930: Chapter 924: Recognize Kin or Not?
Jin Zijin chuckled softly and lowered his voice, “Keep being stubborn, one day I’ll deal with you.”
“Mhm, I’m waiting!” Gu Youyou replied, not backing down.
They blew out the lamp and closed the window, then snuggled together under the covers.
The weather in the north was cold, but since the cold poison in Gu Youyou’s body had been cleared, she felt that the world had beco much nicer.
Even in the cold winter, warmth was everywhere.
A floor heater ward the room, and with the thick blankets, she started to sweat lightly.
Jin Zijin asked, “Did you receive sothing today?”
“What thing?” Gu Youyou asked curiously.
“Sothing from the palace.”
Gu Youyou paused slightly and said, “Are you referring to the jade pendant that Eunuch Wan sent?
Is it related to you?”
Jin Zijin said, “He ntioned he’d provide an explanation, so I guessed the jade pendant would end up back in your hands.
My mother has passed, and perhaps to so, this jade pendant no longer holds any significance.
The Dao Sect has encountered great calamity recently, and the political winds may shift…
Ah, the imperial court is not peaceful either.
That person always tries to balance the powers of various families and naturally wouldn’t want to stir trouble at this ti.”
Gu Youyou listened, half-understanding, and after thinking for a mont said, “I know you don’t like the Emperor, you even hate him, but I think you might be biased against him.
He showed favoritism toward the Princess and even brought back your mother’s remains, now he is overly affectionate toward the unattractive Empress Sheng and her son…
Also, regarding the Xiao Family, it seems like he’s trying to make ands.
You can’t fail to see that, right?
Maybe he just wants to make ands with you, and it has nothing to do with the Dao Family or the imperial court.”
Gu Youyou felt that what the Emperor did to Xiao Qinqin years ago was sowhat despicable; a man who sacrifices his wife and child for power lacks the ability to protect even a single family, let alone a nation.
But later, he seed to be genuinely trying to make up for it.
Everyone makes mistakes, isn’t there an old saying that knowing your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue?
Since it’s like this, why not give him a chance to make ands?
Lin Qianqing had once said that the general of the Xiao Family was directly promoted by the Emperor without any military achievents.
For an emperor, that wasn’t a rational choice; who knows what pressure he faced to make that decision.
“Let him think whatever he wants,” Jin Zijin said, sowhat annoyed.
Knowing that the damage wasn’t done overnight, Gu Youyou understood very well and didn’t continue to persuade Jin Zijin.
She only asked, “As for the matter of reclaiming your ancestral identity in the imperial court, how do you plan to handle it?”
Previously, they had feared they couldn’t handle Yu Jizi, and they didn’t even dare to dream they would reach this stage.
No one expected that Tian Jizi had already laid a trap for Yu Jizi, just waiting for this day.
Now, with both old n missing, presud dead or alive unknown.
Now, with the current state of Xuanzong, their entire hope hinged on the return of Yu Jizi.
Without him returning, they could only keep a low profile.
Yu Jizi had his plans and never grood Huo Li as his successor.
Without Yu Jizi, Xuanzong wouldn’t pose a threat anymore.
If they took this opportunity to withdraw from the Dao Family…
While Gu Youyou was lost in her thoughts, Jin Zijin broke the silence.
“The person who replaced my identity with Jin Fengzhao was never uncovered.
Back then, it was an old woman who brought Jin Fengzhao, discovered by Jin Moning’s people; that old woman has been dead for years, and Jin Fengzhao was too young to rember, so that matter also lost its lead.
However, I found it was related to the inner dealings of the Imperial Family, so naturally, recognizing my kin is still necessary.”
