Jiang Ning didn’t speak, not denying his words.
In the dim twilight, Jiang Yi pushed Seventh Sister’s wheelchair and slowly walked.
Little snowflakes were still falling from the sky.
Jiang Ning felt a bit cold and tightened the cloak around her.
“Seventh Sister, have you ever thought about one thing?” Jiang Yi asked.
“What?”
“You cooperated with Wenren Zong and undermined Prince of Yu, making the Emperor dissatisfied with him. If by any chance, he really cannot become the Crown Prince and the King of Chen takes the position, have you ever thought about the more serious consequences?”
“I’ve thought about it.”
Jiang Ning knew clearly that the King of Chen and Prince of Yu were enemies. No matter which one of them ascends to the throne, neither would let the other go.
If the King of Chen ascended to the throne, Prince of Yu would definitely meet a tragic end.
As for the Jiang family, given their connection with the Prince of Yu, and with Wenzan and Lingzi’s children, they would inevitably become targets of the King of Chen’s attacks.
If the Prince of Yu became the emperor, he would at least not do anything to the Jiang family and their children.
Either way, the calculation didn’t seem profitable.
Jiang Yi still had concerns in his heart.
Jiang Ning said, “The Emperor is still in good health now. Even if the King of Chen becomes the Crown Prince, he would have to wait for a few years. But if Li Hongyuan becomes the Crown Prince, the two children would be taken to the East Palace immediately.”
“Although His Majesty is not too old, this kind of thing… Who can say for sure.”
“Third Brother, you are speaking rather rebelliously.”
“I was just saying it casually to you.”
“Don’t worry. With the Emperor’s condition, living for another twenty or thirty years is not a problem.” Jiang Ning smiled, “How old is the King of Chen? Wouldn’t it be nice to let him be the Crown Prince forever?”
Jiang Yi laughed out loud, “Only you could think of that. You’re really gambling on this.”
“Let’s wholeheartedly wish the Emperor a long life of a hundred years.” Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Besides…”
“What?”
“Who says that after becoming the Crown Prince, one can definitely inherit the Imperial Throne?” Jiang Ning calmly said, “If I remember correctly, our current Emperor has never been a Crown Prince, has he?”
The current Emperor Li Changgeng seized the throne from his elder imperial brother through a military coup.
If there’s real ambition, whether one becomes a Crown Prince or not doesn’t really matter.
Jiang Yi felt chills down his spine after hearing this: “Seventh Sister, you must never speak of these things in the future. This is the Emperor’s taboo, and it is now a topic that no one dares to mention.”
“Third Brother, don’t be nervous. I was just saying it.”
“You girl… I thought you were nurtured in a poor household and wouldn’t have much knowledge. I didn’t expect you to outmaneuver both Prince of Yu and Wenren Zong. If Prince of Yu knew that it was you manipulating things behind the scenes, he would be furious.”
“What did I do? I am just a disabled girl; what kind of waves can I stir up? I simply took advantage of the situation. If Wenren Zong hadn’t tried to scheme against me, I wouldn’t have been able to turn the tables.”
“What about Prince of Yu? Although he’s a bit two-faced, he hasn’t done anything to hurt you… Even if it’s for the sake of the children, there’s no need to harm him too much. After all, he sent the children to our family because he cares about you.”
Jiang Ning didn’t make a sound.
She couldn’t tell anyone about what Li Hongyuan had done to her.
No matter if it was Li Hongyuan or Wenren Zong, she didn’t like either of them.
Manipulating them, she didn’t feel guilty at all.
After a night passed, the snow stopped, and the weather cleared up.
Wenren Zong was going to return home.
Jiang Yi personally escorted him.
He stood at the gate of the Jiang family, and couldn’t help looking back at the house.
Jiang Yi smiled and said, “The carriage and horses are prepared, Master Wenren, please..”
