Chapter 41 He knew that Shen Ruoli had been reborn?
"You mean, you want to use the Princess Consort of Chu to sow discord between Xie Xuansong and the Prime Minister's residence?"
Xie Xuanyin immediately understood her intention.
Now that the Chu Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are one, if Xie Xuansong hadn't really committed a grave mistake, the Emperor certainly wouldn't have done anything to him.
In the eyes of the Emperor, the incident at Tianzhao Mountain was nothing more than a minor squabble between Xie Xuansong and his two brothers, and was not a big deal.
Xie Xuansong had plotted against him first, so keeping him in Fuzhou was a small punishment to serve as a warning.
As long as the lives of the two brothers are not harmed, their father will not intervene.
Therefore, although the current situation seems to favor him, and Xie Xuansong appears to be surrounded by enemies in the court, the fact that his father has not yet issued an order to grant him a fiefdom and relocate him from the capital is enough to show that his father still has concerns!
Shen Ruoli's analysis is correct!
This woman is truly extraordinary!
No wonder Xie Xuansong was using her while simultaneously coaxing her.
No wonder he fell for Shen Ruoli in his previous life!
Among all the daughters of prominent families in the capital, probably none can compare to Shen Ruoli!
Previously, he only thought Shen Ruoli was somewhat clever, but at this moment, Xie Xuanyin truly looked up to her!
Perhaps only she is worthy to stand with him, to become his wife, his crown princess, and his future empress!
"Song Xuerou is just a concubine's daughter from the Prime Minister's mansion. Is she really that important to the Prime Minister's mansion?"
Can she really influence the relationship between the Prime Minister's residence and the Prince of Chu's residence?
Xie Xuanyin only thought about how to strike Xie Xuansong in the court, but he never thought that the court and the inner court were indeed closely related, and he never thought that a woman could be so useful, and even directly bring down Xie Xuansong!
In his eyes, Song Xuerou was nothing more than a concubine's daughter from the Prime Minister's mansion, the kind who was not valued.
What kind of impact can she possibly have?
What kind of threat could it be?
"Your Highness, don't underestimate women!"
In his previous life, wasn't he, the crown prince, defeated by this "little woman"?
Of course, Shen Ruoli only dared to think these words in her heart and did not dare to say them to Xie Xuanyin's face.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be like bringing up a sore subject?
She's going to be strangled to death by him today!
Shen Ruoli coughed nervously, "Although Song Xuerou is only a concubine's daughter of the Prime Minister's family, she is now the Princess Consort of Chu! Her status in the Prime Minister's family is incomparable."
"Although the Prime Minister's residence still has two legitimate daughters, I haven't seen Miss Song for a long time, so I don't know much about her."
Seeing that Xie Xuanyin did not interrupt her, she continued, "Miss Song used to be arrogant. But now she seems much more docile, and she really doesn't have the temperament of a legitimate daughter."
"Therefore, Song Xuerou must be Prime Minister Song's most valued daughter!"
"Isn't Song Xuerou's success today all thanks to you?"
Xie Xuanyin glanced at her.
He had previously disregarded Song Xuerou.
In his previous life, he had very little contact with that woman.
Even after being reborn, besides Xie Xuansong, his "number one mortal enemy" is that damned woman, Shen Ruoli!
Before this, he was only thinking about being wary of Shen Ruoli and dealing with Xie Xuansong, and had never seriously considered his father's psychology!
He only knew that he was the crown prince, and he had to work harder than his brothers in order to gain the emperor's attention, secure his position as crown prince, and put his mother and uncle at ease!
Yes.
If it weren't for his father's tacit approval in his previous life, would Xie Xuansong have dared to be so arrogant?!
Although he is the crown prince, perhaps his father has been secretly observing him and his brothers to see if he can secure his position as crown prince!
If he can't sit still, it's not impossible to find someone who can!
"Song Xuerou's current situation is indeed related to me. But she shamelessly followed me and even stole Xie Xuansong away in the end... Wasn't I also the one who suffered a loss?"
As soon as Shen Ruoli finished speaking, seeing Xie Xuanyin's expression, she quickly changed her words, "No, I should thank her for taking in Xie Xuansong, that scum!"
At this moment, Xie Xuanyin had no intention of arguing with her.
The thought that his father was tacitly allowing Xie Xuansong to do whatever he wanted weighed heavily on his heart!
Xie Yuanhe was not only a father, but also an emperor.
He loved his sons dearly, but he also had to choose the one who could truly secure the throne!
He thought he was the emperor's favorite son, but it turns out he was just too naive!
"Your Highness? Your Highness? Xie Xuanyin!"
Seeing that Xie Xuanyin remained silent, Shen Ruoli whispered in his ear.
"Um?"
Xie Xuanyin suppressed his bitterness deep in his heart.
"what's on your mind?"
Shen Ruoli rested her chin on her hand and said, "By the way, I met my brother today."
Although she knew that the man had sent people to watch her, Shen Ruoli thought that it was better for her to take the initiative to "confess" than for Xie Xuanyin to "interrogate" her!
So she told Xie Xuanyin everything about her conversation with Shen Rufeng.
“I originally planned to have my brother stay for lunch, but he said he had something to do at the Ministry of Revenue and left in a hurry.”
Xie Xuanyin was somewhat surprised by her candor.
Perhaps, joining forces with Shen Ruoli is indeed a good choice!
He looked at her intently. "Are you really sure?"
"What?"
His sudden question left Shen Ruoli completely bewildered.
She tilted her head, her brows furrowed. "Xie Xuanyin, I know you are the Crown Prince, and you have the authority over the Eastern Palace. But I'm only asking my brother to stay for lunch, and you can't even make that decision?"
Don't go too far, you scoundrel!
Xie Xuanyin: "...What I mean is, are you really sure you want to join forces with me to deal with Xie Xuansong?"
Shen Ruoli then realized, "So that's what you mean."
"Xie Xuanyin, are you out of your mind? If I hadn't thought it through, why would I make a deal with you?"
She was speechless. "I've done so much, can't you see any sincerity from me at all?"
They still doubt her!
"I simply cannot believe that you, who have loved Xie Xuansong for so many years, would suddenly become so heartless towards him."
Xie Xuanyin scrutinized him.
Shen Ruoli really wanted to make it clear: since everyone has been reborn, Xie Xuanyin should know how much she hates Xie Xuansong, even more than he does!
If Xie Xuanyin knew that she was also a reborn person, he probably wouldn't suspect her anymore, right?
So, Shen Ruoli tried to tell him...
"Your Highness should know what it means for love to turn into hatred."
She hesitated, considering her options, "However, my hatred for him doesn't stem from love. My feelings for Xie Xuansong aren't love; perhaps it's just a youthful obsession."
"Xie Xuanyin, if you were me, and your husband, children, and even your entire family died at his hands, would you... still love him?"
Xie Xuanyin didn't react for a moment.
He found the question rather ridiculous. "Husband, child? Shen Ruoli, are you dreaming? When did we have a child?"
As they were talking, Xie Xuanyin's expression changed!
He was so startled by Shen Ruoli's serious gaze that he stood up!
"you?!"
Xie Xuanyin exclaimed in disbelief, "What did you just say?!"
