Quick Wear: The scumbag is on the prowl, beware

Everything was pointed out by the old emperor, and it was time for the final decisive battle. Yuan Bai could no longer pretend and simply revealed his true strength.

Although the Second Prince Yuanfeng's strength was weakened in the previous fight for the throne, he should not be underestimated. Naturally, the ministers were not optimistic about Yuan Bai who did not have the support of his powerful maternal family.

When the two really faced off, they were surprised to find that Yuan Bai was not at a disadvantage.

Over the years, the Second Prince has been showing his talents and showing all his cards. Yuan Bai has been hiding under his spotlight, using the cover to develop his own power.

He used the power and money of the second prince to recruit soldiers for himself, which perfectly illustrates the saying "a barking dog bites"

The Queen never dreamed that she killed the palace maid, forced Yuan Bai into a desperate situation and then rescued him. She thought she had found a loyal dog for her son, but it turned out to be a vicious wolf.

Her son instead became Yuan Bai's shield. Not only did he secretly develop his power, he also used Yuan Feng to eliminate other competitors without losing a penny.

The queen was so angry that she vomited blood, and she was also terrified by the man's deep scheming.

If this boy is not eliminated, when he ascends to that position in the future, not only they and their son, but also their maternal family behind them will face a devastating disaster.

The two of them were completely at odds with each other. Although they were evenly matched in other aspects for the time being, they both set their sights on their marriages.

In ancient times, marriage was the fastest way to build relationships. Once there was an in-law relationship, it was like being tied to the same boat.

Dacheng emphasized civil officials over military officials. In addition, there had been no wars for many years, so military officers in the court were just a decoration who received salaries and had no actual military power.

Therefore, they both turned their attention to the head of all officials - Prime Minister Yun Zhihong.

It just so happened that I heard that his legitimate daughter Yun Jinxiu had reached the age of 15 last year, but had not yet found a marriage.

Yun Zhihong, this old fox, claims to be a staunch royalist and never takes sides in the fight for the throne, so he is highly valued by Emperor Yuan.

Anyone who can get Yun Zhihong's support will undoubtedly have a great chance of winning.

Apart from this, Yuan Bai himself has different feelings for Yun Jinxiu.

When Yuan Bai was twelve years old, in order to completely gain the trust of the Queen, he blocked the knife for Yuan Feng when he was assassinated and also led the assassin away.

During his escape, he would have died if he had not met a little girl who hid him and bandaged his wounds.

He was seriously injured and dying, and he only had time to ask the little girl what her name was.

"My last name is Yun, and I come from the Yun Mansion. You are seriously injured, so I will go and distract the bad guys chasing you."

After saying that, the girl ran out, leaving him with only a blurry back.

As far as he knew, the Yun Mansion, which is now the Prime Minister's Mansion, has always had only one young lady, Yun Jinxiu.

He had also secretly observed Yun Jinxiu in private, and her appearance was very similar to the one in his memory.

She was the only person, besides his mother, who had been kind to him without asking for anything in return during his childhood. He swore at that time that he would make Yun Jinxiu the most noble woman in the Dacheng Dynasty in the future.

Hearing this, Qi An and Fu Gui looked at each other and interrupted Yun Yan: "Wait..."

Fugui understood and asked tentatively: "The person who really saved Yuan Bai was you, right?"

Yunyan's eyes suddenly widened: "How did you know?"

Fugui smiled slyly: "Because it's written in the storybooks, nine and a half out of ten men who are rescued will be blind and mistaken for someone else, and in the end they will repay kindness with hatred and harm their own savior."

Qi An nodded and added: "Don't save men casually, or you will get into bad luck."

"Oh, you're so right." Yunyan let out a long breath: "If I had known this would happen, I should have hit him to death with a brick."

"It's okay, we'll take the photo for you when the time comes, just go on with your story."

Yunyan nodded and continued to tell the story.

Soon, Yuanfeng and Yuanbai came to propose marriage to Yun Jinxiu on the same day.

Yun Zhihong looked at the two princes sitting on his left and right in his living room and was suddenly in a dilemma.

The reason why he didn't take sides before was not because he was loyal to the emperor, but because he didn't want to take risks.

If you bet on the wrong horse, it will be no joke.

But now, it is obvious that the next emperor will be one of these two.

At this point, people have come to you and extended an olive branch. If you continue to pretend, you will really offend the next emperor.

After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers. He is now the head of all officials, but when the new emperor ascends the throne, that may not be the case anymore.

But the key is that if he agrees to one, he will offend the other, and he has to make a choice.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Zhihong bowed his hands and said, "I am grateful for your kindness, my Lords. Although this marriage is decided by my parents, I love my daughter and would like to hear her opinion. How about I reply to you Lords in a few days?"

"Of course, but Yun Xiang must consider this carefully."

Yun Zhihong sent the two away with a wry smile, then immediately turned around and went to discuss countermeasures with Han and his two children.

"That's the thing. This is related to the prosperity and wealth of our Yun family for decades to come. Whether the Yun family can move to a higher level depends entirely on Jinxiu."

"That's great, Dad. If my sister can become the queen, then we will be royal relatives. You will be the father-in-law of the new emperor, and I will be his brother-in-law. In this Dacheng Dynasty, our Yun family will be second only to the emperor and above everyone else."

Yun Jincheng's face was full of excitement and he said excitedly.

"Not only that, if Jinxiu gives birth to a crown prince with Yun family blood, then our Yun family will truly ascend to heaven in one step, and will be at the top for hundreds of years."

Yun Zhihong stroked his beard and thought more deeply.

Although Han was also confused by the scenes imagined by the father and son, she still asked the most crucial point.

"That depends on choosing the right person. If you choose the wrong person, the consequences will be..."

The father and son suddenly came to their senses. Yes, if you choose the right one, you will rise to the top, but if you choose the wrong one...

Yun Zhihong weighed the pros and cons, thought for a while, and finally said: "Although the Yin King seems to be quite powerful now, his foundation is still too shallow. In my opinion, it is more likely that the Feng King will eventually aspire to the throne."

The implication is to choose Yuanfeng.

"I think so too." The woman's soft voice suddenly interrupted.

The three of them turned their eyes to Yun Jinxiu who suddenly interrupted.

Han asked, "Jinxiu, what did you say?"

"Dad, Mom..." Yun Jinxiu's beautiful face flushed, "My daughter has long had feelings for Prince Feng. She said that I would be his only queen."

The three were shocked. They didn't expect that the two had already secretly communicated with each other.

"When did you come into contact with the second prince..." Han asked hurriedly.

"Last year, the palace held a spring banquet, and the Queen summoned me to her palace, and then... I met him."

"No wonder..." Han scolded, "I was wondering why you were always out last year. I showed you so many young men, but you were not satisfied with any of them. It turns out you already had someone you loved."

"Oh, mother, I dare not say it." Yun Jinxiu said coquettishly.

"Besides, he also told me to stay at home and wait for him to propose marriage, and now he has come."

Yun Zhihong had always been more inclined towards Yuanfeng, so he was happy to see Yun Jinxiu and Yuanfeng come to fruition, thinking that God had made the choice for him.

"Okay, then I will give King Feng a reply in a few days." Yun Zhihong made the decision.

But this matter is not without some risks after all. As I said, no one can guarantee success 100% until the last moment.

The saying "wealth and honor are sought in danger" refers to this kind of situation.

Yun Zhihong sighed: "It would be nice if I had another daughter."

After the words were spoken, several people were stunned, and they thought of someone at the same time in their minds.

It seems that the Prime Minister's Mansion does have another daughter.
