"What!" Li Bing was stunned, "He's trying to kill me!"
Li Bing's painful experience was great news to Lin Kexin and Concubine De. "I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping in the branches this morning! Magpies really do report good news! "
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Nanny Yu congratulated Lin Kexin, "The Crown Prince has fallen, so the Second Prince will be the next emperor!"
"Nanny, don't say that, it's not good for others to hear it! The Emperor has only deposed the Crown Prince, he hasn't appointed a new one yet! "
Lin Kexin said that, but her face was full of smiles. How could Nanny Yu not know what Concubine De was thinking? She immediately started to flatter Wanyan Yi. She praised the Second Prince so much that Lin Kexin could not help but chuckle out loud.
Other than her Yi 'er, no one was qualified to be the Emperor. The world would belong to Wanyan Yi sooner or later! No matter who it was, as long as they stood in her son's way to the throne, she would definitely kill anyone who stood in her way!
At this moment, Lin Kexin suddenly thought of Wan Yankang and Murong Qiqi. Lin Kexin frowned when she thought of the interaction between Murong Qiqi and Wan Yankang in the palace that day.
If Murong Qiqi could marry Wanyan Yi, then Wanyan Yi would be the Crown Prince. Even if the Emperor didn't appoint him as the Crown Prince, the throne would belong to him sooner or later. Although Wanyan Yi suspected the relationship between Murong Qiqi and Feng Cang, they were siblings. No matter what, they would not do something that would ruin their reputation.
Lin Kexin's only worry was Wan Yankang, the time bomb. That day, she wanted to be the matchmaker between Murong Qiqi and Wanyan Yi, but she didn't expect that Murong Qiqi seemed to like Wan Yankang more! Wan Yankang was usually carefree, so she couldn't tell that he was so thoughtful.
Now that Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi were not in the capital, even if she wanted to matchmake Murong Qiqi and Wanyan Yi, it would be difficult. What should she do? This was a headache for Lin Kexin.
Many people didn't expect the Crown Prince to be deposed, but it was reasonable. Wanyan Hong's reputation wasn't good, so his deposition didn't affect the mood of many people. Instead, everyone was focused on who would become the new Crown Prince.
In the end, would the person who sat on the throne be the Second Prince, Wanyan Yi, or the Southern Unicorn Prince, Feng Cang, whom the Emperor favored? This was a choice that people struggled with. A busybody opened a bet in the gambling house, and the result was a fifty-fifty bet.
Half of the people supported the Southern Lin King, Feng Cang. They felt that Feng Cang had been favored since he was young, and this was something that everyone could see. Moreover, Wanyan Lie had thought of passing the throne to Feng Cang several times before. Now that Feng Cang was in control of the Northern Zhou Kingdom's military power, if Wanyan Yi really became the Emperor, it would depend on whether or not he could sit firmly on the throne.
Wanyan Yi's supporters, on the other hand, felt that it was only natural for him to pass it on to his son. No matter how much his nephew liked him, he was not of his own blood. There was a barrier between them. Moreover, among Wanyan Lie's princes, Wanyan Yi's performance was the best. He believed that he would become a good ruler in the future.
As for military power, if Wanyan Yi really became the Emperor, there would definitely be a fierce battle between him and Feng Cang. Feng Cang would either relinquish power or seize the throne. Unless Wanyan Lie could mediate between the two when he was still on the throne.
Wanyan Yi's supporters also had another thought. Feng Cang still had no children. With his ability to control his wife, it would be a big problem for him to have children if he couldn't get a wife in this lifetime. How would he pass the throne on in the future? Just this point alone made Wanyan Yi feel much better. In terms of the continuation of the dynasty, many people supported Wanyan Yi.
In the small town, Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi were still living a secluded life. However, there were messenger pigeons from the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Realm coming from the capital every day. Although the two of them were not in the imperial city, they knew everything that was happening in Yan Jing City.
"Which bastard pushed you to the front of the stage? What a bastard! "
Murong Qiqi was furious when she found out that the gambling house was using Feng Cang as the gambling house's candidate again. This matter was obviously manipulated by someone. They were so eager to push Feng Cang to the opposite side of Wanyan Yi. Were they trying to make him the target of everyone? Feng Cang had no interest in the throne at all. If he wanted to, he would have snatched it a long time ago!
"Qingqing, don't waste your time on useless people." Feng Cang's reaction to this matter wasn't as intense as Murong Qiqi's. He was very satisfied with his current life. With Murong Qiqi by his side every day, it was truly peaceful and leisurely.
This honeymoon period had made Feng Cang think about many things. Instead of struggling in the imperial court and scheming against each other, he might as well enjoy the world with Murong Qiqi and be a perfect couple.
"How can I not be worried? We want peace and quiet, but someone else wants to drag us into this mess. The Crown Prince has just fallen from power and now there's such a gambling house. Anyone can tell that someone is adding fuel to the fire! "
Feng Cang chuckled when he saw Murong Qiqi's face turn red. He lifted her chin and clicked his tongue. "Qingqing, you're still so beautiful when you're angry!"
"Cang, I'm being serious with you!" Murong Qiqi nestled in Feng Cang's embrace and played with his hair. "Speaking of which, I also have shares in the gambling house. Why don't we do something behind the scenes as well?"
"How?"
"Of course we'll elevate the Second Prince! If I'm not wrong, the person who set up this gambling house is Wanyan Yi. He can't wait to oppose you. Since that's the case, why don't we fulfill his wish and let his dream of becoming the Emperor grow bigger and bigger? What do you think? "
"Little demon!" Feng Cang immediately understood Murong Qiqi's meaning. He wanted to elevate Wanyan Yi and make him think that the people's hearts were on his side, the Second Prince's side. Then, his inner desires would swell up and he might do something 'shocking'.
It seemed like Jin Mo was right. If this woman was placed in the imperial court, she would definitely be able to do anything she wanted.
Indeed, in less than two days, Feng Cang and Wanyan Lie were tied. Feng Cang immediately fell behind, and Wanyan Yi's popularity soared. There were more and more people supporting Wanyan Yi in the capital. Everyone said that the bloodline of the imperial family could not be mixed, and that the throne must belong to the Second Prince.
When Wanyan Yi heard this news, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth. It seemed like the public's eyes were sharp. Everyone knew that Feng Cang was only a prince with a different surname, and that it was not legitimate for him to inherit the throne.
