As of now, the basic outline of this matter has been found.
Concubine Liu fled the capital in a hurry on the night of the palace coup and disappeared without a trace. More than a year later, when King Zhao came to the capital, she planned a chance encounter to return to the palace.
But Xu Yin couldn't understand what Concubine Liu was doing when she returned to the palace. The late Emperor was dead, and Da Zhou was about to die. Even if she returned to the palace, she would just die of old age in another place. Although Concubine Zhao would not treat her badly,
But the flowers in the palace have nothing to do with a former concubine.
As for the events in her previous life, she felt that Princess Zhao's death had a lot to do with Concubine Liu. It so happened that Emperor You told Concubine Liu about Guanzhong, and it so happened that Concubine Zhao passed away during that time.
However, in the previous life, the Liu family was attached to Emperor You, and it was normal for Concubine Liu to be used by Emperor You. In this life, the false emperor is dead, so what is her plot against the Yan family?
Xu Yin couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he simply went home and asked his father.
After Xu Huan listened to her words, he caught another important point: "Wait a minute, why didn't you say before that their brothers would turn against each other?"
Xu Yin's eyes averted: "I, didn't I say that?"
"You only said that the Yan family won out later." Xu Huan was angry, "If you had said it earlier, I would not have accepted the marriage!"
Xu Yin lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Huan glanced at her: "Did you want to say it, but you knew your father wouldn't allow it, so you didn't say it?"
Xu Yin glanced at him quickly and smiled guiltily.
"You, you!" Xu Huan poked her forehead, "I thought it was you who was Yan Ertang. It turns out that you have already had your thoughts."
Xu Yin whispered: "I...I owe him."
Which one is this? Xu Huan frowned: "How many things have you hidden? You must explain it clearly to me today. If you can't explain it clearly, don't go back."
"Father, I'm looking for your advice..."
Xu Huan glanced at her and said nothing.
Xu Yin had no choice but to tell the details of his fate with Yan Er in his previous life.
Xu Huan originally had a cold face, but as she spoke, his expression melted little by little.
"That's all." He sighed, "We are already married, what else can we say?"
Xu Huan gathered his thoughts and said: "According to what you said, Mrs. Liu is a person who is not contentious on the surface, but actually loves power, is that true?"
Xu Yin responded: "In my dream, nothing happened to Concubine Shu and Concubine De, so she was always out of power, so she took refuge in King Duan early. Later, King Duan usurped the throne, and she relied on this merit to send her niece to the
As a concubine in the palace, she still enjoys glory and wealth."
"She will bet in advance. It seems that she is indeed a person who is greedy for power." Xu Huan knocked on the table, "Let's think about it this way. If such a person loses power, she will try her best to regain it."
"This is what I don't understand," Xu Yin frowned, "How can she regain her power if she goes back to be a concubine? In the dream, she was also a concubine, but with Liu Xi'er here, she could even intervene in palace affairs.
.What now? You can’t even get out of Taiyuan Palace!”
If King Zhao comes to power, she will have to avoid suspicion! Living in Taiyuan Palace will provide better conditions than Qingxiu.
Xu Huan suddenly asked: "Concubine Liu is only thirty-five or six, right? She has always been pampered, so she is still young and beautiful."
"..." Xu Yin gasped, "Father?"
Xu Huan said calmly: "For a woman like her who has been living in the harem, there is no faster way than this."
"But," Xu Yin's mind was a little confused, "she can't see King Zhao at all!"
Xu Huan sighed and said, "Ayin, my father thinks that you need to change your mind."
Xu Yin looked over in confusion.
"In your dream, she most likely harmed Princess Zhao to drive a wedge between the Yan brothers and to please Emperor You. But in the reality we are in, Emperor You is dead, so her reason for harming Princess Zhao no longer exists."
Xu Yin was stunned for a moment: "Father, are you saying that she might not harm Princess Zhao again?"
Xu Huan shook his head: "Didn't you check? She does have ill intentions towards Princess Zhao."
"That……"
"Being malicious and harming people's lives are two different things. Even if you harm people's lives at the same time, your motives may be completely different. Don't let things in your dreams stun you."
Xu Yin remained silent, his heated mind calming down little by little.
My father was right. The circumstances in her previous life were different from those in this life, so Concubine Liu's code of conduct was naturally different. Without Emperor You, she no longer needed to take orders from others, and everything she did was entirely based on her own interests.
What does Concubine Liu want? Power and position. Her father also said that for a person like her, the most convenient way is of course through nepotism. For example, in her previous life, she gave Liu Xier to Emperor You.
So, what can she do if she wants to get power from the Yan family? First, she herself, King Zhao, has an old relationship with her sister, and it is easy for her to use her sister's name to gain pity. When she returns to the palace, she will use
This method.
Secondly, Liu Xi'er, as Ms. Xie said, Liu Xi'er is not young, why hasn't she mentioned marriage?
Wait a minute, Mr. Xie took the initiative to bring it up. Could it be that he was thinking of this?
Xu Yin quickly told his father.
Xu Huan was dumbfounded: "Ayin, you've been out here for a long time, and you've finally become slow in matters concerning the back house."
"So, the sister-in-law suddenly mentioned Liu Xi'er's marriage just to rule out this possibility?" Xu Yin felt like she had a sudden realization. Why didn't she think of it?
Xu Huan suppressed a smile: "Most likely. Your eldest sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Xie family in Qi County. She has been nurtured by a century-old family since she was a child. She is naturally much better than our family in this regard."
Xu Yin didn't know what to say. He straightened his thoughts and was suddenly startled: "I thought of something."
"what else?"
"In my dream, Concubine Liu and Emperor You might have had an affair."
Xu Huan frowned slightly: "Huh?"
Xu Yin covered his chest, never expecting that after such a long time, he would see the truth that he had not discovered before: "You think, after Emperor You ascended the throne, Concubine Liu was the emperor's wife, and the age difference between them was only six or seven years. It stands to reason that
Should we avoid suspicion?"
Xu Huan thought about it for a moment: "I remember that the late emperor's concubines generally don't need to avoid suspicion unless they are over fifty."
"That's it. Although Concubine Liu doesn't appear often, she has always been free to enter and exit the palace. Even when Emperor You went out to escape the summer or cold, he would take Concubine Liu with him. Whenever this happened, she would live with Liu Xi'er.
One place. I remember that Emperor You often visited Liu Xier in his palace!"
The most important thing was that she remembered how she heard the conversation between Emperor You and Concubine Liu. The palace was a hot spring, and Emperor You and her sister went out in the middle of bathing, and she was about to avoid suspicion, so she stayed there.
Hit on the road.
Xu Yin let out a long breath: "Father, I understand."
Since Concubine Liu was able to commit herself to Emperor You, how could she not take advantage of King Zhao? In theory, although King Zhao was slightly older, he was much more heroic than Emperor You.
Plus Liu Xi'er, maybe she wants a double guarantee.
Xu Huan smiled and nodded: "As long as you understand." I don't think he will need to teach me what to do next.
