Chapter 1223: Prince Li’s Extra: Already Had a Plan

"You bastard, I am the crown prince's biological mother and the future queen mother. Why don't you open the door for me?" Concubine Dong Gui screamed in the palace, hysterically.

She didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to leave the Qingliang Palace until now.

"Ms. Dong, let alone the prince, even if the emperor orders it, you will not be able to leave this Qingliang Palace. This is the rule set by the late emperor." The eunuch guarding the door spoke strictly, not because Dong's son became the prince. There is no hint of flattery.

"Do you believe that I asked the prince to kill you? A bunch of dog slaves actually want to trap me in this Qingliang Palace. I really don't know what to say." Concubine Dong Gui shouted angrily. She couldn't help but want to trap the people in Qingliang Palace. The door opened, but she tried her best but couldn't move the heavy door.

"Ms. Dong, even if the prince kills us, you still won't be able to get out of Qingliang Palace. After you enter, the door has been locked."

"Don't worry, without you, I will have this door demolished."

"You can give it a try." The little eunuch remained unmoved by his words, as if he didn't even care about his own life or death.

Concubine Dong was so angry at their attitude that she could no longer speak. After a long time, she said to Eunuch Wan: "Go and call the prince to me."

"Concubine, my son and I are here." Murong Jie's voice came suddenly, as if he had been waiting not far away.

Concubine Dong Guifei heard Murong Jie's voice, and her heart filled with anger. She loudly accused: "Murong Jie, you are the prince of the country, are you just watching the little eunuch insult your mother?"

"Mother, I'm here to ask about your father's imperial edict to establish the crown prince." Murong Jie asked anxiously as if he didn't feel Concubine Dong's anger.

"Murong Jie, what are you asking about? The imperial edict was written by your father. From now on, you will be the most noble prince of our Zhou Dynasty." Murong Jie's attitude did not bring any joy, which made Concubine Dong even more panicked. She was anxious. As he spoke, it was not the answer Murong Jie wanted.

"Mother Concubine, was it you who tricked your father into writing that imperial edict?"

"Murong Jie, what are you talking about? That is the imperial edict of the crown prince. Your father is so wise and powerful, will you be influenced by a woman like me on such a major matter?"

Concubine Dong was hoarse, as if her voice was louder to prove that there was nothing wrong with the imperial edict.

"Mother, my father had a conversation with me two years ago. He said he hoped that I could be a comfortable prince."

Murong Jie's voice was calm, but it sounded like thunder in Concubine Dong's ears.

"What did you say?" Concubine Dong Gui knew that Murong Zheng did not want to give the throne to her son, but she did not expect that he had actually talked with Murong Jie and had already planned Murong Jie's future direction.

Therefore, when she said that she wanted Murong Jie to be the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future, the smile in Murong Zheng's eyes was not conniving, but deceiving.

Therefore, he never thought about asking Murong Jie to be the emperor of Zhou Dynasty from beginning to end. He had always been perfunctory with himself. He...

The disappointment in my heart was overwhelming, but what followed was happiness. I was lucky that I had taken a step earlier and poisoned Murong Zheng, giving my son the possibility of ascending to the throne.

"Mother Concubine, I told the eldest brother that I would give up my position as the crown prince to protect you from worries for the rest of my life, but the eldest brother refused." Murong Jie didn't seem to hear Concubine Dong Guifei's question, and just spoke softly, but didn't want to His words once again made Concubine Dong furious.

But before Concubine Dong could speak, Murong Jie slowly spoke out the eldest prince's answer.

The eldest prince's answer successfully froze Concubine Dong Gui's anger. She was stunned for a long time before she asked: "Why? He doesn't even care about the position of prince?"

Concubine Dong Gui did not realize at all that this should not be the problem she was struggling with. Shouldn't she be concerned about why Murong Jie gave up the position of crown prince?
