Chapter 179 How could the prince like you?
Ye Xiaoman: “…”
Jiaying's tone became increasingly sharp. "You change your mind so quickly."
Ye Xiaoman asked back: "Jiaying, if I choose you today, will you be with me? I mean give up everything and take me away?"
Jiaying was speechless.
Ye Xiaoman lowered her hands dejectedly. "Look, after all this time, your problem remains the same. You can't make me a promise, but you always want to criticize my choices."
"Yes, I'm not a romantic, I'm just an ordinary person who is contradictory and pathetic."
She pretended to give up on herself: "Yes, I chose Ji Weiming, you can go."
Ye Xiaoman lowered her head and looked at the tip of Jiaying's snow-white shoes, but she didn't see what expression Jiaying had on his face.
She only saw the hem of his snow-white clothes swaying in the wind, as if trembling slightly.
After a while, she heard Jiaying's hollow voice above her head: "You don't want me anymore."
Then he walked away.
Left.
Ye Xiaoman watched him leave without stopping.
She pondered his elusive figure, thinking that the message it conveyed must be very complex, but too complex for her to read.
Well, still as easy to bully as ever.
Ye Xiaoman didn't have time to continue thinking about Jiaying. Compared to her lower body, her life was more important for the time being.
I'll coax him again tonight when I have time.
She had just escaped from Ji Weiming and Jiaying and immediately went to find Shufei.
In order to trick Ji Wenyi, the help of Concubine Shu's forces is indispensable.
This time when Ye Xiaoman was talking with Concubine Shu, she was holding the weight, so her posture was more relaxed and free than before.
Before, she was a person of lower status and had to rely on Concubine Shu for protection and was controlled by Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu did not need her consent and used the fact that she had an affair with Ji Weiming to sacrifice her life in exchange for a bright future for Prince Teng.
She doesn't care about the slightest betrayal by her allies. The strong never complain about the environment and only use all the power they can.
Ye Xiaoman walked into Concubine Shu's palace arrogantly, without any greeting, sat on Concubine Shu's special chair, and ate Concubine Shu's favorite dessert.
Before Concubine Shu was about to explode in anger, Ye Xiaoman slowly spoke, "I have a plan to overthrow the Crown Prince. Call the King's uncle and Prince Teng."
The three villains, Concubine Shu, the King's Uncle and Prince Teng, sat in a row in front of Ye Xiaoman and listened to her briefly talk about her beauty plan.
“Hahahahahaha——”
The villains laughed their heads off.
"Gong Zhaoyi, did you get your head stuck in the door?"
"A honey trap? Don't you know the prince isn't interested in women?"
"Go and ask around. Has any of the female assassins who entered the Prince's Mansion ever walked out alive?"
Prince Teng was laughing so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. He held his stomach which hurt from laughing and couldn't stand up straight. He slammed the table and pointed at Ye Xiaoman:
"Mother, Uncle, you are not allowed to call me stupid from now on. There is someone even more stupid here!"
The powder on Concubine Shu's face was wiped off with laughter. She slapped away Ye Xiaoman's hand that was trying to take her pastry, picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry, took a bite, and burst out laughing again.
"Will the prince be interested in you? Hahaha——"
Ye Xiaoman blew the pastry powder off her fingers, took out her jade slip, and played the clip she had secretly recorded.
"Please watch the VCR."
Ji Wenyi's face appeared clearly on the big screen.
——"Can't you see, I like you."
——"Even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, my love will never fade."
The cake in Concubine Shu's hand fell, the prince-in-law choked on the tea and almost died on the spot, and Prince Teng was so shocked that he lost his balance on the stool and fell to the ground.
Before, they all thought that Ye Xiaoman had finally gotten to know Ji Weiming and would definitely cherish him, but they didn't know that she had someone else outside.
Ye Xiaoman glanced at everyone indifferently: "Now tell me whether I have the ability or not?"
The situation has taken a dramatic turn.
The scene became that Concubine Shu was massaging Ye Xiaoman's shoulders, Prince Teng was squatting on the ground massaging Ye Xiaoman's feet, and the King's uncle was standing by with tea in his hands.
"Master."
"A strange woman."
"A role model for our generation."
Concubine Shu respectfully asked, "What are your plans for the next step?"
Prince Teng was itching to get Ye Xiaoman's jade slip, but Ye Xiaoman slapped his fat hand away.
In front of all the greedy eyes, she put the jade slip back into her arms.
"You should expand your perspective a little. Ji Wenyi's intelligence level is so low, and his position in the court is so high. This little evidence of him seducing his stepmother is not enough to bring him down."
"At most, he will be considered morally deficient and lose his position as a priest."
"If you strike a snake at its weakest point, you must kill it with one strike. If you're not sure, and leave the enemy with the ability to counterattack, then we'll be the ones to die."
Ye Xiaoman looked around at everyone and said, "What I want is for Ji Wenyi to lose his position as crown prince."
The villains nodded repeatedly.
Concubine Shu was amazed. Ye Xiaoman looked so honest, but her methods were even more cruel than hers.
You can’t measure the depth of the ocean, and you can’t judge a person by his appearance!
The uncle nodded and said, "We will do whatever you want us to do."
Ye Xiaoman said, "I'll do the main work of tripping Ji Wenyi. You just need to assist from the side."
"From now on, you will all target Ji Wenyi with all your might, causing him endless trouble and using all your tricks on him."
"Don't you guys assassinate him often? Keep sending assassins to him more frequently."
Concubine Shu was puzzled: "When the Crown Prince was in trouble, you stood up and took the blame. Did you do that to win his favor?"
As the temporary champion of the palace fight, she did not agree with it.
"Isn't this trick a bit outdated? Let me be honest with you. All the concubines in the harem, including me, have sent people to assassinate the emperor. Each of them has saved the emperor two or three times, but the emperor has never shown much gratitude."
"Of course I know," Ye Xiaoman said confidently, "This old-fashioned trick is fine for dealing with simple-minded demons, but it won't work at all against Ji Wenyi."
Concubine Shu: "Have you also deceived the demons?"
"Don't worry about those little details," Ye Xiaoman waved her hand seriously. "I asked you to target Ji Wenyi just to make him run around in circles."
Ye Xiaoman's eyes were more shrewd than the uncle's. "The worse his life is, the more gentle and considerate I am to him, and the faster he will fall into my gentle embrace."
The uncle stroked his beard and asked, "And then?"
Ye Xiaoman smiled, "Then I will make him do something stupid."
That’s right, Ji Wenyi’s affair with his stepmother is not enough to make him lose his position as crown prince. In the eyes of interest groups, the heir’s lust is just a moral flaw and can be tolerated.
His means and abilities are the foundation of a king and the basis for his subjects' support.
What if Ji Wenyi keeps doing stupid things that are against human nature for her, his stepmother?
The emperor who has been evaluating Ji Wenyi and the ministers who follow Ji Wenyi will begin to feel disappointed, and even start to reflect on whether it is necessary to continue supporting a fool who can't walk when he sees beauty.
This principle can be understood without explanation by political masters like Concubine Shu and the King's uncle.
Prince Teng was confused by what he heard, and his uncle and concubine looked at each other and smiled.
They held Ye Xiaoman in their arms: "You can fly, we will always be with you."
