Chapter 192 Relatives
Qiao Jinlan nodded.
She still feels at ease when he does things.
I have to say that Mrs. Zhao is very capable in doing things.
She didn't take them to the palace, but she took them to the princess's mansion.
"This is the Sixth Princess's residence." Madam Zhao introduced, "The Sixth Princess is the daughter of the previous queen and is not favored."
"The other princesses' husbands are all from noble families, only the Sixth Princess is a commoner."
"Once upon a time, the Sixth Princess was a very talented person, but later on..."
Qiao Jinlan nodded to show that she understood.
It would be convenient to contact the princess directly.
Mrs. Zhao and her group arrived at the princess's mansion, and after entering, they met the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess seemed particularly kind, with the dignity of a princess but no arrogance: "Madam Zhao, is there something wrong?"
Madam Zhao said respectfully, "Princess, I would like to introduce two experts to you."
The Sixth Princess looked at her in confusion.
Mrs. Zhao did not care to expose her own scars and talked about her family's affairs: "...I just found out that they actually believe in evil gods."
"It is precisely because of the power of the evil god that you can blind your eyes and allow all your conspiracies to proceed so smoothly!"
The Sixth Princess looked at Lu Yunxu and Qiao Jinlan in surprise: "You two, are you saying that... the people of my Ning Kingdom believe in evil gods?"
"It wasn't in the past, but it has been in recent decades," Qiao Jinlan said affirmatively.
If they believed in normal gods, those gods would have healed their injuries long ago with the power of faith. Why would they be suppressed miserably by evil gods now?
"Sixth Princess, think about it, have the people around you changed a lot?" asked Qiao Jinlan.
The Sixth Princess naturally knew who had changed the most, and that was her father.
Once upon a time, the emperor liked her very much, but I don’t know when he started to favor Concubine Shu.
She even took away her mother's power to manage the harem and handed it directly to Concubine Shu.
Even when her mother was seriously ill, her father was indifferent.
Clearly in her impression, her father and mother were extremely loving.
After the death of her mother, her brother's position as crown prince was not abolished, but it had been in jeopardy for many years.
My father has more trust in the fourth prince born to Concubine Shu.
Everyone knows that His Majesty prefers the Fourth Prince to inherit the throne.
Now, my father's health is getting worse and worse, and the court is becoming increasingly turbulent.
"You mean, the Fourth Prince and his men worshipped the evil god?" The Sixth Princess asked hesitantly.
"Yeah." Qiao Jinlan said.
The Sixth Princess thought for a moment and shook her head: "No one will believe me if I say this about Concubine Shu and the Fourth Prince now."
"Over the years, the forces in the court have been tied together with the Fourth Prince. They share a common interest."
"Royal brother... has almost become a dispensable person."
"In that case, let's help the prince take back everything he deserves. Wouldn't it be better if we could get back on the right track and put order out of chaos?" Qiao Jinlan said with a smile.
"But, the court..." The Sixth Princess was excited, but a little worried.
"The power in the court is not important, as long as the prince is still the prince. Legitimacy is the key." Qiao Jinlan said affirmatively.
"Princess." Someone stepped into the flower hall and called out.
When the Sixth Princess saw the person coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Prince Consort."
Mrs. Zhao stood up and saluted her husband.
Qiao Jinlan looked at the prince consort and said directly, "The prince consort's surname is Feng."
The prince consort looked at Qiao Jinlan and nodded: "Yes."
"I'm from Dazhen, my name is Qiao Jinlan. I just met my second uncle Feng Lizhen not long ago." Qiao Jinlan's words made Feng Xuanming tremble with excitement.
"You, you are... my aunt's daughter?"
Qiao Jinlan smiled: "Cousin."
She learned from her second uncle who were the people on her maternal grandfather's side.
She looked at Feng Xuanming's face and could tell that they were related.
Qiao Jinlan directly took out her mother's bracelet, which was owned by both her brother and sister.
Feng Xuanming naturally knew him.
He excitedly said to the Sixth Princess: "Princess, this is my cousin, my aunt's child."
The Sixth Princess smiled and said, "So she is my cousin."
“It’s fate.”
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see my cousin here." Qiao Jinlan felt really surprised.
The Sixth Princess had already been moved, and now, knowing that Qiao Jinlan was her husband's cousin, she had even more trust in her.
"Princess, what's going on?" Feng Xuanming asked.
The Sixth Princess told him about the matter, and Feng Xuanming asked, "Cousin, what do you think are the chances of winning?"
"There is no such thing as a chance of winning." Qiao Jinlan smiled slightly, "I will definitely win."
"If we don't win, everyone will die."
Qiao Jinlan said this with a smile, but it made Feng Xuanming and others feel inexplicably chilled.
They were all smart people and knew that Qiao Jinlan didn't say everything, and what she didn't say was most likely about God.
Those are not things they can ask.
"Let's go meet the prince." Qiao Jinlan said.
"It would be difficult to enter the palace. Why not hold a family dinner and invite my brother to come under the pretext that the prince consort has found his relatives?" The Sixth Princess suggested.
The Sixth Princess knew that her brother was depressed in the palace, so she often found reasons to let her brother come out to relax, or even stay for a while.
It is actually not normal that the prince is not in the East Palace but staying in the princess's mansion. However, for an insignificant prince, not many people care where he goes.
The Sixth Princess was very efficient. The next day, she invited the Crown Prince.
Of course, the prince knew that his sister had good intentions and wanted him to relax. In fact, after so many years, he had already let it go.
As soon as his father gave the order, he packed up his things and moved out of the East Palace.
However, the prince did not expect that this time his sister had prepared such a big "surprise" for him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The Sixth Princess asked curiously, "Are you too happy?"
The prince came back to his senses, slowed down, and then said with a wry smile: "This matter... is a little hard to accept."
"It's not hard to accept." The Sixth Princess advised, "Think about it, has your father changed a lot?"
"Why have you not been taken seriously as a prince for so many years?"
"The emperor's mind is hard to predict. Let's not try to guess what father is thinking." The prince said cautiously.
The Sixth Princess didn't care about that: "Brother, my cousin said that if we don't win, we will be suppressed by the evil god."
"If the evil gods suppress the righteous gods, our world will be destroyed."
"But the gods we have always worshipped have not changed." The prince still didn't believe it.
The Sixth Princess quietly pointed to the sky and said, "Something happened over there. The offerings that should have been made didn't reach the real gods, but were taken away by someone."
