Chapter 305: Troubled Soldiers (2)
Princess Liuzhu's eyes were swaying in tears. She suddenly didn't react when she heard this. She asked in confusion: "Xia Qingluo, what did you do when you see her?"
"She is Mrs. Rong Fan!" Ye Kui held his forehead and said, "Not only that, she is also the sister of the fifth prince's concubine."
Princess Liu Zhu was stunned, and after a while, hesitated, "What do you mean is that Xia Qingluo may have news that you and I don't know?" After asking, she suddenly started to talk to herself again, "You are right, not at all. Rong Fan went to Cangcheng and killed Chen Liu. All of this was done by him. Xia Qingluo is his wife, so she really might know something!"
Ye Kui nodded, and then said, "Besides, there are some things she must know from the fifth prince's concubine."
The one next to her knew that the fifth prince's concubine had a good relationship with her sister. After Rong Fan received the imperial edict and went to Cangcheng instead of the fifth prince, Xia Qingluo and the fifth prince's concubine also moved more and more frequently.
This was nothing at all, at most it was just a good relationship between them and their sisters.
But in this troublesome situation, even if it seems ordinary, there may be a secret behind it that others have not expected.
That's why she suddenly proposed to let Princess Liu Zhu meet this Mrs. Rong. The daughter of the Xia family must be towards the fifth prince's concubine. If the fifth prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the fifth prince's concubine will naturally rise with the flow and become a mother in the world. At that time, the Xia family will become the first family in Fengcheng. They will no longer have to live under the Ye family, Pei family, and Wen family.
Speaking of the Wen family, Ye Kui couldn't help but think of the eldest son of the Wen family.
Wen Xiang was not born well, but his son was born very well. Among the five young men in Fengcheng, Ye Kui had never seen him, only such a person was left.
Like the Pei family, Wen Xiang is neutral on the surface. No one is biased in helping, and no one follows everyone. In his words, he is on the side of the emperor. As a subject for the rest of his life, the person he is loyal to is the emperor, so he will only stand on the side of the emperor.
This sounds like a loyal minister said.
But as long as you think a few more times, it is not difficult to find the loophole in Wen Xiang's words. His loyal target is the emperor, but he did not say which emperor it was. So now the person sitting on the dragon throne is Emperor Chengzhen, so of course his loyal person is Emperor Chengzhen. But one day, that person is no longer Emperor Chengzhen, then the person he loyal is naturally a different person. After all, the person he loyal is not the emperor, and the person he loyal is just the person wearing a dragon robe on the dragon throne.
And who that person is doesn't matter at all.
Wen Xiang can be considered to have done this to the fullest.
Ye Kui thought, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
She suddenly realized that people like Wen Xiang were the best partners. Fence-bearing plants are the best, and they also grow the most solid. Because the environment it survives is actually much worse than the other plants, it can only double the strength to make itself grow firmly.
However, it is the easiest to shake and change.
If one day she really reaches an agreement with Concubine Pei, then Wen Xiang will definitely be an excellent partner.
Such a person seems unreliable, but sometimes he is unexpectedly reliable. As long as he grasps a weakness, he will definitely be able to successfully take him down. Ye Kui gradually gained a little more confidence in his heart.
As long as you hold on, everything will have a chance to change.
Who is the world? Who will win this game? It is too early to make a conclusion now.
"Akui, do you think the fifth brother is..." Princess Liu Zhu asked slowly, touching her swollen eyes.
Ye Kui did not hesitate and answered bluntly: "If the fifth prince doesn't have that meaning, it would be sad."
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. Doesn’t he have a good prince who doesn’t want to be an emperor? He should do whatever he wants to be an emperor in the same position. As a prince and grows in the royal family, he certainly should have the idea of becoming an emperor. They are all the emperor’s sons. Why can anyone inherit this great country and become the 95th Lord, but some people can only watch silently?
It is indeed not strange if someone really does not have ambitions here.
But in the same way, what can a person who doesn’t even have such ambition even if he really sits in that position?
If you don’t have the confidence and responsibility to do well, you will not even have ambitions.
So Ye Kui never thought that the fifth prince was wrong. Even if he framed the prince, it can only be said that the prince is not suitable for sitting on the throne.
One general's success has tidied up all his bones. What is laid under the tall dragon chaise on the Golden Palace? They are corpses after corpses! They condense layers of blood! Without a ruthless heart, there is no way to sit in that seat with peace of mind.
Even if the weak and incompetent people go up, they will only be afraid every day, fearing that they will become one of the bones below. And those who are enough to take on this position will only want those who become stepping stones below.
This is the difference.
Living is such a difficult thing.
Ye Kui bit her lip and said to Princess Zhu: "Aunt San, don't think about anything now. Go and think of a way to meet Xia Qingluo."
Princess Liu Zhu gradually recovered and frowned, "When I see Xia Qingluo, I'm afraid I might as well go directly to see the fifth prince's sister-in-law."
"No." Ye Kui denied her words and said lightly, "Rong Fan is not here, and it should be easier to get the news we want from Xia Qingluo's mouth. Otherwise, why can the fifth imperial concubine become the fifth imperial concubine, but Xia Qingluo can only marry Rong Fan, a concubine's son. No matter how powerful he is, if he wants to be a member of Xia Qingluo Guang, from the perspective of identity, Xia Qingluo is condescending."
Even if it is Duke Rong’s son, he has the word "Shu".
By the way!
After Ye Kui finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something.
She guessed that the person Rong Fan was really following was not the fifth prince, but the seventh prince. But what was he doing such a dangerous thing? He took the risk because he was not willing to be just a concubine, right?
It's like what she guessed about the fifth prince just now.
This is probably true for Rong Fan!
The son born by the queen is the son of the legitimate child, and the rest are just illegitimate children. So the fifth prince has the same thought. Similarly, Duke Rong's prince is his eldest son, and it is said to be a very incompetent person. But he is the eldest son of the legitimate child. If he doesn't give him the position of the prince, can he still give him the son of the legitimate child?
So it is inevitable that Rong Fan will have such thoughts.
Anyone with some talent is bound to be proud, let alone an ambitious person. If he doesn't want to pull the prince down and turn himself up, then there is a ghost.
But judging from his identity, this is such a difficult thing. But if he had achieved the skill of following the dragon, it would be different.
Which emperor will not clear the way forward when he takes office?
At this time, Rong Fan can take the lead. Everything is so natural. What if Duke Rong opposes it? The truth will always be in the hands of a few people. Where is the king's law? Whoever is the boss, whoever says is the king's law!
"Well, I'll give her a post when I go back." Princess Liu Zhu wiped away her tears and rekindled her strength.
Ye Kui felt a little relieved and didn't keep her, so she asked Qin Sang to send her out.
Now, no one has the intention to stay for dinner.
She had no intention of keeping guests, and Princess Liu Zhu had no intention of being a guest. When the person left, Ye Kui had no intention of picking up news from Yong'an Hou. Now there is no big difference between speaking or not. When it comes to this point, everyone has already understood what will happen.
There are only two possibilities.
Dead.
Alive.
It's just four simple words.
Everyone understood, but no one was willing to think about it. Ye Kui smiled bitterly and caught a half-yellow fallen leaf floating in from the window.
The tip of the leaf has already appeared a very dull yellow, but the bottom is still green and full of vitality. It makes people feel happy when they look at it. The green onion fingers stroked the leaves along the veins of the leaves. Ye Kui suddenly clenched the leaves, crushed them and threw them out of the window. The leaf is dead...
After throwing away the leaves, she used her hand that crushed a leaf to cover her raised abdomen.
The life that was nurtured inside involuntarily restricted her footsteps.
She was very reluctant to be born in a turbulent manner, nor did she want him to see her father even if she was born.
Looking at the blue sky gradually losing outside the window, she murmured: "Pei Xiaojiu, you must live well..."
Qin Sang, who was approaching her, accidentally heard her words, and her eyes darkened. Even she began to feel that Pei Changge had encountered an unexpected situation and was afraid that she would not be able to come back. The child in Ye Kui's belly might be a posthumous child... However, she could only hold all this in her stomach.
Even if this news of Pei Changge's murder was heard from Cangcheng, they should have kept it from Ye Kui.
Ye Kui knew this in her heart.
So she could only comfort herself that fighting a war for several years is common and is the most common thing. How long has it been now?
She told herself day after day that they would all be back safely.
I am almost hypnotic, and I tell myself this sentence repeatedly day by day, and it seems like it is true if I say too much.
But three days later, the news about Cangcheng finally came back again after the murder of Shen Liu.
——General Pei, General Ye died outside Yu Pass!
When the news reached the Pei family, Qin Sang had three souls and two souls lost. Although she had thought about this possibility a long time ago, she could not believe it when she heard such news.
After being stunned for a long time, she suddenly remembered Ye Kui and murmured: "Madam, Madam must not know..."
But when she rushed to Ye Kui, Ye Kui looked at her with a pale face, and a note in her hand fell slowly...
