Chapter 15 Contest
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't even care about the grievance for a while, and waited for the eldest princess' explanation with wide eyes.

The eldest princess said softly: "In the first month, the emperor passed away suddenly without any warning. He was supposed to restore the East Palace, but the crown prince was weak, and he had only been on the throne for more than a month. He couldn't afford serious illness, so he had to sit in King Xiang's place."

A few understated words describe the replacement of the throne in just one or two months.

For no reason, Xiao Yuzhuo could hear the shadow of swords and swords, thick and bloody.

Why did the good old emperor die?How come the crown prince was so weak that he didn't get sick early, but he couldn't get up from the disease not long after he ascended the throne?

The daughter of the princess already remembered what happened in the first month, but she only had Jing Yannian in her eyes, and she was insensitive to politics.The emperor changed, to her, it was just that the person sitting on the throne changed from the eldest uncle to the eldest cousin, and within two months, he was replaced by the fourth uncle.

Anyway, the emperor is still her uncle, and she is still the princess of Shouchang, that's enough.

"Can you see the attitude of your aunts today?" The eldest princess snorted coldly, "They didn't treat me with such respect and fear before."

"So the Xiao family is the minister of the former emperor's humerus?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.

The eldest princess glanced at her in shock, as if she hadn't expected her to grasp the key point so quickly, and sighed for a long time: "Suffering makes people grow, it's true."

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "Then what's the Xiao family's plan now? The prince is 'ill', but he won't just be so willing?"

The eldest princess shook her head, "The sage is wise and decisive today, the first prince is not in good health and can't bother you..."

Xiao Yuzhuo understood that although the fourth uncle had not been on the throne for a long time, but he had the skills to do all this in a short period of time, it must have been premeditated.The former crown prince is no longer in the limelight, and the Xiao family is a family that has existed for hundreds of years, so there is no foolish loyalty.

Moreover, a family of such a powerful family like the Xiao family doesn't care who is the emperor, the iron family, the flowing emperor.The emperor changes, and the aristocratic family lasts for a hundred years.

Therefore, if the emperor wants to obtain the throne, he must first obtain the support of the family.But after obtaining the throne, he wanted to weaken the power of the aristocratic family and centralize the power in his own hands, so as to get rid of the aristocratic family's interference and containment of the government.

"Now that the Holy Majesty is enthroned, the Xiao family has not contributed. The Holy Majesty wants to weaken the family, and the Xiao family is the first to bear the brunt. But because of the deep foundation of the Xiao family, the intertwined branches cannot be shaken at once." The eldest princess looked at her daughter's eyes, suddenly like Look at a grown-up, not a child.

Xiao Yuzhuo understands that there seems to be a game between the Xiao family and the Holy One, and neither can be careless.

"What's more, Jing Yannian is no ordinary general." The eldest princess gave her a deep look.

Xiao Yuzhuo was quite surprised by this statement. The princess knew everything about Jing Yannian by heart. His mother was originally a servant girl in the princess mansion, and he lived with his uncle on the farm. Appreciate it and promote it in the Habayashi Army.

Now that the Holy One ascended the throne, he ascended instead of descending, and became General Habayashi Weizhong.

Even so, he is only a fourth-rank military general, so it won't make the eldest princess look at him differently, right?
"Although his official rank is not high, he is a trusted confidant of the Holy Majesty, but a fourth-rank military general can directly report to the Holy Majesty. He can be called a confidant. If I really offend him, I will use my brother-in-law to ask the Holy Majesty. I don't know if I can do it." Can I help you?" The eldest princess sighed.

When Xiao Yuzhuo heard this, his whole body became cold.

Although the Holy One is her uncle, but a man who can do great things even his own brothers and nephews, would he care about her blood relationship?

"In order to get married, my parents have already become the laughing stock of Chang'an City... How can I drag the Xiao family to do my best now?" Xiao Yuzhuo staggered to his feet, "Don't worry, Auntie, I, I know what to do in the future Done."

I never thought that this would be the result.

Xiao Yuzhuo tripped over the mat on which he was kneeling before he stood still, "I'm going back, Aunt."

The eldest princess looked at her worriedly, "Did I scare you?"

Xiao Yuzhuo quickly shook his head and laughed, "Fortunately, Auntie told me, otherwise I don't know how much trouble I will cause."

Originally wanted to stay at Xiao's house for a few days, after hearing such words, Xiao Yuzhuo immediately returned to Jing's mansion regardless of his mother's persuasion.

It wasn't until she got home that she realized that Jing Yannian was at home.
