Chapter 472 He Will Definitely Usurp the Throne
Emperor Liang ignored Princess Xi's death and didn't even say a word.

The 100-day memorial service for the Empress Dowager was held as usual, and outsiders could not notice anything unusual.

Although the eldest princess showed up, Princess Xi was not there. Ye Qingyou, who was pregnant, personally offered incense to the Queen Mother on behalf of the Luoning King's lineage.

People just talked about it for a few words and didn't say much, but some people with sharp eyes noticed that the eunuch Zhong beside the old prince had been following Ye Qingyou, while beside the old prince were Pan Sisheng and another servant, Weng Shu.

It seemed that something had happened that outsiders were not allowed to explore, but no one had the courage to ask more questions.

Even Concubine Xian and Yuwen Xiao pretended to be stupid and didn't say a single word.

The 100-day memorial ceremony ended and everyone left.

After Ye Qingyou followed the old prince and Pan Sisheng back to the mansion, Chuntang vomited as soon as he entered the door, and then sobbed into the pillow.

Ye Qingyou didn't know how to persuade her, so she asked Nanny Chang to take her to rest, "... and ask Doctor Lu to make some soothing medicine for her. She should be fine after a few days."

Just as Nanny Chang responded, Chuntang stood up and kept shaking her head, "No, I won't go. I'm just scared. What if something really happens to you... It's really too scary. I'm really scared!"

The tragic scene of Princess Xi being stabbed in the abdomen kept appearing in her mind!
Ye Qingyou touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm fine. And it's a blessing in disguise. I have Eunuch Zhong to protect me."

She also didn't expect that the person Pan Sisheng was talking about was Eunuch Zhong. This was indeed a surprise.

Chun Tang held onto Ye Qingyou's hand and refused to let go. "But I'm still afraid. If I take a step late, the poisoned dagger might touch you, or me..."

"A maidservant beside the Fourth Princess can't even bear to see such a small scene? There will be a lot of bloody storms to come. It's just a death of one person. You'll get used to it after seeing it too many times." Eunuch Zhong spoke harshly. He didn't like the weak and delicate girl.

Chun Tang bit her lip and kept quiet. She knew she was too stupid. "It was my incompetence that almost caused the princess to get hurt..."

"Then go down and learn, instead of whimpering here all the time." Eunuch Zhong stabbed again.

Ye Qingyou glanced at Nanny Chang and asked her to take Chuntang down first.

Nanny Chang actually had something to say, but seeing that Eunuch Zhong was nearby, she could only discuss it later.

The old man and the child left first, leaving only Eunuch Zhong and Pan Sisheng in the room.

Pan Sisheng was also quite scared, but he was a man after all, "I didn't expect the princess to give up her daughter..."

In fact, when Princess Xi went to see Ye Qingyou today, the eldest princess had already informed Emperor Liang of the matter in advance.

So Emperor Liang ordered Aunt Fang to write a note to transfer Nanny Chang away. As soon as Nanny Chang showed up, she was suppressed and was not allowed to save Ye Qingyou.

In fact, Emperor Liang wanted to give it a try. Is Yong Ye here? Is Yu Wenyan here?
But he didn't expect that the person who showed up was Eunuch Zhong. When he saw Eunuch Zhong carrying Princess Xi's corpse, he already understood that the old prince had completely tied the Pan family and Ye Qingyou together.

Ye Qingyou was also a little surprised. "I haven't thanked my father yet. If it weren't for Eunuch Zhong, I might not be able to escape Princess Xi's knife today."

"Actually, I didn't say it before because everyone wanted to see that Yu Wen would not show up at the banquet. I didn't expect that this guy really didn't show up. Ye Qingyou, he may really be dead. Do you want to remarry? I can talk to my father. It's not impossible for us to be brothers and sisters..." Pan Sisheng was ready to move again.

Ye Qingyou spat at him, "Get out of here, stop talking nonsense!"

"Anyway, I'm serious. It's useless even if my father adopts you as his adopted daughter." Pan Sisheng has made up his mind and will never give up.

Ye Qingyou didn't want to pay any more attention to her, but asked the eldest princess, "She gave up her daughter to save herself, what preferential treatment did Your Majesty give her?" Exchange of interests is the most commonly used method of the royal family. In front of these two words, blood ties no longer count and are not worth mentioning at all.

Pan Sisheng said, "Your Majesty has returned the Princess's Mansion to her. When she has settled the affairs in the north, he will give her the title of elder of the Royal Family Ancestral Hall."

Ye Qingyou suddenly realized, "No wonder..."

The chief elder of the clan temple is no ordinary person, he holds a high position and has great power.

"It seems that the eldest princess really cannot live without power."

"Xier has gone completely crazy and doesn't want to be dragged down anymore." Pan Sisheng didn't like this little niece, so he wasn't so polite when speaking to her.

Ye Qingyou was in deep thought, saying nothing.

Eunuch Zhong was a little puzzled, "What is the young lady thinking about?"

Pan Sisheng was filled with jealousy. "What else can he be thinking about? He must be thinking about that bastard Yuwen Yan. I would say he is really not worth it. He might have already started a life with someone else..."

"I was thinking that the salt field needs to be moved." Ye Qingyou suddenly said this.

Pan Sisheng was stunned for a moment, "Salt, salt field?"

"Yes, it's the salt field." Ye Qingyou stroked his belly, feeling a little tired. "Think about it, if the princess goes to appease the Second Prince, given his temper, will he be so willing to submit to Yuwen Xiao?"

"No, his original opponent was only the prince. He didn't even take Yuwen Yan seriously." Pan Sisheng answered instantly.

"So, if I were Yuwen Xin, I would definitely take risks... I would be crazy and want to live." Ye Qingyou looked at Pan Sisheng and Eunuch Zhong steadily, "He will definitely plan a rebellion."

Pan Sixheng: "..."

Eunuch Zhong: “…”

"What's wrong with your brain? Things here haven't even started yet, and you've already thought that Yu Wenxin would rebel?"

Moreover, in consideration of treason, the sea blockade and the increase in the prices of salt and grain were taken into consideration.

"If you don't believe me, just send someone to keep an eye on Yuwen Xin and see if he will be willing to give in." Ye Qingyou was very sure.

"Can't he take action after Your Majesty...? Wouldn't that be safer?" Pan Sisheng didn't say "passed away" directly, which also showed that he had been getting along well with Emperor Liang recently.

Ye Qingyou shook his head. "The Second Prince is not good at scheming and calculating, he only has the courage of a common man. If he had the heart to endure and not express it, he would not have been controlled by the Crown Prince for so many years."

"So I guess he will definitely make a move, and the princess may not be wholeheartedly lobbying for His Majesty."

Would a princess who could even sacrifice her own daughter be content to be just a lobbyist?
"How can the position of elder gained by lobbying be more brilliant than that gained by assisting a counselor? Just think about it, if she really helped the Second Prince to successfully usurp the throne, how would the Second Prince thank her? The eldest princess is such a respectable person, she would hope to get something shining, not a pearl covered in dust." Ye Qingyou was very sure.

Pan Sisheng looked at Eunuch Zhong, "Do you think she is right?"

Eunuch Zhong swept the duster and said, "Whether it is right or not, I dare not judge it without authorization. I only know that the eight young masters can't figure out what the young lady is thinking. You don't need to worry about it, just help the young lady make money..."
