In the imperial study, the emperor looked at Yun Qingyu deeply, with a probing look in his eyes: "Did Northern Protectorate Prince do something he shouldn't have done? Otherwise, with your temper, if Qi Yun offended you, you shouldn't have embarrassed them on the spot." Yun Qingyu nodded slightly, his expression calm, and said unhurriedly: "Northern Protectorate Prince is a vassal prince who guards a region. It is a bit dangerous to easily lose his face and become alienated from the vassal prince." "But what if Northern Protectorate Prince has already developed a different mind?" The emperor's heart trembled when he heard this, his body shook slightly, and his voice unconsciously raised: "What did you say?" This is also the reason why, as an emperor, he is polite to these vassal princes without making any principled mistakes. Yun Qingyu spoke slowly, his voice steady and clear: "Some time ago, Son was poisoned in duke Xuan's Mansion. The murderer was Daughter of the Lu Family Lu Wanyue, and the person who poisoned him was duke Xuan's Mansion's maid Xiang. But there is a key figure in this matter who has not surfaced. Lu Wanyue had a maid named A'dai by his side, who was proficient in pharmacology and martial arts. She came up with the idea, and she was the one who gave the Heartbreak Grass poison. In the end, it was she who arranged for her confidant to betray Lu Wanyue." The emperor remembered that the empress dowager had a maid named A'dai by her side, who was also a confidant arranged by the empress dowager to Yun Tianyin. Could it be that all this was Tianyin's work? He was silent for a moment and asked in confusion, frowning slightly, his eyes full of doubts: "But why did he betray Lu Wanyue?" Yun Qingyu then explained to him in a firm tone: "Lu Prime Minister is Third Prince's uncle, but this time when the Lu Family got into trouble, Third Prince did not come to plead for mercy. And I guess that Third Prince must have won over Northern Protectorate Prince and reached some agreement, so he decided to abandon the Lu Family." The emperor still couldn't understand why his winning over Northern Protectorate Prince and betraying the Lu Family were inevitably related. Even if Northern Protectorate Prince became his backer, he didn't need to abandon the Lu Family. After all, the Lu Family was closely connected to him. "If it was a forced abandonment, it would be understandable. But Adai instigated Lu Wanyue to poison, and then betrayed Lu Wanyue. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to kill the Lu Family!" Of course Yun Qingyu knew the reason, but the secret of the emperor's life experience could not come from his mouth, so he pretended not to know.
"Son has been recuperating in the mansion these two days. He didn't go to investigate why Third Prince had to abandon his mother's family to cooperate with Northern Protectorate Prince? If father wants to know, it would be better to let the shadow guards of hidden Pavilion investigate, or Son is responsible for finding out the truth and then reporting to father." The emperor waved his hand, his movements tired: "Forget it, in order to avoid suspicion, you don't need to care about Tianyin's affairs, so as not to displease the empress dowager again and accuse you of deliberately suppressing your brother. I will arrange for someone else to investigate. You have offended too many people recently. Your Attendant just rejected Northern Protectorate Prince's face today. It is not advisable to make more enemies." Yun Qingyu raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were firm, and he looked directly at the emperor: "Speaking of Qilin, Son has a request. Qiling is quite proficient in martial arts, horse riding and archery, and his skills are wasted. Son wants Qiling to temporarily serve as Silver Armored Army Left General, I hope your Majesty will grant your permission." The emperor was silent, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought. "Qingyu's backyard Wen Family Bastard wants to take the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, and now she has arranged Qiling to be in the military camp to take charge of the Silver Armored Army. What does she want to do with this arrangement?" After a moment, the emperor spoke in a low voice: "Silver Armored Army is now in charge of you, you have the final say. It was during this period that many ministers began to submit memorials asking me to establish a crown prince, and I want to hear your opinion." The emperor felt that Yun Qingyu's arrangement seemed like she wanted to support someone to the throne, and he just wanted to test who she wanted to support. Yun Qingyu said it directly without any reservation, his expression was calm and his tone was firm: "Third Prince and the fifth brother are impetuous and have no morals. The eldest brother is said to be keeping a low profile, but in fact he is weak. If he becomes Yun Jun or even the emperor in the future, the power of the monarch will be gradually hollowed out and become a puppet, and the court will be the world of the powerful ministers of the aristocratic families. Second Prince has the Queen and the Qin Family as his backing, but his ability is mediocre. He can be a king who defends the city, but he is not able to deal with the internal and external troubles of Western Qi." The emperor did not speak, and looked at Yun Qingyu in silence. At this time, he was fighting a battle between heaven and man in his heart. Western Chu has never had an empress since ancient times. After a long time, the emperor spoke: "So, Western Chu is destined to have no successor." Yun Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of unruly in his eyes: "Father, do you mean that I am not a human being?"
The emperor was surprised that Yun Qingyu so calmly exposed his ambition, and pretended not to understand and said: "QingyuIf you are willing to assist your brother, I believe that both Tianling and Tiankuo should be able to be good emperors." Yun Qingyu sneered and said bluntly, with a mocking smile on his lips: "SonI am not interested in assisting a fool to be emperor, and I have to obey their orders all the time. What if those two fools are afraid of Son, and they may accuse him of being too powerful to be the emperor. Except Son. It is better for Son to do it himself than to assist them to rule the country." Nine Provinces ContinentThe strongest Dongling country reached an unprecedented and prosperous era. It was during the reign of the empress, which seemed to give the emperor an excellent reason to follow suit, and the princess's enthronement became something that could be considered. The emperor looked at his daughter in front of him in silence, then said, "For hundreds of years, there has never been a female emperor in power, and there has never been any princess or even prince who would be so open about his ambitions in front of the emperor. Qingyu, you really make me look at you in a new light time and time again." Yun Qingyu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I don't think this is ambition. I just want to have a legitimate identity and position to do what I want to do. If the emperor brothers really have the talent to govern the country and maintain peace, Son would not risk the world's disapproval to compete for this position. Being a princess who does her own thing, raising a few handsome men, staying in the mansion every day to appreciate flowers, drink tea, play the piano and listen to music, wouldn't it be more free and easy. However, if I don't do some things, I'm afraid that before my father abdicates, I will have to let those idiots toss about the country and the family, and the territory will be destroyed."
