Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 368; Thoughts

At first, he still regretted it occasionally, but as the Hot Spring Villa Company developed better and better, his regrets became more and more serious.

If I hadn't made a wrong step at the beginning, how could I be struggling like this now?
Thinking back to what his mother had told him back then, he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his mind at that time.

His mother's eyes widened when she wanted to love him even more. The position of Crown Princess was so important, how could she allow him to go out just to repay her favor?

He didn't understand it at the time, but after getting familiar with it in the court in recent years, he finally understood it a little bit.

At that time, his mother wanted to win Duke Ji's palace into his East Palace battleship by repaying her favor.

Duke Ji Guo, his uncle, was not a simple person on the surface, although he looked like a transparent person in the court.

But as long as he doesn't stand up, it will definitely arouse the support of many officials.

Moreover, the officials in the court never came back to cause trouble for him. Even Meng Xuancheng, the big troll, never came back to cause trouble for him.

As for other ministers, like Li Jiujun, Ning Guogong, and even Fang Qiao, they are all targeted from time to time.

This already made him feel terrible.

But what made him even more terrifying was that he could see that Duke Ji had powerful connections in the court, but his father turned a blind eye and still used him very highly.

It was after he understood this that he regretted his mistake even more.

It is estimated that at that time, his mother had already seen the tyranny of Duke Ji Guo and wanted to win him over. However, she only saw the power of Duke Cao at that time and was very offended by ignoring the real boss.

Although Cao Guogong still has some power today, after those few incidents, he has been gradually marginalized by his father. When many important issues need to be discussed, Cao Guogong is no longer among the ministers summoned.

He sighed secretly and regretted it more than once.

So at this time, I heard that Zhou Tong actually wanted to use means to force and snatch things from Huo Junyao's hands.

His first reaction was fear, and his second reaction was naturally unwillingness.

It is easy to understand that he is afraid. Nowadays, he is no longer what he used to be. He is already on the same level as King Qi and King Chu. If he tries to provoke Huo Junyao again at this time, it will be even more difficult for him.

As for saying he is unwilling, it is natural that he still has some illusions in his heart.

I hope that I can find an opportunity to talk about easing the relationship with each other in the future, and then wait until I ascend to the throne and issue an order to directly include Huo Junyao in the harem.

When she becomes his woman, after some coaxing, admitting her mistakes, and writing off the past, let her be the helper who will make her famous forever.

As for the current Crown Princess Dong, unfortunately, she has no emotions at all.

Even though Zhao Yaner had been dead for a while, he still had not been to Dong's side, as if she did not exist.

And Mrs. Dong is also very sensible. She is not too arrogant. On the contrary, she arranges things in the East Palace in an orderly manner.

He felt that as long as Dong was so sensible, it would be okay to let her sit in the position of princess. As for the position of queen, he already had a plan in mind. This was also the biggest bargaining chip he felt could be used to win over Huo Junyao.

After all, no woman can refuse to become a queen and the most noble woman in the world.

"I have to think about this matter carefully. Please step back first." Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong felt a little unwilling and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you get that thing , the benefits to you are also visible to the naked eye.”

"First of all, the position will be very stable, and secondly, I will be able to leave King Qi and King Chu behind again."

"The most important thing is that the thing is in your hands, which is a very powerful trump card."

This Zhou Tong kept talking about the benefits, but didn't mention at all what the consequences would be if this thing didn't succeed.

I also don’t know if I didn’t think of doing this. Once the news spread, whether King Qi and King Chu would sit back and wait for death.

"I know what you said, but I still have to think about it carefully. Please step back first."

Seeing that he spoke so resolutely, Zhou Tong did not dare to say any more and honestly bowed and left.

After leaving the house, a flash of anger and disdain flashed across his face.

The prince sitting in the main hall was silently thinking about Zhou Tong's words just now.

Although he is not very smart, he is not completely brainless. He knows the benefits Zhou Tong just mentioned, but the consequences are not small.

The reason why I agreed to let Zhou Tong go there was because I wanted to see if I could gain some advantages by attacking the Turks.

As a result, it didn't work out now, and Zhou Tong still wanted him to use strong methods.

This had to make him cautious. He already had other thoughts about Huo Junyao and was thinking of finding a chance to make amends. If something happened at this time, he would never have a chance to make peace again. .

Of course, he didn't know that even if nothing happened, there was no possibility of making peace, but there was always room for fantasy.

Moreover, in his opinion, Huo Junyao is his aunt's child, and she is a real relative. His father, the Queen, his mother, and his little aunt also have a very good relationship. Although the family has some misunderstandings, they have to apologize properly. There is still a chance to go back to the past.

Of course, the most important point is that although he was sorry for Huo Junyao, he did not go to the point of fighting to the death. It was just to break Huo Junyao's marriage. If he was willing to grant the title of queen, it would be equivalent to making up for it. , even though it’s a few years later, isn’t this position still hers?

Although he knew this very well in his heart, he was also very jealous of the homemade bomb.

Nowadays, the situation in the court, King Qi and King Chu are getting more and more powerful, especially King Chu, who has now gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although King Qi has not caught anything, he is still quite afraid of King Qi. So I don’t dare to take it lightly.

He urgently needs a big achievement to stabilize the current situation.

After much thought, he had no choice but to give up? He was unwilling to do anything about Huo Junyao, and he was even more unwilling to do anything to Huo Junyao.

Finally, he slowly stood up and found Shen Huan.

Although Shen Huan has been working in the East Palace these years, the uncle and nephew have basically no contact with each other except for one hour of study time every day.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the prince is too busy, busy wooing courtiers everywhere.

On the other hand, it is naturally because Shen Huan has understood the emperor's thoughts, and naturally he is not willing to devote too much effort to the prince. Anyway, if one does not come to find him, the other will not take the initiative to come forward.

The prince suddenly felt a little embarrassed and wanted to ask himself what he should choose for his uncle who he had ignored for a long time.
