The emperor had endured humiliation for many years to protect the two brothers’ lives. How could His Highness really sit back and do nothing?
Shen Yijia did not expect to hear about the beautiful uncle’s love history. For some reason, she suddenly felt depressed and uncomfortable. She pinched her fingers and asked, “Then, the beautiful uncle broke up with that woman and married someone with the surname Yu?”
After asking, Shen Yijia immediately realized how silly her question was. From the beginning, her beautiful husband had said that Consort Jing’an came from the Yu family.
What she really wanted to ask was what happened to that commoner woman.
Song Jingchen glanced at Shen Yijia. He frowned and held her hand.
His hand was warm, dispelling Shen Yijia’s inexplicable emotions. She turned around and grinned at Song Jingchen. “Hubby, you’re the best.”
You Yi thought to himself, “I’m still here!”
“My lord had no choice at that time. Moreover, that girl’s personality…”
He glanced at Shen Yijia again. “It’s a bit similar to Miss.”
Shen Yijia paused. What did it have to do with her?
However, if she knew that someone dared to force Song Jingchen and bully his family like this, she would definitely secretly kill those people.
However, the aristocratic families had long been deeply rooted in powerful positions. Their web of power was complicated. How could it be resolved by killing one or two family heads?
“In short, it’s just a little naive.” You Yi rubbed his nose and touched a cold mask. He retracted his hand awkwvardly.
“Because of this, my lord didn’t dare to tell her the truth. Most importantly, at that time, he couldn’t even protect himself. How could he have the ability to protect others? He was worried that the Yu family would harm that girl, so he said some harsh words and listened to the emperor’s arrangements to marry Miss Yu. ”
In the Yu family’s opinion, the emperor’s only brother taking the initiative to marry their daughter was extending an olive branch to them, so they became the first aristocratic family to side with the emperor.
Seeing that the emneror Dlaced the Yu familv in such an imnortant nosition. the Cui and Pei families were not to be outdone.
At that time, they felt that instead of letting their grandson be controlled by the other family clans as a puppet, it was better to let him be the legitimate king.
By the time the aristocratic families realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. In the next five years, the emperor first used the three families that had joined him to eliminate the remaining three families, then slowly devoured the power of the remaining three families.
Although the emperor did not kill these three families in the end, it was impossible for these three families to cause any trouble.
Moreover, the emperor did not let them continue to exist because of their friendship back then. He just wanted to use them to balance the powers within the imperial court.
After all, he did not want the family he had promoted to become a potential competitor to the bloodline.
“He’s really not a good person. Not only did he let that girl down, but he also used another girl.”
Shen Yijia couldn’t be bothered to analyze the twists and turns in the imperial court of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, so she simply listened to Xuanyuan Ce’s love history.
You Yi thought, “The woman you’re talking about is very likely the person who bribed the officials today!”
However, his ultimate goal in saying so much today was to clarify things for His Highness, not to slander him.
He said seriously, “Before my lord asked to marry Miss Yu, he told her that he would only give her the position of princess consort. Miss Yu agreed to it herself.”
He had been following Xuanyuan Ce since the late emperor died, so he naturally knew more than Chu Feng.
“But she still had Xuanyuan Ye with him,” Shen Yijia said disdainfully.
She didn’t know why she was angry, but she was angry!
You Yi froze and muttered, “I can’t explain it clearly. His Highness will explain it to you in the future.”
“What has it got to do with me? If he wants to explain, he should explain it to the girl he betrayed.” Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, “Are you my subordinate or Lord Jing’an’s subordinate? If you’re his subordinate, go and look for him now. I don’t want you anymore.”
She looked like a heartless heartless woman. She was clearly the one who asked about it first.
You Yi felt very aggrieved. In order not to let Xuanyuan Ce know, he decided to cling to Shen Yijia.
“I’m…’
Song Jingchen suddenly said, “Do you know that man today?”
You Yi thought to himself, “Can you let me express my loyalty first? Or at least let me drink some water!”
Meeting Song Jingchen’s gaze, he could only answer obediently, “It’s His Highness the Second Prince. His mother’s family is the Pei family.” Song Jingchen nodded. It was as he had guessed.
“That’s not right. After saying so much, why is the Yu family targeting us?” Shen Yijia finally remembered the original intention of this conversation.
“Perhaps they’re not targeting us, but the person holding this token other than Lord Jing’an himself.” Song Jingchen placed Xuanyuan Ce’s token on the table and guessed.
Before seeing Xuanyuan Ce’s token, the official did not show any obvious hostility..
