At the same time.
On the streets of Jinling.
Zhu Yunwen sat in the carriage with an ashen face.
She thought carefully about what Su Qiao had said to her.
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's faces appeared in Zhu Yunwen's mind.
Su Qiao sat in front of Zhu Yunwen and whispered,
"Your Highness, please think carefully."
"What do you mean by ruling by bowing down?"
"If the Son of Heaven were to bow down, who would be in power?”
Who else could it be?
Naturally, it was Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and the scholar-bureaucrats of Great Ming!
Su Qiao looked at Zhu Yunwen with interest.
"To govern by bowing down is to let His Highness give power to the scholar-officials.”
"If there is nothing in the world, it is to prevent the Imperial Court from doing things casually!”
"Because there is only so much food in this world!”
"The more the Imperial Court eats, the less the scholar-officials eat!”
"To rule by bowing down is to let His Highness give up power!”
"There is nothing wrong in the world but to let His Highness give in!”
Zhu Yunwen's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Impossible, Mr. Huang is not that kind of person!”
Su Qiao stared at Zhu Yunwen and asked softly,
"Then did Your Highness know about the beggars in the City God Temple?”
"I don't know, but what does that mean? It just means that Yun Wenwen has been in the palace for a long time!”
Su Qiao shook his head helplessly.
"Then if Your Highness did not follow me out of the palace today.”
"If His Majesty passed away, do you think these porridge stalls would still exist?”
Zhu Yunwen was at a loss for words for a moment, then said firmly,
"It won't be gone now! As long as Yun Wen was still breathing, these porridge stalls in the City God Temple would definitely be there!”
Su Qiao snorted coldly.
"The porridge stall in Jinling City God Temple will always be there, but what about the porridge stalls in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Sichuan?”
"The porridge stall that Your Highness has seen will always be there, but what about the things that Your Highness has not seen?”
Su Qiao's words were like a curse that lingered in Zhu Yunwen's heart.
All along.
Zhu Yunwen regarded Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai as his right-hand men.
But Zhu Yunwen never thought about it.
If Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were just using him…
What should he do?
In a trance, a voice seemed to appear in Zhu Yunwen's heart.
Perhaps Su Qiao was right?
Perhaps he really couldn't be the emperor?
……
……
In the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Princess Lu looked at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai worriedly and asked,
"Gentlemen, will Yunwen be alright?”
Huang Zicheng shook his head slightly and whispered,
"Don't worry, Your Highness Taisun has people protecting him. The Embroidered Uniform Guards also have spies following him. There won't be any accidents.”
"Besides, as long as we can subdue Su Qiao, His Highness's position as the Crown Prince will be secured.”
"This little risk is nothing compared to His Highness's position as the Crown Prince.”
Corey said.
Only then did Madam Lu's anxious heart relax a little.
"Yes, the position of Crown Prince…the position of Crown Prince…"
Thinking of this, Madam Lu hurriedly bowed to Huang Zicheng and said,
"Mister Huang, if Yun Wen is lucky enough to inherit the throne, we mother and son will definitely not forget Mister's contribution in the future!”
Huang Zicheng said with a smile,
"What are you saying, Empress? If you can stabilize the foundation of my Great Ming Country, so what if this official is beaten up?”
"It's fine to beat him up another ten times!"
At this moment.
The neighing of horses suddenly came from the Eastern Palace.
Lady Lu, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai's eyes lit up.
"Empress, His Highness has returned!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Su Qiao and Zhu Yunwen quietly get off the carriage.
Su Qiao didn't walk into the Hall of Ciqing. He stood at the palace gate and smiled at Zhu Yunwen.
"In that case, I will take my leave.”
Zhu Yunwen bowed numbly.
"Goodbye, Mr. Su."
Corey's nose was almost popping out when he saw this scene!
"Your Highness, it looks like His Highness has already subdued Su Qiao!”
Qi Tai also echoed from the side,
"It's not easy. This Su Qiao kid is not even so polite in front of His Majesty!”
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai described it.
The Lu family had long regarded recovering Su Qiao as the only way for Zhu Yunwen to succeed the throne.
Now, seeing Su Qiao and Zhu Yunwen like this…
Lady Lu was naturally overjoyed.
But he still reminded her with a smile.
"Gentlemen, from today onwards, Mister Su will be the same as the two of you, Yun Wen's right-hand man. Don't be so reckless and make things difficult for Yun Wen.”
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai immediately realized that they had misspoken.
He hurriedly smiled and said,
"Empress, please forgive us, we have misspoken!”
Under the gazes of Huang Zicheng and the other two.
Zhu Yunwen walked into Ciqing Hall thoughtfully.
As soon as they entered the hall, Madam Lu brought two palace maids over with a cup of tea.
He looked at Zhu Yunwen and smiled,
"Yun Wen must have spent a lot of effort to subdue Su Qiao. Have some tea first to moisten your throat!”
Huang Zicheng walked up and looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Your Heaven Rank has been decided!”
Qi Tai looked at Huang Zicheng and said," Mr. Huang, don't be anxious. Let His Highness tell us what happened. How did His Highness convince Su Qiao? It'll be an eye-opener for us!"”
"Yes, Your Highness, tell us about it!”
Zhu Yunwen helplessly cupped his hands and said,
"Gentlemen, this is not a difficult matter.”
When Madam Lu heard Zhu Yunwen's words, her eyes couldn't help but curve into crescents as she said with a smile,
"Yun Wen has learned to be humble, it's good to be humble!”
Zhu Yunwen said helplessly.
"Mother, it's really nothing. Yun Wen only said one sentence.”
Huang Zicheng immediately clicked his tongue and said,
"In ancient times, there was Zhang Yide who broke the Dangyang Bridge. Now, there is His Highness Taisun who can settle the world with a single word.”
"I wonder what Your Highness is talking about…?”
Zhu Yunwen smiled helplessly.
"It's nothing, it's just that Yun Wen said that she doesn't want to be the Crown Prince anymore.”
In an instant.
The entire Eastern Palace fell into a dead silence.
