Chapter 527 Idea
As for the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince and the like, who were ranked after the Sixth Prince and were not legitimate princes, Lu Xiyin did not intend to take them seriously for the time being.
Dayong was an orthodox dynasty. In an orthodox dynasty, there was only one criterion for succession to the throne, and that was the primogeniture system.
When Lu Xinyin gave birth to the sixth prince Qin Mingjun, she hoped that the sixth prince would succeed His Majesty.
So the people she wanted to get rid of the most were the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan and the fifteenth prince Qin Mao, who were born to the queen.
In the order of succession of these two princes born by the Queen, as long as the Queen is not deposed, even if the Queen dies, the Ninth Prince and the Fifteenth Prince will always be ranked ahead of all other princes.
Over the years, she has been keeping an eye on the queen. It is not so easy to depose the queen. If she cannot kill her with one blow, she cannot act rashly.
What Lu Xinyin didn't want to admit but had to admit was that His Majesty had feelings for Shen Ningyue, so she couldn't find an opportunity to kill the Queen in one fell swoop.
After the Ninth Prince and the Fifteenth Prince came the Eldest Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince, who were older than the Sixth Prince.
The eldest prince and the third prince became monks, leaving only the fourth prince born to Concubine Hui and the fifth prince born to Concubine Xian, who were older than her sixth prince.
As for the Fourth and Fifth Princes, the only option besides becoming the Queen and allowing the Sixth Prince to move ahead of these two princes in the succession sequence is to target the Fourth and Fifth Princes themselves.
More than ten years ago, after Lu Xinyin took action against the Fourth Prince, Qin Zhi restricted the methods that the concubines could use. So, no matter how they fought and argued over the past ten years, no concubine had ever succeeded in targeting the princes in the harem.
The only royal heir who died in these years was the Thirteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince lost his life because of the abuse of a servant outside the palace by his biological mother, Concubine Lan. No concubine had anything to do with his death. At most, they just took advantage of the situation after the Thirteenth Prince died.
Since the death of the Thirteenth Prince, the area outside the palace seemed to have become an exemption zone for them to take action against other princes, but Lu Xinyin did not dare to move.
Because the cost is too high, it's not worth it.
The concubines fought with each other, and the princes fought with each other, and each had his own stage.
When the princes come of age, the Sixth Prince must be the protagonist in the competition with the other princes. As a mother, she can only assist from the side in the fight between the princes for the throne. If she were to usurp the throne and do everything that the Sixth Prince should do, His Majesty would not like it.
Matters outside the palace should be resolved outside the palace, so naturally she only focused on the concubines and the Eastern Palace in the palace.
Because of the restrictions His Majesty imposed on them, Lu Xinyin naturally did not dare to take action against the emperor's grandson in the Eastern Palace before Jiang Yulan had an abortion.
It’s great that someone has helped her find out His Majesty’s attitude towards the life of the imperial grandson.
Lu Xinyin's brows were relaxed and she was in a very happy mood.
She has a criminal record with His Majesty, and she can't get caught doing something that His Majesty doesn't allow.
The Eastern Palace Concubine's child was taken away by someone in the Eastern Palace, which means that His Majesty did not send anyone to protect the prince's child.
The emperor's grandson must be protected by his own parents.
If the Eastern Palace has no heir, how can anyone be worthy of inheriting Your Majesty's position?
How could the eldest son conceived during the Queen Mother's mourning period be qualified to inherit the throne? Your Majesty does not need this prince who was cursed by the Queen Mother to be heirless.
At this moment, Lu Xinyin had already made up her mind to make Donggong childless.
She sat under the porch with murderous intent, but her almond eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at the Sixth Princess Qin Jiayin swinging on the swing under the crabapple tree.
The weather was cold, and the crabapple tree had lost all its leaves and flowers. The Sixth Princess was swinging on the swing. Although a group of palace servants and eunuchs were crowded together to block the wind for her and she was wrapped in thick clothes, she was still cold.
"Come back to Nuannuan soon, don't bother me, if you catch a cold..."
"Mother, I just sat there for a while. Please let me swing for a while. I'm not cold!"
