Inside the Queen's bedroom, Emperor Yunlang was somewhat shocked after hearing what the Queen had said. His expression darkened slightly as he asked, "Could it be that this woman named Qiqing was sent to Che'er and Yu'er by someone with ulterior motives?"
The queen also had a look of uneasiness and doubt on her face. After thinking for a while, she said, "I'm not sure about this. The girl doesn't seem to be a deep-minded person.
On the contrary, she is very simple. If someone really wanted to drive a wedge between the two brothers, why would they choose such a woman?
The Cloud Wolf Emperor snorted coldly, his eyes gradually revealing murderous intent. He held the Queen's hand gently, "This may be a risky move, but you saw the result. It proves that the gamble was right. And it is truly frightening to be able to hide one's scheming from others."
Besides, regardless of whether this woman has someone behind the scenes, just based on the impact she has had on Che'er and Yu'er, she cannot be allowed to stay any longer!"
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot..."
The Queen disagreed, saying, "Miss Qiqing saved Che'er and Yu'er. If this isn't what we thought, how could we kill innocent people?"
Besides, if this is true, wouldn't it hurt the two princes' hearts? I have already reminded Che'er that day. Che'er is a perceptive person and I think he will understand. "
The Cloud Wolf Emperor looked at the Queen's graceful and dignified face, revealing an undisguised expression of pity. He sighed and reached out to embrace her. The Queen leaned gently against the Cloud Wolf Emperor.
Forget it, his Wan'er is still so soft-hearted.
The Emperor of Yunnan said helplessly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's not touch him for now. As for Che'er and Yu'er, don't worry.
I will send people to secretly monitor them. I won't let anything happen to them. I'll do as you say during the Flower Festival next month. "Alas, I'm ultimately sorry for you and our child. It's my incompetence. One day, I'll make those people pay the price they deserve, I will!"
The Cloud Wolf King closed his eyes, hiding the pain and bloodlust within, and felt the murderous aura and helplessness emanating from the man.
Empress Yao reached out and hugged her tightly. Her embrace was gentle, yet soothing. "You know, because of you, I've never felt wronged."
With that one word, the loneliness and murderous aura of the Cloud Wolf King vanished completely. He knew, he knew, his Wan'er had always been by his side. That was why he had come this far.
"Your Highness, according to the spy's report, King Qi has been in frequent contact with King Ruyang recently." Bai Shi said.
Bai Ziche responded and continued carving the jade. "What's Prince Ruyang's attitude?"
Bai Shi frowned slightly and said, "Although he didn't take the initiative, he didn't directly refuse either, which is quite ambiguous. Your Highness, could it be that Prince Ruyang, seeing that Your Majesty has been increasingly fond of Prince Qi in the past two years, wants to switch his support to Prince Qi?"
Bai Ziche asked, "Why?"
"Why?" Bai Shi was stunned, then he understood that His Highness was asking him why Prince Ruyang switched from supporting His Highness to supporting the Chess King.
He said, "The King of Qi must have promised him some benefits. Besides, the King of Chess has no strong backing. Once the King of Chess takes the throne, he will be able to hold all the power."
To put it bluntly, His Royal Highness the Chess King is easy to control. He wouldn't take it seriously, and would he give up half of the Cloud Wolf Army's power and his ambitions for the sake of Princess Ruyang?
Bai Ziche chuckled, "You see things clearly. Half of Yunlang's hundreds of thousands of troops are in the hands of Prince Ruyang. If he had handed over his military power, he wouldn't have stayed in Yunjing City all these years."
Since ancient times, it has never been possible for a prince to stay in Yunjing without returning to his fiefdom for years. You and I both know the ambitions of the Prince of Ruyang.
As luck would have it, Prince Ruyang had been staying in the palace for the past few years, claiming to be recuperating from illness. But precisely because of this, my father, without any reason, reclaimed his military power.
But there was nothing wrong with my father's attitude, so for now, everything was peaceful.
On the surface, the Chess King wants to win over Prince Ruyang, but in reality, Prince Ruyang has reached the point where he can no longer bear to disrupt this peace and is looking for an opportunity."
Bai Shi said, "He must think that His Highness is difficult to control."
Bai Ziche blew away the jade dust on the jade stone and said slowly, "He never wanted to control it from behind the scenes."
Bai Shi was stunned: "Your Highness means that Prince Ruyang wants to ascend the throne... and become emperor?
This... this is too bold, this is treason!" Bai Shi said anxiously, "Then should we inform His Majesty? Okay, let His Majesty take precautions early."
The ignorant little deer in the palm of my hand has already taken shape. When I touch the warm jade in my hand, I feel a trace of warmth flowing from the palm to every part of my limbs.
Bai Ziche said, "No need. The time is not right, and he can't accomplish anything. Besides, my father must have understood it long ago. He hasn't acted yet because he's not completely sure.
Even if they risked everything to get rid of the internal trouble of Prince Ruyang, they would no longer have the strength to resist the external threat.
If not, why would Father have waited all these years to take action? Just keep watching."
"Yes," Bai Shi said. He looked at the warm jade in Bai Ziche's hand, which was no longer the same as before. He had always been following His Highness closely. Naturally, he knew that this was the warm jade that his master had always carried with him since childhood.
Different from the jade pendant that His Highness wears around his waist as a symbol of status, this piece of jade is more valuable and has the function of calming the mind and protecting the body.
Over the years, except for bathing, he has never seen his master leave his side. And now...how did he turn into a fawn?
The master's identity doesn't seem to match this cute little deer. Could it be... "Master! Who are you giving this to?" Bai Shi couldn't help but ask.
Bai Ziche flipped the jade in his hand back and forth. He seemed very satisfied, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Is Qiqing not back yet?"
"Well, no, the Fourth Prince said he would take her to eat all the delicious food in Yunjing City." Bai Shi was still wondering who the little deer was for. Suddenly, he heard Bai Ziche's question and answered without hesitation.
Coming back to my senses, I understood, oh... it's for Miss Qiqing.
Bai Shi continued, "Your Highness, I feel that Miss Qiqing must have had a very hard time these past few years, often going hungry."
That's why she can eat so much now. This is true, especially after arriving in Yunjing, he felt that this girl Qiqing spent most of her time eating, and she liked to eat everything.
Thinking of Qiqing's satisfied look while eating, Bai Ziche's expression warmed up a little.
"Qiqing, eat slowly, there's more." Bai Ziyu held Qiqing in one hand and carried several kinds of food in the other, strolling along the street.
Even those little things and vulgar snacks that he had never noticed became much more cute.
These days, he had already introduced all the signature dishes of the restaurants to Qiqing, and was just worrying about what to take Qiqing to eat.
Fortunately, Murong Yu mentioned it, and this girl seemed to be interested in even those ordinary little things. After eating too many delicacies, even simple food would be good. Watching the increasingly clear and bright radiance in those purple eyes, and their increasingly obvious spirit, Bai Ziche felt his heart fill up.
