Chapter 49
"Mother, the emperor is still in good health, isn't it too early to consider succession?"

Han Lingxi looked at Mrs. Dingguo with firm eyes.

Mrs. Dingguo received a good education since she was a child, and she is not a dull person, so she quickly understood what Han Lingxi meant.

"You mean to say that as long as the emperor has not written the imperial edict, we must keep a distance from the princes."

"Yes, Duke Dingguo's mansion is already prominent enough. We don't need the so-called meritorious service of the dragon. We just need to be loyal to the emperor. No matter who is on the throne in the future, he needs to rely on Duke Dingguo's mansion. The government will never lose its current status because it did not show favor."

Han Lingxi saw that Mrs. Dingguo had listened, and continued.

"If we get too close to the prince now, the Holy Majesty will think that he is not old yet, and his courtiers will start forming cliques to prepare for his funeral. Will he still trust Dingguo's government? On the contrary, If the Duke of Dingguo keeps aloof from the struggles of the princes, the emperor will believe that the Duke of Dingguo is only loyal to the emperor. In the future, the new emperor will not treat the Duke of Dingguo who is only loyal to the emperor badly, because he What is needed is such a courtier."

Han Lingxi finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of tea and breathed again.

Mrs. Dingguo obviously listened to Han Lingxi's words, and was in a daze when she left Han Lingxi's yard.

Han Lingxi had no way to tell Duke Ding that the crown prince would succeed him in the future, and everything now was just the emperor's plan. Can protect Dingguo government.

The next day, Han Lingxi went to Huguo Temple in a carriage at the gate of the mansion. Mrs. Dingguo led Han Lingxi's ten-year-old brother Han Zhiyuan to see her off. Said in a low voice.

"I told your father what you said. Your father thinks what you said makes sense. We will try our best to keep a distance from the princes in the future."

Han Lingxi showed a sincere smile and whispered back.

"Don't associate with other princes, but you can help the prince, after all, the prince is still the prince."

Mrs. Dingguo showed a puzzled look, but she still nodded.

Outsiders couldn't see what they were talking about, they just thought it was a whisper between mother and daughter.

Han Lingxi has four maidservants. This time, she brought Si Hua and Si Qin with her when she went to Huguo Temple, leaving Si Qi and Si Shu at home to take care of the yard. Si Qi is always a hidden danger, and it is too dangerous to take it with her. This time, Han Lingxi wanted to escape secretly, and it would be easy to expose Han Lingxi's whereabouts. If someone found out that Han Lingxi was not in Huguo Temple, it would be a matter of losing his head.

But Han Lingxi is not too worried about being discovered. She still has a system to ask for help, making people believe that Siqin in Huguo Temple is just a matter of spending points. What she is worried about is the points she has earned so hard. It's better to save some.

On the way, Han Lingxi told the guard that she had something to give to her mother, but she forgot to give it when she left, and sent Siqin to send it back. The guard did not dare to disobey the princess's order, so naturally let Siqin go back.

In fact, it was Han Lingxi who left the team. Siqin was similar in figure to her, and no one else had seen her before, so she and Siqin switched identities in order to escape.

After leaving the team, Han Lingxi went to the place where the bags and the carriage had been placed in advance, changed into men's clothing, and drove the carriage to Zhongjing County.
