Sun Shurong had known for a long time that her brother was not her biological child, and the condition for her father to help him find a job was that he would marry her as his queen.
But in fact, she has no personal relationship with this brother and does not want to marry him.
But now she has someone she wants to marry.
The Sun family's 50,000 private soldiers would have no chance of winning against the imperial court. Now that her brother Sun Shangwei is dead, the matter is a foregone conclusion, so it is better to find another way out.
She took a deep breath and advised: "Dad, my brother is dead, even if we kill the regent, our Sun family will not be able to win against the court.
The regent has just promised that as long as we surrender to the imperial court, the benefits of our Sun family will be indispensable. Since there is a shortcut, why should we take that wrong path?"
Sun Chengyu said: "How can the regent's words be trusted? What if after we surrender, the regent wants to get rid of us?"
Sun Shurong raised her eyebrows: "There are naturally conditions for us to surrender to the imperial court."
She took Sun Chengyu's arm and said, "Dad, don't you want me to be the queen? Then we'll ask the regent for the queen's position. What do you think?"
Sun Chengyu was stunned for a moment, then understood what his daughter meant. He looked at her and asked, "Are you attracted to the regent? But you also saw that he already has a princess and she is pregnant."
Sun Shurong looked a little disdainful: "So what? Dad, don't forget that the regent has not yet ascended the throne, nor has he established a queen. It is not certain who will be the queen."
Sun Chengyu frowned. Isn't his purpose of supporting Sun Shangwei for so many years just to make his daughter a queen?
Since the regent wanted them to surrender, he should show some sincerity.
Furthermore, the Prince Regent is indeed a rare talent.
Sun Chengyu made a decision after weighing the situation: "Okay, then use the position of queen in exchange for our Sun family to submit to the imperial court."
Sun Shurong's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed: "Thank you, dad."
Sun Chengyu said: "Don't be too happy too early. Whether the regent will agree or not is another matter. Even if he agrees, you have to win his heart, otherwise your position as queen will be empty.
Don't forget your cousin, she just can't seduce the regent, and in the end the whole Meng family will be killed.
As long as you can win the heart of the regent, your position will be stronger than any forced threats, do you understand?"
Sun Shurong's heart trembled, and she responded: "Don't worry, dad. With your daughter's beauty, are you worried about not being able to win the heart of the regent?"
Sun Chengyu looked at his daughter. Her daughter's appearance was somewhat better than Meng Hongshuang's.
As long as his daughter can win the favor of the regent, then the future of their Sun family will be saved.
...
Mu Yun'an and others were taken to the wing to rest, and the servants did not treat them harshly. They were given delicious food and drinks, but they were not allowed to move around at will.
Looking at the table full of food, Mu Yun'an had no appetite. Although Sun Shangwei was dead, the choice of the Sun family was very important, as they were afraid that they would be killed.
There will definitely be a killing by then, and she can't help Xiao Chengyi like this, but will cause him trouble.
When Xiao Chengyi saw her not moving her chopsticks, he knew that he was thinking wildly again. He reached out to hold your hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Yun'an shook his head: "I just think it's too embarrassing for us to be imprisoned here."
What kind of wind and rain have they not seen along the way? But being imprisoned here with no room for action is the first time.
