My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 147
Even if Qin He didn't say anything about this important news, Shen Yuan, a housewife and child, had heard about it from the outside world. This shows that the people are also very concerned about the opposition to Chu.

Emperor Qianyuan had eight sons and five daughters, and Empress Song had only one direct prince. However, the second prince was the first to be named Prince Shen. His biggest supporter in the court, Duke Anguo, fell again. No matter how you look at it, he looks like the one who was eliminated early. .

Of the remaining seven princes, the eldest prince, Prince Qi, is the son of the noble concubine De Gui. His maternal grandfather’s family, the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, is in charge of military power. The principal concubine is the daughter of the imperial concubine. With military power in hand, there is also a Qingliu faction in charge of the mouthpiece of the imperial court, so they can win the battle. Very big.

The third prince, King Wei, and the seventh prince are from the same mother. They are both children of virtuous concubines. Their maternal ancestral home is the Hussars General's Mansion, which guards the northern border all the year round, with 30 soldiers and horses at hand. In this aspect alone, King Wei is far superior to Other princes.

The fourth prince, King Yan, had a good concubine as his biological mother, and the Hai family of the Yongchang Bofu, his maternal ancestor's family. He was in charge of the water transportation of Yong Dynasty. His biggest advantage was that he was rich and powerful. He also had the secret support of the Taiwei Mansion, and he was also a strong competitor for the crown prince.

As for the fifth prince, King Chu, whose biological mother was Jing Bin, he was not born in the fifth-level magistrate of the state. He himself was relatively mediocre and had little support in the court. The fight for the legitimate heir could be said to be hopeless.

As for the remaining three princes, the sixth prince is seven years old, the seventh prince is five years old, and the eighth prince is barely three years old. Currently, he is not even qualified to serve on the throne and is not included in the list of candidates for the crown prince.

Shen Yuan carefully reviewed the situation of the princes in his mind, sighing secretly that the darkest moment in the "Year of Qianyuan" in the original text was about to come.

Since ancient times, there has been no path to inheriting the throne without "One general succeeds, and thousands of bones wither." How many nobles from aristocratic families have been crushed to the ground, and how many people have taken advantage of the situation and stood proudly on their branches.

As the close and powerful officials of Emperor Qianyuan, the Qin family was bound to be trapped in it. In the previous life, everyone in the family was executed. In this life, with her and Qin He here, they are bound to protect the Qin family and retreat.

Amidst the turbulent undercurrent, the Qin family ushered in a happy event.

The second young mistress, Mrs. Yao, is happy.

After giving birth to her eldest daughter Qin Zhiyi, five years later, Ms. Yao became pregnant again. The most excited person was Ms. Jiang, the mother of the second house owner, who was eagerly hoping that her eldest daughter-in-law's child would be a grandson.

Aunt Dong took her daughter out for a trip that day. She was very happy when she went, but when she came back, she looked a little wrong.

The servants thought that the master was tired and didn't pay attention. Madam Dong looked at the note that was stuffed into her daughter's purse at some point in the room, and her pretty face gradually turned pale.

She thought she had escaped, but she couldn't.

There was only a list of birth dates written on the note, and Aunt Dong read it by heart. Those were exactly the birth dates of her daughter.

The other party was threatening himself with his daughter's life. If he dared to betray his master and the organization, his daughter Qin Zhili might be killed.Aunt Dong was so confused that she didn't know what this group of people wanted to do with her again.

After sitting on pins and needles for three to five days, Aunt Dong finally left the house again and went to an embroidery and clothing shop that she had frequented before she got married.

In the secret room, she met the feared "Shopkeeper Lin", who showed a shuddering smile when he saw Aunt Dong.

"Oh... isn't this our girl Siyan? I heard that you are very comfortable as your aunt in Wenxinhou Mansion? Are you so happy that you don't even remember who your master is?"

Aunt Dong's body trembled slightly and she begged: "Shopkeeper Lin, I dare not forget my master's kindness. In this life, I would like to set up a longevity tablet and pray for my master every day. Now I just want to live a stable life. Can Shopkeeper Lin remember this?" In the past, Siyan paid a lot of love for the family, and let me go back?"

"Haha..." Shopkeeper Lin sneered, "Miss Siyan, I think you are confused because you are an aunt? Once you enter my 'Zhujin Tower', your life and death will be the master's. Either live or die, without any body." But retreat from this statement.”

Aunt Dong smiled sadly, "I know all the rules of my master, and Siyan is willing to return my life to my master in exchange for my kindness. I just hope that shopkeeper Lin can be accommodating and let my daughter go. She is only over one year old, so what?" I don’t even understand.”

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head coldly, "It seems that Miss Siyan still doesn't understand our master well enough... Have you ever seen him be soft-hearted? Anyone who dares to betray the Yongchang Sect will be killed without mercy, and the three clans will be punished. Miss Siyan, I advise you. It’s better to think twice.”

Aunt Dong looked desperate. After struggling for a moment, she said in a hoarse voice: "Master, what do you want me to do now?"

"Miss Siyan, that's right. Why bother with yourself?"

Shopkeeper Lin chuckled a few times, looking like he was used to it.

Then Fu Er whispered on the side of Aunt Dong's neck for a while and handed her a small white porcelain bottle.

Aunt Dong was shaky, and her hand that took the bottle was trembling.

After resting in the secret room for a long time, Aunt Dong managed to regain her normal expression, returned to the fitting room from the secret passage, and ordered her servants to pack two new clothes and return to the Qin Mansion.
