Qin Ye suddenly looked up: "???"
Southern Tour?
Let King Chen take King Li away?
Madam An said slowly, "Your father has agreed to Jiaojiao's marriage to Prince Li. The palace will issue an imperial decree soon. However, Prince Li's biological mother passed away early, and the emperor doesn't like him very much. You should ask Prince Chen to take care of him more."
Qin Ye immediately understood An's purpose.
Prince Li is not favored, Prince Chen is the most favored, and she wants Prince Chen to support Prince Li.
How is this possible!
There are so many princes but only one throne. How can the one with the greatest chance of becoming king support the weakest?
If Prince Chen does this, the Emperor will be suspicious.
What's more, this matter involves the dispute between royal family members and princes, and is no longer a simple fight in the mansion.
An's heart is too big!
Qin Ye refused immediately: "Mother, you think too simply of Prince Chen. He is a prince, how could he support another prince? If this matter is not handled well, it will implicate me, my third sister, and even you will not be able to escape the blame!"
It is a big taboo for a little woman to interfere in the dispute between princes.
An knew the pros and cons of this.
"Xiao Ye, you must help Jiaojiao. Now that you are favored, you should find a way to take care of your sister. Do you want your sister to never be able to hold her head up after marrying into the Li Palace?"
"She is your biological sister!"
She insisted on using the three words "sister" and was forcing Qin Ye.
Qin Ye refused again: "I can agree to other things, but this matter involves the royal family and may cost lives, so I won't do it."
An frowned.
This is the only way!
Prince Li is not favored, and only with the help of Prince Chen, Prince Li will have a chance; only when Prince Li rises, Jiaojiao can become the superior Princess Li!
"What royal family dispute, what loss of life? You are overthinking the problem," An said, "I just asked Prince Li to go on a southern tour with me. Why does it cost his life?"
Every year, the imperial court would send people to inspect various counties to sympathize with the people, understand their lives, settle unjust cases, and help the people.
At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to make meritorious service.
As long as she leaves the king, she can seize the opportunity, demonstrate her abilities, and then have the chance to show off in front of the emperor.
"I don't care, you must let Prince Chen take Prince Li with him!" An said in a cold and hard tone.
Qin Ye frowned, "I really can't do anything. I can't influence the affairs of the court."
"Then you should think of a solution."
"you!"
Qin Ye almost got angry.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will be fatal.
"mother!"
"You still know that I'm your mother?!" An's voice suddenly rose, "Then do you know what I went through when I was pregnant with you?"
"I am the concubine brought in by the master. I am under the rule of the mistress and two legitimate daughters. When I was pregnant with you, it was winter. The mistress didn't like me and forced me to wash clothes by hand in the well."
"It was winter! It was snowing, I was eight months pregnant, my hands were frozen to pieces by the icy water, I fell in the snow, and almost died..."
"I gave birth to you and worked hard to raise you and your sister. I hoped that you would work hard enough so that one day, you could stand proudly in front of the lady and avenge me! I hoped that you sisters could support each other and make progress so that you could live a good life. But you..."
An pointed at Qin Ye with a shaking hand, her eyes red:
"You, after becoming the Princess of Chen and being favored, have forgotten mother, forgotten the suffering mother has endured over the years, and forgotten the grace of mother in raising you. You have such a cruel heart..."
