Nangong Xiu's voice was choked with sobs as he tightly held onto Bing Ying's hand.

Bing Ying endured the pain and said, "Do you still want to be the emperor?"

Nangong Xiu's eyes turned sharp and nodded, "Yes! More than ever! I secretly swore it at that time! I must be emperor! I must be the Emperor! "

His heart had never been so firm and cold!

Nangong Chen's betrayal had completely disappointed Nangong Xiu. At this moment, he had already given up all hope!

Nangong Xiu was a strong man!

But he was a lonely son!

Bing Ying hugged him tightly …

This man had unknowingly taken root within her heart …

She hated power struggles and scheming!

However, this time, because of Nangong Xiu, she had decided to become involved in this bloody war of authority!

Bing Ying was a secret service agent in her previous life. In the eyes of mortals, the secret service was probably the best. But it wasn't! The best things a special agent could do was to be meticulous and calm!

She had decided to help Nangong Xiu ascend to the throne.

The fight for the crown prince was a battlefield. Everyone thought that once they became the crown prince, they would be able to stay in the martial world and become the emperor in the future! However, Bing Ying was much calmer than the others. She could clearly see everything!

Nangong Chen was only 61 years old, he still needed to be the emperor for a long time.

It didn't matter who became the Crown Prince! The man who became the crown prince would definitely become the target of public criticism, the target of all enemies. In the end, he was destined to be cannon fodder!

Shoot the bird at the head!

Bing Ying remembered that the greatest monarch in the history of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi, had very early become the second prince, Yin Ying. He was created three times and crippled three times, but in the end, he was still unable to become emperor. In the end, it was Fourth Prince Yin, who could bear it, who became the emperor!

Bing Ying didn't want to be the crown prince, but there was one person who was worried!

This person was the emperor! Nangong Chen!

Two days later!

Nangong Chen had secretly summoned his trusted aides to discuss the matter of the Crown Prince!

The ministers summoned were Prime Minister Ao Lingtian, Xiao Fei, Beitang Ao, Prince Cheng, Minister of War Xie Qian, Minister of Rites Zhou Yang, Imperial Tutor Song Gang, Imperial Guard General Cao Yihai, Imperial Physician Lu Guangyu … Waiting for a dozen people.

For some reason, Empress Chen was not summoned.

Long live the mountain. Nangong Chen swept his eyes over the crowd and then began to recount a story, "Yesterday, I heard a rumor that was passed around in the palace. Ten-odd years ago, a woman, in order to get jealous, got rid of her rival and poisoned her daughter, who was still in her infancy, and then framed her rival! What are your thoughts after hearing this? "

Nangong Chen's tone was calm, no one could tell what he was thinking.

However, there was one thing that everyone was sure of. The woman Nangong Chen was talking about, was Empress Chen!

Now everyone knew why Empress Chen wasn't summoned! It turned out that someone had exposed the matter of Empress Chen framing Madam Song all those years ago.

This was a family matter for the emperor. Who dared to make such a reckless comment?

Nangong Chen had the ministers express their thoughts, but who would dare to speak?

There was dead silence below...

Nangong Chen's gaze stopped on Xiao Fei's luxurious face …

"Xiao Fei. You're a woman, too. "You tell me."

"Your Majesty." This concubine thinks that such a malicious woman will be executed! " Xiao Fei said calmly.

Nangong Chen's face sank as he said, "Then what if someone knows about this and purposely hides it from us?"

Xiao Fei's expression stiffened.

She knew that Nangong Chen must have guessed that she was the one who had purposely revealed such rumors at such a crucial moment after a dozen years … …

Empress Chen was not summoned and Xiao Fei was scolded by Nangong Chen.

However, the ministers could not guess what Nangong Chen was thinking. Accompanying a monarch like a tiger was a very dangerous matter if one could not guess at the divine will!

The people below panicked, afraid that a great disaster was about to befall them.

Nangong Chen quickly brought trouble over …

"There are three more days until my birthday!" However, in the past two months, the capital had been in an uproar. Everyone should be well aware of this, right? There must be some busybody here! My heart is troubled. I don't want to pursue those matters today. You are all subjects of my humerus, I would like to hear your views on the matter of the opposing Crown Prince. "

This was the first time Nangong Chen had formally proposed to be the crown prince!

"Great Sage!" You are the Prime Minister, so let's start with you! " Nangong Chen began to pick a general.

Ying Lingtian took a step forward and said, "Reporting to your majesty. This humble subject thinks that the First Prince is courageous, the Second Prince is gentle and weak, the Tianyue Dynasty was founded on martial arts, and the First Prince is the best candidate to be the future king. "

"Yes." What he said made some sense. Next, Imperial Tutor Song Gang! " Nangong Chen remained calm and continued to order.

As a member of the First Prince's faction, it was only natural that he speak up for him.

Song Wei was undoubtedly a member of the Second Prince's faction. He hastened to speak up for the Second Prince, "The Second Prince's political achievements are impressive. He has recently led the way in solving strange cases, managing corrupt officials and overhauling the imperial court. He is, in fact, the ideal candidate for the crown prince!"

Nangong Chen nodded without batting an eyelid and said, "That makes sense! "Next, the Imperial Guard's Lieutenant Cao Yihai, tell me!"

Cao Yihai replied, "Reporting to your majesty, this humble subject thinks that the Second Prince is very polite and knows how to be polite."

Minister of Rites Zhou Yang: "Your Majesty. "This humble subject thinks that the second prince …"

Imperial Physician Lu Guangyu: "Your Majesty, this humble subject feels that the First Prince …"

All of a sudden, the sleeping quarters had become a marketplace!

The First and Second Princes began quarrelling with each other.

Nangong Chen's face became colder and colder … …

The more these ministers supported the prince they supported, and attacked the pretense of opposition, the more annoyed Nangong Chen became!

The annoyance was reflected on his face, and his initial calm and collected expression gradually turned into a sneer and disdain.

Xiao Fei who was at the side, saw the scorn on Nangong Chen's face and knew that the current Nangong Chen hated the First and Second Princes to the bone!

At this time, no matter how much the ministers said and how intense the debate was, it would only increase Nangong Chen's disgust.

What to do?

How could he be accepted by Nangong Chen? And how about defeating the First Prince's faction?

Xiao Fei suddenly had a thought!

She suddenly thought of another person!

She did not only have Nangong Yan as her only son, she had another son!

She thought back to Bingying's words. Perhaps she really should do something for the fourth prince at this time.

She plopped to her knees.

"Your Majesty." This concubine has something to say! "

"Xiao Fei, get up and speak."

"Chenqie can't get up! Your Majesty, please listen to this concubine speak. "

"All right. Tell me about it. "

Xiao Fei continued, "All these years in the harem, chenqie and her other concubines fought for the affection between each other. They even did a lot of dirty things! Your consort knows that she has sinned and is ashamed of her grace to the Emperor! "

Nangong Chen's face became a little happier.

It wasn't that he didn't know of the schemes and schemes of the concubines in the imperial harem, he was just too lazy to care about them. He found it much more pleasing for Xiao Fei to confess her mistakes.

Xiao Fei continued, "The Emperor has worked hard all his life for the country, and now he's been distracted by the matter of choosing a crown prince. This has affected his health even more. Chenqie was a woman who had married and followed her husband. Chenqie didn't have much experience and only cared for her husband and her son. Perhaps chenqie had done a lot of wrong things, but chenqie would never dare to have any selfish thoughts. I believe all the parents in the world have the same thoughts. Ying`er's poem was very well said, the hair at the temples gradually turned white, and she did not regret it at all, letting her son disappear into thin air! Which parent in the world doesn't want their children to be good? "

Xiao Fei's words were heartfelt and moved.

Nangong Chen was a little touched, at least Xiao Fei was speaking the truth. Which parent in the world isn't good for their children? Wasn't he the same as well?

Imperial Concubine Xiao continued, "Your Imperial Majesty went against the will of the heavens, this chenqie is very anxious. As for the election of the crown prince, chenqie is aware that no one is allowed to interfere in the affairs of the imperial government or the nation. But today, chenqie is risking her life to make a move against the emperor! "

Nangong Chen said, "What do you want to say? Speak! I forgive you for your innocence! "

"Empress Chen wants the First Prince to be the Crown Prince. Chenqie wants the Second Prince to be the Crown Prince. The other concubines in the harem are all scheming in their hearts for their own benefits. Because we all have our own selfish motives, and hope that our own son can become the crown prince, and keep his power and status! "

Nangong Chen sneered, "It seems that you really know what you've done …."

Xiao Fei's face was filled with regret as she said, "But chenqie was wrong! Since the Emperor chose the Crown Prince, how could he allow us women to deceive the Holy Emperor? Thus, chenqie promised the emperor that no matter who he planned to call the crown prince, chenqie would never do anything small on his back! "

Nangong Chen said, "Why did your thoughts suddenly change?"

Xiao Fei said, "Because chenqie realized that choosing a crown prince is for the emperor and for the succession of rivers and mountains! How could chenqie, for her own interests and selfishness, ignore the people? If he really wanted to choose a crown prince, he would have to choose a prince who could be lenient to the common people of the world, kind to his brothers and sisters, and revered by the elders. That was the emperor's fortune and the well-being of the people of the world! As for who the candidate was, that was not important. In any case, every prince is the blood and flesh of the emperor, so what difference does it matter who becomes the crown prince? "

Every prince was the blood of the emperor?

Who would be the crown prince?

Nangong Chen was deeply shocked!

For her to be able to say such righteous words, this made him feel as if this woman was sincerely repenting!

Nangong Chen muttered to himself for a moment and said, "My beloved concubine. "At least you know your way back. It's not in vain that I doted on you."

Xiao Fei snuggled up to Nangong Chen and said, "Your majesty. Your consort is guilty of the Emperor's kindness. "

"At this critical moment, you are finally able to think for me. It means that you have at least me in your heart." You said something just now that I agree with. A woman would be nothing more than a servant. So, what's wrong with you? "
