Chapter 1561: Sister, could you please be more merciful and not pull it too clean?
Tang Bao spoke in a calm tone about the resettlement of most of the privately owned property of the upper class in Xi Qin.
Because these will soon belong to her!
Princess Mingli rubbed her chest.
All these properties belong to Xi Qin...
Well, soon it won’t belong.
Princess Mingli rubbed her chest again.
My heart started to ache.
Could it be that after she ascended the throne as the empress, she would not only face the disarray of the Western Qin government, but also a Western Qin that was plundered and impoverished?
Princess Mingli: “…”
Opened his mouth.
I really want to say, sister, can you please show some mercy?
A group of aunts and grandmas looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the future was dark.
My family has accumulated wealth for generations, but I wonder how much of it I can keep?
Xia Siya looked at Tang Bao with admiration.
Sister Fuya is so awesome!
Princess Linghua also had a stomach full of lemonade.
Or...she should also study medicine?
I wonder if Su Tang will teach me...
Princess Linghua thought about her empty purse and felt it necessary to ask Tangbao.
Da Pan and Er Pan were naturally accustomed to their aunt's abilities.
They knew that there was no danger at all when they went out with their aunt to do things.
Anyone who creates danger for my aunt is asking for death!
On the contrary, Xuanyuan Jin said thoughtfully: "Her Majesty the Queen of Western Qin... was very wise. She was still planning for Western Qin before her death."
After listening to Xuanyuan Jin's words, Yu Zhilan thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "You mean... it seems that she is being controlled by Mu Lin, but in fact she is using Mu Lin?"
Xuanyuan Jin nodded and said, "Because of Mu Lin, the border between Western Qin and Northern Qi has been peaceful in recent years, and the two sides have been able to trade with each other. For Western Qin, this is definitely a good thing with more benefits than disadvantages."
Yu Zhilan suddenly understood.
Then, a skeptical expression appeared.
"Could it be that... Her Majesty the Queen has already known Mu Lin's true identity?"
The more Yu Zhilan spoke, the more frightened she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this must be the truth.
She is worthy of being the queen of a country!
Yu Zhilan sighed inwardly.
Even when controlled by the love poison, he can still maintain a smart mind and seek the greatest benefits for Xi Qin!
Yu Zhilan's heart was filled with admiration for Her Majesty the Queen.
Xuanyuan Jin expressed his confirmation of Yu Zhilan's guess with his eyes.
"Not only that, before she died, she adopted Tang Bao as her adopted daughter under the pretext of repaying her kindness. She had good intentions!"
Now even a fool can see how important Tang Bao is to Xi Qin.
Tang Bao is kind-hearted and loyal.
Her Majesty the Queen has adopted such a goddaughter, which is equivalent to an extra layer of protection and commitment for Xi Qin!
Xuanyuan Jin believed that whether Her Majesty the Queen learned it from Princess Mingli or through Xi Qin's intelligence channels, she must have a certain understanding and judgment of Tang Bao's character and personality.
Otherwise, he would never easily adopt a foreign girl as his adopted daughter!
At this time, Yu Zhilan already understood what Xuanyuan Jin meant without Xuanyuan Jin making it clear.
"In that case, the Queen's behavior clearly shows that she is taking advantage of the situation." Yu Zhilan sighed.
After saying that, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xuanyuan Jin changed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed extremely smart and insightful.
only--
Am I too dull?
It took a teenager to remind people of such a thing!
Am I still qualified to be the prince's tutor?
Could it be that I have been away from the court for too long, and my life has been too comfortable, so I have lost my sense of crisis?
At this moment, Yu Zhilan, who was once called Uncle Fox by Tang Bao, began to have deep self-doubt!
**
The passing of Her Majesty the Queen is naturally a matter of great grief for the entire nation.
White banners were quickly hung in the palace and a mourning hall was set up.
As the adopted daughter of Her Majesty the Queen, Tang Bao naturally had to keep vigil for Her Majesty the Queen.
With a "pop", the white candle exploded into a firework.
Princess Mingli, dressed in plain white mourning clothes, gazed at the intricately carved black coffin and said in a light voice, "I once secretly hated her and resented her, but when I saw her spitting blood and dying, I realized that what I wanted more was to be forever in her arms, just like an ordinary mother and daughter..."
Tang Bao held Princess Mingli's hand as if to comfort her.
"Before my mission to Western Qin, I collected a lot of information about it and read a lot of historical books about it."
When Tang Bao said this, she also looked at the coffin of Her Majesty the Queen.
Then, he continued, "Your stepmother's cold attitude towards you is a test for you. Several famous empresses in the history of Western Qin were tempered in adversity..."
"I know. I had the same suspicion back then." Princess Mingli lowered her eyelids, a hint of self-mockery appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"However, when she insisted on appointing Mingxuan as the crown prince despite the opposition of all the ministers, this idea was shattered in my heart..."
Princess Mingli's voice drifted like a misty wind under the flickering candlelight.
"Later, this idea came back to life, right?" Tang Bao said in an affirmative tone.
Princess Mingli looked at Tang Bao, tears glistening in her eyes, but her face was a little excited.
"Yes! After I came back from Dayan and saw the Queen Mother, this thought came back to life."
Princess Mingli said this and lowered her head towards Tangbao, letting Tangbao look at the top of her head.
"What did you see?" asked Princess Mingli.
Tang Bao: "...a red hair."
"Yes, a red hair." Princess Mingli raised her head and said, "The day I returned, I deliberately revealed this hair, and the Queen Mother... saw it."
There was a hint of understanding in Tang Bao's eyes.
"So, even though stepmother was controlled by the love poison, in her heart, she still loves you, her daughter!" Tang Bao said affirmatively: "When she found out that you were pretending to be Prince Mingxuan, not only did she not expose you, she also helped cover for you in front of Mu Lin!"
Princess Mingli nodded heavily.
"Yeah, she really loves me as her daughter, right?"
There was burning anticipation in Princess Mingli's eyes.
"That's right! As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object! Stepmother just has too high expectations of you, so she has to suppress her love for you." Tang Bao said: "Stepmother ignores you, isn't it also a kind of protection for you? You should also understand the truth that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
Princess Mingli's tears instantly flowed down and she burst into tears.
He cried at the top of his lungs, like a child who had finally gained recognition from his parents.
I cried out all the grievances I had suffered over the years.
Tang Bao let Princess Mingli cry without trying to comfort her.
She naturally knew that along with her tears flowed the thorns that had been stuck in her heart for many years, and only by crying could she feel completely relieved.
