Chapter 1206 Looking for Dashun, looking for a lifeline
Fang Jinse shook his head helplessly and said to Yue Xin: "How is that possible?"
"Then why..."
"Do you think that when he says he wants to set us free, he will really set us free? Let me tell you, as long as we show the slightest emotion of being happy about freedom, our families will immediately be in extreme danger. He
The reason why I say that is just to test. If our hearts are tied to our adoptive parents, how can we help them wholeheartedly? Yue Xin, you used to understand better than me, but now I am soberer than you. This palace teaches
He taught me many things, such as dealing with Duanmu Anguo. Remember, no matter what happens or what he says, never show your closeness to your family in front of him. Just like I am today and always will be."
Yue Xin took a breath of cold air and suddenly realized that she was too careless. Just like Fang Jinse said, she could see more clearly in the past. How could she have lost her mind after entering the palace? It was so dangerous today, only a little bit.
Flaws were about to be found, or... her performance had already been found. The reason why Duanmu Anguo didn't touch her was because he expected her to help Fang Jinse hide him. If not, she would still be of use.
Yue Xin believed that Duanmu Anguo would kill her immediately with his viciousness, and he would never show mercy because she was of his own blood.
She sighed and said: "At first, he asked me to follow you so that he could monitor you, but now I am dragging you down. Miss" She looked at Fang Jinse and said calmly: "If one day I let you
If you are in trouble, or because my existence affects the survival of you and your family, then kill me and never block your own way."
Fang Jinse frowned and looked at her: "Why do you say that? Just because of your performance just now? Yuexin, you are a smart girl. If you are not good once, it does not mean that it will not be good next time. I believe in you, and you must also believe in me. We have to work together.
Whether we can survive this difficult time depends on our wisdom and luck."
Yuexin nodded, but suddenly felt suspicious, and asked Fang Jinse in a low voice: "Miss, have you ever thought about whether we are the daughters of Duanmu Anguo? We have always said what they say, but what if we are not?"
Fang Jinse smiled bitterly, "So what if I don't? He still arrested our family members as a threat and asked us to do things for him. Does this have anything to do with whether we are daughters or not? He didn't regard us as relatives to begin with, but
It's just a use. I hope that after the use is over, we can still save one life and save the lives of our loved ones. Now" her face turned cold, she took a deep breath and said: "We can't always be passive and want to survive.
, you can't completely count on others' charity, you have to fight for yourself opportunities. In addition..." She pursed her lips, "This palace also taught me that if you just get beaten blindly, you are a fool, and smart people should learn to take advantage of opportunities.
, jumped up and bit him back. Yue Xin, let’s go and pay our respects to the Queen.”
Since Fang Jinse helped the queen with Concubine Wu last time, the relationship between the two has become much better. Originally, Chun Yuqing was very concerned about the concubine who threatened her. Although she did not love Li Jian,
But the position of the queen is unshakable. She must clear all obstacles for herself and her future children, and must not allow the so-called favorite concubine to have a chance to stand up. Therefore, she tried her best to suppress Concubine Wu, and was always wary of other concubines getting pregnant.
sign.
But when it was Fang Jinse's turn, the situation had changed a lot. It wasn't that Chun Yuqing didn't want to fight, but that she had seen that Zong Sui was about to run out of energy and the country was about to be lost, so why did she continue to fight? So,
Fang Jinse caught up with the good times and was able to become friends with Chun Yuqing, and they were able to put aside all their grudges.
She came to the queen this time mainly to ask if she could use Chun Yuqing's power to protect her family. After all, Duanmu Anguo was on Zong Sui's territory, and he was right about what he said, he was so thin
A camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Zong Sui is going to be finished, it won't be done immediately. Can a country that has been established for hundreds of years, with the power of the royal family and the power of the Chunyu family, still be unable to deal with Duanmu Anguo?
Of course, she would never tell the queen that Duanmu Anguo was in the palace now. Until she could not guarantee the absolute safety of her family, she had to keep the news about Duanmu Anguo secret.
Fang Jinse spoke very cryptically, only mentioning that his family was not safe outside and hoped to get help from the queen. But what about Chun Yuqing? In the past, he could chat with Fang Jinse a few times, and the two of them even went to the garden together several times.
, this time she was absent-minded. She occasionally nodded to what Fang Jinse said, and occasionally said "yes", but she did not express her position. Even when Fang Jinse called her, she was lost in thought and did not answer.
Fang Jinse's heart felt a little cold. She wasn't sure whether Chun Yuqing didn't want to help her or was in trouble herself. She felt that Chun Yuqing seemed to be thinking all the time, but she didn't know what he was thinking about.
Helpless, after saying so many words, the queen didn't respond. Fang Jinse couldn't stay any longer, so she got up and left. Chun Yuqing's maid Ruohong came out to see off the guests. Fang Jinse thought for a while and asked Na Ruohong: "What is the queen?
What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell? If you feel unwell, you can ask an imperial doctor to come and take a look. You can't be careless."
Ruohong quickly apologized with a smile on her face and said: "My lord, please don't take it to heart. It's not that our empress is not feeling well. It's just that the emperor came here before. The two of them had a few quarrels. It's probably because the pent-up anger hasn't gone away. My lord, thank you."
Maybe it will be better if I come back in a few days."
"Oh." Fang Jinse nodded. She really wanted to ask Chun Yuqing why she was quarreling with the emperor, but she had always been known as a person of few words in the palace. If she continued to ask questions, she would ruin her image. So she
He just nodded and left with a happy heart.
It wasn't until he walked out of the middle palace that he sighed quietly, "It seems that we can't count on this queen. We have to think about other queens."
"Other? Queen?" Yue Xin was stunned, and then she seemed to think of something, and asked in a low voice: "The lady is talking about the Queen of Dashun? I heard that she is also the child of Duanmu Anguo, and among all the daughters sent out by Duanmu Anguo,
The most promising one."
"Yes!" Fang Jinse looked up at the sky, "It is said that the queen is no longer under the control of Duanmu Anguo. Emperor Dashun does not mind her identity, and her mother clan is strong enough to compete with Duanmu Anguo's power, so
, she is lucky."
"She must have done very, very well in Dashun." Yue Xin said, "She must have put in a lot of effort to make Emperor Dashun not mind her identity. Emperor Dashun must be very fond of her, right?"
"Love?" Fang Jinse shook his head, "What kind of love do you love! The Emperor of Dashun has only truly loved one person in his life, that is, the biological mother of the ninth prince who massacred Jiancheng. I heard that for that woman, he could stay for more than twenty years.
Neither enters the harem nor touches any women. The relationship between him and the queen is just a good cooperative relationship. But don’t underestimate this cooperative relationship. It can last longer than pampering, and you can maintain this relationship forever.
The excellence of that queen can be imagined. She is a qualified queen, and she has climbed to the highest point of women's power in the world, so Duanmu Anguo has nothing to do with her." Fang Jinse once thought about emulating Queen Dashun, but until
After entering the palace, I realized that it was too difficult. I finally managed to get some clues, but Zong Sui was teetering on the edge of this turmoil.
Chun Yuqing couldn't count on it. Maybe there was another way out. Fang Jinse thought that Duanmu Anguo was now in her hands. Although it was a threat to her, from another perspective, she could also become a hostage. But the hostage could not be given to her.
Zong Sui, she has to be left with Dashun. She must rely on this hostage to protect herself and her family. Maybe Dashun can help her.
"Yue Xin." Fang Jinse spoke in a low voice, "Pay attention to the movements on the other side of Dashun, and try every means to contact the ninth prince of Dashun. But be careful, you must avoid Duanmu Anguo's eyes and ears. The palace where I live is
It’s not safe. Who knows who is his spy. In short, we have to be careful. Whether we can avoid this disaster depends on us."
Zong Sui's heart was in panic, and the palace and harem were not peaceful. Everyone was thinking about the way out. No one thought that under Li Jian's governance, Zong Sui could still find a chance of survival in Dashun's hands.
However, they never expected that Dashun's offensive would come so quickly and fiercely. Before the first month of the year, the news of the fall of Gancheng was rushed back to Kyoto by Babaili; half a month later, Licheng fell;
But on the 10th, it’s Wei City again.
Xuan Tianming's army advanced towards Zong Sui's capital at an astonishing speed, almost conquering a city in less than ten days, and sometimes even two cities in five days. Zong Sui's courtiers all said that Dashun
Crazy, they seem to be in a hurry to capture Zong Sui. Why are they so anxious after the new year is over? Are they in a hurry to go back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?
There are still people who understand after all. Chun Yuan explained people's doubts: "I heard that the seventh prince of Dashun died outside the west gate of Tongcheng and was killed by Duanmu Anguo's sky thunder. This incident should have angered the ninth prince.
, they are anxious to come to the capital to settle accounts with our great new emperor."
People agreed with Chun Yuan's words, but at this time, Chun Yuan's words had begun to be ridiculed by people. Some people said: "The analysis is very thoughtful, but at the beginning, the old general Chun Yuan was so focused on pushing Li Jian to the position, and it was also
For what purpose?"
Someone immediately answered: "It's not for his daughter. The third daughter of his family married Li Jian as his concubine. If Li Jian becomes the emperor, his daughter will be the queen. The Chunyu family not only holds 80% of Zong Sui's
Military power, and having a daughter who is a queen, what an honor that must be? You can hold the emperor hostage."
"Yes! If we remember correctly, Old General Chunyu worked with Duanmu Anguo to put Li Jian on the throne, right? Speaking of which, Old General Chunyu also contributed to Duanmu Anguo being able to gain Li Jian's trust.
Of course, you even married your second daughter to another Dashun general. Can you tell me whether the Chunyu family is also responsible for Zong Sui's current situation?"
