Twin Brocade

Only when the mantis catches the cicada can the oriole follow.

When cranes and clams compete, the fisherman will benefit.

Once King Qi gets rid of his opponent, the crown prince, it is only a matter of time before he ascends the throne.

Wei Yixin knew that the black hand hidden behind the scenes was eventually eradicated by Emperor Qinglong's design, but it would not have any impact on King Qi's throne.

King Qi's status is stable, which is a great thing for Princess Duancheng, but for a woman who wants to become an empress, it is a scene she never wants to see.

That means she has no chance.

Since the pre-Qin period, there has never been a female emperor in history.It's not that there are amazing and talented people, but at most they control the imperial court as queens and queen mothers, and no one dares to call themselves emperors in a fair manner.

Wei Yixin knew very well that her advantage was that she could predict the future, so she recruited a group of capable people in advance to work for her.

But she is only the princess, and will not be vassalized by the forces in the court.

Those pedantic Confucian scholars would rather choose a mediocre prince from a concubine than support her.If she wants to become emperor, she must do extraordinary things to win in the chaos.

If everything was the same as in the previous life, and the crown prince lost power, and King Qi finally came to the throne in the 11th year of Qinglong, her elder brother Wei Jiayun would become the new crown prince.

King Qi was in his prime, and he had two sons of his own.Once he secures the throne, Wei Yixin, a princess, wants to become an empress, it is simply harder than ascending to the sky.

Although she has just reached the age of Ji now, she has the soul, wisdom, and experience of two lifetimes, and time is on her side.

If you wait, the sons of King Qi will grow up and become adults.They will have their own direct descendants, and they will win people's hearts and gain support.At that time, there will be a new round of battle for succession.

As a princess, how could she compete with the princes?The adult prince will be even more difficult to deal with.

What's more, Wei Yixin didn't want to wait.

Wait until King Qi is old, and then seize the position, by that time she will no longer be young.What's the point of becoming an empress at that age?

She knew about the chaos in Qinglong's last years, and thought it was her best chance.

King Qi, the crown prince, unknown forces, and Emperor Qinglong, these four parties are indispensable.What Wei Yixin wants is a chaos in all directions, so that she can fish out of troubled waters.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to interfere with the process of history, risking losing her ability to predict, and obliterating key witnesses held by King Qi.

In Wei Yixin's calm eyes, there was absolute calmness.If you look carefully, you can also find a trace of resentment hidden in the depths.

Yes, that's right.

Deep in her heart, she didn't want King Qi to be on the throne again, to enjoy the scenery and glory of ruling the world.

She still remembered why she vomited blood and died in her previous life.

In her previous life, for the sake of King Qi's ascension to the throne, she devoted all her energy to severing her emotions, but in the end, it was King Qi's ruthless suspicion and deprivation of her rights.He wants to be himself, to be a queen mother who enjoys wealth and honor in the harem, and to be a symbol of his filial piety to his mother.

Who does he see himself as?

A woman who can't keep her chastity, a queen who betrayed Emperor Qinglong, or a spiritual totem of a dynasty?

No matter which one, she would never accept it.

After Wei Yixin was reborn, she often thought about this question.Sometimes she felt that she vomited blood and died because she was angry and regretful, but it might also be because she was unwilling to let King Qi get what she wanted.

King Qi's heart is to ascend the throne and become emperor.Then in this life, this wish, she can't make him come true.

King Qi would not have expected everything Wei Yixin had planned.

Even if someone told him that the witness was killed by Wei Yixin's order, I'm afraid he would not believe that his most beloved and clever daughter would do such a thing.

Wei Yixin is well aware of the manpower and style of work that King Qi uses heavily, her people are clean and neat, and Fang Shuyu will never find out.

A few days later, Fang Shuyu reported back to the King of Qi that the prince did not do this.But the other party acted meticulously and did not leave any clues.

After some discussion, King Qi decided to wait for a better opportunity.

There was an unknown force on the other side who suddenly took action to help the prince, which made Qi Wang uneasy and did not dare to act rashly.

In the sky, scattered snowflakes floated.

This winter seems to have come very early.All the able-bodied families in the city set fire to earth dragons.

Fang Jinshu sat on the burning bed, playing with Weijing Weipu and his brother.

Weijing's hands and feet are nimble, and after she can crawl, she often slips to the edge of the bed without blinking, and needs someone to stare at her without blinking.Wei Pu is much more well-behaved, and loves to climb into his mother's arms, giggling as he watches his sister wandering around.

Two wet nurses stood by and waited on him, fearing that the little master would fall off the bed if he made a mistake.

Fang Jinshu looked at the two children, but was a little lost in thought.

It was already the beginning of December, and the weather was eerily calm.

Xu Wanzhen was not kidnapped like in her previous life.I don't know if it was Wu Zhengxiang's signal, a few days ago Xu Wanzhen held a small-scale plum appreciation banquet, and she was naturally invited.

Fang Jinshu was relieved to see that Xu Wanzhen was safe and sound.

Wu Zhengxiang was not in the capital, but went north secretly.Presumably, there was news of the mastermind behind the scenes.

These are all good things, but the beginning of December should not be so peaceful.

In the previous life, the crown prince was not upright. He was accused of murdering court officials, deceitful, and using power for personal gain by King Qi, and Emperor Qinglong decreed to abolish his position as crown prince.

The prince was not reconciled, and brazenly poisoned Emperor Qinglong, intending to seize the palace.

Emperor Qinglong was poisoned, and King Qi rescued him. So far, the crown prince was deposed, and King Qi was no longer invincible in the court, and was canonized as the crown prince.

This matter is of great importance, and it is a key step for King Qi to finally ascend the throne.

However, in this life it did not happen.

How is this going?

Fang Jinshu thought over and over again. Although it was unreasonable, there was only one explanation, that is, Wei Yixin interfered in this matter.Only she has the ability to predict the future.

However, wouldn't it be most beneficial for Wei Yixin that King Qi ascended the throne?
At least when she became a princess, it became very simple to deal with people who didn't like her.

Wei Yixin, what exactly does she want to do?
The more Fang Jinshu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.She summoned Yang Liu, gave her orders down, and prepared to deal with the possible changes that might come next.

She had an intuition that time might be running out!
This winter passed quietly, and the king of Qi and the prince were still fighting openly and secretly.In the north, there was a general named Bakunlin who was secretly arrested by Xiaoqiwei and returned to Beijing.

In addition, there were two other things that Fang Jinshu paid attention to.

The Spring Festival is just the time to visit relatives and friends, but Mrs. Gong never showed up, and only Fang Jinhui entertained on behalf of the Gong family.Everyone in the social circle tacitly understood that Mrs. Gong must have made some mistake and was confined at home.

Of course, everyone pretended not to see it and would not bring it up.
