My old husband who can read minds

When King Shen heard that the emperor was indeed ill, and that he did not have long to live, the first thing that filled his heart was secret joy and a sense of relief that had been suppressed for a long time.

He knew that it was unfilial and disloyal, even treasonous, and he shouldn't think so, but he really couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart that his long-cherished wish was about to come true.

If the father does not abdicate for a long time, then he, the legitimate son of the middle palace, will never be able to succeed. Now he does not even have the title of prince. He has really waited too long.

He believed that not only himself, but also King Qi and others should do the same.

"Mother, even if you say this, what should I do if my father makes a will before his death and still insists on choosing the third child as the heir apparent?"

King Shen was still worried. Children who were not favored were always worried about gains and losses.

Until something is truly in your hands, everything you see is illusory.

Moreover, Emperor Qianyuan was not an indecisive person, but a wise and decisive emperor. No matter how powerful the courtiers were and no matter how many objections they raised, their influence on the emperor would ultimately be limited. If he really wanted to make a decision, no one in the world would be able to make a decision. People can stop it.

"My mother has her own plans for this matter. You don't have to ask anything, and you don't have to do anything. In the following time, you just need to continue to be your filial son as usual, no matter what happens in the palace or in the court No matter what happens, you just obey the mother’s orders and keep silent at other times.”

Empress Song spoke earnestly, her expression cold and sharp, without a trace of emotion.

"The position of crown prince belongs to none other than my son. Anyone who stands in the way of this palace must die!"

At this moment, Empress Song was filled with hatred. The decades-old relationship between her and Emperor Qianyuan had turned into endless resentment and unwillingness after she heard that the other party wanted to make the concubine Prince Wei the crown prince.

Emperor Qianyuan's move will undoubtedly throw her, the royal wife and the legitimate prince's face, to the ground and humiliate her. How will the world view her, the queen, and Prince Shen?
  No amount of sympathy can change the fact that their mother and son have become abandoned sons and the laughing stock of the world.

Since the emperor was unkind before him, don't blame her for being unjust behind him.

When King Shen saw his biological mother's stern, wolf-like eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented panic.

"Mother, what are you and my grandfather planning to do? You must not do anything stupid..."

King Shen stammered, and after thinking of a possibility, a cold air rushed up his spine and went straight to the Tianling Cap, forcing him to break out in cold sweat.

Empress Song reached out and patted the back of her son's slightly trembling hand, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, my son, my mother will make your position as crown prince upright and impeccable. You only need to remember what the mother just said, no matter what happens in the future It has nothing to do with you, do you understand?"

In the last sentence, she deliberately emphasized her tone and looked at King Shen earnestly.

"My son, I understand. I am willing to abide by the wishes of my mother and queen in everything."

King Shen nodded heavily in agreement, but felt his mouth was dry and his heart was heavy.

He had some guesses about what Queen Song wanted to do, but he didn't dare to think deeply.

Since the Queen Mother and Grandfather have already made their judgments, it is best for us to act according to the plan, so as not to mess up our position. King Shen comforted himself, but he did not dare to face the cowardly self in his heart.

Empress Song smiled a little sadly: "My mother will definitely let you get what you want, and my son deserves all this. It's getting late. You should leave the palace and return home quickly, so as not to miss the key to the palace. hour.”

"My son, please retire. Please take care of your body, Queen Mother."

King Shen responded obediently and left with his heart full of thoughts.

Not long after she left, Queen Song summoned her confidant Aunt Ni.

"Aunt Ni, noble Yan and noble Li can arrange for them to take action."

Aunt Ni's face was solemn, and she couldn't bear to ask: "Empress, are you and Your Majesty really going to that point?"

Empress Song smiled coldly: "Aunt Ni, do you think I have any other choice now? Your Majesty is not even willing to leave a way for us, mother and son, so why should I care about those illusory husband-wife relationships. This time, it is not him. Death means the death of this palace."

Aunt Ni was silent in her heart, feeling deeply sorry for her master.

On the matter of establishing the crown prince, Your Majesty really deceived the empress and Prince Shen too much.

This move is undoubtedly telling the world that the majestic empress and prince of the middle palace can't even compare to the concubine prince born from a concubine. This tramples the faces of the empress and Prince Shen into the mud, not only makes their mother and son Losing all face, even killing them all.

If King Wei successfully ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely not leave behind King Shen, a more legitimate successor than him. The only path left for the empress, King Shen, mother and son will be death.

If not for this, the empress would never have reached this stage.

"The servant understands, let's do it now."

Understanding her master's grievances and determination, Aunt Ni decided not to persuade her.

The arrow has left the string, and there is no turning back.

At worst, in the future, she, an old slave, will accompany the empress on the road to hell, so she won't be lonely.

Aunt Ni took the order and quietly retreated, stuffed a silk handkerchief full of secret words into a wooden box, and asked her confidant eunuch to wait until it was completely dark, and then secretly sent it to a secret cave where the two parties sent messages under the cover of night. , marked it secretly, and someone will pick it up when the time comes.

It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. The rest they can only leave to God's fate.

It depends on whether God is on the side of the emperor or the queen.

Aunt Ni sighed deeply, turned around and disappeared into the night. (End of chapter)
