"Aren't you...aren't you afraid that they...will rebel?" Fang Yulu was afraid that Yu Xijiao wouldn't understand, so she made it clearer.
"The King of Zhongshan is planning a rebellion?" Yu Xijiao thought thoughtfully.
Fang Yulu's hands shook nervously, and her voice lowered unconsciously: "Qi...King Qi and the others...if...if they rebel, they will kill the nine tribes."
"This is what Miss Fang said. Not only are we victims, but we will also bring trouble to our family?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, her expression genuine.
His facial expressions are natural and clear, and there is no trace of fear in him.
"A lot of people will...will die, not just myself, but also the relatives around me...all the relatives." Fang Yulu said with tears in her eyes.
"Since all the relatives around you will die and will be trapped in it, why aren't you afraid?" Yu Xijiao suddenly asked.
With one word, it seemed as if something hit Fang Yulu's Tianling Cap hard. She looked at Yu Xijiao in astonishment, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and only her rapid breathing showed that she was still awake.
"I……"
"Miss Fang, you want to get married. If something happens to you, no one in your house will worry. But if something happens to you, it's not just you, but also all your relatives, including your father, your stepmother and...
Your sister, they are not panicking now, but you are the only one panicking. Does this make sense? If this is the case, Mr. Fang probably won’t just watch you die!”
After all, this so-called death place does not belong to Fang Yulu alone.
It means that if you want to die, you have to die together...
Yu Xijiao's smile was elegant and leisurely, as if she was talking about someone else's business. She smiled slightly, her eyebrows were sweet, and her delicate appearance even though there was a touch of childishness made people feel relaxed.
Fang Yulu finally moved, stretched out her hand to hold her chest, and slowly closed her eyes.
Yu Xijiao did not interrupt her silence. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly. This person named Sun Nao was a key. He was just a scholar who had just arrived in the capital. How could he dare to intervene in this matter?
Something?
"So, I was really led by someone's nose. From the moment I heard the news, everything I had has been led away by others, instead of the maid beside me recommending Sun Nao to me.
Let's start." Fang Yulu spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Our marriage is a marriage granted by the palace. It cannot be changed by our will. No matter what happens in the future, we must obey the emperor's order. Whether we marry or not, we must do it according to the emperor's wishes. That way
Even if something happens to us, nothing will happen to our parents' family, after all, it is the emperor's order."
Yu Xijiao knew that she had figured it out, and when she saw her eyes turned red, her eyes calmed down.
"I'm so stupid!" Fang Yulu laughed with tears in her eyes, tears falling down her face.
"Miss Fang, now is not the time to talk about this. I just feel strange why Miss Fang always thinks that something will happen after marrying the prince of Zhongshan." Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.
This matter actually needs to be investigated from the root.
"I...I have always felt this way. Everyone in the house...all said so." Fang Yulu lowered her head.
"Did anyone in the house come to you and say anything?" Yu Xijiao looked at her and smiled slightly.
"This...that's not the case. At most, the second sister will occasionally say one or two words, but it's not much." Fang Yulu shook her head, and only after regaining her senses did she think about these details that she had not paid attention to before.
The news that marrying the prince of Zhongshan means death is deeply ingrained in her mind, but when did it start?
"My sister occasionally says a few words, but she doesn't say too much. She may even stop as soon as she says it, feeling that she has lost her words. Then she can always hear it from some servants, or Miss Fang herself, or maybe
People around me always say that marrying the prince of Zhongshan will not end well in the end."
Yu Xijiao understood, her long eyelashes fluttered twice and she concluded.
"Okay...it seems so." Fang Yulu thought about it carefully and nodded.
"so,
When the decree was issued, there were people in the house who were not kind to Miss Fang. Although they didn't know what happened today at that time, I'm afraid they had a plan long ago." Yu Xijiao pointed out.
"My stepmother." When you become clear, your brain can think again.
"I don't know, I only know what happened today. If something really happens, Miss Fang, not only you, but also your father... I'm afraid it will be difficult for you." Yu Xijiao said calmly, "Listen
The Prince of Zhongshan said that Master Fang and how many people showed up at that time?"
"Yes, father showed up." Fang Yulu nodded.
"If Prince Zhongshan hadn't appeared, would Mr. Fang have found you in that courtyard when he came over?" Yu Xijiao asked in return.
"It should be... Dongmei will definitely rush out." Fang Yulu gritted her teeth and said, Dongmei was her personal maid and the person she trusted most in the past.
"If the maid rushes out at that time and Master Fang is led over, and sees a disheveled man in Miss Fang's room, what does Miss Fang think Master Fang will do?"
Yu Xijiao continued to guide and ask, there is another key to this matter...
"If my father sees me... I... can only die to apologize." Fang Yulu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and gritted her teeth.
"So what if you die to apologize? Your father and others have already seen it. If my guess is correct, although those two people do not have high official positions, they are not the people your father wants to deal with." Yu Xijiao meant.
Deep and authentic.
Fang Yulu was speechless, she just looked at Yu Xijiao, waiting for her to continue.
"If they were willing to help your father hide this matter at that time, would they accept it based on Miss Fang's understanding of your father? As long as they hide the matter and deal with the man, if Miss Fang and his daughter don't tell them, they won't
Say, if you use this to exchange for your father's favor, what will your father do?"
Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
Fang Yulu was stunned. She had not thought in this direction, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.
"My father... should be particularly grateful to these two." After hesitating, Fang Yulu spoke.
"Fang Shangshu would like to express his special thanks to these two people for safeguarding the face of the Fang Mansion, so that you don't have to die to apologize, and you don't have to bring trouble to the family. Your father will ignore you again. After all, he is also your biological father, and it is impossible to watch it.
I will die with you and not be moved." Yu Xijiao analyzed.
Fang Yulu nodded silently.
"Then after this incident, your father will be held hostage by them." Yu Xijiao smiled.
Fang Yulu stood up suddenly, "Their purpose is... is it my father?"
"What do you think, Miss Fang? With us as a little future princess? The people in the inner court have used the skills of the outer court, and it seems to be a big deal, and what they did is just two little us?" Yu Xijiao smiled and said.
He said calmly.
Fang Yulu slowly sat down, her breathing was a little rapid, but she didn't speak rashly anymore. She stretched out her hand to press her chest, "They... are threatening father, and father... will not agree."
"At that time, it will no longer be a matter of disagreement between your father and your father. Ling your honor as the Minister of Rites will play the most important role at the critical moment. It may even be no less than the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of War." Yu
Xi Jiao pointedly said, "As long as your father has the handle and is in the hands of others, it will only be a matter of time before he can't help himself."
The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments, and has always had the most unusual status. As for the Ministry of War, it is because it holds military power, and the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of criminal law. The rest of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are relatively weak and feel not as important as the previous ones.
.
But in fact, no matter which one of the six parts it is, it is very important, especially as the first part of the Book of Documents.
"For example..." Fang Yulu said.
"For example, let's say the crown prince..." Before Yu Xi could finish her coquettish words, Fang Yulu suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat on her vest, and held the handkerchief tightly with her hands.
Being involved in the dispute over the establishment of the crown prince would probably result in the execution of the whole family, which was much more serious than what she had thought before when she married someone.
The room fell silent, and only Fang Yulu's heavy breathing could be heard.
After a long while, Fang Yulu stood up
He stood up and bowed deeply to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand to help her, and said softly: "Miss Fang, let's sit down and talk. At least now that we are both sitting here, nothing has happened, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune."
Fang Yulu stood up straight, nodded silently, sat down again, twitched her fingers and said, "Miss Yu, don't worry."
"Why worry? It was done by the emperor's order." Yu Xijiao knew the root cause of this matter, "Since it was done by the emperor's order, we can't shake it. As for the future...no one knows what will happen in the future, Miss Fang
Just remember this and stop worrying unfoundedly! You will be the Crown Prince of Zhongshan from now on, and if anything happens to the Crown Prince of Zhongshan, you won't be able to escape."
Fang Yulu shivered.
"This is our fate. If we can't escape, we have to accept it." Yu Xijiao continued, "The more you escape, the more people will scheme against you, or the entire Fang Mansion will die before you even get married.
"
Yu Xijiao said everything politely, lest Fang Yulu think she could still struggle and cause new troubles.
Fang Yulu's face turned blue and white for a while, and then she said for a long time: "I was wrong. The emperor's order is like this, and no one can disobey it."
"It's best for Miss Fang to think so. Whether the marriage happens in advance or not, for us, everything is the emperor's order, and we are just two weak women. What we can do is try not to become a handle in the hands of others.
, or someone else stabs our loved ones with a sharp knife, and the Zhongshan Palace is not a dead end."
Yu Xijiao smiled, and after letting Fang Yulu stop thinking about it, she gave her another reassurance.
The royal and princess blood around her could see this clearly and did not feel that her status was special. Fang Yulu was even more ashamed. This time, she really gave up!
Marrying is necessary, and this time it was the Crown Prince of Zhongshan who saved her. Now she is awake and understands that her and Crown Prince Zhongshan’s interests are one and the same...
