Chapter 515 Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood

Inside the bedroom courtyard, all the servants were looking at Yuan Yun and Nanny Sun.

In the end, Yuan Yun nodded to Nanny Sun.

Only then did Nanny Sun lead the group out of the yard along the wall.

Only Aunt Jing was worried and chased after him, but she just stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked inside.

Zhou Chang didn't want anyone to watch, so he walked past Yuan Yun, went up the stairs, and entered the hall first.

Yuan Yun was ignored, so she became even more angry. She grabbed a teacup and threw it against the south wall.

"Have you had enough of the trouble? If something is broken, I will not be responsible for repairing it for you." Zhou Chang felt something and turned back.

"What are these worth?" Yuan Yun was so angry that she shed tears.

Zhou Chang hadn't seen Yuan Yun for many days, but how could he be in a good mood after hearing the sound of things being thrown all day? However, when he saw the little girl's tears, he calmed down again: "Hey, come in with me, let's have a good talk."

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, then she put down the teacup and followed Zhou Chang into the bedroom as instructed.

Zhou Chang entered the main hall of the bedroom. He didn't want to talk much, so he didn't sit down, but just paced in the middle of the floor.

Yuan Yun followed in and saw Prince Yi with his back to her and remained silent for a while, so she asked, "Does the prince want to put me under house arrest?"

In ancient times, girls aged fourteen or fifteen were actually comparable to adults.

"Why do you say that?" Zhou Chang suppressed his guilt and looked over calmly, "If you want to go out and relax, no one can stop you."

Yuan Yun's breath was unstable and she was still panting. She pointed outside and said, "That Jing Xin, she sent people to follow me all day long. She was afraid that I would go out. She is the prince's nanny, so her words are naturally the prince's opinion."

Zhou Chang didn't want to deny it either: "As long as you can promise not to speak nonsense when you go out, you can go out."

"I want to see Concubine Yi. I want to go back to see my parents. I want to tell them that the prince bullied me." Yuan Yun repeated the same few words over and over again.

"If you really want to go and tell me, I won't stop you. But if you really want to die, don't blame me for not reminding you." Zhou Chang suddenly got an idea, so he picked up the nearest chair and sat down. "By then, although my reputation will be ruined, I'm afraid your Yuan Mansion will not be able to be saved either."

Yuan Yun naturally didn't believe it, and sat down opposite him: "I don't believe it, you are lying to me."

Zhou Chang first sorted out his thoughts in his mind, then he used the Big Bad Wolf's posture to lure Little Red Riding Hood and began to persuade her slowly and kindly: "Before, your brother said that you were very smart since childhood, but now it seems that may not be the case. Otherwise, some things are so obvious, but you obviously can't see them clearly."

"What?" Yuan Yun was of course not convinced.

Zhou Chang did not intend to tell him directly, but suddenly asked, "Before the wedding, did you hear that Prince Duan had a son?"

Yuan Yun didn't understand why he suddenly turned to Prince Duan for no reason, but he nodded anyway.

"Then, do you know why you and I were granted marriage?" Zhou Chang asked again.

Yuan Yunyi didn't think much about it and nodded again.

"You already know what my reputation is." Zhou Chang did not ask Yuan Yun to answer this question, and asked another question, "Since you are a favorite of Concubine Yi, why are you suddenly connected with me? Have you thought about it carefully?"

"I know." Yuan Yun still looked as if she knew everything.

"Do you really know?" Zhou Chang raised the corners of his beautiful phoenix eyes. "After Prince Duan's legs became incurable, Imperial Concubine Yi actually arranged a marriage between you and me. Do you really know what this means?"

Yuan Yun has always prided herself on being smart, and she grew up in a high-ranking official family, so what else could she not understand? "Before getting married, I already knew the pros and cons. What does the prince want to say?"

Zhou Chang shook his head: "I don't think so."

"The Imperial Concubine Yi was originally the highest-ranking Empress in the palace. Anyone who was not the Empress would be the Empress." Yuan Yun was also evasive and concealed, "Prince Duan was also the most likely to inherit the throne among the princes. It was a pity that an assassin in the Jingyang Hunting Palace set fire to the palace and injured his leg. Since he failed, the Empress had no hope, but it helped you and me. Isn't this what the prince wanted to say?"

"To help?" Zhou Chang sneered, "To help or to use? Can you tell the difference?"

Yuan Yun looked nonchalant: "Whether it's to help or to use, people who can be used are also valuable, which is better than having no value at all."

It turns out that there are people who are willing to be pawns. Zhou Chang sneered in his heart, but restrained his expression.

This should be the first time in two months of marriage that the two of them can sit down and talk about serious matters calmly, and she doesn't want to disrupt the rhythm.

"Why did you marry me? What did Concubine Yi promise to your Yuan family?" Since Yuan Yun was so straightforward, Zhou Chang didn't need to beat around the bush. "You married me in the hope that I could become the queen in the future, right? To be the queen, there is no problem, but I have to be able to ascend the throne. Don't get this order wrong."

"Of course I..." Yuan Yun was angry and unconvinced again, but once her "lifelong wish" was mentioned, she softened and forced herself to remain silent.

Zhou Chang achieved the initial effect, and then he tried harder: "You got married at such a young age, how can you understand what consummation of marriage is? It was others who told you that. What did they tell you? They just urged you to give birth to a son so that your position could be consolidated."

Yuan Yun had no way to refute, as Zhou Chang was right about everything he said, so she could only remain silent.

Zhou Chang paused, waiting for Yuan Yun to digest it before continuing: "But you haven't thought about it carefully. Your Yuan family is attached to the Gu family, and you are attached to Concubine Yi. Of course, it seems very good at the moment, but what about the future?"

Yuan Yun's face went blank, and she was a little confused.

Zhou Chang further inspired: "Think of the best, everything is as you wish. You and I have been married, and one day, if I ascend to the throne, you will naturally become the queen. Even if you take a step back, you also give birth to a son as your family wishes, but whose son will become the crown prince? But do you and I have the final say?"

"Why not?" Yuan Yun's brain obviously couldn't keep up.

Zhou Chang was really thinking too far, so he had to explain further: "Since I, the Prince Yi, was supported by the Gu family to ascend to the throne, then being the emperor is just a facade, and can your queen still expect to hold real power? By then, won't Concubine Yi be in charge of the harem?"

Yuan Yun opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

Zhou Chang had already guessed it: "Do you think that it doesn't matter even if it's like this, as long as you can be the queen?"

Yuan Yun couldn't close her mouth at all, but it was also equivalent to giving an answer.

Zhou Chang seized the opportunity to throw out a bigger bomb: "Even if you and I are willing to be puppets, do we really want to be the Gu family to keep making wedding clothes for others? Since ancient times, there has been the practice of 'brother succeeds brother' and the practice of adopting from the same clan. You are determined to have a son, but you have blocked other people's way. Whether you can give birth to a son, whether you can raise him or not, and whether someone wants you or not, are still unknown."

Yuan Yun's pupils constricted and she was in a state of confusion.
