After meeting Shang Xiye in Chengdu, Wang Bingyao gave her a general overview of the current situation in the capital, still harboring a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But Shang Xiye remained unmoved, saying, "Since you have decided to settle here, I will have someone arrange accommodations for you. If you and your husband still have the energy, you can help me govern the laws and regulations of Cangzhou, as I happen to be short of manpower. If you have no interest in politics, you can also buy some servants. There is plenty of uncultivated land in the mountains and forests of Cangzhou, which you can also cultivate. In short, once you come to Cangzhou, as long as you do not kill, set fires, or oppress the people, you can live however you want."
"Well..." Wang Bingyao wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but seeing the sweet and tender exchange between Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, and the joyful and carefree expressions on the faces of everyone present, he stopped talking.
To live a happy and joyful life;
Who would be willing to go through fire and water?
He himself has already escaped; why would he selfishly persuade others to go back and suffer?
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. That's all!
Ji Fengyao didn't pay attention to what Wang Bingyao and Shang Xiye were saying. After all, it was just the same people and the same things in the capital. You could guess it with your toes.
But it's that kid Wang An.
From the moment he entered the room, he was exchanging flirtatious glances and acting all lovey-dovey with Liu Yunzhao beside him.
Ji Fengyao had seen Liu Yunzhao in the palace and recognized her as the daughter of Consort Xiao.
I just don't know how she and Wang An got together, or when they fell for each other.
Wang Bingyao and Shang Xiye finished speaking.
Wang Bingyao glanced back at Liu Yunzhao and saw his son fawning over the girl like a lapdog, his brows furrowing and a clear look of displeasure rising in his eyes.
Liu Yunzhao's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it. She got up and walked to Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, where she knelt down and bowed respectfully: "This humble woman, Liu Yunzhao, greets the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess. I have important matters to report to you, and I hope to receive your protection in the future."
"I know you," Shang Xiye said only this much, and then said nothing more.
The person is already in front of me.
He did not mention again that he had sent someone to look for Liu Yunzhao after the incident involving Consort Xiao.
Liu Yunzhao looked up at Shang Xiye with surprise and worry. Seeing that there was no anger or displeasure on his face, and that Ji Fengyao was also looking at her with kindness, she felt relieved and lowered her head properly again.
“We’ve met before,” Ji Fengyao said in a light and cheerful tone, her voice crisp and pleasant to hear. “Since we all know each other well, there’s no need to hold back. If you have anything you want to tell me or the Prince, just say it. Everyone sitting here is an insider.”
Liu Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Her last shred of hesitation vanished, but she still considered it carefully:
Just now, Wang Bingyao told the Ninth Prince about the situation in the capital. The Ninth Prince also knew that the capital was in dire straits, but he did not express any opinion. Instead, he advised Wang Bingyao and his son-in-law to live a peaceful and prosperous life in Cangzhou. This shows that the Ninth Prince has really lost interest in the affairs of the court.
There's no need for her to bring up those sordid things she heard from the palace anymore; let's not let these scandals pollute everyone's ears.
Liu Yunzhao decided to suppress the fact that Empress Chen Ziyun had an affair with Di Kanlong, the ruler of Di Kingdom, and that Crown Prince Shang Dongyang was Di Kanlong's son and not of royal blood, so as not to embarrass or put the Ninth Prince in a difficult position.
