"How could it be okay? With such a powerful Shangguan family, don't you wish to take them in for your own use? "If you have the help of my Shangguan family, even if you want to be the emperor, you can still make it now. Besides, the throne should be yours to begin with."
Shangguan Bing explained each word clearly, it was even impossible for Night Emperor Shang to deceive him that this was an illusion.
But at the same time, he also noticed something.
These words were exactly the same as what his royal father had said before. Could Shangguan Yun's death be related to royal father? Thinking of this, the expression on Night Emperor Shang's face changed.
"Your Highness, if it is so, I can help you. As long as he could force the Night Emperor to step down. "The Shangguan Family is willing to do anything." Shangguan Bing looked at Ye Huang Shang and said solemnly.
"Ha!" I'm afraid this isn't a good idea, right? The Shangguan Family's elders gave the Shangguan Family to you, not to let you and the Emperor have a showdown. " Night Emperor Shang joked.
"Indeed, but I feel that it is much better to have you as an emperor than him. It was the same for the Shangguan Family.
Even if he is unworthy of our Shangguan Family, this matter is not wrong for our Shangguan Family. But as time passes, inevitably he will not be suspicious, and even more so, he will not use us heavily. Even if we had given up our hatred of him, he would not have believed it either. This was being suspicious. Everyone had it.
So, if he remained on the throne, it would be a huge threat to the Shangguan family. Rather, let him step down. " Shangguan Xuan's words were straightforward, as if he was saying that the cucumber was not growing well and would be replanted after it was pulled out.
If these words were not spoken by him and were heard by others, they would either say that he was too arrogant to do anything, or treat him as someone who had committed a great injustice.
However, the person who said those words was the master of the Shangguan family. So, no one would think that he was joking.
The Shangguan family stood at the apex of all the families. If they said they would summon the wind and summon the rain, then they would really do it.
Nighttime was very clear, but his heart was very worried. Of course, what he was worried about was not what would happen to the Shangguan family, but Ye Huangyan.
If he really wanted the throne, he would have wanted it from the beginning. However, if Nightmare was unable to withstand it and was pulled down, then that would truly be terrible.
He was not the only King Jing in the Imperial Court. There was also the Fifth Prince. It was basically impossible for someone like Emperor Ye Xiu to fight for the throne. He would absolutely not be foolish enough to fight for it.
But the Fifth Prince was different. Thinking of this, Night Emperor Shang decided to first stabilize Shangguan Bing.
Having made up his mind, Night Emperor Shang raised his head and looked at Shangguan Han, saying, "Haha, since you think so, then I'll promise you that. "However, let me first state that everything must be done according to my orders. Only when I feel that I should take action can I make a move."
"Yes, but I also have a request. That is, before you attack, you must guarantee the prosperity of my Shangguan family. " Shangguan Bing looked at Ye Huang Shang and requested.
"Ha!" I'm relieved to hear that. It seems like you really care about your family. "
"Of course. My family and I share the same fortune, so how could I not mind? "
Shangguan Han looked at this Night Emperor Shang with an expression as if his imagination was running wild.
Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang also laughed.
"In that case, let's have a happy cooperation." I really hope that the day of cooperation will never come.
In this world, rumors spread quickly. And the rumors were true or false.
But on this day, news came from the Imperial Palace. With the passing of the emperor, the crown prince was overseeing the country and would be able to ascend the throne one day. Also, the Prince of the Southwest became the Regent and stayed in the palace.
This piece of news blew the people outside the palace into a daze. Some of those who had not been summoned also entered the palace after hearing the news.
Of course, the reason they entered the palace wasn't because of the passing away of the Emperor, nor was it because the new Emperor was the Crown Prince. What they were interested in was the matter of the Prince of the Southwest becoming Regent.
This fact was too horrifying.
Without even mentioning what sort of person the Prince of the Southwest was, just the past legends about him were enough to make people fear him. But would such a person choose to remain in the Imperial Palace? Even people who didn't know him wanted to persuade him to reconsider.
Amongst these people, the one who was the most excited was none other than the Night Emperor. Only the heavens knew, he had only talked to the Prince of the Southwest not long ago, so why was the Prince of the Southwest so mad?
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to go to the Imperial Palace? This subordinate knows that the Prince of the Southwest is on the same side as the Queen, and you don't even have to ask. Besides, we haven't really formed an alliance yet. How he had nothing to do with us.
Your Royal Highness, didn't you want the country to be safe? If the Southwest King is present in the imperial court, it will definitely be stable. "
In the Third Marquis' Mansion's study, Redtears followed closely behind Night Emperor Xiu, talking back and forth, afraid that he would really go see the Prince of the Southwest if he got too excited.
God knows, they were surprised when they found out that the Prince of the Southwest and the Empress were on the same team. However, it was only surprise.
He had thought that there would be no problems on the prince's side, but who would have thought that the prince would be so excited. As she thought about the fact that the Prince was about to enter the palace, she felt a headache coming on.
Everyone knew that the Prince and Queen of the Southwest were now in the same group, so why did he want to explain it to them?
He couldn't understand it at all.
"That's right, Your Highness. Redtears is right. Your subordinate also feels that we should do a good job on our own." The Prince of the Southwest, it's true. " Originally, Blue River didn't have a favorable impression of the Prince of the Southwest. This result was also within his understanding.
After all, he had the privilege of witnessing the matter of the Prince of the Southwest once.
He was born at the border. Then he was taken into the barracks to be remanded.
Because he was young, he had placed him next to the Prince of the Southwest to wait upon him.
Then, that night, the queen came to him and asked him to join the army, and then he saw something he would never forget in his life. The daring Prince of the Southwest hugged the empress. He was pouring out his love.
And then there was no 'then'. The next day, the Prince of the Southwest sent troops to suppress the enemy troops at the border.
Only then did he know that among those beauties of the Prince of the Southwest, there was not a single one he liked.
Later, he was taken back by his family and left the military camp. He switched hands and was sent to another family, said to be used as a hostage.
After going back and forth like this, it finally ended up in the hands of the prince. And then all the way until today.
"Your Highness, your subordinate feels that it's better if you don't go. If something were to happen to you, how would your subordinates explain themselves to your highness? "Who else can protect the wangfei?"
Blue River was very smart. He pulled out water and used it as a shield. Sure enough, the moment he heard the name Shui Long, the Night Emperor Xiu immediately stopped what he was doing.
He frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "If anything happens to me, I will take her to see Night Emperor Shang. King Jing will definitely help."
F * ck! Is it really good for you to hand your woman over like this?
"Your Highness, this matter should be decided from a long-term perspective."
"Alright, you two don't need to say anymore. This king has made up his mind that I will definitely go to the palace and ask about this person. That person is definitely not a person who will be dazzled by the power in front of his eyes. There must be a reason for him to do so. "
Night Emperor Xiu's heart was very firm.
"Since Your Highness feels this way. Then why are we still trying to figure it out? " Red tear did not understand.
"Because I want to know why he did it. If that reason convinced me, I would choose to remain silent. It didn't matter if this country was handed to Night Emperor Yan just like that. However, if that reason doesn't convince me, even if I have to take the crime of being disrespectful, even if it is to desecrate the dignity of the Imperial Family, I will definitely pull that person down from the throne. "
As he finished speaking, his gaze turned ice-cold.
Tears and Blue River heard this and fell silent. In fact, they truly hoped from the bottom of their hearts that he would become the emperor. However, all these years, he had been worrying about the bad rumors about his mufei, as well as the matter of him not being the emperor's biological son.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, the prince still cared. He did not wish to bring shame to the royal family because of this matter.
The royal family represents this country. His Royal Highness loved this country and loved the people here more than anyone, so he suppressed the ambition in his heart.
Who in this world didn't want to be an emperor? However, he chose to give up.
It was because of this that they respected this person so much.
"Since Your Highness has already decided, then please allow this subordinate to follow you."
Blue River volunteered.
"Too crafty, I want to go too." Red tears followed.
"All of you, stay behind to protect her. If anything happens to her, none of you are allowed to see me again." With that, the Night Emperor left.
After the Night Emperor left, Blue River and Redtears looked at each other.
"Don't you think that Prince is being too nervous? Why worry about the Princess? There shouldn't be anything on the side of the wangfei. " Blue River didn't understand.
"I don't know, but His Highness must also have his own reasons. The identity of the wangfei was not announced to the world, and there wasn't even a wedding banquet. It was just that we agreed to it. " As Redtears spoke to here, she frowned. He didn't understand why the Night Emperor would do such a thing.
Moreover, even though she said that it was an imperial concubine, the prince would actually never touch her. Respected and adored. It was as if he was in love? It was still that kind of young and immature boy's love affair.
As she thought of this, she felt extremely puzzled.
With his identity as the prince, what kind of woman couldn't he get? Why was he so persistent, and why was he so slow to make a move?
"To the prince, an imperial concubine is too important. Perhaps he was worried about anything happening to the princess consort. To the prince, no matter what happened to the princess, he wouldn't accept it. Since the prince wants us to stay, then we will have to watch. "Speaking of which, where is Bai Qi?"
Blue River finished his sentence and stared blankly. Only then did Zhang Xuan realize that White Chess had never appeared.
"He has probably left with the prince?"
"Damn!" Your Highness allowed it? " Blue River was furious.
"He did not appear. Thus, the Prince was unable to order him directly, so naturally, he will be able to follow. " Tears were tinged with depression. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have come out to persuade him.
"That kid is too cunning!" Blue River gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he felt more at ease.
"With Baiqi around, your highness should be fine. If anything happens to your highness in this situation, Baiqi can just apologize with his death."
Blue River said. His heart calmed down.
Over here. Both of them were concerned about the Night Emperor's cultivation, and at the same time, in another place within the palace. Shui Long hesitated.
Originally, she had only been bathing in the sun. Who would've thought that suddenly, a carrier pigeon would land by her side. Then, out of curiosity, she opened it up. In the end, it was actually given to her by Night Emperor Shang. He said that he hoped that she would be able to find him.
He even said that if he didn't go, he would regret it sooner or later.
Regret what? The water flowed slowly, not understanding.
But to go? How would he explain this to the Night Emperor? Water hesitated. But in the end, she still decided to ask Night Emperor.
There was something wrong with the Emperor Xiu today. He had received some news before he left. She couldn't see anyone here, and she didn't go out, so she didn't know what was going on outside. It's not good for the world to wake me up and let me get drunk.
After making up his mind, he let the carrier pigeon go and walked outside.
Coincidentally, she was facing Tears and Blue River, who had just left Night Emperor's study.
"Princess." The two of them greeted Shui Ruo.
Shui Long listened and nodded. "There's no need to be so courteous." After saying that, Shui Ruo rushed towards the door.
"Wait, Princess, where are you going?" Blue River saw that Shui Long wanted to leave, so he hastily stopped him.
"Going out for a walk? What? Do you want to follow me?" Shui Yuehan asked with a smile.
"If possible, I would like to follow you." Blue River shamelessly said.
At this point, Shui Ruo's face turned black. What a joke, how could she possibly bring the subordinate of the Night Emperor to meet the Night Emperor? What if he was misunderstood?
