secretly, and Concubine Jia and Concubine Yun have less contact. It seems that the former sisterhood has begun to be broken because of this fight for the right to inherit the throne.
In the end, it ended up being a plastic sisterhood.
This is a result that most people have long expected. After all, in the face of power, any friendship is child's play and ultimately bullshit.
If their son can become the prince, then they themselves will undoubtedly be the queen mother. Who would let go of a good life? To sacrifice yourself for the so-called friendship.
Now that Cui Xiu, who did not want the fifth prince to participate in the struggle, began to show his support for the fifth prince.
In Chuxiu Palace, Cui Xiu specially called the fifth prince to his side.
After talking to him a lot of thoughtful words, Cui Xiu knew that the fifth prince needed their help now.
Therefore, she specially took this time to find the fifth prince, because the fifth prince particularly needed his help, so he would relax his vigilance, which would make it easy for the fifth prince to reveal his tricks.
“Yan’er, my concubine knows your lofty ambitions.”
“In the past, my concubine was narrow-minded.”
“I have always hoped that you would just be an ordinary person. Prince, just live a good life."
"But now the situation in the harem has become so serious, even if you and I don't fight, we have to fight."
Cui Xiu told the fifth prince straight to the point. Such words made the fifth prince feel particularly excited, because he felt that his mother-in-law had finally enlightened and that his mother-in-law was finally willing to help him fight.
Actually, for him, Cui Xiu's enlightenment was somewhat late, but it didn't matter, it was still too late.
As long as the Cui family is on his side, is he still afraid that he will not be crowned prince?
Nowadays, the most powerful competitors have suffered the consequences, leaving only Xiaoliu, who looks good but has no use.
In the end, he is not much of an opponent.
The fifth prince was still feeling sad over the fact that Ning Bin was dragged into the water by the third prince, but now it seems that there is no way around it.
Originally, he was still a little hesitant and had no one to help him make suggestions. But now he is better and his mother has naturally woken up. This is much better than Ning Bin.
After all, Cui Xiu is his biological mother. This tiger poison can't even eat its children. They are now grasshoppers in the same boat. His mother and concubine have no reason not to help him.
The fifth prince feels that he can be said to be a sure winner. Cui Xiu must have been deceived by Concubine Yun in the past. Now that Concubine Yun controls his father, it must be enough to make his mother and concubine wake up.
Concubine Yun seemed to be indifferent to anything. She didn't expect that everything she did before was just pretending. The vigor she was planning was unexpected.
But it doesn't matter, no matter how powerful Concubine Yun is, this Xiaoliu is useless and poses no threat to him.
Besides, his father would not let Concubine Yun have a chance. After all, there was still a gap between them due to those events back then.
