Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 188
Xie Wanqing shook her head and said, "I'm fine here, brother sent someone to take care of me!"

"No, I'm not afraid that you will live here badly. I want your uncle to adopt you. From now on, your surname will not be Xie, but Cui!" Mrs. Cui said decisively.

Xie Wanqing asked in surprise: "Grandma, there's no need for this, it's not appropriate at this time!"

"There's nothing inappropriate. The Xie family treats bright pearls as rocks. It's because they have no eyes. I have discussed it with your uncle, and both he and your aunt agree!" Mrs. Cui said.

Xie Zi'an also nodded, and said: "When I came, my aunt would follow, but she was afraid that there would be too many people and would attract attention, so I didn't let her come. My aunt asked her to take you back to Cui's house and said that she would be your Mother!"

Xie Wanqing's eyes turned red, and her heart was full of gratitude. Although she didn't feel wronged or hurt at the moment, she still felt extremely happy to be cared and cared for by so many people.

The nightmarish ten years in her previous life were finally gone. God gave her a chance to start again, allowing her to feel this true love again, which was enough to make up for all the harm she had suffered!
Xie Wanqing still shook her head stubbornly, and said: "Although my uncle and aunt sympathize with me, it is precisely because of this that I can't go. The emperor wants to see me betrayed by the world, and to see me being criticized by the world. If the Cui family takes me in If you stand up for me, then the emperor's anger has a reason to be directed at the Cui family, you can't give the emperor this reason!"

Mrs. Cui shook her head and said: "The Cui family is not afraid, the Cui family did not rely on the emperor to have what it is today, everything in the Cui family was bought by the Cui family with their blood and lives, even if he is the emperor, he can't obliterate the achievements of the Cui family !"

Xie Wanqing took a deep breath, and said: "The emperor is just because he has nothing to do with the Cui family, so he wants to take me under the knife. Grandma, what does it matter if I am slandered by the world alone? You want uncle to recognize me as a Girl, isn't that the same as telling the world that the Cui family is going to turn against the emperor?"

"He is the emperor after all, and the Cui family is the courtiers after all. Even if we are right, it is useless, because the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"

Xie Wanqing really hates this world, the so-called three cardinal principles and five permanent principles, and the so-called distinction between monarch and minister.

So even if the emperor made a big mistake, the courtiers would not dare to say that he was wrong. Even if the emperor was virtuous and incompetent, the courtiers could not resist, otherwise it would be rebellion and a traitor!

It was precisely because of this in the previous life that even though the Cui family was driven to a dead end, they never thought of rebelling against the emperor or the prince.

However, the emperor and the crown prince still mercilessly charged the Cui family with the crime of "rebellious minister", making them doomed forever!
Mrs. Cui could only sigh helplessly, and said: "The emperor is getting old!"

"So the Cui family has to think about the way out!" Xie Wanqing said with deep meaning. She actually wanted to take this opportunity to let the Cui family stand in line earlier. If the emperor is virtuous and not afraid of meritorious officials, then just be a pure minister with peace of mind That's fine, but the current emperor is clearly a fearful hero, and wants to wipe out what he thinks is a threat for the next emperor.

Then the Cui family can no longer foolishly think that allegiance to the emperor is the only way out. They must support a new monarch. An enlightened monarch who will not be afraid of heroes is the choice of the Cui family.

Mrs. Cui narrowed her eyes slightly. It's not that she hasn't thought about this issue. It's just that the emperor tied the Cui family to the prince's boat through Xie Wanqing, so they have always been impartial. Whoever is the emperor is loyal to whom. The heart of the minister.

But now, the emperor had clearly turned his back on him, so the Cui family really had to think about their way out, otherwise they would have to be beaten passively, and sooner or later they would be swept away by the emperor.

Mrs. Cui sighed, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way. Now the emperor's adult princes, except King Jing, have no great prospects, but King Jing..."

"The emperor will not let King Jing have a bright future, who will let his mother..." Xie Zi'an said, and then glanced at Xie Wanqing, who said this to Xie Wanqing.

Of course, Xie Wanqing knew that the emperor was jealous of King Jing, he favored him everywhere, and suppressed him because King Jing's mother was a former princess, and she and the emperor were feuds!
But so what?Xuanyuan Jue's surname is Xuanyuan, but not Yang. He wants to be emperor, not to avenge his mother clan!

Mrs. Cui also sighed, and said: "King Jing is quite talented. Although he is a little cold, he is not as hypocritical as a prince!"

"So grandma thinks, is it worth a fight?" Xie Wanqing asked tentatively.

Madam Cui frowned, looked at Xie Wanqing, wondering why she suddenly mentioned this matter.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly explained: "I'm also thinking about who the Cui family should support. After much deliberation, King Jing is the most likely!"

"This matter needs to be carefully considered and not acted rashly!" Although Mrs. Cui looked impulsive, she still had a sense of the overall situation, and it was absolutely impossible to choose to side with King Jing just by relying on Xie Wanqing's few words.

This is related to the fate of the Cui family. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of exterminating the family. It is no wonder that Mrs. Cui is hesitant.

Xie Wanqing said: "Grandma, I'm just saying this. Of course, the decision-making power rests with you and uncle, but don't think about it too long. The emperor is old, and the prince has no virtue. If the prince is allowed to ascend the throne, it will definitely hurt the Cui family." It is a devastating blow!"

Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "I understand that!"

Xie Zi'an looked at Xie Wanqing, a little surprised that she planned to help Xuanyuan Jue get the position.

Mrs. Cui still insisted on asking Xie Wanqing to go back to Cui's house with her. Xie Wanqing sincerely stated that she could not go, and it would not be too late to go when things calmed down a little. Mrs. Cui couldn't hold her back, so she gave up.

But still arranged a few people for Xie Wanqing, fearing that she would not have enough people here.

Xie Wanqing knew that if she refused again, it would make the old lady feel uneasy, so she accepted it.

"Grandma, you'd better go back earlier, you'll attract attention if you've been here for a long time!" Xie Zi'an persuaded, in fact, he was afraid that Mrs. Cui would feel sad towards Xie Wanqing.

Mrs. Cui sighed, and said: "Then I'll come back another day, you have to take care of yourself tonight, don't worry, no matter what time it is, as long as grandma is still here, you don't have to be afraid!"

"Yes, Wan'er understands!" Xie Wanqing said obediently.

Mrs. Cui patted her hand before reluctantly leaving.

After Xie Zian sent Mrs. Cui out, he turned back, dismissed the others, and asked, "Wan'er, have you made up your mind to support Xuanyuan Jue?"

"Brother...do you feel bad?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Xie Zi'an frowned and said: "The emperor has been admiring King Jing these years, but he has been spared no effort to suppress him behind his back, preventing courtiers from interacting with him, and making him a target of the princes. Can't you see it?"

"Of course I can see it, but... so what?" Xie Wanqing asked with a smile.

Xie Zi'an said: "That means, the emperor will not allow him to succeed to the throne, and will not pass on the throne to him!"

"You don't need his permission. When King Jing is strong to a certain level, the emperor can't stop him. This is the general trend!" Xie Wanqing said categorically.

Xie Zian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you so confident in Xuanyuan Jue?"

"Well, I believe in him, and...if my grandfather's family is willing to help, King Jing's chances of winning are much higher!" Xie Wanqing said.

Xie Zian pursed his lips and asked, "Did you support Xuanyuan Jue because you fell in love with him?"

"We can't let the crown prince win the throne, that's the real disaster!" Xie Wanqing said.

Xie Zi'an nodded, and said, "But I don't like Xuanyuan Jue, he is farther away from the throne than any other prince!"

Xie Wanqing nodded, but still said: "It is precisely because of this that I hope he can reach that position. Like me, he is a person who will never admit defeat. I am willing to gamble with him, even in the end Shattered to pieces!"

Xie Wanqing felt more and more that she and Xuanyuan Jue were the same kind of people. She clearly knew that what she had to do was very difficult, so difficult that others thought it was impossible, but for the persistence in her heart, she was desperate, even if it would break her head And the blood flow doesn't turn back.

Although there are millions of people, the persistence of going forward is what really moved Xie Wanqing. She cherishes Xuanyuan Jue's persistence, or stubbornness.

She also cherishes her hard-won second choice. She is willing to believe in human nature again, and believes that there is really a person in this world who not only has power and interests in his eyes, but also has true feelings!
Or this is the so-called sympathy for each other. They are all pawns who are not loved by their fathers, but are used up and discarded for different reasons.

So from the very beginning of her rebirth, she chose Xuanyuan Jue from the bottom of her heart, not anyone else!

"But I don't want you to take risks. I'd rather you live in peace for the rest of your life, even if you don't get noticed by anyone, even if you don't have glory and wealth!" Xie Zi'an murmured.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said: "Impossible, since we were born, we were doomed not to live that kind of life, and now it is even more impossible, those people will not allow me to be safe and sound, or completely knock them down and eradicate them !"

Xie Zian knew who the people she was talking about, so he could only sigh and said, "Sister, don't you regret it?"

"No!" Xie Wanqing said, even if she lost the bet in the end, she would never regret it, because this time, it was her own choice, not a helpless act of following the trend.

Xie Zian nodded and said, "Okay, then brother will accompany you!"

Xie Zian's tone seemed very calm, and Xie Wanqing didn't know what his "brother will accompany you" meant.

He has been fighting outside for these years, experienced countless hardships and dangers, and experienced life and death on the front line many times, and finally everything he got in return, he gambled on this sentence.

Xie Wanqing looked at Xie Zi'an puzzled, but suddenly seemed to understand something. In her previous life, she married the prince, and Xie Zi'an followed the prince. This time...he also chose King Jing because of her, right?
