Chapter 342: Blessing
Although the seventh kings’ actions were extremely covert, as long as they took action, there would be traces to follow. Moreover, Dingning was not a slow person, so she quickly discovered the clues.
Half a year…
Considering the speed of information transmission in ancient times, Dingning’s response was quite timely.
Not knowing what her father was thinking silently in his heart at the moment, Dingning frowned in thought, her expression somewhat solemn.
It is not uncommon for the royal family to try to extend their hands to the court. Over the years, my father has dealt with countless people with ill intentions, making the entire royal family tremble in fear. From being arrogant in the beginning to now not daring to breathe. Therefore, even if a smart person like the Seventh Uncle has any bad intentions, he should not act at this moment.
Ding Ning was puzzled and hesitated whether to take action against the Seventh Uncle and how to do it specifically. After all, no matter how you look at it now, the Seventh Uncle’s current activities in the dark are not what a subject should do.
If possible, Ding Ning did not want to hurt the relationship between her and her uncles, but she thought she would not hesitate to use the knife if the other party crossed the line.
Not to mention that this matter was very unusual, but Dingning found that after she finished speaking, her father did not react at all. He just smiled and told her to just watch.
“Just stand by and watch how your seventh uncle does it.” See how the other party manages, hides, and wins people’s hearts.
Dingning wanted to say something but hesitated. However, due to her long-standing trust in Ye Shuo, she did not say much, but secretly increased her vigilance.The Seventh Prince seemed to have sensed something, and his movements became increasingly covert. Even though Ding Ning tried her best, she could only catch a few clues.
In the past, Dingning had only heard about how fierce and dangerous the fight for the throne was among his uncles. Now she had finally witnessed with her own eyes the true abilities of her uncle.
In comparison, Dingning’s methods are still a little immature.
Dingning remembered that the Seventh Uncle did not seem to hold on to the end and was defeated early. She could not imagine how brilliant and talented the Emperor Taicheng, the final winner, must be.
But in fact, the IQ of his seventh brother and sixth brother is only comparable. There are many factors as to why his seventh brother lost. It is not a matter of ability or brains. It can only be said that it is a matter of time and fate.
However, it is always right to let this girl have more awe in her heart and be more cautious when dealing with the royal family.
Ye Shuo, who had been watching silently from the side, thought so and decided not to explain, and simply let Dingning continue to misunderstand.
After a while, the Seventh Prince saw that his eldest niece seemed to be unable to do anything to him. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, but he forgot that his eldest niece’s situation was very different from theirs back then.
The Seventh Prince is in a competitive relationship with his brothers, and it is almost impossible for them to unite. Even if they join forces, they are worried about stabbing each other in the back. The three Dingning sisters are different. Although they also compete, internal disagreements will only arise when there is no external threat.
You must know that only after the ownership of this world is settled, can they share the share.
Dingning was not the kind of person who wanted to save face even if she was waiting for death. Seeing that she could not defeat the emperor’s uncle, she immediately called her two sisters.
Only your biological parents would leave the kingdom to you, your biological uncle would not be so generous.
An Ning and Yong Ning were not vague when thinking about this. Faced with the pursuit and blockade of the three people, even the Seventh King was a little flustered for a while.
“Oh my, this actually suits his wishes.”
Seeing that his younger brother had been smiling happily during the court sessions for several days in a row, the Seventh Prince resisted the urge to roll his eyes and decided to double the amount of instruction for his most valued son when he returned.
Fathers and sons fight together, and the princesses are brothers and sisters, so they can’t lose, right?
Just when the seventh prince was barely able to settle down in the fight, good news came from Dingning, who had been married for a year.
The moment they learned that the eldest princess was pregnant, the female officials including Zou Wu became nervous. Xu Kui, who was far away at the border, even sent her personal soldiers to guard her safety at all times before Dingning gave birth.
It’s not their fault that they are so nervous. It’s just that the child in the eldest princess’ belly is too important to them. If they can’t protect the child successfully, once the eldest princess is in danger, it will be even more difficult to determine the heir. After all, no one wants an emperor who may die at any time during childbirth.
Once the princesses cannot sit in that position, everything they have gained now will be destroyed, and it won’t be long before they will return to their previous state.
Zou Wu and the others were aware of this matter, and naturally the others could figure it out as well. So it was not surprising that after the imperial physician left the princess’s mansion, Dingning was faced with wave after wave of assassinations that were many times more fierce than before.
Today, the evil spirits hiding in the darkness can no longer be suppressed and have begun to show their heads.
As expected, the ones that were cleared out in batches before were just small minions who couldn’t keep their cool. The ones right now are the real highlight and the biggest obstacle for the three princesses to ascend to the throne.
Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi wrote down their names one by one.
Just when Yao Zhi was thinking about how to take action without appearing abrupt, Ye Shuo circled out a few names. As he moved, Yao Zhi’s brows furrowed more and more.
These are people who cannot be easily moved…Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Even if they want to kill someone, they have to give a reason. They can’t be as casual as before. Otherwise, even Ye Shuo will not be able to escape the criticism from people all over the world.
Just when Yao Zhi was in a dilemma, she heard Ye Shuo say in a deep voice: “Don’t pay attention to these people for now, someone will take care of them in the future.”
Yao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something and looked at him.
The two looked at each other and noticed the look in the man’s eyes. After Yao Zhi confirmed it, she immediately felt relieved.
So that’s how it is. It seems he was well prepared.
“I understand.” Yao Zhi sighed first, then revealed a faint smile.
As for Dingning, a few days ago, right after the imperial physician left, An Ning and Yong Ning moved into the princess’s mansion. When they came, they only brought two confidants with them respectively, and did not leave any other belongings. They only wore some simple clothes and even threw away the incense they had been using.
The three sisters had a tacit understanding that An Ning and Yong Ning would never ask anyone else to help them with their three meals a day, from shopping to eating, and would never let the food out of their sight. Ding Ning would only eat food that had been handled by An Ning and Yong Ning. Even at night, one of An Ning and Yong Ning would have to stay in Ding Ning’s room to prevent any accidents.
The father of the unborn, the young master of the Marquis Xuanping family wanted to help, but his strength was really not enough. After watching the two princesses An Ning and Yong Ning stab the assassin who sneaked in without blinking an eye, the current prince consort immediately shut his mouth, willingly packed up his things and moved to the side courtyard temporarily.
At night, the two sisters lay on the same bed, back to back, feeling each other’s body temperature. In a trance, they felt as if they were in the mother’s womb, with umbilical cords wrapped around each other and blood mixed together.
In this world, apart from their father, mother and grandmother, the three sisters are the closest people to each other.
Seeing helplessly that ever since his eldest niece became pregnant, the sisters around her became increasingly close and united, protecting her tightly, the Seventh Prince could not help but sigh in his heart, this is not good.
If this trend continues, it will be very bad.
The Seventh Prince did not take action during this period, not because he did not want to, nor was it because he was so noble. Unlike his eldest brother who was a righteous man, the Seventh Prince would not hesitate to use some inferior means. It was just in case something happened to his eldest niece. Even though the emperor was just watching and did not seem to intend to intervene, the Seventh Prince could guarantee that the emperor would always be closely monitoring the movements of the princess’s mansion. Once he encountered a situation that the princesses could not handle, he would definitely take action. If the lives of the princesses were really hurt, the emperor would directly kill those who dared to take action. No matter who they were, they would never escape.
Just like when Princess Dingning was sent down to the underground for training in the past, the dangers that Princess Dingning encountered had all been screened by His Majesty. Only those that His Majesty judged Princess Dingning could handle would be put in front of the princess. Those that the princess could not handle would have been killed by the people arranged by His Majesty in advance.
Without the princesses’ knowledge, His Majesty trained them little by little, and only then did the princesses become capable of standing on their own feet today.
The Seventh Prince had long felt that the Emperor had had too much luck in his childhood. Now that he had seen with his own eyes what he had done, he realized that this man was secretly controlling everything and that all the outcomes were planned by him.
Including myself now, I cannot escape his control.
Thinking this way, the Seventh Prince naturally knew what could be touched and what could not be touched, so he did not dare to do anything about this matter. Therefore, when his most proud son could not help but come to him, the Seventh Prince just shook his head and did not respond.
Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to give in and felt that he could not let go of this opportunity, the Seventh Prince could not help but frown and his expression turned cold.
Although the other party was his most proud son, he was not his only son. It was not his son’s turn to comment on his decisions.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kuan felt cold and dared not mention it anymore.
Under everyone’s strict precautions, Dingning finally gave birth to a baby girl a few months later.
Ye Shuo, who had been sweating profusely when he received the news yesterday, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He sat up from the cushion in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and rushed to the princess’s mansion without hesitation.
Although he didn’t think there were gods and ghosts in this world, it wouldn’t be wrong to worship more at this critical moment, so Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi split up early in the morning. Yao Zhi went to the Princess’s Mansion to command, while he came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to ask his biological father, brother, and ancestors… Forget it, there’s no need to ask for ancestors, after all, there’s no affection for them, and they might even be as stubborn as those members of the royal family. It would be bad if they made things worse.
But he feels that his biological father or brother may not be enough. They are very patriarchal and may not give him this face. At this time, he should find the one who has the best relationship with him, is closest to him, is the youngest and most open to new things.
Therefore, the eleven-year-old young Emperor Xiaohui Ye Jin may become the biggest winner tonight.
Looking at the bustling incense burning in front of the tablet of young Emperor Xiaohui, and then looking at the other deserted incense burners, the young eunuchs who came to clean up the mess couldn’t help but gasp.
