Chapter 259 Situation
"However, your grandfather has always been feared by the emperor. In order to reassure him, he didn't dare to develop his military strength at all."

"But the people of the Wa Kingdom seem to know this. They are becoming more and more arrogant and often harassing Yuzhou. Recently, there have been frequent small battles, and the Bai family army has lost many people."

"Unfortunately, Yuzhou is remote and there are very few medicinal materials. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be driven out by the Wa Kingdom."

Ji Qingyue's eyebrows were filled with anger: "Then the emperor will let this go on and lose Yuzhou in the end?"

"The possibility of losing Yuzhou is unlikely, but that one is waiting for the Bai family army to make a mistake, and then there will be an excuse to take it back." Ji Chenyuan sighed.

No matter how old Hou Ye backed down, it was obvious that the emperor didn't care.

Before, it was other things that bothered him. At that time, he had no time to talk to him, and the Bai family army was quiet and honest, so he never took him to heart.

Now, that young master has performed extremely well on the battlefield, and he may win a big victory this time. The emperor has always liked him, and he is afraid that he will give him a big reward.

To keep him in a stable position, I am afraid that the only way is military power.

Hearing this, Ji Qingyue had a bold doubt in her heart, she hesitated for a while, and asked, "Father, who is the reward you said the emperor wanted to reward?"

"You know me." Ji Chenyuan looked at her meaningfully.

Ji Qingyue was a little surprised: "Father, are you talking about Brother Xie?"

She also knew Xie Naiguo's surname not long ago, and Brother Xie was indeed on the battlefield. In the entire Xia Dynasty, the most powerful battle is at the border of Fanzhou.

And it just so happened that brother Xie was the general there, and in addition to the previous guess about his noble status, when she knew that Xie was the country's surname, she already knew it.

Xie Lingjing belongs to the royal family, and now that he heard Ji Chenyuan's words, Ji Qingyue understood.

"Father, brother Xie is from the royal family, right?"

Ji Chenyuan didn't hide from her this time, nodded and said: "He is the crown prince, the posthumous son of the most prestigious prince Mingyuan."

"Prince Mingyuan is the only successor trained by the emperor today, but unexpectedly, 17 years ago, he led his subordinates to solve the severe drought in the south. On the last day, he contracted it, returned to Beijing secretly, met bandits on the road, and was slaughtered to death."

Ji Qingyue was a little surprised: "Those bandits don't know that it's the prince's car? What's more, Prince Mingyuan still has such a high status, and there must be many capable people around him. It's impossible to beat the bandits."

"You questioned well. When this incident happened, the entire court was shocked. The emperor was furious and blood flowed like a river. Everyone who was involved in the matter of Prince Mingyuan was executed at that time, but Prince Mingyuan's life could not be exchanged."

"It's just..." Ji Chenyuan paused, "I suspect that the person who really hurt Prince Mingde has not been found out."

"Presumably the Crown Prince thinks the same way, that's why there is today's fight."

"Father, isn't Brother Xie in a whirlpool?" Ji Qingyue was slightly worried.

Although she knew that Xie Lingjing's identity was not simple, now that she was affirmed by Ji Chenyuan, she felt a little disappointed. Fortunately, Brother Xie was stronger than they imagined, so no accident would happen.

She doesn't have to worry about him now, she just needs to settle the matter of her grandfather.

Ji Chenyuan took a few glances at her, and Ji Qingyue's scalp became numb from his gaze: "Father, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Her voice hesitated, she put her hands on her face and wiped it several times.

Ji Chenyuan's eyes were deep, and he shook his head after a long time: "It's okay."

Seeing this, Ji Qingyue didn't ask any further questions, but she also understood what Ji Chenyuan said today.

"Father, do you want to say that the emperor will sacrifice his grandfather to help Brother Xie?"

If so, things might not be so tricky.

Her current ability is too weak, and she can only help her grandfather in terms of resources. If she wants to save her grandfather, she can make a deal with Brother Xie. Compared with other people in the court, Xie Lingjing is more familiar with them.

It's just that she doesn't hold out much hope until it's confirmed.

"Well, so I was thinking, if possible, we can cooperate with Xie Lingjing." Ji Chenyuan put forward his idea.

Ji Qingyue hurriedly asked: "How to cooperate?"

Although she has never been with her grandfather's family, they are relatives. Ji Qingyue has already felt the love from her relatives in Ji's family. From the memories, her mother's kindness to her is indescribable.

Mother wanted to go back to her mother's house even after she died, which was enough to see how much she missed her grandfather and the others.

Ji Qingyue knew that the Bai family definitely did not want anything to happen to her grandfather, and as her daughter, she should protect them.

Therefore, she seemed a little anxious at the moment.

After all, judging from Ji Chenyuan's description, the situation with his grandfather is not very good.

There is always the possibility of a crash.

Ji Chenyuan's deep eyes narrowed: "Your grandfather can't keep the Bai family army now, because the emperor believed that what happened to Prince Mingyuan had something to do with him."

"Because he was stationed closest to Prince Mingyuan's accident at that time, the emperor blamed him for being late in rescuing him. In addition, he really held a large army and was framed by others, which made the emperor hate him."

"If it weren't for his previous achievements, the emperor would probably have done it long ago."

"Since we can't keep the Bai family army no matter what, we can only find ways to make the situation more controllable."

"If Xie Lingjing is willing to cooperate with us, even if the Bai family army falls into his hands, it will be better than falling into the hands of other princes."

Ji Qingyue understands that this cooperation is very risky.

But it can save the lives of the grandfather's family and completely let them stand by Xie Lingjing's side.

It is equivalent to choosing to stand in line.

"Father, if you can use me, tell me, I'll prepare medicinal materials for my grandfather and the others now." Ji Qingyue whispered.

This is already the choice of Ji Chenyuan and the others, Ji Qingyue respects them, no matter what they choose, she will always stand with them.

"Well, you go, don't worry too much, I have already found someone to communicate with the crown prince."

"The food and grass you sent over this time may be an opportunity." Ji Chenyuan sighed.

Although he is smart, under the absolute imperial power, he can only choose what is most beneficial to him. As for completely solving the problem of the old Hou Ye's family, he has no good solution for the time being.

But fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and everything is proceeding according to his plan.

Ji Qingyue trembled slightly, her eyes drooped, and she suddenly remembered the tenderness in the way Brother Xie looked at her.

For her help, now, she is using him by doing so.

After talking to Ji Chenyuan, Ji Qingyue went back to her room.

She stayed for a long time and wrote a letter.

An Yi and An Ten had already stayed at Ji's house, Ji Qingyue found them, and handed over the envelope: "This is a letter to Brother Xie, please pass it on to him for me."
