I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Leng Jin hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression.

"The emperor is incompetent and obsessed with women all day long. He is no longer fit to be the emperor. You should take on this important task..."

"Eighth Uncle, what do you want to do? Do you want me to kill my father and seize the throne?"

Leng Jin waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, these past few days, I have discussed with several important officials in the court. We are going to report to the emperor and ask you to be the crown prince and take care of the government affairs. Otherwise, if this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later."

Leng Yiyan's brows tightened at this moment. He knew what the Eighth Uncle meant.

"Are you worried about Leng Yiheng and Leng Yifei?"

"Ah."

Leng Jin nodded heavily.

"Ever since Leng Yiheng came back from Southern Xinjiang, he has been forming cliques with your seventh uncle in the court. Now most of the officials in the court are with them."

At this point, he sighed and continued:

"Let's talk about Leng Yifei. He is very cautious in his actions. On the surface, he seems to be a prince who does not fight with the world. But he has not been idle in the past few years when you were away from the capital. According to my investigation, he secretly formed a team of more than 10,000 people, and these people are very skilled in martial arts. If he instigates a rebellion, it will threaten the safety of the court."

He had heard about these two people from Luo Nianxi, but he never expected that their power would be so huge.

"But I have no memory now, and this position may not be suitable for me."

Leng Jin looked at him firmly.

"This position belongs to you. Leng Yiheng has no scheming and always puts your seventh uncle Leng Chen first in everything. He will never achieve great things. Leng Yifei seems to be unruly, but in fact, after Mo Xiaowan disappeared, his mind became very heavy and unpredictable. If he sits on the throne of the crown prince, not only you, but all the princes with the surname Leng and all those who threaten his position will not be let go."

At this point, Leng Jin sighed heavily.

"In fact, I didn't want to be involved in the affairs of the court anymore, but I saw that the emperor was becoming more and more incompetent, and even ignored state affairs for many days for a woman. This can't go on, so I came to discuss this with you today. If you agree with this, we will go to the emperor tomorrow morning."

Leng Yiyan hesitated for a while, then spoke with some embarrassment.

"Let's not talk about whether I am competent for the job. Given my father's current state, will he agree? Even if he agrees, will Leng Yiheng and Leng Yifei give up their elaborate plan so easily and let me take the throne of the crown prince? If this causes unnecessary disputes in advance, how will we end it? Even if we can suppress them with the troops we have, there is no guarantee that civil unrest will not occur. By then, casualties are inevitable, and if things go wrong, the people will be implicated..."

Leng Jin had thought about Leng Yiyan's concerns, but he had no idea how to solve them.

He raised his hand to his forehead and looked at him intently.

"Then what can you do?"

Leng Yiyan's brows flickered slightly, and he spoke with gloomy eyes.

"My mother was murdered, so I think the person who killed my mother wanted to disintegrate the power behind me. In addition, Nian Xi was stabbed yesterday, which further confirmed my thoughts. So I am afraid that if I bring this up to the emperor at this time, the people around me will be hurt. The position of the crown prince is not important to me. The safety of my family and brothers is the most important."

At this point, he probably thought of Queen Jiang's death and Luo Nianxi's injury, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he continued:

"Eighth Uncle, if possible, you should choose another wise one! I don't want to get involved in this dispute..."

"Yan'er, it's not up to you now. Do you want to watch Pingyang Kingdom decline?"

"No matter whether Leng Yiheng or Leng Yifei becomes the crown prince, whoever ascends the throne in the future will be more suitable than me."

Leng Jin looked at him helplessly.

"Is everything I just said to you in vain?"

Leng Yiyan stood up directly.

"Eighth Uncle, Nian Xi is seriously injured. I have to go back to take care of him. Goodbye."

He seemed unwilling to say more. After paying his respects, he walked away without looking back. Even though Leng Jin called him twice from behind, he did not stop.

Ling Yun and Su Yi, who were waiting outside, saw him coming out and hurried over to greet him.

"My Lord, the Eighth Prince asked you to come here. Is there something going on?"

The prince has lost his memory, and the princess tells them that no matter what the matter is, they must ask about it and give the prince advice in time.

Leng Yiyan frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Eighth Uncle wants me to be the Crown Prince..."

After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, and Ling Xiao hurriedly asked,

"So how did you respond?"

"I didn't agree."

"Why?"

"I don't want the people around me to be hurt because of me, and I don't want to be a crown prince."

After saying this, he strode forward, took the reins from the servant, climbed on the horse, turned around and called out to the two of them,

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go back home."

Ling Xiao and Su Yi then quickly jumped on their horses and followed him, rushing towards Prince Yan's Mansion.

……

Hengwang Mansion

Leng Chen sat upright with a gloomy look on his face.

Leng Yida asked cautiously:

"Uncle Qi, are we still going to take action?"

"Humph!"

Leng Chen put down the teacup in his hand heavily and snorted coldly.

"She was lucky this time. She was able to survive even though she was shot to pieces. Next time, she won't be so lucky."

"Then I'll arrange some people..."

"Wait a minute..."

Leng Chen waved his hand.

"Right now, they will definitely take extra precautions and not be in a hurry."

"Then what should we do next?"

Leng Chen's lips curled up, and he raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"Right now, Leng Yiyan is no longer our biggest threat. Once Queen Jiang dies, he has no other backing except the military power in his hands, so he won't be able to achieve anything great in a short time."

"But the Eighth Uncle has always stood with him."

"Although your eighth uncle is smart, he is used to a comfortable life. Apart from gathering a few ministers who are on good terms with him to report to the emperor, what else can he do? Don't worry about him. Right now, we have to start with the emperor."

Leng Yiheng looked at him in confusion.

"Is it too early to abolish my father now?"

Leng Chen looked up and glared at him hatefully.

"I, your seventh uncle, am not stupid, and your mother is also a smart person. Why are you so stupid?"

Leng Yiheng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead randomly, then frowned.

"Uncle Qi, what do you mean?"

Leng Jin stood up from his seat and waved his hands impatiently.

"I'll do it, you don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that he was about to leave, he took two steps forward impatiently.

"Then what do I do?"

"Wait……"

Leng Chen turned his back and gestured to him, "Don't do anything. I will tell you when I need you to do it."

After saying this, he strode towards the door.
