The Fourth Lady

Chapter 371 Counterattack

Looking at the Crown Prince, the empress walked to him and took his hand. ''Son, don't worry about

this matter for the time being. Maybe he didn't want to compete for the throne."

The Crown Prince looked at the empress and shook his head helplessly. "I know Fourth Prince very

well. Although he doesn't want to kill me now, I know he must have a backup. Mother, do you know

that? I have never been so worried about losing this position as I am now. "

"Son, it's all my fault. If I hadn't offended Junzhu, you wouldn't end up like this." The empress looked at

the Crown Prince and said seriously, "but now that things have come to this, we have to work hard. I

think as long as we are not dead, you will still be the Crown Prince."

Of course the Crown Prince believed the empress. But who could he blame for now? The Fourth Prince

was much better in folk affairs than him.

"Son, you should get married with another concubine at an age like this. What do you think of Luo

Zhanxiang?" The empress looked at the Crown Prince and said with a smile, "don't worry. I'll arrange

everything for you."

Hearing the empress's words, the Crown Prince shook his head. "I'm not very familiar with this woman.

Mother, why did you mention her?"

The empress looked at the Crown Prince and said seriously, "she is the granddaughter of General Luo.

If you can marry his granddaughter, I think he will still support you. As for General Su, he will always be

on the side of elder general. In this way, you have military power."

Hearing the empress's words, the Crown Prince asked with a smile, "mother, do you want me to gain

the military power from Suyun?"

The empress looked at the Crown Prince and nodded seriously. "It's true. Now the only way you can do

is to get the military power in Suyun's hand, which is the best way for you. As for Junzhu, if you get the

military leadership, she will also listen to your orders."

Pondering over the empress's words, the Crown Prince asked in confusion, "but if that's the case, how

can we get the military power from Suyun? You should know that it is impossible for me to take over

the military power considering my body condition. "

After listening to the Crown Prince's words, the empress thought it over and found that the current

situation was indeed like this, because no matter what, they had no one to take control of the military

leadership.

"Mother, I'd better solve it myself. You don't have to worry too much." The Crown Prince looked at the

empress with concern. "After all, you have done too much for me."

"If there is really no other choice, we might take advantage of Concubine Yi." The empress said

seriously.

The empress knew that Concubine Yi had an affair with the Ninth King. It might work if she threaten

them and make use of them.

"Son, stay out of this matter for the time being. You can help me solve it when I fail. Considering your

current situation, it is not suitable for you to do it, let alone that you are not a match for the Fourth

Prince." The empress looked at the Crown Prince and stated seriously.

"Okay!" The Crown Prince said seriously while looking at the expression on the empress' face.

Although the Crown Prince didn't know whether the empress could come up with any solution, the only

person he could rely on now was the empress.

After the Crown Prince left, the empress asked a maid to prepare a big gift so she can visit Concubine

Yi. Although the maid didn't understand, she still prepared the gift according to the empress's order.

In the Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Yi didn't expect the empress would come to see her. After all, they

had never met each other, including Concubine Yi, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian. So she was

surprised at the empress's arrival. But she still responded respectfully to the empress by bringing her

into the Zhongcui Palace.

"What are you doing here?" Concubine Yi looked at the empress and said with a smile, "is it because

something happened to you?"

The empress looked at the expression on Concubine Yi's face. Although she disdained to get along

with her, she could only depend on the Ninth King behind her. As long as the Ninth King supported the

Crown Prince, they might have a better chance of winning.

"Sister, let me make it clear." The empress looked at Concubine Yi and said, "I want the Ninth King to

support the Crown Prince. Please help me."

Hearing the empress's words, Concubine Yi narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "what are you

talking about, sister? I don't know who the Ninth King is. Besides, it's none of my business."

"Sister, You know clearly that your relationship. I only want the Ninth King's help now. Otherwise, don't

you fear that I tell his majesty your little secrets?"

Hearing the empress's words, Concubine Yi giggled, "sister, is this all you want to say? Even if I have a

relationship with the Ninth King, so what? Do you have any evidence? " Raising her eyebrows,

Concubine Yi asked the empress with a smile, "do you have any evidence? Who else would believe

what you are saying?"

Concubine Yi had long heard that Xuanyuan Yvzhen didn't help the Crown Prince any more. She Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

looked at the empress and ridiculed, "Is it because the Fourth Prince also has the intention to seize the

throne? That's why you come to ask for the help?"

Hearing this, the empress looked at her in surprise. "How do you know?"

"Since you also know it, why can't I know?" Looking at the empress, lady Ming asked in surprise, "didn't

the empress come here for this matter?"

Hearing Concubine Yi's words, the empress could only lowered her head and said, "that's true. I came

here for this, because I'm afraid that the Fourth Prince might want to seize the throne. But I also know

that the Third Prince doesn't want the throne. Since that, why don't you support the crown prince?"

"I have to negotiate with the Ninth King on this matter. Whether he will help the Crown Prince or not is

up to him. Although the Third Prince is not interested in the throne, I know there is no one in the world

who can be compared with the Fourth Prince." Concubine Yi looked at the empress and said lightly.

Hearing this, the empress asked in surprise, "are you going to help me?"

Looking at the empress, Concubine Yi nodded her head seriously, "you're right. But I won't make a

decision for the Ninth King. After all, he has his own idea."

The empress listened to her and nodded seriously. Then she asked the maids to put down the gift and

left in a hurry.

The Ninth King walked out of the secret chamber. Looking at his figure, Concubine Yi asked

indifferently, "do you think we should help the Crown Prince win the throne or not?"
