Knock knock!
Outside the window, Yin Yao covered her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open, and she could hear her own heartbeat clearly.
Just now, when Yin Ji was talking about Zhao Muyun, he was called away before he finished speaking, which aroused Yin Yao's strong curiosity.
So she followed quietly, intending to eavesdrop on whether her brother and father would talk about Zhao Muyun.
Because she overheard from her father that the emperor was going to marry her to Zhao Muyun.
Now that my father has asked my brother to go, he will definitely discuss this matter.
Unexpectedly, after listening for a long time, Yin Yao actually heard his father and brother secretly discussing something earth-shattering.
Thinking that she had no control over her marriage and life and had become a political tool, Yin Yao felt disheartened.
On second thought, Zhao Muyun was the same. He completed the transformation from a border soldier to a captain in just half a year.
In the eyes of most people, Zhao Muyun is already a rare talent, but in the end, he is just a chess piece in a game between multiple parties.
Yin Yao suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
She also had the urge to leave the two relatives in the room.
The love of his father and the doting of his brother seemed ridiculous in the face of the temptation of political interests and power.
Yin Yao's eyes were red, but then she became determined, as if she had made some decision. She tiptoed out of the study, returned to her boudoir, and packed up her things.
"Miss, why are you packing up your things all of a sudden? Where are you going?"
Seeing her young lady's abnormal behavior, the personal maid Qingluan looked confused.
"Shh, don't say anything. If the master asks, just say I went out to visit relatives and friends." Yin Yao said in a low voice.
"Miss, you... you don't have any relatives or friends in Jinyang. Are you running away from home?" Qingluan was horrified. "Are you planning to run away from your marriage?"
The fact that the emperor was going to grant the young lady a marriage was already known to everyone in the Prince of Jin's mansion, except for the newly returned Crown Prince Yinji.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yin Yao was pestered by the maid and said impatiently, "You have also heard from the storyteller that the man I am going to marry has three heads and six arms, a green face and fangs. How dare I marry such a monster? Run away now."
"But I have been serving you since I was a child. How can you leave me alone in the palace?" Qingluan said, "Besides, what if you go out alone and encounter bad people? I will go with you, so that you can have someone to look after you along the way."
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. None of the guards in the palace are my match! Do I think I am afraid of those petty thieves on the road?" Yin Yao disagreed to bring Qingluan along.
"Miss, please take me with you! Please!" Qingluan begged bitterly.
"Okay, come with me! But you have to change into the clothes of a servant." Yin Yao shook his head.
Having received the young lady's permission, Qingluan was overjoyed and immediately rushed to help Yin Yao pack her bags.
After a while, the two men bypassed the guards and quietly left the palace.
"Miss, where are we going now?"
"Well, why don't we go to Shuozhou?"
"ah!"
.......
Just as Yin Yao and Qing Luan packed up their things and slipped out of the palace, the conversation between Yin Ji and his son was about to end.
"Ji'er, you and your Yao'er haven't seen each other for several months, let's have a good chat!"
Yinxun said, "When she gets married and becomes a woman, I'm afraid you and your sister will become somewhat distant."
"I understand. When I entered the mansion just now, I met my younger sister first!" Yinji said in a deep voice, "She asked me about Zhao Muyun."
“That’s a good thing!”
Yin Xun's eyes lit up. "Zhao Muyun comes from a humble background and is a soldier. By marrying Yao'er to him, he is marrying up and it is unfair to Yao'er."
"I was worried that Yao'er would strongly object, but I didn't expect her to take the initiative to inquire about Zhao Muyun."
"Father, in fact, although my master came from a poor family, his talent is rare in a century." Yinji said.
Yin Xun nodded. "Then we should win him over and make him our most loyal ally. Talk to Yao'er for a while, then rush back to Shuozhou and be with Zhao Muyun."
"He is now the captain of seven prefectures. Not long ago, he defeated the Northern Di Tartars. His reputation is growing."
"I will also use my power to make the marriage between Yao'er and Zhao Muyun come true as soon as possible."
"Since Your Majesty wants us to be the grindstone, then let us be the hardest grindstone possible. In the process of grinding away the Crown Prince's edge, we will gradually strengthen ourselves."
Yin Xun paused. "After you go to Shuozhou, I will send someone to keep in touch with you. The Wang family of Jinyang has already secretly pledged allegiance to us."
"Wang family?" Yinji frowned.
"The man who saluted you when you entered the study just now was Wang Pan, the patriarch of the Jinyang Wang family!" Yin Xun introduced. "The over 100,000 taels of silver and 30,000 dan of grain and fodder that came from the Wang family."
"Father, it turns out that you have been in contact with the Jinyang Wang family for a long time!" Yin Ji said in surprise.
"The Wang family is a prominent family in Hedong. With their secret support, we have gained another force among the gentry." Yinxun's face was full of fighting spirit at this moment.
Maybe he had ambitions before, but he hid them very well, making the prince and others look like good kids and no threat.
Now that a great opportunity has arrived, his ambition is beginning to show.
"As for Jinyang, everything depends on my father's plan. I'll take my leave first!" Yinji bowed.
"Go!" Yinxun waved his hand.
Yinji turned to leave, and just as he reached the door, he heard a servant running towards him in a panic:
