Chapter 017: Emperor Jin's thoughts
The dispute between the royal family of the Jin Kingdom was indeed tragic back then, and in just a few months, it was full of blood and countless dry bones. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it weren't for the great loss of the vitality of the Jin Kingdom at that time, I am afraid that this continent would have been unified now.
It is not easy to survive a war like that without breaking its wings.
"Lao Jiu can have today, it is because he is the smartest and knows how to forbear. Even if there was Concubine Gong who was bent on planning for him and helping him ascend the throne, he could endure it! ”
Yan Sui noticed that when talking about Concubine Gong, Emperor Jin's eyes were filled with a trace of hatred, and his hands were subconsciously clenched into fists.
"No matter what, now you are the Emperor of Jin, and he is only the King of Chen." Yan Sui also roughly guessed a little bit of Emperor Jin's thoughts.
"I heard that Concubine Gong will go to King Chen's Mansion tomorrow, the princess is a smart person, you should consider yourself and the Yan family in the Xia Kingdom, and choose a better path." Emperor Jin looked at Yan Sui and said word by word.
Yan Sui frowned slightly, listening to what Emperor Jin said, didn't Concubine Gong live in the palace? And Emperor Jin seems to be even more jealous of this Concubine Gong, otherwise how could he find himself at this time?
"The emperor has a good reputation, and the courtiers are just an ordinary woman......"
"Princess!" Emperor Jin's voice suddenly rose a notch, and he had almost said clearly, "The princess should think about it, once the Chen Palace's mansion no longer exists, what should you use to compete with the Xia Kingdom, and what to protect your elderly grandmother." ”
"If you cooperate with me now and get what I want, I can naturally help you get what you want." Emperor Jin finally said what he was thinking, he wanted to let him help him find the evidence of Chu Lingtian's intention to rebel, so that the biggest hidden danger in his heart could be removed.
Yan Sui was reluctant to get involved in the battle of the Jin royal family, but now it seems that it is impossible to get out of this situation.
"Since the emperor knows that the courtiers live in a quiet house, he should think that the prince does not want to see the courtiers. What the emperor wants, the courtiers are afraid that they will not be able to get it. Yan Sui said.
"The princess is a smart person, can't she think of a way to get close to Lao Jiu?" Emperor Jin didn't give Yan Sui a chance to refuse, "The princess must know that if one day King Chen's crime of rebellion is confirmed, then you, as a princess, will not be able to get rid of the crime, and the only one who can save you at that time is me." ”
"Since the emperor has said it so clearly, the courtiers seem to have no choice." Yan Sui lowered her eyes slightly, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.
"Hahaha...... The princess is really righteous, different from ordinary women! Getting the answer he wanted, Emperor Jin laughed a few times.
Yan Sui smiled lightly on his face, but he sneered in his heart. Emperor Jin thought that he had taken advantage of her weakness to coerce and lure her, but he didn't know how she Yan Sui was such a person who was still at the mercy of others.
After this incident of Jin Huang, Yan Sui's mood was extremely bad, and he felt even more bored during the banquet.
After the banquet was dismissed, he found an excuse to say goodbye to the imperial concubine.
Out of Yonghe Palace, when passing through the imperial garden, there was a sound of piccolo wafting in the wind. The flute sound was melodious and soothing, and Yan Sui couldn't help but stop.
Following the prestige, I saw a man in Tsing Yi standing in a high pavilion playing the flute from a distance. It's just that the distance is too far, and Yan Sui can't see this person's face clearly.
"Who's playing the flute there?" Yan Sui asked the little eunuch who led the way in front, in the inner courtyard of the palace, today is the birthday of the imperial concubine, and ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to enter here.
When the little eunuch saw Yan Sui asking, he glanced up, and immediately said, "Back to the princess, that person is Nangong Qi, the prince of Zhou State, and he often stands there playing the flute on weekdays." ”
"The crown prince of the Zhou Kingdom?" Yan Sui is a little strange, haven't you heard that the Zhou State has an embassy in the Jin Kingdom?
Thinking of something, Yan Sui immediately asked the little eunuch for confirmation: "Could it be that he is the proton sent to the Jin State by the Zhou State ten years ago?" ”
"Back to the princess, exactly." The little eunuch replied with his head down
Ten years ago, she was still young, and the reason why she could remember it all at once was because there was also a prince in the Xia Kingdom who had a good relationship with her that year and was sent to the Jin Kingdom as a hostage, but it was a pity that the prince of the Xia Kingdom died of illness in the third year of the Jin State as a hostage.
As a hostage in another country, not only can he protect himself, but also get the title of prince, if this Nangong Qi is not a cowardly puppet at the mercy of others, he is a very terrible and scheming person.
As if noticing the situation, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and the people in the pavilion seemed to be looking at their location......
"Let's go." Yan Sui said lightly.
"Princess, the man seems to be watching us all the time." After walking a distance, Amber whispered to Yan Sui.
Yan Sui couldn't feel that gaze, but thinking that she really had no intersection with the crown prince of this Zhou Kingdom, and there was no need to get acquainted, so she didn't know that he was watching.
"He looks at him, and we will go with ours." Yan Sui said.
When he returned to the palace, the people in the palace came in and out, very busy, seeing Uncle Zhang, Yan Sui couldn't help asking: "Uncle Zhang, what are you all busy with?" ”
"Back to the princess, the concubine will be here tomorrow, and the slave is asking her subordinates to clean up the yard." Although Uncle Zhang said calmly, for some reason Yan Sui always felt that Uncle Zhang was a little strange.
"Uncle Zhang, what is the relationship between this Concubine Gong and the prince? Is it the prince's mother? Although she had never heard that King Chen's mother was still alive, apart from this speculation, Yan Sui couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.
"Although the concubine is not the biological mother of the prince, she has taken care of the prince since she was a child, and she is very good to the prince." Uncle Zhang said truthfully, "Although the prince does not call the concubine 'mother concubine', he respects the concubine very much in his heart. ”
"Where is the concubine's residence? Seeing everyone walking towards Jinmo Garden, is it near Jinmo Garden? Yan Sui thought that in the future, I was afraid that I would have to go to see the ceremony often, and it would be good to ask clearly.
"Yes, it's the Zizhu Hall on the side." After Uncle Zhang replied simply, he said, "The princess just came back from the palace, she must be tired, go back and rest." ”
"Okay." Although he felt that Uncle Zhang was strange, Yan Sui still did not continue to explore, and went straight back to his secluded home.
"Miss, you're back." Shui Xi saw Yan Sui coming back, stepped forward hurriedly, and said softly, "The prince seems to be back, and something seems to have happened to Jinmo Garden......
"Where did you hear that?" Hearing this, Yan Sui's face immediately sank, recalling the look on Uncle Zhang's words just now, it seemed that he was really hiding something.
"Just now, the maid wanted to go to Jinmo Garden to find Qian'er, but I didn't want to see a few black-clothed people from a distance who actually climbed over the wall with a person on their backs......" Shui Xi said with still palpitations, "The maid thought it was a thief at first, and thought about going to call the talent quickly." ”
But as soon as he wanted to turn around, he saw Qian'er come out, and hurriedly helped a fainted person in with the men in black. Later, Steward Zhang suddenly ordered someone to start cleaning Zizhutang......" Shui Xi looked at Yan Sui and said with some worry, "The maid didn't dare to act rashly, so she came back quietly and waited for the princess." ”
