Chapter 435 She is not a fool
Bei Jingyu found time to comfort her: "A few months ago, I was scolded by Aye Xun and I was very sad."
"My eldest sister must be feeling even sadder now."
As he spoke, Bei Jingyu looked at Bei Jingchu with eyes full of worry, as if she was suffering in the eighteenth level of hell.
Bei Jingchu: “…”
Thank you very much.
Of course she was sad when the emperor's attitude changed drastically when he woke up.
Now people are already numb, and all that is left is annoyance.
The emperor made it clear that she was not allowed to interfere too much in state affairs and could only do her duties as the crown prince.
But the regent is a reserve king, whose job is to gain experience and assist the emperor in handling state affairs.
The emperor didn't allow her to interfere, and was clearly trying to undermine her power step by step.
Recently, another imperial decree was issued to grant marriage, bypassing the eldest daughter who was not yet engaged, and granting the daughter of Chang to be the Princess of Qin.
Upon receiving the news of the arranged marriage, Concubine De was ecstatic. If nothing else, Chang would definitely do her utmost to help her Yu'er ascend to the throne so that their daughter could sit on the position of empress.
She immediately ordered some good wine and food to celebrate, as if she saw the Queen Mother's throne waving to her.
Besides Concubine De, another person in the palace who was happy to see Prince Qin ascend to the throne was Yang Cainu.
The Yang family was wiped out because they poisoned Bei Jingchu more than ten years ago, and she herself survived thanks to Bei Yanyu and the prince who died young.
Watching the enemy grow stronger and stronger, one can only endure.
After enduring for more than ten years, you can either let it go, or keep it suppressed deep in your heart and explode in one day.
Unfortunately, Yang Cainu is neither of them. Her only support is Bei Yanyu's mother. All she can do is chirp crickets in Bei Yanyu's ears like she did back then.
When she was little, Bei Yanyu was a child who believed everything she heard. When instigated by others, she would go to her elder sister and the emperor to make trouble, and then get beaten.
Bei Yanyu has grown up now, but Yang Cainu still tells her the "truth" of that year just like she did more than ten years ago.
"Yanyu, do you know that your eldest sister is the enemy who killed your grandparents' family?"
"Your maternal grandparents are all watching you from heaven. Since Bei Jingchu is no longer the prince your father wants, you should not get too close to her."
"If necessary, I will go with the flow and help your grandparents and your mother to avenge their crimes."
Bei Yanyu stared at her with her big eyes, feeling completely bewildered.
She didn't understand where her mother was so resentful and she suddenly started talking about these things recently.
To her, she had never even met her grandparents.
Although she didn't know what the truth was, she had no feelings for her maternal grandparents.
Bei Jingchu is her elder sister who has been playing with her since childhood.
She just felt that her mother had gone insane, and asked, "Mom, are you possessed by evil spirits?"
"I'll go find a master to exorcise the evil spirit for you."
Yang Cainu: ...
She suppressed her anger and explained, "In the past, the prince was very powerful, and your father focused on training her, so there was no room for others to stand out."
"Mother was afraid that you would offend her. She didn't want you to bear the grudges of the previous generation. She wanted you to grow up happily, so she didn't tell you that you were carrying a blood feud all by yourself."
Although Bei Yanyu is not smart, she has been brainwashed by her elder sister since she was a child and is determined to become her elder sister's little toy.
Become immune to other people's not-so-clever brainwashing and automatically develop anti-guilt education skills.
She rubbed her hands and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't my mother continue to let me grow up happily?"
"You have been carrying a blood feud for more than ten years. Why don't you continue to bear it? Are you unhappy to see me so happy?"
Yang Cainu: “…”
She still didn't give up and tried to persuade her: "There was no chance of revenge before, and mother could only hide it from you."
"Now your father is more interested in the King of Qin. If Bei Jingchu becomes the deposed crown prince, we will have a chance to take revenge."
"Yanyu, your mother and your great-grandmother attacked Bei Jingchu in order to pave the way for you. You can't be so conscienceless!"
She spoke harshly, trying to wake her daughter up.
But Bei Yanyu caught the point: "So the grandparents' family was destroyed because they attacked my eldest sister?"
Yang Cainu: Are you focusing on the wrong thing?
Bei Yanyu was very angry, "So, my grandparents are not innocent at all. Who can attack the princess and still live well?"
"If the Defei family or something like that were to attack me, would mother be willing to watch them continue to enjoy prosperity and wealth?"
Yang Cainü's mouth was dry from talking, but her cousin's train of thought just didn't match hers.
She was furious: "How could I have given birth to such a heartless thing like you! You can't even tell the difference between relatives and strangers!"
Bei Yanyu said confidently: "In terms of closeness, sisters are closer!"
She felt that her mother was the unreasonable one. Why should she treat her own sister badly for a group of strangers she had never met before?
She is not a fool.
