The whole capital persuaded me to remarry

Chapter 50 The Aunt's Ambition

Hearing this, Zhen Baoshu's face suddenly turned red.

Was she so coquettish and pestering when she was a child?

Slowly looking up at him shyly, recalling the warmth and reassuring breath of his embrace, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But after glancing at the court ladies and eunuchs not far away, as well as those clan children who were slowly approaching, she had no choice but to suppress this thought regretfully.

She shook her head, with some anticipation, "I'll pounce on you when you come to me tonight."

Yan Jiulan laughed.

Shu'er's words made him look forward to meeting tonight.

Seeing someone looking here, the two of them restrained their expressions and continued to speak calmly.

Yan Jiulan talked about Zhen Guifei.

"After I got the order from the emperor today, Concubine Zhen summoned me."

"She hinted to me that as long as I can be used by her, she can let you marry me."

Hearing this, Zhen Baoshu was very surprised.

What does my aunt do to win over a general with a large army?
Usually, concubines win over courtiers to help the prince seize the throne, and the aunt has no sons, so she——

Just thinking of this, Zhen Baoshu's eyes suddenly fell on Princess Ruiguo.

There was a bit of shock in her eyes.

Is it...

Yan Jiulan followed her gaze to look at the little princess, her eyes darkened slightly.

"You guessed right. I also think that Concubine Zhen wants Princess Ruiguo to be on the throne. Today, her words are so bewitching to me, I can vaguely hear her ambition."

Zhen Baoshu felt incredible, "Is she crazy?"

She looked at Princess Rui with distress.

"The princess is soft and kind by nature. How can she be as decisive as the former queen, stepping on countless bones to rise to power?"

"The emperor only has the princess as his own daughter, and he treats her like a jewel. In the future, no matter which clan descendant ascends the throne, if he doesn't want to be poked in the back, he will treat her kindly, the eldest princess. She will be one of the most honorable women in the world. The status will only be below that of the empress dowager."

"But if she participates in the battle for the throne, all those clan children will regard her as a thorn in their flesh, wishing they could get rid of it quickly, and she will be torn to pieces by those evil wolves in all likelihood!"

"Not only the clan's children want to get rid of her, but also the ministers in the court. Who can tolerate her, a woman who is trying to get her hands on the throne? They look down on women from the bottom of their hearts. Who can accept a woman as emperor?"

"Don't say it's these outsiders, even the emperor, knowing that the precious daughter he holds in his hands is coveting his throne, he will feel cold and let her go, right?"

After saying this, Zhen Baoshu couldn't help expressing her confusion again.

"So, Auntie, she is letting go of a good life but insists on getting involved in the storm. What exactly do you want to do?"

Yan Jiulan looked down at the innocent Shu'er, and sighed slightly.

His voice was low and inaudible.

"How do you know that she doesn't covet the throne herself?"

Zhen Baoshu's heart skipped a beat.

What Brother Yan meant was that maybe Auntie wanted to support the princess first, and when the situation was settled, she would put the princess under house arrest and take the throne herself?
If my aunt really has such ambitions, brother Yan can see it today, but won't others be able to in the future?
A chill ran down her spine.

If the emperor sees through the aunt's conspiracy, how can the Zhen family not be implicated?
Seeing her pale face, Yan Jiulan comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, your father won't just watch his sister commit a crime that would implicate the whole family. Even if something happens, I'm still here, and I won't let your Zhen family There is a fear of life."

Zhen Baoshu nodded, not wanting to worry him.

But the uneasiness hidden in his heart did not recede much.
