Yu Wenhao was surprised. He thought she would say a few words, but she actually got to the core issue directly.
That means Lao Qi really doesn't have many lives to secure his position as the crown prince.
This is probably the reason why Chu Shoufu has not made any move yet and has not expressed his position. Now is definitely not the time.
He was also very curious. Is she really not interested in the position of Crown Princess at all? After becoming the Crown Princess, she will become the Queen in the future. Of course, the premise is that the Crown Prince can survive until the day he ascends the throne.
"You really don't want me to compete for the crown prince's position?" Yu Wenhao asked.
Yuan Qingling glanced at him strangely, "How come it's my turn to hope or not? I'm not the prince."
"If I were the prince, then you would be the princess."
Yuan Qing smiled and asked, "What is the difference between the Crown Princess and the Princess?"
"Why is there no difference? Don't pretend to be confused with me, don't you want to be the queen?" Yu Wenhao looked at her.
Yuan Qingling moved the cup on the table and said softly: "It's easy to think, but the road is dangerous, so it's not worth it."
As the saying goes, the price is too high to afford.
"It's just," Yu Wenhao looked at her and discussed the profound question, "It's okay if Lao Qi can firmly hold the position of prince. If he can't sit firmly, the person who ascends to the position of prince will never let you and me go.
,So, the end of the fight may also be that the head is missing."
Yuan Qingling's eyes flashed slightly, "What do you think?"
Yu Wenhao slowly shook his head, "Not really, I'm just telling you the worst case scenario."
If it really comes to that, he won't run away.
Yuan Qingling shrugged, "Actually, there is no need to worry so much for the time being. My father is still very young. Now, let's find a way to deal with Yuan Jie's problem first. The current matters are the most urgent."
Yu Wenhao calmed down, looked at her and said, "You are right. Since you agree to this plan, then enter the palace now."
A strange light flashed in his eyes, "At this time, my father usually meets with cabinet ministers in the imperial study room."
"I'll go by myself, you just pretend you don't know anything." Yuan Qing Ling said.
"Understood!" He really couldn't know about this matter, otherwise, his father would be even more furious.
Emperor Ming Yuan and his cabinet ministers were discussing politics inside. Yuan Qing Ling arrived outside the imperial study hall and knelt down directly, which shocked Eunuch Mu Ru.
"Oh, princess, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Eunuch Mu Ru stepped forward to help her.
Yuan Qingling looked grief-stricken, "No, father-in-law, just let me kneel down. I really can't escape the blame, so I came to plead guilty to my father."
Eunuch Mu Ru did not dare to let her kneel here, so he quickly went in to report to Emperor Ming Yuan.
When Emperor Ming Yuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Send her back first. Don't you see that I am busy?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade him to leave easily!" Mu Rugong said impartially.
Emperor Ming Yuan was slightly stunned and stood up, "Ask her to see me in the side hall."
The cabinet ministers looked at each other, and Princess Chu knelt outside to apologize?
The side hall was not far from the main hall of the imperial study. Emperor Ming Yuan entered, and Yuan Qingling was brought in through another side door.
Yuan Qingling knelt down, but before she could speak, Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly: "Get up, I know what you are planning, and get out of the palace immediately."
Yuan Qingling knew that he would find out, but the show still had to be done. She said sadly: "Father, my daughter-in-law should bear full responsibility for the city gate incident."
"What does it have to do with you? What are you talking about?" Emperor Ming Yuan lost his patience, and Lao Wu and his wife became more and more messy.
Yuan Qing Lingdao said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is the Princess of Chu. She is deeply favored by the emperor and supported by the people. When the incident occurred, although she was at the scene, she was unable to stop it and failed to treat her. As a result, many injured people were seriously injured and the scene was chaotic.
, all this is because I didn’t stop this farce early. My daughter-in-law was on top of the city tower at that time, and she was already restless when she saw the people waiting in line. She had already thought that something would happen, but she was always lucky and didn’t notify anyone in time.
In Jingzhao Mansion, the people are now criticizing one after another, accusing Princess Qi of being hypocritical and trying to win a reputation with a bowl of gruel. As a princess, I am also deeply uneasy. If the people accuse Princess Qi, are they not blaming me? My daughter-in-law was worried all night.
, I feel uneasy, so I must go to the palace to ask my father to punish me, and ask my father to issue an edict to deal with my daughter-in-law, so as to calm the hearts of my subjects in the Northern Tang Dynasty."
Yuan Qingling felt that even what Yu Wenhao said could not involve Chu Mingcui, the culprit. Since she was going to be the scapegoat, she must not let Chu Mingcui go. She had to be dragged in together. This was only fair.
This is due to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor. If you want to do it, do it absolutely.
Emperor Ming Yuan was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
However, she made a sincere speech, with tears in her eyes, as if she was really guilty. Most importantly, a group of courtiers outside were listening, so he could not get angry.
"Get out of the palace!" Emperor Ming Yuan could only say these three words, and then lowered his voice and said angrily: "Don't think that I dare not really deal with you. You keep pushing the envelope. One day, you have to
Pay the price for your willfulness."
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was extremely pale, and even Eunuch Mu Ru, who was watching from the side, was too frightened to say anything.
Yuan Qingling was also frightened. She knelt on the ground and slowly crawled over. She put her hand into her sleeve pocket and shivered for a while, but there was no movement.
When Emperor Ming Yuan was about to get angry, he saw her tremblingly stretching out a stick, handing it to him, and looking at him pitifully.
Emperor Ming Yuan only felt that his brain exploded all of a sudden, along with his heart and lungs, and his chest felt a dull pain.
"Father, talented people are easy to come by, but loyal ones are hard to find. If a meritorious minister is innocently punished, how many pairs of feet will be broken that are rushing to serve the imperial court?" Yuan Qing kowtowed and said sincerely, with the same expression just now.
The compassionate face was also hidden, and now he was kneeling on the ground, his eyes calm.
Emperor Ming Yuan was filled with anger, but was suppressed for a moment. He looked at her solemnly and said, "Get up. I have made my own decision on this matter."
Yuan Qing couldn't stand up, so she raised her head and looked at him, "Father, in the heart of my daughter-in-law, you are a wise and wise king."
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily: "If you cooperate with me to deal with Yuan Jie, you are no longer Ming Jun? You have a crooked arm!"
Yuan Qingling saw that he was no longer so angry, so she said seriously: "Father does not really want to deal with Yuan Jie. Even if he deals with it temporarily, he will definitely promote him in the future. My daughter-in-law is not worried about Yuan Jie, she is only worried about the guilty person."
, if you are lucky, you will remain stubborn and continue to do those reckless things. When the time comes, I am afraid that it will not seriously hurt a few people, but cause the people to lose their trust and confidence in the royal family. Father, the person who made the mistake is not the first one.
For once, if my father really cares about King Qi, he should not indulge her."
Emperor Ming Yuan snorted coldly, "You are not afraid of hurting my grand-in-law's harmony."
"We have never been harmonious." Yuan Qingling said confidently.
Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that outsiders will think you are jealous of her? Or coveting other things?"
Yuan Qingling grinned, "Don't be afraid, there are always people with a clear mind who can see everything clearly."
Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly again: "Aren't you afraid of the Chu family's revenge on you?"
Yuan Qingling's smile gradually disappeared and she said in a trembling voice: "Afraid!"
Emperor Ming Yuan saw her expression and said with satisfaction: "Take your staff and get out!"
