582 Little Sly Jiang Takes Action, Ending Like This (3)
He was actually the second son of the Helian family!!! Wasn’t this group of people… too lucky?!
Nangong Li couldn’t even breathe properly.
The Queen was the same too. She gritted her teeth and said, “…What people from Qinghe Town are you talking about? Afraid that someone will go to their nest to persecute their family, right? They really hid it well!”
Now, they were naturally not afraid because the Queen had snatched Yan Jiuchao’s father. It could be considered a public fallout with Yan Jiuchao and his father-in-law’s family. Once something happened to the Yu family, the Queen Manor would be the first target of suspicion!
!!
However, this was not what gave the Queen a headache.
“You told me that the Princely Heir Consort of Yan Jiuchao is the daughter of the Eldest Princess. Initially, I thought that this was nothing. The Emperor hates the Eldest Princess, so he will definitely hate his daughter. Yan Jiuchao is from the Great Zhou Imperial Family, and it’s hard to put out a fire close by. The Eldest Princess and her daughter are nothing to be afraid of. But now, the Eldest Princess has changed and become the daughter-in-law of the Helian family… What’s worse, Helian Beiming is crippled. Her husband is the next head of the Helian family!
“If I had known earlier, why would I have crippled Helian Beiming’s martial arts back then? Wouldn’t it be better to let him continue to be the family head? At least he was only a relative of the Eldest Princess, and at least there was Madam Tan and Helian Sheng who could control him!
“Now… it’s useless to control him… The family head has changed!”
The Helian family, which she had tried all means to rope in, had become the property of that mother and daughter without any effort.
How could she endure this?!
“Mother, calm down,” Nangong Li comforted.
The Queen’s chest heaved violently. “How can I calm down? In the past, I wouldn’t be afraid, but now that your father’s matter has happened, your grandfather is extremely disappointed in me. It’s hard to guarantee that he won’t think of his eldest daughter who was wandering outside in a fit of anger. At that time, with the support of the Helian family, do you think she’s still far from that position?”
Nangong Li continued, “Grandpa didn’t abolish your position as the Queen in a fit of anger. It’s obvious that the only person Grandpa values is still Mother.”
The Queen snorted. “You don’t know this, but your grandfather placed me under house arrest and even took over my power. I’m just a Queen in name now.”
Nangong Li smiled faintly. “So what? To be blunt, Grandpa will die one day. At that time, as long as you’re still the Queen of Nanzhao, you’re destined to sit on that throne legitimately. You can slowly take back the power you lost after you ascend the throne.”
The Queen nodded thoughtfully. “From your words, it seems to make sense.”
Nangong Li said, “That’s why you don’t have to do anything now. Just keep your position as the Queen steadily.”
The Queen was furious just thinking about it. “If the Eldest Princess hadn’t colluded with the Helian family, why would I be so careful? So what if I pierce the sky? How can your grandfather not pass down his empire to me?”
Nangong Li smiled and said, “It’s precisely because of this that you have to keep your cool. You’re the legitimate child of the Central Palace, so you’re the legitimate heir. Even Grandmother will plead for you.”
At the thought of her mother, the Queen had an idea. “I can’t leave the manor. Go to the palace for me later and see your grandmother.”
Nangong Li nodded. “I know what to do. Mother, just wait for my good news in the manor. I’ll also think of a way to persuade Grandmother. As long as she speaks, Grandpa will definitely punish you leniently.”
That’s right. The person the Emperor doted on the most all these years was the Empress. The two of them had a good relationship to begin with. After the incident with Consort Yun, the Emperor felt guilty, so he treated the Empress better than before. There was nothing that the Empress could not settle.
“Li’er.”
Nangong Li was about to leave when the Queen suddenly called out to him. Nangong Li turned to look at her. “Mother, is there anything else?”
The Queen paused and frowned. “You think this matter is controlled from behind?”
“Mother, are you talking about spreading the news of Yan Jiuchao and Father’s identities?”
“That’s right.”
Nangong Li snorted and said, “Of course it’s Yan Jiuchao. Other than him, who else knows Father’s background? He’s really vicious. In order to exonerate himself, he didn’t hesitate to push his biological father into the fire.”
The Queen walked forward and touched her son’s face. “That’s why my Li’er is the most filial child in the world.”
Nangong Li smiled. “I will be filial to my father and mother.”
This was a serious matter, so Nangong Li did not dare to delay and immediately entered the palace to meet the Empress.
The matter of the Prince Consort had caused an uproar. Even the Empress in the back palace was forced to hear about it. However, she did not expect it to be true. Her daughter had gotten involved with Prince Yan of the Great Zhou.
