Chapter 68: Just a pawn
"If you want to take advantage of the opportunity of the side concubine to enter the palace and let me recruit the fourth sister into the palace together, then there is no need to say it, I will not agree." Xiao Ruoying interrupted him in advance: "If I don't speak first, do I want to agree, just with Ye Jinchen's temperament, does my father think he will allow two spies from the same place around him?" ”
The longest of those women in the palace has been in the mansion for two years, hasn't that man also taken care of it, just by virtue of Xiao Yingying, if she can see Ye Jinchen to death, then she will take off her head and kick them as a ball.
Xiao Yi was a little unhappy when she blocked her back before he could speak, but he had to admit that what she said was very reasonable, but he naturally couldn't admit it for the sake of face, so he looked serious: "Presumptuous, this is your attitude towards talking to your father?" Who said that the old man asked you to bring your fourth sister into the Dust King's Mansion? ”
"It's good if it's not, even if I'm too careful." Xiao Ruoying deliberately took the jade pendant in her hand and played with it, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the appearance of the jade pendant to see how the other party reacted: "Then I don't know what my father wanted to do when he called me over?" ”
Xiao Yi was thinking about her own affairs and didn't seem to notice what she was holding in her hand: "What do you think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
Xiao Ruoying knew what he was referring to, but she didn't bother to discuss this issue with him, and pretended to be stupid: "I don't understand what my father meant." ”
Xiao Yi frowned fiercely: "My father knows that you also have a heart for His Royal Highness the Prince, although you are now the princess of dust, but it is not that you have no chance, your father still hopes that there are some things that you can think through by yourself, you are still young and have no ability to identify people, for fear of being used, someone should still give you some guidance in everything." ”
Xiao Qingran pursed her lips a little impatiently, she didn't come here today to listen to him tell her big truth.
However, since this man has no special reaction to Yingyu, it means that he also doesn't know the importance of this thing, so his guess is correct, Yingyu should be a thing from his mother's family.
Baifu - The mansion of the former criminal department Shangshu was raided overnight and put on a big hat, so is there any direct relationship between the fall of Baifu and Yingyu?
"When I chatted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for my father in the first few days, I found that His Highness had a lot of regret in his words, His Royal Highness's character is precious, since he values you, you shouldn't hang his face too much, since some things have passed, let it pass, it's useless to think about it." Xiao Yi was still gushing: "At that time, my father asked you to marry into the Dust King's Mansion to let you have a better life, but since the Dust King's mind is no longer on you, then you have to make more plans for yourself." ”
Xiao Ruoying laughed, her eyes full of mockery: "Make plans? How to plan? Father means that I shouldn't be ignorant and do things against Ye Chengfan? But don't forget, father, when you forced me into the king of dust, you pushed me into the fire pit, and now my father called me over to talk because he thought that I was a pawn and wanted to use it again, and you think I was really stupid enough to be at your mercy? ”
She hooked her lips and raised her head to take a step forward, stopping the other party before he got angry: "Father, don't be in a hurry to refute or reprimand first, there is no one else here, I just want to save some time for my father, you want me to be the same as before, I am afraid that it is impossible to pounce on Ye Chengfan with one heart now, but I think that my father can't tell the man truthfully with such an answer." ”
Xiao Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but choked back when he saw the other party's confident expression.
The deeper the smile in Xiao Ruoying's eyes, a flash of calculation quickly flashed in her eyes: "You just want to get some news about Ye Jinchen from me, but my father is also clear, according to my relationship with that man now, it is absolutely impossible for me to betray him, after all, in a sense, I am in the same boat as him, and if that man falls, I will not have much chance to live." ”
"Don't say that you will help me then, I don't think my father will believe it." She twisted the jade pendant in her hand, and then gently tossed it up and down: "And even if I dare to say that I'm afraid Ye Chengfan won't believe it, but there is one other thing I can tell my father and let you go back to the errand." ”
Xiao Yi frowned, completely unaware that he was being led by the nose now: "What's the matter?" ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't said the conditions yet." Xiao Ruoying grasped the opportunity and said: "I don't want much, my mother's dowry when she married into the Xiao Mansion, as long as my father promised to return all those things to me, I will tell you." ”
At the beginning, Bai Li'er was the only concubine in the Bai Mansion, her father and mother were favored, and the dowry would naturally not be less, and those things would never be small, but now that Xiao Yi was suddenly asked to take it out, I am afraid that this Lord Xiao will have to spend some time and hemorrhage.
Xiao Yi was naturally reluctant, but he didn't refuse directly, but said cautiously: "Then let's see if your news is worth the old man's price." ”
"Of course, you won't be disappointed." Xiao Ruoying raised her eyebrows: "Although Ye Jinchen is favored by His Majesty, he is the younger brother of the king, even if His Majesty really wants to pass on him one day, it will be unjustifiable, just those ministers will make trouble for some time, compared to that man, it stands to reason that there is a person who should be more noticed by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Who?"
"His Royal Highness King Kun." Xiao Ruoying's eyes flashed: "In the harem, Concubine Ming Niangniang is deeply favored by His Majesty, and is even comparable to the queen's mother taking six palace affairs, and this King Kun is also like a fish in water in the court, and there are many old ministers who support him, he is the most capable prince to compete with the prince, if the prince and the king of dust fight, who does the father think will benefit?" ”
Xiao Yi's eyes sank and began to ponder what she said.
Xiao Ruoying continued: "In other words, the prince has all his eyes on Ye Jinchen, this man is not a good stubble, although he rarely fights back, his ability is well known, if he is forced to rush to His Majesty one day to blow some wind in front of His Majesty and make His Majesty annoy the prince, then who should be the one who finally receives the crown prince?" Is it the Dust King? ”
She sneered, and her tone was mocking: "Father is not a fool, don't tell me that you didn't see that Ye Jinchen's man didn't have the intention of coveting the throne at all." ”
Xiao Yi could naturally see it, but it was just ......
"Just because he doesn't have it now doesn't mean he won't have it in the future."
"Well, even so, that's your business, it has nothing to do with what I said today, I'm just a reminder." Xiao Ruoying said in a deep voice: "I only have one news about Ye Chengfan, he is holding something very deadly for the prince in his hand. ”
