The next morning, Tantai Yu was pulled up from the bed by Tantai Mingyue when he was in a daze.
"Second Sister, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
There were two dark circles under Tantai Yu's eyes. He thought too much these days. He didn't fall asleep until the latter half of the night yesterday. He just slept for less than four hours.
Tantai Mingyue didn't care so much. She held the Crown Prince's clothes and urged, "Get up! This morning, father suddenly announced that the Empress was banished to the Cold Palace! "
"What?!"
Tantai Yu woke up and couldn't believe it, "He Jinwei was banished to the Cold Palace?"
Tantai Mingyue nodded cautiously, "I have been to the Qiankun Palace. It has been blocked by father. No one can see the situation inside."
"Didn't Prime Minister He protest? He Jinwei is his eldest granddaughter! "
Tantai Yu was confused. In the past, his father tolerated He Jinwei because he was afraid of the He Family. He even asked his mother to give up the position of the Empress to He Jinwei. Why did he suddenly do it? Wasn't he afraid that the He Family would rebel?
Tantai Mingyue shook her head helplessly, "I just got the news. How can I find out so much? But after the news came out, the He Family hasn't done anything."
A storm was coming?!
Tantai Yu's heart sank. He put on his clothes and said seriously, "I'm going to see father now!"
"Okay!"
Tantai Mingyue responded heavily. That was why she came to Tantai Yu. Tantai Yu had a good relationship with Su Li. If he went to ask, father would not refuse him.
On the way, Tantai Yu's heart was heavy.
The He Family was the most powerful family in Tianji Country except for the royal family. The head of the family, He Tian, was over seventy years old. He was still in charge of the court. He was the Prime Minister of Tianji Country!
He Tian's eldest granddaughter, He Jinwei, became the Empress of Tianji Country under his operation. His youngest granddaughter, He Yulan, also became the First Prince's imperial concubine. If there was no Su Li, He Yulan would be the next Empress. At that time, the whole harem would belong to the He Family.
All this time, Imperial Father did not make Eldest Brother the Crown Prince, most likely because he saw this point. He originally thought that Imperial Father would use soft policies to slowly weaken the He Family's influence, and he would do the same in the future. He did not expect that everything would happen so suddenly.
When he was thinking, the Imperial Study was in sight. Tantai Yu quickened his steps and walked to the door. When he was about to speak, the old eunuch guarding the door said in a sharp voice,
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty has instructed that you can go in directly. This old servant reckons that His Majesty has been waiting for you."
Tantai Yu was slightly surprised and immediately said, "Thank you, Eunuch Qian."
"Your Highness is too polite."
The old eunuch smiled until the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became wrinkles. This was the future Emperor, so how could he dare to be rash? His attitude was much more respectful than before.
Tantai Yu entered the room and glanced around. He didn't see a palace maid except his father who was writing something at the desk.
Secret talk?
His heart tightened slightly. He walked to the open space in front of the table and respectfully bowed. "This child greets Imperial Father."
Dan Feng Feng put down the pen in his hand and looked up to see his "son" kneeling down. He smiled indifferently: "Lucky little guy, get up."
Little guy?
Tantai Yu stood up and straightened up. He was confused. His father used to call him "Yu". Why did he change such a strange name today?
Dan Feng Feng saw his confusion but didn't explain. He just handed over the imperial edict just written in his hand: "Take it. Arrange the rest as soon as possible."
Tantai Yu was more confused. He took the imperial edict in a daze. He glanced at the content of the imperial edict inadvertently. His hands trembled and he almost threw the imperial edict away.
Abdication!
His father actually decided to abdicate the throne to him five days later!
"Father, why do you …?!" Tantai Yu was so anxious that his forehead sweated. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Dan Feng Feng chuckled and shook his head slowly: "Little guy, don't be afraid. I know why you come to me. It's nothing more than the He Family. Do you think that I compromised before because I was afraid that the He Family would rebel? "
"Isn't it?"
Tantai Yu was completely confused. If the middle-aged man in front of him didn't give him a very amiable feeling, he almost thought that his father was replaced by someone else.
"Of course not."
After Tantai Feng finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression turned cold, "That kind of ant is not enough to enter my eyes. If it wasn't for Ge'er, why would I be so cowardly? But now, I have confirmed some things, so I have less to worry about."
The existence of Jing Xin and Su Li's situation were enough to let him confirm that the real mirror spirit of the Reincarnation Mirror was sleeping. Even if he made a big movement, he would not be suppressed. So … he could move freely.
Tantai Yu was stunned. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He didn't understand a word of what his father said just now.
Moreover, his father didn't seem to be as close to his children as before. He even didn't have the habit of calling himself "emperor".
He faintly felt that he knew a great secret, but his father didn't tell him in detail. He only saw the tip of the iceberg and couldn't know the whole picture.
After struggling for a moment, Tantai Yu couldn't help but ask, "Father, why are you so … strange today? You make me feel … "
"Do I feel like an outsider?"
Dan Feng Feng laughed, which made Tantai Yu change his expression slightly, "That's not what I mean."
"That's what you mean." Dan Feng Feng's smile remained unchanged, "In fact, you little guys are outsiders. We old guys want to be outsiders, but … we can't help it."
After sighing slightly, Tantai Feng looked at Tantai Yu who was more and more confused. He shook his head and smiled, "Boy, don't think too much. When the time comes, you will know something in the future. Now … it's too early. "
"In two days, your mother is about to wake up. At that time, I will make her the empress again, and then you will ascend the throne! You can do whatever you want in Tianji Country. Your mother and I will enjoy life in the imperial harem. Unless the country is in danger, don't disturb us. "
Tantai Yu was overjoyed. He didn't find that Dan Feng Feng looked a little strange when he said "your mother". He responded repeatedly, "Mother is about to wake up? That's great. I'm going to prepare now! "
As he said, he was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he realized that he seemed to forget his original purpose after coming in.
"Father …"
He turned his head. Before he said in detail, Tantai Feng said without raising his head, "Deal with the affairs of He Family after you ascend the throne. You can find Commander Xu for specific matters. He and the Black Scale Army will be yours in the future."
Black Scale Army?!
The most mysterious and powerful men of sacrifice in Tantai Family!
Father actually decided to use the Black Scale Army!
Tantai Yu was slightly shocked. His worries were swept away in an instant.
"Yes, father!"
…
Not long after, Tantai Yu left the Imperial Study. As soon as he walked out of the Imperial Garden, he saw Commander Xu with a serious face waiting silently in front of the palace gate. Commander Xu immediately greeted him when he saw him. He saluted directly,
"Your Royal Highness!"
Tantai Yu was in a trance for a moment. He remembered the disappointment and disdain on Commander Xu's face when he took Su Li into the palace rashly. Today, it was a completely different scene.
Tantai Yu didn't have time to sigh. He raised Commander Xu's waist and said, "Commander Xu, please stand up. I will rely on you and your Black Scale Army in the future."
Commander Xu's body was slightly stiff, but he still bent down. He said dryly, "You can't ignore the etiquette!"
Tantai Yu's cultivation couldn't stop Commander Xu. He had to wait for Commander Xu to finish the salute. Tantai Yu asked,
"Commander Xu, father has told me to deal with the affairs of He Family. How is the situation now?"
Commander Xu was slightly serious when he heard the words. He stretched out his hand to dismiss the accompanying Black Scale Guards behind him. Tantai Yu also dismissed all the eunuchs. In an instant, there were only two of them on the palace road.
"Your Royal Highness, in fact, the affairs of He Family are finished."
Commander Xu took a slight breath and said a fact that shocked Tantai Yu.
"Why? Didn't Prime Minister He know how to resist?"
Commander Xu thought of what he saw yesterday. There was a hidden fear in his eyes. He explained in a low voice,
"Your Royal Highness, you may not know. Just yesterday, all the influential people of He Family disappeared mysteriously, including Queen Jinwei who had been banished to the Cold Palace."
"What did you say?!"
Tantai Yu opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but raise his voice.
He Jinwei was banished to the Cold Palace. Anyway, she was his father's woman. How could she disappear casually?
At this moment, Tantai Yu subconsciously thought of "Mr. Li". Thinking of that person's great power, the shock on his face immediately faded a lot.
"It seems that you have understood, Your Royal Highness."
Commander Xu said at the right time, "I heard that there is a person in the Linli Building who has a deep grudge with the He Family. After being valued by Mr. Li, he returned to the Tianji Country and immediately killed the He Family. The He Family was wiped out before they could do anything!"
"And then just yesterday, people of Linli Building took He Jinwei from the palace and He Tian who was in the mansion of Tantian City. All the people in charge of the He Family are gone, and the remaining people are like a group of dragons without a leader. They won't be able to stir up any waves. As long as Your Highness sends someone to clean up the mess, the great merit of killing the rebellious family will immediately be in your pocket! "
Commander Xu's words were full of anger and expectation. Although he didn't have the right to choose his master, he also wanted to see whether the Crown Prince appointed by His Majesty and Mr. Li had the ability to ascend the throne.
Tantai Yu closed his eyes and sighed softly. His heart was cold. In just half a month, all the changes flashed in front of him. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Su Li's smiling face.
At this moment, even if he was slow, he should be aware that the suddenly clear road in front of him was mostly related to his junior sister apprentice.
Although he didn't know what the relationship between Mr. Li and Su Li was, since it was his junior sister apprentice's intention …
Tantai Yu's eyes flashed and his tone became overbearing for the first time.
