Cao Yuqing saw that the maidservants and wet nurse were taking good care of the four children, and that some words were not suitable for the children to hear, so she walked slowly to the corridor with Qin Yining, hand in hand.
"If it were up to me, in the early years, if you and Wang Ye had the same heart as you do now, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much these years. It's a pity that you are both people who care about morality and can't bear to let the common people suffer. "
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes. He scratched the pillar beside him with his fingernails and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Perhaps this is how a person's personality determines their fate. Sometimes I think that if I had known that today's situation would occur, perhaps I would have persuaded Wang Ye earlier. We didn't choose to do this at the most advantageous time. "
"Sometimes I also say this to your father." Cao Yuqing put an arm around Qin Yining's shoulder. "Your father said that everything must first be accumulated before it can achieve a qualitative change. You and Wang Ye are both people who care about the common people. It's normal that you care about the common people's feelings. There are certain benefits to this. "
Qin Yining looked at Cao Yuqing in confusion.
Cao Yuqing tucked a loose strand of hair behind Qin Yining's ear and said gently, "When things develop to the point where you can no longer bear it, you will definitely be on the side of morality and morality. At that time, no matter how things develop in the future, and whether or not you have a lofty heart, things will be easier to deal with. At least there will be fewer obstacles for you to make a choice. "
Qin Yining nodded. "This is the only thing that is worth comforting right now. However, will we really be allowed to make a choice in the future? "
Cao Yuqing looked at Qin Yining strangely. "Do you have any other ideas?"
Qin Yining turned to look inside the room.
Cao Yuqing immediately understood what he meant. She held his arm and said, "Let's walk around the manor."
"Okay." The two left the inner residence. Qin Yining waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for the people around him to follow. They walked along a shady path and circled around to a more open area.
Cao Yuqing leaned against a tall catalpa tree and casually looked around. Then she looked up at the tassels hanging from the wide leaves. "Sister Yi, what do you want to say to me?"
Qin Yining knew that he could speak without worry. He said, "Aunt Cao, I've never mentioned this to anyone else. I can only tell you about it. "
Cao Yuqing smiled happily as Qin Yining treated her as someone she could confide in. She nodded and said, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. If you have any troubles, you can tell me so that I can help you solve them. "
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Cao, in fact, my father is right. Wang Ye has a lot of support among the people and there are many positive comments about him. In the future, there will definitely be a battle between him and Li Qitian. With Li Qitian's current financial resources and military strength, Wang Ye has a very high chance of winning."
"That's right." Cao Yuqing smiled and said, "Your father always said that the two of you are very thoughtful and have everything planned out. In the future, there won't be too many obstacles. "
Although her words were hidden, Qin Yining understood that when Cao Yuqing said there wouldn't be too many obstacles, she was obviously talking about ascending to that position.
"In fact, right now, what I want most is to live a peaceful life with my family together. It would be good if we could grow old peacefully."
Cao Yuqing was stunned and said in surprise, "Sister Yi, you seem to be interested in that position …"
Qin Yining lowered her head and pursed her bright red lips. She sighed and said, "That position is good, but a person who would change by 30% will also change by 70% when they reach that position. I can't say that people will never change, but once they reach that position, change will be catalyzed. I'm really a little scared. "
Cao Yuqing understood.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao had a very good relationship. They had gone through too many trials and tribulations together. Qin Yining had sacrificed a lot in this relationship. Because she was involved in Pang Xiao's life, the grievances and tribulations she had suffered were unimaginable.
Pang Xiao could give Qin Yining glory and wealth, but she would never be able to live a stable life. The only thing that a woman like Qin Yining cared about was that Pang Xiao was different from the men of this era. He was devoted to Qin Yining and never had any other thoughts. He did not take in concubines or mistresses.
But once she reached that position, it was hard to say what would happen in the future. Once a man woke up and held the power of the world, it was hard to guarantee that he would not look forward to getting drunk and lying on the lap of a beauty. And how many years could a woman have in her prime?
Qin Yining was beautiful, but she would eventually grow old. There would always be young, flower-like women who would appear to enrich the emperor's harem.
Qin Yining was not afraid of a turbulent life. She was afraid that people would change easily.
That would make her doubt whether her sacrifice was worth it.
Cao Yuqing held Qin Yining's shoulders tenderly and sighed helplessly. "Sister Yi, I understand your worries. But some things are already set in stone and cannot be changed. Just like me, I am only a concubine. "
"I know, Aunt Cao. I understand. Now that the world is like this, and if he really becomes the emperor, even if he doesn't like them, many women will appear by his side because of the balance of interests between the court officials. I understand all of this. I just... feel a little disappointed. "
"Don't think too much. No matter what, no one can replace your position. After all, you are the mother of four children. "
"I understand, I understand." Qin Yining leaned against the trunk of the catalpa tree behind her and sighed softly. "I just feel a little scared."
"Your relationship with Wang Ye is so good. If something really happens, it will be a pity." Cao Yuqing pondered for a moment and her eyes lit up. "Actually, with the current situation, as long as you shake your head, you can continue to live a peaceful life. Who said that one must rule the world after conquering it? "
Qin Yining shook her head and said, "Now, it is impossible to stop halfway."
Cao Yuqing fell silent.
If it wasn't impossible to stop halfway, they wouldn't have had to avoid Pang Xiao's subordinates when saying this.
Which of these people who followed Pang Xiao weren't doing it for their own future? Even if Pang Xiao didn't want to ascend to that position in the future, these people would think of ways to push him up. Because only when Pang Xiao became the emperor, they would have the merit of succeeding the emperor.
A person shouldering the expectations and future of so many people, how could they say no just because they wanted to? Not to mention other things, if they couldn't obtain the supreme power, no matter who ascended to that position, they wouldn't let go of a person with such high prestige in the military, right?
They all understood that they couldn't allow a second Li Qitian to exist.
Cao Yuqing pulled Qin Yining's hand and shook it. "Sister Yi, listen to aunt."
"Aunt Cao, please speak." Qin Yining looked up at Cao Yuqing.
Cao Yuqing said, "There's no such thing as perfect and flawless in this world. Everything goes according to plan. There's always something that doesn't go your way. Take me for example. I was born in a prestigious family, but I became a secret agent. As a secret agent, I had to be loyal to the emperor. I was arranged to marry someone I didn't like. From then on, every step I took was wasted. I actually spent most of my life living for others. "
"But Sister Yi, the objective reality is sometimes not something we can change by relying on manpower. Since we can't change it, we have to learn to adapt to it, accept it, and accept it with a smile. Only then can we control it. "
Qin Yining pursed her lips and nodded.
In these matters, Cao Yuqing was much more transparent than her biological mother. There were many reasons she didn't dare to tell the Sun Clan, because even if she did, she wouldn't get any relief. Instead, it would make more people anxious. Cao Yuqing was the same kind of person as her father. She was able to give her advice and comfort.
She understood these reasons. However, when someone was able to tell her in detail and sincerely think for her, this feeling really made her feel fulfilled.
"I understand." Qin Yining hugged Cao Yuqing. "Thank you, Aunt Cao."
"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for?" Cao Yuqing hugged Qin Yining back. "You're a sensible person. You might not not necessarily not understand these reasons. You're just worried about it. But don't be so pessimistic. Things haven't happened yet, so there's still a chance. Right now, what we need to do is to get out of the city and meet up with Wang Ye and the others. Everything else is secondary. Even if we have to worry about these things, we have to wait until we understand everything. "
"I was worrying for nothing." Qin Yining smiled.
Cao Yuqing smiled. "It's because I care that I'm worried." She held Qin Yining's hand and said, "Let's go back. We can't walk away for too long. "
Qin Yining nodded. He chatted and laughed with Cao Yuqing as they walked towards the main room.
Qin Yining took the children to play crazily in the fields for two days. They had originally planned to leave the city, but with Qin Huaiyuan's prior arrangements and Cao Yuqing's support, the group left the city in four groups. After disguising themselves, everything went very smoothly.
After meeting up outside the city, the group did not dare to delay and headed directly in the direction of Pang Xiao's army.

"Wang Ye! The scouts have already found the whereabouts of the wangfei's group. " Huzi rushed into the tent with large strides and reported to Pang Xiao, who was discussing countermeasures with Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan. His face was beaming with joy as if it was the New Year.
Qin Huaiyuan could not help but laugh. "Looks like their journey was quite smooth."
Ji Zeyu teased, "Zhixi was still worried earlier. I told you that Uncle Qin's plan would not have any problems." After interacting with each other day and night, Qin Huaiyuan's charisma had already infected the people around Pang Xiao. Ji Zeyu sincerely called him "Uncle Qin" in this life.
Pang Xiao blushed and said, "I was confused because I was too concerned. Father-in-law, I'll go welcome them. "
Qin Huaiyuan teased, "If I say no, you won't listen to me, right?"
Pang Xiao had already stood up and was walking out. Hearing this, he turned back and said, "Father-in-law, do you want to come with me?"
Qin Huaiyuan was stunned and then laughed loudly. As he stood up and walked out, he said, "You child, have you been with Sister Yi for too long? You're already so old, yet you're still acting like this."
