Chapter 125 The Value
Li Yunxing nodded, his eyes dark and hard to distinguish.
Fortunately, Su Miaoxue did not disappoint him.
Li Yunxing showed a satisfied smile, and then ordered, "Keep staring and don't relax."
The secret guard retreated after receiving the order.
At this time, Li Yunxing picked up his pen again and continued to correct the memorial.
Ever since Li Yunxing started his early dynasty, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to slack off in their treatment of him, for fear of offending Long Yan and losing his temper.
The memorials presented are no longer trivial matters, they are all important matters of government affairs.
When Li Yunxing reviewed memorials, he would often think for a long time before writing.
It wasn't until dusk was getting darker that Li Yunxing closed the memorial in his hand and rubbed his sore neck.
At this time, he was still wearing a yellow robe with a python pattern, his hair tied up with a golden crown, and his face looked tired.
The little eunuch Jin who had been studying ink beside him was delighted when he saw this, and he quickly stepped forward to massage the prince's shoulders and back to loosen his muscles and bones.
"Your Highness, the weather has been hot these days. Your Highness, please take care of yourself! Don't overwork yourself," Jin Xi consoled him.
"Um."
Li Yunxing slowly closed his eyes, feeling his tense nerves slowly relax.
This Jin Xi is quite clever. Last time he was punished for the imperial physician's order, he did not say anything or complain at all.
Thinking of the imperial doctor's order, Li Yun was filled with excitement, and then asked, "After the last purge, did Liu...Have there been any changes on the Queen's side?"
Jin Xi shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that the Queen rarely leaves the palace during this period and has not summoned the Saint."
Jin Xi was the most capable eunuch around Li Yunxing, so he naturally had a better understanding of the situation in the royal family than others.
Now within the palace, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen is tense.
As someone close to the prince, he naturally has to keep track of the queen's movements at all times.
It's just that lately, the Queen and the Empress have been keeping to themselves.
Apart from visiting and taking care of the emperor's Yongle Palace on a daily basis, he rarely went out, let alone meeting Liu Zhongqing.
Li Yunxing nodded secretly in his heart, naturally knowing the reason why Liu Ruxu did this.
Liu Ruxu really treasured Su Zhaoyang. Seeing that Su Zhaoyang was sent out to provide disaster relief, she rarely caused trouble for herself in the palace, fearing that she would take revenge on Su Zhaoyang.
But at the same time, it was equivalent to giving up on Su Miaoxue in disguise.
Even though he knew that Su Miaoxue was living a miserable life in the East Palace, he didn't come to help her.
This Liu Ruxu is somewhat similar to her father. They are both very calculating people.
Jin was happy to see that His Highness the Crown Prince was in a good mood today, so he timidly mentioned, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have a question, I don't know whether I should ask."
Li Yunxing was resting his mind with his eyes closed, and frowned when he heard a faint sound like a mosquito or fly in his ears.
"When did I teach you to be so hesitant? If you don't want to, just step back and get the board." Li Yunxing said in a displeased tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I know I was wrong." Jin Xi fell to his knees on the ground.
I am afraid that because of one word, I will cause another disaster.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I just want to ask..." Jin Xi stuttered, "Why did His Highness the Crown Prince know that the Holy Lady was hiding poison, but did not choose to expose her directly, but kept her in the palace all the time?"
Li Yunxing raised his eyelids and glanced at Jin Xi. Unexpectedly, Jin Xi actually wanted to ask about this matter.
Then he closed it again and said, "Get up and keep pressing."
The young eunuch Jin Xi then got the order and quickly stood up from the ground, massaging Li Yunxing's shoulders harder.
"Why would you want to ask about this?"
"This servant is just curious, what is so special about this saint, that His Highness the Prince is not angry because of her betrayal?"
"Not only that, but I also gave her the precious King Peony from the Royal Garden. She is just a saint, so why should the prince spend so much money on it?"
This has been a long-standing confusion in Jin Xi's heart.
Su Miaoxue is just a saint. In the final analysis, she is just a puppet of the Liu family, a tool used to confuse Emperor Wu.
Moreover, the name of the saint is just a false position, and the real power is still in the hands of Liu Zhongqing.
The prince knew that Su Miaoxue's value was not high, but he still had high hopes for her.
According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's past habit of dealing with traitors, perhaps Su Miaoxue's whereabouts are unknown now.
But His Highness the Crown Prince not only did not punish her, but also rewarded her with many gifts.
So, does His Highness the Crown Prince really like Su Miaoxue?
"You only know that Su Miaoxue is a saint, but do you know who she represents?" Li Yunxing suddenly asked.
Jin Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then replied, "His Royal Highness, are you talking about the Liu family?"
Li Yunxing smiled and shook his head, "No, the Liu family is not a backer. She represents the Su family."
"The Su family?" Jin Xi's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Su Tianyang was executed by the prince. Where is the Su family in this court?
"Yes. Don't think that the Su family is finished when Su Tianyang dies."
"As his legitimate son, Su Zhaoyang should shoulder the obligation to revitalize the Soviet style. Although everyone in the court knows that Liu Zhongqing trained Su Zhaoyang as a chess piece to win over his legitimate son in order to be able to control the court in the future."
"But I don't believe it. Su Zhaoyang is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others. Is he really willing to be Liu Zhongqing's puppet?"
Su Tianyang is dead, and now there are only two bloodlines left in the Su family, Su Zhaoyang and Su Miaoxue.
Although Su Zhaoyang is timid, he also values friendship. He treats Liu Ruxu like a loving mother and a filial son, not to mention Su Miaoxue, his only blood relative.
But Su Miaoxue is different from Su Zhaoyang. She is a woman, she does not yearn for glory and wealth, and she is unwilling to participate in the struggle for power in the court.
Liu Zhongqing thought that the conditions he gave were enough to satisfy Su Miaoxue.
As everyone knows, the "freedom" promised by Li Yunxing is what Su Miaoxue wants most.
"Your Highness, do you want to use Su Miaoxue to blackmail Su Zhaoyang?" Jin Xi asked in surprise.
"Haha, blackmail? No!" Li Yunxing said scornfully, "Su Miaoxue may eventually become my pawn and spy on the Liu family for me."
A mere Su Miaoxue could blackmail Su Zhaoyang. How could Su Miaoxue be of such high value?
What he wants is for Su Miaoxue to be a bargaining chip for him to spy on the Su family's intelligence!
Su Miaoxue's special status will not arouse Liu Zhongqing's suspicion, but she can also gain Liu Ruxu's favor.
"Your Highness made such a wonderful move!" Jin Xi couldn't help but admire.
Li Yunxing curled his lips slightly and did not explain further.
"Oh, that's it! I understand, this slave." Jin Xi suddenly realized. "His Royal Highness is wise!"
"Well, let's go down. You should keep an eye on me when I'm not in the palace these days. If the Saint has had contact with the Queen, you must report it to me."
"yes."
"Remember, no matter what the circumstances, your whereabouts must not be exposed."
