Back then, the process of Emperor Ruikang's ascension wasn't considered peaceful either, it was only because he had ascended to the throne back then, and it was entirely because his royal grandfather was unwilling to hand over the throne to him.
It was because his royal grandfather's favorite son was only a few years older than his Emperor Ruikang. At that time, it was impossible for him to throw the position of emperor to a young child, and he could only unwillingly pass the position of emperor to his Emperor Ruikang.
But at the very end, he had made various clear indications, that he wanted Emperor Ruikang's Royal Father not to pass on his position to his own son, but to his own younger brother, who was also the youngest son of Emperor Ruikang's grandfather.
However, back then, Emperor Ruikang did not say anything to reject his words, but since the throne was in his hands, how could he be willing to give it up to his own son?
That was why when Emperor Ruikang ascended to the throne, the imperial court was in chaos. That time, many clans died, and it just so happened to be an attack from an enemy.
Many years had already passed, and logically speaking, no one would bring up this matter, but this time, the Emperor Ruikang himself took the initiative to mention it.
When the youngest son of the Emperor Ruikang's grandfather was born, he was bestowed the title Spirit King. Later on, no one knew where the Spirit King went, and most people believed that the Spirit King had already been secretly killed, but it was only when the Emperor Ruikang ordered that the Third Prince be transformed into a butterfly and become the Spirit King's grandson that everyone realized that the Spirit King was not dead.
The Spirit King was indeed not dead. Although there were not many branches that could prove the identity of the Spirit King, the few of them were still able to prove that the Master Xuan Ling of the Spirit Valley Temple was the Spirit King back then.
"Is the Master Xuan Ling a Spirit King?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu in shock. She really did not expect that the old monk who asked her questions while smiling was actually the Spirit King.
Seeing Young Girl's surprised face, Xu Shiqiu could only nod his head.
He was also a person who did not want to believe this, but in the morning, there were already a few royal relatives who came out. Not only did this prove the identity of the Master Xuan Ling, it also gave them a good day to live.
It seemed that they were very much in favor of Emperor Ruikang accepting Ye Jingche as a successor.
In this way, Ye Jingche had completely lost the chance to fight for the throne, but because he had inherited the Spirit King's inheritance, he would be able to live carefree in the future.
Emperor Ruikang had done all he could for his son.
The most important thing was that the Master Xuan Ling actually agreed to it.
After all, he had already left home and logically speaking, he no longer had any relationship with the Imperial Family. But now, he also agreed.
When Xu Shiqiu heard of this news, he was already dizzy because he did not know what to do next.
Their Xu Family had enmity with Ye Jingche, but the Master Xuan Ling had helped him before. And today, their own Young Girl had even frequently given them sesame seed cakes, but now …
Dong Shu could also feel her husband being tangled, but she didn't know what to say.
Just as the two of them were silent, Ling Xiang's voice came from outside the house, "Master, Madam, Old Granny is calling the two of you to go to Main Yard."
The moment Ling Xiang's voice fell, Yuanxi's babbling voice came from outside the door.
Hearing Yuanxi's voice, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu looked at each other, got up at the same time and walked out of the house.
When he was outside the house, Xu Shiqiu immediately reached out and hugged Yuanxi in his arms. Ignoring her struggling towards Dong Shu, he patted her lightly. She smiled and said, "Father is hugging you. You are growing bigger and bigger now. Your mother won't be able to hug you anymore."
Yuanxi actually still didn't understand her words, but seeing that her mother didn't intend to hug her, she obediently laid down in Xu Shiqiu's embrace in the end, however, with a pair of eyes that were similar to Dong Shu's, she had been staring at Dong Shu the entire time.
Dong Shu was actually still able to hug Yuanxi, but it was just that Yuanxi was indeed growing bigger and bigger, heavier and heavier. Carrying her from the Shihuan Courtyard to the Main Yard, her arms would only be so tired that they would ache.
Now that her husband was at home and felt sorry for her, she naturally would not reveal this matter.
Thinking about it, Dong Shu smiled at Yuanxi before turning her head, no longer looking at him.
Yuanxi, who was close to ten months old, didn't know why her mother wasn't looking at her anymore. She was a little unhappy, but she couldn't express anything.
When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at Main Yard, Old Madame Xu was sitting at the main seat in the hall drinking tea, seeing them come, she could only nod her head, even Yuanxi, who usually had to be carried for a while, did not have the spirit to hug her.
"I already know about the matters of the imperial court."
Old Madame Xu looked straight at Xu Shiqiu. She did not have the slightest intention to hide the news that she found another way to obtain it.
Hearing his mother's words, Xu Shiqiu could only nod his head, and did not ask her how his knew.
Old Madame Xu had been through many things, so one look at Xu Shiqiu's expression was enough to tell that he was in a dilemma.
He wanted to take revenge, but Ye Jingche was about to become the descendant of the Spirit King, so the Master Xuan Ling had a lot of care for his Xu Family. Even the bad luck on his body was being suppressed by Ye Jingche.
Although now that he thought about it, there should be Emperor Ruikang's intentions behind it, Master Xuan Ling had also spent a lot of effort thinking about him back then.
He, Xu Shiqiu, was not a person who did not know how to be grateful.
But Ye Jingche, was the main culprit who destroyed the blissful days of Xu Family. He had no choice but to take revenge.
"In the autumn of this year, there are still nearly two months until Ye Jingche's day of adoption."
Old Madame Xu suddenly said these words, not only Dong Shu, even Xu Shiqiu was startled for a moment.
Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu was not Dong Shu. In just an instant, he had understood what his mother meant.
"Mother, do you mean that there will be variables during this period of time?"
If this was a normal situation, Xu Shiqiu might be able to understand it, but today, his mind was in a mess, and he could not calm down at all, so how could he understand the meaning behind this?
The Old Madame Xu understood her son's reaction. She nodded, but didn't try to hide it, and said directly, "We all know that His Majesty is doing this to protect him, but is he really willing to just let the throne slip by his hands? Perhaps, he has always been thinking that he still has the ability to contend for the throne. "
But now, the Emperor Ruikang had directly adopted him, and even passed him on to the Spirit King who had already left home. It had been two generations, and there was no chance for him to fight for the throne.
But was Ye Jingche willing?
"I can't accept this! Why, why would the Royal Father let me go? I am not that kind of prince with a low birth, my mother's family is noble, and my family has a direct son, what right do you have to let the Royal Father take me out? "
Ye Jingche flew into a rage in the Third Prince Palace, wishing that he could smash everything that was by his side.
Outside the door, the Third Prince Concubine was standing with the two secondary concubines outside the door. Listening to the activity inside the door, her brows revealed a little more decisiveness.
Back then, when her family and the Third Prince connected together and selected her to marry to the Third Prince, they had only thought of giving it their all so that they could earn a chance for the Zheng Family to return.
But now, if Third Prince was truly adopted out, then she would at most be a spiritual wangfei in the future. How would she ever have the chance to sit as Empress?
Thinking about how he had endured for so many years and how he did not have the chance to sit in that seat, the Madame Zheng glanced at the two secondary wives behind him and said: "You two can go back first."
The Yu clan and the Madame Liu did not speak any further after hearing Madame Zheng's words. They bowed and left at the same time.
Although the two of them were doted on by Ye Jingche, when something really happened, Ye Jingche could only listen to Madame Zheng.
It was precisely because of this that, although the Madame Zheng wasn't doted on by Ye Jingche, no one dared to really give her face in the Third Prince Palace.
After Madame Zheng saw that her parents had left, she turned to Ye Jingche and said, "I'm coming in."
The Madame Zheng immediately said, and the moment she finished speaking, Ye Jingche also stopped getting angry, and quietly sat there thinking about something.
When Madame Zheng entered, she ignored the fragments on the ground. Each step seemed like she was walking very casually, but she completely avoided the fragments on the ground.
When she arrived in front of Ye Jingche, she directly said, "The Zheng Family still has soldiers."
The moment Madame Zheng opened her mouth, Ye Jingche immediately understood what she meant. He looked at the Madame Zheng in shock, as if it was her first time meeting her.
Madame Zheng could not help but sneer when she saw Ye Jingche's surprised expression: "What? Are you not willing to take this step? " After saying this, the Madame Zheng did not wait for Ye Jingche to speak and continued, "This is your last chance, and also the last chance to enter the Third Prince Palace."
After saying that, the Madame Zheng noticed that Ye Jingche's brows were slightly moved, and continued: "Think about it, if you are truly out, in the future, you will at most have the status of a Spirit King, but if I am successful, as long as I am …"
Madame Zheng did not finish her words, but she knew, Ye Jingche was moved.
Ye Jingche knew that the reason the Madame Zheng had said all these was because she was unwilling, and also unwilling.
He had been preparing for many years for the throne, and his mufei had even attacked many times for him, just to help him clear the way.
But if he really was allowed to leave, mufei would feel very awkward in the palace, as well as those who had spent many years thinking about him.
I'm afraid they are also unwilling!
Thinking of this, Ye Jingche closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a tinge of determination had appeared in his eyes.
"I'll discuss this with mufei and uncle. If they support you as well, then you can go back to the Zheng Family."
Madame Zheng was not surprised to hear Ye Jingche's words, since this was an important matter and not something that could be settled with just a few words from her.
Besides, if they really were to take that step, the imperial concubine and the Liu family would have to contribute as well.
"Yes, I will listen to you."
The Madame Zheng was extremely respectful towards Ye Jingche, but the two of them understood that there was no relationship between them, and the one who maintained their relationship was that alluring throne.
Now that an accident had occurred, they were able to calmly join hands.
The reason for that was naturally because of the lofty throne.
