Lin Haoming warned his son not to tell anything about Miss Lin, and then things fell into silence again until the emperor's birthday came.
This birthday banquet was not only the emperor's twenty-fifth birthday, but it was also heard that it would be used to announce the appointment of a crown prince. This caused everyone in the capital to discuss the matter a lot, and many people even asked the Duke of Zhen Guo.
Who should be made the prince?
The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight. At the age of fourteen, he married the daughter of General Han Zhen, who was three years older than him, and made him a queen. However, Empress Han only served as queen for four years before she contracted a bad disease and died.
, only one princess was born in four years. Among the concubines favored by the emperor in the palace, only Concubine Jin and Concubine Xian both gave birth to princes. However, Concubine Jin is the daughter of General Bai Feng of Pingxi, while Concubine Xian is
She is the princess of Xuanwu Kingdom. Although this virtuous concubine is indeed beautiful and gentle, as the princess of Xuanwu Kingdom, even if the emperor favors her, it is unlikely that she will make her child the prince. Therefore, most people think that Concubine Jin’s son
Being established as a prince, she has a greater chance of becoming a queen.
"The matter of appointing a crown prince has been aroused for the past month. I have not expressed my position. If the emperor asks me, what should I say?" A few days before the birthday banquet, Ye Xuansheng took advantage of Ye Dingfeng's birthday to share his family's information.
People gathered over.
"Logically speaking, we should support Concubine Jin, but after Bai Feng took over my position, he eliminated many of my people in the southwest, and he has deep conflicts with my Ye family. Even if my father supports me, he may not be able to sell my favor to you.
Especially since this person is so ambitious, I'm afraid..."
"If I support Concubine Xian, I'm afraid some people will say that I have knowledge of foreign countries, right?" Ye Xuansheng sneered.
"If King Yong hadn't left so suddenly, you could have pretended to be crazy and stupid. Unfortunately, it's too much to pretend now!" Lin Haoming also said.
"Lao San, what do you think?" Ye Xuansheng asked.
"Dad, if you decide to leave the court, simply make your attitude clear first, or never speak at all!" Ye Chiren said.
"Yes, that's what I think too. If you don't fight with them, let them fight on their own!" Ye Xuansheng sneered.
"Dingfeng, what's wrong with you today? You've been in a daze?" Ye Chiren asked about his son.
"I...I was thinking that there must be people from us in the harem. Bai Feng has always been at odds with us. In this case, why doesn't he support Concubine Xian? They say that there is a connection with foreign countries. Our Ye family has lived and died for Xuanxi Kingdom. I don't believe it.
Someone will believe it!"
"This is not a question of whether anyone believes it, but a question of whether there is an excuse if that person wants to kill us." Ye Chide sighed.
"In this case, we might as well kill the Dog Emperor. Dad, that day was an opportunity. I am on duty myself. As long as the arrangements are made, the Dog Emperor will definitely die. When the time comes, Dad, you can go up and shout, as you are in Xuanxi Kingdom
With your prestige, there will definitely be many people willing to stand by your side. Our Ye family has no chance to replace you!" Ye Dingfeng shouted as if he was very anxious.
"Dingfeng, your ambition seems to be getting bigger and bigger!" Ye Chiren frowned.
"Can you really replace it? Do you think grandpa is really willing to stay? Do you know how the Nangong family came to establish the country in the first place? It was because the Xuanwu Kingdom wanted to destroy the Yuzhou Sword Sect, but Huang Longzi's master was still alive.
In anger, he beheaded the national master of the Xuanwu Kingdom. He was also thinking that he was the Xuanwang of Sanxuan. In the end, he himself was seriously injured. But even so, the Nangong family received the absolute support of the Yuzhou Sword Sect, and this was the reason why he
Nowadays, Yuzhou Continent has a three-legged situation. We have a very good relationship with Nangong Xi. When we helped King Yong, Nangong Xi just stood aside and watched, because this was an internal struggle within the Nangong family. But if we want to replace him, this ancestor of the Nangong family
, do you think he will watch us do this?"
"Is Nangong Xi really a member of the royal family?" Ye Dingfeng asked.
"What do you think? He was selected from some illegitimate sons by the royal family a long time ago and sent to the Yuzhou Sword Sect. The Xuanxi Kingdom was indeed weak at the time, so the Yuzhou Sword Sect could cultivate two Xuanwang masters, one bright and one dark.
Sitting in charge, this is what King Yong told me, and this is why I would rather live in seclusion than die in a desperate situation!" Ye Xuansheng said helplessly.
"Brother-in-law, you and Senior Huang Longzi have been friends for many years. Isn't there any benefit from your trip to Changlong Mountain this time? I heard that a disciple of the Yuzhou Sword Sect has come back with you!"
"Yes, Senior Huang Longzi sent her here to protect me!" Lin Haoming said.
"Dingfeng, you still don't understand what the Yuzhou Sword Sect means. Obviously they won't pay attention to things that don't threaten the Yuzhou Sword Sect. Huang Longzi can at most send people to protect us." Ye Xuansheng sighed.
After hearing this, Ye Dingfeng's face turned pale, and his whole person seemed to have lost all strength.
"Third son, you have to take good care of your son. In the past two years, I feel more and more that he is no longer as steady as before. He always worries about gains and losses when doing things!" After the meeting ended, Ye Xuansheng still called Ye Chiren to his side and gave him a few words of warning.
Lin Haoming also looked at Ye Dingfeng and felt that this boy was a little strange, but he didn't care, because if the other party was going to make a move, he would definitely be a part of it, and the result would be there as long as he waited.
Because the emperor's birthday banquet was about to be held, the palace guards were also busy, and extra personnel were assigned to various positions. Ye Dingfeng also patrolled day and night as required.
"Manager Ye!" Just before the birthday banquet was about to be held, Ye Dingfeng, who was on duty, was patrolling when a sharp voice suddenly came into his ears.
"Eunuch Ma!" Ye Dingfeng saw clearly the person calling him, immediately looked around and found no one, so he approached.
"Eunuch Ma, why are you here in the outer palace!" Ye Dingfeng asked in a low voice. The Xuanxi Kingdom Palace is divided into an outer palace and an inner palace. Men in the inner palace are not allowed to enter. Even Ye Dingfeng, the head guard, cannot enter without the emperor's permission. Likewise, eunuchs generally
Nor will he come to the outer palace.
"Mr. Ye, there is nothing I can do. Your Majesty is in danger!" Eunuch Ma said anxiously.
"What do you mean?" Ye Dingfeng asked.
"Does Mr. Ye still not know that Concubine Jin will soon be established as the queen? How can Concubine Xian have a good life by then? Moreover, if Mr. Ye does not consider Concubine Xian, he must also consider his son!"
Eunuch Ma has a profound meaning.
"Eunuch Ma, what do you mean?" Ye Dingfeng narrowed his eyes and stared at him and asked.
Eunuch Ma sighed and said: "Mr. Ye, do you think that without me, no one would know about you and your mother-in-law? The child that Mr. Ye gave birth to is yours. After the mother-in-law was born, she had someone test it.
.”
"What?" Ye Dingfeng was stunned when he heard this. The news was too shocking for him.
