"How did the mother and concubine persuade Aunt Minghui?" King Jin thought for a long time and couldn't help but ask Yun Fenghuang, "Not to mention that Aunt Hui seemed to have a bad relationship with the mother and concubine in the past. Even if they were harmonious, why would she bother to go there now? Is this muddy water? Or did the mother-in-law not tell her anything else but just this one thing?"
Originally, Yun Fenghuang found this difficult to pass, and Prince Jin was the most likely living child among all her biological children, so she did not intend to get too close to him.
But King Jin insisted on coming to visit every day, and explained that if Yun Fenghuang was really ill, he could only count on Chunjia in the future.
And can Chunjia like an imperial heir who took the initiative to distance himself when his biological mother was in trouble
Yun Fenghuang thought it made sense, so he allowed him to come and meet him, and also gave him some scheming lessons.
Listening to these words at this moment, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Today, my mother-in-law will teach you a good lesson: when looking for people to do things, you can lure them for profit in small and unimportant matters; but if it is a matter of life and death... profit, The effect may not be reliable.”
"After all, first of all, you are not sure if someone will offer a higher price privately; secondly, for some people, especially your Aunt Minghui, who is in a high position and is born with little need, no matter how much benefit you have, It is important, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of regretting it; thirdly, interests are closely and loosely maintained. Close because people have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, loose because once you let go of your greed for this benefit, then this temptation will Useless!"
"So at times like this, for the sake of safety, blackmail is more important."
"Mother, I made an exchange with your Aunt Minghui for the lives of Qin Gao."
"After all, even if the mother-in-law is dethroned, let alone Jieyu, even if she is nothing, given the mother-in-law's record over the years, is it still impossible to take away a few people before going on?"
"Especially Qin Gao and the others' biological fathers are unknown. The Yun family has been embarrassed by this."
"Even if the mother-in-law is unable to kill them before or after she is alive, as long as you give the Yun family a message and promise to be a cover for them, they will be happy to send those evil seeds away."
Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked King Jin, "Guess when did the mother-in-law think of your Aunt Minghui?"
"... Could it be after knowing that Xie Wuzheng deceived you?" King Jin pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.
Yun Fenghuang patted his head with satisfaction: "That's right! Remember, consider defeat before victory, especially in a situation where you can't afford to lose. If you can prepare for the worst, you must do the worst." Plan! Sui'an is the daughter of Xiaozong. Even though she has no power in her hands, she is very sensitive to her identity. Even your father, on the surface, can't force it, and even needs courtesy and favor. Therefore, things involving her , once she refuses to give up, then even if your father wants to sidestep her, it will be difficult to do so."
She paused and didn't say that she didn't trust Chunjia that much and didn't think Chunjia would blatantly do something that went against his image as a wise king for her own sake.
He continued, "Therefore, the best choice for the mother-in-law is to find someone who doesn't care about Sui'an's identity to suppress her. And there is no more suitable candidate for this candidate than your Aunt Minghui."
"One more thing, if you can prepare multiple back-ups for something, don't be lazy and prepare only one method."
"Besides your Aunt Minghui, my mother-in-law has other arrangements."
"Guess again, what is it?"
King Jin was thinking, but did not answer the question, but said: "Mother, concubine, now that Aunt Minghui is willing to go out and suppress Aunt Sui'an for the sake of my cousins, will you be fine?"
"This is impossible." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your Aunt Minghui's identity is sufficient. As for the mother-in-law, she has also been reminded of some of her practices. If it is criticized by the outside world, her identity , her current dying situation must be able to be solved. But there is one problem that no one, including mother and concubine, can do about her. "
"And if this problem is not solved, the mother-in-law will not be able to pass this level."
King Jin was surprised and asked: "What is the problem?"
"...is the true face of Concubine Mother!" Yun Fenghuang stared at him for a while, then sighed softly, "Concubine Mother, what she has shown to your father over the years is not her true self. The real mother-in-law is Concubine... don't mention it. Mother and concubine originally hid those past things well, but who would have thought that your twenty-first uncle was such a waste? It's okay to be tempted to become ambitious, and it's okay to give someone a hand. To put it bluntly, if your father had not been moved back then and did not want to be the emperor, could it be possible that the Ji family would have used a knife to force him to ascend the throne?!"
"You must know that the puppet emperor is also the emperor!"
"The key is that your twenty-one uncle is so stupid that he doesn't keep any cards for himself!"
"Even if he was incompetent and cowardly at first and failed to preserve Princess Sui'an's fertility and failed to leave a bloodline to rely on, over the years, whenever he noticed some flaws in the other party's evidence, he reported it to me privately... In the early years, he also You can say that I am afraid that I will kill him and silence him. After your eighteenth uncle passed away, how many of the main branches of the Xie family are there now?"
"As long as I can save him, can I still stand by and do nothing?"
"But he has been drifting along like this until today. He really couldn't stand it any longer, so I took the initiative to question him before he was willing to show his cards..."
Yun Fenghuang calmed down and did not continue to scold, and said slowly, "If I can't survive it, you will also have a hard time in the future. You must remember to learn more from your father and the prince at this time. Don't ever imitate your twenty-first uncle. If your father had been really well-behaved under Ji's hands, not using any tricks, being weak and obedient, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago! Never put your hope in other people's hands. Above kindness! Do you understand?"
"..." King Jin struggled for a while and whispered, "Mother, I still don't understand. My father has always liked you. Even if he knew, well, even if he knew some of the things you have done in private, he should not do anything. How about that? At most, at most, you can be angry for a while? It’s like when you beat your son and said it was for his own good, but when he inquired about it, he learned that except for him, no other brother or sister had ever been disciplined like that by you. I am also very unconvinced in my heart. But after all, I am my mother. After all, it is okay to be angry. Do I still have to worry about you? I have been your son for less than ten years. But you are here to serve me. Father, it’s been more than ten years?”
"Silly boy, how can this relationship between a man and a woman compare to that between a mother and her son?" Yun Fenghuang couldn't help laughing, pinched his cheek, and said with a smile, "For example, if you are my own biological child, even if you are my biological child, If you don't live up to expectations, I will be angry and hate you. I will try every means and use any means to earn a future for you. If, well, only we, mother and son, know this, we are not allowed to tell it: If your father did not live up to expectations back then. , what do you think the mother-in-law will do?"
King Jin blinked and whispered: "Well... yes, will you ignore your father?"
The corners of Yun Fenghuang's lips curled up slightly: "How could that be?"
King Jin breathed a sigh of relief and heard his own mother continue, "Of course it's for a change."
King Jin: "..."
"Okay, you're here today and it's almost time. It's time to go back to the front." Yun Fenghuang glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the room and said softly, "When you go back to Qiongjiu Palace, don't forget your homework. Also, follow more often. Prince Qin and the others should walk around a bit, and remember to care about the other brothers. Don't be too attentive, just treat yourself as a prince who is a friendly brother. Even if I am gone, you are still of the Tian family's blood, no worse than anyone else, eh?"
Watching King Jin leave, the slight smile on her lips gradually faded, and her eyes quickly turned cold. She asked Qingqing in a cold voice, "What's going on over there in the past? Is there any news?"
Qing Ren's expression was not so good: "To tell you the truth... There has been no movement from the previous court, as if this incident did not happen."
The expressions of the master and servant became solemn at the same time.
There is no movement, as if nothing happened, which is a very bad sign.
