"Even if it doesn't work, it will work! He is the He family's only hope, and he must fight for that position no matter what! Even if he doesn't have the talent to govern, we, father and daughter, can help him manage the country!"

Prime Minister He grasped his daughter's shoulders with both hands, a hint of ferocity flashed across his serious and old face.

"Mengjun, His Highness the Fifth Prince must not lose! You must do your best to train him well. Even if you cannot teach him military skills, you must at least be obedient! There are only two outcomes in the battle to win the inheritance. If you succeed, you will be rich and prosperous.

, hold the world in your hands, if you fail, you will be shattered into pieces, and the He family will be destroyed!"

So what if the fifth prince is a naughty idiot? He Zhengqing can use the name of his daughter to listen to politics behind the curtain!

By then, the dynasty will be under control. Who else who is not afraid of death will dare to challenge his authority?

The He family must win! His bloodline must ascend to the supreme position!

Concubine He also clearly understood the seriousness of the situation. She clenched her fists and promised: "Dad, don't worry! I will do it. My son will definitely succeed in ascending the throne. Dazhou belongs to our He family!"

After regaining her composure, her mind began to work, and she lowered her eyes to analyze the current situation.

The emperor's recent behavior flashed through her mind, and she asked with a hint of worry: "The emperor often hangs around the harem recently, will there be another prince born in the future? I can still deal with one or two quietly, but it's dangerous to do too many things.

It’s easy to arouse suspicion.”

Emperor Yuanfeng has been very crazy recently. He is not only lazy in politics but also dissolute and immoral. He favors different concubines every night. It is said that his methods are very cruel.

Concubine Liu, presented by Prime Minister He, was the first to be tortured to death. After that, many concubines and maids of lower status were also murdered. The concubines of noble birth were able to survive, but the emperor's insidious nature

Qing's unstable temper also makes people frightened.

It's no shame if those cheap maids die, so what's there to be afraid of if their lives are gone?

But this is not necessarily the case for a high-status concubine. If she is pregnant, she will definitely protect her carefully. Even if she wants to eradicate it, she may not be able to succeed.

There was a hint of hesitation on Concubine He's face, wondering whether she should find a way to win the favor, but when she saw the emperor's aging and decadent appearance, she felt disgusted and couldn't bear to sleep with him.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister He sneered twice, and calmly reassured his daughter: "Don't worry, the old emperor will never have any more children in the future! The Immortality Pill has destroyed his body, and the erysipelas will corrode his mind and organs.

, let alone having children, it will become more and more difficult to stay awake."

There were only five princes under Emperor Yuanfeng's knees. The eldest prince, Prince Xu, died of manslaughter in the paddock. The second prince, Prince Xuan, was deposed for killing his brother. The third prince, Prince Heng, was seriously injured and disabled during the autumn hunt. The only remaining princes were the fourth prince, Prince Cheng and the fifth prince.

King Chun.

The fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhao Xian, was not favored, and her maternal grandfather, Zhao Kaian, was only a censor of the Supervisory Council. Her power and influence were very weak, and she had never had any intention of competing for the throne.

The fifth prince is the daughter of Concubine He. Although he is still young and relatively playful, but with the support of the powerful Zuo Prime Minister's Palace and the ruthless and scheming Concubine He, he has a greater advantage than other princes in seizing the direct heir.

This is also the confidence of the He family. They believe that no one can compete with them for the position of crown prince. It is inevitable that the fifth prince will ascend the throne. What they need to plan now is how to get the emperor to issue an edict to establish the crown prince.

"Speaking of which, the second and third princes also have sons. If Bin'er becomes emperor, he will have to find a way to eradicate the root cause!"

Concubine He's eyes flashed with cruelty, and she turned to discuss the follow-up plan with her father.

Although it is unlikely that Emperor Yuanfeng will pass the throne to his grandson, they must be prepared to deal with it in advance. It is best to eliminate the bloodline of the two princes as early as possible to avoid other accidents or changes caused by things getting out of control.

The He family father and daughter were planning together in the palace, and there were similar conversations in the clan mansion on the other side.

Empress Zheng opened up connections and secretly went to jail to visit her son, planning to discuss a counterattack plan with him.

The second prince has now become a cripple. He has lost his hearing and appearance and has no fertility. He will still have to face the emperor's punishment. He is as decadent as a walking corpse.

Empress Zheng looked at her son with a distressed face, and encouraged him to cheer up in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty, don't give up on yourself so quickly. We still hope to turn defeat into victory. You have to take care of your own health first. The Queen Mother is still waiting to see you.

He's wearing a robe, and he's trampling the He family's thieves under his feet!"

The second prince slumped on the straw bed without any fighting spirit, with a sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Mother, if I'm like this, can I still legitimately seize the throne? Is there any precedent in this world for a eunuch to be the emperor? When will my father issue an order to punish me? Should I be demoted to a commoner or be executed on another day? I want to kill him.

You can cut her into pieces as you please, I don’t want to live such a useless life anymore.”

Although the words he spoke were desperate, there was a faint hint of unwillingness in his empty eyes. What he had experienced in the past few days was like a nightmare, and he was already deep in hell before he could react.

Empress Zheng helped her son up and scolded her bitterly: "What are you talking about! If you die, can the queen live alone? We have been planning for many years to get here, how can we give up when we encounter some setbacks? I

You and your uncle have prepared everything for you. No matter how the emperor punishes you, there will be a way for you to escape safely. When the details of the He family are exposed, you will force the palace to rebel in the name of the Qing emperor. The throne of Dazhou can only belong to you.

No one has the right to worry about it!"

The second prince's eyes flashed with light, but then dimmed again.

"But I...I am like this now, and I still have children..."

Empress Zheng looked at his tightly bandaged right ear and blinked back the tears of distress.

"It's just an ear, what impact can it have? The king of a country uses his brain to rule the country, so what do you have to fear if you are both civil and military? Your princess has already given birth to two legitimate sons. Even if you have no heirs in the future, you don't have to worry.

What you seek in life is the glory of living, and there is no need to worry about things after death!"

These words greatly encouraged him, and the second prince regained his energy instantly.

"I will not let down the expectations of my mother and uncle. Please tell me what plans you have in the future."

Empress Zheng patted her son on the shoulder happily and praised appreciatively: "This is my good son! It's a blessing in disguise. You will achieve your wish soon. Don't lose your confidence. Queen Mother and Uncle

I will support you behind my back!"

The mother and son conspired quietly in the cold prison, and each action plan was constantly revised and optimized.
