Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 190 Heart to Heart
The eldest princess's crazy attitude startled Su Qingwan, and her heart ached terribly. It was not only the eldest princess who missed her brother, she missed her brother too.

If her brother still has a spirit in heaven, he would not want her and the eldest princess to become enemies. Even if he and the eldest princess become enemies, she also hopes to protect Nian Qing. If she is not forced to, she will not let Lu Jing know Nian Qing's identity. No matter how smart Lu Jing is, she is afraid that Lu Jing will become suspicious.

"Princess, please believe me. Lu Jing is not trustworthy!" Su Qingwan said solemnly, "If he is a villain who forgets his principles for the sake of profit, or if he is really a person who will do anything to climb up, then that's fine, but he is not! He is loyal to the emperor and will not betray him. You want him to send my father back to the southwest and kill my father. If he tells the emperor about this, how will you deal with it? You are playing with fire and you want to die. I won't stop you. Don't hurt Nianqing. The emperor protects the eldest prince so much. If you touch a hair on his head, he will take your life, even if you are his biological sister. The imperial power and his offspring are more important than you. For Nianqing, I can take the blame and I won't tell anyone about this, but you can't make the same mistake over and over again!"

The princess gradually calmed down. Lu Jing agreed to cooperate with her. She might have done something for him. She said calmly, "The emperor is my brother. I know him better than you. Let me tell you one thing. In the third year after he ascended the throne, Jinyiwei also had a brilliant guard. Once he was competing with others in the guard post, and he showed his talent. The emperor happened to pass by and heard that he looked down on his brother who was bedridden and said that one day he would replace him. He said a lot of disrespectful words, so he chopped the man to death in anger. Why do you think he killed people?"

"Because he was also bedridden, weak, and didn't have much time left. I brought my own perspective into the equation and became murderous!"

The princess chuckled and shook her head. "You are wrong. He didn't have so many thoughts. He was simply jealous of his good health, beautiful appearance, and his sharp edge. He was unwilling and jealous, so he killed him. Although Lu Jing was his confidant, he was also born with a beautiful appearance and sharp edge, exactly the same as the person who was killed that year. When he looked at Lu Jing, I knew that he was unwilling and jealous. They have been living together as monarchs and ministers for many years, and they may not be so open-hearted. The emperor is not as good to Lu Jing as you think. Lu Jing is such a smart person, he should also know that the emperor is wary of him. What I promised him is far more than what the emperor promised him."

Su Qingwan felt a little choked up and closed her eyes in despair.

In fact, everyone has a different perspective.

"You understand the emperor, and I understand Lu Jing. Even if the emperor won't open up to Lu Jing, Lu Jing won't betray the emperor." Su Qingwan said, "Your Highness, if it weren't for the incident that year, you and Nian Qing would both be my family. I hope you are safe. I also know that you and the emperor have a deep relationship as siblings. If you betray him, you will definitely not take his life. I also know that you have something to protect. But please listen to my advice. Lu Jing cannot be trusted. He must be the emperor's man! If he has told the emperor the truth, what should we do? You must be prepared for the worst. At least... send Nian Qing away!"

Adults can fight for power, seize profits, and risk everything, even their lives.

But the child must be alive, that is the fire of hope.

It is her only bloodline in Huainan!
"Nianqing is nominally a child of the Lu family, and no one dares to touch him." The eldest princess frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy. Is it true as Xiaowu said, will Lu Jing tell the emperor everything?
If the emperor knew her plan and her conspiracy, and she had never said a word to him, how would he view her? Would he have prepared a trap for her to fall into?
They used to be the closest siblings, and she had never thought of betraying the emperor. It was just that the emperor was weak and the eldest prince was young, and she didn't want the country to fall into the hands of the southwestern clan.

How credible are Xiaowu's words? "You were raised in the southwest, and your heart is not in Huainan. Fortunately, you know that Nianqing is the blood of Huainan. Back then, I wanted to persuade you to persuade the emperor's uncle not to fight for the throne, but you never listened to me. I asked you to wait and I would overturn the case for Huainan, but you refused to wait. Now, in order to save the emperor's uncle, you are willing to sacrifice your life. If I tell the emperor that you are the blood of Huainan, you will die. But you don't care at all. How do I know if what you said today is a trap?" The princess did not believe Su Qingwan, and even doubted it.

She also vaguely knew that the emperor's health was not as good as before, and she didn't know how long he could last. The eldest prince was young and could not bear the heavy responsibility. If the emperor had any problems, the generals would definitely support the King of Southwest to ascend the throne. The Lu family could not escape the reckoning, Nian Qing and she were in danger, and she had to protect herself. Why couldn't she sit on the throne of this world?

Xiaowu is now wholeheartedly leaning towards Southwest, perhaps he is here to alienate them. How can they believe it?
Su Qingwan felt sad and her eyes were red. "Princess, I will sacrifice my life to overturn the verdict and clear Huainan's name. I have never forgotten that I am the princess of Huainan. Overturning the verdict is my lifelong goal, but I don't want a river of blood to flow. The dead are important, reputation is important, and the living are important. In my heart, Nianqing is more important than myself. I would rather hurt myself than hurt Nianqing. Over the years, I have never told anyone his identity. You can see that the entire southwest does not know his identity. He is the posthumous son of my eldest brother. You should know that no one and nothing can be above him in my heart. Why can't you trust me once?"

The eldest princess felt a little choked and a little painful.

Su Qingwan's words also caused waves in her heart. Yes, she was clear about this, and she also knew that Su Qingwan had indeed never told anyone about Nian Qing's identity.

But it is also a fact that she was willing to die for the sake of Southwest China.

"Lu Jing likes you very much. For you, he is willing to conceal General Mu's affairs. This is already a betrayal of the emperor. The Jinyiwei has spies all over Kyoto. If the emperor knew about it earlier, he would have suspected him a long time ago." The eldest princess said, "I can see that he is willing to betray the emperor for you."

"I believe that he really likes me and is willing to do anything for me." Su Qingwan's eyes were calm. "But concealing General Mu's death does not count as betrayal to the emperor. It did not harm the emperor's interests, nor did it shake the emperor's authority. You see, he has never done anything to shake the emperor's foundation."

"Then you are wrong!" The princess chuckled and said, "Then you don't know Lu Jing at all. Do you remember the princess of Huainan who was killed in the Yangxin Palace? She was Lu Jing's person. Why do you think she died in the Yangxin Palace?"

"What?" Su Qingwan's face turned slightly cold and she was incredulous.
