Chapter 1573: Assessing the Situation

Guan Fei did not expect that the eldest prince would be so unyielding, but it was not surprising if he thought about it. After all, this was a major matter involving the throne, and the eldest prince would never be willing to just watch his throne being taken away.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince, please don't wrongly accuse a good person! Over the years, I have been loyal to Your Majesty and have done a lot of things for Your Majesty. To put it bluntly, Your Majesty trusts me more than you." Guan Fei looked at it. Looking at the eldest prince, he said: "Furthermore, His Majesty is said to be the Eighth Prince. This was said by His Majesty himself, and everyone present can prove it."

Guan Fei looked at the maids, eunuchs and imperial doctors in the palace, and said calmly: "Tell His Highness the First Prince, did His Majesty personally say that he wants to pass the news on to His Highness the Eighth Prince?"

this......

The eunuchs, maids, and doctors looked at each other with hesitation.

Who is able to hang out in the palace and still survive, who is not a thoughtful person?

They had just witnessed the whole process in the palace. Because they were too far away, they could not hear clearly what Zhao Qian and Guan Fei were talking about. Therefore, they were not sure whether Zhao Qian really said that.

Zhao Qian unexpectedly deposed the eldest prince and replaced him with the eighth prince. Not to mention the others, they were also surprised. However, they were soft-spoken and it was such a sensitive matter. Even if they had thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to Speak easily.

However, there was no way to escape. Guan Fei directly pulled them out, and everyone else looked at them, obviously waiting for their answer.

"Tell me!" Guan Fei urged with a gloomy face, "Tell me what you know!"

"Yes... His Majesty personally changed the name to the eighth prince." After hesitating for a moment, a famous imperial doctor spoke first.

"Yes, His Majesty said it, and we all heard it."

"That's right, what Mr. Guan said is true."

Others echoed.

When they have to make a choice, these people can only assess the situation and make the choice that is most beneficial to them.

First of all, they did see Zhao Qian talking to Guan Fei at that time. They did not hear the specific content. However, after Guan Fei repeated those words, Zhao Qian did not refute. From this point of view, what Guan Fei said should be There was no problem, even though it was quite surprising, but Zhao Qian himself didn't express any objection, so it was hard for them to say anything.

Secondly, although the status of the eldest prince is higher than Guan Fei, Guan Fei has the final say in the palace now. There is no guarantee that after they say something unfavorable to Guan Fei, they will be retaliated by Guan Fei. By then, they will die without knowing it. How did he die?

Therefore, these people who were able to hang out in the palace quickly made a decision.

And this decision was obviously quite unfavorable to the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince, did you hear that? I did not make up what I just said, it was indeed said by your majesty." Guan Fei looked at the eldest prince and said: "It seems that your majesty has been dissatisfied with you for a long time, but before It has never been made public. When he was dying, His Majesty made the decision to depose you as the crown prince for the sake of Xiu Feng Kingdom. This decision is difficult for you to accept. I understand this, but this It is indeed His Majesty’s will, you should obey it!”

"No, this is impossible! This is impossible!" The eldest prince yelled with a pale face and excitement, quite losing his temper.

Everyone was neither surprised nor despised by his reaction. If they put themselves in his shoes, no one would react any better than the eldest prince when encountering such a thing.

Guan Fei looked at the eldest prince with a sneer, not feeling the slightest bit distressed in his heart. What he wanted was to control the entire Xiu Feng Kingdom. The eldest prince's ascension to the throne was obviously not good for him. In this case, he could only sacrifice the eldest prince.

"Let the news of His Majesty's death be announced to the world." Guan Fei arranged in the appearance of a master: "In addition, we can start preparing for the enthronement ceremony of His Highness the Eighth Prince. After all, a country cannot be without a king for a day. The Eighth Prince is young, His Majesty Before I pass away, please let me teach him carefully, assist him well, and express my gratitude for His grace. Even if I have to work hard, I will not let down His Majesty's trust. At the same time, I also hope that all the ministers can join me in helping His Highness the Eighth Prince govern us. Xiu Feng Country.”

"That's what your lord said."

"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

...

The other ministers echoed, and from their expressions, there was no indication that not long ago, they were yelling at Guan Fei outside the palace.

The maids, eunuchs and imperial doctors all know how to judge the situation, and these ministers are even more aware. In the current situation, it is obvious that Guan Fei has the upper hand. If anyone dares to jump out and doubt Guan Fei at this time, they will act against Guan Fei in the same way. Knowing the means, anyone who dares to doubt Guan Fei in this situation may not be able to walk out of this hall alive.

Of course, just saying yes does not mean that they really think so in their hearts. There is obviously something fishy about this matter, and it is normal for everyone to have doubts. However, this matter needs to be investigated slowly.

Looking at the ministers' statements, Guan Fei was quite proud.

Guan Fei knew very well that in the past, although he had made these ministers afraid, they were more disgusted with him. As for fear, it was just fear of Zhao Qian behind him.

But it was different now. What these officials feared was Guan Fei himself, not anyone else. The difference was huge.

Guan Fei's eyes swept over the princes, and a hint of viciousness emerged in his heart. If he wanted to keep his current position, these princes must be eliminated, especially the eldest prince!

Under the auspices of Guan Fei, Xiufeng State began to prepare for funerals and weddings at the same time. The sky of Xiufeng State also changed on this day. Guan Fei, because of his great power, had already intimidated the ministers and members of the royal family. Unknown to them, undercurrents were surging in Fengliang City.

In this situation, Xiufeng State had no intention of caring about Zhao Qi's affairs. All their energy was on their own internal affairs. Therefore, the only people who had not given up chasing Zhao Qi were those in the Fengqi Camp of Shuiyue State.

However, they were not familiar with Xiufeng State. Now without the intelligence provided by Xiufeng State, they had no idea where to chase Zhao Qi and others.

What's more, they had experienced the siege of the wedding party, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guards in the wedding party were not easy to deal with. At the same time, they were attacked by Wu Fan several times, and their strength was greatly damaged. There were not many survivors. Even if they still did not give up chasing Zhao Qi and others, in fact, they themselves did not have much confidence in their hearts that they could complete this task. However, they had to continue this task because of their duties.
