Princess of the auxiliary country

"June Chen?"

Princess Ningyang was startled for a moment, then understood what she meant.

What is a pure minister? Not belonging to any faction, nor participating in any factional battles, but only devoted to the imperial power, is a pure minister.

Princess Ningyang was very clear about the current situation in the Yu Dynasty. Before Huo Junyao came back, Duke Ji's mansion was naturally on the side of the prince.

But since the plot between the prince and Zhao Yaner at the palace banquet, Duke Ji's mansion has been on the opposite side of the prince.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. During this period of time, King Qi and King Chu had been secretly wooing Duke Ji.

As for Duke Ji himself, to be honest, he was a little tempted.

If it were in the past, Duke Ji would never have made such a hasty decision, but the prince's actions really chilled him, so although he didn't express too much, he was already holding back the energy in his heart to pull the prince down. .

Therefore, when facing King Qi and King Chu, he was a little tempted. After all, these two powers are not weak. If he can choose one of them, the success rate will be very high, and it will definitely not be far better than him fighting alone. .

He also discussed this with Princess Ningyang, but could not make a specific decision for a while.

After all, taking sides is of great importance.

And once they take sides, how the emperor will view them will have a huge impact.

But now after hearing Huo Junyao's words, the eldest princess Ningyang had an idea in her mind. It was indeed impossible to choose to take sides now. This would not only involve the entire Duke Ji's palace in the whirlpool, but also cause problems with their status in the emperor's heart.

"It's good to be a pure minister, but what about the prince's side?"

At this point, the prince will definitely not be able to ascend to the throne. Judging from his current attitude, once he ascends to the throne, Duke Ji's palace will definitely face disaster.

"I have my own way of doing this. Mom, you just need to be a pure minister."

Getting rid of the prince will not happen overnight. She already has a very preliminary plan in mind, which still needs a little improvement.

Hearing this, Princess Ningyang looked at Huo Junyao silently, and after a long time she said, "Whenever you need help, you must tell mother."

She understood what Huo Junyao meant, and she felt distressed at the same time.

She planned to deal with the prince alone without involving Duke Ji's mansion. She knew that this was taking into account the emperor's view of Duke Ji's mansion.

If she did it alone, even though the emperor would be angry, there was nothing he could do.

Because it was the prince who targeted her first, you can't just allow your prince to deal with others, but not allow others to retaliate, right?

Huo Junyao did not use the power of Duke Ji's government, but clearly told the emperor and everyone that this was a personal grudge between the two of them.

The prince of a country already has a lot of advantages against a woman. If he still loses, it can only mean that the prince is very bad.

At the same time, the emperor and the queen would also attack Huo Junyao out of embarrassment. They were already bullying the smaller ones. What they were losing by joining was the royal face. At the same time, how would the world view the royal family?

How will those nobles view the royal family?
The impact of this will be huge, and they have to think carefully. After all, if this is not done well, the royal majesty and face will be completely lost, and it may even cause the courtiers to counterattack.

Of course, someone else would not be able to scheme against the royal family like this, but Huo Junyao can.

Because of what happened more than ten years ago, the emperor's family owed her a great favor. She understood this clearly, so she wanted to use this great favor in exchange for a fair one-on-one duel.

The mother and daughter soon returned to the eldest princess' mansion. Huo Jingzhi and Huo Jinyan had been waiting at the door. When they saw them coming back, they quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation. "Let's talk after we go in."

In the living room, Princess Ningyang dismissed all the servants, told Huo Junyao's plan to Huo Jingzhi and his son, and analyzed everything in it thoroughly.

"Mom is right, second brother, you'd better not get involved in this matter, but you can't give others excuses."

Huo Jingzhi was silent for a long time before he said, "Have you decided?"

He couldn't fault Huo Junyao's plan. Such a one-on-one duel was indeed the best way. Even if everyone knew about it in the end, no one could find any fault.

As for what the king and his ministers said, the prince would never say it directly if he wanted to save face.

After all, he is facing a challenge from a woman. The dignified prince of a country can only rely on this statement. Then this prince is too useless and too shameless. Even if he wins in the end, he will lose the hearts of the people and he will definitely not be able to keep his position. .

It can be said that Huo Junyao has planned everything thoroughly and has almost blocked all roads, leaving him to have a one-man showdown with the prince.

"Now that you have decided, my father will promise you."

"However, Duke Ji's Mansion will always be your backing. If you can't do anything in the end, even if your father fights for the destruction of Duke Ji's Mansion, he will not let the prince have an easy time."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Huo Jinyan.

"Dad, what do you think I'm going to do? My little sister is from Duke Ji's mansion, so we must advance and retreat together."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi and Princess Ningyang nodded with satisfaction.

"Dad, don't worry, he's not enough for me to fight one on one."

He was just a prince, so she really didn't take it seriously. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things involved behind the scenes, she wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to arrange so many things.

"Oh? Little sister is so confident? Tell me about your approach, and second brother will help you give advice."

Huo Junyao shook her head.

"Okay, don't ask. It's of no use to us if we know. Just let your little sister do it by herself."

Huo Junyao's words just now made it very clear. Duke Ji's mansion does not need to get involved, so it is best to know nothing.

As long as they don't know, they won't do anything to cooperate. If they don't interfere, even if the empress sees that Huo Junyao is targeting the prince, they won't be able to get involved.

"Yes, don't ask anything. What happened in the past will be what happens in the future. You just need to be your little sister's strongest support and don't get involved with anything else."

Huo Jinyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, someone came to report from outside. Uncle Chang Xin and his daughter asked to see him.

When they were in the imperial study just now, Chang Xinbo said he would come over to apologize. Huo Junyao briefly explained the situation, and Huo Jingzhi asked his servants to invite people in.

At this time, Sun Mingwei was frightened. She had been scolded by Sun Zhao just now. She also knew that she had caused a big disaster, and apologizing was her only way out. If she didn't come, Huo Junyao, a lunatic, would probably beat her. Come to the door.

By then, she may not be able to survive.
