"Sister Huang, among us princes and princesses, only you and Liu Jing had some friendship back then."
"So I invited you here today because I want to ask some questions about Liu Jing." Liu Yu said.
Today, Huaiqing is wearing a long purple palace dress. In line with her temperament of having been in a high position for a long time, she is very graceful and luxurious.
His gaze fell on Li Changkong's face impartially, and he said softly: "Ask."
Li Changkong was a little surprised when he heard this. It was clearly His Highness the Crown Prince who mentioned this matter. What did Princess Huaiqing do to him?
"Old Li, come and ask." Liu Yu said.
When Li Changkong heard this, he was slightly speechless and said: "I mainly want to ask Princess Huaiqing, whether Prince Jing is afraid of women?"
As soon as these words came out, Huaiqing's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown, obviously he had realized the seriousness of the matter.
Fear of women may not be a big deal to ordinary people.
But if it happened to the royal family, it would be a big deal!
What's more, it happened to Liu Jing, who had the hope of seizing the throne.
Being afraid of women means that you are destined to have no heirs!
Just imagine, if this matter is known to all civil and military officials, then... is it possible for Liu Jing to seize the throne?
Absolutely not! Even the forces in the court that now belong to him would turn against Liu Yu in an instant.
Even Emperor Jing Xing would not be able to choose a prince destined to have no heirs as the heir to the throne!
In other words, this news is enough to determine the outcome of the battle between Liu Yu and Liu Jing in an instant!
"Where did you get this news?" Huaiqing asked.
Hearing this, Li Changkong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It's because the source of the information is not accurate enough that I came to ask Her Highness the Princess for help."
Princess Huaiqing frowned slightly when she heard this. Her thoughts drifted back to more than ten years ago before she knew it, and she slowly said: "After all, Liu Jing is a concubine, and his mother and concubine are just a humble palace maid. That’s all.”
"Before he and his crown were crowned King Jing by his father, life was naturally not easy."
"As far as I know, there is no charcoal fire in winter, and it is common for you to suffer overt and covert bullying from some palace maids and eunuchs."
Li Changkong was slightly surprised when he heard this.
This was the first time he knew that King Jing had such a side.
This is a typical tragedy for the royal children of the feudal dynasty.
"However, one time it seemed to be particularly violent."
"She is an old nun in the palace. She is used to being domineering. After she was sent to Huai Jingyuan, she bullied Liu Jing and his mother and concubine day and night."
"Later, I accidentally learned about this matter. I told my father when he came to Renshou Palace. After that, the old nanny was executed by my father."
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "An evil servant who bullies his master deserves what he deserves."
"Since then, Liu Jing has become much more taciturn and doesn't like to talk when he meets people."
"I can't even avoid the old ladies and maids who come and go in the palace."
"After my father heard about it, he replaced all the maids in Huai Jingyuan with eunuchs."
"In this way, Liu Jing's situation is much better."
"My father thought that it was not very honorable for a dignified prince to be frightened like this by an old nanny. If it were spread, he would lose the face of the royal family, so he ordered that this matter should not be mentioned again in the harem."
"As time goes by, this matter will become nothing more."
"Now that you are asking me, I won't be able to give you an accurate answer for a while. I can only tell you that Liu Jing was indeed afraid of girls when he was a child."
"As for whether it still exists now, I don't know."
When Liu Yu heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Why don't I know about this?"
"You were still young at that time. I'm afraid you didn't remember anything. Even if you remember it, with your brain, I'm afraid you will forget it in a short time." Huaiqing rolled his eyes at him and said.
When Liu Yu heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Good guy, this is as good as saying that your brain is broken.
Mr. Li is still sitting here. Is it appropriate for you to expose your younger brother like this?
"From this point of view, this matter is indeed somewhat credible." Li Changkong's eyes gradually brightened and he analyzed: "Generally speaking, for the children of the royal family, marrying nobles is an indispensable way to consolidate their own power.
The means and approaches are lacking.”
"Although I have only met Liu Jing once, I can feel his great ambition!"
"Since he covets the position of crown prince, it is imperative to increase his bargaining chip through marriage and draw more people onto his chariot."
"However, it turns out that he has long passed the age suitable for marrying, but he is still alone."
"This is very wrong."
"So, Lao Li, do you think the news delivered by Li Jibei is true?" Liu Yu asked.
Li Changkong shook his head and said: "It is difficult for me to determine the authenticity, but there is no need to determine the authenticity."
"As the crown prince, Prince Jing is bound to get a wife. No matter how much he delays, he won't get anywhere."
"When the time comes, maybe His Majesty will grant him a marriage directly."
"When the time comes, it will be clear at a glance whether he is afraid of women!"
"What we have to do is just speed up the process."
"How do you say it?" Liu Yu continued to practice the fine tradition of asking if you don't understand.
And he accepted the idea that Lao Li's brain was better than his own without any psychological burden.
"It's very simple. The next time His Majesty and the Queen mention the matter of getting a concubine for the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will just casually mention that Prince Jing is not yet married."
"When the time comes, Your Majesty and the Queen will make arrangements for it. And it will most likely be a marriage, and I'm afraid Liu Jing won't be able to refuse."
"This..." Liu Yu said hesitantly: "What if he marries the daughter of an important minister? Then I am not looking for trouble for myself?"
Hearing this, Li Changkong smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I have already said before that we are just speeding up the process."
"Even if you don't mention it, do your majesty and the empress really want Liu Jing to stay without a wife for the rest of his life?"
"And with his status as Prince Jing, the one he can marry must be a daughter from a prominent family."
"It should be his help, it will always be his. We will have to face it sooner or later. In this case, what's the harm if it's earlier or later?"
"Besides, we now have an advantage in the overall situation, and we are not afraid of other forces intervening."
"What's more, if he can marry, the prince can't choose a concubine? The power of the crown prince's natal family must be better than that of Princess Jing, right?"
"The most important thing is that if the fear of women is true, this will be our final kill!" Li Changkong said enthusiastically.
When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. After pondering for a long time, he nodded and said, "I listen to you."
