Rapid footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Eighteenth lady..."

Accompanied by the maid's shout, Chen Shiba Niang had already opened the door.

Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Shao, who were sitting talking to each other in the room, looked over.

"Eighteenth lady..." The servants followed, trying to pull her out with a bit of sarcasm.

Old Mrs. Chen waved his hand to the servant woman.

"Why are you here?" he asked, smiling at Chen Shiba Niang and greeting her, "Come, sit down."

The servants stepped back and closed the door.

"Father." Chen Shiba Niang sat down and looked at Chen Shao without caring about saluting, and said anxiously, "Why don't you recommend Prince Qing as the crown prince again?"

Chen Shao frowned slightly.

"I didn't say that," he said.

"Father, it has spread all over the world." Chen Shiba Niang said, "You met with Zhang Jiangzhou and you did not refute him."

"My father has no reason to refute him," Chen Shao said.

Zhang Jiangzhou was a man of great eloquence and erudition, and there were not many people who could compete with him in terms of argumentation alone.

Chen Shiba Niang sat up suddenly.

"Then you still agree with him? Are you going to recommend the clan?" she said anxiously, "Father, how could you do this!"

Old Mrs. Chen frowned and interrupted her.

"Eighteen Mother, how can you talk to your father like this? Is this filial piety?" he said.

"Is what my father did this an act of loyalty and filial piety to your Majesty?" Chen Shiba Niang pursed her lips and said.

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.

"Your Majesty has his own children, and these people actually want to abandon His Majesty's own children and adopt the clan. I think if Your Majesty is still sober, they would not dare to say or do this." Chen Shiba Niang said with an excited expression, "The reason why they dare is

Bullying Your Majesty for being too ill to speak, father, my father has always taken His Majesty's kindness to heart and devoted himself to living up to His Majesty's burden, so is this how my father repays His Majesty now? Is this his father's way of loyalty and filial piety?"

Old Mrs. Chen sighed.

"Eighteen Mother, if the fate of the country is not guaranteed and the government is in chaos, this will be disloyal and unfilial to His Majesty," he said.

"Grandpa!" Chen Shiba Niang shouted, "So is my father just going with the flow because he is afraid of being known as a corrupt official?"

"If a father was afraid of notoriety, he would not have elected Prince Qing as the crown prince in the first place!" Chen Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you elect Prince Qing as the crown prince, threaten the Queen Mother not to interfere in politics, and choose your own ministers to assist the government, your father will be looked upon by the world.

Why, don’t you know?”

Seeing her father's angry and sad expression, Chen Shiba Niang could no longer hold back her tears.

"But why did my father change again?" she cried. "The sage said that self-reliance will lead to shrinking. Even though tens of thousands of people have passed away, can my father still not be able to do it?"

Looking at his crying daughter, Chen Shao's expression softened again.

"Eighteen Mother, this matter is not that simple." Chen Shao said, "You don't know."

You don't understand this sentence and let Chen Shiba sit up straight again.

"Father, I don't know? I don't know. I only know that Prince Qing is your Majesty's biological son and your only bloodline. How will Prince Qing deal with these people when they establish a new emperor?" She said with tears.

"Eighteenth Mother, Prince Qing is not suitable." Chen Shao sighed and said.

Chen Shiba Niang looked at her father and smiled.

"Not suitable?" she said, "So my father believed her words and wants to choose a Mr. Right?"

Chen Shao frowned.

"Who is she?" he asked.

"She just said that the prince was in danger, so the prince was in danger. She said that the destined emperor had someone else, so the queen proposed to adopt him," said Chen Shiba Niang.

"Eighteen Mother!" Old Mrs. Chen raised his eyebrows and yelled, "Do you actually believe what the stupid people say? Have you ever heard what she said with your own ears? How dare you say what she said if you can't see or hear.

Character!"

Are there still few people who believe it?

Are there few people who believe in her?

She didn't say?

"As long as you practice more, can you be as good as my wife?"

"No, sometimes it's talent."

Can't! Can't! Can't!

Sometimes it’s destiny! It’s destiny!

It should be King Qing, it should be King Qing. This is obviously an indisputable fact!

Taibai appears, and the prince is in danger.

Hard work is useless, because it is not destiny, so it is struck to death by lightning.

It is useless to be a direct relative by blood, because it is not destiny, so he cannot be the prince.

"I don't believe it." Chen Shiba Niang stood up suddenly, "I don't believe that my father really wanted to do this and said that Emperor Sima was trying to bring chaos to the government. Is it because of this that everyone dared not raise Prince Qing to be the crown prince?

Are we afraid of destiny, or are we afraid that we will not be able to govern for the Qingming Dynasty? We are shrinking from ourselves. Although tens of thousands of people have gone there, it turns out that everyone is just talking about the words of the sage, and no one dares to follow the words of the sage.

!”

After saying that, she turned around, opened the door and walked away quickly.

"Eighteen Niang!" Chen Shao shouted.

Old Mrs. Chen raised his hand to stop.

"No need to shout." He said, "The summer insect cannot talk to the ice one, just let her be."

Chen Shiba Niang's carriage drove out of Chen's house. The maid outside the carriage lowered her head and kept silent and did not dare to speak. She followed beside the carriage and heard the sobs inside the carriage gradually subsided.

The Chen family and Chen Shiba Niang's husband's family are not too far apart. In order to facilitate the care of the young couple, Mrs. Chen specially chose a nearby mansion for them.

Just as he was about to turn into the alley, Chen Shiba Niang's voice came from inside the car.

"Don't go back yet, go to Prince Ping's Mansion."

Prince Ping's Mansion?

The servants were slightly surprised.

"Father, it's her!"

Gao Xiaoguanren shouted and stopped pacing.

"The Queen is trapped in the Emperor's Palace by the Queen Mother. She has never seen anyone but her!"

He walked quickly to Gao Lingbo.

"Father, they have colluded long ago! The Queen, Cheng, and Prince Jin'an have colluded from the beginning! All of this has been a conspiracy since Taibai Jingtian!"

"Father, they are treason! Father, the queen is treason!"

"Don't say stupid things." Gao Lingbo interrupted him.

"How can this be stupid?" Gao Xiaoguan asked anxiously, "They want to support the king of Jin'an County!"

Gao Lingbo laughed.

"So this is stupid talk." He laughed, "If they say they support independence, can they support it?"

At this time, he could still laugh, and the official Gao Xiaoguan became even more anxious.

"Father, the comments outside are not good for Prince Qing now," he said.

"Remarks?" Gao Lingbo said, "King Pu'an Yi professed his marriage and used the tomb as a garden, that is, a temple was built in the garden. All the officials who remonstrated with him asked for demotion. Not only the officials, but also Wang Lie and Cai Kang, the former staff of Yingzong Qiandi, opposed the marriage proposal.

The world is clamoring, but what will be the result?"

At this he smiled mockingly.

"In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. They can only take it if the emperor gives it to them. If the emperor doesn't give it to them, will the ministers want to rob it?"

"The big deal is, it's just a delay of eighteen months. Are we afraid of the delay?"

Having said this, Gao Lingbo stood up.

"I'm going for a walk."

Some of the confused senior officials hurriedly followed.

"My son will accompany you."

Gao Lingbo shook his head and raised his hand to stop him.
