Chapter 422: Can Protect Those Whom We Want to Protect
"She is from the Xiyan royal family."
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhan was shocked, with some disbelief in her eyes.
Zhan Yi heard this the moment he entered the room and was very confused: "Who is the Xiyan royal family?"
Madam Zhan came back to her senses, hurriedly stood up and walked to the door, looked around, and raised her hand to close the door.
"Ah? That's the Xiyan royal family?" Zhan Yi asked again.
"Stop making noise." Madam Zhan turned around and scolded.
Zhan Yi was scolded again, scratching his head in confusion: "What's going on?"
"The emperor is not looking for a thief, he is looking for a woman, and a member of the royal family of Xiyan." Madam Zhan closed the door and walked over and said solemnly.
"No matter who he is looking for or which country's royal family it is, it has nothing to do with us." Zhan Yi didn't care. It was no secret that the emperor liked beautiful women when he was young.
Madam Zhan angrily raised her hand and dropped him.
"Ouch." Zhan Yi hugged his shoulders and said aggrievedly, "Madam, why did you hit me?"
"You are old and confused. The person the emperor is looking for is among the concubines."
"Wha...what?" Zhan Yi shuddered. "Seriously?"
Madam Zhan nodded.
"It's over, it's over. It will be terrible if the emperor finds out. Let's go, let's not let anyone escape." Zhan Yi began to panic.
"Grandpa, grandma, don't worry." Ye Qianning was helpless.
"How can I not be anxious?" Zhan Yi knew the emperor's temper very well.
"Fatty, tell us the whole story so we can come up with a solution." Madam Zhan's face was dark and anxious.
"There's no need to take any countermeasures, and you don't need to worry. I know what's going on."
"Girl, this is not a small matter. If it is exposed, it will be a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of all nine generations of your clan." Zhan Yi was impatient. Secretly keeping the emperor's woman was a serious crime, not to mention that this woman was a member of the royal family.
If not handled properly, there is a high possibility of being charged with treason and betrayal.
"I know, but I have my own ideas. As for the royal family, I don't trust them." Ye Qianning said frankly.
Zhan Yi was stunned, and his eyes became deep as he looked at Ye Qianning: "Girl...what do you mean by distrust..."
Madam Zhan held the handkerchief tightly.
"It's just what grandpa has in mind. I just hope that when that day comes, I can protect the people I want to protect." Ye Qianning said calmly.
Zhan Yi's heart trembled, and he couldn't get over this sentence for a long time.
No matter how great one's achievements are, they are of little use in front of the imperial power. If one is happy, his military achievements will be praised; if he is unhappy, they are worthless.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger, life and death can be decided in a moment.
It is not easy to preserve the imperial power.
Madam Zhan was very smart and would understand that Marquis Xiang Ming was not a person who would accept things passively, nor was he a person who would kneel down and flatter. There would inevitably be such a day in the court in the future.
only……
"Child, you are still young. Even if such a day really comes in the future, our three families will not stand idly by." She is only six years old and does not need to bear any of this.
"If that day comes, I will protect you with everything I have, kid, you don't have to carry it all on your own. You have a long way to go, and grandpa doesn't want you to get involved in the affairs of the two countries." What Zhan Yi feared most was that the General's Mansion would become like the Qian family back then.
Qian Fu was forced to become a monk, and the charge of collaborating with the enemy has not yet been completely cleared. The older generation is still secretly stabbing the Qian family in the back and cursing them.
Ye Qianning understood what they meant. She didn't want to see that happen at all. She knew that if that day came, they would be like the old man at the party.
They knelt in a group, indifferent to life and death, but such death could not win the emperor's slightest mercy.
