Seeing that he almost resumed his calmness, Ling Jingxuan slowly walked back behind the desk slowly. From his narration just now, it wasn’t hard to sum up a few key points, firstly, Chu family was untrustworthy. They only cared about their own interest. Once Yunhan went back with the kid, it was quite possible that they’d plan to seize the power again. If controlled well, maybe they’d boost Yunhan’s motive. On the contrary, they’d become his obstacle. If it were him, he’d definitely stay as far away as he could from them, like how he let his parents divide up with the old Ling family. But Yunhan was different from him. He wasn’t that coldblooded like him. So his only choice was to firmly take them under control while using them. But for the degree, only Yunhan himself could control it. As an outside, he could do nothing.
Secondly, it was Noble Consort Xiao and her family behind her, from their ability to bring down the empress and his family, one could see that those people were not simple roles, especially Noble Consort Xiao, a woman, how much hatred did she hold to have the heart to kill the emperor’s son by slicing him? After Yunhan lost the title, she should have topped the whole harem. Was it merely for a title? No, there should be some other reason. It was just they hadn’t known know. This woman should be a lunatic. To deal with her, one had to beware of all possible schemes and plots and then strike back cleverly. But under the condition that his family was so unreliable, it was hard for Yunhan to press her down.
Thirdly, also the most important one–the emperor’s attitude. He had abolished his first wife. It should be like what Yunhan said-to suppress the Chu family. As for why he favored his whole family after that, maybe only to balance the harem. In and out of Yunhan’s words, he only mentioned Noble Consort Xiao. So the emperor should also be afraid that her and her family would grab too much power, so his intentionally reusing the Chu family was to give her a warning. Or maybe, it was mixed with some of his personal affections for Yunhan. But compared with the whole kingdom, that was merely nothing. What he couldn’t understand was his last words. Even if the emperor did not favor Yan’er, that was his own son anyhow. Even if Chu family had committed some high treason, seeing his son being cut into slices by that woman, he had no reaction at all. Judging from any angle, he thought it didn’t make sense. If that was because he loved Noble Consort Xiao too much, he personally couldn’t agree. If he really loved her, he should have already conferred her as the new empress, but instead, he used some other family to weaken her.
“How much do you know about the emperor? What attitude does he hold towards you and Noble Consort Xiao?”
Summing up the above, he felt that the first thing to figure out was the emperor’s thought, if he did not give a sh*t to the affection of husband and wife or father and son, they should make plan B, because if so, whatever Yunhan did, he wouldn’t take it in his heart at all, or give him corresponding affirmation. It was no use to go back.
“Huh?”
Chu Yunhan raised his head curiously, and then lowered his eyes and said as calmly as possible, “He is not worthy to be called a wise emperor, nor a fatuous one, but a diligent and moderate one. He wanted to govern the kingdom well, but not competent enough. Shengrui was always better than him by one tally.
“There’s one thing Shengrui might not tell you. Actually, before the late emperor deceased, his last words were to let him succeed to the throne. I heard the late emperor even issued the decree. But it’s just no one has ever seen that decree. After the late emperor deceased, under the condition that there was no decree, the crown prince took the throne, which was like a bomb that would explode any time for him. He dare not relax his vigilance a little bit, because he knew clearer than anyone, the only reason that decree didn’t appear is because Shengrui has no heart for the throne at all. If he couldn’t become a good emperor and bring peace to the civilians, or instead, make them suffer, it’s quite possible that decree would come to light. So he has been trying very hard. Any suggestion useful for the kingdom, he’d accept it.
As to his attitude toward me and Noble Consort Xiao, I think it’s a bit not so accurate if those words come out of my mouth. Before having been through that thing, I always thought, since I married him at twelve, he was like a big brother to me. So many years together in the crown prince’s mansion, and two years’ as the emperor and empress, we have never done anything to make the other side disgusted or what. We were like brothers. Sometime we may also talk about some national affairs, and read over and give remarks of the memorials, until…
Until I got framed up without any sign. I lost my title. The way he looked at me was complicated. I knew he knew everything in his heart, and I also believed that he could never do harm to his own child. The reason I got abolished is all because my Chu family had been behaving too rampant out there. So I didn’t complain. As a member of Chu family, the reason they behaved like that is all because of my position. So, I should also be held responsible for it. During the few years grounded in Fuqing Palace, I had always believed that he still had feelings for me, but…
Before I died, I started to doubt my persistence. Until now, I am still not clear since when he had become so cold-blooded. As for Noble Consort Xiao, before I married the emperor when he was still the crown prince, she had already been his side concubine and gave birth to two little princes and a princess. So the emperor quite favored her. As she got a bit older, Xiao family successfully selected some women and sent them into the palace. First, to use young and beautiful woman to keep the emperor’s heart. Second, to assist Noble Consort Xiao. As for other things, I am not quite clear. You know, I am a person indifferent to anything, and I seldom gossiped about others’ personal stuff. Even after being grounded, I didn’t mean to struggle or what, only stayed there quietly. So except my own things, I don’t know anything else.”
