Chapter 713 - 713 Surging Undercurrents
713 Surging Undercurrents
At this moment, a major event had occurred in the royal family.
Now that the prince regent had fallen, someone else had to take over.
At this moment, Liang Shengsheng had already arrived at the meeting room.
She was very confident and planned to take over the affairs of the prince regent.
The first prince, Liang Lingyun, had also arrived in the meeting room. He was already holding his head high.
They had already held a meeting about the replacement. This was the second meeting.
He did not think it was necessary to attend the last meeting because he did not think he would be the successor of the prince regent.
This time, he felt that he would be the successor to the prince regent. As the new prince regent, he had to show Liang Shengsheng his power on the first day.
He had long disliked his sister. She was too involved in many things.
This was especially true for the matters of the royal family. Although she had helped the Daliang Kingdom eliminate their greatest threat, she could no longer interfere in his plans.
The future heir of the Daliang Kingdom had to be him. If this continued, his position would be in danger!
Liang Shengsheng was a little surprised to see her brother here. “Lingyun, I thought you didn’t like attending occasions like these? Why are you here today?”
“Times are different now. My sister, as a woman, you should obediently get remarried and bear children.”
Liang Lingyun did not want to put on an act and went straight to the point.
Liang Shengsheng’s idle days were over.
Hearing Liang Lingyun’s words, Liang Shengsheng seemed to have understood something. Her face instantly turned cold. “The voting hasn’t started yet. Lingyun, aren’t you being a little too hasty?”
At this moment, they had already invited some respected elders to vote.
His father’s intention was to let them do whatever they wanted. Whoever the elders chose in the end would be the successor of the prince regent.
“Shengsheng, you should already know what the results are going to be.”
Liang Lingyun laughed in complete disdain. He became arrogant and despotic.
Liang Lingyun’s appearance could not help but make Liang Shengsheng feel a little disheartened. She only felt that her brother had completely changed into a different person. She also instantly understood that some of the bad things that had happened before were probably related to her brother.
They were biological siblings, but her own brother was siding with outsiders for power. It was a tragedy.
Liang Shengsheng composed herself and said with a tremor in her voice, “Elders, you can vote now. Those who voted for me, please raise your hand.”
After saying this, she lowered her head, not daring to look at who raised their hands.
Three days ago, there were five elders who were calling her arrogant and despotic. Although her third brother had helped her a lot, these five elders were too difficult to deal with. She still could not believe it.
“This… How is this possible!”
Instead of cheering, Liang Shengsheng heard Liang Lingyun’s shocked words. She could not help but raise her head and was also shocked.
Everyone present raised their hands in unison, including the five elders who had had a bad impression of her in the beginning.
“Liang Lingyun, you should have seen the results.”
Liang Shengsheng secretly let out a sigh of relief. She was not proud of herself, but she looked at Liang Lingyun dejectedly.
She really did not expect that her younger brother, who she grew up with, would treat her like this.
However, she also did not expect these elders to vote for her. How did her third brother do it?
“Damn it, just you wait, Liang Shengsheng!”
Since they had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, Liang Lingyun could not be bothered to continue being nice. He rushed out of the door fiercely and slammed it.
After exiting the main door, the second prince, Prince Liang Youdu was just about to enter to congratulate Liang Shengsheng. He ran into Liang Lingyun.
“Why are you here?”
Liang Lingyun could not say anything and glared at Liang Youdu.
Liang Youdu raised his eyebrows when he sensed his brother’s hostility. “Can’t I go in?”
Liang Lingyun rolled his eyes. “This meeting room is not a place you can enter!”
Liang Youdu grinned.
If this guy was not his elder brother, he would not have been so polite.
Liang Lingyun did not want to waste his breath on Liang Youdu. He was anxious to understand the current situation and left in a hurry.
Liang Youdu did not want to argue with Liang Lingyun either, so he entered the courtyard.
At this moment, Liang Shengsheng did not care about Liang Lingyun’s departure. She smiled and said, “Since everyone is still willing to let me take the position of the prince regent’s successor, I hope that everyone will not change their minds again. It is a waste of everyone’s time and effort to deal with matters related to the prince regent. Since everyone recognizes my ability, I will work even harder to run the prince regent’s upcoming matters well. I won’t let you down. Elders, you can leave now.”
Liang Shengsheng left happily.
She really wanted to find her third brother now. She was curious about how her third brother did it.
When he entered the office, Liang Youdu was already sitting on the sofa with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
“Youdu, I was just about to look for you.”
Liang Shengsheng was surprised and happy to see him.
“Congratulations on obtaining the approval of the elders.”
Liang Youdu stood up and handed the flowers to Liang Shengsheng.
Liang Shengsheng happily picked up the flowers. “Thank you, Youdu. Youdu, I still have things to deal with. I’m very sorry that I can’t stay with you.”
Liang Shengsheng sighed. It was a pity.
Liang Youdu shook his head. “It’s okay, Shengsheng. I’ll help you deal with things.”
On the other side, Jiang Ming was still frustrated.
The coachman continued to explain what had happened. It left him speechless.
He did not want to continue interacting with the coachmen, so he told Murong Kuan directly, “Prince Liang, I hope you can find a few more coachmen to send us there.”
His patience had reached its limit.
He felt that he was too good to these servants, which was why they were delaying them here.
Yue Ya seemed to have realized something and said, “I think what Lord Ning Caichen said makes sense. Prince Liang, let’s do as he says.”
“How can we find a new coachman in the wilderness? Why don’t we drive the carriage ourselves? Let’s find the way ourselves.”
Murong Kuan could not help but feel upset.
He did not bring any servants with him, so he had never seen the roads here before.
He was afraid that they might get lost.
Things would not be so simple after they got lost. It would take them a long time to reach the second princess’ palace.
“That’s it.”
Jiang Ming felt that it made sense, so he agreed.
The coachmen immediately panicked. “How can we let you drive the carriage? You are too noble to drive a carriage. Let us drive the carriage.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at one of the coachmen. He waved at him. “Come here.”
The coachman walked over curiously. His eyes were filled with confusion.
The moment he approached, Jiang Ming took out a silver needle and inserted it into him.
