Fan Yunxiao took a few breaths to think, then stared at the handwritten notes in his hand.
"Achi, do you think it's possible for me to use this opportunity to bypass my three brothers and have Father pass the throne to me?"
As long as we work hard, there should be a chance to do it.
But Baichi grasped another key point.
"Xiao Hei, the Fifth Prince hates Long Yang. Didn't you find this information?"
From this point of view, the one who ascended the throne was most likely the fifth prince, so all their male concubines were buried with him, but the female concubines did not.
"Is there? I haven't heard of it."
After hearing what Fan Yunxiao said, Xiao Hei began to reorganize his information.
But unfortunately, it did not collect this information from anyone, not even the Fifth Prince himself, and there is no written record.
Xiao Hei explained it quickly. If it had this information, it would have analyzed that it must be the fifth prince's ascension to the throne. Why go around in such a big circle?
Bai Chi certainly believed in Xiao Hei's ability, but he also believed what Fan Yunxiao said.
Just at this moment, I heard Fan Yunxiao say that he wanted to borrow this information.
"If there's no opportunity, create one. But judging by the emperor's complexion, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for much longer. If you really want to do it, you'll have to hurry up."
The two of them discussed treason right on the bed. It must be said that they were really bold.
Especially Fan Yunxiao, isn’t he worried at all that there are ears on the other side of the wall?
Although Bai Chi had already confirmed that there was indeed no one around, even in the entire main courtyard.
Is it that Fan Yunxiao trusts his subordinates very much, or is it that his strength allows him to ensure that there is no one else around?
Bai Chi guessed it should be the latter, otherwise it would be too insane.
After he finished speaking, Bai Chi asked again: "Yunxiao, how do you know that the Fifth Prince hates Long Yang? There are so many male concubines in the palace, and I don't think he has any reaction?"
Fan Yunxiao curled his lips: "It would be strange if he had any reaction. Father has already started to choose a male concubine. Even if he is unwilling in his heart, he will definitely not show it."
Bai Chi: “…”
He was so stupid that he actually forgot this. Besides, they were still counting on the emperor to pass on the throne, and it was even more impossible for them to directly oppose the emperor. Anyway, the old emperor only had a few years left to live.
"But I remember that more than ten years ago, when the fifth brother was just leaving the palace and setting up his own residence, a nosy official gave him a male concubine. As a result, the official was dismissed the next day, and the male concubine was beaten to death."
"So until now, even those officials from the Fifth Brother's faction dare not openly take male concubines. Even if they do, they keep it secret and dare not let the Fifth Brother know."
Bai Chi was just listening to gossip at first, but then he was surprised: "You are so far away from the border, and you know so much about the things in the capital?"
Fan Yunxiao said he was so excited that he didn't notice that he was exposed. When Bai Chi asked him about it, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Just a moment.
Then he answered frankly: "After all, he is a prince. If he didn't have any power, how could he survive until now, let alone go to the border to make meritorious deeds."
As he said this, he looked at Bai Chi in a deliberately mysterious manner.
"And Ah Chi, I haven't been at the border for the past ten years."
Bai Chi's eyes widened for a moment: "No way, did you sneak back to Beijing?"
Then Fan Yunxiao kissed her and hugged her and rolled into the quilt.
"Achi is so smart!"
Bai Chi struggled for a long time before finally kicking the man away. Looking at Fan Yunxiao's lewd smile, he rolled his eyes.
After all this time, it turns out that this is also a case of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
After a while, Fan Yunxiao finally explained his situation clearly.
Just as he said, the prince's rebellion was true. His mother was the queen's maidservant during her dowry. She was not implicated, but she really participated in it.
Since she is a maid who comes with the dowry, she naturally has close ties with the queen and is a blood relative. The so-called maid's favor is originally to make the family have another imperial concubine.
Later, the rebellion failed. Except for Fan Yunxiao, who was only five years old and knew nothing, almost everyone else died, especially the queen's mother's family, whose entire family was executed.
But there were some who slipped through the net and escaped, including those who had received favors from the queen's mother's family, those who followed the former crown prince, and those who were disgusted by the sorcery that bewitched the people.
Although there are not many of these people, they have been hiding in the capital and slowly transferring their expectations of the former prince to the little Fan Yunxiao.
Fan Yunxiao is young, but he is indeed wise and foolish. What's more, he relied on his own ability to pretend to be stupid and was kept by the emperor, and he is still alive and well.
With the support from all sides, those who once had high hopes for the former prince transferred these emotions to Fan Yunxiao.
Even though Fan Yunxiao was completely different from the previous prince, he even left the power center of the capital and went straight to join the army.
His outstanding performance on the battlefield once again aroused the interest of those people, and they have been secretly helping him until now.
After saying that, Fan Yunxiao secretly told Bai Chi a few names.
Bai Chi was shocked: "They?"
These are all officials holding important positions in the capital.
Fan Yunxiao nodded proudly: "Before I even arrived in the capital, someone asked me what I thought, but I wasn't interested in that position at the time, so I never responded."
Anyway, he has been living a carefree life for more than 20 years. If things really don't work out, he can take the spoils he has collected from the wars and raids in recent years and find a place to live a carefree life.
But now, he has changed his mind.
"Don't worry, Ah Chi. When the time comes, I will personally take you out of the cold palace!"
Bai Chi, who was about to ask something, burst out laughing: "I've been out for so long, what else do I need you to answer?"
Fan Yunxiao shook his head: "No, Ah Chi, you don't understand. Anyway, just wait."
Bai Chi originally wanted to ask, you told me all this, aren’t you afraid that I will tell others?
After all, in Fan Yunxiao's opinion, they had only known each other for less than two days.
However, seeing Fan Yunxiao's reaction, Bai Chi didn't want to ask anymore.
The sound of night watchmen could be heard in the distance, but before I knew it, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Fan Yunxiao yawned and hugged Bai Chi into his arms.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed first. I'll take Ah Chi to the palace tomorrow, and then we'll find a chance to meet those so-called wizards."
Most importantly, he had to reply to the officials who had been waiting for his answer. Fortunately, he had only said that he would consider it first instead of directly refusing.
"good."
Bai Chi responded, and Fan Yunxiao put the notebook under the quilt at the head of the bed, extinguished the candle, and then the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
During this time, Fan Yunxiao hugged Bai Chi, and his big hands unconsciously rubbed his lower back, allowing Bai Chi to sleep more comfortably.
