Chapter 212 It’s time to change
Feng Yuchen didn't want to hide anything from her, so she told her her plan in detail.
After hearing this, Huang Jiu felt that the blood all over her body was about to solidify, and her back felt cold.
Is this emperor really so ruthless?
Huang Jiu's face was a little pale. Thinking of the emperor's methods, her hands trembled a little. She tightly grasped the corner of her clothes to calm herself down.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuchen had to bear so many things alone.
"Husband, thank you for doing so much for me." Huang Jiu leaned on his arms and looked at her son in his arms. He was so cute and innocent.
But for such an ignorant little baby, those people didn't want to let him go.
Huang Jiu's eyes were full of anger, she could no longer be so weak.
'No matter what, the Xiao family has some blood relationship with that person. She can't watch them being framed and die.
In order to prevent himself from causing future troubles, the emperor wanted to exterminate the Xiao family who had always been loyal.
He was even more wary of this general's mansion to the point of being extremely unhappy.
Feng Yuchen must have protected the Xiao family because of her, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about the life and death of the Xiao family.
"What are you talking about? You have never had any relatives. You cherish these relatives very much. How could I ignore them?"
Huang Jiu also secretly had contact with the Xiao family, and the Xiao family also knew her identity, but they just pretended not to know her on the surface.
When she left Lingyu Country this time, she must have wanted to take away the Xiao family members.
He can help her do all these things.
Huang Jiu said with a smile: "We can take the Xiao family members with us, but we can't take them to Xiling."
Xiao Guogong told her that he wanted to retire and live a peaceful life, but Xiao Qingqing had secretly gone to Xiling and was now married to Yuan Ji.
Duke Xiao Guogong no longer had anything to worry about, so he just wanted to retire from the court.
Huang Jiu promised him to let them retreat, but he didn't expect the time to come so quickly.
"Well, we can take them into the Medicine Valley in Xiling. The people there are isolated from the rest of the world. It's a good place for their family to live."
The owner of the Medicine Valley was once a good friend of his father and had been in contact with the General's Mansion over the years. The owner also agreed to let the Xiao family live in the valley.
With them protecting the Xiao family, they would have nothing to worry about.
"That's great! I'm still thinking about how to arrange them!"
Huang Jiu has never thought of a good way to settle the Xiao family. After all, she doesn't know much about the outside world.
If someone could help settle the Xiao family, she would have no worries.
If you go to Xiling now, you may never come back!
Another month later, the business of Yuquan Building was even more prosperous. Huang Jiu went to the third floor and met Liu Nan.
"Uncle Liu, in a few days the emperor's decree on dealing with the Xiao family will be issued. You must evacuate as soon as possible after we leave."
Huang Jiu already understood Feng Yuchen's plan.
The emperor wanted to accuse the Xiao family of collaborating with the enemy and treason, because Xiao Guogong's two sons were guarding the border, and this time they were defeated because the reserve grain and fodder could not keep up.
The emperor was furious and wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Xiao family.
Feng Yuchen dealt with it, and the emperor promised him that he would not kill everyone in the Xiao family, but would only let them drink poisonous wine and commit suicide.
During this period, he could replace the poisoned wine and let them fake death to save the lives of the Xiao family.
Liu Nan also already knew Feng Yuchen's plan and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I didn't expect that the prince-in-law is so resourceful. We will definitely cooperate with the prince-in-law's plan."
Liu Nan has been in contact with Feng Yuchen during this period. They all know his plan and admire the consort's resourcefulness from the bottom of their hearts.
Huang Jiu had gotten used to the way they called Feng Yuchen, so she just let them go.
Thinking that the Xiao family left the Lingyu Kingdom with such a reputation, Huang Jiu felt very unwilling.
The emperor said that he would label his ministers as treason, but he could only bear it as a minister.
"Uncle Liu, I'm a little reluctant. The Xiao family has been loyal to the country for generations and has never had selfish motives. In the end, they can only end up like this to save their lives! What is going on in this world?"
Huang Jiu suddenly felt chilled. How many loyal ministers have been able to get a good ending since ancient times?
Liu Nan looked at the current Huang Jiu and shook his head worriedly. If His Highness is still so soft-hearted, how will he ascend the throne of the Nine-Fiveth Emperor in the future?
The battle in Xiling is a hundred times more cruel than here. It will not be a good thing if His Highness continues to be so weak.
Those centuries-old nobles can work together to eat up all the dregs of His Highness.
"Your Highness, compassion is a good thing for the people, but from the emperor's perspective, compassion is not a good thing! Excessive compassion will only make oneself irrecoverable! If the master had been as compassionate as Your Highness, the living person would no longer be the master!"
"I remember that my master said that if he dies, the next emperor who appears may not be as cruel as him, or even more cruel than him. It may not be a good thing for the people. An emperor who is too compassionate will only
If you become a pawn of those noble clans, it is the common people who will suffer!"
"So the master said that he could not die! He did not dare to die! Only when he saw that the world was at peace, those century-old noble clans were destroyed, and the people lived a good life, would he dare to take his last breath."
"Your Highness, you also know what the master expects from you. I hope that Your Highness will be more cruel, which is the best for everyone."
Liu Nan couldn't help but lower his eyes. These words might be a big blow to His Highness if he said them now, but if he didn't say them, His Highness wouldn't be able to protect himself.
When she went to Xiling, she faced the entire court and the people of Xiling. Your Highness was too kind, and people would only treat her as a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated.
In the end, not only could I not protect the young master, but I would also be doomed to death!
Huang Jiu looked at him indifferently, she was not surprised that he could say such words.
She didn't think he was so cold-blooded, and she knew he was right, but the fact that she had developed an aloof character over the years made her feel grievances for the Xiao family for a while!
Since she decided to embark on the road to Xiling Country, she couldn't help but have a weak heart. Feng Yuchen cut off all escape routes for her and wanted to follow her to Xiling Country.
If she continues to fight for nothing as before, she will only put everyone following her in danger.
Whether it's Han Yue or Uncle Liu, these people are all hers after all. Even if the master doesn't live up to expectations, how can he protect the people around him?
"Uncle Liu, you are right! I will learn to be a strong-hearted person, don't worry!"
Huang Jiu's eyes were indifferent, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
Liu Nan was stunned. He thought His Highness would reprimand him, but he didn't expect her to accept his words so quickly?
Looking at Huang Jiu's face, he actually looked a bit like a master.
As expected of the master's child, he is also so calm about changes, and he is indeed capable of great things.
"It's good that Your Highness didn't blame your subordinates for talking too much!" Liu Nan said those words at the risk of his own life.
If it were another prince or princess, his head would have been moved long ago, but now the head is still strong, which shows that His Highness is a benevolent king.
This kind of His Highness should be what the master wants to see, right?
