Wishful Things

I'm afraid that if he does something wrong, in the eyes of the emperor, he will really become the accomplice of King Yan.

"Grandfather, do you think the late emperor really left any will?" Xu Mingyi asked.

It is always necessary to prescribe the right medicine to find a way. If you deal with it blindly, it is better to do nothing.

At least get as much of the truth out there as possible.

"I can't say that well..." Lord Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was remembering something, and spoke slowly: "But in my impression, the first emperor really liked King Yan more in private..."

After a pause, he continued: "But there is nothing special about this kind of liking, it can only be said to be human nature—"

Generally speaking, it is the kind of liking of "as long as he is not blind, he will like the second son more", rather than unreasonable preference.

After all, His Majesty King Yan has brought a lot of benefits to His Majesty, whether it is his mother clan or himself.

"Then in the eyes of grandfather, what kind of person was the late emperor?" Xu Mingyi asked again.

Those who are extolled by the population of the world can only be heard.

She believed in her grandfather's judgment and evaluation more.

On the one hand, my grandfather has always been quite accurate in seeing people, and on the other hand, he was a close person who lived side by side with the late emperor.

"The first emperor..." Mentioning this old man, Lord Zhen Guo sighed, and said: "The first emperor is a man with the world in mind, and he has unparalleled benevolence and virtue."

After he led a group of people to achieve some fame, he met the first emperor. At that time, he was convinced by the other party's character and mind, so he chose to walk with him.

At that time, I thought of a group of like-minded people doing something they wanted to do together, but I didn't expect to get the world by doing it.

Later, when the first emperor proclaimed himself emperor, he was enfeoffed as Duke of the Town. Although he felt his hands were tied in this capital, he was very relieved to see the world stabilize day by day.

Later, when the first emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, he suddenly understood what it meant to be truly restrained.

He watched the new emperor grow up. In his eyes, he was just a little boy, not even as prestigious as King Yan, but he kept in mind the previous emperor's instructions, and never had the slightest contempt and disobedience.

But now his mind is full of disrespectful thoughts, and he just wants to slap this bitch's brains out!

But such violent and bloody words can't be said indiscriminately, it would be bad if Zhaozhao was frightened.

"According to what my grandfather said, the late emperor was such a person, and when passing on the throne, he must have taken the world's major affairs into consideration."

Xu Mingyi speculated: "I heard that King Yan was not in the capital at that time, and the strength of the capital battalion was in the hands of Ji Xiu. Could it be that the former emperor chose to adapt to this situation because he didn't want to cause disputes and turmoil?"

"Perhaps there is also this possibility." Duke Zhen looked at his granddaughter and said, "I think, this is exactly what the current emperor thinks - he suspects that the former emperor was just forced by the situation, rather than passing on the throne willingly."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

If it is not willing, then there must be more than one layer of thinking behind this matter.

The emperor's suspicion is not groundless.

"If the late emperor really left something behind, and this thing was never handed over to grandfather, then there is only one possibility—"

The things are in the hands of Princess Jingrong.

In the last life, the death of Princess Jingrong even preceded the destruction of their Zhen Guo government.

Maybe she never took out the thing until she died, or maybe she didn't have it at all, so after that, the Xu family still couldn't escape the bad luck.

Of course, Emperor Qingming might have acquired the item, but even if there was no such suspicion, the Xu family would still have to die.

There are too many reasons for the Xu family to "damn".

But now, in order to keep some things, they have to deal with them one by one.

"However, Her Royal Highness is the emperor's biological sister. Even when she is sober, she may not reveal the truth. What's more, she is unconscious now, and it is even more difficult to test something." Zhen Guogong said.

Xu Mingyi said noncommittally: "Anyway, granddaughter, let's go and give it a try."

It is true that Princess Jingrong is Emperor Qingming's biological sister, but she was also the one who almost died under Emperor Qingming's hands.

As for insanity—

This point needs further observation.

Duke Zhen did not object to his granddaughter's decision.

It's good to have a try, knowing more will allow you to make more judgments, and it will be more conducive to the next coping game.

The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time.

...

The next day, Xu Mingyi went to the door of the eldest princess' mansion.

Because Princess Yufeng spends most of her days "coaxing children" in Princess Jingrong's courtyard, so Xu Mingyi was directly invited to Princess Jingrong's courtyard.

"Come and come, why don't you forget to bring something when you come back, it seems that you and I are so born."

Seeing Ah Kui holding a food box in one hand and a brocade box in the other, Lord Yufeng gave Xu Mingyi an angry look.

"Isn't this the first time I came to the door after a year?" Xu Mingyi said while speaking, looking at Princess Jingrong who was sitting cross-legged on the couch and playing with a nine-link ring, and said with a smile: "Besides, there is a child in your family now, so it is not easy to empty-handed, but they are just pastries and gadgets, not expensive things."

Hearing the word "little child", Princess Yufeng glanced back at her mother, and whispered in Xu Mingyi's ear, "It's very deceiving, and it's not very smart. A nine-link ring can keep her quiet for half a day..."

And the eldest princess who heard that there were pastries, threw Jiu Lianhuan aside at this time, stood up, and asked with bright eyes: "Miss Xu, what kind of pastry is it? I happen to be hungry too!"

Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "I put on everything."

While speaking, Ah Kui had already handed the food box to the nurse in charge.

The eldest princess urged to open it, and the mammy did so with a smile, and put the plates of snacks on the small coffee table in front of the soft couch.

Xu Mingyi sat down and drank tea.

During the chat, Princess Yufeng and his friends asked about Cai Jin.

"On the Lantern Festival last night, at the Lantern Market, the one that your second uncle was carrying with him was that Miss Cai, right? There were so many people at that time that I didn't even have time to ask you."

Xu Mingyi nodded: "It's Miss Cai."

Princess Yufeng said without hesitation in front of her friends: "Your second uncle really believes her? Didn't everyone outside say that this is the eyeliner sent by the palace?"

Although the one in the palace is her own uncle, no matter how close the uncle is, they are still separated by a palace wall. Inside and outside the palace wall, there are two people, so it is still far from being close to her and Xu Zhaozhao.

Who does her heart turn to more, then naturally there is no need to say more.

"Yes." Xu Mingyi took a sip of tea and sighed helplessly.

Princess Yufeng let out a soft "tsk".

It's understandable that an innocent young man who has never experienced anything in the world is easy to be fooled——

How could even an old man be so easy to deceive?

Good night.
