Hearing this, Liu Yueji was stunned and frightened.
Suddenly, the reason why she said that just now was that she knew that with Liu Qi's mind, he must have already had a solution.
I came to see myself today and brought such a heavy gift, so I must be asking for something.
However, it was not up to him to say how to help him. Step by step, Liu Qi would naturally tell his true thoughts.
What was shocking was that she never expected that the solution Liu Qi thought of was to find Prince Nasu Liu Yu!
"Yuan'er, you go down first. I have something to tell your brother Qi."
Chen Yuan didn't want to.
"Mother, what's the matter with you, why do you still insist..."
"Get down!"
To be honest, this was the first time that Chen Yuan saw her mother so serious.
Although he felt a little unhappy, he still nodded.
"Qi'er, you've finished your work and are coming to see Yuan'er."
After saying that, he reluctantly left.
Before it was over, after all the servants were arranged to leave, Liu Yueji continued to speak.
"Qi'er, do you know who Prince Su is?"
Liu Qi's answer was casual.
"Isn't he my imperial uncle? He is also the oldest elder in the clan. I seem to have seen him twice since I was a child."
"Once was at the funeral of my mother, and once was when I was crowned prince."
Liu Yueji nodded.
"Yes, but that's not what I want to say."
"I think you should know something about what happened during the late emperor's lifetime. At that time, several princes rebelled, and many members of the royal family died overnight."
"And your uncle is the only one among the seven princes who was lucky enough to survive."
"Since that incident, your uncle has never set foot in the court hall again."
"Although he has been responsible for many things in the clan since your father came to power, they are all insignificant."
"As the patriarch of the clan, I have known him for many years. This old man has never asked about political affairs. In fact, if anyone takes the initiative to talk to him, he will immediately lose his temper."
"It's not that my aunt doesn't want to help you. Although he has a distinguished status, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the capital of the clan. But if you want him to come forward and help you in the court, this matter is probably more difficult than when you fight against the Huns. Hundreds of times!"
Liu Qi smiled calmly.
"Auntie, my nephew understands what you said."
"However, with the current situation, the only person in the court who can make the courtiers fearful is my uncle Liu Yu. As long as he is willing to come forward, he will not be able to easily do anything to his nephew behind his back. "
Liu Yueji sighed softly when she heard this.
"Your idea is correct. No matter in terms of qualifications or status, I am afraid that besides your father, you are also your uncle. But this matter is difficult."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I heard that your subordinate Bai Qi, isn't his master the old general Leji? Why don't you let him come out of the mountain."
"If you can win over General Le, with his prestige, he can still speak for you in the court. And with his help, your position as prince will definitely be stable."
Liu Qi smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"Auntie doesn't know something."
"If General Le had wanted to return to the imperial court, he would have come here long ago. The purpose of sending Bai Qi to our Daqing this time is just to solve the troubles of the Xiongnu."
"Besides, even Bai Qi may not stay in Qingguo afterwards. How can Old General Le come back to this vortex? Not to mention me, I am afraid that even my father may not be able to persuade him Come out of the mountain."
Liu Yueji nodded and took a long breath.
"So that's it."
"Qi'er, let me tell you clearly. If you want your aunt to ask Prince Su to help you get involved in the court, it will definitely not happen."
"When the time comes, I'm afraid that as soon as my aunt finishes telling him, she will be scolded by him. I don't want to suffer from his bad temper. The key is, he will definitely not agree."
Liu Qi waved his hand.
"Auntie, what I want you to help me is not to explain it directly to Prince Su. I also know that he will definitely not be willing."
"As the clan leader, if you arrange for me to meet with him, you can still do it, right?"
Speaking of this, Liu Yueji's eyes looked a little confused.
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"Then why don't you go to him directly in person, and why do you want me to pull strings in the middle?"
Liu Qi responded immediately.
"Auntie, even though I share the same blood as the emperor's uncle, you also know that he can't be seen by just anyone."
"If I go directly there and pay a rash visit, given my current situation, he will definitely refuse to see me."
"But it's different with you. You are the patriarch of the clan. In the name of me joining the clan, you can allow me to meet the emperor's uncle face to face, and he will not be suspicious. The rest you only need to give me a Just a chance to be alone with him.”
Although Liu Qi is a member of the royal family, he has never participated in any affairs of the clan.
The reason is not complicated. In Liu Yueji's mind, she never thought that Liu Qi would be involved in the clan affairs.
Therefore, it is not necessary for him to know these clan members on formal occasions.
Anyway, if he becomes emperor one day, he will still have to deal with members of these clans.
Liu Yueji didn't say anything. Suddenly, she looked at Liu Qi with a solemn brow.
"Qi'er, does your father know about this?"
Liu Qi answered very simply.
It was this answer that made Liu Yueji's heart tremble.
"I don't know!"
"Liu Qi, you must know that Prince Su, although he had never participated in that matter during the reign of the late Emperor, but in terms of his status, even though he is now over 10 years old, he is still a very sensitive person. If your father knows about it, you know that the consequences will be very serious."
Liu Qi nodded.
Having said this, there is no need to hide anything.
"So, aunt, will you still help your nephew?"
Liu Yueji hesitated, not only hesitant but also a little scared.
This matter is too big. If his father knew that he took him privately, not to mention the meeting with the emperor's uncle, or because of government affairs, his father would definitely be dissatisfied.
Even because of this matter, it is very likely that he will be revoked as the clan leader.
Despite this position, it doesn't hold much weight.
But at least it can be guaranteed that after the emperor's death, she can still be respected by others.
Of course, if Chen Yuan can successfully become the imperial concubine, this will not matter.
Only now did Liu Yueji figure it out.
It turns out that Liu Qi was waiting for this moment every step of the way.
Now she could either take a gamble, help Liu Qi, and give him a helping hand. When he ascends to the throne one day, she will naturally get the status she deserves.
But if the bet is wrong, then Liu Yueji will probably be no different from an ordinary concubine.
There is no problem in living a peaceful life. But if you want to continue to be respected by others as you are now, that's unpredictable.
A child who is barely in his prime years old actually has such thoughts.
Although Liu Yueji had always seen Liu Qi's transformation, it was only now that she felt that she had underestimated him.
Liu Qi may have been making this move since he started contacting him.
Even all the things that happened later may have been for today's discussion.
Agreeing to it means that from now on, you will be tied to Liu Qi on the same line, and you will inevitably have to participate in more things.
But if he doesn't agree, then if he really becomes the emperor one day, how can he forget today?
So what, even if Liu Qi becomes the emperor, he won't do anything to her...
At this time, Liu Qi stood there watching and waiting quietly.
For him, at this point, isn't it just a gamble?
