Chapter 324: Mutual restraint and common interests
kindness?
Concubine Xiao frowned, her eyes showing displeasure: "Brother, why do you say that?"
"Ah."
Xiao Yuanshan chuckled: "My lady, you have always been thoughtful and careful, and you usually don't make mistakes."
"Otherwise, my Xiao family would never be as big as it is today."
"only……"
Xiao Yuanshan pondered and said, "Since you went to see the ghost face last time, things have become different."
"Your attitude towards the Sixth Prince has also changed dramatically."
"I wanted to ask you before, but I thought that the queen might have other plans, so I put aside my guess."
"But now, I am even more confused."
"Knowing clearly that this useless Sixth Prince wanted nothing more than to escape the control of the imperial power, Her Majesty not only chose not to stop him, but also asked the old minister to secretly help him."
"Once the Sixth Prince grows up, all our efforts over the years will be wasted."
When Xiao Yuanshan said this, his eyes were immediately locked on Concubine Xiao in front of him, as if he wanted to see some expression on Concubine Xiao's face, but unfortunately, she was helpless in the face of Xiao Yuanshan's words.
Princess Xiao didn't take it to heart at all.
even.
Concubine Xiao had been waiting for this moment: "Brother, with your intelligence, you should be able to see the key point."
"Although the Sixth Prince is a waste, let's not forget that Ling Tian is still the son of that woman."
"Just this little bit can save the Sixth Prince from many troubles. No matter what happens, His Majesty will look at the Sixth Prince with new eyes."
"So no matter what, since things have come to this point, we have to choose to face it."
"If His Majesty really wanted to take action against His Majesty the Sixth Prince, why would we have to bring it up again and again?"
"In fact, it all comes down to your majesty. You have no intention of punishing the Sixth Prince at all."
Xiao Yuanshan frowned and said nothing. He just looked at Concubine Xiao, waiting for her next words. Sure enough, Concubine Xiao turned around and whispered, "Now that the Sixth Prince wants to go to the border."
"Your Majesty is trying to stop him again. It's obvious that he doesn't want him to go and take risks."
"In that case, why don't we help them in a roundabout way?"
"Although the Japanese thieves are short, their methods are beyond your and my comparison."
"No matter how powerful the Ghost Mask is, it can't resist the Japanese."
"As long as the Sixth Prince goes to the coast, he will be close to death."
Xiao Yuanshan frowned. Although he didn't say anything, he clearly agreed with Concubine Xiao's words in his heart. As long as Ling Tian went to the coastal area, it would really be...
Not far from death.
"My queen, are you so sure that something bad will happen if the Sixth Prince goes to the coast?" Xiao Yuanshan said nervously, "The reason why His Majesty agreed to let the Sixth Prince go to the coastal area is because of this."
"Isn't it because your Majesty has trusted people guarding the coast?"
"Will Emperor Wu secretly support us? We will really be shooting ourselves in the foot."
Xiao Yuanshan is not an ordinary person after all. He can also guess what Emperor Wu is thinking. On the contrary, Concubine Xiao shook her head: "No."
"Brother, don't worry, although His Majesty has made arrangements in the coastal areas."
"But don't forget where Lao Wu is?"
Fifth prince?
Xiao Yuanshan pondered for a moment, and a strange color burst out from the depths of his eyes. Then he admired her sincerely: "After all, Her Majesty is Her Majesty. She actually implicated the Fifth Prince."
"Once the fifth prince falls into the trap."
"The biggest winner will be Your Highness."
Concubine Xiao waved her hand: "Okay, big brother, don't be suspicious."
"Now that the autumn hunt is approaching, I believe that His Majesty will soon put a perfect end to the matter of the prince's assassination."
"Although smallpox is still spreading, according to the news from Huaitong, cowpox is feasible."
"Your Majesty has now started a comprehensive search for cowpox, and is even planning to launch a nationwide rollout."
"Smallpox will not exist either."
Xiao Yuanshan frowned: "But Madam, do you really believe that this thing can suppress smallpox?"
"nature."
Concubine Xiao nodded: "According to the current situation, cowpox does not cause any discomfort after being used on the human body."
"Moreover, great doctors such as Li Huatuo have confirmed that there will be no side effects."
"otherwise."
"I would never have such thoughts."
Xiao Yuanshan frowned: "But it is a pox on the cow after all."
"All right."
Concubine Xiao said, "Brother, in fact, from another perspective, no matter who is the ruler of the world, it would be a great thing if they could completely get rid of smallpox."
"after all."
"Smallpox has troubled us for too long."
"Once anything unexpected happens, it will be hard to control."
Xiao Yuanshan nodded involuntarily: "That's what you say."
"I hope Ghost Face can have a bit of conscience and not joke with the people of this world."
"After all, we can lose, but the people of the world cannot afford to lose."
Xiao Fei asked: "Brother, do you have anything else to do?"
Xiao Yuanshan pondered: "Madam, do you know about Xiao Wen's affairs?"
Concubine Xiao nodded: "Brother, tell me the truth, were you the one who ordered Xiao Wen to make those solemn promises in the court?"
Xiao Yuanshan said with a straight face: "My Lady, what are you talking about?"
"I, Xiao Yuanshan, would never do such a shameless thing."
Concubine Xiao nodded: "Brother, I believe you, but as for Xiao Wen, we can only visit him out of courtesy."
"Don't lose your sense of proportion."
"Xiao Wen lost face in the court today."
"From now on, Xiao Wen will probably be laughed at by the whole world."
“Especially people who read books.”
Xiao Yuanshan whispered: "My Lady, the Crown Princess..."
"fine."
Concubine Xiao said, "I will explain to Yu'er. Yu'er is smart, so she will be able to see the seriousness of this. What we need to do now is to wait and see what happens."
"Send Liuzi out of the capital."
Xiao Yuanshan nodded and turned to leave. Xiao Fei watched Xiao Yuanshan leave, patted her chest lightly with her small hand, let out a long breath, and whispered: "Big brother actually doubted me."
"Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it."
"but……"
Concubine Xiao seemed to have thought of something, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "That guy went to the coast, can he really protect himself?"
"Pooh."
Concubine Xiao's heart trembled: "Concubine Xiao, Concubine Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
"You and him are only in a short-term partnership."
"How could you have such a thought?"
"Are you really attracted to him?"
"My God."
"He is your enemy. You must not have such thoughts."
"You are just having fun for a while and getting what you want."
"Don't think like that."
When Concubine Xiao whispered, a trace of struggle emerged in her eyes. In fact, she herself couldn't tell what she was thinking now...
