2791: C2791 Gaze

C2791 Gaze

It was also because of this that everyone felt that Princess Qi would not easily give up her power and easily make a choice. She might even drag this matter on for a long time.2

However, the different atmosphere and scene in the hall this morning made everyone doubt and think too much. They did not know what Princess Qi was planning. Could it be that she really had to make a decision? Decided so quickly?

Everyone did not believe it because up until now, Princess Qi had only met the Eighth Prince and the final result was not very good. They had not seen any other princes. In the absence of an agreement of benefits, she could easily hand over the rights in her hands?

In any case, no one believed it.

As more and more ministers gathered in the hall, the voices of discussion grew louder and louder. After all, the matter of the throne was of utmost importance, and it could be said to be related to each of their personal interests. They had no choice but to be concerned about it. This was also the matter that they were most concerned about recently. Furthermore, because of this matter, they were even more concerned about the Rebellion Force, which was getting stronger and stronger. They didn't even care about it anymore.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, the Rebellion Army was made up of mud. They might be able to achieve something in a short period of time, but they wouldn't be able to achieve anything in the end. In the end, the victory would still belong to the Imperial Court, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

Furthermore, even though they were all in the capital... However... In fact, there were still troops fighting against the Rebellion Force at the front line. Those were the troops sent by Wu Yan when he was still alive. After Wu Yan died, Princess Qi did not recall those troops. Everyone even felt that... When they decided on New Emperor's candidate, there might have been news of a great victory from the front line.

Therefore, they did not need to worry too much about the Rebellion Force. What they were most concerned about was the candidate of New Emperor.

At this moment, the Eighth Prince appeared in everyone's field of vision, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

It couldn't be helped. As the only prince who had received an audience with Princess Qi, the Eighth Prince was indeed somewhat special among the princes. If it wasn't for the fact that he was the last one... Princess Qi hurriedly left Consort Li's chambers before mealtime. Perhaps... Now, many people had already decided that the Eighth Prince would be New Emperor's candidate, so they surrounded him.

However, it was precisely because of Princess Qi's actions that everyone realized that the Eighth Prince was met by Princess Qi, and the final result was not good. Obviously, he did not meet Princess Qi's requirements and was the first one to be eliminated.

Therefore, after seeing the arrival of the Eighth Prince, those ministers only looked at him. No one went forward to greet him. Now was the critical moment of New Emperor's appearance. Furthermore, the other princes... They were all in the main hall. The future New Emperor would definitely be among these people. They didn't want to do such a thing in front of the future Emperor. It would reduce their impression of him.

After the Eighth Prince entered the main hall, he naturally sensed the gazes of the crowd. The gazes made him feel slightly uncomfortable and curious. Some were indifferent, while some were gloating over the misfortune of others. This caused the Eighth Prince, who was already in a bad mood, to feel even worse.

In fact, after returning from Consort Li's chambers last night, the Eighth Prince had been in a bad mood. He had the same thoughts as the others. He felt that he had already been eliminated by Princess Qi, which made him extremely depressed.

This morning, someone informed him to come to the court and he even knew about it. The other princes would also come, so the Eighth Prince guessed. Princess Qi must have made a decision. No matter who the candidate was... That must not be him. Otherwise, last night... Princess Qi would not have left in such a hurry and would not have left while they were chatting. She would not talk to him about those matters regarding the throne. If Princess Qi was satisfied with him, she would not be in such a hurry to leave and would not mention anything during the conversation.

Because of this thought, the Eighth Prince originally didn't want to come to the court. He lied and said that he was sick. He didn't want to see others successfully reach the top with his own eyes. Especially when he had the chance before, that would make him feel even worse.

Only, the people who came to inform him repeatedly told him that no matter what important things there were, he had to go to the court and couldn't use any excuses to decline. Even if he really was sick, he still had to embrace the illness.

This made the Eighth Prince have a trace of resentment towards Princess Qi in his heart. In his opinion, Princess Qi's actions were indeed a little too much. He had already been eliminated. He had no more thoughts about that position. Why did she have to go by herself? Must she personally see someone else reach the top and confirm that she had failed?

However, at this time, Princess Qi was still the most powerful person in the Great Lu Dynasty. He had to listen to Princess Qi's orders. Otherwise, he and his mother... They would not have any good days. It would be fine if they could not become the Emperor. They could not even have the position of Prince or Prince, right? He had to think about his future, right?

Thus, even if he was unwilling, the Eighth Prince still came. After entering the hall, it was just as he had expected, and he received special attention from everyone.

"The Eighth Brother is here? Come quickly, everyone is here. You're the only one left." First Prince said warmly when he saw the arrival of the Eighth Prince.

First Prince was in a very good mood because he was the leader of all the princes. Before this, when Wu Yan was still alive, he didn't respect the order of the elders. He had made the Eleventh Prince the emperor, which made First Prince the most unhappy. After all, according to the order of the elders, the throne should be him. And now, because of Wu Yan, he had lost that opportunity.

However, at that time, Wu Yan and his daughter had tremendous power. Even though First Prince was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it. If he really dared to raise any doubts... He might die for no reason. First Prince was very familiar with this kind of palace battle. Therefore, for the sake of his own life, First Prince chose to remain silent. Even though he was very angry in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

Princess Qi's sudden appearance gave First Prince hope. Princess Qi had just appeared, and she had already destroyed Wu Yan and his daughter with lightning speed. At the same time, she had also hinted that the Eleventh Prince was not a suitable candidate for the throne. In this way, First Prince was naturally happy.

The relationship between First Prince and Princess Qi wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. Furthermore, he was the leader of the group. At the same time, he also had the support of some ministers. It could be said that he was the most likely candidate to become the new Emperor.

During this period of time, First Prince had been wanting to pay a visit to Princess Qi, but he couldn't find her. Fortunately, other than the Eighth Prince, the other princes didn't see Princess Qi, which made him feel slightly relieved.
