Chapter 346: The Most Ruthless Emperor Family
"Ah, don't worry, just like you said, everything will definitely be fine."
Zhao Jingxuan looked at Jiang Liang's solemn expression, walked to her side, and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, trying to calm her emotions.
It is said that pregnant women are thinking too much, and Jiang Li's sad appearance makes his heart can't help but pinch it.
Jiang Liang looked away, glanced at him, and then shook his head slightly.
"No, I'm not worried about the locust plague. We do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, as long as we do everything we think of and can do, we are worthy of our hearts. ”
Of course, Jiang Liang was not worried about the locust plague, she knew that the manpower was limited, and it would not be easy to wait for them.
But she had racked her brains and considered every possibility she could think of.
She even specially asked Zhang Qingting to help develop pesticides, planning to wait until she got to the place to try it, maybe she could reap miraculous results.
Other than that, she has nothing to help Zhao Jingxuan.
She could only be by his side, accompany him when he was tired and painful, and lighten his burden.
This is also the reason why Jiang Liang repeatedly insisted on following Zhao Jingxuan's side.
She knows that she is now a pregnant woman who needs to be taken care of by others, and there will definitely be some inconvenient situations, but she still hopes to help Zhao Jingxuan in her own way.
As for her low mood at this time, on the one hand, it was because of the melancholy of parting, although she knew that with Jiang Yun's sensible and capable, she would definitely be able to take care of Qinghui Pavilion, but she still couldn't help but worry about her.
On the other hand, it is about Zhao Jingxuan's future.
"Ah Xuan, what do you think of Prince Rui?"
At this time, the couple was standing on the deck, and the breeze was blowing in the middle of the big boat, which made people feel a little drowsy.
There was no one around, so Jiang Liang dared to speak, and asked softly the questions that had been left in his heart for the past few days.
She didn't think much about it when she promised Prince Rui to participate in the Imperial Chef Competition, and it was a chef's competition.
She didn't really take it too seriously.
But now it is not just such a simple matter as the Imperial Chef Dabi, once Zhao Jingxuan participates in the control of the locust plague this time, in the eyes of outsiders, he is undoubtedly on the side of Prince Rui.
If this Prince Rui just wanted to be an idle prince, they wouldn't cause much trouble.
But in this situation, she can see that this prince's ambition is not small.
"Prince Rui, does he have that in mind?"
Jiang Liang opened her mouth cautiously, considering the wording, she didn't know if Zhao Jingxuan could understand her words.
Zhao Jingxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, naturally he heard the meaning of her words clearly.
His eyebrows frowned slightly, in fact, he had not been troubled by this question these days.
As a secret guard, his identity is destined for him to know many royal secrets, which naturally includes some things about this Prince Rui.
This Prince Rui has always been the emperor's very important son, but he was not born to the queen, his biological mother was not very high, and he has always been cautious in the palace.
Prince Rui has the influence of such a mother, and he is very low-key on weekdays, and he has not done anything earth-shattering, but the errands that the emperor has given him have always been done well.
It can be said that Prince Rui is an existence that will not be ignored in the court, but it will not attract too much attention.
But this time, he actually changed his low-key style in the past, and instead took the initiative to take on such trouble, which also made Zhao Jingxuan feel very puzzled.
And the other party obviously has the intention of wooing, which Zhao Jingxuan will never be mistaken.
"He might want to fight."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Jingxuan still told Jiang Liang what he thought.
"Although the crown prince is born by the queen, his qualifications are mediocre, if he governs the Qing Dynasty according to His Majesty's policy, it is okay to be a monarch who keeps it."
"But the problem lies in the prince's character, he is too arrogant, he is so happy, and he is not a person who will honestly follow the law of his ancestors."
Zhao Jingxuan, as a secret guard, also knew the emperor's thoughts to some extent, and he could see that the emperor's sons were the same to him, but among them, he undoubtedly valued this Prince Rui the most.
Don't look at the emperor who didn't show a preference for him, but judging from his arrangement of Prince Rui, you can taste a little meaning.
As for the other princes, there are honest and uninhibited, and some princes don't seem to have much intention of the throne, but how much camouflage and how real it is is not something that can be summarized in one sentence.
"So, you're actually very optimistic about this Prince Rui?"
Jiang Liang listened to Zhao Jingxuan's analysis of several princes, and faintly had some kind of guess.
"No, it's not the time yet."
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but smile faintly at Jiang Liang when he heard this, reached out to help her brush the broken hair that fell on her face, and slowly explained.
"Your Majesty has not been as healthy in recent years as he used to be, but he is not so sick as to be anxious to find a successor."
Zhao Jingxuan thought about it for a long time and vaguely guessed the emperor's thoughts.
He was watching and watching how several princes fought openly and secretly. You must know the cruelty of the throne, the successor has always stepped on the corpse. ”
"So, the current situation in the imperial court can be said to be the result of the emperor's indulgence?"
Jiang Li's bold guess, after getting Zhao Jingxuan's affirmation, couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
Although she had long known how cruel and terrible the politics of bloodshed was, she had no idea that the emperor was actually cultivating the next generation of successors by raising Gu.
What a cold-blooded and ruthless royal this is!
"So, do you think Prince Rui doesn't have much chance of winning?"
Jiang Liang knew that Zhao Jingxuan didn't plan to stand on Prince Rui's side, but she felt that this prince was capable.
She didn't know what Zhao Jingxuan was considering, so she asked directly.
Zhao Jingxuan shook his head when he heard her ask.
"No, it's the opposite."
Zhao Jingxuan knew very well that the emperor valued and loved Prince Rui, and with his keen hearing, he clearly noticed the existence of a third person in the room when he looked for the imperial study that day.
According to his speculation, this person is most likely Prince Rui.
Combined with Prince Rui's actions now, he is even more certain of his guesses.
The more this is the case, the more he can't easily stand in line, otherwise once Prince Rui's succession to the throne fails, he will bear the brunt of it and be regarded as a thorn in the side by his successor.
Zhao Jingxuan didn't dare to take risks easily, you must know that he is not alone now, he must not let go of Jiang Liang and leave them alone.
"Ah Li, you should remember one thing, no matter what, there is only one thing we should do, and that is to be loyal to Your Majesty."
