Chapter 1085 Exchange (4)
No one understood Ye Mei's inherent calculation and selfishness better than Shen Miao. How could someone who could easily abandon even her own brother make a deal that would put her at a disadvantage? Ye Mei wanted something from the Ye family that would compensate her. Gold, silver, and jewelry were far from enough; she desired eternal power.
Ye Maocai had spent so many years in Daliang, and besides the Ye family's reputation and wealth, the most important thing to him was the dirty secrets of the Daliang court. Perhaps they belonged to the royal family, or perhaps to the court officials. Where there are secrets, there are weaknesses. These secrets were probably leverage Ye Maocai used to control other ministers, or perhaps they were evidence he had carefully collected. But one thing was certain: these secrets were of great importance to the Daliang court. To put it bluntly, they could even bring about the downfall of an entire dynasty.
And this is exactly what Ye Mei needs.
Ye Mei could use this as a stepping stone to gain access to high-ranking officials and nobles in Ming Qi, but Shen Miao designed something more luxurious for her, a stepping stone to gain access to the royal family.
If Fu Xiuyi got these, he would definitely be very happy, and a beautiful woman like Ye Mei would definitely seize this opportunity and erode Fu Xiuyi's heart step by step as in her previous life.
But...what if these things are all fake?
Military defense maps, secrets among court officials, discord within the royal family, and exploitable weaknesses—all of these things seemed to be the key to Ming Qi's victory over Daliang. But what if all of these things were fake?
Ming Qi would make wrong judgments, deploy troops in the wrong places, and make wrong use of alienation and alliance. In the end, success or failure would be achieved, and the great cause would be ruined.
This is the reason why a thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole.
Of course, Ye Mei didn't know that she was taking the wrong thing.
Of course, Fu Xiuyi could also doubt the authenticity of what Ye Mei took out.
But it doesn’t matter. Shen Miao has great faith in Madam Mei’s abilities. She is a very powerful woman, so in the end, Fu Xiuyi will definitely believe what Ye Mei says.
So in the end, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, it is destined.
It wasn't that Shen Miao didn't want to kill Ye Mei, nor was it that she intentionally wanted to let Ye Mei go.
But what she wanted to see more was that the woman Fu Xiuyi loved most in his previous life would walk towards him step by step in this life, throw herself into his arms, and finally personally give him a big gift, sending Fu Xiuyi to his death.
I feel more relieved.
Most importantly, this matter was beneficial to Xie Jingxing and not harmful. The world was also undergoing earth-shaking changes because of this small move.
It’s really good.
…
That night, just as Cong Yang had imagined, there was a violent storm in the second half of the night. It was not until the next morning that Cong Yang and the other two returned, all soaked to the skin. Ye Mei and Jin Xingming had already boarded the ship bound for Daliang. Just as Shen Miao had guessed, Ye Mei had a silver box, hidden so tightly that even Jin Xingming didn't know about it, but she herself hadn't opened it yet.
The Mo Yu army replaced the contents of the box with the contents of Shen Miao's envelope. Tie Yi pulled a stack of items from his sleeve and handed them to Shen Miao. Shen Miao flipped through them and, as she had suspected, found them to be the evidence Ye Maocai had gathered over the years to threaten and control other court officials. There were even some secrets of the imperial family. She thought for a moment and decided to let Xie Jingxing handle these things after he returned.
The Mo Yu Army had already followed Ye Mei to Daliang and was keeping a close eye on Ye Mei's movements, but for now, there was nothing to worry about.
