He couldn't hide his thoughts well. "Yu'er, are you worried about something?"
Yu'er shook her head and didn't want to say anything more, and just ate in silence. Xuan'er and Yu'er were little girls. They didn't eat much, so they yelled that they couldn't eat anymore and went to play in the yard. Zhan Meixiang and Yu'er were the only two people left at the table.
The atmosphere became much quieter without Xuan'er. Zhan Meixiang obviously had no appetite as she ate the rice in the bowl. There was still a lot of rice left in it.
"Mother!" Yu'er shouted first.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Zhan Meixiang was thinking about her future plans. When Yu'er called out like that, she was startled at first, then came back to her senses and looked at Yu'er.
Ever since she moved into the cold palace, Yu'er has been much more silent than before. Especially since she has been practicing swordplay so hard recently, Zhan Meixiang is a little worried about whether Yu'er can handle Yu'er's deep meaning, but Yu'er's temper is different from Dongfang Che's.
So exactly the same, Zhan Meixiang knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. So she had to secretly ask Ying not to make Yu'er too hard. Ying was now Yu'er's master, and Yu'er could still listen to what he said.
"Recently... I heard some rumors. They said that the father... the emperor passed away!" Yu'er said hesitantly.
Zhan Meixiang sighed secretly. She knew that the news would reach the children's ears sooner or later, but she didn't expect that she deliberately prevented the children from going out, but it still spread so quickly.
Seeing the way Yu'er looked at her, although she tried her best to pretend it didn't matter, she still couldn't hide the hope left in her heart. After all, she was still a child. Zhan Meixiang put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "Rumors are not important.
, what you need to do now is to grow up well instead of listening to the gossip outside."
Zhan Meixiang didn't want the rumors outside to crush her two children who were not yet adults. After all, they were still young.
Yu'er nodded, already somewhat understanding the authenticity of the rumors. Her mother was unwilling to answer this question directly, so what she was worried about was still true.
He secretly clenched his fists. He wanted to become stronger and more powerful so that he could protect the people around him.
The next few days in the Leng Palace were as quiet as ever, but Zhan Meixiang was still keenly aware of some subtle changes. The evasive looks of the palace ladies who came and went told her that it must be very unquiet outside the Leng Palace.
She could more or less guess that Dongfang Che and the Queen Mother had passed away at the same time, Yu'er had just been deposed, and now there was no candidate for the throne. The princes in the palace and the marquises on both sides of the northwest were all spying on the throne. The major forces were incompatible with each other.
, everyone wants to come and pick up this piece of fat from the Eastern Kingdom, but the person who hinders them enough to stop them from picking up this piece of fat is undoubtedly Yu'er.
According to the national rules of the Eastern Kingdom, if the late emperor dies suddenly and leaves no will, the prince will succeed to the throne. If there is no prince, the eldest son will succeed to the throne. Although Yu'er has been deprived of the title of prince,
He is still Dong
Fang Che's eldest son, those who want the throne, but don't want to be labeled as seeking power and usurping the throne, then only if Yu'er dies will they have more reason to fight for the throne. But in this case, Yu'er's situation will become very serious.
Danger……
Zhan Meixiang looked at the figures of Yu'er and Ying practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, holding the tiger charm on her chest tightly with her hands, and her eyes became more and more worried.
