Ying Xixi didn't say anything more and went straight to the point.
Ying Linlang nodded, "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
"Third brother, do you know who killed Concubine Shu? Do you hate Concubine Gui? Do you want revenge?"
Hatred instantly rose in Ying Linlang's eyes, "Of course."
"Third brother, do you know how my mother died?"
"Didn't they say he died of illness? Could there be another hidden story?"
Ying Linlang vaguely realized something.
“Yes, my mother’s death was actually caused by chronic poisoning, not any disease.
As for who poisoned him, I'm sure Third Brother has guessed it.
So our enemy is the same. I want revenge, and so does Third Brother."
Ying Xixi said slowly.
Ying Linlang tapped the table with his fingertips and suppressed his emotions.
"Our enemy is indeed the same, but if I want revenge, I can do it myself without cooperating with you, Third Sister.
Similarly, since you live in the palace, you will have other ways to seek revenge, and you don’t need to cooperate with your third brother.
So the cooperation you mentioned, Third Sister, should be another kind of cooperation."
Ying Xixi gave Ying Linlang an appreciative look.
“Third brother is really smart, indeed, the cooperation I mentioned is another matter.
Third brother, it must be unpleasant to fight for power with four other brothers, right?
Especially now that the Emperor has not yet revealed which of you will inherit the throne."
Ying Linlang's pupils moved slightly, "Third sister, it seems that you have someone investigate us, so your purpose, could it be that you want to support Third Brother to get that position?
What are the conditions? What do you want Third Brother to do for you? "
Ying Xixi was very satisfied. Talking to smart people was easy and she didn't have to waste any words.
"Third brother is smart. I will help you take that position. After that, you can help my maternal family redress their wrongs and not interfere with my marriage. How do you do that?"
Ying Linlang was a little confused when he heard this.
"Help Master Zhao's family redress their wrongdoings? Third sister, do you mean... is there something else going on?"
"Yes, there is another hidden story. Anyway, this is what happened. What do you think, Third Brother?"
Ying Xixi didn't go into details for the time being. She still needed to continue collecting evidence about her grandparents' affairs, and it wouldn't be of much use to tell Ying Linlang now.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Ying Linlang picked up his teacup and gently clinked it against Ying Xixi's.
"Third brother, it's a pleasure to work with you. Now, tell me about your plan."
"good."
Ying Linlang was puzzled at first. How could his always innocent and lively third sister suddenly become a different person? She would ask people to investigate things and even talk about cooperation with him.
After listening to what Ying Xixi said, he finally understood.
Even if Ying Xixi didn't explain it too clearly, he could more or less guess that the death of the Queen and Taifu Zhao's family was probably related to his hypocritical father, the Emperor.
Otherwise, why would the third sister, who had been favored by her father since childhood, suddenly want to support him to ascend to the throne?
The two of them discussed the cooperation and left separately.
After Ying Xixi left the teahouse with the palace maid, they strolled on the street.
I finally get to leave the palace and breathe some free air, so of course I want to spend more time outside.
Ying Xixi was shopping along the way. When she passed by a pastry shop, she saw a familiar figure.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Gu Xuanyun.
There was a slightly plump woman standing next to him, and it was unknown who she was.
Ying Xixi hesitated whether to go up and say hello to him.
The male protagonist in this dimension, Gu Xuanyun, gave her a different feeling from the male protagonists in other dimensions.
The other male protagonists seemed to like her easily and were very proactive towards her.
But Gu Xuanyun, she didn't know whether it was because of the lack of contact or because of their different identities, but she couldn't tell whether Gu Xuanyun had any feelings for her.
Gu Xuanyun didn't say or do anything to her.
Or.....the male protagonist Gu Xuanyun needs her to actively pursue him?
While Ying Xixi was thinking about it, Gu Xuanyun and the woman had already turned around and walked out of the pastry shop with their servants. They happened to be walking towards her and naturally saw it all.
"Your Highness!"
The woman next to Gu Xuanyun walked over with a smile and called Ying Xixi, but did not greet her.
It's not convenient to salute in public.
Ying Xixi smiled, "I wonder who the madam is?"
Madam Gu quickly introduced, "Your Highness, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am the wife of Prime Minister Gu, and this is my eldest son, Xuan Yun."
Gu Xuanyun came over and bowed to Ying Xixi, "Your Highness, long time no see."
"Not long. It turns out this is Mr. Gu's mother. This is the first time we meet."
Ying Xixi smiled.
Madam Gu smiled so hard that her face disappeared. "Your Highness, do you have anything else to do later? Why don't we find a teahouse and sit down and chat?"
Ying Xixi could feel that Mrs. Gu was very warm to her. She had originally wanted to get in touch with the male protagonist Gu Xuanyun again, so she agreed.
So the three of them went to the teahouse's private room and sat down.
Mrs. Gu was very warm and kept talking. Her words made Ying Xixi feel that she wanted to match her with Gu Xuanyun.
That's just perfect.
She got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Gu, the last time we met, I asked you if you were married, and you said no.
Now some time has passed, are you married now?"
Gu Xuanyun's smile was a little shy, "Your Highness, I am still unmarried."
"What a coincidence! I'm also unmarried. What do you think of me, Master Gu?"
Ying Xixi looked at Gu Xuanyun's shy smile and felt a little irritated for some reason.
