I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"Just to make the emperor afraid to attack her?"

Zhu Qiuqi shook her head. She felt that this was not the case.

"No, how could someone as smart as her do such a dangerous thing just for one reason? I'm afraid she has some other purpose."

"But what is the purpose, I can't figure it out for a while."

Zhu Qiuqi's thoughtful look made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and they also thought about what was wrong with this matter.

Everyone sitting here has been in contact with Rong Jiao, so they naturally know what kind of person Rong Jiao is.

To be honest, they don't believe that Rong Jiao is one of those stupid people who exposes herself to others.

In this case, what is Rong Jiao's purpose?

Even Xuanyuan Ke fell into silence at this time.

Rong Jiao has been in Dazhou for a long time. If she really has any bad intentions, she may be kicked away.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ke's expression suddenly darkened.

He didn't care at all about the little tricks Rong Jiao did in the capital, but if Rong Jiao dared to pay attention to the whole Zhou Dynasty, then don't blame him for being rude.

But if it was really as he guessed, Rong Jiao would have taken action by now.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have committed herself to Lao Ba and would have been just a concubine.

Zhu Qiuqi also said at this time: "The previous Rong Jiao was a princess who was personally rewarded by His Majesty. With a father like Prince Rong supporting her, her position in the capital will probably not be lower than that of those princes and nobles."

"Her marriage is probably a matter of opinion that attracts the attention of people in the capital. With her status, it is not an exaggeration to marry a prince and become his concubine."

"But Rong Jiao chose the Eighth Prince and became his concubine. That only shows that there is something between Rong Jiao and the Eighth Prince that cannot be told to others."

Zhu Qiuqi's words were like water droplets entering a frying pan, making everyone's eyes suddenly widen.

They didn't consider the Eighth Prince just now, and they just thought that the Eighth Prince was elected by civil servants.

Now that the emperor no longer favors Wencheng, the Eighth Prince no longer poses a threat to Xuanyuan Ke.

But they ignored Prince Rong behind Rong Jiao. If Rong Jiao really used Prince Rong as a trump card for herself, or even cooperated with Xuanyuan Jin, I'm afraid...

Pei Yuan and Zhang Siyuan both looked at Xuanyuan Ke with complicated expressions. After all, Xuanyuan Jin was targeting Xuanyuan Ke.

If Rong Jiao really has any thoughts that she shouldn't have, Xuanyuan Jin is indeed her best choice.

Before Xuanyuan Ke could speak, Rong Xiuyun stood up suddenly. Before Xuanyuan Ke could stop him, Rong Xiuyun knelt in front of Xuanyuan Ke.

"Your Highness, my father has no intention of rebellion. Please be aware of this."

No one expected that Rong Xiuyun would suddenly kneel in front of Xuanyuan Ke. Looking at Rong Xiuyun's expression, they were afraid that Xuanyuan Ke would misunderstand.

However, Zhang Siyuan and Pei Yuan can understand this. Rong Jiao has been in the capital for many years under the banner of Prince Rong.

Not only the princes and nobles in the capital, but also the emperor were very afraid of her, otherwise he would not have made her the princess.

But who would have thought that these were the lies Rong Jiao had been telling for years?

"My father sent her to Zhou Dynasty back then, but he never actively contacted her again. Even if Rong Jiao later wrote a letter hoping that my father would send troops, my father refused. But..."

Rong Xiuyun seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly turned ugly.

Looking at Rong Xiuyun's attitude, Xuanyuan Ke knew that Prince Rong was probably really being used by Rong Jiao.

After all, the communication between Baiyue and Da Zhou is not very convenient, and Rong Jiao is the biological daughter of Prince Rong. It only takes one sentence for her to accomplish this.

After all, my father had favored civil servants back then, and the generals who could stand up to Prince Rong either died or left the court.

Besides, Prince Rong's army is not that easy to deal with, otherwise his father would not have been afraid of him for so many years.

This is why after seeing Rong Jiao, my father believed that she was the hostage sent by Prince Rong.

But now that I think about it, Rong Jiao's words back then were indeed a bit strange.

Rong Jiaozhi said that she was the daughter of Prince Rong, and her father asked her to come to Dazhou to experience, and then let her become a bridge between Dazhou and Baiyue.

But he never mentioned that after Prince Rong sent her to Zhou Dynasty, he never contacted her again, nor did he say that Prince Rong did not ask her to come as a proton.

Such a hint not only gave a wrong hint to the Zhou courtiers, but also caused the emperor to misunderstand her existence.

Now after hearing Rong Xiuyun's explanation, it seems that Rong Jiao was just sent to Dazhou by Prince Rong, and she was not asked to do anything.

Moreover, Rong Xiuyun had said before that for Rong Jiao to come to Da Zhou, it was Rong Jiao who came to Da Zhou herself, not Prince Rong who sent her here.

In this case, Rong Jiao was probably planning to plot against Prince Rong from the very beginning.

After all, if she did this, the Great Zhou Hui would be afraid of Prince Rong, and sooner or later Baiyue and the Great Zhou Hui would meet in arms.

Prince Rong will also be forced to send troops. At that time, even if Prince Rong does not have any rebellious intentions, he will have to do so.

Seeing Rong Xiuyun's ugly face, Xuanyuan Ke said: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

Rong Xiuyun couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Rong Jiao was raised in the Li family before. The things she did are probably related to the Li family."

Xuanyuan Ke frowned when he heard Rong Xiuyun mentioning the Li family.

He had heard Rong Xiuyun talk about this Li family before, but he didn't know much about the family. He only knew that it was Rong Jiao's maternal grandfather's family.

Now it seems that the Li family behind this is quite ambitious.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ke couldn't help but sneered.

"Hmph, a small tribe from Baiyue dares to plot against our Zhou Dynasty. They are really ambitious."

Seeing Rong Xiuyun still kneeling on the ground, Zhang Siyuan said: "Your Highness, since Prince Rong has no rebellious intentions, we should inform him of this matter as soon as possible to prevent him from being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

Rong Xiuyun was stunned, thinking about her father who was still in Baiyue, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Although Rong Jiao has never been raised by his father since he was a child, his father did everything he should do for Rong Jiao.

As for Rong Jiao, if she jumped over the wall in a hurry in the capital, she might really mislead her father.

Thinking of this, Rong Xiuyun couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Ke.

Xuanyuan Ke nodded, "Get up first. Since Prince Rong has no such intention, my father will not misunderstand Prince Rong."

When Zhu Qiuqi first heard Rong Xiuyun address Xuanyuan Ke as His Highness, her heart skipped a beat and she thought she had heard wrongly.

But when she saw Rong Xiuyun plead guilty to Xuanyuan Ke because of Prince Rong, she finally guessed Xuanyuan Ke's identity.
