Extra: Yingliu × Mo Duo (5)
"What on earth do you want to say!" The princess looked at Yingliu with gritted teeth. The anger of being toyed with made her face look a little hideous.
Ever since Yingliu appeared in Kyoto, in Prince Ning's Mansion, and in the eyes of everyone, she has become the lofty and unattainable brilliance. Everyone speaks well of her, and even she, the legitimate princess, is overshadowed by Yingliu.
Why!
But at this moment, the princess felt as if she had taken off all her clothes and was being seen by others in front of this woman, with no privacy at all.
The reaction of the legitimate princess made Ying Liu feel more at ease. Ying Liu smiled faintly, "What is happening today is a lesson for the past. Ying Liu just wants to tell Your Highness that throughout history, the reason why female emperors were able to ascend the throne was because of a prerequisite."
The four words "Empress, ascend the throne" made the princess completely pale and her heart was greatly moved.
Ying Liu pretended not to see it and continued to talk to herself, "That is, you have to be ruthless. In ancient times, there were empresses who ascended the throne and were willing to kill even their own flesh and blood in order to eliminate obstacles.
No matter if it is a baby in swaddling clothes or a prince who has been crowned as a king, anyone who is beneficial to her or who stands in her way, which one can she tolerate?
Watching a tiger fight from afar, Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the tiger?"
The princess was exposed and became furious. She raised her hand and slapped Ying Liu in the face, "How dare you!"
Ying Liu's head tilted sideways after being hit, and she chuckled softly, "Outrageous? Your Highness, since you dare to do such an outrageous thing, why get so angry? You should thank me, thank me for saying these words today.
I, a small criminal slave, know these things. How can I think those big figures who can make things happen with a wave of their hands know them?
Princess, don't be so naive. You think you can watch the fight from afar, but in fact you have become a knife in someone else's hand."
Yingliu looked at the legitimate princess.
"Or does the princess have the confidence to persuade Prince Teng to give up supporting the Second Prince and choose the more difficult path of her own? Since ancient times, the ascension of female emperors to the throne has always been achieved through bloody storms and countless difficulties .
How much benefit could this bring to Prince Teng?
Or, even if he supports you to ascend the throne, how can you guarantee that you will be able to sit firmly on the throne and not become a stepping stone for others? "
Every word Yingliu spoke was like a knife, cutting into the arrogant heart of the legitimate princess and breaking it into pieces.
But Yingliu and Moduo have been together for a long time and know how to behave.
She smiled and said, "Little did you know that the princess took me out of the capital at this moment. Wasn't it someone else's arrangement?"
boom!
Smart people are not scary, what is scary is those who are smart.
As long as you point out the point, she will have a hundred ways to interpret it, and in order to prove that she is a smart person, she will try her best to think about the question you raise in a profound and dark way.
Otherwise, why is the fortune-telling business always so popular and enduring?
I'm not afraid of not saying it well enough, I'm just afraid of not going deep enough.
There are always people who think that their brains are better than others and that they can always see through the fog and see the truth that others cannot see.
Having played with people's hearts, Yingliu closed her eyes and rested her spirit.
Judging from the expression of the princess, she was at least half successful. The princess would not deal with her according to the original plan.
The carriage jolted along for about half a day. As dusk fell, the princess suddenly looked at Yingliu and asked, "What do you want?"
Yingliu smiled inwardly, "I want to live."
The princess raised her eyebrows, "Is it that simple?"
Ying Liu sneered, "Simple? Her Highness the Princess is so high and mighty, how could she possibly understand the lives of slaves like us, who live from today to tomorrow?"
These words pleased Her Royal Highness the Princess greatly.
The knife had already stabbed the right spot, so Yingliu was not stingy with these sweet words to make people happy.
"Your Highness, you are of noble , blessed with natural advantages, and your abilities and means surpass those of several princes, so you may think my request is simple. But now, I am bound and imprisoned in your carriage. Life and death are just a matter of words from your Highness. For me, staying alive is the most important thing in life."
Having been treated so cruelly by Yingliu before, the princess was terrified and hated Yingliu's intelligence.
But now hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
No matter how smart you are, you are still controlled by others.
Ying Liu added, "Your Highness, I don't know who bewitched you, but you thought I was very important to the Crown Prince. You actually kidnapped me and planned to use me against him.
Now that I have said so much, I don’t mind saying anything more.
If the Crown Prince really cared about me, Your Highness, do you think that with his ability, I could be brought out so easily?"
Yingliu had no idea what happened when she was brought out. After all, she was unconscious at the time. But the princess was arrogant and Yingliu knew that this was the best way to talk to her.
As expected, the princess frowned. "He bought you back. Does that mean he really only treats you as a plaything?"
She didn't believe this. Moduo was very cunning, how could he do such a boring thing?
Ying Liu satisfied her curiosity, "Of course not to be a plaything. Your Highness is so smart, can't you guess why you bought me?"
The princess clenched her fists in anger at her words.
Ying Liu said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you eradicate the problem? That's why I was sold out in the first place."
This fabricated statement shocked the princess.
"Without His Majesty's permission, why does Your Highness think that the Crown Prince would get involved in the troubled waters of Prince Ning's Mansion for a woman like me?"
The legitimate princess was completely shocked by Yingliu. She had never thought that the problem could be considered in this way.
"You're talking nonsense. Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" She sneered angrily.
Yingliu shrugged. "Whatever you say. That's all I have to say."
"You..." The legitimate princess made Ying Liu furious. She looked at Ying Liu with red eyes, "Why should I believe you!"
Ying Liu said helplessly, "How would I know why Your Highness believes me? I didn't beg you to believe me. After all, even if I begged you, you might not give me a way out."
"Then why do you still say it?"
"Because I said, there might be a way out. When facing death, people always make a final effort. What if there is a way out? I have tried my best. As for whether His Highness will give me this chance, that is up to His Highness. It is beyond my control, so it is useless for me to worry about it."
What she said made the princess at a loss.
But she knew that it was impossible to take Yingliu directly to the horse dealer now, so she had to think about this matter carefully.
At the same time, Mo Duo, who was trapped by the second prince, received the news that Ying Liu was kidnapped.
Dungeon secret room.
Moduo was tied up to a pillar. His followers knocked down the people who were guarding Moduo and hurried forward to report what happened in Kyoto.
The man who was originally tied up immediately reached out and pulled free from the restraints, his face gloomy and full of anger.
"She's absolutely crazy. Even if she kidnaps Yingliu, even if she lets Father know that the Second Brother and I have an affair with these horse dealers, does that mean the Great Qi Kingdom will fall into her hands?"
The attendant whispered in Moduo's ear, "According to information gathered by spies in Kyoto, the legitimate princess may be the daughter of Prince Teng."
Mo Duo was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "How ridiculous! She probably had this delusion because she knew the secret. She doesn't even consider who Prince Teng is. If he really pushed her to the throne, would Prince Teng be willing to be a regent?"
idiot.
As long as she is His Majesty's only legitimate princess, no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, she will always be the noble and unrivaled Princess.
A lifetime of glory will benefit your descendants.
But if I follow Prince Teng in rebellion, no matter what the outcome is, it will probably not be a good one.
Only someone as self-righteous as her could do such a thing.
The only hateful thing is that this idiot has now kidnapped Yingliu.
"Bring people to raid this place, create the illusion of a fierce battle, and then escort all the survivors back to Kyoto. Then report back to Kyoto and say that I was transferred by the Second Prince during the fierce battle and my whereabouts are unknown."
After leaving an order, Moduo left in a flash, his figure disappearing into the dark night.
