Queen, don't be too arrogant

Chapter 320
From this point of view, Duanmu Yege's goal of ascending the throne should be much easier to achieve.

Duanmu Yege wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and said in a hoarse voice: "But before the father died, he was killed by Xiao Tang's people before he had a chance to name the crown prince! Now Dong Xiangguo said that I will handle everything , it should be unreasonable, so I dare not agree rashly, and I hope Dong Xiangguo doesn't mind!"

What he said was really brilliant, the typical playing hard to get, made people feel that he actually has no ambition for the throne.

A look of reassurance flashed across Dong Xiangguo's eyes, but he was shocked and said: "Before the emperor was killed by Xiao Tang, he didn't name the candidate for the crown prince? This... what should we do..."

He also looked like he was caught in a dilemma, but who knew how much of his dilemma was true.

From my point of view, at this moment, like Xiao Tang, he probably already has some ambitions.

After all, now that Emperor Chu has passed away, the real crown prince has escaped without a trace, and has a great relationship with the rebellious party, and Emperor Chu has not named the candidate to succeed the crown prince. Naturally, he wants to intervene in such a big mess Pick up cheap ones.

Duanmu Yege seemed to know his plan, a cold smile appeared on his lips, but it was fleeting.

He said to Dong Xiangguo: "I don't know what the father's decision is. Alas, it's all because of my incompetence. If I saved my father at that time, even if I sacrificed my life, it would be nothing! At least In that case, our country of Great Chu will not be like this!"

He looked very annoyed, and tears fell again. He looked like a filial son, and his eye sockets gradually turned red when he saw the loyal ministers around him, and he looked at Duanmu Yege with a lot of kindness.

Xie Jingran could only see it secretly amused, and sighed that Duanmu Yege is really a genius in acting, this performance has already captured the hearts of these ministers.

Dong Xiangguo hurriedly said: "Seventh Prince, don't be like this! This kind of thing happened suddenly, and the Seventh Prince was still protecting the Queen of Qin at that time, so it can be said that he was lonely and weak, so this matter, the Seventh Prince should not blame himself so much! The most important thing now , is to find the prince who has gone abroad, only in this way can the state of Chu be restored to peace!"

Duanmu Yege nodded and said: "What Dong Xiangguo said is right! Everything is done according to Mr. Xiangguo's wishes, and I will accept it for free!"

His words really made Dong Xiangguo smile, but Xie Jingran couldn't help sighing when he saw it.

Duanmu Yege is really deep in the city, the reason why he can say such weak words proves that he must have some secret arrangements.

Poor Dong Xiangguo is still so happy. It's because he hasn't seen the essence of Duanmu Yege clearly, so he thinks Duanmu Yege is a bully kid with a yellow mouth.

It is true that only Xie Jingran at the scene knew what kind of sinister intentions Duanmu Yege had hidden under his obedient appearance.

Dong Xiangguo sighed slightly, and said: "Now it seems that this is the only way to go. Alas, what a misfortune for the country!"

When he said this, he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart, stretched out his hand, and couldn't help but slap the dragon chair behind him hard, it seemed that only in this way could he express some of the depression in his heart.

But when he took this shot, he only heard a "click" sound from the dragon chair, which shocked everyone present.

Immediately, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards the dragon chair, wanting to see what happened.

Dong Xiangguo also looked back inexplicably, but only felt that something suddenly fell from somewhere on the dragon chair!
At this time, the officials brought by General Chi also came back at this time, and everyone looked in the direction of the dragon chair, so they also looked there.

Because of this, everyone saw the thing that fell from the dragon chair at the same time!

Xie Jingran and Duanmu Yege also looked over there to see what it was that could attract everyone's attention.

Dong Xiangguo bent down to pick up the thing with a puzzled expression, and they finally saw what it was until they got it in his hands.

I saw a yellow silk book sitting quietly in Dong Xiangguo's hand. Looking at the color and texture, it was easy to understand that this thing was the emperor's exclusive work - the imperial edict.

Could it be that this is the imperial edict secretly prepared by Emperor Chu to establish the crown prince?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get excited. If the candidate for the crown prince is really in this silk book, then all problems will be solved, and everyone doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The only ones here who can keep calm now are Duanmu Yege except Xie Jingran.

He looked at the edict in Dong Xiangguo's hand indifferently, as if that matter had nothing to do with him at all.

But only Xie Jingran knew that it was a lie that he didn't care, but one of the reasons why he was so calm was naturally that he wanted to act for everyone to prove that he had no ambition to be an emperor at all.

But another reason is more and more important!

That is, he is fully aware of what is contained in that imperial edict!
That's why he wasn't nervous or curious at all.

This thought made Xie Jingran feel a little creepy.His city mansion is so deep that it has to be scary.

As if knowing Xie Jingran's guess about him, Duanmu Yege turned to look at her, gave her a faint smile, and then turned his gaze to Dong Xiangguo who was unfolding the edict in the palace.

When Dong Xiangguo saw the content of the edict, his expression changed slightly, and then he glanced at Duanmu Yege, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Then, he said loudly: "The ministers accept the order!"

Hearing his words, everyone hurriedly knelt down. Of course, it was impossible for Xie Jingran to kneel down, so it was a bit weird that she was the only one standing out from the crowd in the entire hall.

Dong Xiangguo began to read the imperial edict: "Following the heavens, the emperor said, I see the ambition of the patriarch Xiaotang, so..."

Xie Jingran listened quietly below. What Dong Xiangguo said before was nothing more than that Emperor Chu had sensed Xiao Guozhang's wolfish ambitions and wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, so he was ready to abolish the crown prince and establish a new crown prince.

But because he was afraid of Guozhang Xiao's attack, and because the prince has always had a good reputation, he never put it into practice.

He said in the imperial edict that if one day he abolishes the crown prince Duanmu Yexian, he will know that it is the time when Xiao Guozhang rebelled. to announce to everyone who the new crown prince is!
