The aunt's eyes slowly circled around the faces of His Highness, Ah Piao, Wu Shu Dan and A Rou, and finally returned to His Highness.
"Although I don't particularly want to, I have to admit that I was deceived and played by him."
"This is a fact. Not only we can see it clearly, but other people can also see it clearly."
"So what if you understand clearly? What can I do?" Seeing the sarcastic smile on A Piao's face, my aunt sighed softly, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's easier to get on a pirate ship than to get off a pirate ship."
"Then let's talk about how aunt got on this pirate ship first?"
"I have thought about it carefully in the past few days. From the first time he saw me, this child has been trying to get me on his ship." Auntie looked at His Highness and then at Ah Piao, "To tell you the truth, Said, the two of us had deep conversations several times, and this kid saw through me."
"Did he see his aunt's ambition?" Seeing that his aunt hesitated for a while and finally nodded, A Piao smiled faintly and turned to look at His Highness, "His Highness's judgment is indeed correct."
"Yes!" Seeing the confusion on his aunt's face, His Highness was in a good mood and explained casually, "Sister once said that that boy Aoki is not an ordinary person. He can see through people's hearts after a few contacts. Aunt, he talks to you frequently He has been in contact with you so many times, and your little thoughts have been seen through by him a long time ago."
"But he was still young at that time, and he was..."
"Being young is not an excuse, being young does not mean being short-sighted." Ah Piao curled her lips, "The older he gets, the more he slowly transfers his hatred for Prince Wanyan to the Wanyan family and the royal family. As for aunt, she is very ambitious and unwilling to accept that she is just a relative who cannot be put on the stage. She wants to control a certain amount of power. For His Highness Aoki, you are a very good knife."
"When you hear it, it is indeed like this." The aunt sighed, "At the beginning, I just mentioned that after saying that Yan Zongcheng was sorry for my sisters and my sisters' children, he did not consider the children at all and did not pave the way for the children. And so on. Perhaps, he heard some subtext from my complaints and made some plans specifically for me. As a result..." She sighed again, "The result is that I slowly fell into his trap. Even if you want to escape from the trap, you can't."
"When did aunt figure this out? After she was arrested?"
"I made such a big fuss because I wanted to get away. Unfortunately, it backfired."
"So aunt is making such a big fuss because she wants to escape?" A Piao glanced at His Highness, "It's really a good plan!"
"Xiao Piao is right. My aunt and these Japanese people spent so much effort to kidnap me. It turned out that she wanted to break up with that boy Aoki!" His Highness also had a sarcastic smile on his face, and he stabbed me straight. In the aunt's mind, "If Xiaopiao and Xiaohei hadn't rescued me in time and allowed aunt to successfully get me out, what were your plans? Use me in exchange for your freedom?"
"Don't say anything harsh, I..."
"Are these words unpleasant?" His Highness sneered again, "You have already done this, and you still care about my unpleasant words? Just say it directly, is this what we said?"
"That's... almost the same, but the one I want to break with is not His Highness Aoki, but the Japanese."
"Japanese? Japanese and you have not been friends for many years? Are you giving up just because you said you would give up?" His Highness raised his eyebrows, "Are you so decisive?"
"Ever since His Highness Aoki became very close to them, I have already had such a plan." The aunt sighed again, "What should I say? In total, I should have been deceived twice, right? Once by a Japanese, and again One time it was His Highness Aoki. As for the one who kidnapped you this time, it should be considered that they both plotted against me at the same time."
"Are they plotting against you?" Ah Piao snorted, "You and they probably hit it off and get what they want, right? You want to use this time to escape from their control, and they want to use you to get rid of theirs. They want you to do what they want. But after you do it, it’s not certain whether they can let you go.”
"Based on what we know about them, aunt, you can only draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain." His Highness looked at him calmly, "Even if you successfully kidnapped me and handed me over to them, you will not be able to escape." And retreat. You have too many things in their hands. They don’t use me to threaten you, but others to threaten you. Those are enough to ruin your reputation. So, if you want to break away from them, you can only..."
"Death makes one's ambition known." Ah Piao bared her teeth at her aunt, "Of course, even if you die, they will spread the word and say that you committed suicide out of fear of crime."
"Whether you're alive or dead, you're not out of their control, that's obvious."
"I have thought about what you are talking about in the past few days. What I thought before was too simple." Auntie sighed softly, looked at the young highness, and said, "Your mother and your sister have said that I If you play tricks with others and play tricks with others, you are no match for them at all. You will only be led by others, and you may even count the money for them after being sold."
"Oh, then my mother and sister's judgment is correct. Facts have proved that you are indeed not a scheming person." His Highness shrugged, "We didn't notice you before, just because you are my blood relative, the only one." Dear, we don’t want to do this to you.”
"Understood." Auntie nodded slightly, "It's my own fault."
"The target of that boy from Aoki and the Japanese should be me? Oh, no, not me!" His Highness shook his head gently and gave Ah Piao a nudge with his elbow. "The other party's target is the chair in the palace hall. After that, So kidnapping me is just to force me to hand over the chair. Once I fall into their hands, all you can do is give up the palace, right?"
"Yes, if they use you to blackmail us, there is no other way besides leaving the palace. After all, we want to save your life." A Piao raised her eyebrows slightly, "They guessed that we He must be able to throw a rat-proof weapon, so he came up with this trick. His Highness Aoki was superior and poured all this dirty water on the Japanese and my aunt, because even if the matter was exposed, it was the Japanese and my aunt's idea and had nothing to do with him. "
"Why has it nothing to do with him?" His Highness looked at Ah Piao, "Isn't he the mastermind of this matter?"
"Even if we knew it was him, we couldn't find any evidence. Neither the aunt nor the Japanese were the people he put on the surface. They were all the ones he laid secretly. Even if we made this matter public, we would only be able to It can be said that my aunt colluded with the Japanese, but not that His Highness Qingmu colluded with the Japanese and my aunt." A Piao spread his hands, "Two such useful shields should be used in vain, right?"
"Indeed." The aunt nodded. "I've seen the older children become like this since they were little. I don't know if I'm responsible for that." She sighed faintly, "Maybe his original plan was to kill me. Pushed out with the Japanese, he himself enjoys the benefits of being a fisherman."
