Chapter 2693: Chapter 2693: Intending to Groom Crown Prince Yuu Xin

He does want it, Gong Jian’s ability to handle matters is really quite good, but he can’t disregard people’s wishes.

"His dream is Wulong Mountain; I fear he won’t be able to stay with me for long." He shrugged and said.

"Is there a conflict?"

An Jiuyue looked at the Emperor, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

Wasn’t Qian Jiyun also running in three directions at once back then? He didn’t fall short anywhere.

"Indeed, there’s no conflict."

The Emperor rubbed his forehead with one hand; the only conflict left seemed to be with himself, just him, this Emperor. Daqing Kingdom cannot afford to go a day without him; even a day without him, ministers would be anxious.

"But I really can’t do without Gong Jian; you don’t know, the matters at the royal court are truly overwhelming."

As Emperor, he couldn’t personally take charge and deal with each issue; he could only entrust trusted people, yet currently, people he could trust were indeed scarce.

And Gong Jian was one of them, and also the one with the strongest ability to handle affairs.

"I heard you have intentions to cultivate Crown Prince Yuu Xin?" Qian Jiyun asked him.

Emperor: "..."

He looked at his second brother with puzzled eyes.

They had just entered the palace; how did they know he intended to cultivate Crown Prince Yuu Xin? He merely had this thought, still pondering whether the child’s disposition was good enough to take on this grand scheme.

"How do you know that?"

"Heard an earful before entering the palace." Qian Jiyun replied.

Mainly because this matter hadn’t stirred up favorable tides in the capital; many in the capital were spreading rumors that the Emperor couldn’t produce sons, hence placing the Crown Prince’s position onto Crown Prince Yuu Xin.

It would soon lead to the Emperor finding various excuses to suppress Crown Prince Yuu Xin’s parents and clan, which was the current family of Old Prince He.

Who knows when the family of Old Prince He might meet an untimely demise.

"You’ve heard too."

Speaking of this, the Emperor was also helpless.

"I haven’t done anything yet. This outside rumor indeed, for the past few days, the ministers’ eyes on me have changed during court sessions."

Making him seem like he truly couldn’t produce sons!

Was it that he couldn’t give birth? It clearly was because he hadn’t met the woman of his dreams, not wanting to father a child casually!

Moreover, these ministers are truly too terrible; he is still young, isn’t he, just a bit over thirty. Why must they insist on establishing a Crown Prince? Do they think he hasn’t been sitting on the throne for long?

Don’t be too ridiculous.

"Big brother, being too merciful is of no use." An Jiuyue reminded him.

For rumors like this, a thunderous force is needed to suppress them at once; anyone who dares spread such rumors should be immediately dealt with. After arresting a few Paper Men, she indeed wants to see who still dares to speak nonsense.

"This isn’t a matter of mercy." The Emperor shook his head.

He certainly knows which people are fueling this behind the scenes; they think that once these rumors emerge, he’d be unable to sit still, appointing an Empress according to their intentions.

"I’m thinking of letting the matter ferment for a while longer, dealing with those troublemakers behind the scenes at the last moment."

"Heh."

Qian Jiyun looked at the Emperor, with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

"You’re not looking to deal with those people, but rather want to catch all the women in your harem in one fell swoop?"

"Uh."

The Emperor was choked by Qian Jiyun’s words.

He indeed had this thought; those women were forcibly sent into the palace when he first ascended the throne, when his position was unstable, and he was unable to refuse.
