Wujing couldn't stand it anymore and scolded them.
Ren Yaoqi only heard Ren Yaohua's cold voice echoing in the yard: "I will give you an explanation!"
Li You, who was originally watching the fun from the side, rolled his eyes and walked into the house with Xia Sheng with his hands behind his back.
Ren Yaoqi's calm voice echoed through the room, word by word: "There is a way, but you need to take risks. Perhaps everyone has to take risks. Are you willing to do it?"
Dongsheng was stunned. He asked hesitantly, "Who do you mean by 'everyone'? Do the masters have to take risks too?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at Dongsheng calmly and said, "Do you think your uncle is not implicated now? Instead of waiting for disaster to come, why not strike back?"
The situation of King Xian Li Gan and his family in Yanbei was already very embarrassing.
Li Gan's mother, Concubine Wan, was the late emperor's favorite concubine. She was a commoner daughter brought back from outside the palace in her early years. She gave birth to Li Gan only six months after entering the palace.
So although the late emperor acknowledged Li Gan's identity as a prince, after the late emperor's death, Li Gan's birth became a stain on him.
Rumors circulated in the capital that Concubine Wan was a singing girl who had secretly become pregnant before entering the palace. Although she later gained the late emperor's favor, the child she carried was not his. Concubine Wan's clever tactics persuaded the late emperor to accept this adopted son and crown him Prince Xian.
The rumor that the previous emperor was dead could not be verified, but when the new emperor was being chosen, most of the court officials chose to support Concubine Yan's son, who was still an infant at the time.
In desperation, Concubine Wan took the initiative. She produced the late emperor's will and first demoted her own son, Prince Xian, to a commoner and exiled him to Yanbei, where the Yan clan could not interfere, forbidding his descendants from entering the capital forever.
On the day Prince Xian and his family arrived in Yanbei, Concubine Wan committed suicide by drinking poison.
In fact, Prince Xian's family had been sheltered in the Yanbei Palace for all these years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived to this day. Although he was a coward, he was still alive.
When Mr. Pei talked about this palace secret with Ren Yaoqi, he sighed that Concubine Wan was indeed a character.
Not only is she stunningly beautiful and multi-talented, she is also adaptable, decisive and ruthless, and can afford to lose.
Unfortunately, she was beautiful but had a tragic life.
Ren Yaoqi had never met her great-grandmother, but when she was in the capital, she had seen some portraits of Concubine Wan and poems written for her by the previous king that were secretly circulated among the talented scholars.
Mr. Pei once smiled and said that the reason he asked Lu Dexin for her was because when he saw her for the first time, he thought she looked like the woman in a painting in his collection.
She originally thought he was laughing, but after seeing the painting, she realized that Mr. Pei was her great-grandmother, Concubine Wan.
It was then that she understood why Mr. Pei had only spoken a few words to Lu Dexin, and Lu Dexin had sent her away.
Lu Dexin was a military supervisor sent by the imperial court to Ningxia. The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty always liked to use close attendants as military supervisors. Lu Dexin was actually a eunuch, and all his honors and favors came from his master.
His master, Empress Dowager Yan, was a sworn enemy of Concubine Wan. Ren Yaoqi's similar appearance to Concubine Wan would cause him trouble.
At that time, she was actually very grateful for her face.
