Chapter 221: Concubine Selection (3)
"Does Your Highness want to take Miss Shi Fei... This is absolutely not allowed!" Situ Yao objected seriously, "Your Highness likes her, and she can be a concubine in the future. The Crown Princess still needs a virtuous woman with a prominent family background. First, she can assist the Crown Prince, and second, the Crown Princess's family background must also be able to help Your Highness..."
"Okay! What are you thinking about? Who said I was thinking about the Crown Princess? I'm not interested in women!" Wei Ning said irritably.
Situ Yao thought to himself, don’t try to deceive me. If you had no interest in women, why would you have risked your life for that brothel girl before?
"Your Highness, now that the Regent is imprisoned, what should we do?" Not wanting to tease her anymore, Situ Yao started talking about serious matters.
"I was just thinking about this." Wei Ning said depressedly. The emperor's sons were all useless, and Mu Tianhua was considered a good one, but she would never let Mu Tianhua touch the throne.
Once the emperor passed away, the prince would naturally ascend the throne, but she...
"Situ, have you heard of a woman becoming emperor?"
"I've never heard of it." Situ Yao chuckled, with a curious look on his young face, "Why? Your Highness has heard of it?"
"I think, as long as there is talent, what is the difference between men and women?"
"That's what you say, but in this world, most of the officials are men. You want a woman to lead all the men, this..." Situ Yao frowned. He is a real man and instinctively felt that it is inappropriate.
Wei Ning raised her eyebrows, with a pure expression on her delicate face, "I can't accept it, it's just a man's pride. In my opinion, it's nothing. I have talent and virtue, so why can't I accept it?"
"Hahaha," Situ Yao laughed loudly, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you today? Why did you say such shocking words? Could it be that you want to give your throne to someone else?"
"Is it not possible?" Wei Ning glanced at him.
Situ Yao stopped smiling, looked at the calm light in her eyes, and swallowed hard.
“You, you won’t…”
Wei Ning stood up with a smile and waved to him, "Let's go to the prison and take a look!"
The Qinglong Empire's prison holds only serious criminals, and many measures have been taken to prevent phantom masters from escaping.
The entire prison was eerie and damp, with the air filled with the smell of blood. Even if there were no executions, the smell would not dissipate, because countless blood had seeped into the soil, and even after many years, the strong smell of blood could still be smelled.
This place is another hell. Once you come in, even if you have great abilities, you can only suffer.
The prison has not been quiet since a group of serious criminals who were suspected of treason were locked up last night.
All kinds of screams and curses filled this dark place.
"Mu Qingning! Mu Qingning, you will not die well!"
As soon as Wei Ning walked into the prison, she heard someone cursing her hysterically. When she listened, it was none other than Mu Tianhua.
The jailer who came out to greet him showed a look of panic. Since last night, no one in the entire Haojing was not afraid of this prince who was usually timid.
With just one move, she took care of Marquis Zhenwei and the Regent. No one would believe this kind of thing if she told others about it, but she did it anyway!
Now people outside say that she is a conspirator who has been hiding for many years, and her methods are cruel, like an evil spirit.
Yesterday, corpses were carried out of the palace one by one, piled up into a mountain outside the city, and all were burned.
