89. Chapter 89 Encountering an old friend by chance 8
Xicheng Jue looked determined to win, and his eyes became clearer and clearer, "Is Princess Jiaoyue really not going to follow me? If Princess Jiaoyue insists on going her own way, she will miss the good show..."
What's a good show? Is it a good show about Bei Mingxue marrying to Xitan Country?
Xicheng Jue's eyes were so magnanimous that Bei Mingyue felt a little irritated. She simply lowered her eyes and looked away. She caught a glimpse of a tile that was broken into two halves under her feet. Her eyes paused and then brightened.
No! Xicheng Jue is misleading her!
Since Xi Zimu has a connection with Xicheng Jue, it means that the Xi family must have been hooking up with Xicheng Jue for a long time. Otherwise, if Xi Zimu had made such a big move, there is no reason why Prime Minister Xi, that old fox, wouldn't have found any clues!
But Xicheng Jue only regards Xi Zimu as a chess piece in his hand... So Xi Zimu's real backer is undoubtedly Prime Minister Xi!
Although Prime Minister Xi holds great power, the Shangshu Mansion behind Concubine He cannot be underestimated. More importantly, Prime Minister Xi and Shangshu have always been tit-for-tat enemies. Every year, impeachment papers are presented to the father's desk one after another.
Based on this alone, it is impossible for Concubine He to let Xi Zimu go. Even if she does not care about herself, she must also take into account the interests of the family!
Therefore, Bei Mingxue replaced her as Princess Jiaoyue. It was absolutely impossible for Concubine He to want to see it. Her hatred for Xi Zimu did not seem to be fake. It was impossible to watch Bei Mingxue getting married soon, and Xi Zimu was about to get married.
Mu was about to be promoted to concubine based on her son's honor, but she didn't stop her. That only meant that... her power was hindered!
But it is impossible that the Shangshu Mansion cannot deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise the two parties would not have been at odds for so many years, unless... the man in front of him took action to resolve it, or Concubine He used a trick!
The more Bei Mingyue thought about it, the more certain she became that Xicheng Jue would do whatever it takes to get her. I'm afraid this matter couldn't be resolved satisfactorily because he was responsible for it. But Concubine He was definitely not a vegetarian. She would not be able to take revenge for ten years just by relying on her as a gentleman.
With Wan's courage, she is definitely a ruthless character. Even if Xicheng Jue wants to keep Xi Zimu, Concubine He will not give up!
Then, the only way left is... it would be better to be in pieces than in ruins!
As long as Concubine He dares to risk everything, on the day Bei Mingxue is to get married, she musters the power of the Shangshu Mansion to expose Bei Mingxue in front of the envoys of Xitan Kingdom and the Manchu ministers.
It certainly cannot be separated from the relationship, and I am afraid that her vitality will be severely damaged due to this incident. If Concubine He makes good use of it, she may even plunge the Xi Mansion into a situation beyond recovery!
So what Xicheng Jue just said about going back and watching the show... was actually reminding her that if she wanted to completely overthrow Prime Minister Xi's power, she might as well choose to rush back at this time to add fuel to the show?
But why did Xicheng Jue help her? Did he want to please her?
"Ah Yue, you don't have to be controlled by him. Your prince brother and I are here. He is just the prince of Xitan Kingdom. This is not his Xitan Kingdom. He can't make the decision yet!"
Bei Mingyue's expression was unpredictable, which made Nangong Lin feel worse and worse in her heart. She couldn't help but remind her again that with him here, he would definitely not let Xicheng Jue hurt her at all!
"...Lin, let's go back to the palace first."
Bei Mingyue paused, and finally chose to say these words,
