Chapter 127: Pretending to surrender, counter-espionage
If someone else said this, he would definitely beat that person up.
But Deng Youning was different. Han Shaoxi thought that she was setting a trap and waiting for the prince to fall into it!
"We asked my uncle to agree to join the crown prince, but the crown prince had to promise that if he won the throne, he would make cousin Xinxin his queen."
“Only in this way will he not suspect that the Han family is pretending to surrender.”
"From the Crazy Lion Village, the Qi Condensation Platform, and the assassins raised by the Wu family, it can be seen that the prince's rebellious intentions are obvious."
"He originally wanted to use Deng Xuelian to seize the Deng family's military power. Now that he failed, he has shifted his target to the Han family."
"Perhaps before we even noticed, the Zhennan Army guarding the border had already become his possession."
At this point, everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
Deng Youning's analysis was very logical and to the point.
Han Qiongyue's heart was filled with shock.
If Ning Ning hadn't returned to the Duke's Mansion and eliminated the troublemaker Deng Xuelian in advance, and removed the prodigal son Deng Zheng, I really don't know how much trouble this family would have caused for me in the future!
"Since he is pretending to surrender, he will not really let our Xinxin marry that unkind and unjust prince in the future, right?"
Shi asked worriedly.
As a mother, her daughter's lifelong event is what she cares most about.
Ever since the Han family fell into decline, the mother and daughter started doing business, which had long delayed their daughter's good marriage.
Not to mention the prominent families, even the small families in the city were unwilling to marry the daughters of merchants.
Without waiting for Deng Youning to explain to her, Han Xinxin spoke first:
"Mother, don't worry. If the prince really dares to raise an army to rebel, he will be dead if he enters the capital."
"By then, Grandfather and Dad will use a counter-espionage strategy and work together with the Deng family army to wipe out Jun Wenci's rebels. Perhaps they will be awarded military merit and be summoned back to the capital."
Deng Youning nodded in agreement.
When he looked at Han Xinxin again, there was a hint of admiration for her in his eyes.
It turns out that women who do business abroad have an extraordinary vision.
It also resembles the style of my grandmother when she was young!
"That's exactly what my cousin said. This is You Ning's humble opinion. I hope you can give me some advice."
Han Shaoxi waved her hands repeatedly, "Niece, if what you said is considered foolish, then those of us who have no ideas at all will have no face to live in this world!"
"Haha, Ning girl is really far-sighted and strategic." Deng Ren also praised her.
"Well, this strategy of killing two birds with one stone is truly ingenious and impeccable!" Han Qiongyue looked at Deng Youning with satisfaction. She always had unexpected surprises.
Everyone agreed with this.
"I will write down this plan and have someone bring it to Grandfather."
Jun Chenyi reacted and wanted to deliver the letter.
Li Tianzhuo stopped him.
"Ninth Prince, I'm afraid your cousin has already told the disguised lady about this plan and asked her to bring it along."
Li Tianzhuo still understands Deng Youning's thoughts better.
Everyone then realized that Deng Youning was not asking for their help in making suggestions. It was obvious that he was confident about the matter and had already executed it, and he was just notifying them.
She had no choice. This was the only way to save Han Xian and the Han family at the moment.
"Azhuo, the Silver Dragon Guards still need to investigate how Jun Wenci hooked up with the Zhennan Army."
Deng Youning did not forget to remind.
Even if she didn't say it, Li Tianzhuo would naturally not forget it.
If the prince had not put on such a good show for them today, no one would have thought that he really wanted to gather troops for rebellion.
After the Qi-accumulating platform was destroyed, you can't sit still anymore?
"County Lady Youning, thank you for finding a way to save my brother."
Han Xinxin walked up to Deng Youning and bowed to her with gratitude.
Deng Youning felt a little ashamed and hurriedly helped her up.
"What are you doing, cousin? We are a family, why would you say thank you?"
"You Ning is ashamed. I haven't visited my second aunt and cousin in the six months since I returned to Beijing. If you two don't mind, our two families will visit each other more often in the future!"
She held Han Xinxin's hand and felt that she got along very well with this girl.
To have a sister was something she had dreamed of for both lifetimes.
What's more, the business of the Han family's mother and daughter is booming, and she will have to learn more from them in terms of business in the future.
"This rain keeps falling. I wonder when the prince will set out for Qingzhou?"
Deng Ren looked at the gray sky outside the door, praying that something might happen somewhere else.
"Eunuch Fu said at the morning court today that His Majesty was not feeling well. He indeed looked exhausted and spoke weakly. I wonder what happened?"
Deng Yan'an suddenly became concerned about the emperor's health.
"What else can it be?"
"If you ask me, it's just retribution for doing too many bad things!"
Han Shaoxi said without restraint.
Han Qiongyue gave him a knife-like look.
"You can only say this at home from now on!"
Jun Chenyi couldn't do anything about him and sighed helplessly.
Deng Youning was very curious when she heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill.
"Grandma, can you please go out for a while?"
She asked mysteriously.
Han Qiongyue became interested and wondered what this clever girl was going to do next.
"My granddaughter wants you to go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother what disease His Majesty has."
"Your Majesty's poor health is a matter of national importance. I'm afraid even the Queen will conceal it. But I heard that Your Majesty listens to the Queen Mother the most. If the Queen Mother asks, she will at least give some clues."
"I suspect that your majesty's illness is strange and may have something to do with the non-stop rain."
"So, if we can know this, it will be more beneficial for us to deal with the Crown Prince next."
Deng Youning has a meticulous mind and does not miss any detail.
Han Qiongyue understood what she was thinking and knew that she should investigate it carefully.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace sometime."
Han Qiongyue agreed to the matter immediately.
Today happens to be the day when everyone is here, and she wants everyone to have a reunion dinner together.
Li Qinghuan and Mu Hao were also invited to the banquet.
Unfortunately, Jun Wenying couldn’t come out of the palace. If she could come, Deng Youning would be happier.
*
The northern part of the city is low-lying, and when it rains, the accumulated water there cannot be drained out for a long time.
An extremely luxurious carriage passed by on the muddy road.
Jun Wenci had just obtained the military power of the Canglong Guard from the emperor, which was known as the strongest fighting force in Dongji.
He was so happy now that he wanted to find Lian'er quickly to share the good news with her.
In a three-courtyard house, Deng Xuelian was sipping top-quality tribute tea while selecting gold jewelry sent by Fengxiang Tower.
She also had these things when she was the eldest daughter of the Deng family.
However, the He family was raided and all her dowry was confiscated.
All of this is the fault of those two bitches Deng Youning and Han Qiongyue.
Looking back now, she realized how stupid she was at the time. She even ignorantly thought that Commander Li had his eyes on her.
It’s ridiculous that he actually helped Deng Youning from the very beginning!
"Girl, the young master is here."
The voice of the maid reporting the news broke Deng Xuelian's thoughts.
When she heard that Jun Wenci was coming to see her, she quickly tidied her hair and ran out deliberately without an umbrella.
Jun Wenci felt his heart tremble when he met Deng Xuelian, who was so busy running to see him that she was out of breath and didn't even have an umbrella.
She still has their baby in her belly!
