Chapter 588: Wolf Fight
Hua Lingyi spoke slowly after hearing this.
"Just live your life well and don't worry about me. This Jingsi Palace is pretty good. At least it's quiet and away from disputes."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Sister, no matter how quiet it is here, you can't stay here forever, and, and..."
Seeing that Concubine Shu seemed to be hesitant to speak, Hua Lingyi asked.
"And what? You've always been straightforward. When did you become so hesitant when speaking?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu looked at Hua Lingyi and finally spoke.
"Sister, I can't leave the palace casually, so I've asked the Third Prince to go to the Crown Prince's... Prince Jin's mansion to visit Prince Jin. Prince Jin's condition seems to have worsened, and the guards in the mansion have been a bit slack. He doesn't seem to be having a good time."
Hua Lingyi squeezed the Buddhist beads in her hand.
"Didn't the Emperor care?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu spoke.
"The Emperor has been asking Doctor Hu to treat Prince Jin, but the results don't seem to be very good. Sister, you better get out of this Jingsi Palace. Otherwise, who will care for Prince Jin?"
Hua Lingyi lowered her head and looked lonely when she heard this.
"Now, this outcome is already a mercy from the Emperor. If I ask for anything more, I'm afraid..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu spoke hurriedly.
"Sister, I have already written a letter to the Ji family, asking them to help find a famous substitute husband. There must be some way. The Third Prince has already sent people to look for him. I have also watched Prince Jin grow up. Now that you can't get out, I will worry about you."
Upon hearing this, Hua Lingyi looked at Concubine Shu with a look of gratitude.
"We have been sisters for many years, and we will never betray this friendship."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu looked at Hua Lingyi with an unwilling expression.
"Sister, are you willing to accept this? Just watch them being so proud? Especially Noble Concubine De, who is now so powerful in the palace. I won't accept this anyway. And if you stay here all the time, what will happen to Prince Jin? Children without a mother to protect them are always vulnerable to being wronged."
Hua Lingyi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly felt that there was some ambition in Concubine Shu's eyes.
"So what does my sister want?"
Concubine Shu pursed her lips and spoke.
"They are both Imperial Concubines, and both have been granted the throne. Why are Imperial Concubine De and Prince Yao so powerful? Sister, if they really become the Empress and Crown Prince, Prince Jin's life will be difficult. Sister, I know you have worked hard for many years, and you must have some trump cards in your hand. Sister, can you help me? Just think of it as helping Prince Jin. Prince Wu has always respected Prince Jin as his brother. In the future, when you and Prince Wu are on good terms, he will protect you and Prince Jin."
Upon hearing this, Hua Lingyi looked at Concubine Shu. It seemed that this person always wanted to climb higher. Well, she couldn't just sit there and watch Xu'er. If she wanted to struggle, she would give her a push.
"Sister, if you really want to earn it, remember to be careful. They are not simple people. You must discuss any action with me first, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu excitedly reached out and held Hua Lingyi's hand.
"That's great. I know my sister loves me the most. From now on, as long as my sister is around, I won't be afraid of them anymore."
After being busy in the court for a few days and eliminating a lot of the forces of the Prince's Mansion, Jun Moyong came to the Bai Mansion again.
After some greetings, Jun Moyong looked at Jun Moye and hesitated to speak.
"Cousin, can Ayong ask you a question? Please tell me the truth."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye looked at him and spoke.
"Well, go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong's gaze moved between Jun Moye and his wife.
"Cousin, are you back this time because of the case at the Prince of Qin's Mansion?"
"Ayong wants to hear the truth from my cousin."
After hearing this, Jun Moye's expression became serious and he spoke slowly.
"Ayong, your concerns are not unfounded. My husband and I do wish to overturn the Qin Palace case, but even more importantly, we hope to ensure everlasting friendship between Tianyuan and Baise. Although Baise City has an army of 200,000, we have no intention of becoming an enemy of any nation, let alone getting involved in any conflict."
Su Hanchu added on the side.
"We are willing to cooperate with you because of your noble character. You are different from the average royal family member and have a good relationship with A'ye. We also see your potential and determination, and we believe you can bring a better future to Tianyuan. After all, the lives of the people depend entirely on the decisions of those in power. As for the matter of the Qin Palace, we only ask that the truth be revealed so that the deceased can rest in peace, rather than exploiting it for personal gain."
Jun Moyong felt relieved when he heard this. He looked at the two of them gratefully and said.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I deeply admire your righteousness. Please rest assured, if you are willing to give Ayong more advice, and when Ayong grows up, I will definitely restore justice to the Qin Palace. At the same time, I will also work hard to consolidate my power and contribute my own strength to the prosperity and stability of Tianyuan."
Jun Moye looked at him after hearing that.
"Prince Yao, do you know what it means to clear the injustice of the Qin Palace case?"
Jun Moyong spoke in a deep voice after hearing this.
"Ayong understands. Cousin, please rest assured. Ayong knows what his choice is."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye looked into Jun Moyong's eyes.
"That's your father, the Emperor. Are you really willing to overturn what he did back then?"
Jun Moyong spoke with a troubled look on his face when he heard this.
"Cousin, the emperor's favorite son is not me, or rather, none of us who have been crowned kings recently are. We are all princes. When Jun Moxu was the crown prince, we princes were suppressed to death. The fourth prince has been away from home all year round to avoid the disputes in the imperial city. The fifth prince is like a transparent person. As for the sixth prince, cousin, you know at least what kind of life he leads.
Although I came of age several years ago, I didn't even have a decent residence outside the palace. Ever since Jun Moxu was promoted from Crown Prince to Prince Jin, all of us princes have been given royal titles and palaces, and important errands have been assigned to us, either with power or with troops. Cousin, you're incredibly insightful. What do you think our father is going to do?"
Jun Moye seemed to speak as if he was no exception when he heard this.
"The struggle for succession has been a constant struggle for the throne for all dynasties, and the Jun family is no exception. My uncle was devoted to training Jun Moxu, but he turned out to be a waste. Now, we need to choose a new heir who is both virtuous and talented. So my uncle's intention is probably to watch you all fight like wolves, and wait for whoever emerges victorious to become the heir."
