Also, if you try to sow discord between us and the King, we won’t believe you.”
Simin also echoed:
"We did some things to make money, but we never did anything like being a private soldier."
Song Yaoyao raised her eyebrows:
"Prince Xiao, your two children trust you very much!
It’s a pity that they trusted the wrong person.
King Xiao, you didn't tell anyone about the private soldiers' affair except a few of your trusted aides, am I right?
Don't rush to deny it. Since I dare to say this, I must have evidence."
Jamel Xiao just stared at Song Yaoyao and the others.
After hearing this, Sifan and Simin turned to look at Jamel Xiao. The other party said that there was evidence, so they wanted to see what their king would say.
Sifan: "My Lord, is this true?"
Simin: "Yes, Prince, is this true?"
Xiao Jingche heard the questions from his two children, and then he spoke quietly:
“Back then, my best brother, Nian Cenyi, was promoted to that position. It was fine at first, but once he was firmly on the throne, he turned his back on us and prepared to attack our Xiao Palace.
This king received the news in advance, and in order to survive, he took the initiative to accept the military command.
Even so, Nian Cenyi has no intention of letting us go. Every few days, I will be assassinated.
I am lucky and I have managed to dodge it every time.
This angered Nian Cenyi even more, and he prepared to have someone fabricate evidence of treason against the king.
After I learned about this, I immediately went to the palace to have a talk with him. In order to allay his concerns, I took the initiative to propose moving to a farm outside the city.
Nian Cenyi agreed.
This prince knows that he will not touch this prince just for a short period of time.
As the saying goes: How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
Nian Cenyi will not let me go, and he will attack me and Prince Xiao’s Mansion in the future.
For the sake of the lives of several thousand people in our Xiao Palace, this prince wants to make money desperately. With the money, I can recruit soldiers and horses. When Nian Cenyi attacks me, I will have a little power to protect myself.
What's wrong with me doing this?
Over the years, I have encountered countless assassination attempts, and each one was more brutal than the last. I have escaped death every time. Does anyone know how I have survived all these years?
The reason why I didn't tell the children was that they were too young at that time. Children are not careful with their mouths and are prone to let things slip, so I chose not to tell them.
This is also for the safety of our entire Xiao Palace.
I think they will understand!"
Seeing that Simin and Sifan's expressions had relaxed, Song Yaoyao immediately said:
“When they were little, you were afraid they would say something wrong, so you didn’t dare to tell them, which is understandable.
But, now that they are all grown up, why don’t you tell them?
You keep saying that they are your favorite children, but is it true?
You hid such a big love from them!
What do you take them for?
Your confidants all know all this.
In your heart, they are not as reliable as your confidants, right?
To put it bluntly, you just don’t believe them!”
After hearing this, Simin and Sifan's faces changed, and they both looked at their king.
Xiao Jingche's face was so dark that it seemed as if ink could drip out. He knew that the other party was just trying to sow discord, but he had no way to defend himself because he did not tell his family about the private soldiers.
Not only the children didn't know, but his princess and concubines didn't know either.
Xiao Jingche looked at Song Yaoyao dangerously and said:
"What a clever and eloquent mouth you have. Are you trying to sow discord?"
