Chapter 0961: Use Whatever Means Necessary
"Happy? Whether I am happy or not has nothing to do with him. We hardly meet each other. We live our own lives. At that time, he needed the support of the Wu family, and the Wu family needed the development of the relationship with the royal family. That's it." The queen shook her head and said some words from the bottom of her heart. She had never mentioned these words to others. She felt a little strange when she said them to Qin Chu. Perhaps she felt that Qin Chu was trustworthy in her subconscious.
"People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees only last for a season. You still have to live your own life and do whatever makes you happy. I believe that the queen has done enough for the Wu family and the Great Zhou Dynasty." Qin Chu said to the queen. In fact, he didn't say another sentence, that is, the queen's happiness has nothing to do with Zhou Lu. Similarly, the queen doesn't care about Zhou Lu's life or death.
"You are very good at persuading people, but as the queen, I am helpless many times." The queen shook her head.
After drinking a cup of tea, Qin Chu asked, that is, if Zhou Lu didn't want to abdicate, and Emperor Wu Zhou Zhentian intervened, who would be most likely to take the throne.
"In fact, my eunuch is most optimistic about Zhou Yuanshuo. As long as Zhou Yuanshuo nods, he will immediately become the crown prince and will soon ascend to the throne. However, Zhou Yuanshuo has no intention of this. In addition to his pursuit of becoming a strong man, he loves Shangguan Wan'er too much. To become an emperor, he must have a group of concubines and work hard to continue the royal bloodline. He doesn't want Shangguan Wan'er to be hurt. In addition to Zhou Yuanshuo, Zhou Yuanlong and Zhou Yuanzhen had the best chances before. Zhou Yuanlong made a fuss with you last time, but he didn't show his courage and ability and has lost his chance. The only ones left are Zhou Yuanzhen and Yuanxing. Yuanxing himself has no chance, but he has more support from Zhou Yuanshuo and me than Zhou Yuanzhen, which is an advantage." The queen analyzed the situation for Qin Chu.
"How can Zhou Yuanzhen be favored by Emperor Wu? Isn't Zhou Yuanqing also accumulating strength now?" Qin Chu was a little puzzled, because he felt it was not reasonable.
The queen smiled, "Zhou Yuanzhen's character is not very good, and he is not very likable, but he is patient, scheming, and has skills, so he can be considered a candidate who is capable of managing the country. As for Zhou Yuanqing, she thinks she has a chance and has been working hard, but in fact she has no chance at all. Even if I become the empress, she has no chance. This is also a case of the authorities being confused."
"Why?" Qin Chu was a little confused.
"Why? It's a very simple reason. I am a woman of the Zhou family. After becoming the empress, the next generation I support will still be a member of the Zhou family; but what about Zhou Yuanqing? Her future children will definitely not have the surname Zhou. Who will she support in the next generation? Will she support her son or her nephew? The reason is too obvious!" The queen patiently explained the reason to Qin Chu.
"It's better for the queen to work hard to become the empress, so that my life can be better. If Zhou Yuanzhen seizes the opportunity, it will be strange if he doesn't kill me." Qin Chu smiled.
"You deserve to be killed. The two women he loves the most are Ling Su and Yuan Haoling. You have ruined both of them. Don't you allow them to hate you? As for me being the empress, don't think about it. I can only be in power temporarily at most. I can't get the title of the great leader. The Zhou family's ancestors and Emperor Wu will not allow it. They are worried that I will improve my cultivation and they will not be able to suppress me. Another point is that I am a woman. I can be the queen of Zhou Lu or someone else. Do you understand what I mean?" The queen mentioned the things that made Qin Chu blush, and also talked about some of her own situations.
Qin Chu really understood this time. When thinking about some things carefully, there are really many things involved. From the current situation, it seems that the future battle for the crown prince is between Zhou Yuanzhen and Zhou Yuanxing.
"As for Yuanxing, he needs to train a little more. I will let him come back and let him enter the sight of those old guys in the royal family. Maybe in the eyes of others, Zhou Yuanzhen has a chance, but I can easily crush him. Don't forget Ling Su's existence. The moment Zhou Yuanzhen was cheated, or should I say the moment his wife was cheated, his luck was already low." A smile appeared on the queen's face.
"Being cheated also affects luck?" Qin Chu was surprised.
"How can it not affect? For a man, his wife is a part of his life. Ling Su is Zhou Yuanzhen's wife, a wife. In the past, she had many schemes, but she still helped Zhou Yuanzhen to ascend to the throne, and they were considered as one husband and wife. What about now? She is working for us, which is something you don't want. If you are willing, and you take Ling Su, then Zhou Yuanzhen will be even more finished. If Ling Su gives birth to a child for you again, what kind of blow do you think it will be to Zhou Yuanzhen? It will be a laughing stock of the royal family." Queen Wu said, her eyes kept looking at Qin Chu's expression.
After hearing what the queen said, Qin Chu stood up in shock, "I don't want to use women. We can't do this in this matter. Your Majesty, don't have this idea."
"Sit down. Did I force you? I didn't do that! I don't understand. What's wrong with this arrangement for you? Although Ling Su's character is not good, her own conditions are still good. Is it because she was Zhou Yuanzhen's woman in the past?" Queen Zhou motioned Qin Chu to sit down.
"It doesn't matter whose woman she is. I don't like her. This is the fundamental reason. It's a sin to let her give birth to a child for me, because it's hard for me to accept and like the child she gave birth to." Qin Chu said.
"Your attitude, this palace knows, and I won't arrange this way." The queen nodded and respected Qin Chu's decision.
"My Majesty, if she is useful, keep her, if she is useless, get rid of her, don't arrange for others to trample on her. I don't want to see the queen who does whatever it takes. That will make me feel scared." Qin Chu looked at the queen and said.
Looking at the serious Qin Chu, Empress Wu nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After hearing what the Queen said, Qin Chu nodded, and he was relieved. It was too scary.
After chatting for a few more words, Qin Chu got up and left. He felt that the royal family was really deep. Zhou Yuanqing would work in vain, while the scheming man Zhou Yuanzhen still had a chance. However, he was surprised that the Queen was willing to listen to his advice. He just felt that it was not good to do things too unscrupulously. Of course, Ling Su, who was unscrupulous, deserved whatever fate he had. Didn't he use the relationship between men and women to pit himself? ..
Qin Chu returned to the mansion while thinking all the way. When he returned to the mansion, he was still thinking about the situation in the Great Zhou. If it was before, he would not be so bothered. If he could mix, he would mix. If he couldn't mix, he would change to a place where he could mix. But now it is not possible. First of all, he married Shi Qingfei, and he had to consider the interests of Shi Qingfei and Lingyao Mountain. In addition, he had the qualifications to practice in the Xuling Tower. This was a shortcut on the road of practice and could not be given up easily.
In the palace, Qin Chu left and the queen fell into thought. She suddenly had an urgent need to improve herself. As long as she took one more step forward, she could control her own destiny.
