Chapter 0596 concubine inference
"Your Highness, my husband and others are incompetent, causing your highness to die. I also ask Your Highness to be punished..." Headed by Blair, many ministers knelt down at the same time.
The two princes died, which was already their dereliction of duty. The most important point was that no clue was found. This was a big mistake. If you don’t admit your mistake at this time, when will you wait? Haven’t you seen the nephew of Your Highness kneel on the ground? Even if you really have to discuss something, you have to admit your mistake before discussing it, right?
"I am incompetent, so I would like to ask Your Highness to punish you..." Duke Lantis, Duke Milan, Duke William and other nobles with duke titles also bent down to salute Elizabeth under the leadership of Lantis. As Dukes, they do not have to kneel down even when meeting the emperor.
"What's the use of giving sins now? I want you to come up with a plan quickly. The position of the monarch has been empty for so long. Are you planning to stay empty forever?" Although I knew these people were in the process, Elizabeth couldn't help but snorted angrily.
The scene suddenly fell silent. If it were in the past, the leader of Landis would definitely praise the third prince, and some diehards would definitely also praise the eldest prince, and then there was a quarrel. But now, the two princes are gone, who should inherit it?
There are two princes in the palace, but they are less than ten years old and not even adult. Could it be the second prince?
Many people dare not speak this. Anyone knows that the third prince has always disliked the second prince. Moreover, the second prince was sent overseas by the advanced emperor early to serve as a general in the army. He has no foundation in the court. Even if he ascended the throne, can he convince the public? In this case, even if he knew that the second prince had a very good relationship with the eldest prince, Marquis Chris and others would not dare to speak rashly.
After all, although the eldest prince does not have a strong backstage, he is still the crown prince after all. However, he can get some old and stubborn support, and the second prince does not have such an advantage.
"Sir, you are the Prime Minister of the Empire. What should you do now?" Seeing that no one spoke, Elizabeth said to Blair standing in front.
"Your Highness, the two princes suffered misfortune. This is my pain for Da Ying. The fourth prince and the fifth prince are young this year and do not understand government affairs at all. If the imperial concubine asks me for advice, I am wondering if I should ask the second prince to come back to take charge of the overall situation?" Although I know that saying such words would offend the third prince, Blair could not care about it for the uncertainty of the British Empire.
He was the prime minister appointed by the late emperor, and the target of his loyalty to the late emperor, the entire British Empire. Although he was not from the eldest prince faction, he had always supported the eldest prince in inheriting the throne. In his opinion, the eldest prince was orthodox, but His Majesty's death was indeed too strange. He could not guarantee that it was not the eldest prince's deeds, so he remained silent.
However, now the two princes who were able to inherit the throne in the British Empire have all died, and only the second prince is left, so he doesn't need to hesitate any more.
"Yes, Lord Blair's idea is very correct. Our top priority is to invite His Highness the Second Prince back. He is the only prince who can take charge of the overall situation now..." To everyone's surprise, Elizabeth not only did not object to Blair's opinion, but instead expressed affirmation. As soon as this said, the Duke of Milan was the most popular. He was still thinking about how to propose the Second Prince? Who knew that Blair was the first to mention it, and Elizabeth actually affirmed it directly. In this way, he would not have to do anything else. He just needed to follow the normal trajectory.
"What the Empress is saying is that the fourth prince and the fifth prince are still young, so we can only ask the second prince to come back and take charge of the overall situation..." Seeing Elizabeth letting go, the others also expressed their opinions. No matter whether they were willing or not, no one opposed the second prince's return at this moment.
Many people have begun to think about how to invest in their hearts? As we all know, the second prince has no background and is the one with the least hope of inheriting the throne, but who can think that now is the most likely to ascend the throne, and what kind of bet should be made at this time? Should we make a heavier one? If the second prince successfully inherits the throne, it may be an unexpected gain for them.
Several dukes remained silent. When things developed to such a step, they could only do this. As for Elizabeth, she waved her hand exhausted and announced her retreat directly. Seeing her physical and mental exhausted appearance, people including Lantis sighed softly, especially Lantis, who knew his daughter's thoughts, but he didn't care. As long as the heir to the throne was his grandson and the blood of the Charles family, he didn't care who the regime was in. Even if his daughter controlled the regime, it would be of great benefit to the entire Landis family.
But now her grandson is gone, and her daughter’s greatest hope is gone. How can she accept this?
I wanted to go forward to persuade my daughter, but when I saw her daughter's tired posture, I stopped...
After Elizabeth returned to the bedroom, she saw Su staying in her bedroom. Not far away, the shadow looked at him with a vigilant look on his face.
"You go back..." Wave at the shadow and Elizabeth whispered softly.
Shadow bowed and retreated respectfully. In the huge bedroom, there were only Miao Xu and her.
"How is it? Are there any clues?" Miao Xu asked lightly. Now he is no longer interested in who inherits the throne. He only wants to avenge Long Yuxuan and Xiao Wuchen.
No matter who is involved in this matter, he must die!
"No, no matter it is the ordnance or personnel, there is no problem..." Elizabeth shook her head.
"No problem?" Miao Xu snorted lightly, but his murderous eyes locked on Elizabeth.
Feeling Miao Xu's terrifying murderous intent, Elizabeth was like a newborn bird facing an adult dragon. The third imperial concubine couldn't help but tremble.
"Su, what are you...what are you going to do?" She still finds it hard to understand why this guy is even more sad and angry than himself when his son dies?
"What are you doing? You are the Grand Princess of the Third Imperial Princess. Your son is dead. After checking for so long, there is no clue at all? Do you believe it?" Miao Xu snorted coldly, his body had already stood up and walked towards Elizabeth step by step.
"You... are you suspicious of me?" Elizabeth's face changed drastically.
"I don't want to doubt you, because at this time, Your Highness's death will not do you any good, but..." Miao Xu grabbed Elizabeth's tender neck and roared directly: "But you told me there was no clue at all. That's a heavy weapon, hundreds of shells, such a huge amount, there was no clue at all. If there was no big man behind the scenes, would you believe it?" Miao Xu's face was ferocious, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.
When Miao Xu grabbed her neck, Elizabeth's breathing was very difficult, and her face quickly turned blue and purple, but when she heard Miao Xu's last words, she suddenly thought of something.
"Su, let me go, I know who it is, I know who it is..." Elizabeth did not call for help at all, because she knew that even if she found a guard like Miao Xu, she would definitely die. In his hands, no one could save her.
"Who?" Miao Xu let go of Elizabeth.
"Duke of Milan, if so many arms disappear silently, he can only do this in the British Empire. Apart from him, no one can leave this batch of arms unfounded..." Elizabeth said quickly, but even she couldn't believe why the Duke of Milan did this? The Duke of Milan was on his own side, and he also promised him many benefits? At this time, why did he murder the third prince? Could it be that he secretly supported the eldest prince? But if he really wanted to support the eldest prince, he shouldn't have stood on his own side at the beginning? With his support, the William family would definitely support it, and at least not help each other. At that time, with the identity of the eldest prince, the crown prince, he would definitely be able to ascend the throne smoothly unless he launched a mutiny? Why did he go around such a big circle?
Could it be that he secretly supported other princes? The second prince?
Suddenly, Elizabeth's whole body was cold. The second prince had been in the army for many years, starting from a private, and becoming the commander-in-chief of the Third Navy and the rank of lieutenant general. Among them was the guilt of the late emperor, but there was also some care of the Duke of Milan. If it were not for his care, how could the second prince have been smooth sailing?
If he secretly supports the second prince, then everything makes sense. Standing on his own side and fighting against the eldest prince with him and others is to avoid giving the eldest prince a chance to ascend the throne, then send someone to kill his son, and then find a way to overthrow all the blame to the eldest prince? Then at this time, the second prince who has no hope of inheriting the throne becomes the best heir?
He didn't even take action at all, but just provided some arms for the eldest prince. With his status, it was not difficult to do this without knowing it.
What a terrible scheming, what a terrible scheming.
Fortunately, the eldest prince was killed by Su by chance, so he didn't even need an excuse to frame the eldest prince. He naturally supported the second prince to ascend the throne. With the feelings he and the second prince had cultivated over the years, after the second prince ascended the throne, he naturally gained the greatest benefits. After all, the second prince still needed a great noble like him as the backstage?
Such a transaction is much better than supporting one's son ascending to the throne.
