Chapter 354 What kind of bond is this?
System: [Because in the previous world line, the queen took the lead. In order to help the queen, that person needed to be a royal family member to do things, so she married the third prince. 】
The Third Prince: ...
Frog Fun, am I just a part of someone else's play?
Yuan Ruan was confused: [Ah? Using the identity of the concubine of the Third Prince's Mansion to help? How to help? ]
System: [A lot. First of all, this person can get a lot of information from the wives of officials and nobles. Secondly, she can enter the palace reasonably, pass on information to the outside world for the queen, and analyze the current situation for the queen. After that, she also persuaded the third prince to take her to visit the old subordinates of the old concubine, successfully stabilizing this group of people for the queen, and increasing the queen's bargaining chips.]
The queen paused.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince had complicated feelings towards this man.
Yuan Ruan interrupted the system after hearing this: [Wait, is there a bug in this? I remember Qi Kuan was in charge of two houses. Shouldn't the old concubine's old subordinates fall into his hands? ]
The hairs on Qi Kuan’s arms all stood up:!!!
Little Imperial Master, please stop talking nonsense! Grandmother's old subordinates are almost over 100,000 people!
Who dares to control her old subordinates? They will probably be killed by His Majesty on the very night of contact!
System: [Ah Ruan. Although Qi Kuan is the head of two houses, the Third Prince has always been somewhat jealous of Qi Kuan, especially after his two sons were involved in a treason case in the previous world line. The Third Prince was completely unwilling to let the younger generation come into contact with the old concubine's military power. He was afraid of being implicated.]
Yuan Ruan suddenly realized: [The Third Prince is very good at protecting himself. Then, why did the Third Prince give the power of the old concubine to the concubine? And how did the concubine maintain her power? ]
System: [Ah Ruan, I find this a little funny. The concubine hasn't started to use any tricks yet. She just analyzed the situation with the Third Prince in a very forceful way and explained the benefits of the Queen ascending to the throne. Originally, the concubine planned to use courtesy first and then force. Unexpectedly, the Third Prince suddenly felt that the concubine had the aura of the old concubine. The Third Prince felt very safe and agreed. The concubine successfully got the opportunity to get to know those generals. ]
Crowd: …
The system continued: [As for how to stabilize it. Those generals didn't care at first, but when the concubine wore armor, held a spear and rode a horse to fight with them in the martial arts training ground, and shouted about strategies, bonds, and favors! The generals accepted it.]
Civil officials: ???
What the hell? Why do I suddenly feel that the style of the painting is not right?
Several civil officials who sat close to the generals were puzzled. What kind of bond and favor was this? Was it really that awesome? Could it subdue the generals?! Should they also learn this trick?
Yuan Ruan was confused: [Ah? Tong'er, are you sure? This isn't a hot-blooded anime about fighting a boss. ]
The system swore solemnly: [Really? The generals agreed with bruised faces and noses, and they all became the Queen's helpers in her eventual ascension to the throne of the Empress.]
When Yuanruan heard the words "bruised nose and swollen face", he understood.
The civil officials also understood at this moment that, after all, military strength still determines everything.
The system continued: [And Ah Ruan, do you know why she got pregnant and gave birth to a child? Because of love. ]
The Third Prince's body paused: he was vaguely moved.
So is there still love?
Yuan Ruan: [Huh? She later fell in love with the Third Prince?]
System: [No.]
The Third Prince: ???
Wait, didn’t you say it was because of love?!
