When the Sixth Prince heard this, he sneered in his heart.

He was sure that the more anxious Pei Ding was to help the twelfth prince become the crown prince, the more his father would be wary of him.

On the contrary, my father would not be so quick to give the position of crown prince to the twelfth prince.

Pei Ding's actions were indirectly helping him...

Help him stop worrying about the twelfth prince being chosen as the crown prince by his father. Humph, what a fool who has lost his mind due to anxiety.

Pei Ding has lived for so many years and has been used for so many years, but he still doesn't know his father's true nature. How pitiful...

The court officials from the twelfth prince's party also had unhappy expressions on their faces.

Everyone knows what the emperor's character is like.

Pei Ding said this obviously to help their twelfth prince.

But what is the real purpose?

Just when everyone in the hall fell into silence, Ma Xiao, who had been quiet nearby, suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think what Duke Xin said makes sense. After the death of the former crown prince, the position of crown prince has been vacant for a long time.

The country is unstable.

But among the adult princes, only His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is currently of the right age to become the crown prince.

But His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is now in poor health and is no longer suitable for the position of crown prince.

But apart from the Sixth Prince, the oldest person in the court was only the Twelfth Prince.

If we judge the crown prince based on age, then it must be His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince."

Ma Xiao's words were sincere and heartfelt.

The left prime minister Dou Yu over there rolled his eyes slightly.

There was no expression on his face, he just lowered his head, as if he didn't hear what Ma Xiao said.

As for what he was thinking, it was not clear.

At this moment, the Minister of Justice beside the Sixth Prince stood up anxiously with a sullen face.

He is the head of the Zhang family, the Empress Dowager's maternal family.

"Reporting to the emperor, from ancient times to the present, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children has been clear. I never knew when, when appointing a crown prince, the emperor would skip the legitimate son and appoint the second son instead!"

This man looked similar to the empress dowager, but when he suddenly heard Pei Ding's proposal to establish a crown prince, his face became gloomy.

His face looked a bit more sinister than the Empress Dowager's, who had enjoyed happiness for many years.

He was a staunch supporter of the Sixth Prince. When he suddenly heard Pei Ding's proposal to establish a crown prince, how could he not fight for his own Sixth Prince?

Besides, the emperor is the descendant of their Zhang family, so the crown prince must naturally be a child of their Zhang family.

Ma E, sitting on the throne, took in the expressions of the court officials below. The emperor agreed with the words of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and nodded.

Just when he was about to scold Pei Ding.

She pinched her throat and suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Your Majesty."

In the court, all the officials were thinking about the emperor's successor and did not dare to say too much.

Ma E's voice attracted everyone's attention.

Some people saw that Ma E's outer coat had been taken off by the emperor, and they turned their heads away as if to avoid suspicion, not daring to look at her any longer.

"My beloved, what's wrong?" The emperor turned his head and asked, and then hugged Ma E in his arms.

Ma E smiled slightly: "I was thinking, if Duke Xin wants to make the twelfth prince the crown prince, is it to prevent the State of Yan from thinking that our Zhao's government is unstable and then taking the opportunity to disrupt the order of our Zhao..."

As soon as Ma E said this, the emperor frowned slightly and began to think.

The Sixth Prince below could not help but sneer, thinking that whether or not a crown prince was appointed had nothing to do with whether Yan would disturb Zhao.

When the crown prince was appointed before, the State of Yan did not seem to be very peaceful.

Aren't there still frequent frictions with the State of Zhao?

He rolled his eyes and winked at the Minister of Justice beside him, asking him to refute Ma E.

But suddenly, the emperor on the top seemed to be reminded.

He nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, yes, my beloved is absolutely right.

The people of Yan are not honest and always want to do some small things to our great country Zhao.

It’s also thanks to my beloved concubine for reminding me.

Hahahaha, I have a beloved concubine, it is my blessing!"

The emperor pinched Ma E's shoulder, ignoring the shocked and strange looks of the court officials below.

He immediately waved his hand and said happily: "Since my beloved concubine said so, then let the twelfth prince be the crown prince.

It will also prevent the State of Yan from eyeing us covetously."

The court officials were immediately shocked, especially the elderly ministers, who all said, "You must not do this, Your Majesty!"

"How can you believe a woman's joke?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, when we established the Crown Prince, the Yan State also had its eyes on us.

How can it be possible that the diplomatic issues between the two countries can be resolved just by establishing a crown prince?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's position is a matter of national importance. How can we let a concubine decide on this with just one word?"

The court officials were dissatisfied, but the emperor had already listened to Ma E's words. Under the influence of the insect, he waved his hand impatiently.

"My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense. I have made up my mind. Please do not say any more!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the left prime minister Dou Yu was the first to kneel down and said, "I will obey your majesty's orders."

When he knelt, the court officials who belonged to the twelfth prince's party followed suit and knelt on the ground.

Shouting "Long live His Majesty".

The officials of the Sixth Prince's party were very angry.

The Sixth Prince stood aside and saw things unfold so dramatically.

The tooth root was almost broken.

Why did the emperor listen to Ma E, a cheap woman? He could easily believe such outrageous remarks.

What kind of magic potion did this woman give to my father?

Such an unreasonable thing could be easily changed by a woman like Ma E with just one word, making the emperor change his mind.

The emperor on the top waved his hand casually, then put his arm around Ma E's slender waist and strode out of the court.

Although the emperor was gone, the court officials were still busy with their own plans.

Although everyone was quiet in the court for a while, the various calculations in their eyes had already leaped out of the court like a beast with its mouth wide open.

After Pei Ding stood up, he took the time to look in the direction of the Sixth Prince and found that there was a thin trace of blood at the corner of his eye.

It seems that the poison that Mingcheng and Fuchuan had put on him has begun to take effect.

The poison that was placed on Ma E was also very effective, making the emperor so obedient and well behaved. It was like ordering a dog around, haha...

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Pei Ding's mouth.

When he turned around, he saw the Left Prime Minister Dou Yu bowing towards him from a distance.

Pei Ding waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to leave the hall.

Now that the position of crown prince has been decided, the Sixth Prince is about to reach the end of his life.

The two princes who bullied his Mingcheng will soon die.

very nice……

As soon as Pei Ding left the palace, he saw his daughter sitting in the carriage.

Holding a bird that looks very similar to Xiaoqing.

He was still looking down at a letter seriously.

Pei Ding was a little curious: "Who sent the letter?"

Pei Chun stuffed the paper into his sleeves, put on a very obvious smile, and rubbed his red ears: "It's Gu Yuan, he got rid of many troublesome court officials in Western Xinjiang.

As long as Gu Chen recovers, the two of them can exchange their identities back."
