Xie Wanruo's words and eyes shocked Prime Minister Xie.
After a moment of silence to confirm that Xie Wanruo was serious, Prime Minister Xie said calmly: "Confrontation is difficult, but destruction is easier said than done."
Although he held a high position and had a certain influence in the court, it was not enough to destroy the Cao family.
Xie Wanruo said: "It is indeed difficult to rely on the strength of the Xie family alone, but we can cooperate with others."
In addition to the Xie family, the Cao family also has strong enemies.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yu Zheng must be extremely angry with the Cao family over this matter, so why don't they join forces at this moment.
Prime Minister Xie, who was at the top of the court, instantly understood what Xie Wanruo meant and was horrified.
He didn't expect Xie Wanruo to have such a bold idea.
"This...if we join forces with King Jing to overthrow the Cao family, King Jing will become even more powerful in the future, which will be very detrimental to His Highness." Prime Minister Xie was shocked and frightened.
Fishing when the lake is exhausted and drinking from a dove to quench thirst is not a good strategy.
Prime Minister Xie was worried: "And if His Highness knew that we were joining forces with King Jing to deal with the Cao family, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree. After all, it's his mother's family."
If the Cao family is overthrown, it will be difficult for the queen to die well. With Yu Cheng's benevolence and filial piety, he will never disregard the love between mother and son.
Excessive kindness means indecision and many constraints.
"So we can't let him know." Xie Wanruo's eyes were firm and her words were simple.
Prime Minister Xie frowned deeply: "After all, paper can't cover up the fire. The day the Cao family loses, he will always know it, and he will definitely be resentful of you, and the husband and wife will be separated."
Xie Wanruo's eyes turned cold: "So what? The Cao family can't tolerate the Xie family, and he can't protect our mother and son, so we're not allowed to resist?"
"Being kind and being bullied cannot fight back? There is no such truth in the world."
“How to repay kindness with evil?”
Xie Wanruo didn't ask Yu Haolin in front of Yu Cheng, even if she knew that Yu Cheng knew the truth, it was just a big thunderstorm and a small raindrop. Although she hated Cao Muxue in her heart, she wouldn't take it seriously because of the queen and that kind of family affection. How will she be.
She doesn't want this kind of maintenance that seems to be partial but is actually meaningless.
Looking at Xie Wanruo's face full of hatred and determination, Prime Minister Xie felt heartbroken, and finally asked: "Have you ever thought that without the Cao family, His Highness might not be able to reach a high position."
This is the biggest concern in Prime Minister Xie's heart.
Xie Wanruo snorted coldly and said nonchalantly: "So what if I got a high position through the Cao family? Are you going to be a puppet at the mercy of others, holding the memorial tablet of our mother and son and regret it?"
She couldn't bear such deep love.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Wanruo added: "Your Highness is upright, and King Jing is equally wise. If you choose one of the two, King Jing is more tolerant than the Cao family."
Prime Minister Xie was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xie Wanruo could see so clearly and the pattern was so big.
If she were a man, she would definitely have a place in the court and accomplish a lot. It's a pity that she turned into a daughter and was trapped in this deep palace to spend her time in vain.
After thinking for a long time, Prime Minister Xie said: "You are right. I will discuss it with your eldest brother after we go back. If we want to join forces, we must hit the target with one strike, so that the Cao family will never be able to overturn the ground."
As a daughter, she could have such foresight and wisdom, so how could they, as father and brother, disappoint her?
If there is no smooth road left or right, then simply burn the boat and get a chance to survive.
"Thank you father and brother." Xie Wanruo expressed her heartfelt thanks.
Although she has breasts, she is trapped in this harem and can do nothing but rely on her father and brother.
"The family shares weal and woe. There is no need to say thank you. Take good care of yourself." Prime Minister Xie patted Xie Wanruo's hand and warned her with sincerity.
This is the daughter he holds in his hands, caressing and looking forward to raising in every possible way. Now that he was bullied like this, his heart ached like a knife.
However, when a woman marries, she obeys her husband, and the one she marries is a prince. Even if he has the will to do many things, he is unable to do so.
Before getting up and leaving, Prime Minister Xie asked hesitantly: "Have you ever regretted entering the palace?"
When Xie Wanruo was carried away by love and wanted to enter the East Palace as a concubine, her whole family opposed it, but she insisted on her own way and was unswerving.
Does she have any regrets now?
Suddenly hearing her father ask this question, Xie Wanruo was startled, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "The only way forward is tomorrow. Without yesterday, there is only the way forward in life, and there is no regret."
"If I don't enter the palace, I will marry another high-ranking family, and I will also have to face my mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and concubines, and fights in the inner house. How is it different from now?"
This world is unfair and the path for women is too narrow. No matter what choice you make, it will be the same.
Since they are all the same, why not choose the one you love and the one you respect?
Prime Minister Xie was speechless for a moment. He looked calmly at Xie Wanruo, who was weak and frail on the bed. He leaned back and said, "You are right."
The way the world is, it doesn't matter where you are.
After Prime Minister Xie left, Xie Wanruo lay on the bed and stared at the tent in trance.
Yu Cheng entered the room and sat down by the bed, grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Wanruo looked at him sideways and smiled softly: "I miss the lotus flowers at Mochou Lake in Nancheng."
When Yu Cheng heard this, he was startled.
Mochou Lake in Nancheng is their place of love.
Thirteen years ago, Yu Cheng visited Mochou Lake and accidentally saw Xie Wanruo leaning over to pick lotus flowers. The moment he looked back and smiled, Yu Cheng was astonished.
It's love at first sight.
Later, they fell in love and went on a trip to Mochou Lake to establish their love.
That time was the best memory of their lives.
There are no fights, no worries, no family interests, just two hearts that are in love.
Yu Cheng's heart was touched, he held Xie Wanruo's hand tightly and said, "Spring will start soon. When you get well, we will go to Mochou Lake to enjoy the lotus."
"Okay." Xie Wanruo responded warmly, holding Yu Cheng's hand and resting it against his cheek, lovingly relying on it.
Yu Cheng looked at her pale, fragile, yet charming appearance, and felt soft in his heart, feeling both distressed and guilty.
In Yu Cheng's eyes, Xie Wanruo is like an elegant white lotus, pliable, noble, and pitiful. She is the only light in his gloomy life.
Meeting Yu Cheng's affectionate eyes, Xie Wanruo frowned slightly and said, "Princess Jing is frightened. Your Highness, please send someone some apology gifts."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Don't think about anything. Just relax and take care of yourself." Yu Cheng stretched out his hand and smoothed Xie Wanruo's brow with warm fingers.
Looking at Yu Cheng's back as he stood up and left, Xie Wanruo's eyes were clear.
She still loves Yu Cheng, and it is precisely because of her deep love that she has to make a painful decision for him and clear away the haze.
She wanted him to live in the sunshine and stop being controlled by others.
The sun is shining brightly outside, making people feel warm all over.
When Yu Zheng returned home, Jiang Shu had already had breakfast and was sunbathing in the courtyard.
Seeing Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu asked him, "Husband, have you had your breakfast?"
"Well, I used some at my concubine's house." Yu Zheng stood beside her and asked her if she was feeling unwell.
Jiang Shu shook his head: "I'm fine. Husband, go change your clothes."
"Okay." Yu Zheng went into the house and changed into regular clothes. After coming out, he said, "I have to go out and be back before lunch."
Children forget things quickly, so they should ask questions quickly, otherwise they will not be able to ask anything as time goes by.
Xingmu blinked, and Jiang Shu said: "But to find those children from last night?"
Yu Zheng nodded.
Jiang Shu said clearly: "Husband, go quickly, I will wait for you to come back."
Jiang Shu is also very concerned about the truth of this matter.
