"I am Gao Qiu. Greetings, Your Highness."
"Have a seat."
In the front hall of Yun Prince's residence, other than the pale faced eunuch Zhou Jin.
Only Zhao Kai and Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu knew that the white-faced eunuch was Zhao Kai's trusted aide.
"Commandant Gao, it's been hard on you to call you here so late," Zhao Kai said calmly.”
"It's not hard. It's my honor to be summoned by your highness.”
Gao Qiu bowed half his body, his attitude respectful.
"Grand Commandant Gao, I called you here to ask you, who do you think father will pass the throne to in the future?"”
Gao Qiu's heart skipped a beat as cold sweat dripped down his back.
"This is a matter of the royal family," he said with an apologetic smile,"how could I know what the officials are thinking?"”
"The matters of the royal family are also matters of the world. This king doesn't believe that you haven't thought about it before.”
Gao Qiu complained incessantly.
Was Yun Wang crazy? Why would she discuss this with him?
Was the change of emperor something he could casually discuss?
He was also an internal official of Yun wang fu, why would he ask him?
He lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhao Kai smiled. This cunning old thing.
He said unhurriedly, as if he was chatting about a family matter,"The reason why I called you over for questioning is because you are an old man by my father's side and are the best at analyzing the emperor's will. I think you should understand my father's thoughts.”
Gao Qiu gritted his teeth and whispered," Your Highness, I don't think I've offended you. I've also given up the Palace Marshal's Residence. The Imperial Family's matters have nothing to do with me. Why must you drag me down with you?"”
"Nothing to do with you?"
Zhao Kai laughed." Grand Commandant, you're wrong. I understand what you're thinking. You're one of my father's men, so you're not standing between me and the Crown Prince. You're trying to avoid helping each other, right?"”
Gao Qiu thought to himself,'Why are you still asking even though you understand?'
At this moment, Zhao Kai laughed coldly." Gao Qiu, don't blame me for my harsh words. You are different from the other hubby in the Imperial Court. You relied on Imperial Father's favor to ascend to the throne. In other words, the other hubby are subjects, but you, Gao Qiu, are a servant of the Zhao Family. Am I right?”
Gao Qiu's heart sank. He felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
Even if his heart was in turmoil.
Gao Qiu did not show it on his face. He remained calm and humble.
He smiled apologetically." Your Highness is right. Gao Qiu is indeed a servant of the Emperor. It is my fortune to be able to serve the Emperor."”
Zhao Kai smiled.
Gao Qiu said that he was a servant of the Guan family and not a servant of the Zhao family.
"Commandant Gao, you are very smart, but not that smart.”
Zhao Kai shook his head and said," You're an old man by my father's side. You know my father's character better than anyone else. The Crown Prince is timid and stupid, and my father doesn't like him at all. What do you think he meant by giving me the title of Grand Marshal of the world's military forces and the title of Commander-in-Chief?"”
Zhao Kai stood up abruptly and approached Gao Qiu.
Staring into his eyes, he said," All the soldiers and horses in the world are in my hands. The Imperial City Department is in charge of the world. Do you think the Crown Prince still has a chance to turn the tables?"”
Gao Qiu's entire body trembled as sweat poured down like rain.
Why was Yun Wang telling him this?
Why did Yun Wang tell him all this, it was so bad!
"Gao Qiu, you don't have the qualifications to remain neutral. Either you choose the Crown Prince, or you choose this king.”
"Your Highness, why are you forcing me?" Gao Qiu raised his head, his eyes red.”
"Forcing you?" Zhao Kai smiled faintly. No, I'm saving you."
"Otherwise, no matter who ascends to the throne, they will kill you first. It is better to get rid of disobedient servants.”
"Do you think that the Crown Prince is timid and cowardly? The aides around him are not good people.”
Gao Qiu suddenly came to a realization.
Tonight, he had to take sides. Yun Wang was probably going to make a big move.
If he didn't choose him, he might not be able to walk out of Yun Wang Mansion tonight.
Moreover, with Yun King's ruthlessness, even ten Crown Princes were not his match.
The government was magnanimous and refined. How could it give birth to such a wolf cub?
Official, you've misjudged me!
He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Zhao Kai."This servant Gao Qiu is willing to die for Your Highness.”
"Good servant!"
" Haha!" Zhao Kai laughed and patted Gao Qiu's head.
This seemingly insulting action calmed his heart.
His life was saved.
"Bestow tea!"
Zhou Jin brought a cup of tea over. Gao Qiu knelt on the ground and downed it in one gulp.
Only then did Zhao Kai help him up from the ground.
"Grand Commandant Gao, we're family now.”
"Don't blame me for being ruthless. There's a saying that only the last person who laughs is the winner. You will definitely be proud of your decision today.”
Gao Qiu had thought it through.
Looking at Yun Wang's current imposing manner, the throne would basically be his in the future.
How could those idiots naively think that a Grand Marshal of the world could satisfy Yun King?
"Grand Commandant Gao, is your son still in the manor?" Zhao Kai suddenly asked.”
Gao Qiu sighed." My son has no manners. He was beaten up by me and is still bedridden."”
As expected, there was no need to feel sorry for someone who was not his biological child.
"Grand Commandant Gao, if I'm not mistaken, Young Master Gao isn't your biological son, is he?" Zhao Kai laughed.”
Gao Qiu nodded." This is no secret. This old servant has no son. He was adopted from my eldest brother's house. I want to rely on him to inherit the family line."”
"Are you pointing at the Gao family to inherit the family line?"
Zhao Kai shook his head." Let's assume that if you suddenly lose your position and power, and all the family property in the residence is confiscated, do you think Gao Yamen will continue to support you?"”
Gao Qiu's heart sank.
"If that really happens, this unfilial son will definitely run away faster than anyone else. After all, he's not his biological son.”
