Chapter 119: Choose One of Two
No one knows better than Jiang whether Zhao Xuan has the talent of an emperor.
The reason why that kid is now able to compete with Zhao Ling in the court is just because of two points.
First, he is the eldest son of Emperor Showa, and he was raised by Emperor Showa since he was a child, and he can be regarded as the one who received the most father's love among all the princes.
Second, he was fostered under the queen's knees, barely able to occupy the identity of the eldest son in name, and there were many old stubborns in the court, who were most interested in the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, thinking that this was orthodox.
Therefore, Zhao Xuan was able to get to where he is today, not like Zhao Ling, who climbed to his current position step by step by relying on his true talent, almost all his glory was given to him by others; In the past, it was Emperor Showa who gave it to him, and now it is Yonghe Palace who protects him.
If he really let him out to fight with Zhao Ling, Jiang knew that he couldn't fight Zhao Ling, who had overcome obstacles all the way.
Therefore, Chu Xingyue is right, Zhao Xuan is a pawn in her hands, but at the same time, she is also her fatal weakness.
She put her future glory and wealth and the rise and fall of her family's glory and disgrace on Zhao Xuan's body, so on the road of winning the heir, she can only succeed and never fail.
Now, the Jiang family also saw that Chu Xingyue repeatedly brought up Luo Yao's death just to pinch her.
I have long seen that this girl is a tricky person, but I didn't expect that she was actually holding back her bad energy in Luo Yao's matter; No wonder she dared to swagger at her banquet, she must have thought of countermeasures from the beginning, and she didn't dare to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang let out a cold snort.
I thought that I could clean up this stinky girl today, and by the way, it could be regarded as a warning to King Ling, warning him that if he wanted to move Zhao Xuan's status, he should also take care of her, the queen mother of the lord of the six palaces.
But now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the thing she did five years ago was known by this girl, and it seems that this girl has other intentions.
Now is the critical moment of Zhao Xuan's road to succession, and she will never allow any accidents to affect Zhao Xuan's splendid future.
Therefore, Jiang gritted his teeth and already had a plan in his heart.
Today, even if she gritted her teeth with hatred for this stinky girl, I am afraid she would not be able to rashly attack her; Not only can't she be touched, but she may have to make a little sacrifice to get rid of this fox-like cunning girl.
Thinking of this, Jiang was a little aggrieved.
Originally, she tossed this one just to rectify King Ling's Mansion, but she didn't expect that things had developed to the point where she needed to compromise with that stinky girl.
However, this grievance only stayed in Jiang's heart for a moment, and this woman has been able to come to this day, and her mind and perseverance are absolutely incomparable.
From the day he married into the royal family, Jiang understood a sentence: patience is not to make concessions, but to lurk for a future blow.
Today, she suffered several secret losses in the hands of Chu Xingyue in a row, all because she underestimated this stinky girl in advance.
But after this incident, she will never underestimate her in the future, but when she makes a move next time, it will be the moment when this high-spirited stinky girl is really unlucky.
Chu Xingyue stretched out her hand to caress the side of her beaten face, as long as the delicate skin was lightly touched, she felt hot and painful, and she didn't have to think about it, it must be swollen.
Jiang's old witch actually used so much force to whip her, it can be seen that she really hates her to the extreme.
And thinking that Jiang's hatred came largely from anger towards Zhao Ling, Chu Xingyue felt very wronged.
Since she became this Princess Ling, she has hardly lived a good life for a few days, and she has to deal with the rotten peach blossoms that Zhao Ling provoked, and now, even this old witch she has to deal with; She really felt that she must have owed him in her previous life, otherwise, how could she be affected by him to such an extent in this life.
Chu Xingyue's eyes flashed with indignation, looking at the mean and yin Jiang family, and he spoke mercilessly.
"Queen Mother, today you set up a Hongmen banquet for me, and I, too, Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword is intended for Pei Gong. We are both thousand-year-old monsters who have become fine, so don't look like dogs here in a human skin; To tell you the truth, I came to the palace for Luo Yao this time today. Just now, you slapped me in public, I will never let myself suffer, since I have received this slap for no reason, I have to ask for some benefits to go back no matter what. ”
Look, it's coming!
Jiang let out a sneer in his heart, "What do you want?" ”
Chu Xingyue dipped her fingers in the corners of her blood-stained mouth and said, "Five years ago, Luo Yao died unjustly on the charge of stealing, and I want the events of that year to be revealed to the world, so that the real evildoers will be punished." ”
Jiang didn't expect Chu Xingyue to offer such a condition, so he sneered on the spot: "Aren't you stupid, Luo Yao also had a part in the death of the palace back then, do you want me to stand up and tell the world that the palace killed an innocent person back then?" ”
"Queen Mother, you are right, you really couldn't get away with Luo Yao's death back then, but you are just a sword in the hands of others; At this point, are you still going to protect that idiot? ”
The corners of Jiang's eyes jumped, and he looked at Chu Xingyue with heavy eyes.
Chu Xingyue paced two steps in place, boldly stating her guess.
"But everyone who lives in the capital knows that the queen mother is very protective of the eldest lady Li Fuqing who loves the Zhenguo Mansion, and she was even raised in the palace under her knees and raised as her own daughter. Li Fuqing's infatuation with King Ling has long been known to everyone, if one day, the child who you regard as your daughter runs in front of you and cries and begs you to help get rid of your rival, out of love, the queen mother will not hesitate to agree to it. ”
Jiang's pupils shrank suddenly: "How do you know this?" Do you want this palace to hand over Qing'er? ”
Chu Xingyue nodded.
"This is impossible, that woman has been dead for five years, for the sake of a dead person, I want this palace to take Qing'er's life to exchange her innocence, this palace will never do this."
"The queen mother has to think about it, if you don't hand over Li Fuqing, His Royal Highness King Xuan will have a steady stream of troubles coming to the door."
Jiang's eyes sharpened, "You actually dare to use King Xuan to blackmail this palace?" ”
"Niangniang misunderstood, Niangniang's mother is the world, and she is surrendered by the four seas, how dare I, a little princess, coerce you?"
Chu Xingyue obviously said the most respectful words, but the expression on her face was diametrically opposite: "I just want to analyze the stakes with Niangniang to see if in Niangniang's heart, is it King Xuan who is important or Li Fuqing who is important?" ”
It was obviously such a gentle and soft voice, but at this moment, listening to it in Jiang's ears was like thunder, which made her unbearable.
"Back then, it was not the secret help of the queen mother who directly caused Luo Yao's death, nor was it the excuse of some people to play and push the boat down the river, if you really want to chase the murderer behind the scenes, she Li Fuqing will definitely not be able to escape."
The complicated look in Jiang's eyes like a calf protector confirmed that Chu Xingyue's thoughts in his heart were correct, who would have thought that the daughter of a court official, a girl who was alive and had no quarrel with the world, would die in a conspiracy that was crazy with jealousy.
Presumably Zhao Ling didn't expect that the person who killed Luo Yao in the end would be Li Fuqing, after all, Li Fuqing looked so innocent, all the joys, sorrows and sorrows were expressed on his face, transparent like a blank piece of paper, she only had to frown, she could guess what she was thinking.
However, such a person who seems to be as thorough as water is the initiator of the conspiracy five years ago.
Perhaps, since she was very young, Li Fuqing regarded Zhao Ling as her own possession, and when she discovered that this possession could become someone else, the madness and distortion in her heart would jump out like a beast out of the gate.
In order to be able to possess Zhao Ling, she used all kinds of tricks, even at the expense of harming the lives of others, and afterwards, she could appear in front of the victims who were hurt by her like a nobody, and continued to play her innocent appearance.
As soon as she thought of this, Chu Xingyue shuddered; For the first time, I felt that once a person's heart was twisted, it could be so terrifying.
Chu Xingyue had never seen Luo Yao, but from Yunxiao's mouth, she knew that she must be a very wonderful person, otherwise, she would not have missed Zhao Ling for so many years.
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue's heart was filled with a touch of sourness, she now understood what this sourness meant, but she couldn't say it and didn't dare to ask for it.
"Queen Mother, I just want Li Fuqing to plead guilty, so that the stigma on Luo Yao can be revealed; In your opinion, Luo Yao is a person who has been dead for five years, and even if the coffin board is lifted at this time, there will be nothing but a rotting corpse; However, although she is dead, who can understand the pain that her relatives have endured over the years? For her death, how many people are haunted by her and can't sleep day and night, and they are still burdened with the inability to protect her, and they can't live for her Zhaoxue's pain after her death. ”
"Why should those who live well suffer such consequences, while those who do evil go unpunished? Li Fuqing is no longer rude and willful, she relies on the power in her hands, relying on the connivance you give her, and trampling on other people's lives at will. The five years of glory and wealth and prestige have been considered free for her, and now, shouldn't she pay some price for the wrong things she did in the past? Or is it that in the heart of the queen, Li Fuqing is more important than King Xuan? ”
Of course, Li Fuqing is not as important as King Xuan.
However, the Zhenguo Mansion standing behind Li Fuqing could not be easily thrown away.
Chu Xingyue would not know that the reason why the Jiang family has been so indulgent to Li Fuqing over the years, in addition to pituring her life experience, the most important thing is that she wants to win over the Duke of Zhenguo.
The Zhenguo Mansion is a first-class noble family in the capital, and this generation of Zhenguo Gong Li Ze is a remarkable figure, not only has his own power in the court, but also because of the relationship with Emperor Showa since childhood, he has won the favor and trust of the Son of Heaven.
In order to help Zhao Xuan ascend to the throne, the Jiang family took out almost all the housekeeping skills, tried his best to win over the powerful family, and tried to suppress those who dared to oppose her.
At this time, Chu Xingyue forced her to hand over Li Fuqing, didn't she force her to turn her face with the people of the Zhenguo Mansion?
