The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1275

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1084, The Style is a Bit Off

Daohua was particularly delighted to have obtained a Jingmiao Grass Seed. In ancient times, security was far from reliable, especially for families like theirs, where power struggles were unavoidable. One misstep could lead to becoming entangled in an assassination plot.

With Jingmiao Grass, she could produce the Eight Meridian Pill. By then, her son and daughter would be able to cultivate their inner strength.

Once they had the skills to protect themselves, she wouldn’t have to worry as much when the children went out.

Seeing Daohua’s brows and eyes curved with joy, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but ask, "Can you grow it successfully this time?"

Compared to her ambiguous answer to Chu Lang before, Daohua was brimming with confidence this time: "Of course! I’ve got experience now, so I definitely have to succeed."

Upon hearing her reply, Xiao Yeyang’s anticipation also grew. After using the Eight Meridian Pill to unlock the meridians, cultivating inner strength would be twice as effective. He hoped their children would acquire skills that allowed them to protect themselves.

Daohua carefully placed the seed into her pouch (which was actually a space), before turning to Xiao Yeyang and mentioning their return to Xiliang: "We’ve been away for so long. Master must be worried."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don’t worry. I’ve already sent a Carrier Pigeon Message back, letting Uncle know we’ll be staying in Beijing for a while longer."

Daohua felt reassured. After returning to the Prince Residence, the three little ones eagerly went to find Ping Prince.

That evening, as the family was dining together, Defu came to report: "The Emperor has just summoned the Fourth Prince, along with the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Princes, into the palace."

"According to news from the palace, the Emperor has ordered the princes to go to Qianqing Palace every day from now on to review memorials alongside the Sixth Prince."

Ping Prince quickly glanced at Xiao Yeyang, noting his son’s silence and the hint of gravity in his expression. Uncertain, he asked, "Has your royal uncle’s health really taken a turn for the worse?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at Ping Prince, pondered for a moment, and said, "Father, if you’re worried about Royal Uncle, why not visit the palace tomorrow to check on him?"

Ping Prince agreed with a hum, losing his appetite for the meal.

The next day, Ping Prince entered the palace, only to see the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne, nodding off. He also noticed the princes in the hall assisting with the review of memorials. His concern deepened.

Among the princes, only the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince had long been involved in court affairs. The Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Princes had just taken on official responsibilities, while the Tenth Prince was still learning to read alongside Xiao Moreng in the Southern Study.

Now, with several princes gathered, each harbored different thoughts.

The princes keenly perceived that the Emperor’s health had deteriorated, each secretly nurturing their own ambitions.

Only the Fourth Prince dutifully focused on his tasks, though a trace of doubt always lingered in his eyes whenever he discreetly observed the Emperor.

Meanwhile, the most unsettled was the Sixth Prince. He hadn’t expected his father to suddenly summon the other princes into the palace. With this, he was no longer the sole candidate for the throne.

Changchun Palace.

The Sixth Prince anxiously confided to Lady Shu: "Mother Consort, although Father’s periods of drowsiness are becoming longer, what if he appoints someone else during his moments of lucidity? Wouldn’t all my efforts be for nothing?"

Lady Shu’s face darkened significantly: "I originally planned to help you ascend the throne smoothly, but now the Emperor has pulled this move. He has forced us to take gambles we had hoped to avoid."

She paused, then fell into deep thought.

"Since Xiao Yeyang has been reluctant to return to Xiliang, you must devise a way to lure him out of Beijing for a while." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Sixth Prince trembled slightly upon hearing this and asked hesitantly, "Mother Consort, what are you planning?"

A cold gleam flashed in Lady Shu’s eyes: "At this stage, what do you think? I will make your father irreversibly senile, then compel him to issue a decree passing the throne to you."

Seeing the Sixth Prince’s apprehension, Lady Shu sighed, "Drawing Xiao Yeyang out of Beijing is merely to prevent him from meddling. As long as no one raises objections to the decree, your claim to the throne will be secure."

"And once the officials recognize you, even if Xiao Yeyang harbors doubts, he’ll be powerless to act."

"Xiao Yeyang is deeply loyal to your father. By acting this way, I’m ensuring he doesn’t lead the Xiliang army to oppose you right when you become emperor."

"Once you have solidified your rule, how Xiao Yeyang is dealt with will be entirely up to you."

The Sixth Prince fell silent for a moment, then firmly promised, "Rest assured, Mother Consort. I will lure Xiao Yeyang out of Beijing."
