Chapter 199 Extremely Tender
After the fifth prince came out of the Emperor’s Yangxin Palace, he did not go back to Chuxiu Palace directly. He felt depressed and took a walk to the fish pond in the back garden.
Not far from the fish pond, the fifth prince saw a familiar figure from behind. He did not continue forward because that figure was Xu Guogong.
In addition to Xu Guogong, there is also Cui Xiu sitting on the chair. Although the fifth prince cannot see the front, he can feel that after all, this one is his mother-in-law and the other is his enlightenment teacher. .
You can still tell it by looking at the back.
The fifth prince frowned. The relationship between his mother, Concubine Jia, and Concubine Yun was now somewhat tense, but Duke Xu was not affected by this incident and was still able to accompany him by the fish pond.
It is a bit strange.
The fifth prince heard from people in the palace that when he was young, his father had doubted his identity, so he was the only prince in the harem who was blood-absorbed by his father.
His father didn't believe in his mother and concubine. He didn't believe it in the past, but it's hard to believe now.
His mother and concubine didn't care, but she didn't think about herself, she had to think about him.
He has been unclear with Xu Guogong all day long, and his reputation will not be good if it is spread. Moreover, his father is not in good health now. If any news reaches his father's ears, they will be the ones hurt in the end.
Just when the fifth prince was about to step forward, he heard Xu Guogong say: "Your Majesty, under the current situation, this opportunity is rare but cannot be sought."
Cui Xiu heard this. As Li Qun spoke, she glanced behind her, and before she could see Li Qun, she saw the fifth prince not far away.
The fifth prince didn't even try to hide. He listened to people talking in the corner without feeling guilty at all.
Cui Xiu thought to herself that she had something to say to the people who should hear it. One, she wanted to make the people in the game confused, and the other, she wanted to stabilize her front and back. character.
Cui Xiu has never supported the fifth prince. Although she has shown some support for the fifth prince now, the fifth prince is not a fool and should still be able to see through it.
Such a grinding process was too slow. Cui Xiu thought to himself that it would be better to let the fifth prince take action earlier. It would be best to ruin the fifth prince's reputation before the dog emperor dies.
Things will be easier later on.
“That’s right.”
“Xu Guogong’s words have penetrated into my heart.”
Cui Xiu knew that Li Qun said this, and he must have sensed the presence of the fifth prince not far away, or that he had arranged everything today.
Concubine Ning stepped down, but the Ning family in Jiangnan did not. The Dog Emperor could not escape her involvement in what happened back then. She wanted the sixth prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and Li Qun didn't hope to confront the Dog Emperor as soon as possible. .
None of them want to waste any more time. After all, some things should come to an end at some point.
Before, Xiaoliu urged her to explain everything about them clearly, but the current situation was not suitable for telling the truth. Li Qun was now waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one move.
If he were told that the Sixth Prince was his son at this moment, would his mentality change? Cui Xiu cannot guarantee this.
Now that it has reached the point where a single move can affect the whole body, the Dog Emperor must have tightened his methods. If there is even a slight mistake, everything they have done before will be in vain.
Only when Li Xiuhuai passed away and the sixth prince ascended the throne, everything was settled.
Cui Xiu wanted to give the good news to Li Qun as a final gift.
Cui Xiu believes that that day will not come very late. As long as they can hold on now, according to the plan, it will be enough to kill Li Xiuhuai in less than half a year.
It’s time to repay the debt he owed.
"Empress, the fifth prince is now very powerful, so we must be careful in everything we do."
"There is no harm in fighting for the fifth prince."
Li Qun said this intentionally. For this reason, he talked to Cui Xiu from the perspective of the fifth prince's enlightenment teacher. In fact, rather than the fifth prince, the person he should support the most was the sixth prince. The fifth prince standing not far away was a little surprised when he heard Li Qun's words. He did not expect that Li Qun would actually speak for him.
Is it because of his talent that the famous Xu Guogong felt that he was a talent that could be made and could become an emperor?
The fifth prince had never felt that he still had such a strong supporter. He originally thought that he had lost a support like Xu Guogong, but now that he heard these words, she had some confidence again.
But this confidence did not last long for the fifth prince, because Cui Xiu’s words below made the fifth prince’s mood plummet.
“Why bother struggling in vain for something you can’t fight for.”
“He has never been this material. No matter how hard he tries, he will never get the result.”
< br>“Everyone is just playing along, I thought you could see through it.”
"I never thought that Mr. Xu Guogong would also be there and forget about it."
There was no emotion in Cui Xiu's words, as if he was talking about something that was a foregone conclusion. He had no sympathy for the fifth prince in the first place. What to expect.
From the beginning to the end, she did not expect the fifth prince to do anything. He was too proud, too arrogant, and did not have much ability, but he wanted to shoulder those burdens.
He will overwhelm himself.
After hearing these words, the fifth prince's face was stunned, and he seemed to be about to break.
He originally thought that he had been recognized by his mother and concubine, as well as the Cui family, but now Cui Xiu personally told him that she had never believed that he could sit in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
She never supported him from the bottom of her heart, she was just acting on occasion.
Playing when the occasion arises.
But why, if it can't come from the sincerity, why should it give him hope and then make her despair.
He cannot live without the support of his mother and concubine, nor can he live without the support of the Cui family.
Even if it was just a show, he would make it real, ask the Cui family to really pay for him, and then sit in that position.
The expression on the fifth prince's face changed again and again. The disappointment on his face was swept away, followed by a face swallowed by desire.
He really wanted to be the emperor.
The fifth prince left without looking back.
He did not hear the next words. If he heard it, his expression would change again.
"How can you know if you don't try?"
"What if, just in case it happens."
Cui Xiu saw the leaving figure of the fifth prince from the corner of her eye. After a moment of silence, she was about to speak when the fifth prince left.
Li Qun spoke one step ahead of her: "With my ministers here, no matter how much I can defeat the empress."
When Cui Xiu heard Li Qun's words, the expression on her face became much more vivid. He showed an unexpected smile and said, "Really? What about you."
"Can you overcome it?"
Or, "Do you want to?" Cui Xiu's words seemed to have a magical power, surrounding Li Qun's ears.
