Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Concubine Mei Huang was right. Empress Zhang was indeed a little anxious. As Concubine Mei Huang said, the emperor had never been close to her and had always stayed with Concubine Mei Huang. In this way, once something happened to the emperor, she would not be able to do it again. He grasped the situation for a while, but when the time came, Concubine Meihuang, who had grasped the situation first-hand, took the initiative. If she was passive, she would be in trouble.

But now that the emperor is still good, she can't forbid him from going to the Imperial Concubine Mei's house every day, right? So even if she was anxious, she could only act in a hurry.

Empress Zhang also didn't understand why the emperor liked Concubine Mei Huang so much that he didn't even care about his legitimate son, and he still didn't make his legitimate son the crown prince. Although he didn't make Concubine Mei Huang's son the crown prince, when the time comes, the emperor will be the crown prince in Mei Huang Concubine. In the hands of a noble concubine, even if she does not make her son the prince, it is equivalent to making her a prince.

Empress Zhang thought, neither she nor her son had done anything sorry to him, so how could the emperor treat her like this?

But she didn't know what the emperor was thinking.

The emperor always felt that his health might still get better. In this case, if he made the queen's son the prince, wouldn't it be worse if he got better?

Even if it doesn't work out, what's wrong with staying at Concubine Meihuang's place? Naturally, he wanted to give his family fortune to the son of his favorite woman. Although Queen Zhang and her son did not do anything to feel sorry for him, he did not like them, so why should he stay with them and increase their bargaining chips? ?

Don't tell him anything about setting up a virtuous and successful son. In his opinion, his sons are pretty good - although the son of Concubine Meihuang is still young, he likes it and thinks it's pretty good, isn't it? What a fool - no matter who takes the throne, even if he is not a wise emperor, there should be no problem in maintaining success and the country will not be ruined. In this case, it will be fine no matter who becomes the next emperor. He naturally wants the woman he likes the most. The son became emperor.

If other sons are too bad and only the queen's son is good, then he will consider the queen's son for the sake of the country.

But now it's obvious that the other sons are okay, so why did he insist on making the queen's son the prince?

In the final analysis, it was mainly because the emperor was the licking dog of Imperial Concubine Mei, and he only wanted her son to succeed to the throne.

In this life, because of An Ran's intervention, the queen did not die, and the emperor could not depose the queen, so he made Princess Mei the queen, and then naturally made her son the prince. As a result, the current situation without a prince emerged: the emperor did not want to establish a queen. Queen Zhang's son was the prince, but the queen was still there. Concubine Mei Huang was not a queen, and she could not make her son a prince. In the end, there was no prince, which made the whole court very sad.

Because the future development of the situation is unpredictable, the atmosphere in Beijing has been very strange recently, and various ministers often meet secretly behind the Yamen to plot some things.

Some people also came to see King Qi.

Because the Queen Mother is still there, the Emperor takes good care of this young brother for the sake of the Queen Mother, so the King of Qi can be regarded as a person who can talk to the Emperor, so some people want to take the path of the King of Qi and let the King of Qi Say a few words in front of the emperor so that the emperor can establish the crown prince as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although King Qi was a confused person, he still understood this truth. No matter who came to him to talk about this matter, King Qi rejected him.

"The clan of this dynasty cannot interfere in court affairs, so you can just handle this matter. I will not interfere."

As long as he doesn't interfere, no matter who becomes the emperor, he will be the king of Qi. But once he interferes, it will be successful and there may be supreme glory. Once it fails, there will be trouble.

So although he had a good relationship with the eldest prince, King Qi still didn't intend to get involved in these matters.

Maybe the eldest prince will complain about him for not helping for a period of time, but if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will feel that he is right to do so. After all, he can interfere with his affairs, and he will also be able to interfere with him in the future. Regarding his son's matter, the eldest prince doesn't want his uncle, King Qi, to interfere in court affairs like this in the future, right?

Therefore, although you won't get any credit if you don't end up doing it, at least you won't offend anyone.

In order to prevent someone from coming to him to talk about these things, King Qi simply closed the door and thanked guests.

In the past, it was impossible for King Qi not to go out at any time. Because of his outgoing and lively personality, it was impossible for him to stay at home. But now, King Qi still understands that his family and life are at stake, so even if he doesn't like it, He was bored at home and could sit still. Except for going into the palace every day to greet the Queen Mother, he basically didn't come out.

An Ran still agrees with King Qi's performance. After all, King Qi's abilities are limited. It is right for King Qi to correctly understand his own abilities and not to interfere with these things. Many people do not know that their abilities are not good and like to interfere blindly. , and finally the family was implicated.

Of course, the performance of King Qi is partly due to the Queen Mother - it was the Queen Mother who told him not to get involved in these things. Although King Qi is a little out of touch and not willing to be disciplined, he is still very filial and obedient to his mother, so After the Queen Mother warned him like this, King Qi listened. He went to see the Queen Mother every day and never came out again.

An Ran knew why the Queen Mother warned King Qi like this. On the one hand, it was because King Qi was incapable, and she did not want her youngest son to get involved in such a complicated matter, so as not to cause trouble; on the other hand, it was also because, except for the son of Imperial Concubine Mei Huang, the other princes, They are all her grandsons, and they all have a normal relationship with her. No one has a particularly good relationship with her, so she doesn't care who becomes the emperor. In this situation where it doesn't matter who doesn't need to stand, she naturally doesn't want her younger son to get involved. Things like this with Jin bring unnecessary risks, she just hopes that he can be safe.

But sometimes, even if you don't want to look for trouble, trouble will find you.

No, when An Ran and King Qi were greeting the Queen Mother that day, the emperor also came.

The emperor's health has been getting worse and worse recently. Because of his lack of energy, he rarely comes to the Queen Mother to pay her respects.

He felt better these past two days, so he came over to visit the Queen Mother once in a while.

The Queen Mother saw that his face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he was in extremely poor health. She couldn't help but shed tears and said, "You are not in good health, why did you come here? The Ai family only needs to know how you feel. The most important thing is for you to take care of yourself."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, I feel that my time is short, and I don't know when I will no longer be able to come and see my mother. I want to come and see my mother more before I leave."

When the Queen Mother heard what the emperor said, she couldn't help but spit out quickly and said: "Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about? You will get better!"

The emperor sighed and said: "I know how my body is, I'm just afraid..."

The emperor had not finished speaking, but the queen mother knew what he meant, which was that she was afraid that she would not be able to survive.
