After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Chapter 253: Seeking the Skin of a Tiger is the Most Foolish Thing

After she was defeated, Wen Ke asked tentatively, "Does Wanyue think that Your Highness might inherit the current emperor's career?"

Shi Wanyue paused and asked, "What exactly does A Ke want to ask?"

"Wan Yue understands it in her heart." Wen Ke is also a vixen and doesn't understand.

Shi Wanyue met her eyes with a firm gaze: "Princess, His Highness is the king, and you and I are the subjects. This will never change."

"Wanyue will pretend to be ignorant of what the princess said today, and don't say it again in the future. No matter what the prince does, you and I should advise him well." Shi Wanyue picked up the chess pieces one by one, then stood up and bowed slightly to Wen Ke: "Princess, go to bed early."

Looking at Shi Wanyue’s straight back, she was as straight as a pine tree or a chrysanthemum.

Wen Ke curled her lips lazily. She was not surprised by Shi Wanyue's rejection. It would be unlike her if Shi Wanyue was so easily shaken.

If a person like Shi Wanyue meets a wise ruler, he will surely become a famous minister whose name will go down in history.

But if you follow a monarch like Wen Zhimiao, you will probably be buried.

Wen Ke sighed softly, what a stubborn girl! But she just admired Shi Wanyue's integrity and stubbornness.

The chess pieces in her hand were scattered on the board.

Wen Ke raised his eyes to glance at the moon which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, then slowly stood up and left.

The direction she was heading was not her own courtyard, nor was it Wen Rongxue's courtyard, but the courtyard where Wen Ziqiong was.

Under Lu Jiaoyue's tough attitude in the past few days, many bamboos in Wen Ziqiong's courtyard have been cut down.

The whole yard was no longer so depressing. It was quiet but not cold. Lu Jiaoyue took advantage of Wen Rongxue's power and forcefully cut down the bamboos.

Although Wen Ziqiong was dissatisfied at first, after receiving treatment for a few days, she gradually realized that Lu Jiaoyue was not bragging and that she might really be able to make her feel better.

In addition, this courtyard is already remote, so it would be just as quiet even without those bamboos.

When Wen Ke went there, the lights in the yard were still on. She walked straight in and knocked on Wen Ziqiong's door.

"Aunt, it's me, Ake." Wen Ke said softly while standing outside the door.

Soon the door opened and Wen Ziqiong was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing only a thin undershirt.

Wen Ke walked in and helped her push the wheelchair: "Auntie, why haven't you slept yet?"

"If you don't come, it's time to go to bed." Wen Ziqiong said softly.

"It seems that Lu Jiaoyue's medical skills are still good." Wen Ke said with a smile.

"As a disciple of Hong Yue, his medical skills are naturally not bad." Wen Ziqiong said indifferently.

Wen Ke was a little curious: "Why did Hong Yue's disciples want to enter the palace?"

"Who knows?" There was a letter on Wen Ziqiong's desk, and an unclosed book next to it.

Although Wen Zhimiao told Lu Jiaoyue that Wen Ziqiong was the patient she wanted to find when she entered the palace, Lu Jiaoyue did not tell Wen Ziqiong that they had known each other since childhood.

Lu Jiaoyue felt that it was unnecessary, and her obsession with finding Wen Ziqiong was simply out of her dedication as a doctor.

Now that the person has been found, we should focus on studying the disease. There is no need to say too much about other things.

"You'd better hurry up and receive the letter from the Wen family. I heard that Wen Jiuzhao has been in frequent contact with the old men of the Wen family recently. She has a good relationship with Wen Zhimiao and is praised by Su Qingluo. Many people think that Wen Jiuzhao is the best candidate for the queen in Su Qingluo's heart. If she really wants the throne, the Wen family will not support you." Wen Ziqiong said to Wen Ke.

Wen Ke opened the letter, which contained the current head of the Wen family urging her to obtain Prince Shun's military power as soon as possible.

He also urged her to join forces with the Duan and Su families as soon as possible to disrupt the situation in the south, and finally promote the people's uprising against the court.

"You should hurry up." Wen Ziqiong said to Wen Ke.

Wen Ke burned the letter.

"Aunt, mother..." Wen Ke finally hesitated. After all, she was the one who raised her, and Wen Rongxue also taught her a lot when she was young.

"You value her so much, but how important are you in her heart?" Wen Ziqiong sneered.

Wen Ke was silent for a moment.

"I..."

"Or are you like her, thinking that living in a safe corner is enough?" Wen Ziqiong asked her.

"If someone like Wen Zhimiao can become the emperor, do you think you are inferior to her?"

Wen Ke pursed his lips: "Aunt, I understand."

"I'll do it."

Wen Ziqiong nodded indifferently: "Just keep it in mind, go back and rest early."

Wen Ke bowed to her and then left.

After leaving Wen Ziqiong's courtyard, Wen Ke walked slowly back.

When passing by Shi Wanyue's courtyard, I stayed for a long time.

Then he sighed softly and left.

At this time in Shi Wanyue's room, a thin-looking figure was sitting by the window, with a jade flute on the table.

Shi Wanyue looked at the unusual moonlight, stroking the jade flute with her fingertips.

The questions Wen Zhimiao asked on the street today crossed my mind over and over again.

Shi Wanyue couldn't help but blushing as she thought about it.

But when I thought about where Wen Zhimiao was at the moment, I couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

She knew what Wen Zhimiao was going to do. She wanted to get in touch with the descendants of the high-ranking officials in Nanshao City and start to control the powerful people in Nanshao City from them.

Sometimes Shi Wanyue blamed herself for understanding her too well and not being able to be angry with her with a legitimate reason.

Shi Wanyue didn't wait for Wen Zhimiao to come back, but waited for Chu Qiu to come and report to her.

"Master, the master said that she has sent people to intercept the people from the Su family who are going to destroy the dam. The people from the Duan family will take away the food and grass, but the transfer of the people needs Master's help. And Master also needs your help to cover it up in front of Wen Ke, so that she will believe that this matter has nothing to do with the master."

"Well, tell her that the people of Lu Jin Kingdom are also lurking in the dark. They have been eyeing the southern part of the country. Sister Jiu Zhao sent a letter saying that the army of Lu Jin Kingdom has also made unusual movements. If it is not handled properly, it will lead to a war between the two countries. Lu Jin has been looking for an opportunity to start a war."

Taking advantage of the years when Tianqi was recuperating and when Huyanguo and Beirong were restraining each other, Lujin State worked hard to develop westwards and brought together many small countries in the west. Now its national strength has become much stronger. Although it has not directly gone to war with Tianqi's Central Plains, it has always been eyeing the south.

When Wen Rongxue was in good health before, the South was also a rock, and Lu Jinguo could not find any chance.

But since Wen Rongxue's health has been deteriorating, Wen Ke has gradually taken control of Nanshao, and at the instigation of the Wen family, he has had many dealings with Lu Jin.

Lu Jin's ambition seemed to be gradually expanding.

Su Jincheng and Wen Ke always feel that they can control their partners, but in fact they are the ones being controlled.

Shi Wanyue never thought there was anything wrong with being ambitious, but having ambition without ability can only be described as arrogant and stupid.

People don't know that Shi Shaoji, who looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, is actually arrogant and stupid at heart.

She was raised by Shi Guanchao, and they even have the same blood in their bones.

In the past, Shi Guanchao was able to make the Supervisory Council rise under the game of various forces and reached the highest position in the country. The word "kind" cannot be used to describe her at all.

Similarly, Shi Wanyue is definitely not a kind-hearted person. She is as cruel to her enemies as she is to her mother.
