The inheritance of the throne is undoubtedly a very sensitive topic.
Gu Qiankuang looked at Lin Bai with deep eyes and asked, "Why does the King of Southwest ask this question? Is this related to this case?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Of course it is related."
"The fourth prince also said that the late emperor was seriously ill and the situation was very bad. So, in this case, who would harm your majesty?"
"Is it so necessary to take such a big risk and harm the late emperor who is seriously ill?"
The great talent spoke while observing his words and expressions.
He continued: "So I boldly guess that the late emperor is going to appoint a new king, and other people know about it, so..."
He didn't continue talking at this point, but the meaning was very clear.
Gu Qiankuang's face also became extremely ugly.
Yi Xueyun was the same, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Qiankuang.
Gu Qiankuang immediately said: "No, as far as this prince knows, before his death, my father never mentioned the matter of passing on the throne, nor did he mention it to me."
"..."
"There was something wrong with his reaction."
In the main hall, Gu Qiankuang and Yi Xueyun had left, Gu Ling'er said with a gloomy face.
Lin Bai paused and said, "It's indeed a bit abnormal."
Gu Ling'er said: "My husband also agrees? So that means there is something wrong with him?"
Lin Bai said: "It's hard to say now. At least his reaction before was quite normal. It didn't look like he was lying. But when he mentioned the transfer, it became a little abnormal."
Gu Ling'er said: "Is there any difference? This means that he knows about the passing of the throne. He probably knows who the father is going to pass the throne to. If the throne is passed to him, then he just said it directly, and with his character, As well as the advantages of his current supporters, the people below are bound to act in a high-profile manner, but he does not, but is trying his best to hide it."
"This is enough to show that he not only knows who his father wants to pass the throne to, but also knows that that person is not him. Therefore, he has enough motives, plus Wu Sanshui..."
I have to say that Gu Ling'er's analysis makes sense.
Judging from Gu Qiankuang's reaction, it is a high probability that Gu Qiankuang knows the candidate for the succession.
And if this is the case, then he is indeed the most suspect.
However, Lin Bai still said: "This is just our speculation, and we can't be sure yet. Whether he really knew it and whether he actually took action cannot yet be determined."
Lin Bai thought for a moment and said, "Do you feel that Prime Minister Wang has been deliberately avoiding this matter?"
Gu Ling'er frowned and said, "Is there any?"
As she said this, she nodded subconsciously, "It wouldn't be surprising if there is. The Prime Minister has to deal with government affairs with hundreds of officials, so he spends more energy on government affairs."
Right! After all, it is such a big country.
Lin Bai asked again: "Isn't he your uncle? So, he belongs to the Shen family?"
"No!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Ling'er shook his head and said, "If Xiaojiu comes out to fight, he may support it. Others may not be on the same side as the Shen family. Although his wife is also a member of the Shen family, she is a side branch, and she was in the Shen family back then. The family is not doing well, it was the queen mother who helped his wife, so he and his aunt are very nice to me and Xiaojiu, but they don't like the Shen family."
"Moreover, when my father was still alive, the fight for the crown prince was fierce. He never interfered and was only loyal to his father. In fact, it was probably because of this that he was able to sit where he is today. Otherwise, he and his uncle might not be able to coexist. "
This feels a bit like Lao Yan!
Too!
The Shen family itself is a behemoth. If Wang Chengtai still gets involved with them, then either he or Shen Pojun will not be able to climb to the heights he is today.
It would be wisest not to participate in the fight for the crown prince and not get close to the Shen family.
It is also because of this that it has its current status.
Such a smart person and the Prime Minister should know something, right?
Lin Bai thoughtfully looked at Gu Ling'er and said, "You have been away from the court for so long after getting married. It's finally time to come back. It's time to meet your aunt."
Gu Ling'er's eyes lit up slightly.
The two were discussing.
On the other side, Gu Qiankuang had also returned to the mansion, his face gloomy and extremely ugly.
Yi Xueyun also had a worried look on his face and said, "Your Highness, what should we do now? Lin Qingfeng is already investigating this matter. Once he learns about it, then..."
Gu Qiankuang's eyelids were twitching wildly, and his teeth were chattering, "We can't let the second brother succeed, we must strike first."
Yi Xueyun's face changed slightly.
Gu Qiankuang said again: "Didn't he have someone arrange a pack of fake Soul Dispelling Powder? Find him out."
Yi Xueyun was startled and said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"
Yi Xueyun said: "Is this inappropriate? It's easy to get caught."
Gu Qiankuang said: "Wu Sanshui is a commander of the internal bodyguards, and trivial matters are not worth mentioning."
"What's more, at this point, does it matter whether there is evidence or not?"
"The second brother is spreading doubts because he just wants to drive a wedge between this prince, the third princess and the Shen family, so that this prince will not get the support of the Shen family."
"It's a pity that even if this prince cannot get the support of the Shen family, he can never hope to get the support of the Xie family. This prince is still stronger than him. My father has not made a will. His delusional attempt to turn things around is simply a fool's errand."
Yi Xueyun nodded, that was indeed the case.
When the strength of both sides was put into perspective, the second prince was still far behind the fourth prince.
The Cui family's rebellion and the queen's poisoning of the former queen had a huge impact.
A cold light flashed in Gu Qiankuang's eyes, and he said: "Send the order and ask the people below to be ready at all times. The second brother wants to play tricks? This prince will tell him what it means to waste his efforts. In the face of absolute strength, his conspiracy and tricks It’s all bullshit.”
Another mansion.
Zhou Yinglong bowed and reported: "Your Highness, the news just now is that the fourth prince met Lin Qingfeng, but his face was not good-looking when he came out, and he was ready to take action. It seems that it should have worked."
Gu Qianmo nodded when he heard the words, "The fact that he has been able to endure it till now has exceeded my expectations. I am waiting for him to take action and I am keeping a close eye on him."
"I understand the humble position!"
Zhou Yinglong responded.
Gu Qianmo asked again: "How is Lin Qingfeng doing there?"
Zhou Yinglong said: "Lin Qingfeng went back after reviewing the files, and asked the Sixth Prince to review the information on the deceased in Tianlao during this period."
A bright light flashed in Gu Qianmo's eyes, "He is indeed the most talented person in the world. He thought of it so quickly. As a result, the fourth child can no longer hide it."
"Presumably he is about to jump over the wall in a hurry, right? Let our people be well prepared."
"yes!"
…
