591. Chapter 591 Extra Story: Xue Wu Hiring Ting 28
To be honest, Liu Pinting was not surprised when she heard the news. The fifth prince was already impatient, and waiting until today was his limit.
The old Marquis obviously knew this, and he sighed heavily and said: "It would be okay if he came back alone, but in the current situation, he also brought back the 200,000 troops sent by the emperor to garrison the border.
, it seems that he is planning to force the palace. During the morning of the court today, the emperor received the urgent report. He was so angry that he vomited in the court hall. After the examination, the imperial doctor said that the end was approaching. On this day, I am afraid that
That’s going to change soon.”
Liu Pinting's voice was soft and gentle. Compared with the old man's solemn expression, she seemed as calm as the wind: "The emperor's body is getting worse every day. It will change sooner or later."
The old man glanced in the direction outside the window and said, "Yes! Sooner or later, things are going to change."
"Then what are grandpa's plans next?" Liu Pinting knew in her heart that as the queen's natal family, the Hou Mansion was the queen's only source of support, so she probably couldn't sit idly by at this time.
Sure enough, I heard the old man say: "Your aunt specially asked me to meet you after the morning court today, hoping that I can help the fifth prince with all my strength. You also know that your aunt only has one son, the fifth prince. If it doesn't work, your aunt
You and the fifth prince will be worth worrying about for the rest of their lives. What's more, the Hou family and your aunt are dependent on each other. Only when they are rich can the Hou family be rich. Furthermore, as the mother clan of the fifth prince, once something goes wrong, no matter how involved the Hou family is,
If you don't participate, you won't be able to escape the relationship." At the end, he sighed again and said: "Fortunately, you have already married into the palace, even if it doesn't happen this time, it won't affect you."
"So, grandpa has decided to help the fifth prince seize the throne?" In fact, this result was already expected by Liu Biting. Based on the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the fifth prince, there was no way to be alone at this time, so she didn't do anything on her own.
Not surprised either.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Grandpa, what do you think the fifth prince has a chance of winning this time?"
The old man shook his head, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic: "Grandpa knows the emperor very well. The emperor has been good at calculations in his life. If he is not completely sure, he will not easily hand over the military power to the fifth prince. Especially when he has already
With a candidate to succeed the throne, even though the fifth prince has an army of 200,000 at his disposal, it may not be that easy to succeed. Of course, there is no chance of winning at all. However, these are not things you need to worry about.
You just need to be your Crown Princess in peace and contentment."
Even so, it was about the prosperity and survival of the Hou Mansion, so how could she really stay out of it?
Although she didn't care who became the emperor, she couldn't care less about the family members who gave birth to her.
The battle for the throne is extraordinary. It is not only a matter of one person's success or failure, but also the lives and fortunes of many people. Among them are the family members she cares about the most.
Liu Biting's heart gradually sank, and her mind became clearer and clearer. After a while, she looked at the old master and said: "It is indeed difficult for the fifth prince to accomplish anything alone, but has grandpa ever thought about finding someone to cooperate? Granddaughter
Do you know that there is someone who might be able to help the Fifth Prince succeed?"
The old prince was not surprised and said: "Are you talking about the Ninth Prince?"
Liu Pinting rarely discussed state affairs in front of her family, but her granddaughter has been very smart since she was a child, has a big chest, and is as smart as a man. The old Marquis of Jingguo knows this better than anyone else.
