Although they didn't say anything sarcastic due to the presence of King Zhenbei, the glances they cast at him were enough to make Mr. Jiang feel uneasy.
Mr. Jiang really didn't expect that Yu Zizhen would grow to such a weird level right under his nose.
Especially since she was a girl who had pretended to be her brother and was brought to Beijing as a hostage, and no one would take good care of her.
Comparing her with Yu Zicheng, who was carefully trained by the Zhenbei King and his wife, Yu Zicheng was immediately thrown into the stinking ditch.
Of course, this really cannot be blamed on Yu Zicheng for being incompetent. In fact, Mr. Jiang feels that Yu Zicheng is really not inferior to any heir of a big family in Da Qi.
But who made him so unlucky that he had to deal with a sister like Yu Zizhen who was so extraordinary? Under the other's light that was as bright as the scorching sun, his little candlelight became insignificant.
Under the questioning of the King of Zhenbei and his colleagues,
Mr. Jiang patiently told over and over again what he knew about Yu Zizhen.
The more King Zhenbei listened, the more he felt that his daughter's scheming was truly unfathomable.
You know, she was only seven years old when she left the Zhenbei Palace. At such a young age, she already knew how to use her own advantages to control him and the Zhenbei Princess, and even Mr. Jiang.
She repeatedly used both offensive and defensive tactics to refuse the Princess of Zhenbei from sending people to her side. She obviously did not fully trust or rely on the guards belonging to the Zhenbei Palace.
In just over ten years, she recruited and trained a large number of people who had nothing to do with the Zhenbei Palace and were only loyal to her. Then, taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, she openly built up a force and became a powerful figure who could compete with him and the Duke of Jingguo.
this......
The more the King of Zhenbei thought about it, the more he regretted that Yu Zizhen was not a man.
If she was really his eldest son, he would definitely not abandon her like that. How fulfilled he would feel now!
Thinking of this, King Zhenbei's expression suddenly became complicated.
He felt both proud and regretful, both remorseful and heartbroken, but he couldn't blame Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang is one of his most trusted and relied-upon aides. In the eyes of King Zhenbei, he is a real old fox who has become a master.
Yu Zizhen actually deceived Mr. Jiang, who lived in the same mansion with her and was more cunning than a ghost. How could she deceive most people in this world... It's really strange!
The King of Zhenbei could not accept that the fat meat he had set his eyes on was taken away by someone else, especially by his own daughter.
After a long sigh, he began to discuss with his staff how to quickly take over the territories that he had long been eyeing but were intercepted by Yu Zizhen, as well as the territories that Duke Jingguo had previously been eyeing but were also intercepted by Yu Zizhen, without bloodshed.
After discussing for less than an hour, they reached a consensus because they all worked together.
With the unanimous agreement of his staff, the King of Zhenbei quickly organized a diplomatic team.
Relying on his natural advantage as a father, the King of Zhenbei decided to send an envoy to negotiate with Yu Zizhen, asking her to be a filial daughter and hand over all the land, population, wealth, and army she had obtained to him as her father.
With the unanimous recommendation of his subordinates, he handed this glorious and arduous task to Mr. Jiang, who was most familiar with Yu Zizhen.
Mr. Jiang knew very well that the difficulty of this task was absolutely hellish. He cursed his colleagues in his heart, but on the surface he had to honestly take on this thankless task assigned to him by the King of Zhenbei.
After all, as his colleagues said, he had indeed seriously misjudged Yu Zizhen, and it had also caused a lot of trouble for the King of Zhenbei. He had to atone for his sins.
However, thinking about how difficult Yu Zizhen was to deal with, Mr. Jiang had no confidence in the success of his mission.
At this point, he just had to bite the bullet and do what he was supposed to do.
Unlike the Duke of Jingguo and the Prince of Zhenbei who almost immediately determined that this Yu Zizhen was that Yu Zizhen, the Princess of Zhenbei's first reaction after learning about this was "This is impossible."
She didn't want to believe that the daughter whom she disliked so much was so much better than the son whom she had always held in the palm of her hand.
She shook her head vigorously and said firmly, "That's impossible. You must have made a mistake."
Yu Zicheng, who came to deliver the news to her, was very troubled. He knew that his mother would definitely find it difficult to accept it, but no matter how difficult it was for her to accept it, Yu Zicheng had to force her to calm down as soon as possible and face reality as soon as possible.
He said to Princess Zhenbei, "Mother, the person who came to deliver the news to our Zhenbei Palace had seen my elder sister more than once in the capital before. Because they were afraid that they had mistaken her, they chased after her and took a closer look at her."
Although that family went to great lengths to confirm his sister's identity, it wasn't just out of curiosity or kindness; they were so dedicated because they had designs on the Zhenbei Palace. However, compared to what they asked for, the intelligence they brought was obviously more valuable.
Be it the Prince of Zhenbei or Yu Zicheng, they didn't mind that family using the information about Yu Zizhen to exchange for a future and some protection with them.
He advised Princess Zhenbei, "Mother, what you should do now is not to vehemently deny this matter, but to think about how to deal with it."
Given his mother's dislike for his eldest sister, if he didn't inform her in advance, Yu Zicheng was sure that she would be so surprised that she would show inappropriate emotions in front of his father.
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhenbei took several deep breaths before she managed to calm herself down.
She asked Yu Zicheng, "What was your father's reaction? Did he tell her what he planned to do with that evil girl?"
Yu Zicheng pretended not to hear his mother call him "evil daughter." "Father was shocked at first, but then... I guess he was both surprised and regretful."
In fact, Yu Zicheng is feeling very uncomfortable now. His biggest impression of Yu Zizhen is that she looted his small treasury before leaving, and after she left, she always sent various school supplies to him and his father's illegitimate children, and assigned all kinds of strange homework.
In short, in the eyes of the other children of the King of Zhenbei, Yu Zizhen is an absolutely unpleasant devil.
In addition, they had often heard their own mother gloatingly tell them and the servants about the negative rumors about Yu Zizhen in the capital, so they actually held an attitude of rejection and contempt for Yu Zizhen.
However, now someone told them with certainty that the man who was despised by all of them and abandoned by the King of Zhenbei was actually so powerful that he had the ability to compete with the King of Zhenbei for the world.
Who can believe this? Who dares to believe this?
