Yu Jin looked distant and cold, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Asi was really patient. Such a big thing didn't even get mentioned to him on the way north!
The more I think about it, the more upset I get. I don't feel like wasting time with a few idiots anymore.
Yu Jin stared at King Qi with a bad look, which made King Qi sweat.
He was the most popular candidate for the throne, and it would be too embarrassing if he was beaten by Old Seven. He couldn't even imagine the consequences. But Old Seven was a reckless person, and if he really wanted to beat someone, he would probably think of a reason before beating him...
The King of Qi explained: "At that time, my mother was ill, and the two of them went to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and pray for her."
Yu Jin's expression turned even lighter: "Uh, so it's for Concubine Xian."
When burning incense, one encounters a startled horse. No one would believe it if it was an accident. It must have been Princess Qi who did it with bad intentions. Unexpectedly, Princess Xian was also involved.
Yu Jin did not feel the slightest admiration for Concubine Xian, and only felt indifference when he thought of her.
She gives birth to children but does not raise them, and even only hates and exploits them. Is such a person worthy of being called a "mother"?
"So is Concubine Xian feeling better now?"
The prince of Qi did not expect Yu Jin to be so calm, and then he thought that he was guilty. The seventh prince was not aware of Li's attempt to assassinate the princess of Yan during the incense burning ceremony, so he could not be crazy.
Thinking of this, the King of Qi felt much more relieved and asked with a smile: "Seventh brother, have you visited mother since you came back?"
Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, ignored the Prince of Qi's nonsense, and asked again: "Is Concubine Xian okay now?"
The King of Qi put on a worried look: "It's not very smooth. It looks fine at ordinary times, but sometimes I suddenly get a headache."
"Is that so? Then I will go back to the palace to visit the Concubine Xian."
The Prince of Qi took advantage of the presence of several princes to find fault with Yu Jin: "Seventh brother, you are too distant when you call mother 'Niangniang'."
Yu Jin sneered: "Fourth brother, don't be too nosy."
Doesn't it hurt to have such an ugly face and act like a brother?
Prince Wan of Qi had never expected Yu Jin to say such a thing in public. His face turned pale and blue, and he was quite embarrassed.
Seeing this, the King of Xiang chimed in: "Seventh Brother, Fourth Brother is our elder brother after all—"
Yu Jin glanced at the King of Xiang with a cold smile on his face, "What? Is the elder brother like a father? I didn't see any of you mourning when the deposed crown prince died."
Several people's expressions suddenly changed.
The King of Shu coughed and said, "Seventh brother, it's getting late. I will go back home."
The Seventh Brothers are very careless with their words, and they will say anything that should not be mentioned. If the talk about the deposed prince gets to the ears of the emperor, what good will they suffer?
What's more, if we say a few more words, I guess a fight will start again.
After careful consideration, the King of Shu decided to flee.
As soon as the King of Shu stood up, the King of Qi could not wait to stand up as well, forcing a smile and saying, "I am back too. Think carefully about what I just said, Seventh Brother. You are a father now, and you should know the hardship of a woman carrying a baby for ten months."
Yu Jin raised his eyelids.
What the hell.
I really feel sorry for a woman who has been pregnant for ten months. Just now, the fifth child insulted the Princess of Qi, but the King of Qi didn't react at all? How could he be so angry that he didn't care about the mother of his own child?
If you really talk about others being hypocritical, it will be your own turn to be morally corrupt.
Seeing the three kings of Qi leave, King Lu had no choice but to stand up reluctantly: "Seventh brother, I'm leaving too. Let's get together again when we have time."
A good fight was ruined. It turns out that those who coveted that position are all cowards.
Yu Jin saw them off and immediately headed for Yuhe Garden.
After Jiang Si came back, he changed into casual clothes, coaxed Ah Huan, and was resting against the screen beside the bed when he heard hurried footsteps coming.
She knew who it was when she heard the familiar footsteps, and she opened her eyes with a slight smile on her face.
Yu Jin strode over, kicked away a small stool in the middle, and sat down beside the bed.
Jiang Si raised his eyebrows: "Did they have a fight?"
That shouldn't be the case. There was no sign of it when the hall left. But if we want to fight, it's just a matter of breaking a teacup. If we really want to fight, we can do it quickly.
"There was no fight, so it's not necessary." Yu Jin looked at Jiang Si steadily and stroked her hair. "Princess Qi asked you to go burn incense not long ago?"
Jiang Si was slightly startled, then quickly smiled: "I thought no one mentioned this."
"Tell me about it in detail."
"There's nothing much to say. Princess Qi wanted to make me fall off a cliff, but I dodged it and she had to suffer the consequences. I thought this vicious person would be smashed to pieces, but I didn't expect her to save my life."
"She was frightened?"
Jiang Si smiled coldly: "How could she be scared silly? It's just that some people need Princess Qi to be 'scared silly'. It's good this way, let Princess Qi be awake and alive, and see what kind of face the person she worked so hard for is, it's much more painful than death."
Death is only a moment of pain, living is a long-lasting torture.
Yu Jin agreed with Jiang Si's words: "It seems that we should secretly send someone to protect Princess Qi. We can't let her die easily."
A princess who has declared to the outside world that she has lost her mind, who is unable to manage the palace affairs and deal with social interactions, yet has to occupy the position of princess all the time. Just thinking about it is enough to make Prince Qi suffer.
"What about Concubine Xian? Did she also mix it in?" When mentioning Concubine Xian, Yu Jin's tone became even colder.
The Princess of Qi was a complete stranger to him, so he was not surprised by her behavior. However, he was related to Concubine Xian by blood after all, and her unquestionable attack on Jiang Si made him even more chilled.
"If Concubine Xian hadn't claimed to be ill, there would have been no trip to Baiyun Temple." Jiang Si said calmly.
Yu Jin punched the bedpost.
The whole bed shook.
Jiang Si glanced at him and said, "Why are you taking out your anger on the bed for no reason? Are you not going to sleep tonight?"
Yu Jian thought about it and realized that it was true. He smiled apologetically and silently kicked the stool a little further away.
Except for the sound of the small stool falling to the ground and rolling, the room fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Yu Jin said, "Asi, I changed my mind."
Seeing that he was serious, Jiang Si couldn't help but sit up straight: "What's the change of mind?"
I don't know where A-Jian came from, and what her original idea was.
Yu Jin clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, with a cold sneer on his lips: "The fourth brother's dream is to take that position, and Concubine Xian also hopes that the fourth brother will take that position. I originally just wanted to hold the fourth brother back and prevent him from being proud, but now I realize how ridiculous this idea is. If we kill the fourth brother and replace him with the sixth brother, who can guarantee that he won't go crazy and cause trouble for us?"
Jiang Si vaguely guessed what Yu Jin meant and murmured, "Ajin, do you want to--"
Yu Jin chuckled: "If I sit in that seat, we won't have to worry about anyone causing trouble for us again."
And this is the most powerful support he gives to Asi.
