Xin'er was also thinking about this question, and she already had the answer.
“Grandmother, in my position, even if I said I didn’t want anything and just wanted to be an ordinary grandmother and granddaughter like yesterday, do you think anyone else would believe me?”
Sometimes it's not that she doesn't want to be innocent; she also wants to be seen as an innocent and kind girl by others, but reality doesn't allow it.
If she had remained innocent and harmless during those two years at the manor, she would have died countless times by now.
Even her grandmother was tricked into a daze, so how could the person behind it let her go?
"I'm so happy that you think this way, Xin'er. Let's see what those evil spirits are up to this year."
Your mother is truly naive; you should look after her more in the future.
Honestly, if Gao Yue weren't so easygoing, she probably would have gotten so angry that she started arguing with Han Wen long ago.
Only someone as stupid as Han Wen would allow the original owner to be controlled and poisoned without her knowledge.
"Grandmother, please don't say that, it scares me."
Xin'er felt as if her grandmother was giving her last instructions, and this realization terrified her. She couldn't let anything happen to her grandmother.
"Xin'er, what do you think about Grandmother's poisoning?"
That Aunt Xue claims she's the Emperor's woman, what do you think?
Mo Yan didn't have time to let Xin'er grow up slowly; she could only make her grow up quickly.
Growth comes at a price, but only by growing can we live well.
Xin'er understood that her grandmother wanted her to analyze the situation herself and express her own opinions.
She started thinking about it seriously.
"My granddaughter thinks that the Emperor wouldn't be so direct or do something so obvious."
If he really wanted to harm you, he could have easily executed you, or used an even more discreet method.
There's no need for a method that's truly easy to find.
Surely he didn't do it on purpose so you would find out?
However, there is also the possibility that the emperor felt he was the emperor and did not need to explain himself. If his grandmother guessed it, she should obediently be ordered to commit suicide by him. If that were the case, it would be rather disgusting.
"That's a very good analysis. So what do you think about Aunt Xue? Did she deliberately expose herself, or is she actually one of the Emperor's people?"
Mo Yan realized that the little girl was quite clever; it was quite impressive that she had thought of this.
She is very meticulous even when looking at accounts; Xin'er is a good girl.
"My granddaughter thinks she did it on purpose. All these years she has been a mistress outside the home. She seems sensible, but in reality, she has made it known to everyone. Who doesn't know that my father has a gentle mistress and a lively and intelligent daughter?"
If no one spreads the word, how will people outside find out?
Furthermore, she told you that she was the Emperor's confidante, hoping you would stop investigating and that you would give up.
Similarly, if there are other people behind her, you cannot pursue the matter because of the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Xin'er's eyes widened, and she looked at her grandmother in surprise. "Grandmother, why do I feel that this possibility is more likely?"
She has always been very high-profile, making her father a constant topic of conversation.
So that amidst all the ups and downs, everyone knew he had a mistress he doted on.
Being too high-profile as a crown prince is not a good thing.
Not to mention his later grand wedding with eight bearers, he didn't even respect his grandmother and maternal grandfather, and his favoritism towards his concubine over his wife showed a complete disregard for propriety and law.
To put it bluntly, they want Korean to be dealt with.
"That's right, that's what she thinks, and it's also because the Emperor is pushing things along behind the scenes."
Xin'er has no direct blood relation to the royal family. Everyone says that the emperor dotes on me, the eldest princess.
They cherish their younger sister and bestow upon her the highest honor.
But isn't Xin'er making everyone's eyes fixed on me?
My marriage to your grandfather was a power struggle between the emperor and the military. He was afraid that I would get along well with your grandfather, but he was also afraid that we would separate.
"If we separate, your grandfather won't be able to take back his military power. For the same reason, if we don't separate, he fears I'll join forces with your grandfather and jeopardize his throne."
Xin'er's eyes widened, feeling that all of this was both absurd and yet perfectly reasonable.
"Your father's stupidity stemmed from his indulgence and my indulgence. After all, only a brainless prince can live a long life. But I never expected that he was not only brainless, but also heartless and had a screw loose!"
Xin'er: "..."
"What an ingrate, what a useless piece of trash."
Xin'er: "..." This is a bit difficult to respond to.
After all, she could only curse in her heart, couldn't she?
"Grandmother, what should we do now? Would it be inappropriate to send them directly to the authorities? Would it make the Emperor think you've gone too far?"
Everyone says that princesses are noble, but Xin'er knows that in the face of imperial power, everything is fragile.
"No, the Emperor knows that Grandmother's days are numbered, and she confided in him before that her only wish was for you to be safe, so that I could die in peace."
He couldn't help but be moved when he heard that.
Xin'er, in this world, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself.
The road ahead may be difficult, but Grandma hopes you can persevere.
"Xin'er, you have a lot to learn this year: martial arts, medicine, and the use of poison. Grandma will take you to learn soon. Do you think you can persevere?"
Xin'er: "!!!!"
"None of Xin'er's guards and secret agents possess the same level of skill as you."
