Chapter 981 His Plan

A hint of astonishment flashed through Yun Shang's eyes. She never thought that the truth was like this. It was Xia Chun who didn't want the throne and let Xia Huanyu ascend to the throne. However, Xia Huanyu didn't defend himself against the charge of killing his father and brother.

"My father liked to carve, but he was not interested in power. He was often scolded for this, so he became less interested in that position. His Former Majesty was good at both literature and martial arts, and had a good reputation in the court. At that time, my father had some plan. When she went to ask His Former Majesty for help, he was refused by His Former Majesty. Because His Former Majesty had fallen in love with the daughter of the Hua clan at that time, he had promised to only marry her in his life. If he took that position, it would be difficult. I don't know what my father has done, but His Former Majesty finally agreed." Liu Yinfeng held Bao'er's hand and looked out of the pavilion.

"Later, after Empress Hua fell off the cliff and disappeared and couldn't be found everywhere. His Former Majesty's heart was almost dead. He wanted to give the throne to me, and then he went to look for Empress Hua himself, so he tried every means to take me back to the imperial city. However, because of some unforeseen events, his wish could not be fulfilled. In fact, my father and I owe His Former Majesty a lot." Liu Yinfeng lowered his head and chuckled, with complex look in his eyes.

Yun Shang was surprised. In this way, it also explained why Xia Huanyu brought Liu Yinfeng to the Palace in the name of Lady Liu two years later. She didn't understand before, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this. Yun Shang opened her mouth and wanted to ask if he had ever wanted the throne? But she felt that this question went too far and did not ask.

"Xia Houjing..." Yun Shang said hesitantly after a moment of silence.

A hint of bitterness flashed through Liu Yinfeng's eyes. He sighed and said gently, "Maybe I'm not interested in power because I was influenced by my father. My father had been depressed all the time in the Jin City. After leaving the city, the whole family had a lot of fun, so I always feel that it's better to live an ordinary life. But he was born and raised in the Imperial Palace. He was used to fighting for power and was obsessed with the throne. But his temperament is not suitable to be the emperor. I have tried my best to persuade him, but he still can't let it go. If the battle between him and his majesty is inevitable, I only hope that his majesty can spare his life. "

Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled, "Since his majesty has promised you, he will not break his promise."

Then she looked up at the garden and changed the topic casually, "After some months, the flowers in the garden will bloom. When you were in the State of Ning, you told me that the Misty Mountain in the State of Xia was very beautiful in spring when the peach flowers were in bloom. Last year, we missed the time when the peach flowers bloomed. This year, we should be able to see the

n Shang was about to push the door open when she heard Liu Yinfeng's voice, "Your Majesty, please don't do this. It's really difficult for me to take this heavy task."

There was a hint of drunkenness in his voice.

Yun Shang paused. It seemed that Luo Qingyan was persuading Liu Yinfeng to be an official. He is right, many new officials had come into the court, but there should be someone who could lead them. If it were Liu Yinfeng, the officials would not have any doubts. After all, Liu Yinfeng had a high reputation in the court.

"What?" Luo Qingyan burped and said, "If you can't take this post, there will be no one else."

Yun Shang stood at the door, wondering if she should go in now and help Luo Qingyan persuade Liu Yinfeng. Before she could make a decision, Liu Yinfeng's voice came from inside, "Your Majesty is still young..."

"Young? I'm thirty. How many thirty years will a person have in his life? Do I have to spend the past decades in the fighting for power? I did try my best to get the throne, but if I have to make a choice between the throne and Yun Shang, I will choose Yun Shang without hesitation. '. I got the throne, but what I lost was something I cherished most. I don't want to regret it until I lose everything one day. "

Luo Qingyan said in a hoarse voice, which shocked Yun Shang.

"I know what I said just now is really hard for you. But you are the son of Xia Chun, the legitimate royal child of the State of Xia, and you are famous in the court. I also believe in you. I am very relieved to hand over the State of Xia to you."

Yun Shang clenched her hands in her sleeves. It turned out that Luo Qingyan wanted to give the throne to Liu Yinfeng instead of just letting him be an official.

Yun Shang's face was a little pale. She took two steps back, and her mind went blank. She kept thinking about what Luo Qingyan had just said. She stood there for a moment before she raised her eyes and made a gesture to Qing Hao, telling him not to tell Luo Qingyan that she had come, then she hurried out of the side hall.
