Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"Nonsense, do you know what you are talking about?"

Prime Minister Zhao's face darkened. He never expected that Zhao Lanxue's suggestion was actually treason.

If they wanted to rebel, they would have done it long ago. Why would they wait until now?

Zhao Lanxue saw that everyone present lowered their heads and disagreed with her suggestion, so she chuckled.

"Your Highness originally had the absolute advantage, but it was because of your indecision that you gave up the opportunity."

Hearing this, Nan Rongxin subconsciously tightened his hands, and there was some strange fluctuation in his eyes, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

"What do you, a girl, know about government affairs? Stop messing around here."

Prime Minister Zhao's face was so dark that ink could drip out. He had always been the leader of the eldest prince's side, and now that the situation was gradually weakening, it was naturally his responsibility.

Zhao Lanxue said it so blatantly, which was a slap in the face of his father.

Zhao Lanxue raised her eyes to look at the officials present, then glanced at the eldest prince, and saw that none of them had any other expression.

With a helpless smile, she said, "Since you all don't have the courage, then just pretend that I didn't say anything today. Goodbye."

Just as Zhao Lanxue was about to turn around and leave, Nan Rongxin suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, this prince thinks what my cousin said makes sense."

"Your Highness, you must not do this. Conspiring against your Highness will damage your reputation, and even if you succeed, it will affect your wisdom."

Prime Minister Zhao tried to stop them, "This is really a bad idea. We haven't reached that point yet."

After all, they still have a great advantage. If Nan Rongxin rebels, it will be a desperate move.

If he fails, he will never have a chance to turn things around and no one can save him.

"When will that be?" Zhao Lanxue looked at her father, not afraid at all. "Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. I don't know how long he can hold on. If we delay, Nan Rongzhi will ascend the throne. By then, it will be too late to regret."

"My cousin is right. This prince can't wait any longer." Nan Rongxin's eyes flashed with a sinister look. "All this was forced upon me by my father."

"He is stupid and foolish, and has been bewitched by a witch. We are not plotting a rebellion, but are trying to purge him."

As if he had suddenly found a legitimate reason, Nan Rongxin's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and looked at Prime Minister Zhao, "Prime Minister, my father is seriously ill and unconscious. The Queen and Nan Rongzhi are using this to confuse him and make my father appoint her as the Crown Princess. This is really bringing chaos to the world and putting the people of the world in dire straits."

"We are not plotting a rebellion. We are trying to save our father and the people of the world. We want our father to wake up and take back his order."

His previous countermeasure was to resign from office and force the emperor, but now he is plotting a rebellion to force the emperor. In comparison, the chances of success of rebellion are greater. If the emperor insists on his own way, he can replace him.

He is now in his thirties and can no longer wait like this.

"Your Highness is right. We are not rebelling. We are trying to clear out the emperor's entourage. The emperor has been bewitched, so what we are doing is only natural."

Zhao Lanxue nodded and agreed with what the eldest prince said.

"How can a woman become the ruler of Nanrong Kingdom? Your Majesty is foolish."

"Zhao Lanxue." Prime Minister Zhao's face turned red with anger and he turned around and knelt down in front of the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, you must not act rashly on this matter. Although we have a lot of power, we are always short of soldiers. We can't accomplish anything by relying solely on the troops in the hands of the Minister of War."

Prime Minister Zhao advised earnestly, "Lan Xue is a girl and doesn't understand the intricacies of the court. Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense."

As he spoke, he glared at Zhao Lanxue again, warning her not to talk nonsense anymore.

Nan Rongxin did listen to his words. He did not have enough troops and was not sure he could force the emperor to abdicate.

If he transferred troops from other places, the noise would be too loud and would definitely be noticed by Nan Rongzhi. By then they would be prepared and he would have lost the initiative.

But as Zhao Lanxue said, now is the best time. If we miss it, who knows what the situation will be like when Nan Rongzhi ascends the throne.

Not all of his officials were loyal to him and would never betray him. For example, the Zheng family had already defected to Nan Rongzhi.

The longer he waited, the better it seemed to be.

Although every word Prime Minister Zhao said made sense, he was indeed too indecisive, just like his mother.

He had said at the beginning that the Queen should not give birth to Nan Rongzhi, but his mother did not take it seriously, saying that the Queen was pregnant with a daughter and it would not affect her.

Unexpectedly, the queen came up with the idea of ​​replacing a man with a girl and deceived them for many years.

Nan Rongzhi is now very powerful, and even if her identity as a woman is revealed, she can still occupy a place in the court.

If she had been eliminated early on, there wouldn't have been so many problems later.

He has already lost one chance and cannot lose the second chance.

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Zhao Lanxue again. Since she had the courage to offer advice, she must have a perfect idea.

"Cousin, what's your plan for the shortage of troops?"

Zhao Lanxue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly, "We don't have enough troops, but if we add the troops from the King of Zhennan, then it will definitely be enough."

"King Zhennan?"

Hearing this answer, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had always been at odds with the Prince of Zhennan, so how could he help the eldest prince?

As if she understood what everyone was thinking, Zhao Lanxue continued, "We are indeed not in the same camp as the King of Zhennan. He has his own ambitions, but Your Highness, don't forget that the biggest winner now is Nan Rongzhi."

"The Third Prince is in the most difficult situation in the court right now. The Prince of Zhennan and we have a common goal, which is to get rid of the Crown Princess. Only in this way can he have a chance."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At least we can cooperate this time."

"But this uncle of mine has a strong character. He may not agree with the decision to rebel."

Nan Rongxin had no confidence in the Prince of Zhennan. On the one hand, his uncle wanted to support Nan Rongjing, but on the other hand, he was loyal to his father. He could not see through him or understand him.

Putting your hopes on him is not a good idea.

"Your Highness, I have a way to convince the King of Zhennan to join."

Zhao Lanxue said seriously, "I am also willing to go to the Zhennan Palace to help His Highness."

“Do you really have a solution?” Nan Rongxin frowned, not quite understanding why Zhao Lanxue was so confident.

"As long as His Highness has made the decision, I can go to the Zhennan Palace immediately. The prince will definitely agree."

Zhao Lanxue explained, "In the prince's heart, the most important thing is Nanrong Country. He doesn't want the future of Nanrong Country to be handed over to a woman."

"He has no chance, just like us."
