"Auntie, we're all at this point, so let's not be like it..." Hearing the little prince coughing, Apiao's words after being a bitch and then swallowed it up. She felt embarrassed to touch her nose and continued, "Your Highness Aoki has been very close to the Japanese. Isn't it that my aunt is making a match? My aunt should have agreed with His Royal Prince Aoki's actions before introducing the Japanese to him?"

"This..." My aunt's expression was very depressed. She sighed softly, "Although it was introduced by me, she was forced to do so."

"Forcing helpless?" His Highness and Apiao looked at each other, "Is it His Highness Aoki who forced you to hand over the contacts about the Japanese?"

"Yes, right?" the aunt sighed, "You let me think about it, and think about where to tell you."

"Okay, we want to hear you start from scratch."

Apiao and His Highness exchanged glances. They both cared about this. If they didn't know how Wanyan Qingmu and the Japanese got hooked up, they would not know what conflicts there were between the two sides, and they would not be able to implement their pre-set provocation plan.

However, judging from the current situation of my aunt, it is probably a bit reluctant to make connections between the two parties. I don’t know if Wanyan Qingmu forced her or the Japanese forced her to use both soft and hard methods.

"My aunt should mean to tell us that it is not your initiative to match these two parties, right?" Apiao took a sip of tea, "But if it weren't for your match, Your Highness Aoki wouldn't have known that my aunt has such friends, right? Or, the Japanese wanted to get to know Your Highness Aoki and forced her to introduce her to you?"

"Not either!" My aunt shook her head gently, "No one forced me, don't guess it. All this comes from my unintentional mistakes and my obsession." She sighed softly and sorted out her thoughts. "In order to prevent you from making random guesses, I'll start from the beginning. In this process, if you have anything you want to ask and any doubts, just interrupt me."

"Okay, please tell me once my aunt has thought about it."

After saying that, Apiao winked at Arou. Arou nodded, poured a cup of tea and brought it to her aunt's mouth. She watched her drink, and then returned to her position.

"I have said before that I have known Aoki for a long time, and I met Aping for a long time at the beginning."

"We know this, but..." His Highness thought, "It should have been in the royal palace at that time, right?"

"Yes, although the relationship between men and women in our Jin Dynasty is not as strict as that of Xia State, we should pay attention to it. There are no female relatives in the royal palace there. Every time Wanyan and Wen bring Aoki to the royal palace here, the elderly female officials from our side will send Aoki to the inner courtyard and to Aping's house. But even in the relationship, Wanyan and Wen still feel that it is not appropriate to meet Aping and Aoki alone, and it is not very suitable..." When the aunt said this, she snorted coldly, "I don't know where he came from, probably influenced by the big prince." She rolled her eyes silently, "Coincidentally, Aping also thinks so. Of course, she has her own purpose. I have mentioned this purpose before, just as you guessed, I want me to persuade Aoki not to hate his father so much. The two sides hit it off, and it turns out that every time we meet, three of us sit together."

"There are only three of you?"

"Not that, there are also a few female officials who stand far and cannot hear what we are talking about."

"So that's the case, please continue."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they hear it. We didn't talk about anything particularly out of the ordinary. We just advised Aoki not to get into a stubborn person, and to test his knowledge. Even if someone listened, it's no big deal." My aunt paused for a while and continued, "However, the persuasion during that period was actually a waste. People didn't listen at all, and probably thought I was stupid! Later, when Aoki entered the palace, it was not convenient for Aoki to enter the palace frequently, so we met outside. But from this time, we only met alone, and Aoki wouldn't know what we talked about."

"She..." His Highness thought for a while, "She trusts you so much, hasn't she ever asked you about it?"

"I asked, and at the beginning, I asked a few times, and I felt that the content we talked about was not a big deal, so I felt boring. Later, because her work was getting more and more, the things that required her to work hard occupied all her energy, and she didn't have the energy to inquire about this."

"So I'm giving you a chance to take advantage of the situation?" Seeing that my aunt nodded reluctantly, Apiao let out a long sigh, "At that time, His Highness Aoki was trying to make her aunt stand on his side, right?"

"Yes, he thought I was unwilling to be a relative who was not worthy of a name. He believed that with my ability, I could make a fortune for myself and make a career."

"This sentence comes to my aunt's heart. You are moved, so you cooperate with him, right?"

"Yes." Aunt nodded, "According to Aoki, I am ambitious, but I haven't found a good opportunity, a good companion, and a person who can appreciate my abilities."

"So, you were bewitched by him?"

"Yes!" My aunt nodded straightforwardly, "This is what I long for in my heart. Not only I hope to be able to make a name for myself, but the tribesmen also think so, otherwise they would not agree to my sister marrying one person at the same time, right? With such pressure, it is difficult not to go wrong. Faced with such great temptation, I could not refuse, so I half-swer and half-spokenly agreed to cooperate with him. During the cooperation process, I think he still has the ability, and I also think that if he lets him sit on the throne, it may be better than you and your sister. It is difficult for girls to be king."

"Then why didn't you tell him about my life experience?" The little prince narrowed his eyes, "Is this a fatal blow?"

"Because you are the retreat I left for myself. If he fails, I can still rely on you." My aunt chuckled, "Even if you know what I do, you will save my life because I have no credit and hard work, right?"

"Auntie is right. I won't kill you. I will definitely give you a care for the elderly and see you off." The little prince nodded, "You continue to say."
