And this also means that Li Miao can no longer hide it. After all, he cannot let the old emperor appoint someone else as the crown prince.

But how to go from behind the scenes to the stage still needs to be figured out, at least to choose a good time.

In addition, we must also remind Empress Zhang about this, lest Empress Zhang think that the old emperor can live for many years, and she was not prepared, and was caught off guard, and did not even have time to arrange for Li Miao to come on stage, which would be bad.

At that moment, An Ran told Empress Zhang her worries about the old emperor's health.

Aunt Zhao heard what she heard from Aunt Zhang, and after reporting to Queen Zhang, she said: "Fang Sizhen's words are also reasonable. No matter how your Majesty's health is, we have to make preparations in advance, so for the matter of establishing a prince, we are

Aren't we supposed to be prepared and stop hiding behind? We're also lest we really have to do what Fang Sizhen said: The emperor's health is failing and he's preparing to establish a throne. We didn't get the news in advance and weren't fully prepared, so others could take the lead.

But it’s not good.”

After hearing this, Empress Zhang nodded and said: "It is indeed necessary to prepare. As Fang Sizhen said, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. However... preparations must be made secretly, and it is better not to do so for the time being.

Go forward and wait for those parties to fight for a while."

The reason why Queen Zhang still doesn't plan to take action is because the other parties haven't stopped fighting yet.

Speaking of this fight, the Zhang family naturally contributed a lot.

Yes, Queen Zhang and the Zhang family are not simply sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Of course, it is impossible to just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. After all, when it comes to seizing the throne, how can they just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?

There will be consequences, of course. They do not take the initiative to fight with other forces, but mostly take advantage of it and let several forces fight.

This is not only true for the Zhang family, but also for An Ran.

As early as she entered the palace, she had been arranging her own manpower. She had more connections and influence in the shadows of the palace than even Queen Zhang.

With so many people and power, it is too easy to fight against each other. After all, those candidates for the clan live in the palace. She only needs to do some tricks to make the two candidates dislike each other and start fighting.

These clan candidates started fighting, and they were unwilling to listen to the forces that supported them and coexist peacefully. The forces that supported them could not completely go against their wishes, so sometimes, even if they knew that they could not fight, they knew that this would be self-defeating.

Killing, knowing that the snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit, but because these clan candidates don't like each other, they can only fight with each other.

In fact, in the fight between these people, the Zhang family and Queen Zhang may not be as angry as the people sent by An Ran.

Moreover, An Ran has done many tasks in the palace and knows how to cause trouble. Therefore, the methods of setting fire are not only many and useful, but also cannot be discovered by others. Even some of the people she sent to fight the fire did not realize that she was actually provoking it.

When those people were fighting, they only thought that she was kind-hearted to help one of them, or to side with one of the parties, so she revealed some inside information to them to let them guard against their opponents. Little did they know that many of these inside information were actually specious.

Specially designed to make people fight.

Even the people from the Anron faction didn't know that she was trying to make a fuss, and Empress Zhang didn't know even more. She just thought that these people were idiots, fighting all day long, and fighting according to her and her family's ideas, which was beneficial to them.

This is God helping them.

As An Ran thought, the old emperor's body was rapidly declining and he began to linger in bed.

As soon as the old emperor began to linger on his sickbed, the former dynasty's call for the appointment of a prince became louder and louder, and the battles between the candidates of the various clans became more and more fierce, and there were even assassins who assassinated the candidates of the clan.

It was not a clan candidate who was assassinated, but all the people. Some people were not prepared enough and were killed, and those who were not killed were also injured. In the end, only one person was not assassinated, and that person was quickly considered to be the mastermind.

The emperor was furious and sent the clan candidate on his way with a glass of poisoned wine.

An Ran looked at it and was speechless. He thought what the old emperor was doing. He didn't investigate the other party carefully. When he saw that the other party was fine, he just said that the other party was the mastermind and poisoned the person. Even a fool knew that that person was obviously killed by someone.

Framed, right? After all, who would be stupid enough to kill everyone without getting into trouble?

It seems that the old emperor obviously didn't want to worry about it, so he did it perfunctorily. Anyway, to him, it didn't matter whether the deceased clan was wronged or not. He didn't bother to care. Who makes you stupid and can't prove yourself?

Innocent.

But because nothing happened to Li Feng, An Ran didn't jump out and say anything even though she was speechless. Of course, as a female official, she was not qualified to say anything.

Although a clan candidate died, other people couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw the old emperor killing someone so easily, but some were happy and thought it was a good thing that there was one less competitor.

However, he was still worried about the assassin. Those who were not killed immediately asked their family members to find some servants with outstanding martial arts for themselves, and replace the servants who were following them but with poor martial arts.

They are not princes or princes, and do not have personal bodyguards to protect them, so they can only ask people from their families to come over and protect themselves as the following people. After all, the old emperor allows these candidates for the clan to bring a few servants from home.

The waiters around you, after all, the royal family will not be so unreasonable and let you enter the palace without even letting you bring an acquaintance.

Li Feng was actually fine, and was not assassinated by the assassins, because he had already been protected by people with outstanding martial arts arranged by An Ran.

Since An Ran is ready to support Li Miao, she naturally has to protect him. After all, anything can happen in the palace. If she is not prepared, if Li Miao is killed, all her future actions will be ruined.

,Can Enron not protect Li Miao?

However, in case there was nothing wrong with it, it was too special and different, and made people feel strange, Li Miao still let himself get injured, making it appear that something had happened to him.

In fact, among these injured people, there must be one person who is not injured. He is pretending that this person is the real murderer. However, the old emperor has already brought the "murderer" to justice, and now it is difficult for everyone to continue to find the real murderer.

, after all, isn’t that a slap in the old emperor’s face? It’s a slap in the old emperor’s face. The old emperor hates them, how can they please him? They are appointed by him as heirs, so they can only take precautions.

After such an assassination, only five of the nine clan candidates who had not left that year were left - two were dead, one was killed by the old emperor, and one was seriously injured and disabled. The disability is natural.

He couldn't be crown prince, so he was sent home, leaving only five.
