Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

Shang Shixu held her forehead and smiled bitterly. She didn't understand why the eldest prince was unwilling to ascend the throne.

There weren't many princes in Qi State, and the third prince was a waste and posed no threat to him at all.

He was in a completely favorable situation, with almost no obstacles.

She, a powerful official, was willing to help him, and the emperor also valued him.

Throughout history, no one has ever had such a smooth path to the throne.

Shang Shixu was unwilling to give up. She still wanted to ask the eldest prince. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, she would not let it go.

"Your Highness, I don't understand, is love so important?

Why would you rather have Miss Qiu than sit on that position above everyone else?"

The eldest prince raised his hand to interrupt Shang Shixu and sighed.

"Prime Minister Shang, I have been with Xiang Qiu for nearly ten years, which is longer than the time I have spent with my father who is far away in the capital.

The love between us is no longer just a simple one.

We are relatives, confidants, husband and wife, and we are the ones who will accompany each other for a hundred years."

Shang Shixu shook his head and still wanted to refute the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, even if you ascend the throne and become the emperor, you can still give Miss Qiu such a life.

As long as you can withstand the pressure from the ministers and not hold the draft,

Also, you don't have to worry too much about those noble families who want to form an alliance.

I will be a sharp sword in your hand, and I will kill anyone who offends me immediately."

The eldest prince looked at Shang Shixu in astonishment. This was the first time he felt

The momentum of the legendary powerful ministers, the previous Shang Dynasty,

Because he was a prince, he was still polite to him and never showed his emotions like this.

It seems that he really wants me to ascend the throne, but...

"Prime Minister Shang, I know your determination and how capable you are.

But I can't do that. I'm a coward.

I dare not gamble. If Xiangqiu gets hurt because of the fight for the throne, I will never forgive myself."

Shang Shixu took a deep breath. She was determined to correct the eldest prince's wrong ideas today.

"Your Highness, I have said before that if you want to ascend the throne,

I can guarantee that you and your Miss Qiu will be safe and sound."

The eldest prince still shook his head.

"Prime Minister Shang, I understand your anxiety, but please also understand me.

I dare not gamble, because I know I can't do it.

Knowing that he might not be able to withstand the pressure from the ministers, the palace was still too dangerous.

I can't put Xiangqiu in danger. Okay, let's stop here today.

Prime Minister Shang, you should go back and rest, as you have important matters to attend to in the evening."

Shang Shixu reluctantly stood in front of the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, the people of the world need you, you can't..."

The eldest prince stood with his hands behind his back, a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Prime Minister Shang, I know you have an aunt who depends on you for life."

Shang Shixu was immediately alert, wondering what the eldest prince was going to do.

She would never let her aunt get hurt.

When the eldest prince saw Shang Shixu's reaction, he showed a satisfied expression.

"Prime Minister Shang, you see, your aunt is the most important to you.

For her, you can even kill this prince without hesitation.

What's the difference between me and Xiangqiu and you and your aunt?

Prime Minister, please think about it carefully. I will go first."

Shang Shixu was stunned. She suddenly thought of this.

If my aunt was really hurt or even died because of her in her quest for fame and fortune,

What should she do? Her aunt is her only support in this world.

Shang Shixu looked back at the eldest prince's back and couldn't help feeling guilty.

However, if no one is willing to succeed to the throne, what will happen to the world?

Shang Shixu caught up with the eldest prince and asked anxiously.

"Your Highness, if there is no royal family to succeed the throne, what will happen to Qi and the people?"

The eldest prince stroked his sleeves lightly and uttered a few words in a calm and relaxed manner.

"Mr. Prime Minister, why can't you ascend the throne yourself?"

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he left calmly, as if he had never said such treasonous words before.

Shang Shixu was stunned. She had never expected that the eldest prince would instigate her to succeed the throne.

This couldn't be a trap set for her. After all, no normal royal family would say such a thing.

Shang Shixu quickly turned around and knelt down in front of the eldest prince.

"I dare not. I have no second thoughts towards Your Majesty."

The eldest prince turned around, crossed his arms, and looked at Shang Shixu helplessly.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is indeed very cautious. What I just said was sincere.

Only someone as cautious and ambitious as the Prime Minister is suitable for that position.

And I am just occupying a good status,

Prime Minister, please get up quickly and don't forget the important things to do in the evening."

The eldest prince gradually walked away, and the Shang Dynasty slowed down.

She walked back to the room prepared for her by the eldest prince in a daze.

"Sister, you are finally back, huh? Sister, what happened to you!"

Bai Wangshu had been waiting for her in Shang Shixu's room.

I wanted to give her a surprise, but I didn't expect to see Shang Shixu in this state.

Shang Shixu looked up at Bai Wangshu, opened his mouth but said nothing.

The two of them sat there quietly for a long time, Bai Wangshu holding Shang Shixu's hand all the time.

He was really worried about Shang Shixu. He had never seen Shang Shixu so distraught.

He wanted to know what was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask for fear of causing his sister grief.

I don't know how much time has passed, Shang Shixu stood up,

After checking the doors and windows, he came back and sat next to Bai Wangshu.

"Wangshu, I want to tell you something. I think... No, please wait a little longer."

Shang Shixu was still worried, so she opened the door and went out for a walk. Seeing that there was no one around, she sat down next to Bai Wangshu with peace of mind.

"Wangshu, I...I...want to, tsk, ..."

Bai Wangshu looked at Shang Shixu expectantly. He didn't know what his sister was going to do.

He only knew that he had to agree to all his sister's requests, and this was the principle he had always followed.

Shang Shixu was about to say something, but she hesitated.

She understood that once these words were out of her mouth, her business life would never be the same again.

Shang Shixu looked into Bai Wangshu's eyes full of trust, took a deep breath, and decided to tell Bai Wangshu first.

"Wangshu, I plan to...rebel."

"Of course sister, rebellion is good, what, rebellion!"

Bai Wangshu subconsciously agreed to Shang Shixu, but suddenly he realized what Shang Shixu was going to do and was shocked.

I hurriedly checked the doors and windows again, and even found that the time sequence was the same as the business sequence.

I went out for a walk and felt relieved only after confirming that everything was fine.

"Sister, are you serious?"

Shang Shixu nodded. Of course she was serious. Once she said that, there was no way she could take it back.
