Chapter 82 Chao's orphan? Are you kidding?
Jing Ye was suddenly stunned when he saw the smile that Jiang Xue couldn't hide in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
The girl's smile is like the warm sun in winter and the wind melting snow in spring, warm and passionate.
It has been a long time since he saw this smiling face.
Jing Ye was in a daze when Jiang Xue suddenly asked, "Who said today that you won't see me again? How come the capital is so big that the prince got lost and came to my house?"
Jing Ye came back to his senses, sneered, and said, "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to watch the fun."
"What?" Jiang Xue was stunned.
"I didn't expect that while watching the fun, I thought I could do the princess a favor, so I came here."
Jiang Xue thought about it and said in surprise: "You come to peel off the roof again?!"
Jing Ye said calmly, "It's not the roof, it's on the tree. The view is better when you're up high."
He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xue, saying, "I wonder if this has disturbed the princess and her husband's good mood?"
Seeing that he was asking questions even though he already knew the answer, Jiang Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"It's messed up," Jiang Xue said, "So what kind of favor is the prince doing? Isn't it that he owes me a favor?"
"Really?" Jing Ye said sarcastically, "I don't know who it was just now. He looked so reluctant, but he was pretending to be nice and trying to get out of his arms."
Jiang Xue was choked by these words and fought back: "Your Highness is not married yet. You are not a fish, so how can you understand the pleasure of fish? Can you understand this kind of boudoir fun?"
As they were talking, they had already walked to the backyard. The yard was filled with guards from Jiang Xue's Changle Palace, and she began to speak more unscrupulously.
"No matter how much you admire Shao Ai, Your Majesty, you shouldn't have any feelings for me, a married woman. Although I am prettier, you should have some basic moral principles as a regent."
Jing Ye's face darkened after hearing this.
He said, "I like beautiful people, but I don't like poisonous snakes, especially those like Princess Xiang, who can turn around and stab her husband."
Jiang Xue knew he was poking at her sore spot, so she didn't fight back. She just asked calmly, "My Lord, let's be honest with each other. Why do you come to visit me again and again?"
"Don't say you have a nice view, and don't say you want to see some weird excitement," Jiang Xue said, "You are the regent king, and you came here in person to celebrate my father's birthday. How could you not have a purpose?"
Jing Ye just looked at her deeply and didn't say anything.
"I don't need to ask about your purpose now," Jiang Xue continued, "but you have to tell me why you are so interested in me. I don't believe you are just after your cousin Xiao Qi."
Jing Ye looked at her for a while and suddenly smiled.
He slowly said, "I want to cooperate with the princess."
"What cooperation?" Jiang Xue walked to the porch and sat down. She felt that the stone slab was too cold, so she shouted to Fu Dong Xiaochun who was following her not far away: "Go get me a cushion. I'm freezing."
Jing Ye suddenly asked, "Your Highness's way of entertaining guests is to let me sit here in the cold wind?"
"Then what do you want?" Jiang Xue's eyes widened and she asked, "We are alone, in the middle of the night. Do I have to invite you into the house and stay in the same room with you?"
"If this gets out, my father and mother will no longer be able to live as human beings." Jiang Xue muttered.
Jing Ye said coldly: "Princess, everyone in this courtyard is from the palace. Why are you afraid that the fortress you built will leak?"
Jiang Xue was surprised and asked, "How do you know everything?"
She looked at the guards standing at the foot of the courtyard wall. A cold wind blew over her. She unconsciously rubbed her arms and said reluctantly, "Let's go and ask inside Qingxuan."
The two of them walked to the main hall of Wenqingxuan together, and Fu Dong Xiaochun immediately brought the charcoal basin into the house.
Jiang Xue raised her eyes and saw Jing Ye's pale face. Although she was also cold, she felt that Jing Ye was also quite frozen.
She said to Jing Ye, "Come over and warm yourself by the fire."
Jing Ye then walked up to her side, and the two of them sat around the charcoal brazier. Fu Dong brought over a small stool, and the two of them sat around it.
Jiang Xue asked, "Your Highness knows the origins of the guards in my courtyard very well. I guess he has already investigated me thoroughly before coming to Ji."
Jing Ye had a blank expression on his face and did not comment.
"Tell me," Jiang Xue said, "What do you want me to cooperate with? Or, what does Gan Guo want me to cooperate with?"
Jing Ye looked at her and said, "I think you already know that there is something wrong with your prince consort, otherwise you wouldn't have waited until now and refused to get close to him."
Jiang Xue nodded, staring at the charcoal basin, put her hand on the basin to warm the fire, and motioned him to continue.
Jing Ye said: "Someone in your Ji Kingdom has contacts with people in Gan Kingdom."
"The civil strife has just ended, and now everything needs to be rebuilt. But there are still many old forces trying to make a comeback."
"Someone in Ji State is doing business with these people."
Jiang Xue looked up in surprise.
"Is it Gu Lintan?!"
Jing Ye suddenly laughed and said, "I never said that."
Jiang Xue stared at him sharply and asked, "What's the deal?"
"Use the border between Ji State and Bei Xi to exchange troops with Bei Xi and help those evil people in Gan State to seize the throne."
Jiang Xue suddenly laughed and said, "What good will this do for them? If the Northern Xi horses come, how can the eggs in the nest be intact? If the Ji Kingdom is in danger, what good will Gu Lintan do?"
"I didn't say it was the prince consort," Jing Ye said, "I just intercepted a few secret letters, and coincidentally, the letter mentioned the prince consort."
"The letter said that if the troops arrive, they will first help them attack Ganjing. If they take Ganjing, in exchange, the new emperor will support Gu Lintan to seize the Jiang family's throne."
Jiang Xue didn't believe it and said, "This plan is so stupid, Your Majesty also believes it?"
"Let's not talk about the distance between Beixi and Ji and Gan. If Beixi troops can move, wouldn't it be faster to march to Ji and complete this plan directly?"
"Besides, why support Gu Lintan? To be the emperor?" Jiang Xue sneered, "Gu Lintan has little power in the court. Even if he is favored by the emperor and can work in the Shangshutai, he has no military power and no power. There are many royal branches in Ji State, and several of my uncles are all here. Even if he wants to usurp the throne, it will not be Gu Lintan's turn."
"So," Jing Ye said with a smile, "Did the princess really never doubt Gu Lintan's identity?"
Jiang Xue remained silent. The investigation she had arranged recently was indeed here.
"I don't mean the letter, but what is mentioned in the letter is really incredible." Jing Ye said, "The letter said that Gu Lintan is the orphan of the Chao family."
Jiang Xue widened her eyes and looked at Jing Ye in disbelief.
Are you kidding?
Chao? !
The Chao family that was trampled by the emperor's grandfather's cavalry and all the royal family members were killed? !
Jiang Xue said: "How is it possible that the Chao family still has descendants?"
Jing Ye crossed his legs, leaned on the backrest, spread his hands, and said, "How did I know what your Jiang family did?"
Jiang Xue was stunned, still unconvinced, and said, "How could those people from your country believe such a stupid plan?"
Jing Ye smiled and said, "If two armies join forces, this plan will have a better chance of success. What can't people who are blinded by greed do?"
"But the northern border is under the control of my brother. Who has the ability to exchange the border with Beixi?"
"Then you should ask yourselves," Jing Ye said, "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch who loves to do good and serve the people. Since Beixi was almost torn apart by your grandfather, the border has been peaceful for many years. That's why your father abandoned military power and emphasized civil power. If Jiang Yu hadn't gone to the border to tidy up the situation in recent years, who knows how chaotic the border forces would be now."
"But are you sure that your brother alone can seize control of all the forces in the North in three years?"
