471. Intention to win over
"Miss---"
The maids who served Zhu Ninghua were all trustworthy people. Naturally, they knew that Wen Ranying was the real Zhu Ninghua. King An's attitude was obviously wrong, and they couldn't help but think about some things.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Zhu Ninghua was not a fool. Naturally, he could sense that there was something wrong with Wang An's attitude. However, it was not good to talk about these things on the street, so Zhu Ninghua asked people to go back and talk about it later.
******
"Mom, is dad here?"
Her mother didn't know anything about the affairs in the court even in the backyard. Zhu Ninghua wanted to ask her biological father if he knew something about Prince An, so that he could infer Prince An's intentions.
"I'm doing business in the study."
When Wei Yajun saw Zhu Ninghua's panicked look, he thought something had gone wrong and asked anxiously.
"What's wrong? Did something happen at the palace banquet?"
Wei Yajun asked worriedly, "It shouldn't be. Didn't she already ask the Queen to help take care of Ninghua, and Qingzhi is here, so it shouldn't happen. Is it possible that there is something wrong here?"
"No, it's not about the palace banquet."
Knowing that his attitude scared his mother, Zhu Ninghua quickly explained, "I met Du Xinghuai on the way back. Fortunately, I proved my innocence. Now no one in the capital will associate me with the previous Zhu Ninghua."
Already."
"It's just that---after Du Xinghuai knew it was not "Zhu Ninghua", he lost control of his emotions and almost hurt me. At that time, King An happened to appear and rescued me, but I always felt that King An must have something up his sleeve."
Zhu Ninghua grew up in this capital city, so naturally she has a certain understanding of King An.
Although she looks honest and loyal, few can compare to her when it comes to cruelty and ruthlessness. It is because of this that King An's attitude towards her is too strange. Zhu Ninghua is a little worried about what King An is planning.
Not small.
"As a woman, I don't know much about the affairs of the court. I'll ask your father when he comes back later."
Wei Yajun was living in the back house, so it was impossible for him to know what was going on in the court. Zhu Ninghua could only ask her questions when her husband-in-law came back.
"What do you want to ask me?"
When Zhu Kangtai came back, he heard his wife say that he wanted to ask her something, and he immediately asked in confusion.
"My daughter has seen her father-"
After Zhu Ninghua performed a Wanfu salute, she stood up and told Zhu Kangtai what she had just said to Wei Yajun.
"...Although King An helped me, I still feel that King An has some agenda, so I feel a little uneasy."
After Zhu Ninghua explained the whole story clearly, she expressed her suspicions.
"Your suspicion was right."
After what happened to Du Xinghuai, Zhu Kangtai realized that sometimes, being overprotective is not a good thing. After all, no one can stay with the other person for a lifetime.
Parents are like this, husband-in-law is like this, and so are children.
Only when you are strong can you face all dangers.
After Zhu Kangtai's incident with Du Xinghuai, he no longer had the same all-round protective mentality towards Zhu Ninghua as before. It was better to explain some things clearly to avoid Ninghua getting hurt again.
"The emperor is getting older. Although he is now strong and strong, the prince below is also gradually growing up. There is only one throne. Who in the royal family can not have one or two thoughts?"
Zhu Kangtai also knew why King An helped Ninghua, but he didn't understand. In the eyes of outsiders, Ninghua was just his adopted daughter. If he really wanted to win over him, why not go to someone with blood relations at home?
girl?
Is it possible?
King An already knows Ninghua’s true identity!!
No, it's impossible.
Zhu Kangtai himself denied this answer. After all, if King An really knew Ninghua's true identity, how could he let Ninghua come back so easily?
If he knew it, he would definitely use this secret to threaten him and achieve his goal.
"The princes under the emperor's knees. Although the eldest prince is the eldest, he is not very interested in the throne. Moreover, due to birth issues, he cannot ascend to the throne without the support of a strong family."
"So, the matter of the throne has always been a battle between the third prince, Que Jinyu, and King An."
"The third prince did not go to court before, so he did not show his abilities. Therefore, the court has always been dominated by Prince An's family."
"After the third prince entered the court the year before last and began to show his abilities, many people chose him. Although Prince An had more time than the third prince, it was difficult for him to be recognized by his subordinates because of his ruthless nature.
At this point, I have always been inferior to the Third Prince."
"The two have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. Years ago, after the emperor revealed his intention to abdicate, the two princes fought even more fiercely."
Every time there is a change of dynasty, isn’t there a bloody lesson?
If a general achieves the goal of killing thousands of people, let alone the position of the Lord of the World, this battle will only become more intense.
"Then what does the emperor mean?"
Zhu Ninghua didn't know these things, so when she heard her father act like this, she asked with some doubts.
"Obviously, the emperor is not partial to anyone, but I have noticed that among the third prince's people, many of them are the emperor's confidants. Their every move, without the emperor's acquiescence, would not be possible with the three princes.
The princes walk together."
"From this point of view, the possibility of the third prince is even higher."
"It's just that this matter has not been made public after all, so it cannot be concluded for the time being."
"It can only be said that the third prince is a direct descendant. Although his personality is not gentle and helpful, he has a moderate amount of rewards and punishments. From this point of view, the third prince is more suitable."
"Wang An is approaching you, maybe because he wants to win over the Zhu family through you. Ninghua, try to avoid going out in the recent period, so as not to let others find opportunities."
At this time, the more important it is to protect oneself wisely.
The Zhu family is different from other families. They have been generals for generations and hold military power in their hands. They themselves are wary of the royal family.
If you rashly participate in the struggle for imperial power, it would be better if you win. If you lose, wouldn't this big family give the royal family an excuse to kill everyone?
At this time, hide as far as you can.
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter knows."
