If Zhao Changyu in the previous life had forced the emperor to abdicate and rebelled, where would he have borrowed the troops from?

It is impossible to go to the camp outside the capital, Zhou Cheng is her man, and Zhou Can is Zhao Zheyong's man.

It is also impossible to transfer troops from the south. If an army marches north in a mighty manner, there will be no lack of news in the court.

Although several neighboring prefectures had troops, the governors and county magistrates of those prefectures were always tactful and flexible, and they would not risk joining forces with Zhao Changyu to rebel as the overall situation was uncertain.

But apart from these places, where else can we adjust?

Jiang Yunxi bit her lower lip slightly and thought hard for a long time, but still got no result.

Or let Nan Nan check it out?

"Is Yunxi feeling better now?" Zhao Changyu suddenly changed the topic to Jiang Yunxi.

Hearing his own name, Jiang Yunxi suddenly came back to his senses, "I'm fine now."

"Your complexion is still a little bad." Zhao Changyu said in a light tone.

"That's not why she looks so bad," Jiang Xueyi said with a tone of disappointment, very dissatisfied with her performance, "I asked her to see if there was anyone she liked, but she refused. Changyu has been clinging to you since she was a child and listens to you, you try to persuade her."

Zhao Changyu's calm heart was slightly disturbed, and he spoke after a while, "There is no rush for this matter."

With Zhao Changyu's words, Jiang Yunxi immediately hardened up, "Yes. Why should I be in such a hurry? The emperor's uncle has not remarried in these years, so it is more important to find him a wife."

Jiang Yunxi felt that giving Zhao Changyu a beauty by his pillow should be able to please him.

"One is not enough. In addition to the principal wife, we should also take a few more concubines." She planned to arrange all of them for Zhao Changyu to show her loyalty.

Hearing this, Zhao Changyu changed the subject and said, "But it is indeed time for Yun Xi to see you."

"Huh?" Jiang Yunxi gritted his teeth secretly, thinking, "Why is Zhao Changyu's reaction different from what I expected? Why did you turn against us too?"

Jiang Yunxi and Zhao Changyu both tried to divert Jiang Xueyi's attention and prevent her from staring at them.

What a loving uncle and nephew!

Listening to Jiang Yunxi's words, Jiang Xueyi felt that it made sense. She nodded slightly, thinking that Zhao Changta's harem had many beautiful women, but Zhao Changyu's palace didn't even have a decent hostess.

How can this be possible?

If this was brought up by someone with ulterior motives, they would either say that the current emperor was harshly treating his younger brother, or that she, as a mother, did not care for her sons equally.

Jiang Xueyi asked Zhao Changyu, smiling, "Do you have a favorite woman?"

Zhao Changyu immediately stood up and knelt down, his tone full of determination, "No, I want to remain faithful to the late princess."

Jiang Yunxi nodded secretly in her heart, "Yes. She said the wrong thing. Zhao Changyu has a special affection for the former princess, which is why he has not remarried for many years. She just touched Zhao Changyu's sore spot, so naturally Zhao Changyu will turn against her."

Jiang Yunxi secretly sighed inwardly: "It's really hard to guess what this emperor is thinking..."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Zhao Changyu performed the retreat ceremony again.

Seeing that Zhao Changyu was so persistent, Jiang Xueyi had no choice but to let him go.

After all, the current emperor, Zhao Changta, is also a suspicious person. If Zhao Changyu has no offspring, it might be okay. But if he has many offspring, Zhao Changta is also worried that Zhao Changyu will come to grab the throne.

She and Zhao Changta are not biological mother and son, so anything she does will always arouse suspicion.

It’s better to do nothing and be honest.

After all, the Jiang family of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion no longer has the glory it once had.

Jiang Yunxi turned around and saw Jiang Xueyi looking at him with a smile, and he felt something was wrong.

"Yun Xi, take another good look..."

"Oh, grandma, my head hurts so much. I'm going to go back and lie down first." Jiang Yunxi held his head and pretended to have a headache.

After saying that, Jiang Yunxi bowed perfunctorily and ran away.

She was afraid that if she was a second late, she would be stopped by Jiang Xueyi.

As soon as she went out, Jiang Yunxi saw Zhao Changyu walking away slowly. She immediately lifted her skirt and chased after him.

"Uncle, Yunxi didn't mean to mention the late princess just now." Jiang Yunxi bowed deeply to Zhao Changyu seriously, fearing that Zhao Changyu would hold a grudge against her because of this.

Zhao Changyu said calmly, "It's okay, you can get up."

He felt that Jiang Yunxi had become much more distant and polite to him.

This feeling was just like the time when Jiang Yunxi saw him at the age of twelve. She did not throw herself into his arms and ask him to hold her up high, but instead bowed to him politely.

It made him feel very uncomfortable.

Zhao Changyu waited for a long time, but Jiang Yunxi, who had been chattering in his ear, did not speak.

He glanced at her casually.

Jiang Yunxi just lowered her head and looked at her toes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhao Changyu thought she was unhappy about Jiang Xueyi's choice of a son-in-law for her, and didn't know what to say, so he just asked her casually, "Are you not satisfied with the person chosen by the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Yunxi had been thinking about future plans and how to please Zhao Changyu. Suddenly, when Zhao Changyu asked her, she came back to her senses and answered him with a smile, "Of course I'm not dissatisfied. What my grandmother chose for me is naturally the best."

These words came from Jiang Yunxi's heart. She knew that Jiang Xueyi had carefully selected the person, and he must have good character and family background. Jiang Xueyi must have even taken the family situation into consideration.

There are no trouble-making mothers-in-law or sisters-in-law, no husbands who are not enterprising, and no poor scholars with low family background.

Jiang Yunxi couldn't find any fault with these people who were carefully selected from thousands of candidates.

Hearing this, Zhao Changyu's heart sank, and he felt quite uncomfortable as if the fruits in his orchard were picked by others.

"But I don't want to get married yet. I want to stay with my grandmother for a few more years."

After hearing this, Zhao Changyu nodded with satisfaction.

"But Ya'er is younger than me, and she has already been engaged. I am a little older, so I will definitely get married before her. I think His Majesty has taken this into consideration when he did not issue an order to grant Ya'er a marriage. I can't delay her."

Her tone suggested that she was going to choose a son-in-law.

Zhao Changyu pursed her lips and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

He didn't even notice that his palms were slightly sweating when he asked this question.

Jiang Yunxi suddenly spread his hands upwards, put them together, and stretched them towards Zhao Changyu, "Where's the thing?"

"What?" Zhao Changyu was suddenly startled by Jiang Yunxi's actions.

A small stone was suddenly thrown into the calm lake surface in my heart, causing ripples that lasted for a long time.
