Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Jinming knew that Shi Yinsheng was unfathomable. He went out to do something this morning, and when he came back, this man had already come to his door.

Nan Jinming listened to a few words of the conversation between the two. Chu Xiaoran sat on the chair with a serious expression.

Yan Boxi listened to the entire conversation. Although she was still young, she found their conversation somewhat incredible.

The fact that Shi Yinsheng could say such words proves that she has had this idea in mind for a long time.

"What exactly does Shi Yinsheng want to do?"

Yan Boxi couldn't help but ask.

Nan Jinming glanced at Chu Xiaoran beside him. Chu Xiaoran had a serious expression. He certainly knew what Nan Jinming was worried about.

It is snowing heavily in Yu State now. Even if Nan Jinming wants to transfer people over, it is not practical. Moreover, the weather on the road is bad and avalanches are very likely to occur near the snow-capped mountains.

"My dear wife, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

"You can promise her."

Nan Jinming has not yet investigated Shi Yinsheng's background clearly. In his previous life, he had no chance to fight against Shi Yinsheng and was schemed against by a small Nanjiang.

"My wife..."

Chu Xiaoran was hesitant to speak. This was an act of treason. If his aunt knew about it, he would probably be charged with conspiracy to usurp the throne.

"She is right. You are the only one in the entire Yu Kingdom who is going to be the future king. Of course, if Xiahou Chun'an can give birth to her own child in her lifetime, then there will be nothing for you and me to do."

There was a complicated look in Nan Jinming's eyes. She had to plan well in her short life and think of all the escape routes for Chu Xiaoran.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Yan Boxi had no way of understanding Nan Jinming's meaning. His mind was not as flexible as his two brothers', but it was indeed unexpected that his master agreed with Shi Yinsheng's approach.

"The position of heir to the throne has been vacant for a long time. Even if Xiaoran doesn't come forward, someone else will recommend you and make you the target of public criticism."

Chu Xiaoran quickly reacted. It turned out that she was worried that no one would protect her in Yuguo. Just relying on her identity as a princess, although no one dared to touch her openly, they would inevitably plot some conspiracy behind her back.

"My dear wife, who are you suspecting?"

"It's His Majesty Feng Jun!"

Qingyu's voice suddenly sounded in the hall. He had stayed in the palace for a long time and was well-informed. Naturally, he knew the inside story.

"Qingyu?"

Chu Xiaoran bit his lip. He didn't let Qingyu follow him because she didn't trust him enough in her heart.

After all, Qingyu had lived with her aunt before, so if she leaked the news, people would be caught off guard.

"Please forgive me, Princess. Qingyu didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that the Princess just came back and she doesn't know the relationship between His Majesty and the monarch and his subjects. When the Prime Minister came to visit today, I saw that her face was serious and I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I followed her and listened beside her."

Nan Jinming looked at Qingyu in front of him with complicated eyes. He was so brave at such a young age. If he was caught eavesdropping, he would probably be punished. But he was able to stand up, which made people a little confused.

"Are you really not sent by my aunt to monitor me?"

Chu Xiaoran bit her lip. Although Qingyu had always been by her side and taken care of her when she was in the palace, it was still impressive that Qingyu had been able to survive so easily until now in a situation where living with the emperor was like living with a tiger.

"You just said it was because of His Highness Feng Jun. What does it have to do with Shangguan Yilin?"

Nan Jinming put his hands behind his back and looked at Qingyu who was kneeling in the middle.

Qingyu straightened her back and said, "Your Highness Fengjun's mother's family is the Prime Minister's mortal enemy, and the Shangguan family's influence in the court is everywhere, so it is naturally difficult for people to shake it. The Prime Minister must want to use Your Highness the Princess to find a way to defeat the Shangguan family."

"What's their grudge?"
