Ding An and a piece of paper resolved today's major issue of Wei Xuanyuan's attempt to ascend the throne. However, he lingered behind after going to court. After all the courtiers left, he walked into the East Palace and went to Yuling Palace.
.
The East Palace is now a cold palace, and Ding Anhe and Prime Minister Zhou are close, so his visit to the East Palace will not attract anyone's attention.
But today, there was a guard following him far behind him, and this guard was a subordinate of Phantom. When he saw Ding Anhe turning into the East Palace, he hurriedly went to report to Phantom.
The Phantom was about to leave the palace, and after receiving the news, he sneaked into the East Palace quietly.
In the Yuling Palace of the East Palace, Ding Xiaolian and Hongluan were playing with a few-month-old female doll, when Grandma Lei came in to report.
"Master, Master Ding is outside asking for an audience."
Ding Xiaolian stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
"My father is here? Why don't you let him in quickly?'
"Yes, old slave, please come in now." Aunt Lei said, heading to the entrance of the courtyard, and quickly led Ding An and strode in.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Ding Xiaolian looked at Ding Anhe questioningly.
"Well, something happened." Ding Anhe walked in a hurry, panting slightly, walked to the courtyard, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, without knowing what he meant, "hurry up and send someone to fetch him, hurry up."
"Yes, dad." Ding Xiaolian responded hurriedly, and then sent a confidant to the Yunde Palace where Prince Wei Yuande lived.
Not long after, two chamberlains entered the Yuling Palace carrying several exquisite snacks. One of these two chamberlains was Wei Yuande and the other was Zhuiyun.
After entering the palace, Wei Yuande straightened his slightly bowed body, raised his chin, and restored the majesty and momentum that a prince should have.
"Zhui Yun, go guard outside." He ordered Zhui Yun as he walked to the table and sat down.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhuiyun retreated to the entrance of the palace and stood guard.
Nowadays, everyone in the Yuling Palace is Wei Yuande's confidant, but for the sake of caution, he still has to send Zhuiyun to guard outside, and call all the people in the palace out, so that he can speak with confidence.
Ding Anhe walked up to the prince and greeted him respectfully. "I have met His Highness the prince."
"Master Ding, there is no need to be polite, please sit down." Wei Yuande sent someone to bring a chair for Ding Anhe, gave him a seat, poured tea for him, and then called everyone in the hall out.
"How's it going? Is everything going well in the court today?" Wei Yuande asked impatiently.
"Smooth, very smooth." Ding Anhe said with a smile on his face, "The Empress Dowager is such a smart person, but she just told a "ghost story" and managed everything without leakage."
"Really? What kind of ghost story is this?" Wei Yuande asked curiously, and Ding Anhe told Wei Yuande everything that happened in the court today.
After hearing this, Wei Yuande's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes full of pride.
When Zhou Qian paralyzed him that day, he told him a lot of his 'master's' secrets, including his master's true identity.
The identity of Zhou Qian's master was naturally not the witch boy. When Wei Yuande told Ding Anhe, he said that Zhou Qian's master was the witch boy who died twenty-five years ago!
Yes, he not only wanted to tell Ding Anhe this way, but also told every courtier in the court and all the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom!
In this way, let’s see how the fake Prime Minister Zhou helped his master become the emperor. Is it possible that he would become an enemy of all the people in the world? Haha~~ Want to sit on his throne? Don’t even think about it!
Seeing the satisfied look on Prince Wei Yuande's face, Ding Anhe was in a great mood, as if glory and wealth were at his fingertips.
"What do you think Master Ding will do next?" Wei Yuande squinted his smiling eyes and looked at Ding Anhe.
Ding Anhe smiled broadly, "Of course I will continue to cooperate with the Empress Dowager~~ No, she is not the Empress Dowager, she should change her name to Queen Empress~
Wei Yuande naturally understood what it meant when he heard the phrase "Queen's Empress", but he was also a little surprised.
Wasn't the position of Queen granted to Ding Xiaolian? Why did she suddenly call the "Empress Dowager" the Queen Empress?
At this time, Ding Anhe secretly winked at Wei Yuande and made a small gesture, pointing out the window, which meant that someone was eavesdropping.
When he went down to the East Palace today, he noticed someone following him, and he immediately understood that it must be Xia Luolo's people.
Xia Luoluo is such a smart person. Since he believed what he said in the note and helped him prevent Wei Xuanyuan from ascending the throne, he will definitely want to know who is behind him.
And Ding Anhe had no intention of hiding Xia Luoluo, so he came to Yuling Palace quietly, said these words calmly, and called out "Queen's Empress".
Wei Yuande soon understood and hurriedly answered, "Master Ding is right. As soon as I ascend the throne, won't the Empress Dowager have to be called 'Queen Empress' instead?"
After speaking, he said with a hint of sadness: "Although Prime Minister Zhou said that the new emperor is not my own flesh and blood, after all, it was Luo Luo who gave birth to him. Otherwise, let him sit on the throne~~~
"No, Your Highness." Ding Anhe looked anxious, "It is impossible for the new emperor to sit firmly in that position. If the empress dowager hadn't taken a preemptive strike today, Zhou Qian would have exposed the new emperor's true identity."
"If they don't succeed today, there's no guarantee that they won't be exposed tomorrow and in the future."
"I feel that the Queen Mother is so smart, she will definitely know how to protect her reputation and the life of the new emperor~~"
Inside, Ding Anhe and Wei Yuande were acting out each other's words. After hearing this, the phantom outside felt that he understood almost everything, so he quietly retreated and returned to the Jade Phoenix Palace.
In the Jade Phoenix Palace, Xia Luoluo was looking at the infant new emperor and felt very uneasy.
If it hadn't been for getting the note from Ding Anhe today, Wei Xuanyuan would have exposed the new emperor's true identity in the court and killed both her and the new emperor.
But if you can hide today, you can't hide tomorrow. Since Wei Xuanyuan has his mind set on becoming the emperor, he must not tolerate her.
She must find herself an ally, and Ding An and the master behind him are her targets.
But who could this person be? Charlotte thought about it and couldn't figure it out.
Just when my mind was full of confusion, the phantom came in.
"Your Highness, Lord Ding is in the East Palace at the moment. If you want to see him, it's a good time."
"Ding Anhe went to the East Palace? Yuling Palace?" Xia Luoluo was not too surprised. After all, Ding Anhe's daughter was in the East Palace. It was not surprising that he went there to visit her daughter.
Then the phantom answered.
"Yes, he went to Yuling Palace, and there was another person who went there at the same time."
"Who?" Charlotte lowered her voice, seeming to have some speculation in her heart.
"Prince Wei Yuande." Phantom replied, "He can speak well and behave well, and his body has returned to normal.
"Wei Yuande, he actually returned to normal?" Xia Luoluo's face was full of shock, and at the same time, there was a hint of realization in his eyes.
Who else but Prince Wei Yuande could make Ding Anhe betray Prime Minister Zhou?
After all, Ding Anhe's daughter is the prince's woman. Once the prince ascends the throne, won't Ding Anhe and Ding Xiaolian's glory and wealth come? Maybe even the position of queen has been promised to Ding Xiaolian.
Just as he was thinking this, Phantom spoke.
"My subordinates sneaked into the Yuling Palace and eavesdropped on their conversation. Seeing that the prince wanted to exchange the 'position of queen' for the 'throne'."
Although Phantom's words are concise, they are enough to express concisely the meaning of the conversation between Ding Anhe and Wei Yuande.
"Really?" Xia Luoluo had a hint of doubt. Ding Anhe spent so much time helping the prince ascend to the throne, why would he not slander the successor? Impossible!
Phantom seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said from the side:
"I feel that Her Royal Highness has no other good solution besides cooperating with Crown Prince Wei Yuande."
Xia Luoluo frowned slightly, held the silk handkerchief and stood up, pacing slowly.
"Cooperate with Wei Yuande to let the new emperor abdicate and Wei Yuande ascend the throne, and I will become the queen~~"
"But Wei Yuande doesn't have a single soldier in his hands, how can he secure the throne? Zhu Xiangyu belongs to Wei Xuanyuan."
"Is there any other Ding who can leave? For example~~ Bow to Wei Xuanyuan? Take refuge in Wei Xuanyuan?,
When Charlotte said this, her questioning eyes turned to Phantom.
Phantom thought for a while and asked Xia Luoluo, "Your Highness, are you sure that Zhu Xiangyu is Wei Xuanyuan's man?"
Xia Luoluo nodded affirmatively, "Yes, others don't know this but I know this. Zhu Xiangyu is definitely Wei Xuanyuan's man.
Phantom was silent for a moment and looked up at Charlotte.
"When I went to court this morning outside the Jinluan Hall, my subordinates saw Prime Minister Zhou "holding a good news report in his hand saying that General Zhu Da had won a great victory. Later, when he went to court, there was no news. I don't know what the situation was.'
Xia Luoluo didn't know about this, and after hearing this, he wondered, "Is it possible that Zhu Xiangyu was defeated?"
Phantom nodded, "I think it's possible."
He added silently.
"If Zhu Xiangyu loses, what will happen to Wei Xuanyuan? Your Highness, it would be better for you to choose Prince Wei Yuande.'
"Wei Yuande is the legitimate Emperor of Zhou after all. If he is willing to bow his head to the Night King and admit his mistakes, the Night King may have no reason to push him down.'
"If Zhu Xiangyu really wins, then he will surrender and surrender to Wei Xuanyuan. At least the princess has the love poison in her body, so it is impossible for him to kill you."
After listening to Phantom's analysis, Charlotte nodded helplessly.
"That's all we can do. Let's wait for the news about Zhu Xiangyu's battle with the Night King." She said this with no expression on her face, but there was a sigh in her heart.
I never thought that one day the Night King would take all the initiative in the Zhou Kingdom, and now most of the world is in his hands!
I still remember that when she was the Night King's fiancée, the Night King once took out a deed for her to sign.
She still remembers the contents of the deed. He, the Night King Wei Chenyi, is willing to marry Xia Luoluo, the eldest princess of Qi, but he will only be a couple in name only, a couple in name only!
If she had not been so angry and torn up the contract, but had chosen to marry the Night King~~and then moved him with patience and love~~then would she be the one who is by the Night King's side and deeply in love with him now?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and different choices will lead to different results.
