Chapter 406: The Empress' Thoughts
At that time, no anomalies had been detected. However, the father-in-laws words made Qin Feng reflect, and he realized several inconsistencies.
Aside from other things, if the Empress did not really know him, would she really let him heal Princess Anya without trusting him?
Although this did not rule out the possibility that the Crown Prince was speaking well for him, it still seemed too simple.
Moreover, the Empress did not retaliate despite the constant trouble of the Third Prince.
Even though she knew he was pretending to be feinting, she didnt point it out. Instead, she called himself up after dismissing everyone.
Putting all the clues together, Qin Feng became more and more alarmed.
He spoke up, But why does the queen want to express goodwill to me? I have clearly never met her before.
Its because of the Crown Prince, said the silent Old Master Liu after a long pause.
The crown prince? Qin Feng muttered, suddenly understanding something, Succession war! The empress wants to use me to connect with the Liu family for the crown prince?
Liu Tianluo glanced sideways, nodded with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
With confirmation, Qin Feng knew his guess was correct, instantly understanding many things.
The succession war was a battle among the imperial princes to obtain the qualification for the next emperors throne.
Before sitting on the throne, the so-called crown prince was just a title!
As it was widely known, to challenge other princes, having ones own power was crucial.
The one who garnered the most support naturally had a greater probability of inheriting the throne.
Of course, while rallying their own forces, they couldnt anger the emperor, or else everything would be in vain.
As a heavyweight in the court, the Liu family had yet to align with any prince, making them a target for many aspiring heirs.
Whoever could win the support of the Liu family not only gained a strong voice in the military but also had the beautiful Sword Goddess Liu Jianli as a potential future supportera sword deity with limitless potential.
This would be a sharp sword hanging over many peoples heads, exerting powerful deterrent effects.
If any prince wanted to deviate from the usual path to seize the crown prince position, they had to carefully consider the strength of their followers!
The crown prince proposed to the Liu family in his youth, probably not only because of my wifes extraordinary talents but also with this thought in mind. And the empress bringing up this matter is to show me an attitudeJianli has become my wife, let bygones be bygones, and not hold any grudges because of it.
Damn it, when you think about it, the queen is really scary. She deserves to be the queen of scheming in the palace and the master of the harem, Qin Feng whispered in amazement.
The father-in-law paused for a moment before saying, Of course, besides attracting the Liu family, the empress may also want to win you over.
Until Qin Feng and the others left, the common people still stood there watching them, and no one left.
That night, the name Qin Feng quickly spread throughout Imperial City.
The next day, at the third quarter of the hour of the Dragon (around 7-9 am).
Qin Feng woke up leisurely and stretched.
He turned around and saw Liu Jianli, dressed in white, sitting beside the bed, looking at him quietly.
Whats wrong? Qin Feng asked curiously.
That Eunuch Li from last night came to see you this morning. Liu Jianli said softly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng sat up abruptly. If Eunuch Li came to find him, it meant that the emperor was looking for him, perhaps to convey an imperial decree.
As he got up and dressed hastily, he hurriedly asked, Did Eunuch Li just arrive?
Liu Jianli shook her head, He arrived about two hour ago.
What? Qin Feng was greatly shocked, Why didnt you wake me up, wife?
Seeing you sleeping soundly, I didnt want to disturb you, Liu Jianli replied gently.
The reasons made Qin Feng feel warm in his heart, but at the same time, he couldnt help but smile and cry, Wife, neglecting the emperors decree is a great disrespect.
It doesnt matter, let him wait, Liu Jianli spoke calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.
Qin Feng opened his mouth but didnt know what to say. The Wife was good in every way, except she didnt understand the intricacies of social relationships and the majesty of emperors.
Such a charming wife might be adorable, but she is also very likely to offend others.
Where is Chief Steward Li?
In the main hall.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng quickly dressed and hastily pushed open the door, heading towards the main hall of the Qin residence.
Running through the corridor, he suddenly noticed that the empty space in the original Qin residence was now filled with many objects.
These items were not rewards bestowed by the emperor, as they were ordinary things from common households.
There were stacks of eggs, homemade rice cakes, poultry and fish, and various fruits and vegetables.
Meanwhile, servants were continuously carrying these items into the Qin residence from the direction of the main gate.
