The reason why Prince Yan's Mansion was implicated is clear at a glance, that is, he helped the Queen Mother rebel in her previous life.
But because the Prince of Yan at that time had made great contributions to Yan Xiu in the Battle of Beiliang, and Zhu Siyi was his queen, the merits and demerits were balanced; therefore, he was only stripped of his title as Prince of Yan and regained his military power.
And Yan Xiu single-handedly preserved Zhu Yuancun's position as the heir apparent, and his benevolence and righteousness fully satisfied King Yan.
In this whirlpool, Yan Xing was the only one who managed to escape unscathed.
The rebellion and usurpation of the throne may happen again in this life, but the Yu family and Zhu Siying are still staying in Prince Yan's palace. We can't let Zhu Siying get married in a hurry, right?
And without King Yan's meritorious service in the Battle of Beiliang, when the Dongchuang incident happened, it would be inevitable...
With so many eyes staring at Zhu Sijia, the current situation is no better than before. Once there is any stain on her relatives, no matter how much Yan Xiu likes her, he may not be able to avoid demoting her status.
She can still climb up after her status is lowered, as long as she is not relegated to the cold palace; of course, it would be better to keep her status, and it is nothing more than waiting for her to recover her body, become pregnant and give birth to a child, and become the mother of the Crown Prince of Qin. Who dares to disrespect her? ?
Fortunately, Yuan Cun was able to make military exploits in this life. It didn't matter whether he could save the entire Prince Yan's Mansion, as long as he could save a few of them.
But I wish Scarlett would rather he be safe on the battlefield than to achieve astonishing military exploits.
Thinking of this, Zhu Scarlett came up with a bold idea.
Yuan Cun had openly surrendered to Yan Xiu, earned his title and military power, and had nothing to do with Prince Yan's palace; Zhu Sijia had already silently stated her position, and there was no need to worry about Yan Xiu doubting her.
If Yu and Zhu Siying are allowed to leave Prince Yan's Mansion, everything that Prince Yan's Mansion will be involved with in the future will naturally have nothing to do with the four of them.
But how to escape? This is another problem.
Could it be that Zhu Siying should also find ways to make a contribution?
In exchange for merit, she received a letter of resignation from the Yu family and Prince Yan, and a county principal's mansion so that she and the Yu family could have a place to stay after they moved out of Prince Yan's palace.
At present, this seems to be the most reliable method. If the news about the Queen Mother's rebellion is leaked to Yan Xiu in advance, he might be happy and grant any request of Zhu Sijia.
But we can't frame the Empress Dowager Zhang without any reason. We must first get evidence in hand before we can convince Yan Xiu.
Zhu Sijia continued to tell Zhu Siying: "Siying, you will continue to do three things for me after you return home. You believe me, once these three things are done, our family will no longer have any worries."
"When everything is settled, my sister will definitely find you the best son and husband in the world, and Shili Hongzhuang will let you marry him."
Zhu Siying is eager to do more of what Zhu Sijia told her. She has lived for more than ten years and has never been as prosperous as after Zhu Sijia entered the palace.
Zhu Siying still didn't know the importance of this, so she smiled and said: "Sister, please tell me."
Zhu Sijia: "First of all, regarding Miss Zhou and Marquis Guangping, the eldest sister also told you two not to play too much, otherwise it will easily lead to anger and may lead to beheading. You two will stop as soon as you get along. , don’t make a big fuss, is that clear?”
If there is too much movement, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the dragon guards; and once the matter is discovered, it will be a trivial matter to follow the clues and trace her.
"Second, when you return home, ask your mother whether she has the intention to reconcile with her father."
Zhu Siying opened her mouth wide: "Heli? How dare I ask this?"
After all, the Yu family is just a little concubine, how dare she want to reconcile with King Yan? What's more, has Mrs. Yu herself accepted her fate?
Zhu Siying was raised by the Yu family. How could she not know that the Yu family had no true feelings for King Yan?
But not having true feelings is one thing, and being willing to accept her fate or not is another thing. If Mrs. Yu already feels that she has no regrets in this life, no one can force her to do otherwise.
Zhu Sijia: "You just have to ask first. As long as my mother has even the slightest hint of this, even if she says she doesn't want to, you must tell me the truth."
"The third thing is, do you know the small teahouse opened by Sister Zhu Ya in Xijing? That teahouse is often visited by dignitaries, and they are the best at finding out the information."
"I will also tell the shopkeeper that from today on, you will be the third boss of the teahouse. Not only will you get money, but any important information you want to know will be revealed to you."
"You must also take advantage of the convenience and advantages of the teahouse to compile a record of the important people in Xijing in the past twenty years and hand it over to me in the palace. Among these important people, they can range from the Queen Mother to the fifth-rank officials in Beijing. understand?"
Twenty years is a long span of time. It is not easy to find out clearly the ups and downs of Xijing's politics in these twenty years, and even the personal preferences of each big shot.
There is no risk in inquiring about information, and everyone can do so; but the meaning of relaying this information to Zhu Sijia is completely different.
I wish Scarlett a good Zhaoyi, but if she doesn’t break the rules and take risks to do this, isn’t she afraid that Yan Xiu will find out and angrily accuse her of interfering in politics?
Zhu Siying's face showed fear: "Sister, it's not that I don't dare, but are you really not afraid? This is a serious crime that can put you in the cold palace."
Yan Xiu had a precedent of banning Zhu Sijia.
He could ban a woman he liked so much. If he wanted to make up for Zhu Sijia's emotions, he only needed to give her a sweet date after a slap in the face.
But once Zhu Scarlett's favor disappears, it means that both she and the Yu family are in danger.
Zhu Sijia: "No, how can this be a big deal? This is obviously because I want to familiarize myself with all the big and small matters that a queen should know in advance, so as not to offend all the adults by not being properly entertained at palace banquets, sacrifices and other large occasions in the future. Taboo, unintentionally causing trouble for His Majesty.”
It turns out that Zhu Sijia wants to be a queen!
Zhu Siying smiled happily: "Sister, I have to take the initiative to fight for it. That's right. The only way to survive in the harem is to go up. What's more, things are different from the past. It is impossible for the eldest sister to remain indifferent after entering the palace."
"When will my sister give birth to a little prince for His Majesty? I have wanted to be an aunt for a long time."
Zhu Sijia: "Don't worry, for now, as long as I take good care of myself, the Prince of Qin will only be born from my belly."
As long as Yan Xiu can promise never to touch another woman, it will only be a matter of time before she gives birth to her eldest son.
…
In Taiji Palace, Doctor Liu handed the secret incense to Yan Xiu:
"Your Majesty, this is the contraceptive incense developed by Weichen day and night. It is only for men. As long as you light this incense before each sexual intercourse, Zhaoyi does not need to take contraceptive pills afterwards, and it is difficult for her to become pregnant, but it will not hurt her. Female body.”
Yan Xiu came closer and took a sniff. The smell was refreshing, no worse than ambergris. He asked, "Is this fragrance harmful to a man's health?"
Doctor Liu smiled awkwardly and said: "If it hurts the man's body, how dare I present it to you?"
Yan Xiu laughed with satisfaction and said, "Okay, well done, big reward!"
With this fragrance, he doesn't have to worry about Scarlett getting pregnant prematurely.
