Sheng Nanzhi learned the news early on and is now completely calm.

Once I calmed down, I started to think things through.

It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to really make Wen Tingyun a prince.

In this situation, the emperor must have a reason for doing this.

The reason she could think of was that what Wen Tingyun did was considered an extremely shameful thing in the royal family.

It will not only affect Wen Tingyun, but may even affect the reputation of the entire royal family.

Therefore, the emperor could not make these scandals public, and could not use this as an excuse to get rid of Wen Tingyun.

Therefore, he chose to appoint Wen Tingyun as the crown prince.

The emperor did this on purpose to...

In order to make Wen Tingyun a target of public criticism.

Wen Tingyun had just been recognized by the royal family and had not yet established his power.

If he were to be named the crown prince at this time and the emperor's favor towards him were made public, there would surely be countless people who would try every possible means to get rid of Wen Tingyun.

If Wen Tingyun died in the fight for the throne because of this.

That has nothing to do with these scandals or the emperor.

Not only could the emperor get rid of Wen Tingyun in a natural way, he could even take the opportunity to test the attitudes of his court officials towards Prince Wen Tingyun.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

should be.

Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled. "It's okay. We're not in a hurry. Who becomes the crown prince has nothing to do with us."

Nanny Jin didn't think so: "It really doesn't matter to us who becomes the crown prince, but it can't be Wen Tingyun!"

"During the previous incident in the palace, the princess and Concubine Hua thoroughly offended Wen Tingyun and his mother."

"If Wen Tingyun really becomes the crown prince, the first people he will target and eliminate will be you, Princess, and Concubine Hua."

This is true.

Wen Tingyun may not know that the emperor made him the crown prince in order to get rid of him.

At this moment, he should be feeling smug, right?

Having finally gained the upper hand, he would certainly not tolerate the fact that I had climbed over his head before.

but……

She's not someone to be trifled with.

It would be fine if Wen Tingyun didn't target her. She could just stay calm and watch him destroy himself.

If he insists on targeting her, then don't blame her, you're welcome.

She would make him die in a very ugly way.

"Madam, don't worry. His Majesty has ordered that I stay in Prince Yi's mansion to take care of my pregnancy. Even Wen Tingyun, the crown prince, cannot touch me."

Sheng Nanzhi suddenly realized that the emperor might have already planned to get rid of Wen Tingyun that day.

That's why he ordered her to stay in Prince Yi's Mansion to take good care of her pregnancy.

This is... protecting the baby in her belly.

"As for the Imperial Concubine..."

Sheng Nanzhi curled her lips and said, "Xian Fei and Wen Tingyun don't have a strong family to rely on. Even if they gain power for a while, they will definitely not be able to threaten Hua Guifei."

"Besides, His Majesty will not allow it."

After all, Concubine Hua is different from other concubines now.

Concubine Hua had no children.

There was no risk of helping his son murder the emperor and seize the throne.

Moreover, Concubine Hua's mother's family is powerful and influential.

The emperor still has to rely on Concubine Hua's mother's family.

The emperor would certainly not allow anything to happen to a concubine like this.

Concubine Xian and Wen Tingyun were just abandoned pawns.

How could the emperor allow a discarded piece to swallow up his best chess piece?

Nanny Jin had also been in the palace for more than twenty years. After hearing what Sheng Nanzhi said, she immediately calmed down and became sober.

I gradually figured out a lot of things.

"Yes, His Majesty will never let him touch the Princess and the Imperial Concubine."

……

No matter how chaotic the outside world was, Sheng Nanzhi stayed in Prince Yi's Mansion, quiet and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Only in the evening did the Sheng family send some news.

"We followed the princess's instructions and caused Concubine Liu to experience mild abdominal pain. We then sent a doctor to the palace to check Concubine Liu's pulse and informed Prime Minister Sheng that the baby in Concubine Liu's belly was a boy."

"Prime Minister Sheng was a little surprised, but also very happy."

"Madam Liu took the opportunity to say that the baby in her belly was a boy, but the pregnancy was not stable, and she asked the master to let her stay in the imperial city to nurture the baby."

"Prime Minister Sheng agreed."

Sheng Nanzhi was not surprised, as she had long known how much Sheng Lin wanted a son.

What's more, Wen Tingyun has now become the crown prince.

"Madam Liu has also learned that His Majesty has appointed the Seventh Prince as Crown Prince. Madam Liu is overjoyed and immediately wants to go to the Seventh Prince's residence to ask for an audience and ask him to find a way to rescue Sheng Qingqian."

Sheng Nanzhi laughed. She, the concubine, was as naive as Sheng Qingqian.

That is the crime of confusing the royal bloodline.

That's the Heavenly Prison.

Is it possible that Sheng Qingqian can just go in and out as she says?

"But he was stopped by Prime Minister Sheng."

"Prime Minister Sheng told her to return to her own courtyard to take care of her pregnancy. He said he had his own plans for Sheng Qingqian's matter and asked Concubine Liu not to act rashly."

Sheng Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth: "The person who should know about this great news the most is my third sister."

"If Third Sister knew that Wen Tingyun became the crown prince, she would be overjoyed."

Sheng Qingqian would certainly look forward to it every day, hoping that Wen Tingyun would release her and tell her that from now on, she would be the Crown Princess.

Sheng Nanzhi laughed, his eyes dark.

That is... Shi Huaizhi has been in the palace for a day, why hasn't he returned yet?

It was not until midnight that Sheng Nanzhi realized someone was lying next to her.

The bed sank slightly, causing her to wake up suddenly.

She opened her eyes almost immediately, secretly on guard.

In the darkness of the night, she couldn't see the other person's face, but she smelled a familiar fragrance first.

It was Huai River at that time.

She felt a little relieved. "Didn't you go into the palace to gather information? Why did you spend a whole day investigating?"

"The news that Wen Tingyun has been named the crown prince is already known throughout the city. Have you not yet investigated it?"

Shi Huaizhi's mouth curled up slightly. Is Sheng Nanzhi... worried about him?

He quickly said, "I made some arrangements in the palace, so I came back late."

"Why are you not sleeping yet?"

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips and said, "I can't sleep. I always feel nervous."

In the darkness of the night, the corners of Shi Huaizhi's mouth rose even higher: "Don't worry, Wen Tingyun can't cause any trouble."

"Even...I won't live long."

When Sheng Nanzhi heard him say this, she immediately perked up: "Really? Did Your Majesty do this on purpose?"

"You deliberately made Wen Tingyun the crown prince just to take his life?"

"Ah."

Shi Huaizhi sneered: "He wouldn't do something like killing his own son himself."

"He's always been very good at using a knife to kill someone."

"Just like before, to me."

"But this time, it's Wen Tingyun's turn."

"But Wen Tingyun obviously doesn't know yet. He doesn't have a clear understanding of the emperor yet."
