Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

Xie Xin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

She really hadn't thought about this.

She originally thought that after what happened before, they were friends and could trust each other.

But on second thought, they seemed to have no basis for cooperation, no common interests, no leverage, no favors between them.

She herself didn't know why she felt that she could ask Yun Chuwei such a question.

She fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xin and said with a smile: "Why don't you tell me, Fifth Princess, what do you want to do?"

Xie Xin was silent.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yun Chuwei for a long time.

Yun Chuwei just smiled faintly and didn't express anything else.

Xie Xin couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how my mother died?"

Yun Chu was silent for a moment, then said, "I heard that Queen Wang personally executed him!"

Xie Xin nodded: "The Queen brought Nanny Wu and came to my mother with poisoned wine. How could my mother be willing to drink that wine? She resisted desperately. In the end, Nanny Wu held my mother down with force, and the Queen poured the poisoned wine into my mother's mouth with her own hands!"

She was in the house at the time.

She was bound hand and foot, gagged, and stuffed into a closet, and witnessed this scene with her own eyes.

She saw her mother's unwillingness, her mother's struggle, and her mother's pain.

But she could do nothing.

For a long time afterwards, she didn't understand why the queen wanted to kill her mother for some trumped-up charges, even though her mother was also a member of the Wang family and the queen's half-sister.

It was not until later that she found out that the crime her mother was accused of was actually committed by the Queen.

The clues pointed to the Wang family.

The Wang family members in the palace are either the queen or the mother.

Only when my mother dies will my father have pity on the Wang family and stop investigating further, and Queen Wang will be safe.

Later, out of guilt, her grandfather and uncle suddenly tried their best to be nice to her.

However, no matter how much they compensated her, it couldn't bring back her mother's life, right?

In fact, she did not hate her grandfather and uncle, she only hated the queen.

Because the queen had no regrets after her mother's death.

Instead, he often told her that his mother's death was an unforgivable sin.

She also said that she poisoned her mother to death in order to protect the Wang family.

She even said that it was because her mother was executed that she was able to grow up safely.

The queen thinks she is a fool!

How could she not hate it?

Yun Chuwei listened to what Xie Xin said.

When Xie Xin was silent, she reached out, patted Xie Xuan's hand, and whispered, "Go to my room and help me get my cloak. I'm a little cold."

Xie Xuan knew that Yun Chuwei wanted to get him away, so he agreed, stood up and left.

Yun Chuwei then looked at Xie Xin and whispered, "So, what are you going to do?"

Xie Xin looked at Yun Chuwei and said seriously: "I want Queen Wang to pay for her blood debt with blood!"

Yun Chu pursed her lips and whispered, "Queen Wang is from the Wang family. The Wang family will definitely benefit greatly from the crown prince's accession to the throne. The power in your hands comes from the Wang family. Even if you don't want to support the Wang family, they probably won't agree, right?"

Xie Xin narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "After my grandfather and uncle passed away, there are actually not many members of the Wang family left. Over the years, under my deliberate manipulation, the Wang family has basically been moved away from the core. I have the confidence and ability to control the people under me!"

She naturally knew what Yun Chuwei meant, but she had not worked in vain over the years.

She basically sent all the Wang family members under her command to her fiefdom. As long as they were willing to follow her, she would naturally keep them safe.

The rest of those who followed the Queen and the Prince were either too arrogant and looked down on her, or too ambitious and wanted to soar to the sky.

She wasn't very familiar with these people.

Xie Xin looked at Yun Chuwei for a moment and said seriously: "I have told you so much, I am very sincere, right? Now, can you give me a definite answer?"

Yun Chuwei smiled faintly and said, "As you thought, I don't like Xie Sheng being the crown prince, and I don't like him becoming the next emperor even more!"

Xie Xin was slightly surprised, but felt it was within expectations.

Yun Chuwei's performance was actually very obvious.

It’s just that most people just think that Yun Chuwei hates the prince because he refused the marriage proposal.

No one dared to think that Yun Chuwei was replacing the crown prince.

Xie Xin looked at Yun Chuwei and continued to ask: "Who do you like? Could it be..."

Xie Xin raised her head and glanced in the direction of her room.

Yun Chu smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter! As long as it's not Xie Sheng!"

Xie Xin was slightly surprised.

She originally thought that Yun Chuwei had such an idea because of Xie Xuan.

She didn't expect that this matter had nothing to do with Xie Xuan.

"So, you have a grudge against the prince?" Xie Xin asked in a low voice.

Yun Chu smiled as usual.

She nodded. "Yes."

Xie Xin suddenly laughed and said, "I have a grudge against the Queen, and you have a grudge against the Crown Prince. How can we not be considered to have a common enemy? Yun Chuwei, we have a basis for cooperation, right? Are we now in a cooperative relationship? Or do you need me to give you a token of my allegiance?"

Yun Chu smiled faintly: "Who would dislike a token of surrender?"

"Okay!" Xie Xin stood up and said, "I will come again on your grandmother's birthday. I will give you my token of allegiance then!"

After Xie Xin finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Xie Xuan appeared only after Xie Xin left.

He took Yun Chuwei's cloak and sat next to Yun Chuwei again.

He whispered, "Sit up and I'll put it on for you."

Yun Chuwei did not resist. She sat up straight and let Xie Xuan put the cloak on her.

She wrapped herself in her cloak before leaning back on the chaise longue again.

Now, it is already autumn and it is indeed a bit chilly at night.

Xie Xuan looked at the person leaning back on the chaise longue and seemed to sigh.

"Yun Chuwei, do you know that what you are doing now... is very dangerous..."

Xie Xuan reached out, grabbed Yun Chuwei's hand, and whispered.

Yun Chuwei let him play with her hands, and said in a gentle voice: "So what if it's dangerous? So what if it's not dangerous? I only do what I want to do!"

Xie Xuan sighed slightly.

He spread her hand, put it on his cheek, and whispered, "Yun Chuwei, do you want to do something that involves me?"

"Hmm?" Yun Chuwei was a little confused.

Xie Xuan approached Yun Chuwei, buried his head in her arms, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Yun Chuwei, does what you want to do include marrying me?"

Yun Chu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "For now, no!"

Xie Xuan was startled, raised his head and looked at Yun Chuwei, his eyes full of hurt.

Those eyes seemed to still be red.
