Chapter 528: Real Tool Man
"Wait!" Lu Yuanqi finally reacted, "You said... the Queen Mother you mentioned, isn't it the Imperial Grandmother?!"
Poor child, he was obviously so irritated that he couldn't even understand what was being said.
But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Yu shook his head and laughed, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.
The fact that a legitimate princess can be so carefree proves that the Queen protects her very well. Anyway, she herself hasn't been so heartless for a long, long time.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her brother who was forced to mature too precociously. He should have been the carefree third son of the Huangjue family, but he was innocently implicated because of the fight between those people.
Oh... not only that, there are also Muer and "Shen Yu".
Wu Zhongjian frowned slightly, with a look of disdain on his face, "It seems that he also has great ill will towards the Xue family!"
Shen Yu understood immediately. She had never thought about it this way before. "Sir, are you saying... she doesn't care whether the candidate is the Second Princess or Xue Yunyun? Her target is actually the Duke Dingguo Mansion?"
Everyone in the world knew that the Empress Dowager and the Empress were both from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and this fact once became a good story.
But who among the powerful and wealthy doesn't know that in fact only the Empress is from the direct lineage, and the Empress Dowager is only from the side branch? Obviously, the Empress Dowager herself is also very concerned about this matter... But whether she is indifferent or jealous, she should not sacrifice her own descendants as a raft, after all, they still have the same ancestors!
"But why..." Lu Yuanqi hung her head. She was not angry, but very frustrated. "I admit that I don't like her, but it was obviously her who disliked me first! She pretended to be very kind to the younger generation in front of others, but she loved to ignore me since I was a child. When we were alone, she would only talk to Xue Zhenzhen and treat me as if I didn't exist... But afterwards, she liked to reward me. What is this? A slap in the face and a sweet date?"
The second princess really felt that she was so wronged. She would not say these words under normal circumstances, but today she really couldn't hold it back!
She was not stupid, she had understood clearly that her cousin was deceived by the Queen Mother and the Yun family! Although she did not like her very much, she was still her uncle's daughter, how could she let them abuse her like this?
Xue Yunyun used to be a little narrow-minded, but she would never help harm others... If my uncle and aunt knew that their daughter had become like this, they would be so sad!
Thinking of this, she became even angrier. She grabbed Shen Yu's arm and said nervously, "What do you think they are doing? Do they want to pin these crimes on the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"
Shen Yu pondered for a while and said honestly, "I think there should be this consideration, but it's just a side effect at most..."
There needs to be a covert communication channel between the Queen Mother and the Yun family. What could be more suitable than a married woman who has fallen out with the family but has the same surname?
What's more, the worse Xue Yunyun's life is in Prince You's Mansion, the more she will want to rely on external help. Her proud and unyielding nature will prevent her from bowing to her parents easily...If at this time, an elder with a high status took the initiative to support her, she would probably be regarded as a life-saving straw!
“I have to say… it’s a really good plan!” Wu Zhong said seriously, “The royal family’s information channels are not so easy to infiltrate. No wonder we have been searching for a long time but have not found any evidence of any connection between the Queen Mother and the Yun family!”
Ever since they learned that the Yun family's collaborator was the Queen Mother, they tried to follow the clues to find the liaison in the middle. The two parties would definitely not communicate directly.
They considered all the officials of the Yun family in Luocheng, including the women of the marriage alliance, and even Xue Zhenzhen who had long been missing, but they never suspected that the problem would lie with the granddaughter of Duke Dingguo...
After all, the two Xue families are at odds with each other, and this is no secret. Who would serve as a carrier pigeon for the enemy for no reason?
Oh, no...it’s also possible that the “pigeon” itself doesn’t know.
If it was really her, then from Xue Yunyun's perspective, the Queen Mother was an elder who secretly looked after her, and perhaps provided her with help or advice at certain times, and did not ask for anything in return...
Or maybe Concubine Yun and the Queen Mother would create a false impression for her and mislead her into thinking that only with the Queen Mother's support could she live a better life in Youcheng.
Every time she contacted the empress dowager, letters from the Yun family and the empress dowager might be mixed in. Both sides were not worried at all that Xue Yunyun would lose contact. After all, as long as Concubine Yun put pressure on her daughter-in-law, she could force her to ask the empress dowager for help.
It seems that this is completely treating her as a fool...
Lu Yuanqi seemed to have listened to a divine book, and felt somewhat confused.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Yu saw her in a daze and waved his hand in front of her, "What's wrong with you?"
Maybe it was because she often hung out with Ye Muan that Shen Yu could actually understand her expression of anxiety, grievance and fear.
She asked, "Are you afraid? Afraid that you will become like this in the future?"
Lu Yuanqi pursed her lips and refused to answer. Under the gaze of everyone, tears fell.
The aunt comforted her distressedly, "Princess, don't cry. No one can bully you like this while I am here! We will all protect you."
To be frank, the Second Princess is the child I have watched grow up. If anyone in Prince You’s Palace dares to touch her, just try!
Shen Yu comforted him, "Don't worry, your background is too strong, you are not a target that they can easily manipulate."
Lu Yuanqi's eyes were red, and her movements of grabbing the tail of her clothes were almost the same as Tiantian's. She was really scared. "But... my cousin is also the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and the Queen is her biological aunt!"
Seeing her so flustered, Wu Zhong knew that he had spoken out of turn. Being too straightforward really frightened the simple Second Princess. He apologized, "Princess, you are right. You are not their target. Even the Queen Mother and the Yun Family don't have the courage to harm the Emperor's daughter."
Although, the second princess said that she was not comforted. She became more certain that Lu Feiqi's previous so-called encounters were just to attract the attention of her cousin. She was a legitimate princess, but was actually a tool!
"Damn Yun Family! Damn Queen Mother! I must complain to my father!!"
Shen Yu and Wu Zhong looked at each other and saw a gleam in each other's eyes. She finally thought of this!
No one is suitable to do these things except the emperor. Although he may not care about what happens to the daughter of the Xue family, but when it involves the collaboration between Youcheng and the Queen Mother, they don't believe that the emperor can remain calm!
The aunt lowered her eyes. Of course she saw through the conspiracy of these two people, but she did not stop it. Although they wanted to use the second princess, if the Yun family had the guts to use their princess as a raft, they should have the courage to bear the wrath of the emperor!
Finally getting rid of the trouble of the Yun family and the Queen Mother, Shen Yu felt relieved, but he didn't expect that Yun Mo's daughter would have an accident...
