Chapter 172 Give it a try
"When I first heard Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, I was so frightened that I fainted..."
As he spoke, the prince blushed.
There are many people who can hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, and there are many of them
in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion. And he is not the only one who exists in Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, almost everyone in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion is involved.
So far, no one who has been named by Zhu Xuntao has had a good ending, and this naturally includes himself.
It is precisely because of this that the prince feels ashamed.
His little cousin Xiao Miluo was just scared to tears, so why was he scared to faint that day?
When did he become so timid?
"And mother, I am not the only one who can hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice..."
As he spoke, the prince lowered his voice again and expressed his guess,
"I feel that everyone related to the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion can seem to hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice."
"Not to mention my uncle's family, my grandmother can hear it, and my uncle Xiao Yuanqi and others can hear it too."
Recently, the prince figured it out.
According to his observation, it seems that only people who have a very close relationship with the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion can hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice.
"..."
Now that the prince said so, how could the queen still insist as she did just now, saying that such a thing could not exist in this world,
"Your grandmother and others... can hear it?"
The people who can hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice are not just the prince?
"Yes, it seems that the first person to hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice was my aunt..."
The prince told the queen about the broken swing that day:
"If it wasn't for the sudden ability to hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, my aunt would have been misled by Zhu Yingyan."
"She almost thought that Zhu Xuntao was jealous that Zhu Yingyan's relationship with Mi Luo was better than hers."
"Because of jealousy, Zhu Xuntao deliberately destroyed the Bu Yao that the queen mother gave to Mi Luo, in order to achieve the purpose of destroying the relationship between Mi Luo and Zhu Yingyan."
Just one step away, if Zhu Xuntao's voice came out a little later,
because Bu Yao destroyed the gift from the queen mother, the eldest aunt who was furious and disliked Zhu Xuntao was just one step away from running to the palace
to ask the queen mother to make the decision and cancel the engagement between Xiao Jingzhan and Zhu Xuntao.
Xiao Jingzhan is the eldest son of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion and is the most valued by the queen mother.
If the queen mother heard the description of Zhu Xuntao by the eldest aunt, even if this marriage was arranged by the grandmother,
the queen mother would have to go against the grandmother's wishes and cancel the engagement between the two in order to save Xiao Jingzhan.
If the engagement is cancelled, and Zhu Yingyan is deeply loved by the people in Yongjing Marquis' Mansion,
then the development of subsequent events will be just as Zhu Xuntao said,
Zhu Xuntao will give up his position, and Zhu Yingyan will have to find a way to squeeze into the gate of Yongjing Marquis' Mansion.
The prince didn't want to think about what will happen next.
At first, he was shocked by Zhu Xuntao's voice, wasn't he shocked by such a development and ending?
Therefore, everything is really just a little bit off.
Because of Zhu Xuntao's voice, now everything has developed in the completely opposite direction of the original direction.
Whenever thinking of this, the prince felt his heart pounding.
The timing of this voice was too coincidental.
The prince did not dare to complain that it appeared too late, and could only sigh that it happened at that node.
The Queen's expression became more and more solemn:
"According to what you said, can't the Emperor also hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice?"
Zhu Xuntao's inner voice can help her prince and Yongjing Marquis's Mansion survive the disaster, which is naturally God's blessing.
However, if even the Emperor can hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, then the situation will be different.
The Queen knows that the Prince gave Zhu Xuntao this freedom because of his relationship with Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.
For a magical person like Zhu Xuntao who can know the will of heaven, other people in the royal family, especially the Emperor, will never let Zhu Xuntao go.
It is necessary to trap Zhu Xuntao in the palace in order to grasp the development of all situations,
and to prevent Zhu Xuntao from being caught and used by others to deal with the court in turn.
The prince's decision to let Zhu Xuntao stay in the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion was really too bold.
After all, who in the world can hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice? The prince was just guessing, and he was not 100% sure, right?
As long as an accident occurred, would the situation still be controllable?
The queen was much more worried than the prince.
"Not necessarily."
If he hadn't figured it out, the prince would not have mentioned Zhu Xuntao to the queen today.
"Although your mother married your father, your father is still the son-in-law of the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion."
"But your father is not your mother's husband alone, nor is he the only son-in-law of the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion."
"Mother, do you think your father's relationship with the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion is really close?"
Why can the master of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, so why can he?
I'm afraid it's not because of his status as the crown prince, but because he is close to the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion and
benefits from his status as the grandson of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.
The relationship between the crown prince and the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion can be said to be so pure.
The same situation does not work for the emperor.
The emperor is the master of the world, with three thousand beauties in the harem, how can he be considered the son-in-law of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion?
If the emperor is not the son-in-law of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, naturally, the possibility of the emperor hearing Zhu Xuntao's voice is very small.
"If this situation is not twelve points sure, then Zhu Xuntao will never appear in front of your father!"
The queen is more decisive than the crown prince.
Zhu Xuntao is the prince's consort of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, and now she has been conferred the title of a third-rank lady, so she should enter the palace to thank her for her kindness.
But Zhu Xuntao is a female member of the family, and her gratitude can be completely kept by the empress alone.
As long as it is handled properly, let alone Zhu Xuntao not entering the palace when she is the prince's consort,
even if Zhu Xuntao's identity becomes the marquis' wife because Xiao Jingzhan inherits the marquis' mansion,
she can still make it so that the emperor cannot see Zhu Xuntao before abdicating.
Since things have come to this, then just cover up Zhu Xuntao's true feelings in front of the emperor.
"Then does your mother want to see Zhu Xuntao first?"
The prince did not deny the queen's words.
Compared with being imprisoned by the emperor, Zhu Xuntao can only keep everything the same except that she cannot enter the palace to see him. This is already the best arrangement.
He believes that Zhu Xuntao will not mind such an arrangement at all.
If Zhu Xuntao is a competitive person who wants to show off in front of the emperor,
why has Zhu Yingyan entered the palace so many times, but Zhu Xuntao has never been there?
In fact, there has never been any trace of Zhu Xuntao in the palace.
What they have to do in the future is just to maintain this status quo.
"See you."
The queen gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble,
"Shouldn't she be given the title of Shuren? It's time for her to enter the palace."
"Besides, she has been married to Jingzhan for so long, she should have entered the palace to pay her respects to me long ago."
