Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 193 Frankness

"Then why did you speak for the Queen, allowing her to successfully plot against Concubine Hui? Didn't you have malicious intentions from the very beginning?" In fact, this is what Yuan Xu cares about the most.

[Okay, I admit that I just wanted to lend a helping hand to Queen Zhu so that the plot behind it could come true.]

Yuan Xu didn't expect Ji Nai to admit it so readily. He was stunned for a long time before he asked in disbelief, "Why?" Before Ji Nai could speak, Yuan Xu excused him, "Because you didn't know that the Queen wanted to deal with Cheng Qing, right?"

Ji Nai didn't expect that Yuan Xu still had illusions about him at this time. Ji Nai didn't know whether he should be happy that Yuan Xu trusted him or laugh at his naivety.

She was indeed afraid that after Yuan Xu saw the evil beast hidden in her heart, he would go away out of fear and leave her alone, but she never thought of deceiving him.

I just want him to find out slowly. After a gradual process, Yuan Xu should be more receptive. But now that he has asked, should I continue to avoid him?

Even if he escaped this time, what about the next time? And if he did this, wouldn't it really cause a rebound, causing Yuan Xu to be even more disgusted? So after thinking it over again and again, Ji Nai decided to confess.

[Admittedly, I didn’t know at the time whether the Queen was going to deal with Concubine Hui or Chengqing, but this was predictable after all, wasn’t it?

At the last flower-viewing banquet, since Concubine Hui dared to frame the Queen, she should be prepared for revenge.

As for me, it was because the Queen never did anything meaningless, and she suddenly showed courtesy to an elder who was previously insignificant, and I thought of the flower-viewing banquet, so I made some guesses.

But how could you think that I could not imagine that the Queen would hurt Chengqing to strike down Concubine Hui? 】

"But he's just a child. Even if he's not likable, he's still just an innocent child."

[Innocent? Isn't my Chengrui innocent? Isn't my Saiyinchahun innocent? And Changhua and Changsheng, I have buried so many children in this deep palace, aren't they innocent?

Yuan Xu, you have to understand that even ordinary people would fight over family property and get hurt. Not to mention, this is the most noble family in the feudal dynasty, whose property is the throne, the country, and the most tempting power in the world. 】

"So? Being born into such a family is a sin, and they deserve to be involved in power struggles at such a young age? They are so young and don't understand anything, but they have to fall into danger because of the desires of adults?"

[This is not a sin, but a price. There is no such good thing in the world. You only get the benefits but don’t want the crisis that comes with it.

They were born noble, raised in luxury, and enjoyed wealth and splendor that ordinary people have never experienced. Naturally, they also have to endure pain that ordinary people have never experienced.

"But this is wrong."

[Human nature is like this, what can we do? 】

"What about you? Would you do the same? Attack innocent people?"

[First of all, Yuan Xu, I am not a good person. Secondly, how do you define the innocence you are talking about?

Just like Yinreng who was not yet born, he was not innocent because he had such a mother. If he was still born this time and was made the crown prince, I would definitely take action against him, even if the fate of the deposed crown prince was to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. 】

"At least, don't hit the child. I hope you're not the kind of person who would tear up other people's umbrellas just because you've been caught in the rain."

[I won’t.] Ji Nai solemnly assured Yuan Xu: [I have experienced the pain of losing a child, and I will not harm pregnant women and ignorant children, but that’s all.

If someone else were to plot murder, I would not be able to stop it or save them. I might even add fuel to the fire like I did this time.

Yuan Xu, you should understand my situation. In such a quagmire, if I want to protect myself, I can only go with the flow. Unless one day, the mud and sand in the quagmire are cleared away and the bottom of the quagmire is clear again. 】

Yuan Xu knew that this was the biggest concession Ji Nai could make, but Yuan Xu still felt uncomfortable. All this was completely contrary to the education he had received.

However, Yuan Xu then thought, hadn't he hurt many people before under the coercion of the system? The situation at that time looked different from Ji Nai's situation, but it was so similar.

Because of the existence of the system, Yuan Xu has a sharp blade hanging over his head, threatening his life at any time. And in Ji Nai's life, there are dangers everywhere, and there may be poisonous snakes hiding everywhere that can harm people's lives.

In the end, Yuan Xu was relieved. Although she still disagreed with killing people, she could understand Ji Nai's situation and would not accuse Ji Nai of being cruel without being involved.

Sometimes, a strong counterattack is necessary. And Ji Nai is very cautious and basically won't take action, for fear of leaving traces.

After the two talked it out, the rift that had always existed was finally eliminated through the joint efforts of one party being honest and the other party being understanding.

Suddenly, Yuan Xu thought, "So why did you risk exposing your spiritual fluid to save the eldest princess?"

Although Ji Nai explained at the time that he had other thoughts, Yuan Xu still felt that Ji Nai was kind-hearted and could not bear to see such a young child die.

But Yuan Xu is not so naive now. If it is somewhere else, he can just help out, but that is spiritual liquid. Once it is exposed, there will be endless troubles.

Moreover, Yuan Xu still remembered that Ji Nai was planning to take over that hot potato and raise the eldest princess personally if necessary.

Although it's not nice to say this about the eldest princess, the queen at the time was eyeing her covetously, and Concubine Hui had just emerged and had not yet attracted most of the queen's hatred. The eldest princess's biological mother was also such a confused person.

[Oh, that. I just think that with so many princesses in the palace, it is less likely that Rongxian will go to Fumeng.]

Yuan Xu had just thought of several conspiracy theories, but he didn't expect the final reason to be so simple. Inexplicably, Yuan Xu felt a little disappointed. Okay, this is also good. Ji Nai, who is always thinking about the child, makes Yuan Xu feel more at ease.

【only……】

"what happened?"

【Nothing, maybe I felt it wrong. 】

Ji Nai always felt that this incident was a bit strange. It seemed that the queen was taking revenge, but in the end, both sides suffered losses. Was the queen really that stupid? She knew that it would arouse suspicion, but she still used the same poison?

After Yuan Xu knew Ji Nai's doubts, he said hesitantly: "Who knows, maybe the Queen wants to take advantage of other people's psychology of being in the dark under the lamp? The finger is too clear, it is very likely to be a frame-up. The more likely the person is, the more unlikely it is."
