Chapter 1221 Prince Li's Extra: The Biggest Bargain

"Let's wait until the poison of father is cured." The eldest prince looked at Murong Jie, and his heart was full of emotion. He was always friendly to his brothers, but he didn't dare to agree to Murong Jie's request this time.

"Father..." Murong Jie's face was full of worry. No one knew his panic better than him. He was not only worried about the health of the father, but after the imperial edict of the crown prince came out, he was a little worried that the poison of the father was related to the mother.

Others didn't understand the paranoia of the mother, but he knew it best.

"Father will get better. Ruyi Bottle will definitely not be in vain." After the eldest prince finished speaking, he couldn't help looking at Murong Kai. Compared with the other princes who were worried, he was the only calm person besides himself.

The eldest prince's words made Murong Jie's face paler. He shouldn't have said that to his eldest brother just now. He was just too scared and ignored the biggest possibility that the father would get better.

"Fourth brother, you still have to persuade your mother. Sometimes, a wrong step can cost you your life."

Murong Kai naturally heard the words of his elder brother and Murong Jie. He was more certain than the eldest prince that his father's poison could be stabilized. He was calmer than others and considered things more comprehensively. When the queen walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy face, he guessed that their father should have woken up.

He knew the feelings of his mother for his father best. She would definitely not leave without knowing whether his father was dead or alive.

So, the matter had already come to an end. Now, it depends on what the fourth prince and Dong choose.

"Third brother, mother..." Murong Jie instinctively wanted to argue for Concubine Dong, but after he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to say that his mother was kind and just a little arrogant, but who would kill a young man? Who would be so arrogant that he could manipulate the crown prince?

"That's her business, just do your best." Although Murong Kai didn't like Dong, he still felt sorry for his younger brother. Although he was spoiled by Dong, he still distinguished good from evil and knew right from wrong.

"Third brother, I..." Murong Jie didn't understand why Murong Kai said such a thing, but the panic in his heart became heavier during the words. He hoped that Murong Kai could explain his words, but he said nothing.

"Go." When Murong Jie was at a loss, the eldest prince also came over, patted his shoulder, and solemnly advised.

Murong Jie looked at the two brothers in front of him who had always been very friendly to him, and finally nodded and ran towards the Qingliang Palace.

"The imperial edict to establish the crown prince has been issued, and the emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

"Well, why are you in a hurry? I believe that the Ruyi Bottle can relieve the poison in my father's body, and I believe that the civil and military officials in the court will not let my father be controlled by a woman."

"Aren't you afraid that my father will have a chance, then the imperial edict..."

"Why isn't the third brother afraid?"

Murong Kai looked at his brother and suddenly smiled.

Yes, no matter how the Empress Dowager indulges my father, she will not allow him to take the throne. Even if there is an imperial edict from my father, as long as the Empress Dowager disagrees, Murong Jie will not be able to ascend the throne.

The Empress Dowager is their biggest bargaining chip.

Murong Kai has been cared for by the Empress Dowager for many years, and naturally knows that what she cares about is the eldest prince. He is calm in the face of danger. It is really as the Empress Dowager said that he is a suitable crown prince and will be a good emperor.

"Then my third brother will wait for news from my father here. I will deal with the imperial edict first."

At this moment, the two of them have made up their minds and naturally have to work together. The eldest prince glanced at Murong Kai's legs and whispered.

"According to the ancestral system, every imperial edict of my father has a backup. Brother, you can check it." Murong Kai kindly reminded that the eldest prince's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Do you suspect that this imperial edict is fake?"

"No, I just think that my father is not so stupid that he wants to give our Murong family's kingdom to the Dong family."
