Chapter 73: On the Cusp


As the sky grew dark, Situ Nan left the palace and walked straight to a restaurant in the south of the city alone.

Upon arriving at his destination, Situ Nan went straight to the second floor and entered a room.

Looking at the people who had already arrived in the room, Situ Nan nodded slightly to greet them.

"Why do you have to come so far for something important?"

Situ Nan sat down at the table, looked at Situ Ningchen and Situ Ziyang opposite, and asked in a low voice.

"The three of us brothers haven't gotten together for a long time, so I thought I'd ask you to come out and chat."

Situ Ziyang looked at Situ Nan calmly and said.

"Sit down and tell me, I have news to tell you two."

Situ Ningchen looked quite nervous compared to Situ Ziyang.

He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, then drank it all.

Situ Ningchen glanced at the two people in front of him and said in a low voice: "I heard that the ministers are planning to embarrass the emperor at the court tomorrow morning and let the emperor make the decision to establish a queen."

"The information is accurate."

Situ Nan frowned and became interested in what Situ Ningchen said.

"You can't be wrong.

They have been discussing it for many days.

Some people even sent people to the house to find me and mentioned this matter.

I see what they mean.

Most likely, they have already decided on the candidate and are just waiting for the emperor to come down.

It's done."

Situ Ningchen looked at Situ Nan with twinkling eyes and asked, "How sure do you think this matter is?"

"It's difficult."

Situ Ziyang shook his head and said.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult."

Situ Nan nodded in agreement, glanced at Situ Ziyang, and said: "If the emperor wanted to establish a queen, he would have done so long ago.

How could he wait until now.

The two of you are the most important to do this tomorrow.

It's better not to speak, no matter what you promised to anyone before, don't speak.

At this time, no one can save anyone."

"Brother Ninth, why do you think the emperor has been dragging this matter out?"

Situ Ziyang asked, changing the subject.

Situ Nan smiled softly after hearing Situ Ziyang's words.

Looking sideways at him, Situ Nan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't you all know this by heart?

The emperor has only wanted to have one person as his queen for so many years.

No matter what outsiders say, it will be in vain."

Situ Nan said something to the other two people.

The three of them had a meal in a daze, discussed the matter in a low voice, and then returned to their respective homes, waiting for the show to take place the next day.

Situ Nan had always thought that Situ Rui would at most deal with these ministers on the issue of establishing a queen, and would never fall out with them.

But what happened today took Situ Nan by surprise.

In the silent hall, a depressing atmosphere silently surrounded everyone.

Situ Nan looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with his peripheral vision, and then looked at the gloomy-looking Situ Rui on the throne, feeling that something bad was going on.

These people dare to be so bold today.

Are they really worried about the emperor, or is there someone behind them who is encouraging them to support them?

If so, who could this person be, the Queen Mother?

"If I don't promise you, you will never be able to kneel down, right?"

Situ Rui said coldly, looking at the few people who lowered their heads and said nothing, and smiled slightly.

"Since you have said this today, I would like to ask you.

According to your opinion, is there anyone in the harem who can take up the position of queen, or is it the one you have mentioned to me before?

"How many" After Situ Rui finished speaking, he continued without giving anyone a chance to answer: "Why don't you listen to me today and tell me who I want to make my queen?"

Situ Rui's words made everyone in the hall look at each other in shock.

The emperor has always rejected this topic.

What is going on today?

"I wonder which empress the emperor is interested in?"

One person boldly asked, and everyone, including Situ Nan, also pricked up their ears to hear whose name Situ Rui wanted to name, and who was so lucky to be favored by the emperor.

However, when Situ Rui said the name, everyone was stunned.

"The one I like is Shen Yunyou who is currently living in Jialing Garden.

I wonder if the ministers have any objections."

Situ Nan's eyes flashed, he never expected that Situ Rui would say Shen Yunyou's name.

The Queen Mother has always opposed the Emperor's relationship with Shen Yunyou.

Now that the Emperor said this in front of all the ministers, isn't it clear that he wants to resist the Queen Mother?

It is very likely that these people today acted like this after receiving orders from the Queen Mother.

Yes, the emperor carried Shen Yunyou out at this time.

What does it mean?

Situ Nan knew that Situ Rui had never given up on Shen Yunyou.

But Situ Rui definitely didn't trust Shen Yunyou enough to make her his queen.

By doing this, Situ Rui pushed Shen Yunyou to the forefront.

What did he want Shen Yunyou to do?

"Your Majesty, please do not ask your Majesty to think twice about this matter."

After Situ Rui finished speaking, not only the previous ministers spoke out, but also some other ministers who had nothing to do with their own business knelt down one after another to dissuade Situ Rui.

Situ Nan and others stood aside, frowning slightly.

Originally, I wanted to watch the excitement today, but looking at it now, it is very likely that I will be involved in it.

"I don't like what you say.

What I choose doesn't matter to you.

The affairs of the harem are my family affairs.

But you guys talk about my family affairs every day and discuss them privately.

Although the harmony in the harem is beneficial to The government is stable.

But now that I am in office, Qi Tianguo is not in such a state of chaos that I have to make all the ministers work hard for me every day.

Why, you don't want me to do it now.

I will establish this queen.”

Situ Rui looked at those kneeling on the ground mockingly and asked them with a sneer.

After scanning the people in the first row, Situ Rui thought for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, I want to hear your opinion."

The prime minister mentioned by Situ Rui is Hao Zhengyuan, Hao Weiwei's father.

After the decline of the Shen family and the death of Shen Zhiyuan, Liu Xinru strongly recommended this person to Situ Rui, which is why he has his current status.

When Hao Zhengyuan heard Situ Rui mention his name, he immediately trembled.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yunyou is the daughter of a guilty minister.

You must not make her your queen.

The Queen is the mother of a country.

Your Majesty, please think twice.

Otherwise, the people of the world will definitely discuss this matter and ruin the reputation of the Royal Family."

"Then according to the Prime Minister's opinion, how about I let your daughter become the queen?"

Situ Rui's words made the atmosphere in the main hall, which was already not quite right, become even weirder.

Hao Zhengyuan was too frightened to say anything, and the others were too nervous to take a breath.

Almost everyone present has a daughter or relative who is a concubine in the palace.

The emperor has already made fun of Hao Weiwei and directed the conversation at Hao Zhengyuan.

Who else dares to make trouble for themselves?

Situ Rui watched everyone bow their heads in silence, and raised the corners of his mouth with a smile of satisfaction.

Glancing sideways at the people standing nearby, Situ Rui set his sights on Situ Nan.

"The establishment of a queen is considered a family matter.

Prince Nanjun is my younger brother, so you might as well tell me.

Do you have anything to say?"

Situ Nan looked at Situ Rui steadily, not understanding what he meant by suddenly saying this.

What does the matter of becoming a queen have to do with yourself?

"There are many concubines in the harem, but no one understands the advantages and benefits of each of them as clearly as the emperor.

The ministers are only worried about the emperor regarding the establishment of a queen, but in the end, it is still the emperor's own business."

Situ Nan thought again and again and spoke cautiously.

These people in front of me are all Liu Xinru's people.

It is a difficult problem to not offend the Queen Mother and satisfy the Emperor at the same time.

Situ Rui stood up with a smile on his face and nodded slightly in the direction of Situ Nan.

"For the matter of establishing a queen, if you ministers have a suitable candidate, they can come to the palace to discuss it with me privately.

I don't want to talk about this matter in the hall anymore.

If you come to force me again, then I will directly establish Shen Yunyou.

It’s better for the future.”

After Situ Rui finished speaking, he looked at everyone looking at each other and continued: "I understand your good intentions for me.

But you can't do anything too hastily, otherwise it will be bad if I mistakenly think that you are trying to force me to marry you.

Do you understand?”

After Situ Rui finished speaking, he strode away, leaving everyone uneasy where they were.

Situ Nan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after Situ Rui left.

Looking back at Situ Ziyang and Situ Ningchen behind them, the three of them looked at each other and walked outside in unison.

"What does your Majesty mean today?"

Situ Ningchen asked Situ Nan in a low voice after walking out of the hall.

"Who knows."

Situ Nan replied meaningfully to Situ Ningchen, also guessing what Situ Rui was thinking.

Could it be that he deliberately made things difficult for himself because of his refusal to go to Longming Country a few days ago?

Situ Rui walked towards the palace in a good mood.

The faces of those ministers just now appeared in his mind.

Situ Rui's eyes flashed coldly, and he had already made plans to fall out with them if they mentioned this matter again.

He has already mentioned Shen Yunyou.

These people are also taboo about Shen Yunyou's name.

Even if it cannot scare them for the rest of their lives, it can still be enough for a while.

Returning to the palace, Situ Rui paused after walking into the room and said to the guard guarding the door: "Go and call Shen Yunyou for me."

Shen Yunyou had just finished eating with Chen'er, but she didn't expect Situ Rui to be in a hurry to find her so early in the morning.

After handing Chen'er to Jin Cheng, Shen Yunyou hurried to Situ Rui's palace.

Seeing Situ Rui sitting behind the table in a good mood and looking at him, Shen Yunyou frowned and asked, "Does the Emperor have anything happy to tell me?"

"I have told all the ministers in the main hall today that I will make you my queen."

"What?"

Shen Yunyou opened his eyes wide and looked at Situ Rui in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
