After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the cannon fodder family went crazy!

Chapter 22 Take care of yourself
  Lu Youyou's words caught Lin Yuyan's attention. As soon as she came over, she noticed the large and small packages of gifts behind her cousin. Usually it would be nice if she didn't take some things from her when she came, but today she brought so many gifts.

[Oh oh oh, I know, I guess you want to join the prince's camp, so you want to win over the general's office to join the prince's camp, so that you can claim credit in front of the prince and make a certificate of submission, right? 】

Judging from the many novels about house fights and palace fights that I have read, there is usually a person who does not look very smart and tries to be smart by himself. He wants to take advantage of others to achieve his own goals. In the end, he will end up with a person who harms others and himself. end.

Lin Yuyan listened to her daughter's complaints silently, and also made secret calculations in her heart, but the expression of thinking like this frightened Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou thought Lin Yuyan was thinking about what her cousin said, so she quickly shook the little golden bell in her hand.

[My dear mother, don’t believe her just because of her few words. This woman is very bad. She wants to drag us into trouble, and she even wants to step on us and rise to the top! 】

Lin Yuyan grabbed the little bell on Lu Youyou's hand and said, "Hey, dear, my mother will take you to find my second brother in a minute. Just wait."

"If this is what my sister came here for today, I can't make the decision. The emperor's concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics. Although I have the final say in the internal affairs of the General's Mansion, things like this that form cliques for personal gain and disrupt the government cannot be done by the General's Mansion. I will never get involved."

Lin Yuyan stood up and said, "I would also like to advise you, don't have the intention of harming others, lest you suffer the consequences in the end, Fu Liu, see your guests off."

Lin Yuyan did not give her cousin a chance to continue. She could understand that she was a woman and did not understand these things, but she did not want to be involved by her. If she dragged down the entire general's mansion in the future, she would definitely regret it.

Since nothing you said has happened yet, there is still a chance for everything to be rectified.

The cousin hesitated for a moment, but looked at Lin Yuyan's firm departure and said nothing more.

But Lu Youyou, who had been held in her arms, suddenly woke up and remembered a very important detail in the book.

【Prince! 】

Lu Youyou actually didn't have much impression of the prince in the book. There was very little description of him in the book, and he was also said to be the queen's legitimate son. He was kind but not responsible, so he wavered in many things. It is probably because of this that he You will always be plotted, but never resist.

Although he is indecisive, he is kind. If it were not for such a story background, he might have become an idle prince who did not pursue fame and wealth, but the old emperor wanted to push him out to block the knife.

Sure enough, you have to pick the soft persimmons.

Today is just the beginning. The prince hates his emperor father's PUA. He might one day help Sheng Jingxuan seize the military power of the General's Mansion.

[Think about it. My father was so loyal to the prince. He thought he would be in charge of the East Palace. However, the old emperor did not want the prince to have military power. But at that time, Sheng Jingxuan, whom he was most optimistic about, had not yet fully stabilized his wings, and the emperor did not want that. The prince had been deposed a long time ago, so he took action at the general's palace. 】

[It's a pity that my father didn't take good notice of the good man. The prince was so indecisive that he couldn't stand the deception of the old man of the emperor. He abandoned the general's palace in just a few sentences. In this regard, even Sheng Jingxuan can't compare. 】

Lin Yuyan listened to Lu Youyou's words with a heavy face, and was thinking about her own plan in her heart. Not only the General's Palace, but also the Taifu's Palace. Most of the people in the government and the public will choose the prince's side, but in the end, no one can say for sure who will own the throne.

The prince has always been gentle to others, and he is actually very popular among people in the court. However, as Youyou said just now, he is indeed very opinionated and can easily be swayed by others.

This is also something that everyone knows, so when Youyou just said that the prince is easily influenced by others and treats the General's Mansion as an abandoned son, Lin Yuyan also thinks it is very likely to happen.

At this stage, the General Mansion can still remain neutral, but what about in the future?
  If the wrong person is chosen, given the status of the General's Mansion, there is likely to be a series of changes. It seems that it is time to discuss with Lu Jingyuan what should be done.

Sheng Jingxuan used this strategy well. When he framed Sheng Shiyou in turn, the evidence was also ambiguous. It did not cause any apparent harm to Sheng Shiyou, but it left a mark in the emperor's heart.

After the emperor sent people to investigate, he would definitely find clues, but due to the royal family's reputation, he would naturally not publicize it to the outside world.

Sheng Shiyou and Sheng Jingxuan appeared in the palace peacefully. Everyone pretended to be calm, but the prince understood the little actions of his two younger brothers. He was already timid, and with the two of them The person's constant little actions recently made him even more anxious.

However, the prince knows how to be a king and a minister, and he doesn't bother to collude with cronies. However, he can't help but compare himself to his two younger brothers. Sooner or later, there will be problems.

During dinner, Lu Shengqing brought back the good news that the Ninth Prince had been lifted from confinement. Lin Yuyan also took this opportunity to talk to Lu Jingyuan about what happened during the day.

"But that is the prince after all..."

After listening to Lin Yuyan's words, Lu Jingyuan still felt a little guilty in his heart.

Although so far, they have received the guidance from Youyou and have successfully avoided a lot of disasters, this is after all a major matter of establishing a successor. If they make the wrong decision at this step, they will make mistakes every step of the way. .

Lin Yuyan knew that Lu Jingyuan still had expectations for the prince. After all, officials who truly serve the country and the people hope that a benevolent king will sit in a high position. From this point of view, the prince is actually the best choice, so there is such a situation. Many people support the prince, but there are still many unresolved matters at the moment, and they cannot make a judgment, "Alas,"

Lin Yuyan sighed and continued, "In my opinion, it's better to remain neutral and wait and see."

"But, do you really think that the Emperor doesn't like His Highness the Crown Prince? But I think..." Lu Jingyuan hesitated a little. In his opinion, the Emperor has always been strict with the Crown Prince, and it seems that he was trained as the king of a country. So he was still a little doubtful about Yoyou's words.

"The king's heart is unpredictable. What I'm telling you today is to ask you to be more careful during this period. Since someone wants to take action from me, they will definitely take action against you."

Lin Yuyan knew she shouldn't care too much, but for the safety of her family, they really couldn't take such a big risk.
