Chapter 1224: What Everyone Expected

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Emperor had initially intended to favor the Crown Prince. Now that the court no longer had any objections, he directly decided that the Crown Prince would ascend the throne next year.

This joyous event had spread all over the outside world!

Xie Pinghuai did not expect that his own sister would not know about it!

Meng Jifang opened his mouth and glanced at Xie Qiao. Finally, he snorted and turned his head.

The Crown Prince ascending the throne… was pretty good.

He used to think that the Crown Prince was cold and indifferent. Every time he returned to the capital, he would cause a bloodbath and investigate all kinds of cases. The execution ground would be filled with rivers of blood. Even his good friends from the academy were dragged into exile because of his investigation. In his heart, he thought that the Crown Prince was looking for trouble for no reason. On the surface, he was benevolent, but on the inside, he was ruthless.

However, this time…

In order to save him, he stayed at the Taoist temple for a few days. He was even willing to share hardships with the Princess Consort and resign…

After the ritual was over, the imperial physician went to see the children and took them seriously.

This person was not as hypocritical and scary as he thought.

At this moment, Xie Qiao was only a little surprised. She was not even shocked.

The Crown Prince had been accumulating good karma for the past two years, and he had the protection of dragon energy. To put it simply, it was the life of a true dragon emperor, and it would not be easy for him to resign.

Furthermore, Zhao Xuanjing’s move to resign was not foolish.

The Fourth Prince had a gentle nature. Even if he became the emperor, he could still keep the Crown Prince safe. These years, the Crown Prince did not form parties for personal gain, so he did not have to worry about being feared by the new emperor. Of course, this was the worst outcome.

All these years, many people in the imperial court had proposed to depose the Crown Prince. Even if the Crown Prince pretended not to see it and successfully ascended the throne in the future, there would definitely be a lot of gossip in the imperial court. They might even have to clean it up.

Taking a step back now also let the courtiers know that they had no choice at all.

This throne was something they were eager for the Crown Prince to take. It was what everyone expected.

In the future, the records of Zhao Xuanjing in history would be even more favorable. He was obviously disabled, but he was still supported by all the officials. It was evident that his virtue was rare in the world.

Unfortunately, for instance, Marquis Meng could only suffer this loss.

Xie Qiao even suspected that the Crown Prince had communicated with his two younger brothers earlier…

Not to mention other things, the Crown Prince’s ability to deceive people was still very good.

Xie Qiao naturally would not say these to Xie Pinghuai. This silly kid still had to learn to think on his own.

Xie Qiao was quite bored, so she got her younger brother and sister to stay in the Crown Prince’s residence for a while.

However, at night, Mo Lingzi mysteriously returned from outside with a Taoist master from Yuxu Temple.

After calling Xie Qiao over, he said to the Taoist master with a serious expression, “This is my disciple. I can see that she’s very blessed now. Her appearance is slightly different from before, but… I’m afraid that I’ve made a mistake. You can calculate it later.”

If they were too close, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes!

Xie Qiao was dumbfounded.

The Taoist master was very old, and he looked very helpless.

However, he seemed to have a good personality. When he looked at her, his expression was still quite calm.

Mo Lingzi did not forget to take out her eight characters and let the Taoist master take a closer look.

The Taoist master calculated for a long time and then carefully looked at her palm. After a long time, he said, “The Princess Consort has a short life. It is not easy to be born with a rough life. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger.”

“However, Your Highness has a lot of good fortune. I saw that… There seems to be some changes in this fate.” The master stroked his beard. “Has something happened to Your Highness recently?”

“Something happened?” Xie Qiao was stunned.

Mo Lingzi clapped his hands. “I knew it! This girl saved seven children who were just born. How can such a great kindness not be repaid at all?!”
