Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 572: Is it because of this?
Liu Yao went crazy and rushed back to the cabin.

With a sound of "Bang!", Mr. Gongsun's door was pushed open.

Mr. Gongsun, who was drinking tea, raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, then continued to pick up the tea cup and drink slowly.

Liu Yao closed the door, bowed respectfully, and then said: "Sir, I have something to ask you."

Mr. Gongsun slowly poured a cup of tea, and then motioned for Liu Yao to sit down.

Liu Yao did not sit down, but asked himself: "Why did my father send people to assassinate this group of people?"

He seemed very anxious, as if he couldn't wait to know the answer.

The more he behaved like this, the less anxious Mr. Gongsun became. Instead of telling him the answer he wanted to know, he sipped the tea unhurriedly.

This made Liu Yao anxious and lost his patience.

"Sir, I am looking for you because you are an outsider and can definitely tell me the answer from a more objective perspective. However, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yao turned around and left.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gongsun looked at him with a smile: "Since Your Highness knows that I can give His Highness a more objective answer, why don't you know that in Your Highness's position, you should be indifferent to emotions and anger?"

"The more you want something, the more patient you have to be. Don't let others figure out His Highness's preferences. Don't let others catch His Highness's weaknesses. This is the way to survive."

Liu Yao gritted his teeth: "I don't care about this!"

Mr. Gongsun smiled and said: "Then let's go, Your Highness. I have nothing to say to Your Highness."

Liu Yao turned around and left, but when he put his hand on the door, he stopped.

Then, he took a deep breath, turned around and sat next to Mr. Gongsun, picked up the teacup and started drinking.

Perhaps because he had something on his mind, he drank the tea as water, gulped it down, then sat down with his lips pursed.

Mr. Gongsun opened his eyelids and glanced at him, then continued to sip the tea in the cup.

It wasn't until the tea was finished that he spoke slowly: "This matter has to start with the girl's grandfather. What kind of person does Your Highness think the girl's grandfather is?"

Liu Yao answered without thinking: "Everyone says that he is a wise prime minister, a person who has made an indelible contribution to Dongling, and is the patron saint of Dongling."

Mr. Gongsun put down the tea cup: "That's the reason."

Liu Yao almost blurted out, but he finally held back: "Sir, please clear up my doubts."

Mr. Gongsun said slowly: "Prime Minister Bai Weiyong was promoted by Emperor Hui. Because of Emperor Hui's kindness, he dedicated his whole life to Dongling."

"He worked diligently to assist Emperor Hui. After sending Emperor Hui away, he worked hard for Emperor Wen. As a result, Emperor Wen also left and handed your father over to him."

"In Emperor Hui's eyes, he is a promising man with great ambitions, and he will definitely be able to command the big ship Dongling."

"In Emperor Wen's eyes, he was the confidant his father left to him, the humerus of the country, and an important minister who could be relied on."

"But in your father's eyes, merits become faults, because your father grew up listening to the praises of Prime Minister Bai since he was a child."

"After two dynasties, Prime Minister Bai's power and prestige have reached their peak. The more he shines and the more capable he is, the more he highlights your father's shortcomings." It hurts the eyes, which leads to dissatisfaction.”

"What's more, Prime Minister Bai, as an important minister, has the power to help with political affairs. He will definitely correct your father's mistakes in politics."

"Since ancient times, loyal advice has been harsh to the ears. Your father has always been prejudiced against Prime Minister Bai. Those unpleasant suggestions have naturally become ironclad evidence that Prime Minister Bai is dictating and bossing around."

After a pause, Mr. Gongsun continued: "So this dissatisfaction, over time, turned into hatred."

"This hatred has blinded your father's eyes, so that your father can no longer see Bai Xiang's contribution. All Bai Xiang's actions have become a great achievement, until he can't wait to get rid of it."

Looking at Liu Yao's dejected look, Mr. Gongsun continued:

"For your father, Prime Minister Bai is a huge stumbling block. Unless Prime Minister Bai is removed, Dongling's political affairs will not be completely in his hands."

"If Bai Xiang doesn't die, he will still be the emperor who was entrusted to the elders of the three dynasties; if Bai Xiang doesn't die, he can only stand under Bai Xiang's glory."

"Whenever he makes some political achievements, the world will attribute them to Prime Minister Bai's assistance."

"Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for your father not to kill. It's just that due to Bai Xiang's reputation, your father has never had the chance to take action."

"Finally, with the opportunity of the Battle of Yinshan, your father can finally deal with the Bai family in a fair and just manner."

"Unexpectedly, Bai Mingwei suddenly jumped out and not only revived the Bai family's family, but also held Dongling's [-] soldiers and horses in his hands."

"What do you think your father would think?" Mr. Gongsun stared at Liu Yao and asked word by word.

His eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see through fire, and all the dark and sinister things in the world could not escape his eyes.

Liu Yao was a little nervous when he saw him, and he didn't know how to answer this question. He hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

Mr. Gongsun gently closed the lid of the tea cup, and the clear sound seemed so clear in the room that suddenly fell into silence.

It was like something sharp suddenly struck Liu Yao's heart.

Seeing that Liu Yao remained silent, he continued to tell the cruel reality in a calm tone:
"For one thing, your father will think that because he once wanted to attack the Bai family, this girl will take revenge on him after she has these military powers."

"Second, the girl is the granddaughter of Bai Weiyong, whom he hates deeply. Seeing the girl continue to show off her skills in the court will give him the illusion that Bai Xiang is still there."

Having said this, Mr. Gongsun paused again.

He picked up the teapot and continued to fill the teacup with water.

The thin voice sounded like thunder in Liu Yao's ears.

When Mr. Gongsun put down the teapot, Liu Yao saw that his hands were shaking violently.

Then, he heard Mr. Gongsun's calm voice again.

"So the girl must die. Only when the girl dies can he be truly freed. Only when the girl dies can the thorn in the side of the Bai family be completely removed."

Liu Yao listened silently with trembling hands. After a long time, he showed an unbelievable look: "Is it because of this?"
