When Wang Congzhi heard Empress Wang say this, he could only suppress the unwillingness and excitement in his heart. He had to admit that with the Wang family's current fragmented strength, they indeed had no chance of winning. Qian Danqing had completely defeated the foundation of the Wang family.
Although Beitang Xuan Wei was also unwilling, he had always listened to Empress Wang's arrangements and did not refute.
At this time, the voice of a servant came from outside. It was Young Master Mo who came back and asked to see Empress Wang.
"The grievances between Young Master Mo and Beitang Xuan Yang have nothing to do with us. They are just using us." When Empress Wang saw her brother's eyes suddenly light up, she knew what he was thinking and reminded him first.
Wang Congzhi said, "Only by using each other can we achieve our goals."
"You!" Empress Wang sighed, not knowing how to persuade her brother not to rush for revenge at this time. "Please invite Young Master Mo in."
Ye Zhen and Shen Yi came with Ming Xi.
When Empress Wang saw Ye Zhen, she guessed her identity.
Sure enough, seeing is believing.
"Empress, this is my mother, and this is Shen Yi, who escorted Beitang Yu back this time." Ming Xi introduced Ye Zhen and Shen Yi to Empress Wang.
"I have long heard of Princess Qin's elegant demeanor. Seeing you today, it is really outstanding." Empress Wang looked at Ye Zhen with a smile. She had heard about the deeds of the Empress of Jin Kingdom many years ago. Even if Lu Yaoyao was no longer the Empress, no one in Jin Kingdom could compare with her.
Ye Zhen had heard of Empress Wang before, but she didn't know much about her. She only knew that she was a woman who was not inferior to men. It was rumored that Empress Wang was rough and ugly, but she didn't expect the difference to be so big.
It turned out to be an elegant and plain woman.
It seemed that the person who spread the rumor hated Empress Wang very much.
After some greetings, Empress Wang got to the point. They both knew very well that they didn't have much friendship to talk about. Mo Mingxi came with Lu Yaoyao, there must be something else to talk about.
"Then let's get straight to the point." Ye Zhen said, handing a brocade box in her hand to Empress Wang. "This was given to us by Beitang Yu before he entered the palace. Please have a look."
Wang Congzhi and Beitang Xuan Wei came over and stared at the brocade box in Empress Wang's hand.
"It turned out to be the late Emperor's things." Empress Wang said lightly, not in a hurry to open the box. "Thank you for protecting the late Emperor all the way."
"Sis, hurry up and see what it is," Wang Congzhi urged.
Empress Wang said unhurriedly, "It's just a relic of the late Emperor. I'm just keeping it as a memento."
Ye Zhen looked at Empress Wang and heard that Empress Wang was trying to escape.
"Imperial Mother, take a look." Beitang Xuan Wei said in a low voice.
Empress Wang glanced at them and helplessly opened the brocade box. Inside was a bright yellow imperial edict.
"This is …" Wang Congzhi looked at the unopened imperial edict in excitement and disbelief.
Ye Zhen had been watching the changes in Empress Wang's expression, but saw that she was not excited at all, but a little resistant.
It seemed that he really didn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne.
"Imperial Mother, it's a posthumous edict!" Beitang Xuanwei said excitedly, "Imperial Father, in the end, he still …"
"What's the point?" Empress Wang put the imperial edict into a brocade box. She was not happy that Beitang Yu finally passed the throne to her son.
She would not be moved. What was there to be moved by?
No one knew Beitang Yu better than she did. He was betrayed by the Qian family before he remembered her and her son. He just wanted to use them to deal with the Qian family in the end.
He was unwilling, but he wanted them to pay for it with their whole life, even their lives.
"Don't you want to get back what belongs to you?" Ye Zhen looked at Empress Wang and asked.
"That's what I don't want." Empress Wang said lightly, "Tomorrow we will leave Dingdu City."
Wang Congzhi cried unwillingly, "Sister, with this posthumous edict, we can legitimately ask the court officials to help us. Why not try?"
"Imperial Mother?" Beitang Xuan Wei whispered.
"We don't need to do anything." Empress Wang said, "It's not necessary."
Ming Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Empress Wang. "Are you afraid or don't want to?"
"I don't dare and I don't want to." Empress Wang said frankly, "I don't want my son to be in danger again."
"But this is what he should fight for as a son." Ye Zhen whispered.
Empress Wang looked at Ye Zhen sharply.
"Although Beitang Yu is a bastard, he did die an inexplicable death. Beitang Xuan Wei is his son. No matter what, he must avenge Beitang Yu." Ye Zhen said lightly.
"When did he treat Xuan Wei as his son?" Empress Wang said coldly.
"That being said, you should ask your son what he thinks." Ye Zhen looked at Beitang Xuan Wei. "Is he willing to fight for what belongs to him, or is he willing to give up everything and live in seclusion with you?"
Wang Congzhi nodded. "Sister, even if you don't want to fight for it, they will not let us go."
"As I said just now, what are we going to fight for it?" Empress Wang asked in a low voice. "We have nothing."
"As long as you take out the posthumous edict, it will be your biggest weapon." Ming Xi pointed to the imperial edict in her hand and said.
Empress Wang looked at Ye Zhen calmly. "Princess Qin, why don't you be straightforward? What do you want?"
"Behind Beitang Xuan Yang is the Yuan Kingdom. We don't want to see Yuan Kingdom rise in the future. Also, Beitang Xuan Yang seriously injured our people. If we don't avenge them, our hearts will not be reconciled."
Wang Congzhi said, "Sister, Beitang Xuan Yang has just ascended the throne and wants to move the capital. He has offended many people. Moreover, I heard that he drove the Qian father and son out of the palace. At this time, Qian Xiyu must be very disappointed with him."
Beitang Xuan Yang suddenly changed into another person. If this goes on, he will certainly break with the Qian family.
As long as Beitang Xuan Yang breaks with the Qian family, it will be their opportunity.
"Mother, no matter what the result is, I don't want to leave Dingdu City like this." Beitang Xuan Wei said resolutely, "I must know how father died."
Empress Wang looked up at her son silently. "Do you really want to do this?"
"Mother, please help me." Beitang Xuan Wei said, "Whether it is for father or the Wang family, it is also for myself."
"Since you have decided, then … it's up to you." Empress Wang sighed helplessly.
Ye Zhen and Ming Xi exchanged a look. She said, "We can't guarantee that we will protect you thoroughly, but in any case, we will do our best to keep you and your son alive."
"Thank you." Empress Wang said lightly, "If it is done, what do you want?"
