Han Jiangxue had roughly discussed the matters in the palace today with her father and brother.

As for the later incident of Mo Li taking her to the Western Mountains to look for plum blossoms in the snow, he briefly mentioned it and omitted it. The encounter between the princess of Nanliang Kingdom was not mentioned at all, so as to save her father and brother unnecessary worries.

Han Jing and the others had just heard about the Meng family's letter asking the emperor to hand over the old King Meng within one month. The palace deliberately concealed the news, so as not to cause trouble for many surrounding mobs in Gannan until the rebellion was over.

Under such pressure, the imminent rebellion of the Meng family was too disturbing to the people.

"Sister, I think the emperor just wants to use Concubine Meng's incident to gain your trust and favor."

Han Jing was not as reserved as Mo Li, and said directly: "Even if you really ask him, on the surface it seems that he will release Concubine Meng from the palace, but in the end, who can say clearly whether Concubine Meng is dead or alive?

?Our current emperor is very thoughtful, otherwise there is no way he would have been able to take this seat so smoothly!"

Han Jiangxue nodded slightly, not denying the possibility that her brother said, but she didn't want to make unnecessary comments about Li Qing.

"Xue'er, what you and Mo Li did today was a bit too bold. It would be fine if you said you were not feeling well and left the palace early. After all, the emperor didn't stop you at that time, but how could you let Mo Li do the same?

Why don't you attend the ceremony when you leave the palace halfway?"

Han Feng was naturally a little worried: "You know better than anyone else how the Emperor treats Mo Li. Aren't you taking the initiative to let Mo Li leave a clue for the Emperor to catch?"

"Father, they've already left. It's useless to talk about this now. What's more, even if Mo Li doesn't leave any clues for the emperor, it's impossible for the emperor not to trouble Mo Li."

Han Jing didn't feel there was anything to be nervous about: "Besides, you don't know Mo Li's character. If he dared to leave with his sister at that time, it means that he had already planned and arranged everything. I think so.

, sometimes, it is not necessarily a bad thing to leave some small mistakes appropriately. If the emperor really cannot find any mistakes, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more troublesome!"

These words were quite reasonable. After hearing this, Han Jing nodded and said nothing more, while Han Jiangxue was delighted to find that her brother's progress in all aspects was really amazing.

As a result, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but think of the two words Zhang Haocheng said before he left.

"Father, brother, Zhang Haocheng was here before you came back." Thinking of this, she did not delay any more. She said something about the guests who had just arrived at home: "I heard that he had just returned to the capital not long ago, so I thought of it.

I entered the palace to participate in the grand ceremony, but I was still too late to make it."

"Zhang Haocheng, why is he coming to our house at this time? Sister, is he pestering you? This brat..." Han Jing was a little angry at the moment. He always remembered that he broke off his sister's marriage.

He still harbors regrets about that incident, even though he knows that his sister doesn’t like Zhang Haocheng.

"Brother, it's not what you think. He has changed a lot this time when he came back, and he is much more open-minded. What you think will never happen."

Han Jiangxue smiled. Her brother's never-changing maintenance made her extremely satisfied. She smiled and took over the words: "He stopped by to see Wanru on his way back to Beijing. Wanru brought some for me and some

The things were delivered together. After talking about Wanru's current situation for a while, he left and did not stay here for a long time. Wanru was pregnant recently, and I would like to ask the Zhang family to come over to deliver things in a few days.

Come and bring me some gifts."

"Yeah, that's good. The relationship between our two families is no better than others. It would be best if you could live in harmony with each other in your whole life." Han Feng was not as dissatisfied with Zhang Haocheng as his son, and he heard that the children now

The unclear feelings between them have smoothed over, so naturally they are happy.

After hearing this, Han Jing did not say anything about Zhang Haocheng's fault. However, some impressions cannot be reversed at once. At most, it is just to give face to his sister, so as not to embarrass others when they meet in the future.

That’s it.

"One more thing, Zhang Haocheng said two very special words to me before he left. I thought about it for a long time, maybe he wanted to give us a subtle reminder."

Han Jiangxue quickly turned to the main topic without any further delay, and directly said Zhang Haocheng's words word for word: "He said that his father will be granted the title of marquis in the near future, and he also said that the Han family will have a family in the future.

If you have any important matters, you'd better go directly to Prince Mo's Mansion to discuss it."

After hearing these two words, the expression on Han Feng's face instantly darkened.

In fact, originally, for aristocratic families, whether to be granted a title or not did not mean much, but for the current situation faced by each family, the deeper meaning reflected by deliberately granting a title again is even more different.

"Did the Zhang family abandon the alliance and surrender?" Before Han Feng could say anything, Han Jing said bitterly: "I originally thought that only people like the Zheng family and the Wang family would be so spineless, but I didn't expect that the Zhang family would be so spineless.

Home is also soft! After so many years, it has been used by the royal family

They didn't even care about what they had gone through. Now the new emperor waved and ran over with his tail wagging. He immediately wanted to draw a clear line with us to avoid being implicated! It's a good thing that we still treat them as family friends. In my opinion

The Zhang family is not worthy at all!"

Han Feng's face was not very good-looking at first. After hearing Han Jing's words, he sighed: "Well, I have my own thoughts and plans. If I can take the initiative to say something in advance, it is worthy of the friendship between the two families.

"

After hearing what her father and brother said, Han Jiangxue was not in a hurry to say anything.

When she first heard Zhang Haocheng say these two sentences, her thoughts were the same as those of her father and brother now. However, later she felt that something was not quite right. She thought about it for a long time, and it was not until her father and brother came back that she figured it out.

Got some clues.

"Now the Three Kings and Four Families have basically existed in name only. The Zheng, Wang, and Zhang families have all surrendered to the emperor regardless of their past grudges. The Luo family is basically gone. The Meng family alone wants to rebel in the Western Desert. In the end, only our Han family and the Mo family are left.

Trapped in this capital city!"

Han Jing's tone seemed a little tragic for the first time, but then he looked at Han Feng and asked directly: "Father, if the emperor comes to win over you and the Han family, will you compromise for the sake of the stability in front of you?"

At present, the most urgent things that the new emperor has to deal with are the Meng family and the Mo family, which the royal family has always regarded as hidden dangers that must be eliminated. The rest can be put aside for the time being to appease them. Li Qing completely understands the current situation.

Understand the situation, understand the priorities, know the choices, and don't have the huge appetite like the late emperor who is looking for trouble.

Because of this, with the madness before the Supreme Emperor abdicated and Li Qing's current response, the situation that was about to collapse has slowly eased.

But all this is not a good thing for the Han family. They are slowly being isolated, which is equivalent to being roasted on the front fire rack!

Han Feng knew what his son meant, but he shook his head and denied it without thinking too much.

The Han family is different from the Zheng, Wang, and Zhang families. The relationship between the Han family and the royal family is not about who retreats but who tolerates it. Whoever gives up some principles can gain temporary peace.

In addition to the interests carried by the family, the Han family also has an unforgettable feud with the royal family!

The two children now only know that their mother's death was caused by the royal family's conspiracy, but they don't know that the same is true for their grandparents who died too early! When the Liu family's true identity is revealed, a series of murders in the Han family over the years are revealed.

After that, only Han Feng remembered what happened back then, and that the death of his own parents was also related to the conspiracy of the current emperor.

With his parents, his first wife, and a daughter who was taught evil and killed by Mrs. Liu, how could Han Feng pretend that nothing had happened and humbly join forces with his enemies?

What's more, unless he doesn't marry Xue'er to Mo Li, and sends the child to the palace that eats people without spitting out bones to marry the current emperor, otherwise, the Han family will never have any hope of temporary stability.

Seeing the determination on his father's face, the tragic look on Han Jing's face couldn't help but dissipate, and he showed an equally determined smile. For Han Jing, his mother's death cannot be forgotten, and his sister cannot become Han Jing in her lifetime.

A bargaining chip for the exchange of interests between the family and the royal family!

"Father, brother, in my opinion, the Zhang family may not have really chosen to be associated with the royal family again!"

At this time, Han Jiangxue no longer concealed anything and spoke out her thoughts: "Obviously, there should be some so-called deal between the Zhang family and the emperor, and this matter is quite hidden. We, even Lian Moli

I didn't get any news in advance.

But at this time, Zhang Haocheng deliberately revealed the matter to us in advance, and even secretly warned us not to go to the Zhang family to discuss anything important in the future. I think this was more than just wanting to draw a clear line with us.

Maybe it’s also for our safety!”

Han Jiangxue remembered what happened when Prince Luo's Mansion was bloodbathed. At that time, the attitude of the Zhang family was a bit strange. Later, Mo Libu went there secretly in person, but did not mention it again after he came back.

From this point of view, Li Qing has been in contact with the Zhang family since that time, and after Li Qing came to power, the Zhang family made other choices for some unavoidable reasons.

Things may not be as simple as they appear on the surface, so Han Jiangxue did not merge the Zhang family with the Zheng and Wang families so quickly.

"So what if this is the case, anyway..." Han Jing still snorted with great dissatisfaction, and then said: "In short, we will not work together if we are different in the future!"

Han Feng did not express any disagreement with Han Jing's words this time. He just sighed slightly, with a bit of helplessness on his face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it.
