Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 572 Extravagant Hope (2)
After all, if there was a natural or man-made disaster, Emperor Xiande would definitely hide it carefully so that no one would know about it, so how could he tell him so loudly?

What Xia Xia meant was to let him take advantage of the natural disaster to start rebelling, so that the chance of success would be several percent higher, and he was very excited about it.

But what if it's a trap!
He knew that Emperor Xian De had always been afraid of him, and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

It's just that she hasn't caught his handle, so she has to keep him.

And once he started to rebel, Emperor Xian De immediately had a reason to suppress him and eliminate him.

Thinking of this, King Jin couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

I couldn't help but feel thankful that I didn't listen to Xia Xia's words before.

Although he already has considerable strength now, he is also very clear that with the power he currently controls to head-on with Emperor Xiande, it is simply like hitting a stone with an egg and being vulnerable, so he never wanted to confront Emperor Xiande head-on Instead of confronting each other, they wanted to win the throne with various intrigues and tricks.

Seeing that King Jin's expression was changing, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, the corners of Emperor Xiande's lips curled up slightly, and without disturbing him, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

He wanted to deal with King Jin, but not now, because he wanted to concentrate on dealing with the coming drought, and when the drought passed, he would free up his hands, and it would not be too late to deal with him.

Of course, if Jin Wang rushed to seek death, he would not back down.Even if natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, a mere King Jin is not his opponent, but he will pay a considerable price.

However, the King of Jin remembered that this was the imperial palace, so he quickly came back to his senses and said: "What your majesty said is that it is better to believe what you have or not. It is always good to prepare early. Your Majesty is trying his best to promote maize. Could it be the same? Because of this?"

If it was just to set him off, how could it be necessary to spend so much effort?

Although King Jin had doubts about his previous judgment, he didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity.

A stern look quickly flashed in Emperor Xiande's eyes, but with a smile on his face, he nodded slightly and said, "I was planning to promote maize, but after this happened, I deliberately accelerated my pace, luckily I succeeded in the end, I have to say, I did go a little too far this time."

King Jin scoffed at Emperor Xiande's words.

Emperor Xian De always made decisions before making moves. Before making a move, he must be [-] to [-]% sure, so how could he advance rashly?
In his opinion, Emperor Xian De's series of deeds are more and more like a trap waiting for him to fall into the bait.

He couldn't help feeling angry, frightened, and even a hint of complacency in his heart.

Among the many vassal kings, he was the only one who caused Emperor Xian De to deal with it so much.

This shows that his strength has threatened the emperor's rule.

This gave him a little more confidence in himself.

However, whether to do it this time or not, I still need to discuss it with my staff.

As for Xia Xia, she is a woman after all, and she is easily deceived by the appearance of things.

After the two finished talking about the old days, King Jin went to see the Queen Mother again.

Today, Empress Dowager Yu's health is getting worse and worse. She has been paralyzed on the bed, unable to move half of her body, her hair is gray, her face is full of wrinkles, and her body is thin. Has completely become a useless person.

After seeing King Jin, Queen Mother Yu's cloudy eyes lit up immediately, and she said "ahhhhh" excitedly, as if she regarded King Jin as her life-saving straw.With his still-moving hand, he tightly held King Jin's arm, without even knowing that his saliva was coming out.King Jin had a forced smile on his face, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eagle eyes.

But Queen Mother Yu didn't see it, and she kept pulling King Jin to talk non-stop. Although she couldn't speak clearly, the few words that popped up occasionally made King Jin guess what she was talking about.

The general idea is that Emperor Xiande was not filial and supported King Jin's supremacy.

All the court ladies and eunuchs around lowered their heads, as if they didn't hear it.

King Jin saw this, but the suspicion in his eyes deepened, and he believed more and more that this was a conspiracy by Emperor Xian De.

Although he was impatient to listen to this mad woman's nagging, she was the Queen Mother after all, so he patiently listened to her nagging, and he was able to escape until the Queen Mother was tired and sleepy.

When he left the palace, King Jin's face was stretched, and his whole person looked more and more gloomy.

Xia Xia did not follow into the palace, but waited outside the palace gate.

Seeing King Jin, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him. He was about to speak, but was stopped by King Jin with his eyes, and said, "If you have anything to say in the car."

Xia Xia looked around, nodded, respectfully helped King Jin into the carriage, and then sat in herself. As soon as she got into the carriage, she couldn't wait to ask: "Ah Xuan, how are you? Is the previous guess correct?"

King Jin glanced at her lightly, and said, "Your guess is correct, Your Majesty also said so."

There was a smug look on Xia Xia's face, and she said, "I knew I wouldn't make a mistake. That being the case, after we go back, we can prepare..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Prince Jin's gloomy face, and the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's your expression?"

King Jin barely showed a smile, and comforted him: "Xia Xia, we will talk about this later."

"Why?" Xia Xia was angry and puzzled, "This is a great opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

King Jin finally got a little impatient, and said, "Leave this matter alone, it's obviously a trap."

"This is impossible!" Xia Xia said sharply, her eyes full of disbelief, "How could this be a trap? My lord, don't be fooled by the emperor."

"Xia Xia, are you questioning this king? Or do you think that this king is so incompetent, has no judgment at all, and needs your advice on everything?"

Seeing that King Jin was angry, Xia Xia was stunned for a moment, and then anxiously defended herself: "My lord, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"Okay, just leave this matter alone, I have my own plans." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and ignored her.
