"Miss, please stop talking. This is what the Lord wants." Xie Ji whispered.
She was just a servant. It didn't mean that the matchmaker was marrying her, and Sun Quan didn't even give her a title. After giving birth to a child, it is also reasonable for him to give it to his wife to raise.
But as a woman, Xie Ji once had some fantasies. As the saying goes, mother is more valuable than son, maybe she is just a servant, but if she can give birth to a son for the Sun family, Xie Ji is still qualified to join the Sun family.
However, at this moment, everything was shattered!
It is absolutely impossible to say that she is not sad. Even if she did not talk about these things, as a mother, Xie Ji would never give her child to anyone else.
"No! It's Yuan Yuan's problem that she can't give birth to a son. Why should she snatch other people's children? How can she bully people like this!" Sun Shangxiang said angrily, "Not to mention that the second brother is not here now, even if he comes back, I will too This is what you mean! My Sun family has never had such rules!"
"Miss, forget it." Xie Ji gently pulled Sun Shangxiang, "I know you want to help me, but the master must have his own agenda for doing this. Miss, don't affect the relationship between your brother and sister because of me."
"We, brother and sister, always have something to say! In short, as long as I am here, no one can take this child away. I can't swallow this breath!" Sun Shangxiang exclaimed.
the other side,
"Diao Chan, you'd better leave this matter alone." Yuan Yuan said to Diao Chan.
"It's not me who interferes, it's Zhongmou's intention." Diao Chan emphasized.
"I accept his wishes. You are a smart person, can't you see that? I am no longer qualified to occupy this position." Yuan Yuan sighed lightly. The higher Sun Quan's status, the less worthy she is of Sun Quan. This has nothing to do with talent and virtue, only family background.
"You should give Zhongmou some confidence, he doesn't care about this." Diao Chan said, "After all, he has the final say about Jiangdong and the Sun family."
"No, he cares about too many things, so what he says doesn't count." Yuan Yuan shook her head, "You are not from a noble family, there are some things you don't understand."
Even if you are an emperor, you can't just establish a queen according to your own ideas.
From a man's perspective, she, Yuan Yuan, is the daughter of a traitor. To put it mildly, she will be exterminated by the nine tribes. From the perspective of the Sun family, Yuan Yuan is a member of the Yuan family. All her relatives have defected to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Yuan is naturally suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
Yes, Yuan Yuan admitted that Sun Quan was a good person, and Sun Quan believed in her and didn't care about this. But what about the Sun family? What about the ministers in Jiangdong?
Diao Chan has never really stayed in the Sun family. She doesn't know how coldly Yuan Yuan has been received in the Sun family. No one in the Sun family wanted to see her. Not only the outspoken Sun Shangxiang, but also the extremely wealthy Mrs. Wu. Therefore, Yuan Yuan knew very well that the Sun family would never give her an important heir to raise, and she would not even have the slightest illusion!
"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me. You are not helping me, you are harming me." Yuan Yuan rejected Diao Chan from then on.

Outside Xudu City,
Sun Quan naturally did not expect that he would encounter many obstacles in his own home if he made a casual arrangement. Of course, at this time, Sun Quan had no intention of paying attention to this.
"Lord! What a joy! What a joy!" That day Qiao Xuan came to see Sun Quan.
"What happy event? Could it be that Xu Du opened the door and surrendered?" Sun Quan asked.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said excitedly,
"Although we are not successful, we are not far off. My lord, there is news just coming from Xudu City. Currently, Xudu has secretly established an alliance of relatives and grandsons. The members of the alliance have been trying to find ways to leave the city and join us. Now they have found Find a way. If nothing else happens, they will break through the city gate and break out in the next two days!"
"Leave the city to join us?" Sun Quan frowned, "Why do you think there's something wrong with that?"
Sun Quan knew that Xun Yu was guarding Xudu in Cao's camp. Based on Sun Quan's understanding of Xun Yu, Xun Yu would not easily make mistakes.
"My lord, people in Xudu City have long been in panic. We surrounded the city for a month. Isn't it surprising that such a result occurred?" Qiao Xuan couldn't help but say.
"Tell me first, who are the members of this so-called pro-grandson alliance." Sun Quan asked.
Then, Qiao Xuan reported a series of names to Sun Quan. Many of them were names that Sun Quan had heard of. There were mostly middle-level people among them, and there were even a few high-level people in Cao's camp. At first glance, it sounds like exciting news. only,
"Don't be too happy too early. As far as I know, most of them are civil servants, right? There are occasionally military commanders, but they don't have any real power." Sun Quan said.
"My lord, you also know that Cao Cao controls the army very strictly, and the people in charge of the army are basically his cronies. It's quite good to have these." Qiao Xuan smiled bitterly, such great news, but Sun Quan didn't like it. What do you think this is?
"I'm not throwing cold water on you. First of all, Emperor Xian is not even mentioned here. There are so many civil servants with high-ranking officials and generous salaries. They could run away if they had the chance. How come they didn't even think of taking Emperor Xian with them?" Sun Quan asked.
"The palace is heavily guarded. I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Qiao Xuan speculated.
"That's right." Sun Quan nodded, "The imperial palace is heavily guarded, making this group of people powerless even if they have the intention. So, why is the city gate suddenly not heavily guarded? Let them think there is an opportunity? If I guessed it correctly? Wrong, this so-called loophole was deliberately released by Xun Yu!"
"My lord, you can't rule out that a certain city guard has defected, right?" Qiao Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Sun Quan shook his head,
"If the city guards really defect, they won't just surrender the city to me, they will directly sacrifice the city gate for me!" Sun Quan said.
Qiao Xuan's expression changed,
"So, this list is fake? Is this a trick by Xun Yu to surrender?!"
"No, most of the list should be true. We don't rule out that there will be a few undercover agents hiding in it." Sun Quan said, "After all, we have been closing the city for more than a month, and the capitulation faction in Xudu City must be ready to move. Continue. If we go down, even Xun Yu will not be able to withstand the pressure. If my guess is correct, Xun Yu is a strong man who cuts off his wrists and cuts his flesh to treat poison!"
"My lord, you mean..."
"Yes, Xun Yu deliberately created a loophole to allow the ministers in the city who were close to Jiangdong to find an opportunity to leave the city. As a result, these ministers only wanted to sneak out of the city, and no one went against Xun Yu. Waiting for such a group of people After leaving Xudu, on the surface, the internal strength of Xudu has been weakened. In fact, the few people left are insignificant people. But without this group of people, all the remaining people are determined to stick to it, and everyone is united. , the morale is even stronger." Sun Quan said, having to admit that this Xun Yu is indeed a capable man.
"My lord is wise! Otherwise I almost fell into the trap." Qiao Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, "Then what should we do now? It's hard to refuse when someone comes to seek refuge with us, right?"
