Chapter 198 Support each other?
Xie Rongying's gaze followed Luo Jin out of the room and moved to Qin Junyi.
It took all these days to find out the real identity of Concubine Chen from the Crown Prince. It seems that Qin Junyi has become cautious. However, since he was able to fool Emperor Ren De, Qin Junyi is not as cowardly as he seems.
"Rongying, why didn't you tell me earlier?" When Qin Junyi learned from the prince that Concubine Chen was Shangguan Yan's cousin, a sense of backstabbing and exploitation spread throughout his body. He almost turned against his mother for Shangguan Yao.
He even gave up his parents and siblings for Shangguan Yao, and just wanted to live a peaceful life with Shangguan Yao.
He didn't even look at Xie Rongying, the girl arranged by his mother.
I just want to be with Shangguan Yao for the rest of my life.
Even if he knew that once the Shangguan family's affairs were exposed, it would be harmful to him in every way.
He was also willing.
But how could he have imagined that after he gave his whole heart to Shangguan Yao, Shangguan Yao stayed in Bian Jing not because of him.
Not really thinking about him.
What? The title of Marquis Yongyi should have belonged to Qin Junyi.
There is no reason for something that should belong to him, Qin Junyi, to be given to others.
But they are all just chess pieces in Shangguan Yan's plan.
"Did I tell you earlier?" Xie Rongying sat down on the couch as if she had heard something funny. "How could I tell you? Even if I told you, would you believe it?"
Qin Junyi thought that ever since Xie Rongying married into the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, he had developed a grudge against her, even to the point of disgust.
His expression changed slightly, and he forced a faint smile: "Now you and I are the ones who support each other, I must believe in you."
"Really?" Xie Rongying sneered.
Qin Junyi lowered his eyes and straightened his robe, saying calmly, "Although we didn't get along well before, we've been through a lot over such a long time. Now that we're husband and wife, we should tolerate each other, understand each other, and be humble to each other."
"I apologize to you for what happened before." Qin Junyi looked up at Xie Rongying while speaking: "I hope you can forgive me, Rongying."
Xie Rongying listened to these sincere words, and the sneer on the corner of her mouth did not fade away. At this moment, she did not doubt how much truth and falsehood Qin Junyi was saying.
She knew that the man was bowing his head at this moment simply because he wanted to move forward and needed the Xie family to pave the way.
After all, when the Xie and Qin families got married, they did so out of mutual interest.
Now Qin Junyi just wants to return things to their original state.
He wanted to get benefits from the Xie family.
"Young Marquis." Xie Rongying glanced at Qin Junyi and said, "You are right. Husband and wife are one. Now everyone in the Marquis' Mansion has their own thoughts. Only you and I are of one mind."
Seeing this, Qin Junyi's eyes, which had been somewhat cold, suddenly became a little cheerful: "I knew you were a sensible and virtuous woman who would not bear grudge against my previous mistakes."
Xie Rongying smiled, her red lips curled up. "I thought the young marquis had found out about the affairs of Concubine Chen and the Shangguan family from the Crown Prince on the day he returned to Bianjing."
"No." Qin Junyi smiled bitterly. "After returning from the border, I was thinking about how to do things for the Crown Prince. I didn't dare to ask about this matter rashly. It just happened that today, the Crown Prince ran into the Second Prince. Plus, the Second Prince's husband is Second Aunt's brother, so I asked about it."
"I didn't expect that the prince didn't hide it." Qin Junyi also knew what the prince was thinking.
The Yongyi Marquis' Mansion was taken over by the emperor, and everything the emperor did in secret in the past involved the involvement of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.
Qin Junyi cleverly asked the Second Prince and Concubine Chen in front of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince told Qin Junyi about the matter.
"What does the young marquis plan to do next?" Xie Rongying asked.
Qin Junyi pondered for a moment and said, "The Crown Prince has never given up on rescuing Shangguan Jing from the King of Wei, and this matter has been kept secret from the Emperor."
"Why do you want to hide it from the government?"
Qin Junyi whispered, "The Crown Prince doesn't want the Crown Prince to get close to the Shangguan family, or even have any dealings with them. But the Crown Prince has always believed that the Shangguan family is his most useful pawn, so he has always wanted to rescue Shangguan Jing and make Shangguan Yan even more devoted to him."
Xie Rongying raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking of how Shangguan Yan dared to take the charge of treason and collusion with the enemy for the sake of Emperor Ren De.
The prince must trust Shangguan Yan very much.
It’s just that people change over time. Just because Shangguan Yan was focused on the Lord at that time doesn’t mean that Shangguan Yan is still focused on the Lord now.
What's more, there is a character like Concubine Chen in the palace.
I'm afraid only Shangguan Yan himself knows what kind of chess he is playing.
"So the young marquis now wants to gain the trust of the prince and rescue Shangguan Jing from the hands of King Wei?" Xie Rongying asked tentatively.
Qin Junyi smiled faintly: "It has already begun to take action."
Xie Rongying raised an eyebrow: "Start the action?"
"Although the Prince of Wei's mansion is heavily guarded, there are still opportunities to sneak in. This is why the Crown Prince laid an ambush for a long time before discovering it. Now he has figured out where Shangguan Jing is being held in the Prince of Wei's mansion."
When Qin Junyi talked about these things, there was a smile on his face, as if to prove that he was not useless.
"You said last time that the emperor's biggest headaches now are the Shangguan family and the King of Wei." Qin Junyi thought about what Emperor Ren De had instructed him to do when he went to Longxi. Although he fooled Emperor Ren De, he also remembered Xie Rongying's words and tried to test the things that Emperor Ren De wanted to settle but couldn't.
Perhaps Qin Junyi was a little more cautious when Emperor Ren De asked Shangguan Yan what his attitude was after seeing the secret letter.
Qin Junyi deliberately said that Shangguan Yan did not have any attitude and did not ask him to say anything important.
At that time, Qin Junyi saw a hint of anger on Emperor Ren De's face.
For so many years, Shangguan Yan had to live in the dark because of Emperor Ren De. Anyone with emotions would have complaints and even hatred.
Emperor Rende said at the time: "It seems that General Shangguan is not going to help me solve my problems this time."
After saying this, there was a hint of murderous intent in Emperor Ren De's eyes.
Qin Junyi also understood what Emperor Ren De meant by "resolving worries and difficulties".
Apart from the Shangguan family, there is the King of Wei.
These are the two things that the government is worried about now.
As long as Qin Junyi can help Emperor Ren De solve a problem, gain his appreciation, and assist the crown prince well, he will be able to shoulder the responsibility of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion in the future just like his father did.
Qin Junyi understood even more clearly that the only family that could help Emperor Ren De out of his difficulties at the moment was the Shangguan family.
He knew very well that although the King of Wei lived in seclusion and behaved gently, he understood that the King of Wei was definitely a man of great talent.
"So you're planning to start planning?" Xie Rongying looked at Qin Junyi with a more serious look in her eyes. "You rescue Shangguan Jing from the King of Wei, and then use Shangguan Jing as bait to lure Shangguan Yan out of Longxi?"
Qin Junyi saw a serious expression on Xie Rongying's face. "Do you think Shangguan Jing can't lure Shangguan Yan?"
