The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

The wind was strong on the city wall and the wedding procession was very long.

Yiqing stood there for a long time, until he could no longer see anyone in the wedding procession, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

She didn't leave immediately, but stood there, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Don't look at it, the eldest princess is gone."

Suddenly, a familiar male voice sounded behind me.

Yiqing slowly turned around, then bowed and saluted the other party, "Greetings, Second Brother."

"No need to be so polite." The second prince waved his hand casually, "I'll see the eldest sister off. After all, she's quite pitiful."

Yiqing's eyes moved slightly, and she asked softly, "Second brother, do you also think that father's marriage to seek peace is inappropriate?"

Her tone was calm, as if she was asking casually.

But the second prince's reaction was huge.

He immediately took two steps back, looking at Yiqing with disgust and distance, "What nonsense are you talking about! Father has his own intentions, how can we interfere? If you want to die, go and do it yourself, don't implicate me!"

Most people in the palace are cautious and well aware that words can cause trouble. Even if there is no one around right now, it is never excessive to be cautious.

So Yiqing was not surprised to see the second prince's reaction.

She was just wondering whether the other party's answer was intended to hide his true thoughts and deliberately use such words to confuse others, or whether he was really just a coward who was trying to protect himself.

Among so many brothers and sisters, he was the only one who was willing to come and see the eldest princess off like herself. Yiqing felt that he at least had some good points.

Thinking of the original owner’s wish.

She thought that if the emperor was to be replaced, the second prince would be suitable in terms of age.

It's just that other aspects still need to be examined. After all, choosing an emperor is a big deal and it can't be taken lightly...

Except for the second prince, other princes should be properly examined.

Multiple choices, multiple paths.

Since you have to choose, you should always choose the best one.

Of course—

The more beautiful the imagination is, the more cruel the reality is.

After making inquiries from many sources, as well as close observation and verbal probing, Yiqing finally had a general understanding of the personalities and situations of the princes.

The eldest prince is eager for quick success and instant benefits, has a short-sighted vision, and is always confused by the immediate benefits.

Although the Second Prince was just as she thought, he did have some hidden weaknesses. He was cautious but not courageous enough. He was always indecisive and could not be used for important tasks.

The third prince broke his leg when he was young, had difficulty walking, and was very solitary.

The fourth prince is arrogant and extravagant on a daily basis.

The fifth prince was frail and had been bedridden for years.

The Sixth Prince is dull and taciturn.

The Seventh Prince is ambitious, intelligent, and appears humble on the surface, but in private he is extremely vicious and petty.

……

"There are more than twenty princes in the palace, but not one of them is suitable for that position?" Yiqing looked at the contents of the records he had sorted out in front of him, and his frown did not relax for a long time.

Twisting the paper with her slender fingers, she flipped through it again and again, trying to find a part that satisfied her.

But as time went by, she still gained nothing.

Seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting dark, she finally threw the things aside impatiently, "It's really true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! The emperor is incompetent and the children he gave birth to are also bad."

Putting aside those who have no talent for governing a country, there are some people whose strategies are obviously as good as others, but they have no concern for the greater good of the world and only know how to fight for power and value their own interests above all else.

If changing the emperor merely replaces a tyrant with a fool, then what is the point of changing him?

Yiqing pressed his temples with a headache.

"Dududu-"

There was a knock on the door, and Yiqing put away the papers on the table and said, "Come in."

Yuzhi stepped inside quickly, "Princess, the Third Princess and the Fourth Prince had a conflict in the Imperial Garden. During the argument, the Third Princess accidentally pushed Concubine Wang, who was trying to mediate, into the river."

Seeing the joy on Yuzhi's face, Yiqing keenly grasped the key figure, "Is it the Concubine Wang who has been favored by the emperor recently and is in the limelight?"

"That's right." Yuzhi replied quickly, with a tone of gloating, "The Third Princess always makes things difficult for the Princess, so she deserves the trouble she caused this time..."

"Yuzhi, don't talk about the master carelessly." Yiqing interrupted her. Even if there was no one around, one should still be careful of eavesdroppers.

"Princess, please forgive me. I was just too happy and couldn't help myself." Yuzhi also realized that she was wrong and immediately knelt down to apologize.

Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes and that she was not a stubborn person, Yiqing said, "Forget it. I will not make a fuss about it this time. I will not do it again next time."

"Thank you princess."

Yiqing originally planned to put this matter behind her and continued to think about changing the emperor. She raised her hand and was about to let Yuzhi leave first, but suddenly an idea flashed in her mind and she stopped abruptly.

Concubine Wang fell into the water, and the Third Princess and the Fourth Prince were all present...

It seems like just a farce, but who says this is not an opportunity?

She suddenly raised her eyes and saw through the window frame the beautiful flowers, tall trees, and - the palace wall that blocked out everything in the distance.

The deep palace and high walls may seem magnificent, but in fact it is just a small area.

The world outside the palace walls is clearly much more vast.

She is trapped here now, maybe she should find a way out.

Yiqing thought for a moment and made up his mind, "Yuzhi, call Yuhan over. I need you to do something."
