Chapter 592-Ambition
Chapter 592-Ambition
Feng Suo glanced around and saw that no one approached except the palace servants who had gone far away, so he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "They all hope that Brother Rong or Brother Xian can become the crown prince or emperor in the future, but I hope it can be you... If Brother Nine becomes emperor one day, I hope you can help me realize this wish."
"..." Zhou Chang's brain completely froze.
"Ninth brother, ninth brother?" Feng Suo shook Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang didn't react for a long time.
Originally, wanting to sit in that position was just her personal selfish desire. She didn't even dare to think about it in private, because she didn't even know what Prince Yi was thinking.
No one expected that Feng Suo would suddenly break this layer of window paper.
But she couldn't admit it anyway, so she had to threaten him with a fierce face: "Scare, don't talk nonsense, it will kill us all, understand?"
"I know..." Feng Suo said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and he felt a little aggrieved, "But I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I couldn't help it today."
"Stop talking." Zhou Chang was about to leave the palace. It was not appropriate to continue talking at this point, and it was not appropriate for her to stay in the palace, so she said, "Forget it, you should go back to Concubine Qin quickly. I will leave the palace too. Remember that you didn't say what you said just now, and I didn't hear it either."
"Ninth brother..." Feng Suo was about to say something.
From a distance, Yuanjie and two eunuchs came over.
When Zhou Chang saw Yuan Jie, he immediately thought of Yuan Qi.
She had tried to get information from Yuan Jie and Feng Suo both directly and indirectly, and apart from knowing that Yuan Qi was focusing on his career, nothing really happened.
Zhou Chang even asked Gao Yuan: "Don't you miss Liu E?"
Gao Yuan's answer was: "Kunyufang in Jindu is becoming more and more prosperous. I heard that similar workshops have been opened in various places in Lin Country, and it has caused quite a stir."
This answer is equivalent to saying nothing.
And there’s no question of “vibration”, right?
Zhou Chang didn't think much of it at the time. Kunyufang had only become a hot topic among boudoir gatherings and women's street talk, but it couldn't change the overall situation, so it was all in vain.
After all, there is still no news from Yuan Qi, but her shadow is everywhere.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sad and didn't stop.
Zhou Chang gave Feng Suo a few random instructions and then left the palace.
Along the way, he had no conversation with the skinny monkey, but as soon as he returned to Prince Yi's study, Zhong Yu came up to him and asked, "Prince, are you planning to go to support Yuebei?"
"How did it spread so fast?" Zhou Chang wondered.
Zhong Yujiu once again shook his head with a frown: "Not right, not right... Why does the prince insist on going to Yuebei at this time?"
Zhou Chang thought of those people in the imperial study and sneered, "The master didn't want me to go, so I didn't go."
"So, Your Majesty wants the title of Great General in order to have an excuse not to go to Yuebei?" Zhong Yu asked immediately, and then disagreed as usual, "This excuse is really not good. If you want to find a reason, there are many better ones than this."
Zhou Chang pretended to feel sorry: "Alas... I don't have your quick wit, but having said that, I really want the title of a great general, how impressive it is."
Zhong Yu was not sure whether this was a joke or not, so he asked himself: "Why does the prince want the title of general? An empty title without substance will not only bring no benefits, but often bring disasters."
Zhou Chang didn't know whether his sudden action today was wise, but he still had to make an excuse: "Sir, think about it carefully, what will happen if King Xian returns victorious this time? What if we have evidence in our hands?"
"Unfortunately, we have only found some scattered fragments, which cannot constitute strong evidence." Zhong Yuye could only admit that there was no evidence yet.
"If there is evidence that King Xian has returned victoriously, Your Majesty should have made preparations early. If there is evidence that King Xian has returned victoriously, shouldn't we make preparations early?" Zhou Chang finally told Zhong Yu more or less what he was thinking.
"This..." Zhong Yulue hesitated for a moment, but still objected, "Your Highness has never thought about this move. What will King Xian think? And if we go to Yuebei, it will still be very inappropriate..."
"Alas, sir, you don't have to worry about this. Today in the imperial study, His Majesty did not agree to my request." Zhou Chang still felt a little disappointed when he mentioned this.
At this point, Zhong Yuye was relieved: "If that's the case, I'm worrying too much. No matter what, I have to think twice before I move to Yuebei."
Zhou Chang nodded to Zhong Yu and said, "I know you are thinking about me. I'd better wait and see how this matter develops. It is beyond my power to do anything."
Zhong Yu agreed and then left.
As soon as he left, Yuan Yun came in with two maids: "My Lord, I heard that you want to go to northern Vietnam for support?"
"How did you know it so quickly?" Zhou Chang had really had enough.
Zhong Yu might have heard it from Shouhou, but Yuan Yun had no idea where she got the news so quickly.
Yuan Yun smiled proudly: "The news came from the palace. I heard that the prince wants to be a general."
Just now in the imperial study, Taifu Ling Yuan Chuan was also present, but he didn't say anything.
Zhou Chang could only sigh secretly, as everyone was more informed than Prince Yi.
Yuan Yun asked again: "Why did the prince go to Yuebei at this time?"
"If I don't go, who will go?" Zhou Chang now habitually argued with Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun's train of thought was different: "Your Majesty has been avoiding me. This time he is going to Yuebei again. Is he still thinking about meeting someone?"
Yuan Yun's mother, Fan, has always warned and comforted her daughter that women can be jealous but they should not show it on their faces. It is even more taboo to always talk about those bitchy women, as that will not have any effect and will only cause men to be disgusted.
Yuan Yun always listened to this, but she couldn't help herself at the critical moment.
She had been patient and had not mentioned Yuan Qi, but she knew exactly what Prince Yi did when he went to Beiji last time. After all, Jin Caosi Fan Ye was her uncle.
Therefore, Yuan Yun's silence did not mean that she knew nothing and had been enduring it, but only because Prince Yi did not do anything except bringing back Mei Sheng.
"I won't see anyone. If the someone you are talking about is Yuan Qi, go and ask around. She has always been in the south, not in northern Vietnam at all." The harder Zhou Chang spoke, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Yuan Yun really had something to say, so she suppressed her anger and changed to a gentle attitude: "Your Highness wants to go to Yuebei, is it for your personal future?"
She was right about this. Zhou Chang didn't want to talk too much about this with Yuan Yun, but he had no choice but to answer, "I guess so."
Yuan Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "If that's the case, Your Highness, there's no need. Father has already contacted the available court officials in private. Your Highness doesn't have to take the risk alone."
"You guys..." Facing Yuan Yun's watery almond eyes, Zhou Chang felt mixed emotions, sympathizing but unable to empathize, "You still want to be the queen?"
"Being queen is the highest aspiration of all women in the world. What's wrong with that?" Yuan Yun has never failed to conceal her desires.
This is also what Zhou Chang admires most about her, but after all, they are not people who want to go the same way, so he can only say: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you, so don't pin your hopes on me."
"I believe that everything depends on human efforts." Yuan Yun was still so confident.
"What will you do if I can't do it?" Zhou Chang suffered a series of "blows" today.
Yuan Yun was stunned and couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.
Zhou Chang secretly shook his head. In Yuan Yun's eyes, Prince Yi was just a tool to achieve his goal. He couldn't help but sigh: "You don't even know what you really want."
Yuan Yun came back to her senses after a while, tears already running down her cheeks. She asked back, "Then does the prince know what he really wants?"
Zhou Chang's breathing stagnated.
Yes, you are only looking at others, but what about yourself?
