The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao sat on the second floor, listening to gossip.

While eating the dry beef in the bowl, he drank some hot tea.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but say, "You spared Liu Moyan's life and helped Pei Shuo. I hoped that these two would achieve the right result. Who knew they would end up like this?"

Then he sneered, "The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really more cruel than the other. The one who poisoned you said, was it the second brother or the third brother?"

While chewing on the beef, Xu Yao asked her in his heart: "I didn't expect you to be so gossipy. I thought you only had hatred in your eyes."

Zhao Xi chuckled: "Isn't this a rare opportunity to relax? Just chat for a while, nothing will happen."

After Xu Yao finished eating the beef, he said, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is the winner in this matter, and who is the ruthless one. There is no other choice except the Third Prince."

Zhao Xi disagreed: "Who can say for sure? Maybe the second prince was anxious to become emperor, so he attacked my father. The third prince took the opportunity to seize the handle and succeeded in taking the throne."

Xu Yao shook his head: "You are wrong. When I saw the emperor, I knew he would die soon. There were black lines on his nails, which was a sign of poisoning."

Others couldn't tell, but she had watched so many TV dramas in her later life that she could guess. The little black line on the other person's nails was not a sign of dirt, but a symptom of poisoning.

I don’t know why the imperial physician didn’t see it, or maybe he knew it but kept it secret.

Xu Yao suspected that the emperor had been poisoned for a long time and was about to die. As the second prince, he was the legitimate son of the queen and had done nothing wrong. Even if the emperor died suddenly, he was the most reasonable and legal heir.

He just needs to wait patiently for the emperor to die. Anything unnecessary will only become an obstacle for him to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, the Second Prince was not in a hurry about this matter. The only one who was really anxious was the Third Prince.

It was impossible for him to allow the second prince to inherit the throne smoothly. The only way was to deprive the second prince of his inheritance rights on the charge of regicide.

After hearing her analysis, Zhao Xi suddenly understood.

"If these people's minds on fighting for power and profit were used to govern the country, the people of the world would definitely be much better off than they are now."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "The two are not mutually exclusive. A prince can be cruel to his parents, brothers and sisters because the struggle for imperial power is inherently vicious, and it's either you die or I live. But this doesn't prevent him from becoming a wise ruler."

Li Shimin was able to place his father under house arrest and kill his own brothers and sisters, but his ability indeed made him an emperor unparalleled in history.

Another example is Zhu Di, who could pretend to be crazy and stupid to paralyze the enemy, and finally killed his way to the capital without sparing his nephew. Even many ministers were executed, but this did not prevent him from being a wise ruler.

There was also the battle for the throne among nine princes. The Fourth Prince Yongzheng, who was considered cruel and brutal, was also cruel to his brothers and sisters. However, he was honest and diligent, and was also a good emperor to the people.

"Then do you think this third prince will be a good emperor?"

Xu Yao smiled and said, "I don't know. It has nothing to do with me. I just want to go to Beichen as soon as possible, get the inheritance your sister left you, and completely wipe out the Yuanqing Sect. Only in this way can you reincarnate as soon as possible and no longer share a body with me."

She really felt annoyed because she shared a body with Zhao Xi, and many of her habits, thoughts and behaviors would be unconsciously controlled and influenced by the other party.

Zhao Xi is sometimes cruel and vicious to her enemies, but sometimes she is soft-hearted and kind like a girl.

These are things that Xu Yao, who has experienced the dark side of countless people's hearts in the end times, no longer has.

Zhao Xi's inexplicable kindness and compassion sometimes affects her and prevents her from decisively killing people.

Xu Yao didn't like this very much. After much thought, she decided that the best way was to quickly understand Yuan Qingzong and send this living ancestor away, otherwise she would always live under the shadow of this female ghost.

Zhao Xi: "I didn't want to, but the old man that day was really pitiful. He was in rags and came to his daughter's house just to have a meal. I couldn't bear to see him being pitiful, just like I was at the beginning. If my godmother hadn't been soft-hearted and taken me in, I might not have survived with my body."

Xu Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Miss, you really have never seen the evil in the world. You only see that the old man is pitiful, but do you know how he abused his daughter when he was young and sold her to others to pay off his debts?

When he was young, he sold his wife, sons and daughters for gambling. Now that he is old, he sees that his daughter is living a good life and forces her to support him. This is immoral, no matter what. "

Why didn't he raise his daughter when he was young, and even sold her? Now that he is too old to move, he still expects his daughter to support him and give him food to eat.

Zhao Xi: "I didn't know about it at that time, and I didn't interfere later, did I? Really, he was like that at that time, don't you feel sorry for him?"

Not only did she feel that way, but many people around her at the time also felt that the old man was very pitiful. They thought that the daughter of that family was so cruel that she could ignore her own father.

Xu Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Fortunately, the daughter of that family is clear-headed. She didn't accept her father and take care of him in his old age because of the moral blackmail of the people around her. Instead, she had a reason and evidence to explain how she was sold and how hard she had worked over the years. She also said that she was not the master of the family."

After hearing about the girl's hard work over the years, although some people still felt that there are no bad parents in the world, they also felt that the old man was really hateful.

In the end, the girl was also very smart. She asked people from the casino to collect debts from the old man. The old man fled in a panic. Everyone then realized that the old man owed a lot of gambling debts again, and wanted to sneak into his son-in-law's house to steal some valuables to pay off his debts.

This kind of thing has happened several times, and Xu Yao has witnessed the kindness and innocence in Zhao Xi's bones.

Sometimes she found it hard to imagine how she could maintain such a unique innocence when she grew up in a cannibalistic place like Yuan Qingzong.

After thinking about it, it was probably because her sister Zhang Yao really protected her very well. Before her sister died, she had never even killed anyone.

Half a year ago, Xu Yao used her knowledge of chemistry to create the illusion of setting herself on fire. Everyone saw that she was on fire, and the entire palace was also on fire. She was dead, and that was witnessed by everyone. No one would believe that Zhang Yao was still alive anymore.

After Xu Yao hid in, she changed into Liu Moyan's clothes, disguised herself several times, and hid in the dark.

She hid in the palace for more than ten days, and only left after the rumors died down.

She found the place where she had hidden her things, got the household registration pass, and finally escaped from the capital. Before leaving, she also confirmed that her godmother and the others had left the Liu family and had a place to stay. She was able to let go of the guilt in her heart and leave with peace of mind.
