"Of course I have to tell you. I thought I'd tell you properly after this is over." Shen Heng sat down.
"Master Xie has risen from a commoner to a position second only to the emperor, and even the position of Prime Minister, which he refused so easily. I admire him." Liu Xinyue admired this. "With such a charisma, it's no wonder he can become Prime Minister."
"He is not a person who is greedy for power." What Xie Jian cares about most is family affection, which is also what Chen Heng likes most.
"I came here today on behalf of the Queen. I have something to ask of you," said Liu Xinyue.
"What's up?"
"This should be a great thing for you. I just found out that Chen Yuan, who was previously favored by the emperor, is actually your younger brother." Liu Xinyue was quite surprised when she heard what the queen said.
Chen Yuan? Suddenly, Chen Yuan was mentioned. Chen Heng was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face. "Not many people know about this. It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose. No one asked, so I didn't tell them. Is the matter entrusted by the Queen related to my brother?"
"Since Prime Minister Xie has resigned, the Empress has her eyes on Chen Yuan as the next Prime Minister. If Prime Minister Xie brings up the matter, His Majesty will certainly consider it carefully." Liu Xinyue felt that Ah Heng would definitely agree to such a thing, as he was her own brother.
Let Chen Yuan be the prime minister? Chen Heng thought of Xie Jian's words that Chen Yuan had made great efforts to help Liu Zhiyue gain a foothold in the Si family. If Chen Yuan could become the prime minister, it would naturally be extremely beneficial to her.
"The emperor is from Yuezhou, and he will definitely employ people from Yuezhou in the future." She and Xie Jian had never discussed this matter, but Chen Heng knew it would be so without even having to think about it: "Although it is still the Great Cong Dynasty, one day the emperor will definitely start a new country name." Even the matter of abdicating the throne was changed to another version.
Liu Xinyue nodded, her expression filled with sadness. As a descendant of the Da Cong family, a member of the royal family, she really didn't want to see a change of dynasty, but what else could she do given the situation? Ming saw that Si Qi didn't make things difficult for the Liu family. In fact, the Liu family had always been treated coldly.
There are many things that outsiders don’t know, so how could she not know?
My father had told the Liu family that if they gave up their wealth and became commoners, they might be able to save their lives, but no one was willing to do so. They all thought of Zhiyue as the queen. Perhaps Si Qi would not be so cruel for the sake of the queen and the two princes.
"Xie Jian has served three dynasties. Although the new emperor seems to value him, who knows what he really thinks?" Chen Heng took Liu Xinyue's hand and said gently, "If he recommends Chen Yuan, it will be disadvantageous to him."
Liu Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "You're right. When I enter the harem, I'll tell the Empress what you said."
Chen Heng nodded. Although she said these words out of fear of getting involved in gossip, they were also the truth.
Xie Jian had a mutually beneficial relationship with Si Qi from the very beginning, and he helped Liu Gang do so many things. Even a fool like Liu Tang did not betray him. How could someone like Si Qi truly trust Xie Jian?
When Xie Jian came back in the evening, Shen Heng told him what Liu Xinyue had said today.
"Liu Zhiyue's calculations are quite clear." Xie Jian sneered. He had disliked this woman from the very beginning. Even though she showed goodwill towards Ah Heng and even tried to show her kindness to him, he still disliked her: "Don't be too clever."
"In her position, if she doesn't plan for herself, who else can she plan for?" Shen Heng sorted out the account book. Today she accounted for all the money she had earned over the years.
Two years ago, she asked her sister-in-law to buy a lot of shops in Yuezhou. After several calculations, she found that they could still live a very good life.
"You are always so tolerant to her." Xie Jian felt that Ah Heng was nice to everyone, but was especially different to Liu Zhiyue, and it had always been like this.
"I just think there's nothing wrong with her doing this. Don't people have to think about themselves?" Chen Heng continued to sort out the account books.
"Let's leave in three days."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. She had already made preparations, but when she really had to leave, she suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
