Chapter 120 Establishing a Crown Prince
Chapter 120 Establishing a Crown Prince
Chu Yan shook his head: "I don't know if it can be considered a discovery?"
"I clearly remember that although my mother was favored by my father, she was always very wary of the queen. The sentence she often told me was to try not to appear in front of the queen."
"At that time, the relationship between the Queen and the Concubine was not as intense as it is now, with the fights between them being so fierce."
Shen Yindi sneered. Anyone who could become a queen must have methods that ordinary people cannot compare to.
"How did your mother pass away?" Shen Yindi asked again.
"Died of illness."
"I now suspect that your mother was poisoned. After all, she was so favored back then, and the concubines in the harem must have been jealous of her."
Shen Yindi had also watched palace fighting dramas in her previous life.
This kind of plot is all too common.
Chu Yan shook his head: "My mother has passed away for many years, so there is no way to investigate this matter."
"Then you never doubted it?"
"I suspected it, but you don't know mother's situation at the time. She seemed to have a lot on her mind. Even though she was favored by father, I often saw her worried when she was alone."
"I don't know what she's thinking. I've asked her, but she never tells me."
"Later, the imperial physician examined her and said that she was suffering from depression. She was exhausted."
Shen Yindi sighed silently: "You were still very young at that time, right?"
"I was ten years old when my mother passed away."
How else can I say it?
What can a ten-year-old do?
I'm afraid he was very scared at that time.
He has to endure so much at such a young age.
Thinking of this, Shen Yindi felt extremely distressed.
"It's okay, it's all over. I'm here for you now!" Shen Yindi comforted gently.
Chu Yan finally smiled and hugged her in his arms.
"Luckily there's you."
Shen Yindi hugged his waist with both hands.
"Yes, so you are still very lucky to meet me!" There was a smile in her tone.
"Ah."
The two hugged each other silently for a while.
Shen Yindi said again: "Your Majesty, there is actually a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time."
"Huh? What?"
"Just... do you have any ideas about the position of crown prince or even the throne?" Shen Yindi asked involuntarily in a low voice.
Chu Yan was startled for a moment, but soon returned to normal. It was because she dared to ask such a question so blatantly.
"To be honest, I don't have any idea. There are too many restrictions. I prefer to be free and unrestrained, and do whatever I want." Chu Yan said truthfully.
Shen Yindi smiled and thought, if you want to be the emperor, I can help you get it.
But she actually prefers freedom.
But there is a very realistic problem.
"It's okay if you don't want to do it, but it must not be done by the eldest prince or the second prince. Once they gain power, we may all be dead!"
"With their minds, they would be incompetent even if they were emperors. They would be a disaster for the Great Chu."
For the sake of the people of the world, it can't be them.
"I believe that my father must have his considerations. And he is in good health now. It is obviously too early to abdicate." Chu Yan said lightly.
"That's true. It seems I have to work harder to make his body better!" Shen Yindi said confidently.
"it is good."
However, on the third day after the emperor returned to the palace, he issued an edict, appointing the eldest prince as the crown prince, the king of Chu, and entering the East Palace.
As soon as this edict was issued, it immediately caused an uproar.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The eldest prince's camp was particularly ecstatic.
Minister Shen and his family were also happy.
I am even happier than if I had been promoted myself.
Especially Shen Yinyin, she was so excited that she danced and couldn't sleep.
She had a feeling that her beautiful dream would soon come to an end.
How could she not be happy?
Minister Shen wished he could hold a grand banquet.
When he left the court, he straightened his back even more, looking like the proud future uncle of the emperor.
Shen Yindi was completely confused by the emperor's action.
Could it be that he was so moved by Chu Heng's sacrifice to save him that he decided to make him the crown prince?
She decided not to believe it!
The King of Chu is not yet so foolish.
There must be another reason!
As for the specific reason, probably only he himself knows best.
It is indeed disadvantageous for them that the eldest prince becomes the crown prince.
But Shen Yindi was not overly worried.
After all, he is just the prince, not the emperor?
Given the emperor's current physical condition, it will take some time for him to abdicate.
Besides, she had seen many cases of deposing crown princes. Don't think that everything will be fine after you establish a crown prince!
But at the same time, her test was even greater.
After the crown prince is appointed, they will probably be even more anxious to replace him and sit on the throne.
In this case, the emperor's health problems need more attention!
When Chu Yan heard the news, his expression remained gloomy for a long time.
Shen Yindi has always been optimistic.
"Prince, don't think too much. I now think that this may not be a bad thing." Shen Yindi held his hand, with a faint smile in her tone.
Chu Yan looked at her with a puzzled look: "Why are you saying that, Adi?"
His princess's ideas were always wild and eccentric, and ordinary people couldn't keep up with her thinking.
Chu Yan really wanted to hear her unique insights.
"Think about it, now that he has obtained the position of Crown Prince, isn't he more eager to obtain the throne as soon as possible?"
"Once his desire exceeds his reason, he will definitely do something revealing, right?"
"Let's just stare at him silently. Don't you believe that he can remain so calm?"
"If they see that the emperor's health is getting better, will they be more anxious?"
After hearing what Shen Yindi said, Chu Yan immediately understood.
"Adi is right! It is I who am too old-fashioned! I couldn't even think of this!" Chu Yan felt a little ashamed.
"You are the one who is most confused. And your concerns are also reasonable."
"Once Chu Heng becomes the crown prince, he will definitely find a way to embarrass us."
"But it doesn't matter. If he dares to come, I will go crazy!"
Shen Yindi was confident and she was not afraid of anyone causing trouble for her.
Her current principle in doing things is: refuse to waste energy and just go crazy when something happens.
"Okay." Chu Yan smiled and rubbed her head.
His Adi is so cute.
The ideas are always so different!
Shangshu Mansion.
Ever since the imperial edict was issued, Shen Yinyin has been immersed in a certain joy.
During this autumn hunt, she and Chu Heng had the opportunity to be alone together and expressed their feelings to each other.
Moreover, Chu Yue also told her that she hoped she could become her royal brother's principal wife in the future.
The queen was also very pleased with her.
The whole family is very happy.
When she becomes the Crown Princess, the first thing she will do is to seek revenge on that ugly guy!
She will never let her go!
That ugly guy will be stepped on by her for the rest of his life!
Thinking of this, she became even more excited.
When Madam Shen came to call her to dinner, she hugged her arm and asked, "Mother, when do you think the prince will marry his daughter? It should be soon, right?"
