Chapter 550 The Second Princess's Plan
Di Ran said calmly: "Whether it is unfair or not is another matter, at least she doesn't have that intention."
Ji Yunxie nodded in agreement: "I also think this matter is suspicious. You said that my eldest cousin is already a princess, and once the aunt steps down, she can legitimately succeed to the throne. There is no need to take this risk, right?"
but……
Ji Yunxie blinked and muttered, "Ayue, if it's not the princess, who else could it be?"
"Whoever benefits the most from this matter is the one behind it."
Ji Yunxie's fox eyes widened: "Ayue is saying..."
Di Ran's lips curled slightly, with deep meaning in his eyes.
……
Outside the palace, the second princess’ residence.
"Your Highness, now that Ji Xuan has been executed, the position of Crown Princess must belong to Your Highness."
The Second Princess Ji Fengwu stood with her hands behind her back, her face sullen, "Don't be too happy too soon, my Third Princess is no ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, several ministers did not take it seriously.
"Although His Royal Highness Prince Rui was deeply valued and trusted by His Majesty before, now that His Majesty has been implicated by Lord Feng and poisoned, it is inevitable that he will vent his anger on you. It may not be easy to regain His Majesty's trust."
"Yes, Your Highness. Now is a good opportunity to suppress King Rui's party."
"I don't know how long your Majesty's body can last now. What if..."
The other ministers suddenly realized what was going on after this reminder and became extremely anxious.
Yes, the way His Majesty looked when he went to court really scared them.
I heard that Your Majesty is not as strong as before after this incident.
He looked even older than them, as if he had one foot halfway in the coffin.
How could they not panic?
Now that the princess has been executed, there is no possibility of her being reinstated.
If we don't fight for it now, will the Third Princess get the upper hand?
Ji Fengwu also understood the anxious concerns of several ministers and staff, but she was always cautious in doing things and never left any handles.
She is determined to win the battle for the crown prince, but she won't be careless.
"I have my own plans for this matter. Now that the Queen Mother is in poor health, it may not be appropriate to propose the appointment of a crown princess at this time."
The minister hesitated after hearing this and said, "Then according to your Highness, what you mean is..."
Ji Fengwu narrowed her black eyes slightly, with a cunning light in her eyes: "I won't mention it, you can..."
He waved his hand, signaling all his ministers to come closer.
After the ministers heard Ji Fengwu's plan, they suddenly understood.
"Your Highness is brilliant!" "I admire you!"
Ji Fengwu's rosy lips curled slightly, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
Third sister, please don't let your sister down.
The imperial sister took great pains to find the Brahma Lotus to kill three birds with one stone.
Now that Ji Xuan is dead, the position of Crown Princess has become vacant.
Feng Jun fell out of favor and suppressed the Right Prime Minister's lineage.
The mother queen dragon's body is damaged and she will not live long.
As long as she gets rid of Ji Huashang, won’t the throne and the kingdom be hers?
At this moment, Ji Fengwu's heart was filled with strong ambition and determination to win.
Ji Fengwu sent his subordinates and aides away and was instructing his men to do the work.
A maid came over in a hurry: "This servant greets the Second Prince."
"What's the matter?"
Ji Fengwu frowned.
The maid said in a panic, "Your Highness, go and have a look. Lord Lin and Lord Ya are fighting. Lord Zheng… Lord Zheng fell down and is bleeding a lot…"
"What did you say?!"
Ji Fengwu's face suddenly changed. She stood up in shock and strode forward. The maid quickly followed and told her the general situation on the way.
When Ji Fengwu arrived, Zhengjun had already miscarried.
Lin Cejun and Ya Cejun were quarreling in the yard in an attempt to shirk responsibility, which made Ji Fengwu so angry that she scolded them on the spot.
In the end, Lin Cejun was beaten with thirty sticks and was confined to his house for half a year, while Ya Cejun was forced to copy Buddhist scriptures a hundred times and was confined to his house for three months.
It's not that Ji Fengwu is being gentle, but now is the time to compete for the throne. One of them is the son of the Minister of Works, and the other is her cousin of the Young Master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. She can't offend both sides.
Although Zhengjun was from the Duke of Qin's Mansion, the marriage was chosen by Fengjun and arranged by the Queen Mother, which did not benefit her at all.
After all, the Duke Qin's Mansion has never taken sides. Even though she has married their family's legitimate son, they still don't give her any face at all, which makes Ji Fengwu very dissatisfied.
Therefore, Xue Mingzhen, the legitimate ruler, was not favored in the mansion.
Moreover, he has a gentle and soft personality, a soft bun, and dares not complain even when being bullied, just because he likes Ji Fengwu.
It’s okay to suffer a little for the sake of the one you love.
I have to say that Ji Fengwu is very capable.
