Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 910: Chapter 910: The Throne Must Never Be Yielded to Them!

Imperial Palace of the Crown Prince.

Liang Youwen, an official of the Eastern Palace, looked worriedly at the young man standing at the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you need to come forward quickly and give an explanation for the rumors inside and outside the palace! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

This official can be considered loyal and dedicated in serving Qi Jingyu, but since he is on the side of Empress Dowager Li, Qi Jingyu now finds him somewhat annoying.

"Explain, how do you expect this palace to explain? Hmm?"

Qi Jingyu slowly turned around, and on his youthful face, there was now a firmness and sternness rarely seen. So when Li Qingmu entered and saw this expression, he was stunned for a while.

"Jingyu?"

"Imperial Uncle?"

Seeing that it was Li Qingmu who came, Qi Jingyu was very surprised and immediately restrained his sternness, showing a somewhat shy smile.

Beside him, Liang Youwen was shocked in his heart, the Crown Prince, whom even the Emperor and Empress Dowager Li couldn’t control, was so obedient and well-behaved in front of this Regent King?

Somehow, a term came to his mind: power minister!

Even though Li Qingmu was the Regent King, he was ultimately a Minister, yet the future Emperor, upon seeing him, became obedient and well-behaved, what does that signify?

Does it imply that in the future, will it not be him alone to decide everything?

Liang Youwen felt that if this continued to develop, it would be very bad and might even lead to disaster.

He was one of Empress Dowager Li’s people, and now, Qi Jingyu wasn’t the only candidate for the throne; there was another son born to a concubine.

Perhaps, he could?

Although the child was still young, what does it matter if he’s young?

He has a mother concubine, Empress Dowager Li, and these ministers...

Liang Youwen felt that there was room to maneuver in this affair.

These thoughts passed in an instant, and they were quickly curbed. Liang Youwen hurriedly saluted Li Qingmu: "Greetings to the Regent King!"

Li Qingmu glanced at Liang Youwen indifferently.

According to the information, this person was one of Empress Dowager Li’s henchmen. Although he was quite loyal to Qi Jingyu, his loyalty was based on Empress Dowager Li’s support.

But if Empress Dowager Li wanted to establish someone else...

"I have something to say to His Highness the Crown Prince, please excuse us, Mr. Liang."

Liang Youwen’s face twitched slightly.

The Regent King asked him to excuse them, could he say no? The man was a Prince, part of the Imperial Family, and also the Assistant Minister, an official rank that could crush him, not to mention it was several ranks higher.

"Then... I, as a humble servant, will take my leave!"

After Liang Youwen left, Qi Jingyu sighed with relief and looked gratefully at Li Qingmu: "Imperial Uncle, thank you, if it weren’t for you, I would definitely have caused trouble again today."

Everyone knows his temperament. If Li Qingmu had not arrived in time, he would have confronted Liang Youwen directly. As someone who’s an eagle claw of Empress Dowager Li, offending him would definitely lead to secret retaliation.

"Jingyu, do you want to be the Crown Prince?"

Li Qingmu didn’t acknowledge his thanks, only asking calmly.

Qi Jingyu was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled bitterly: "If because of this identity I can’t be with the person I like, then... I’d rather not have it!"

Li Qingmu was silent for a moment, then said: "But if you don’t want to be the Crown Prince, can you end well? Or be with the girl you like?"

Li Qingmu’s question was sharp, and Qi Jingyu was momentarily stunned.

He wasn’t a simple youth; as the future heir to the throne, many tricks and schemes had to be understood. Even if he didn’t master them, he had to understand and see through them. If he wasn’t going to be Emperor, should his brother take the throne?

But that brother was not born of the same mother as him but was born to a concubine.

That concubine’s relationship with his mother was not good. If he were really made Emperor, would he and his mother have good days?

Speaking of that, Qi Jingyu’s mother was of a gentle character, although she has some resilience, she couldn’t compare to Empress Dowager Li.

And his grandmother is definitely of the strong type.

In this way, the problem is obvious.

By that time, Empress Dowager Li alone would have the final say under the heavens.

The Little Emperor was young, his mother was a concubine, who could suppress her?

Thinking of this, Qi Jingyu revealed a pained expression.

"Imperial Uncle, they say the imperial family is heartless, is that true? Why does it have to come to relatives fighting for power?"

He understood his Imperial Grandmother too well.

That arranged marriage was said to stabilize his position as the Crown Prince, but in truth, it was to expand her influence.

Because that woman was a distant relative of Empress Dowager Li.

This is really a case of one person attaining a position of power, elevating all their connections, drawing everyone related to them into the Imperial Family and the power center.

Then, these people would surely gather around her as their center.

Hiss—

Thinking of this became unbearable.

What kind of development is this?

A desire to become Empress?

Qi Jingyu looked up at Li Qingmu: "Grandpa, doesn’t he care?"

"He doesn’t care. He didn’t even ask me to manage you."

"Why? This is his territory..." Upon speaking these words, Qi Jingyu got stuck. Previously it belonged to Qi Yun’s territory, but now it has been handed over to Qi Junlian, then how to manage it, it’s his business.

"Imperial Uncle, what is Grandpa really thinking?"

Li Qingmu shook his head: "I don’t know, Father’s thoughts are too profound and inscrutable, I can’t fathom them."

At this point, Li Qingmu was somewhat wistful, not knowing why, always feeling that Father was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Suddenly, Li Qingmu thought of a possibility that filled him with unease.

Could this be the possibility?

If so, how should he face it?

"Imperial Uncle, why has your face suddenly turned so unpleasant? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Li Qingmu’s expression suddenly change, Qi Jingyu tightened up and asked quickly.

Li Qingmu turned to look at him, his deep gaze slightly sunken, slightly shook his head: "It’s nothing, you must think carefully."

He didn’t continue the topic of Qi Yun but reminded him to think carefully about his own affairs.

Qi Jingyu was troubled, Li Qingmu’s reminder was pertinent, he should consider whether or not to be the Crown Prince?

"If I become Emperor, wouldn’t that mean I could follow my heart?"

Qi Jingyu squinted his eyes, his eyes suddenly showing a sharp glint.

Yes, being Emperor is good. When Emperor, no one can control you, the only ones who could are Grandpa and Imperial Uncle, but regarding emotional matters, Grandpa and Imperial Uncle were both positive models, he felt they wouldn’t manage him in the future.

In this way...

Qi Jingyu made up his mind, this throne, he absolutely could not let go!

"Father and Imperial Grandmother want me to give an explanation, I will go beg for their forgiveness now!"

In Qi Jingyu’s pitch-black and bright eyes, there was a cunning expression; after saying two sentences, he ran out.

Outside, Liang Youwen had been squatting in wait, and upon seeing the Crown Prince rush out, he was startled, stood up, and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince... Hey, Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Going to beg forgiveness from Father and Imperial Grandmother!"

Liang Youwen was slightly taken aback, has the Crown Prince come to his senses?
