Yin Huaixi said, Due to the emperor and the Empress Dowagers serious illness, the inner courtyard of the deep palace is heavily guarded, like an impenetrable wall. The news that can be spread out of the palace is tacitly approved by the higher-ups. Its impossible for the few connections the aristocratic families manage in the palace to reach the Yi Kun Palace. Even if they find anything, they cant break through the layers of palace walls and send the news out of the palace. Dont underestimate the control of the higher-ups over the palace.
Otherwise, the news of the emperors serious illness would have long been exposed.
The Empress Dowagers true condition would also be known by others.
In that case, wouldnt the court be in chaos?!
Furthermore, the battle for the heir was becoming more and more intense. Everyone in the palace was in danger and on guard. How could the news in the palace be easily investigated?!
When Yu Youyao heard this, she understood. The matter of her precious fate was leaked by Madam Yao in order to plan for her daughters reputation. The Empress doesnt have to do anything. She just has to sit back and wait for the rumors outside to ferment to a certain extent. When the fake news reaches the palace and attracts her attention, the Yu Clan will have already fallen into her trap. Itll be too late,
It was like the matter of Yu Youyao being rewarded heavily without any warning. It was impossible to guard against.
The situation in the court changed rapidly. Normal people would not spend too much effort to pay attention to some small matters in the inner residence and some rumors outside.
Yu Youyao couldnt help but ask, Should I send a letter to remind them?
Yin Huaixi shook his head. It takes two to three days for the news to be delivered. When your letter is sent to the capital, the Imperial Astronomer has already entered the Yu Residence. Besides, how do you know if the Yu Clan really doesnt have the intention to get involved in the competition for the heir?
Yu Youyao pursed her lips.
There was something that bothered her, but she had never thought about it deeply.
It was completely blatant and undisguised that Empress Ning had planned her and the Fourth Princes marriage. However, in the letter sent by the Yu Clan earlier, it was only mentioned that the Imperial Court wanted to send a reward. It didnt mention that Empress Ning wanted to send a heavy reward.
Actually, this already explained the problem.
The Yu Clan did not participate in the battle for the position of heir, but that did not mean that they did not want to.
The reputation of the Yu Clans loyalty was bestowed by the king. The target of their loyalty could only be the king. By participating in the competition for the throne, they had the intention to overstep their boundaries and betray their ancestors. Once this matter was exposed, the reputation of the Yu Clan would be greatly reduced.
The Yu Clan had two monuments. As long as the Yu Clan did not court death, no matter who became the emperor, they would not attack the Yu Clan easily.
Unless it was a matter of life and death, there was no way out. Fighting for the throne would be harmful to the Yu Clan.
However, not getting involved in the struggle for the throne also meant that the Yu Clan would lose the chance to become a dragon follower. Unless they made some extraordinary contribution, they would never be able to revive the prosperity of the previous dynasty.
This was a difficult choice for the Yu Clan, who wanted to revive the clan and restore the glory of their ancestors.
Compared to taking the initiative to participate in the competition for the throne.
The Yu Clan needed an opportunity to compete for the position of heir, and Empress Nings schemes against her and the Yu Clan were a rare opportunity for the Yu Clan.
The Yu Clan adopted a conservative and even happy attitude towards this.
Therefore, even though they knew that she had been schemed against by Empress Ning, they did not remind her.
Yu Youyao did not think that there was anything wrong with the Yu Clan doing this. They had originally severed ties. Now, all that was left was endless gratitude and benefits.
Previously, in Quanzhou, she had also used the Yu Clan to restrain the Jiazhou Residence and create a chance for herself and the Xie Residence to escape.
Later on, when she came to Liaodong, she also used the Yu Clan to support the implementation of the state policy and even deal with the Han Clan in Xian.
You have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. What a palace battle. What a battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Yu Youyao sighed softly and did not say anything else. She only said, l wonder what the Empress
Dowager will think.
The Empress Dowager had the power to cover the sky in the palace, so she might not be able to stop it. Once the rumors outside the palace about Yu Shuangbais precious fate became more and more intense, the Empresss plan would succeed.
From the looks of it, the Empress was slightly better.
That might not be the case. Yin Huaixi smiled faintly. The emperor is seriously ill and hasnt been in the court for a long time. Everyone in the court is in turmoil. We have to come to a conclusion.
Yu Youyaos heart skipped a beat.
Indeed!
Yin Huaixi continued, The Empress Dowager doesnt object to the struggle for the throne. What she objects to is the struggle for the throne that will lead to the corruption of politics. Shes worried that the struggle for the throne will become more and more intense, causing chaos in the court. If we can end this struggle for the throne at the lowest price, the Empress Dowager might be happy to see it happen.
Yu Youyaos head hurt when she heard this. In that case, why doesnt the
Empress Dowager simply support the Empress and the Fourth Prince?
As soon as she finished speaking, she knew that she had said something stupid.
Concubine Lan and Imperial Concubine Xu were not to be trifled with. Of the Second and Third Princes, one was deeply valued by the emperor, and the other had an even more precious status. The Xu family, which was behind them, even controlled the military.
Yin Huaixi smiled. Its not that simple. The Empress Dowager has the right to assist in political affairs, but she cant participate in the battle for the throne. Otherwise, there will be information that she exceeded her authority. Do you think that the fact that the harem cant do political work is just for show?!
Although there was only a single word difference between assisting in governance and participating in governance, there was an essential difference. Once someone caught her red-handed, even the high and mighty Empress Dowager would be enough to cause trouble.
Therefore, not only could the Empress Dowager not interfere in the struggle for the throne, but she also had to suppress it and prevent the struggle for the throne.
Yu Youyao rubbed her head. The thoughts of a superior are really unpredictable.
Yin Huaixi agreed deeply.
Yu Youyao continued, The Yu Clan is part of the royal faction and doesnt participate in the battle for the throne. However, theyre not sages. They definitely have selfishness and bias. Compared to the Second and Third
Princes, the Fourth Prince is more in line with the interests of the Yu Clan. The Yu Clan might know what the Empress Dowager is thinking. Its very likely that they will cooperate with Empress Nings scheme.
In the nightmare, Yu Shuangbais phoenix fate was the result of Empress
Nings scheme and the Empress Dowagers tacit approval. Madam Yao and Madam Yang cooperated and the Yu Clan helped to encourage her.
In the end, Yu Shuangbai became the empress, and the Yu Clan became a relative of the emperor.
From the looks of it, there was no point in reminding the Yu Clan.
Yu Youyao was surprised, but she was also surprised. From the day she left the capital, her relationship with the Yu Clan had completely been severed. All she had was endless gratitude and benefits.
She wouldnt force everything that had happened in the nightmare into reality.
Its fine. Soon, they wont be able to take care of themselves.
Unknowingly, they had already walked for a long time. Yu Youyaos feet were a little sore, and her calves were a little numb. There was a thin layer of sweat on her nose. Yin Huaixi naturally held her shoulders and let her lean against Yu Youyaos heart trembled. Is there another commotion in Quanzhou?
Yin Huaixi smiled. King of Liangs army has already gathered in Quanzhou. In a few days, other news will spread in the capital. Yu Youyao suddenly felt that he was finally here..
