Chapter 1410: Emperor’s Aura

Consort Xian pulled Jing Yi and asked about his well-being. After confirming that Jing Yi was fine, she left the three of them to talk and returned to Qi Xiang Palace to “educate” her daughter.
“What are you…”
The Marquis of Weiwu looked at the disheveled Xiao Zhonghua in confusion.
Xiao Zhonghua glanced at Jing Yi and said, “I just sparred with Cousin. Cousin went out to train and improved a lot.”
The Marquis of Weiwu raised his fist to greet his son. “You didn’t hold back!”
Baby Jing, who had been beaten up by his father, was speechless.
Xiao Zhonghua was in a good mood. He went to the study with the Marquis of Weiwu and his son and asked about Jing Yi’s experience on Thousand Mountains Island.
Jing Yi’s words were no different from Su Mo’s.
Wei Xu, Su Mo, and Su Xuan went to Thousand Mountains Island to chase after the mastermind behind Xiahou Yan. Su Xiaoxiao was captured. Then, Wei Ting and Jing Yi immediately chased after her to save her and chased all the way to Thousand Mountains Island.
“Wei Chen and Wei Qing…”
The Marquis of Weiwu asked.
Jing Yi said, “They went to the West Jin first and discovered Xiahou Zheng’s scheme there. They followed Xiahou Zheng to Thousand Mountains Island.”
The Marquis of Weiwu continued, “Is Wei Qing… really Zhuge Qing of the Western Jin?”
“Yes.”
Jing Yi replied without hesitation.
The Marquis of Weiwu frowned and looked at Xiao Zhonghua. Xiao Zhonghua’s expression was normal.
Actually, everyone had known about this long ago, but no matter how many times they confirmed it, it would always be shocking.
Wei Qing of the Wei family… was actually Zhuge Qing, the most valued advisor of the Western Jin Emperor.
He was not a powerful minister, but he was better than one.
Below one person, above ten thousand.
The Marquis of Weiwu said with a complicated expression, “The Wei family is not simple.”
“How’s Su Xuan’s martial arts compared to yours?”
Xiao Zhonghua suddenly asked Jing Yi.
The Marquis of Weiwu was stunned. Why did he suddenly mention this? Was the focus off?
Jing Yi said without changing his expression, “Of course, I’m more powerful! He can’t last more than three moves from me!”
The first move: Run.
The second move: Call Xiaoxiao.
The third move: Complain—Rakshasa hit me.
How could Xiao Zhonghua know that his innocent cousin had already been led astray by Wei Ting and the others and became as dark as a black sesame glutinous rice ball?
It was much easier if he couldn’t defeat Jing Yi.
In the future, if Hui An was bullied, Xiao Zhonghua would let Jing Yi teach that kid a lesson.
Of course, the premise was that he had to pass the emperor’s son-in-law selection in a month.
Hui An was his biological sister. He would not casually hand her over to another man.
At this moment, Jing Yi still didn’t know that he would face the dangerous situation of challenging Rakshasa in the future.
It was a fun moment to brag and a crematorium to fight.
Soon, someone from Consort Xian called Jing Yi over.
“Your Highness.”
After careful consideration, Marquis of Weiwu said solemnly, “Forgive me for being blunt, but the Qin, Wei, and Su families have long been tied together. They have enough troops and popular support in the Great Zhou and the two royal families in the Western Jin and the Southern Wilderness. Once they rebel… I’m not suspecting them. I just feel that there are some things that have to be guarded against.”
Jing Yi looked at Xiao Zhonghua.
Xiao Zhonghua smiled calmly. “Uncle, I want to ask you, with the Qin, Wei, and Su families around, do any other countries dare to invade the Great Zhou?”
The Marquis of Weiwu pondered and said, “Qin Canglan has already attacked the capital of Northern Yan. Northern Yan doesn’t dare to be enemies with the Great Zhou anymore. The Southern Wilderness and Western Jin are on good terms with the Qin family and the Wei family… As long as there are the Qin, Wei, and Su families, our Great Zhou can’t be broken!”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “That’s right. The Qin, Wei, and Su families are the strongest barrier of our Great Zhou!”
The Marquis of Weiwu said, “But—”
Xiao Zhonghua smiled. “Uncle, you’re worried that I won’t be able to withstand them if they rebel. The truth is indeed so. I don’t have the strength to resist the Qin, Wei, and Su families. In that case, why should I resist?”
The Marquis of Weiwu was stunned.
Xiao Zhonghua said, “Father has been guarding against King Nanyang and the Wei family his entire life, but what happened to Father in the end?”
Thinking of the Emperor Emeritus who was imprisoned in the bedroom, the Marquis of Might sighed.
Xiao Zhonghua continued, “If the Qin, Wei, and Su families had any objections, they would have rebelled long ago. There’s no need to wait until now.”
The Marquis of Weiwu wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhonghua held his hand. “Uncle, I want to be a good emperor, for the people and the country. If that day comes, I will apologize with my death and definitely not implicate my mother and the Marquis of Weiwu!”
The Marquis of Weiwu’s eyes trembled.
He suddenly realized that his nephew was not fighting for the throne because of his personal ambition. He really had his own aspirations.
He had already thought of a way out for the people around him.
Marrying Princess Hui An into the Su family could protect Hui An and Consort Xian.
He did not let Jing Yi befriend the Qin, Wei, and Su families to rope them in.
Instead, once the Qin, Wei, and Su families wanted to rebel, at least they would not make things difficult for the Marquis of Weiwu for Jing Yi’s sake.
He had expected the worst.
Emperor Jing Xuan had taken the wrong path. He would never imitate Emperor Jing Xuan. He wanted to give up on the emperor’s paranoia.
This was clearly dangerous.
But he had no other choice.
He placed his life and death together with the Great Zhou.
This was the first time the Marquis of Might felt the true aura of an emperor from his nephew.
He hurriedly stood up and took a step back. He lifted the hem and knelt on one knee. He cupped his hands and said, “I will definitely do my best to assist Your Highness! The Marquis of Weiwu Manor swears to live and die with Your Highness!”
–
Kunning Palace.
Princess Jingning, who had been arguing with Princess Hui An for the entire day, finally had peace.
Taozhi came over to clean up the dishes on the table.
Although her princess despised Princess Hui An, she prepared all her favorite snacks.
“Princess Jingning is tired, right?”
Tao Zhi said.
Princess Jingning said, “My neck is a little sore.”
Taozhi stepped forward. “I’ll massage you.”
“The Empress has arrived—”
A eunuch’s message came from outside the door.
Taozhi hurriedly turned around and bowed.
Princess Jing Ning also stood up. “Mother.”
“You guys can leave.”
The Empress said.
“Yes.”
Taozhi left with the palace maids.
The Empress walked to the master seat and sat down.
Jingning glanced at her and slowly walked over.
Although they were biological mother and daughter, their relationship was far inferior to that of Consort Xian and Hui An.
Between them, there was always a layer of orthodox rules of the royal family.
The Empress went straight to the point. “Have you heard about the selection of the Prince Consort?”
Princess Jingning replied, “I heard.”
The Empress said, “All the young masters of the capital will participate in the selection. Su Mo and Su Xuan of the Su family are also on the list.”
Jingning did not know.
Princess Jingning looked at the Empress in surprise.
The Empress said seriously, “The Qin, Wei, and Su families are at their peak. Sooner or later, they will rebel. The Crown Prince can’t beat them. If you marry into the Su family, you will only have something to rely on for the rest of your life.”
Princess Jingning retorted, “Does Mother have a heaven-reaching technique? How did she know that the loyal ministers of the Great Zhou would rebel?”
The Empress paused. “No, the Su family is also your best home.”
Princess Jingning said, “I know about Hui An and Su Xuan. It’s impossible for the Su family to have two consorts.”
The empress said calmly, “Why not? Taking ten thousand steps back, there’s really only one person who can marry into the Su family… Mother will help you.”
With that, the Empress stood up and left.
Princess Jingning stopped her. “Mother, aren’t you going to ask if I’m willing?”
