Chapter 283: Two-handed preparation
After the carriage left, a cold wind blew, and Daya realized that she had sweated through her heavy clothes without knowing when.
The prince really——
You can kill him, don't let him live.
But let alone her, no one else can shake the prince's position in the emperor's heart.
If it were any other emperor, even if it was his own son, as long as he wanted to usurp the throne, the emperor would never show mercy.
It’s a pity that the late queen died too early, leaving behind only the prince.
Almost everyone understands the emperor's preference for the prince, except perhaps the prince himself, who feels proud but also has doubts.
——What he did was totally unnecessary.
After Daya returned, she told Xiao Yan about this matter without any hesitation.
Xiao Yan was furious.
"Before the Lantern Festival incident, I had no idea the Crown Prince was such a person! The Emperor was determined to pass the throne to him, and treated him with all his care and love, but in the end, he killed the emperor and his father? And the Emperor was willing to suppress it!"
The emperor can be described as a tyrant in his treatment of the prince.
When she refused the emperor's suggestion to marry Daya to the prince, she found a decent way out and did not break up with him. However, she still held a grudge against him because of this.
If such a petty-minded and two-faced person becomes the emperor, it will be a disaster for the country and the people of the world.
"Dad, we are powerless and can't change anything." Daya said.
When she faced the prince just now, she was actually just a coward.
Not to mention Jiang Xuan and Xiao Yan, even the Prince of Yan had to behave himself in front of the Crown Prince.
Even though his mother was murdered and he himself was imprisoned in the cold palace for many years, Prince Yan never thought of disrespecting the emperor.
The word "rebellion" is so heavy that no one can bear it.
People are also blind in the face of family affection.
Even before, wasn't Xiao Yan also very passionate about his family?
There's no way around it, people just fall in love too easily without realizing it.
The emperor probably won't change his mind.
None of his other sons caught his eye.
"Now that I think about it, Uncle Hu saved the emperor and extended his life. He saved not only the emperor, but also the people of the world. His merits are immeasurable."
"We can't just let him go on like this," Xiao Yan said. "Now that things have come to this, even if he struggles to the death, we can't let him succeed."
"Dad, don't think like that." Daya said, "We still have to find a way to turn things around, at least to maintain our reputation."
Everyone has a temper, and everyone can vent it.
But what happens after you lose your temper?
The problem still needs to be solved.
"Dad, let's prepare for both situations." Daya said, "On the one hand, we should show our goodwill to the prince in other ways. Whether he appreciates it or not, we should do what we should do."
A madman is particularly concerned about other people's attitude towards him.
"Father, please go and bow your head to the prince." Daya said, "Just tell me that you wanted me to follow the prince, but I was stubborn and refused to agree."
"Zhao Zhao!"
"Dad, you bowed your head for the sake of our entire family's survival, including me." Daya said, "Dad, my mother always said, if you can beat them, then fight, if you can't, then kneel. We risked the lives of our entire family, and in the end, what did we gain? A sigh from the emperor, and then he would continue to indulge the prince, that's all."
"On the other hand, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If, if the King of Yan really has that idea, then you can take sides."
I’m afraid that King Yan has no idea at all.
At least that's what it seems like for now.
If possible, Daya felt that King Yan should be stimulated appropriately to make him more motivated.
In this world, we can live without anyone, so there is no need to take yourself too seriously and think that you can cause rivers of blood to flow and turn the world upside down in a fit of rage.
In most cases, people are just angry for a moment, that's all.
But ordinary people also have temper and blood in their bones.
So from this perspective, there is no need for any impulse. The most important thing is long-term planning to ensure that the family can live in peace.
"In the worst case scenario," Daya said, "Dad, let's leave Middle-earth."
Their family has no ties with their surviving biological parents and family members, and they are the ones who cannot be separated from each other the most.
As long as they are together as a family, they can survive wherever they go.
"Then Jiang Xuan——"
"I'm worried about getting Jiang Xuan into trouble. Dad, when Jiang Xuan gets better, I'll explain to him the Crown Prince's desire for me. Jiang Xuan has parents, brothers, and a large family. I think we should just forget it."
Don't put Jiang Xuan in a dilemma.
"I'll bring it up," Daya said. "If I were to put myself in your shoes, and if marrying Jiang Xuan were to cause you any trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to cancel the engagement."
Therefore, if anyone is to blame for this matter, it is only the prince.
She and Jiang Xuan are doing well, so she should keep the good memories and not make things worse and regret it in the end.
Let this relationship come to an abrupt end at the most beautiful moment, and continue to move on to the next journey with each other's memories and blessings.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry for what I've done to you." Xiao Yan looked at the fifteen-year-old girl in front of him with pity.
"Dad, not getting married isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. Getting married has never been what I wanted."
"Erya wants to become a wealthy tycoon, but I just want to run a small school to teach girls to read and understand. Perhaps they will still be unable to change their fate of staying in the backyard, taking care of their husbands and children, but I hope that I can help them live a more sober life."
If I cancel the engagement, the prince will probably think that I am showing weakness, and his obsession will probably ease a little.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yan still couldn't bear to do it.
"We'll see about canceling the engagement later," he said. "The Emperor suppressed this matter to protect the Crown Prince, but we can do something to expose the Crown Prince's crimes to the world."
Their family's opposition is indeed insignificant.
But the emperor always talks about ruling the world with filial piety. If the prince's behavior becomes known to the world, how can he stop the gossip?
"Dad?" Daya looked at Xiao Yan in shock.
"Don't worry," Xiao Yan said. "Zhao Zhao, I know what I'm doing. I won't fight with a thorn in my side. I will go to the Crown Prince and submit to him, and do as you say. But I'll also do something else. Even if I can't hurt the Crown Prince, I'll at least make him sad."
If you have too much free time, you will only think about dirty things.
And King Yan, isn’t he foolishly filial?
Your brother wants to kill your father now, what will you do?
Filial or unfilial?
If your brother thinks you did everything, will you admit it or not?
Daya thought very carefully, but she still lacked a bit of ruthlessness in her bones.
It doesn’t matter, he will complete it.
"But Dad, if the news gets out of here, as long as the Jinyiwei wants to investigate, they will definitely find us."
"It's okay, I have a solution." Xiao Yan said, "Let's suppress this matter for a while. In a few days, more people will want to know why the Lantern Festival incident was left unresolved. Then, we can light another fire."
He also needs some time to prepare what he needs.
