The day after Yun Shang came back from the Song family, Song Zishu came over to give her the news. The second prince asked her to meet at Fengtian Teahouse three days later.This teahouse is owned by the Song family, and Song Ziyu and the second prince meet here every time.

On the day they met, Yun Shang went to Tonglefang first after leaving Yun's house, changed into a set of men's clothes, and then set off to Fengtian Teahouse.

When she arrived at the teahouse, Chu Zhi had already arrived and was waiting for her on the third floor.

"Miss Yun?" Chu Zhi didn't recognize the handsome young master in front of him at all, but the only one who could appear here was Yun Shang.

Yun Shang specially asked Xiao Lu to change her makeup so that no one would recognize her even if she walked on the street.

"Second prince."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard it.

Chu Zhi looked at Yun Shang and said, "If I hadn't known that the person I had an appointment with today was Miss Yun, I might not even have recognized her."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Prince, for attending the appointment today. I would like to discuss cooperation with the Second Prince." The two of them were not familiar with each other. Yun Shang did not use polite words and directly stated the purpose of her invitation to Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi has a kind personality and always has a smile on his face, "Miss Yun, please speak."

"I can convince my grandfather to side with the second prince."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed deep in Chu Zhi's eyes. He thought it was Xie Qing'an who had something to say when Yun Shang saw her, but he never expected that it would be the Xie family who wanted to help him.

Although the Xie family has long lost its former glory, and no one in the family is in the military, many of the military generals now are from the Xie family's old corps, and there are also some people who have a good relationship with Xie Qingping.

Even if it doesn't matter, those generals admire the Xie family the most.

It can be said that gaining the support of the Xie family is equivalent to gaining the support of those generals.

Chu Zhi knew that Chu Ming had been trying every means to win over the Xie family, and even wanted to use Yun Cang's hand to win over the Xie family.

But Xie Shao was unmoved and did not choose any camp. He also discussed with his staff that judging from the current situation of the Xie family, he would not participate in the matter of seizing the heir.

After all, the Xie family has few heirs, and only Xie Qing'an is left in this generation.

Xie Qing'an was in poor health, and the imperial doctor had already concluded that Xie Qing'an would not live to be 25 years old. As a result, the Xie family was cut off.Without heirs to pass on, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion would be gone.

Even if he assists the new emperor in ascending the throne and becomes a minister of merit, it will be of no use to the Xie family.

Yun Shang told him that he would persuade the Xie family to support him.

"What conditions does Miss Yun have?" Chu Zhi knew that Yun Shang's conditions would be difficult to meet, otherwise the Xie family would not get involved.

"Two conditions. I hope that after His Highness takes that position, he can keep the Marquis Mansion safe. Your Highness, rest assured that the Xie family has no qualms about the royal family."

"I believe that this is not a condition. Even if Miss Yun doesn't come to me today, if I can really sit in that position in the future, I will follow the ancestral precepts."

According to the royal ancestral precepts, if the Xie family has not committed an unforgivable crime, the Xie family's title will never be taken back and no action will be taken against the Xie family.

"Yun Shang believes in His Highness. The second condition is that I hope my brother's surname is Xie."

This was the condition Yun Shang wanted to negotiate with Chu Zhi.

No matter what Yun Cang chooses or what the outcome is, Xie Miaohui cannot take Yun Siyuan away.Unless Yun Cang voluntarily gives up and agrees to Yun Siyuan's change of surname to Xie and enter the Xie family tree.

Yun Cang is now Chu Zhi's man. If Chu Zhi ascends the throne, he can negotiate terms with Yun Cang and get Yun Cang to agree.

After all, Yun Sirui is doing very well now and can inherit the Yun family.

But if Yun Cang switches to Chu Ming and Chu Zhi ascends the throne, the Yun family will definitely be affected. Now that he has asked Chu Zhi for this condition, he can save his younger brother's life and let his younger brother inherit the Xie family's incense.

The Xie family couldn't be alone, so they simply chose a side.

Yun Shang talked with Xie Shao for a day and decided to support Chu Zhi and assist Chu Zhi in his rise to power in exchange for Xie Miaohui and Yun Siyuan returning to Xie's house.

Chu Zhi was stunned for a moment, but quickly figured it out.

If Yun Siyuan is listed in the Xie family tree, he can inherit the Xie family.Even if Xie Qing'an passes away one day, the Xie family will not be left without a successor, and Yun Siyuan can still inherit the hereditary title.

Letting Yun Siyuan return to the Xie family cannot be accomplished by relying solely on the words of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you, Second Prince. Grandpa sent someone to the martial arts conference this time and got some news. I believe the Second Prince will be interested."

The founding emperor of Da Chu had a deep relationship with his queen, and it was stipulated that the first son born to the queen would be the prince.Unless he fails to grow up due to physical problems, the prince is the crown prince and his status cannot be shaken.

While the prince is here, no other prince can ascend the throne.

But Chu has been around for too long. By the time of Emperor Chu Wen, there were countless examples of princes ascending to the throne.

The only thing that remained was the fact that the first son the queen gave birth to was a prince.

In addition to the prince Chu Ming, Emperor Chu Wen also had five other sons. The eldest prince Chu Hong is 21 years old this year, and the youngest fifth prince is 16 years old.After Song Zhaoyi's death, Emperor Chu Wen had no heirs.

Now among the six sons, only Chu Ming is married, and the other princes have no princes or concubines.The queen mother left this matter to the queen, who asked the queen to choose the prince's concubine for the other princes.

The queen held a flower viewing banquet in the palace, and on the sixth day of August, Yun Shang entered the palace.

Yun Shang heard about the queen choosing concubines for several princes. She was surprised that the queen would let her enter the palace.

When an envoy from the Southern Kingdom came to visit, Emperor Wen of Chu agreed to her request and agreed with her decision not to marry.Besides, with her current status, any prince marrying her would be a great help and a great threat to Chu Ming.

It was impossible for the queen to let her marry another prince, and neither would Emperor Chu Wen.

Why let her enter the palace?

When she arrived at the palace gate, Yun Shang was surprised to see Song Zishu.Based on her understanding of her uncle, she should not let Song Zishu marry into the royal family.

If Mr. Song did not agree, Emperor Chu Wen would not force him. Emperor Chu Wen had always taken good care of the Song family.

"Shang Shang, why are you here too?"

Song Zishu was also surprised to see Yun Shang.

Yun Shang shook her head. The queen would not let her marry any prince, but she invited her to the palace, fearing that she might take the opportunity to do something.

Zhuang Wanning repeatedly failed to assassinate her, so it was not impossible for the queen to come forward in person.

But she had to obey the Queen's decree. Fortunately, she had a trump card in her hand. If the Queen was really unfavorable to her, she could deal with it.

"Why are you here? Are you the second prince?" Yun Shang approached Song Zishu and whispered softly.

The person supported by the Song family is the second prince. It is not impossible for Song Zishu to marry the second prince. However, he had always wanted Song Zishu to marry to Jiangnan, so he felt surprised.

Song Zishu also shook his head, "I don't know either. I was also surprised when I received the Queen's decree."
