After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 115 The Mysterious Strategist
Ye Jin knew better than anyone that in this era of supreme imperial power, if the queen really wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Just like before, she dealt with those unarmed merchants and helpless grassroots people.
Ye Jin felt an unprecedented fear...
But she could only suppress her anxiety, maintain a humble attitude, and said vaguely: "Aunt Suying, I have no idea what happened in Huguo Temple today. What happened to the prince?"
There was a hint of anger in Su Ying's eyes, but Su Ying, who had been chatting and laughing with her in the afternoon, said sarcastically: "Miss Jin is so smart and claims to be a genius, can't she figure it out?"
In order to get information out of Su Ying, Ye Jin had been forcing himself to endure the humiliation. Now that Su Ying was still so cunning, he wanted to slash her face with a dagger...
Of course, this is just thought.
Ye Jin forced a smile on his face, took off the Lantian jade bracelet on his wrist, and stuffed it into Su Ying's hand: "Aunt, please tell me clearly."
Su Ying glanced at the table, which was in excellent condition and worth a fortune, and took it with a snort.
"It's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea. You sent that woman to the bed of the Regent. Today, the one caught cheating by the Third Prince and the Cabinet turned out to be the Crown Prince, and the identity of the Southern Border witch was also revealed by the secret guards under the Regent. The Crown Prince has gotten into quite a bit of trouble this time..."
"Also, the East Palace needs 100,000 taels of silver for its recent renovation. The Queen wants you to deliver the silver to the East Palace within three days."
In three days, she had to raise 100,000 taels of silver!
Isn't it to take her life...
After Su Ying left, Ye Jin was so angry that he threw everything in front of him to the ground!
Ye Jin said angrily: "It was her own idea to send the witch from Southern Xinjiang. Now that it has failed and implicated the Crown Prince, they in the Eastern Palace have made trouble for themselves and now they blame me?"
Ye Jin moved from Zhuijinxuan to the most remote east wing, where the furnishings were very simple and simple, and soon Ye Jin had nothing left to smash.
Seeing that Ye Jin did not smash anything again, Qiao Niang dared to step forward and said, "Miss, we just arrived in Kyoto to manage the Marquis's mansion, and we have already lost most of our family assets. If you take out another 100,000... then all your savings in Jingzhou over the years will be gone!"
It has been several months since Ye Jin came to Kyoto, but he has not made a penny and he has lost a lot of his capital.
Now even Qiao Niang began to wonder if the feng shui of Kyoto was bad and was unlucky for Ye Jin.
It was obvious that Ye Jin was doing very well when he was in Jingzhou before, but how come he is not as successful as before now that he has come to the Imperial City and has so many noble people behind him?
Ye Jin lost his temper, but he still had some basic rationality.
She knew that the Queen's attitude was tantamount to taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but Ye Jin had no choice but to be blackmailed by her willingly.
She knew clearly that not only had she completely messed up today's matter, but she had also implicated the Crown Prince. If the Queen broke with her, she and the Ye family behind her would have no chance of survival.
But now the Queen didn't want her life, she just wanted money. Ye Jin felt that she should be thankful that she was still useful...
Just when Ye Jin was thinking quickly about how to raise the money, he heard Qiao Niang come back: "Miss, Mr. Wen is here."
When Ye Jin heard Mr. Wen's name, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!
Compared to Su Ying, Ye Jin was more afraid of that gloomy strategist...
"Just say I'm not feeling well and don't want to see you."
As soon as Ye Jin gave the order, the blue-clothed strategist appeared behind them silently like a ghost.
Qiao Niang screamed in fright and almost attracted the guards of the Marquis' Mansion!
When Ye Jin saw Mr. Wen, his face darkened. After asking Qiao Niang to go down and close the door first, she looked at Mr. Wen and said in a cold voice, "Sir, coming uninvited in the middle of the night is not a gentleman's behavior."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wen smiled with an ambiguous meaning and said, "It's already urgent today, Miss Jin, you still want to talk to me about these unnecessary formalities? Wen thought that although the young lady is a woman, she has always been informal, just like... your mother."
When she mentioned her mother, under the flickering candlelight, Ye Jin's eyes clearly flashed with a hint of astonishment and vigilance.
Her hand had silently clenched the dagger in her sleeve as she looked at the unfathomable strategist in front of her.
Mr. Wen didn't seem to notice the defensiveness in Ye Jin's eyes, and continued to ask himself: "The wound on your face was caused by someone close to the Queen?"
"I know that the young lady has just arrived in Kyoto. Although she admires my prince, she always feels that the prince is weak now, and is not as powerful as the queen in the court. It is understandable that she plays both sides. However, if she is not careful, she will burn herself. Today, the young lady has tasted the harm of it."
"So, now it's time for you to make up your mind, girl. Who do you want to choose, the Third Prince or the Queen?"
"But in my opinion, the young lady has deep feelings for His Highness, and she also knows that His Highness is not an ordinary person. If that's the case, why doesn't she assist His Highness wholeheartedly? As for others, His Highness has achieved success and fame, so how far is he from the glory and wealth of the young lady?"
Mr. Wen's low and slow tone carried a hint of bewitching intent.
She traveled to ancient times with her modern memories. Her biggest bargaining chip was that she knew very well that after the death of Emperor Yonghui, the one who would eventually ascend the throne was not the powerful crown prince, nor the second prince born to Concubine Zheng who had been named King of Yue, but the seemingly unpopular third prince Lin Shaoshu!
Therefore, she tried every possible means to get close to Lin Shaoshu, just to leave a strong and colorful mark in his life before Lin Shaoshu ascended the throne, replace Xiao Xuetang, and become Lin Shaoshu's only queen...
But imagination is beautiful, and the difficulty of implementation is beyond Ye Jin's imagination. Just dealing with Xiao Xuetang is enough to make her anxious!
In the past, Ye Jin boasted that she could manipulate people's hearts, but in front of Mr. Wen, Ye Jin found out that she was so insignificant.
She looked down on these ancient people and felt that they were not as knowledgeable as she was.
But in these wise and cunning strategists, Ye Jin finally saw his own front line.
Ye Jin's expression changed several times for a moment, and finally he put the dagger back into his sleeve, looked at Mr. Wen and said, "So, what do you want me to do?"
Mr. Wen smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness has stockpiled an army in Taiyuan and needs 100,000 taels of silver to buy food and weapons. The young lady has great magical powers and will surely be able to help Your Highness solve his worries, right..."
There was only a dim light in the room, making the small interior seem even more cramped.
Mr. Wen looked around casually and said, "It's a pity that such a unique person like you is confined to this place. You... should be a phoenix flying in the sky, and the position of the mother of the country should belong to you."
Ye Jin suddenly raised his eyes and met the gleam in the middle-aged scholar's eyes. Under the swaying light, he looked like a ghost luring people to hell.
Ye Jin, who was originally undecided, made up his mind completely at this moment...
