The concubine of the high gate

Chapter 157

Ye Mingzhu is bored with taking care of her body every day, but she is thinking about who will be in that position.Ye Mingzhu privately hopes that King Duan will ascend the throne.After all, if King Jing took that seat, what would Princess Kangning do?With the body of Princess Kangning, if King Duan can't ascend the throne, I'm afraid there will be no way out.And Ruibo Mansion, which is in the same vein as Duan Wang, will not end well either.Ye Mingzhu didn't want anything to happen to the Zhang sisters.

However, no matter who takes the throne, Ye Mingzhu can't do anything.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that at this time, no matter who ascends the throne, Empress Xia doesn't have to worry about it.No matter who ascends the throne, she has to be honored and humbled by the Queen Mother.This dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety.Moreover, King Duan is not the real flesh and blood of Empress Xia.As far as Ye Mingzhu knew, when Concubine Xia recognized King Duan as her son, King Duan was no longer young, at least he was already married.

However, in just over half a year, many great things happened.First, after the Xia family was sealed, and then King Duan was assassinated, after a while of peace, the emperor passed away again.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that not long after Concubine Xia was conferred, the emperor's body failed?Could it be that the emperor knew that he was not in good health, so he wanted to give Concubine Xia the title of empress, so that the emperor would really be gone, and Concubine Xia would have something to rely on.But, if you really know that you can't do it, why don't you just go straight to Prince Feng?Could it be... Ye Mingzhu was suddenly frightened by her own thoughts.Could it be that Prince Jing is the one the emperor really wants to be the crown prince?
If so, Ye Mingzhu felt that she had figured it out.Prince Duan and Prince Jing are fighting to the death.If Prince Jing succeeds, how can Prince Duan end well?With Huo Xia as the concubine and the adoptive mother of King Duan, I am afraid there will be no good end.However, it would be different if the Xia family was named queen.The Xia family has become the aunt of the princes, and even if Prince Jing succeeds to the throne, he must honor Concubine Xia as the empress.And King Duan is only the adopted son of Empress Xia, and the new emperor will not embarrass Empress Xia.

At that time, after Concubine Xia was conferred, how many people thought that Prince Duan would succeed and Concubine Feng Xia was the queen, but it was just to make the crown prince Duan more legitimate.It's just that, later, King Liduan was not crowned prince.Of course, many people felt that they were afraid that King Duan would be too popular and be plotted against again.At that time, Ye Mingzhu also thought so, but now he hesitates.

King Duan was assassinated, although there is no evidence, but it is not necessary to think that it was King Jing who did it.The Xia family is already the queen, if Prince Jing hadn't done something at that time, Prince Duan might have become the crown prince.However, I am afraid that Prince Jing never imagined that the heir in the emperor's heart is actually Prince Jing.At that time, His Majesty could completely appoint King Duan as the crown prince, after all, King Duan had already stood on the bright side.However, the emperor did not.Thinking about it carefully, the assassination of King Duan at that time was obviously done by King Jing. If the emperor wanted to make King Jing the crown prince, it would be too unreasonable over there, not to mention that there was a favored Empress Xia in the palace.In addition, King Jing assassinated King Duan. Although the emperor had no evidence, he still had doubts. The emperor was always very suspicious, so the matter of establishing the crown prince was delayed.

Later, the emperor's illness became more and more serious, and now, it is estimated that the emperor died before he had time to establish a prince.Now, Prince Duan wants to inherit the throne because of his mother's nobleness, which is justified.

However, these are Ye Mingzhu's guesses, and Ye Mingzhu doesn't know if she is right.

As far as Ye Mingzhu is concerned, the biggest impact on her is that her three maids cannot get married.Ye Mingzhu asked Ye Chenli to choose her husband's family for the three of them.
