I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 277: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 23

Thinking of this, Ruoxi temporarily let the matter go.

While Yinsi was thinking about the people that Ruoxi mentioned, he had an idea in his mind. Seeing that the fourth brother Yinzhen was powerful, he couldn't just watch Yinzhen go on like this, he had to strike first.

Looking at Ruoxi, it seems that he really made the right choice to marry her. He was so happy that he blurted out, "Ruoxi, thank you for helping me. Don't worry, if I become the emperor, I will definitely make you the queen."

Ruoxi was delighted in her heart, but after being in this world for so long, she finally learned something. She didn't show it on her face, but she could still say a few appropriate words.

"Yinsi, don't say that. I will help you not only because I am your concubine, but also because I like you. I don't care about the position of queen. Don't say this in the future. Be careful that there are ears behind the wall."

Yinsi was touched. It turned out that Ruoxi was such a good woman. His inner thoughts immediately became more firm. He believed that his current wife was not qualified to be his queen.

However, Yinsi at this time had long forgotten that when he and his wife, Minghui, had just married for a few years, Minghui loved him in her heart. She managed the affairs of the mansion for him and won over many forces for him. Now, he simply saw through his scumbag nature and didn't want to waste their feelings, so he didn't help her.

After all, they had been married for many years, but he gave up on her without hesitation.

Ruoxi was only happy that he would be the queen in the future, but why didn't she see Yinsi's true nature clearly? Now he could give up Minghui without hesitation for the sake of his own interests, so there was no guarantee that he would not give up her one day in the future.

Yinsi is really not a responsible man.

In the original plot, although the Fourth Prince Yinzhen also likes Ruoxi, he is still responsible and rational. He will not abandon his wife of many years and make Ruoxi the queen.

After Yinsi left, Ruoxi finally couldn't control herself. When she thought about becoming the queen and the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty in the future, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

She wanted to share this good news with other people, but she didn't know who to share it with, so she could only walk back and forth in the room to calm herself down.

On the other side, Yinsi also acted quickly. He wanted to use those people to find some evidence against Yinzhen and then report it to the Emperor.

Now, because of the Baoyi incident, the emperor hates corruption the most. He believes that as long as the emperor knows about it, he will definitely punish Yinzhen. Maybe Yinzhen will never recover from this, and by then he will not be the most qualified to sit on the throne.

But he had no idea that Yu Ludai had been on guard against him for a long time.

There was such a scene in the original plot. After Ruoxi told Yinsi the names of those people, Yinsi used those people to seriously injure Yinzhen, but unexpectedly, Yinxiang took the blame in order to prevent his fourth brother from getting into trouble, and was imprisoned by the emperor in Yangfeng Alley for ten years.

Yinxiang had always been by Yinzhen's side. He was not only very good to Yinzhen, but also very good and respectful to her, his fourth sister-in-law. She didn't want Yinxiang to fall into that situation again.

So this time, Yinsi not only failed, but was also reprimanded by the emperor, who said that he was secretly stirring up trouble and being at odds with his brothers. Then he punished him, dismissed him from his post, ordered him to return home and reflect on himself, and was not allowed to leave the house without his permission.

Yinsi came with full confidence, but returned disappointed.

After returning home, he went to Ruoxi immediately. Ruoxi had not received the news yet and thought that Yinsi had succeeded. She was about to say congratulations, but she didn't expect that not only did she not get a thank you from Yinsi, but she was also scolded.

He said that Ruoxi pretended to know everything and deliberately gave him wrong information, causing him to make a wrong judgment, and was reprimanded by the Emperor.

Although she has been in this era for a long time, Ruoxi's nature has not changed. There is some madness in her character. When Yinsi said something to her, she said it back. Her voice was even louder than Yinsi's, and she spoke very fast, one sentence after another without stopping at all.

Yinsi was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone dared to talk to him like this. He felt a little surprised and very angry at the same time.

When Ruoxi said she was tired, Yinsi said, "You are really unreasonable," and left.

Ruoxi was left alone cursing. After she finished cursing, she felt a sense of grievance in her heart. Who was she doing this for? She had told him so much information, but he still failed. It was his own fault that he was stupid and useless. Why was he scolding her?

Everything she did was for his own good. Didn't he want to be the emperor? She was helping him. She wasn't trying to be the queen. Of course, her eyes didn't wander when she said this, which made it even more believable.

Yu Ludai did not exaggerate the incident of Yinsi framing Yinzhen, but consciously downplayed it. Now the princes in the court were fighting fiercely, and except for Yinzhen, the power of other princes was gradually suppressed.

If these princes were suppressed, then Yinzhen would inevitably stand out. The emperor is now old, and he does not treat his sons the same way as before. Instead, he regards these sons as enemies and is wary of them, fearing that they will seize his throne. So in order to prevent his sons from shaking his throne, he will suppress these sons.

If Yinzhen was the first to speak out, he would definitely be suppressed by the emperor, so it is better to keep Yinsi as a shield.

After Yinsi was driven away by Ruoxi, a few days later, he thought of Ruoxi's goodness again. He thought about it carefully and realized that the information Ruoxi told him was not wrong, but very accurate. He failed because he did not make a good plan, and he could not blame Ruoxi.

He also asked people to investigate how Ruoxi knew this information, but they could not find out anything. This made him defensive, but also made him see the benefits it could bring him.

If Ruoxi can tell him one piece of news, wouldn’t she be able to tell him other news?

Moreover, Ruoxi made him realize that she was different from the current women in some aspects, which made him very interested. Not to mention that she was so similar to Ruolan in the past, he still couldn't let her go.

So a few days later, Yinsi came to Ruoxi's yard again, and he quickly coaxed Ruoxi, and the two of them stayed together sweetly again.

Yinsi let Ruoxi lean on him and said, "The Emperor asked me to reflect in the mansion. I can't go out now and can't take you out to play. I can only take you to play in the mansion during this period of time."

Ruoxi is in a good mood now. She is not angry when she hears that he can't take her out to play. Instead, she feels sorry for Yinsi being punished by the emperor. She really wants to comfort him now.

After thinking for a while, Ruoxi said, "Yinsi, don't worry. Maybe it's a good thing not to go out now. Think about it, the other princes are fighting fiercely in the court. If you are outside, you may be pulled in at any time. You can rest in the mansion for a while. When you can go out, the court will surely be stable. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to you at that time?"
