Yun Zishu pondered for a moment: "How is that Concubine Gua doing now?"
The reason why Emperor Dongyou and Empress Dongyou abandoned their eldest son without mercy was due to this concubine. If she said she didn't have any sinister intentions, Yun Zishu would never believe it.
Concubine Gua?
Yun Zishu said coldly, "Poison Concubine is pretty much the same."
"I don't know about Beizhi, they didn't mention it, and Beizhi is not interested in her either." Sicang's voice was calm and steady, but he could hear his disgust for the Dongyou royal family, "Originally, Beizhi didn't want to pay attention to the people of Dongyou, and he never thought about it.
I wanted to go back and meet those strangers, but..."
Ever since Yun Zishu left the Xiao family, Sicang slowly changed his mind.
Yun Zishu looked out the window in silence.
At this time, she couldn't help but recall her past life. At that time, she didn't know that Sicang had this secret of his life experience. In other words, Sicang should have never had any contact with the Dongyou royal family in his previous life.
Otherwise, he shouldn't have died in the Xiao family. Even if he avenged her, he could have used other methods. He didn't need to personally destroy the entire Xiao family, and he wouldn't have died so miserably.
The reason why he changed his mind in this life was probably because he understood her ambition and wanted to help her, so he reluctantly negotiated terms with the people sent by Dongyou.
No one can be indifferent to being loved and protected by someone so wholeheartedly, especially if they have actually paid the price with their lives.
When he was laying her coffin, Sicang's expression of despair and sorrow, and the aura of loneliness and sadness that emanated from his whole body, were wounds that she would never forget, and she still cannot let go of them.
Every time she thought about it, her heart ached.
Looking away, Yun Zishu picked up the tea cup and recovered from the past. Her heart felt as uncomfortable as a big stone pressing on her. She really hoped that it was just a simple nightmare.
"Sicang." She said quietly, "Do you think my choice is the right one?"
Si Cang was startled, "Your Highness means..."
"Great Yongjiang Mountain."
oh.
Sicang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he thought she was talking about feelings.
"As long as His Highness makes the decision, it is correct." He said without any hesitation in his tone. "Besides, there is also the Queen's blood feud. If His Highness wants revenge, he must let the Emperor get off that chair."
Yun Zishu hummed and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Okay, anyway, as long as she does something, it is right in his opinion.
What is wrong is also right.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu sighed softly, "It's great to have you."
Sicang was startled again.
"Did I do too many good deeds in my previous life to meet you in this life?" Yun Zishu said, her eyebrows suddenly frowning, "But if such an encounter requires you to pay such a high price, I feel that
God is too cruel."
Such a young child is abandoned right after birth. Who knows how cruelly he will be treated under the unpredictable fate outside?
How could Emperor Dongyou and Empress Dongyou be so cruel and coldhearted that they could bear to throw away their own flesh and blood?
Worse than a beast!
Yun Zishu thought of the suffering Sicang had suffered in those years. He was often scarred, and even fainted several times due to injuries. He was so close to the gate of hell again and again - if he hadn't been abandoned, he should have stayed in Dongyou to live the life of a master.
In life, you will inherit the country and dominate the world in the future.
The eldest son of the royal family, what a noble birth. Dayong Shadow Pavilion, what a cruel place.
Clouds and hell are often just a thought away.
"I think this is my luck." Sicang's voice was low and restrained, habitually hiding his emotional ups and downs, "Prince Dongyou's life may not be better than it is now."
Yun Zishu remained silent. There was no way to assume what had happened, so no one was sure whether he could have survived until now if he had stayed in Dongyou as his eldest son.
But the fact is that Empress Dongyou personally abandoned her son, leaving him to suffer in the Shadow Pavilion in a foreign land and endure the torment of training for more than ten years.
In those years, many lives were lost in Shadow Pavilion, and the smell of blood is still strong.
Yun Zishu felt that the couple of emperors and empresses did not deserve forgiveness.
"Since you have decided, Jiangshan, please bring it over." She said calmly, her eyes cold and ruthless, "They are the ones asking you to go back, so naturally they have to show sincerity."
Si Cang nodded, thinking of what Yun Zishu said before going to bed, and said, "The Xiao family has been imprisoned."
Yun Zishu turned to look at him.
Si Cangdan said: "Several generals in the army came to the palace this afternoon to meet the emperor, kneeling down and begging the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly, saying that Xiao Yuanting was framed."
Yun Zishu chuckled: "Framing?"
Si Cang snorted.
"If it is possible that someone framed him for treason, and he was embezzling military pay, that is solid evidence. Who would frame him?" Yun Zishu sneered, "Those boxes of gold and silver were shipped to his house by others? Is it possible?
Maybe there is a secret passage underground in General Xiao's mansion, and the stolen money can be transported there without anyone noticing..."
Before she finished speaking, Yun Zishu suddenly fell silent, and then hesitantly said: "How did so many boxes of gold and silver get into the secret room of the Xiao family's study? Is there really a secret passage?"
Sicang shook his head: "Every day in the family mansion, there are regular people who go out to purchase, and the general's mansion is no exception. Putting the money in the purchased ingredients and transporting it into the mansion is an easy task for a general who is proficient in the art of war.
Things that have arrived.”
Yun Zishu nodded slowly: "That's true."
Sicang said: "The emperor met with several generals and said some comforting words, but those generals didn't seem to buy it and still demanded a thorough investigation of the truth."
Yun Zishu raised her lips and said: "Let them make trouble. The bigger the trouble, the better. The position of a general can easily arouse jealousy. The more the generals show their loyalty at this juncture, the easier it will be for people to think that they support the troops and respect themselves.
It will not be good for the Xiao family to make a big fuss."
Although no matter whether there is trouble or not, the Xiao family will definitely die this time. Even if the father wants to protect them, there is no valid reason.
They are greedy for military pay, and the amount is huge. They have only one way to die, and even gods can't save them.
Yun Zishu looked at the moonlight outside the window and said in a calm voice, "This night will be over soon."
"Your Highness, can you sleep a little longer?"
Yun Zishu shook her head, relaxed her body and leaned on the couch: "The past two days have not been peaceful. I want to stay in the house for a few days to have some peace and quiet, but it is probably unlikely that I will be able to do so."
Sicang said: "Your Highness can take a rest if he wants. The humble staff will arrange for people to guard the place outside. Unless there is an earth-shattering event, no one will come in and disturb His Highness."
"I want to meet Uncle Feng Guo tomorrow." Yun Zishu pondered, "If you want to let your most precious grandson be at my disposal, I should go and meet this old man."
Ever since Feng Ci came to the princess mansion that night, she had not seen him again. He was indeed low-key enough.
