After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 216 The throne belongs to

"Father."

Lu knelt on the ground and crawled over. She hugged the Great Xia Emperor's legs and cried softly, "Father, I am really wronged."

The Great Xia Emperor snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He coldly scolded: "Could it be that you really want to ruin Chong Wen's better future?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

Her son Xia Chongwen is now the grandson of the emperor. Does he have a better future?

Could that be the heir to the throne?

The Crown Prince!

The new ruler of the entire Great Xia Dynasty in the future!

"Someone, send the Crown Princess back to the East Palace!" Seeing that Lu remained silent, the Emperor of Daxia called the guards, turned away from her, and shouted at Shen Yuyao in a deep voice, "Lord Shen!"

Shen Yuyao hurriedly took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am here."

"Close the door of Fengxian Palace tightly, and no one is allowed to approach."

"Yes."

"Chong Wen, come here."

When he saw that the door of Fengxian Hall was closed and only Shen Yuyao and Xia Chongwen were left in the hall, the emperor's expression softened a little.

"Yuyao, come here too." A rare look of kindness appeared on the face of the Emperor of Daxia.

......

The guards outside Fengxian Hall stayed there all night.

In the middle of the night, they saw the emperor's grandson wiping his tears and walking out of Fengxian Hall.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Fengxian Hall was closed tightly again.

As the sky gradually brightened, the door of Fengxian Hall was slowly opened from the inside again.

When Shen Yuyao walked out of Fengxian Hall, her eyes were as red as the morning glow in the sky.

She did not go back to Prince Ning's Mansion directly, but waited for the servant outside the palace gate and gave him a few instructions before going straight to Zuixian Tower.

Zuixianlou had not yet opened for business. Seeing that the person knocking on the door was Shen Yuyao, who was wearing a python costume, the shopkeeper's eyes were full of shock. He hurriedly opened the door and said respectfully, "Sir, please come in!"

"Is the boss here?" Shen Yuyao asked in a deep voice.

"The boss has been here waiting for you early this morning." The shopkeeper bowed and motioned Shen Yuyao to go to the backyard.

Shen Yuyao was just wondering why the person who opened the door was the shopkeeper. It turned out that Xu Yunxuan had already expected that she would come to Zuixianlou.

She gently put down her hand on the soft sword at her waist, pushed open the door, and walked towards the backyard.

The words that the emperor said to her last night kept repeating in Shen Yuyao's ears.

"Respecting the system of primogeniture, I will enthrone my grandson Xia Chongwen as the Crown Prince."

"A hundred years after my death, the Crown Prince Xia Chongwen will ascend the throne."

"Yu'er is the one who is most like me. His military achievements are outstanding, so I no longer have to worry about the north. However, he is good at expanding the territory, but not good at defending the city and governing the country."

"Now, the Lu family and its Western Factory have already grown strong. In order to prevent the Lu family from monopolizing power after Chong Wen ascends the throne in the future, I have specially granted you the edict."

"Prince Ning is specially authorized to follow the imperial order to help the king and quell the rebellion!"

"If that day ever comes, I hope you can do your best to preserve the prince's bloodline. As for Chong Wen... I have already prepared a cassock and Buddhist beads for him..."

"I once asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate that Chongwen's head is quite tilted, and it is actually a 'half moon'. I am afraid that he will not have a good end in the future..."

Shen Yuyao vaguely remembered that there was a family banquet in the palace on the night of the third day of the first lunar month, and the Emperor of Daxia was watching the crescent moon.

The Crown Prince and his grandson Chongwen were both present at the time, so the Emperor ordered them to compose poems to praise the first month respectively.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote in a poem: "Yan Ling lost his fishing hook last night, who pushed it up to the top of the blue cloud. Although we did not get a reunion, there was still a clear light shining on the nine states."

The grandson Xia Chongwen wrote a poem: "Who used jade fingernails to make marks in the sky? The shadow fell into the river and lake, and the dragon dared not swallow it."

After Shen Yuyao read it, she felt that none of them were good omens.

This also fits exactly what Xia Xiaoxian thought, that the prince will die young and Chongwen will inevitably suffer misfortune.

It turns out that the Emperor of Daxia had the same perception.

......

Xu Yunxuan made tea and sat on the soft chair, "Yuyao, I thought you would come to Zuixianlou as well."

Shen Yuyao picked up the teacup and said, "Yunxuan, have you remembered the whole book recently?"

"Probably nine out of ten." Xu Yunxuan smiled, "But there are always some holes that the author hasn't filled in, and even if you try your best, it won't work."

Shen Yuyao looked at her carefully, "Then Yunxuan, do you know why I entered the palace, and why I came to Zuixian Tower first after leaving the palace?"

Xu Yunxuan lowered her head, frowned and did not answer immediately.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yuyao asked again.

Xu Yunxuan reached out to take the cup of tea that was brewed for her, but she accidentally knocked the teacup to the ground.

There was a crisp "pop" sound.

The teacup broke into pieces.

"Yuyao." Xu Yunxuan said: "The emperor's move is to give all the names of 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness' to the crown prince's lineage, and give the name of 'rebel' to Prince Ning!"

Shen Yuyao looked at her and nodded slightly.

Xu Yunxuan rolled up her sleeves, reached out to pick up the largest piece of debris on the ground, and placed it on the table. "The Emperor of Daxia is truly the founding monarch. He has such far-sighted considerations."

"The worst possible outcome of the Emperor's plan is a rebellion that he had anticipated."

"And this rebellion, no matter what the outcome will be, is just a change of the supreme ruler within his Xia family."

"This land still belongs to the Xia family, and the people at the pinnacle of power are always the blood and flesh of the emperor!"

"The old emperor really has a good plan."

As she spoke, Xu Yunxuan had already picked up the larger pieces of debris on the ground and placed them on the table.

"Yuyao, you didn't go back to Prince Ning's Mansion, but instead rushed to Zuixianlou. You want to ask about the future fortune of the entire Prince Ning's Mansion."

As she asked Shen Yuyao, she pieced the larger pieces together.

"Is my guess right?"

Shen Yuyao also helped her pick up a few smaller pieces, "No, I just want to ask about one person's ending."

"Who?" Xu Yunxuan's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Little Fairy Princess!" Shen Yuyao put down the fragments in her hand and looked straight at Xu Yunxuan.

"She?" Xu Yunxuan exclaimed, "She doesn't even appear in the book I read!"

"..."

When Shen Yuyao walked out of Zuixian Tower, she actually forgot that it was Xia Xiaoxian's arrival that changed the fate of her and Xu Yunxuan.

Although Xu Yunxuan came from another, more advanced world in the book, she was probably even more confused than Shen Yuyao about the fate of Xia Xiaoxian.

Standing at the gate of Zuixianlou, Shen Yuyao suddenly felt like she was in a dream.

Although Xu Yunxuan had already told her the ending of everyone in the book, Shen Yuyao knew that because of the appearance of Xia Xiaoxian, everyone's ending might change.

Should she now silently undertake the execution of the Emperor's will, or tell Xia Xiaoxian everything before making a decision?

Shen Yuyao suddenly felt confused about the way forward, as if she didn't know where to go next.
