Chapter 1017 Who to choose
The Fu family was having a great time, and Princess Fuyun, who had just come out of the palace, also breathed a sigh of relief.
With Yuan Yi's help, she entered the palace and met the emperor.
Moreover, the emperor had no idea that she was from Zhecheng and thought she had just escaped from Dahe to Zhaoguo.
Her luck came again. Just after she met the emperor, someone came to report good news, saying that a kind of grain had been discovered that could fill the stomach and the yield looked very high. The victims should be able to try growing it, which would give them something to do and hope of filling their stomachs.
Actually, this good news was brought by Governor You from Zhecheng.
At that time, Princess Fuyun was waiting in a side hall. She had just heard the emperor's message asking her to come in. Just as she was about to step out, she saw Prefect You running excitedly towards the imperial study, so she shrank back.
The emperor was very happy when Prefect You reported such good news.
However, he still did not let Prefect You in, and asked him to speak loudly at the door of the imperial study, and Princess Fuyun heard it.
The emperor was very happy, and when he heard Prefect You say that Zhecheng's disease had been completely under control, he was even more relieved.
At that time, there was no accountability for Prefect You's treatment of Zhou Dingzhen, but there was no reward either, as it was said that his merits and demerits offset each other.
Prefect You once again acted pitifully and wanted the emperor to allocate some money. He also said that Prince Jun and the princess had received a lot of compensation, so should they also allocate some money to return to Prince Jun's mansion.
As a result, he was driven away by the emperor's orders.
Princess Fuyun was listening there and could tell that the emperor was stingy.
He was originally very happy about the good news told by Prefect You, but his tone immediately changed when he mentioned silver.
He also said that Prince Jun was also a prince of Zhao State, and it was his duty to contribute to the people of Zhao State. Princess Jun was a compassionate doctor, and it was her duty to save the dying and the wounded. How could she ask for money?
It's too vulgar to mention silver.
So, Prefect You was driven away.
The emperor summoned her again.
After Princess Fuyun entered, she cleverly linked the good news to her own coincidence.
The emperor recalled the rumors about her extraordinary good fortune and actually believed them.
Relying on her amazing good fortune, the large sum of money she brought with her, and her offer to help the emperor negotiate with the State of Min, Princess Fuyun told the emperor all the value she could, and the emperor finally agreed to let her stay in the palace.
Then write a letter to His Majesty Dahe on her behalf, using the excuse that he would let her stay in Zhao as an envoy between the two countries and pray for Zhao to buy time.
Although the emperor did not agree to protect her and keep her in Zhaoguo for a long time, Princess Fuyun was temporarily satisfied that it could be delayed for a while.
She will think of a solution during this time.
Princess Fuyun took a look at the team of royal guards following outside the carriage and felt relieved.
The emperor not only let her live in the temporary palace, but also assigned her several palace maids, two maids, and a team of royal guards to protect her safety.
She was also given a princess-style carriage for her to travel.
In this way, she would have a status in Zhao State and would be protected by someone, and she would not be alone.
If Da He's guards came, at least there would be someone to help her block them.
"Are you relieved now, Princess?" Yuan Yi had gotten into her carriage without her knowing when. Seeing that she was obviously relieved, he smiled and asked her.
"It's only temporary."
"What does the princess want to do next?" Yuan Yi asked again.
"Mr. Yuan must have done some research on Zhao State, right?" Princess Fuyun asked him back.
"What do you want to ask?"
"I asked this question before, and I wanted to ask Master Yuan to help me analyze who I should rely on in Zhao State."
Princess Fuyun now has no one to discuss with except Yuan Yi.
After spending these days with Yuan Yi, she also realized that Yuan Yi had a deep understanding of Zhaoguo, so perhaps asking him this kind of question was the most appropriate.
"Who are you looking for? Of course it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yuan Yi looked at her and smiled meaningfully, "Isn't the Princess thinking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these past two days? She even sent a golden hairpin to a maid in the palace, asking her to find out for you when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return from the Huguo Temple."
Princess Fuyun blushed.
She didn't expect that this secret thing she did would be discovered by Yuan Yi.
Wasn’t Yuan Yi also staying in the palace as an envoy?
Why can he keep an eye on everything?
"Prince Zhaoguo was quite visible in the past few years, but I don't know what happened in recent years. He went to the Huguo Temple for no reason and hasn't come back for a long time. So I am still a little hesitant." Princess Fuyun also told him the truth.
The Emperor of Zhao Kingdom has never favored the Crown Prince and has only been focused on fighting Prince Jun.
The prince's presence is made extremely low.
At the beginning, Princess Fuyun was not even sure whether Zhaoguo had appointed a crown prince.
Yuan Yi smiled, "The Crown Prince of Zhao is actually quite smart. He behaved quite well before Prince Jun came back, but after Prince Jun came back, he saw that the Emperor was nervous and regarded Prince Jun as a thorn in his side, so the Crown Prince quietly hid himself."
"You mean to say that the prince did it on purpose?"
"I heard that the emperor had intended to suppress the crown prince two years ago and even thought about deposing him because he felt as if he was about to abdicate at any time, which would be the same as being old. Emperor Zhao couldn't accept this and always felt oppressed."
Yuan Yi leaned aside, looking a little lazy as the carriage moved forward.
"So the prince has been to the Huguo Temple for the past few years, saying that he was praying for the country and tempering his character. It was originally agreed that he would only be there for half a year, but the emperor ignored him during that time and had no intention of calling him back. So, in my opinion, the prince should continue to endure."
Princess Fuyun was a little confused.
"But if he continues to endure this, it won't do him much good. As a prince, it's not a good thing to stay away from the court."
Firstly, he could not get the news in time and could not process it immediately. Secondly, it was difficult to maintain the relationship with the families that could help him, and he could not give them the determination to support him to take the position.
Thirdly, the prince did not show off in front of the emperor. Isn’t he afraid that other princes would take advantage of him?
Emperor Zhao doesn't seem to be very reliable in his handling of matters, so there's no guarantee that he won't suddenly favor another prince.
"Do you think that the prince is really idle in the Huguo Temple?"
Yuan Yi raised his eyelids and said, "I'll tell you one more thing. My father and I came to Zhaoguo. Guess why?"
"Why?" Princess Fuyun was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Is it because you have a connection with the prince?"
Yes!
If he hadn't been connected with the people of Zhao State, how could Yuan Yi know so much about these things?
If this is the case, then the prince has indeed never accepted his fate and is still secretly accumulating strength.
