Chapter 1415: Chapter 1414: Cannot Be Without a Master for a Single Day
Prince Yù’s words might not be understandable to others.
But the two people in the hall have hearts as clear as mirrors.
Chu Qianli’s brow furrowed slightly; she didn’t expect that among the concubines in Chu Minghao’s residence, one had already become pregnant.
Chu Minghao naturally knew about this matter.
Prince Yù was using this unborn child to threaten Chu Minghao.
This time, Chu Minghao was definitely guilty beyond escape.
Prince Yù intended to convey that if he, Prince Yù, fell, his child shouldn’t hope to survive either.
Chu Minghao lay on the ground, blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes had completely lost their luster, and his heart was ashen.
His father had abandoned him.
He was left with only one path—a path to death.
Before leaving, Prince Yù looked at Lan Fan: "Sir, I have a severe pain in my chest. Could you visit my residence to examine what illness this might be?"
"Of course." Lan Fan also prepared to leave with him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qianli from the Jade Chair said, "If you’re feeling unwell, uncle, you may return early to rest. But, Master of the hall, your matters are not yet finished, you probably can’t leave this hall yet."
"What does Her Highness the Princess mean?"
"Master of the hall, currently the Lingjiu Hall in Nanming is leaderless. The matters within Lingjiu Hall haven’t been resolved yet; are you going to leave now?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yù and Lan Fan exchanged a glance, and something flashed in their eyes simultaneously.
How could Chu Qianli possibly be so kind as to let Lan Fan lead the entire Lingjiu Hall?
But now, indeed Lan Qing hasn’t awakened yet, and Lingjiu Hall is truly leaderless.
Prince Yù felt a complex emotion; today was meant to address Lan Fan’s matters, as Lingjiu Hall urgently needs a leader.
But because of the issue with the moat’s embankment, he just wished to dissociate himself from it, causing an important matter like Lingjiu Hall to be delayed.
"Your Highness the Princess, since Lingjiu Hall has been mentioned, let the State Preceptor..."
"Uncle, isn’t it a severe chest pain? Don’t you need to go back and rest?" Chu Qianli raised an eyebrow.
Prince Yù was furious, and the ministers felt a myriad of emotions.
This princess... well, indeed Prince Yù brought this upon himself.
The key now is whether the moat’s matters are related to Prince Yù?
The majority of the Neutral Faction now view Prince Yù very differently from before.
Power struggles are acceptable, as this Jiangshan should belong to those capable.
But if, in striving for power, one can disregard the people or even massacre them, that’s absolutely unacceptable.
Such a person, if one day becomes emperor, would certainly be a tyrant.
A tyrant would ruin the centuries-old Jiangshan of Nanming.
How could that be acceptable?
Many from the Neutral Faction have had their hearts’ scales start leaning towards the emperor and the princess.
Prince Yù snorted, unhappily saying, "My personal health matters little; the well-being of the people is most important."
Lingjiu Hall pertains to the stability of the Jiangshan and society.
Yet when he speaks these words now, everyone feels inexplicably complex emotions.
Prince Yù pretended not to see it and immediately looked at Chu Jiangnan: "Emperor, the current situation of the State Preceptor is entirely unknown to everyone. Please let the State Preceptor appear to ease everyone’s minds."
As long as the State Preceptor cannot appear, everyone’s worries about Lingjiu Hall will reach their peak.
The emperor wants to conceal matters regarding the State Preceptor; can he really keep it hidden?
"No rush; how about we first address the collapse of the moat? That, after all, has harmed thousands of lives!"
Chu Qianli’s face darkened, glaring angrily at Chu Minghao: "Princely Heir Hao, was there anyone else involved in the deliberate explosion of the moat? Speak!"
