Chapter 630: Your Majesty really wants me to choose a princess?
"Oh, the matter of establishing a crown prince is not a secret. The civil and military officials in the court are not dead. If this spreads ten times, ten times a hundred times, who doesn't know about it?"
It seemed like Ji Yao asked a stupid question.
Ji Yao's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty also thinks that I should establish a princess as the crown prince?"
"Establishing a crown prince is indeed beneficial to stabilizing the country's foundation..."
Seeing Ji Yao's face suddenly become ugly, he changed the subject again: "It's just... after all, this country belongs to your Majesty, and it's up to your Majesty to decide whether to appoint a crown prince or not."
Ji Yao's gloomy and ugly expression instantly turned bright after hearing the second half of the sentence. She looked at Di Ran with a scrutinizing gaze, and there was a hint of temptation in her words.
"Who do you think I should appoint as the new emperor?"
Di Ran frowned: "This is your Majesty's family affair. I am just an outsider, I am afraid it is not convenient for me to interfere."
She had no intention of interfering in the matter of appointing a crown prince. Although she had the right, she did not intend to bring herself into trouble.
Ji Yao pretended to be angry: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? You are the adopted daughter of the late emperor and you are deeply favored by him. Although you have no blood relationship with me, I treat you as my own sister."
"Since she is my sister, my family affairs are also the prince's family affairs. What's the inconvenience?"
Di Ran raised the corner of his mouth, looking at Ji Yao with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, are you really going to let me choose the princess?"
The late emperor's will is in her hands, and everyone knows how much power she holds.
How could Ji Yao let her choose the princess?
Sure enough, Ji Yao's expression changed instantly. There was a momentary distortion in her eyes. Although the sinister murderous intent that flashed across her eyes was concealed well, Di Ran still caught it.
"I……"
"Royal sister, let me tell you the truth."
Ji Yao suppressed her anger and said with a fake smile: "My sister feels that she is in good health, so there is no rush to appoint a crown prince."
"I summoned Your Highness to the palace this time because I want you to think of a way to deal with those ministers."
Di Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Ji Yao: "Your Majesty, you are joking. You are the Majesty. It is not my turn to interfere in dealing with the ministers, right?"
"Besides, I have a pregnant woman to take care of. I don't have the time or energy to care about these trivial matters."
Having said that, Di Ran didn't plan to stay here any longer. He missed Ah Xie and wanted to fly back to him immediately. He didn't have the energy to talk to Ji Yao. Di Ran stood up from the chair, smoothed his sleeves, and said lazily, "If your majesty has nothing else to do, I will go back home first."
"The prince is still waiting in the palace, and I can't bear to see him tired."
"and many more……"
Ji Yao's face was gloomy, she felt that Di Ran was too presumptuous in front of her.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Di Ran turned around, looked calmly at the Empress, and smiled sweetly: "A Xie is your nephew, don't you want him to live a good life?"
"Or do you not like the fact that he is pregnant with my child, and you don't like me?"
"Then I am so sad. Just now, Your Majesty said that he treated me as his own sister. How come... is this sisterhood fake? Is it just something Your Majesty said?"
The series of words blocked Ji Yao's questions in her throat, making her feel choked.
Ji Yao's face twisted slightly, and she forced a smile: "Your Highness, you are joking. I naturally treat you as my own sister."
"Then I want to leave the palace. Your Majesty will not stop me, right?"
"…Won't…"
Ji Yao gritted her teeth in hatred and smiled hypocritically.
In this way, Di Ran left the palace smoothly.
After she left the palace, the empress became very angry and beat and killed two palace maids.
After leaving the palace, Di Ran did not return home immediately. Instead, she went to Prince Zhan's mansion to pick up Axie.
Just this one visit made her furious.
