Chapter 1833: Chapter 1833: Grant Him the Crown Prince

"The Crown Prince?"

The Emperor frowned.

Although he was somewhat displeased, he felt he wasn’t old enough to need to appoint a Crown Prince yet.

However, since the matter was brought up by the Empress Dowager, it must be that there were already some reactions at court. The matter of appointing a Crown Prince had to be carried out.

"Then, in the Empress Dowager’s opinion, among the various princes, which one is suitable for the great responsibility of the Crown Prince?"

he asked.

Upon hearing his words, the Empress Dowager also hesitated for a moment.

In Shaohua City now, it was Prince Mo’s Mansion that held the highest prestige, and among the ministers, many had leaned toward Sui Zimo.

Of course, she absolutely could not hand over the Wei State’s empire to someone without royal blood. The position of the Crown Prince had to be chosen from among the other princes.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about Lin’er?" she asked.

"Lin’er?"

"Yes, Lin’er. The Empress Dowager has heard that after Lin’er went to Sui Commandery to recuperate and nurture his health, his illness has almost healed, and with the matter of Suri now in the past, why not let the Empress Dowager issue a benevolent edict for Lin’er to return?"

the Empress Dowager said to the Emperor.

"Mother, is this the Empress’s idea, or is it the maternal uncle’s idea?" the Emperor asked.

"This is the Empress Dowager’s idea."

The Empress Dowager immediately said, giving her son a displeased stare.

Why be so suspicious — even if the Empress had this in mind, would she dare to come to her to say it? Not to mention the maternal uncle, he would dare even less.

"The Emperor is seriously ill and hasn’t attended to state affairs for a month now, with all imperial authority currently grasped in the maternal uncle’s hands. Do you think that if anyone other than Lin’er becomes the Crown Prince, the maternal uncle will hand over the power in his hands?"

She spoke to the Emperor, analyzing carefully.

"He won’t. He will only grip the power in his hands tighter, and in time, he will bring Lin’er back to succeed the position of the Crown Prince anyway."

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, the Emperor took a deep breath.

He originally thought he had gained a treasured garment, only after being poisoned did he realize what he had was a garment of poison.

But that was all right, any poison can be neutralized, and he could still make it if he waited. Sooner or later, he would be able to stand up again.

He had thought so before.

But now, he truly hated the cloaked man. Why did he have to send him that ice silkworm garment? It poisoned him and now state affairs were being controlled by the maternal uncle.

The Emperor felt truly passive now!

"Mother’s meaning is to have Lin’er return, first grant him the position of Crown Prince, have him take back the power from the maternal uncle’s hands, and directly sideline the maternal uncle?" he asked.

Hearing her son’s words, the Empress Dowager really wanted to slap him awake.

Enough said, she had nothing more to explain, and let her son continue thinking that way.

"It is roughly that idea," she said.

"Well then, I will trouble Mother to issue the edict," the Emperor nodded, agreeing.

As long as he still was the Emperor, still the Emperor of Wei State, others would still have to listen to him.

Bringing Lin’er back was only temporary.

"Very well, the Empress Dowager shall make the arrangements. Your Majesty, please rest well,"

she said, then the Empress Dowager stood up, and with the assistance of her old nanny, she left.

Outside the bedchamber, the Empress, who had been secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, finally smiled when she heard that her son was about to return.

She knew that cooperating with Zimo was the right choice, her son was coming back so soon.

With that in mind, she slowly entered the bedchamber.
