Chapter 356

"Although we are in adversity, we have also proven one thing," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

Hongyun was also curious: what did this prove?

"What?"

Zhen Yuanzi: "This proves that Heaven is wary of us; it fears us. This shows that our methods have made Heaven feel threatened."

This is indeed good news, truly exciting good news.

While looking at Xiqi, Mo Wang had already made Su Daji feel threatened.

Although Boyi Kao's nature remained unchanged, Su Daji had already begun to resent Ji Fa. If Ji Fa hadn't coveted the position of the young master of Xiqi and hadn't joined the Chan Sect to compete with Boyi Kao, their family wouldn't have had so many troubles.

If Ji Fa only wanted power, that would be one thing; they could have gone to Ji Province and lived a life of wealth and comfort. But Ji Fa was not satisfied with that. He fought for power with Boyi Kao's people in the court, using all sorts of schemes and tricks.

As members of the Chan Sect entered the imperial court one by one, and even Buddhists attacked Boyi Kao, Su Daji couldn't help but suspect that Ji Fa wanted to kill her brother.

After all, as long as Boyi Kao lived, Ji Fa was not the eldest son of the legitimate wife, and his succession and rebellion would be illegitimate.

"Uncle-Master, I've been taking the pills for several days now, but I don't know if I'm pregnant yet."

Su Daji wanted to give birth to Ji Chang's eldest grandson, in order to increase Bo Yikao's bargaining power.

Bu Ran is currently in seclusion to break through her cultivation barrier, and Bo Yikao and Su Daji can only turn to Mo Wang for help when they encounter problems.

Mo Wang glanced at Su Daji's lower abdomen and comforted her, "Don't worry, the golden elixir cannot be lost."

Su Daji was indeed comforted, but she was still hesitant. It was clear that she had something to say earlier, but she was unwilling to say it directly.

Mo Wang: "Say whatever you want, right or wrong, your martial uncle will always stand by your side."

Su Daji then spoke up: "Uncle-Master, now that Jiang Ziya has become the Prime Minister of Xiqi, his official rank is above yours. Will this have any impact on you?"

This was definitely not what Su Daji would say. Mo Wang was a little impatient. They were all family, so why was she being so hypocritical?

"It's alright!"

After thinking for a moment, he explained, "Jiang Ziya was appointed Prime Minister by Boyi Kao. Although his official rank is higher than mine, the court officials still prefer to listen to me and Boyi Kao!"

"Now that our father is trapped in Chaoge, and all affairs of Xiqi are under the control of Boyi Kao, why don't we just drive the people of the Chan Sect and Buddhism out of Xiqi?"

Su Daji was puzzled by these things. Xiqi was clearly in Boyi Kao's hands, so why did it fall into such a passive situation, allowing Ji Fa to openly defect to the Chan Sect?

Mo Wang: "This decision was made by the Marquis of Xibo in a dream to Bo Yikao, and Bo Yikao must prioritize filial piety."

"If he were to bear the stigma of being unfilial and disrespectful to his brothers, even if Boyi Kao became the Marquis of Xibo, he would be deserted by all."

In this era, filial piety is the most basic virtue of a person. If one is not filial, then no one will trust any of one's actions.

His allies would think that he was so heartless that he didn't even care about his own father, and wonder if Bo Yikao, as an ally, would save them if they were ever in danger.

The court officials also believed that Boyi Kao only cared about power, refused to listen to Ji Chang for power, suppressed his younger brother, and disregarded the life of his father who was still a hostage in Chaoge. They wondered if he would be a monarch to be loyal to in the future.

"So how should I break this deadlock?" Su Daji knew that Boyi Kao wouldn't do that, so she wanted to find a way to satisfy both sides.

A glint of light flashed in Mo Wang's eyes.
