Chang Li raised his head and looked at Fang Xiu with a scrutinizing gaze.
It was this strange sight, as if looking at a dead thing, that made Fang Xiu subconsciously frightened.
She said with a trembling voice: "Brother, what do you mean?"
She took a deep breath and recalled the words He Yi used to persuade her.
She couldn't help but feel a little more confident in her heart.
She said: "Brother, you know, although people like us are deeply rooted, if the emperor really makes up his mind, The fall was only a matter of seconds.
When my grandfather passed away, you had already severely offended His Majesty, and even brought the Fang family to the forefront.
Now, you finally have a chance to turn danger into safety, why are you not willing to try it?
" She unconsciously followed He Yi's example and said seductively: "My husband's mission outside the Great Wall this time is to make peace with the northern barbarians.
If it can really succeed, not only will the border return to peace, but even the trade routes will be reopened, and If you send a caravan to the north with your husband at this time, Fang will definitely gain huge benefits. " Her elegant voice was like a lark singing, with a bewitching meaning: "By then, Fang's dangerous situation can be relieved, Fang can also gain more friends, and you don't have to fight to balance the forces of all parties.
Your energy will be exhausted and your life span will be shortened.
This matter has both advantages and disadvantages, so why wouldn’t you do it?”
It wasn't until Fang Xiu said these words that Chang Li became a little more interested.
He looked at Fang Xiu calmly, and Fang Xiu couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The reason why he found it interesting was not because of what Fang Xiu said, but because of Fang Xiu's confident look.
When I first saw her as Fang Xiu, she still looked trembling.
She was completely unlike the eldest lady of the Fang family who dominated Jiangnan more than ten years ago.
But now, when He Yi was mentioned, her appearance completely changed. .
After all, marriage is so magical that it smoothed out all the edges and corners of a proud daughter-in-law and turned into a vulgar woman who obeyed her husband's orders.
Fang Xiu's nature is still like this.
She doesn't care about people who are willing to do good for her.
Instead, she takes that protection as a matter of course, alienates her, tramples on her, and treats things that are dismissive of her, but she cares about them.
Try to please Chang Li believed it was the latter, which could be seen from the fact that she was still willing to give birth to a legitimate son for Fang Xiu despite losing a child.
Sure enough, it was easy to get and no one cared about it.
From Fang Xiu's point of view, no matter how much Chang Li alienated her, he was still her brother.
If anything happened, Chang Li would definitely help her, so even if Chang Li Li gave up the order, but she still didn't take it seriously, because she was sure in her heart that Changli would not ignore her.
The same is true for He Yi.
If the process for him to get Fang Xiu was more difficult, Fang Xiu's situation today would not be so difficult.
Chang Li turned his attention to He Jin who was aside.
The seven or eight-year-old boy looked a little nervous at this time.
The arc of his pursed smile was somewhat similar to that of his father.
He was indeed a biological father and son.
He seemed a little tired, and closed his eyes gently.
The trembling arc of his long eyelashes was like fluttering catkins, but such a quiet look made Fang Xiu breathless for an instant, and she subconsciously held back her breath.
Ning Sheng did not dare to make the slightest sound.
It was only after a long time that he dared to ask tentatively: "Brother" Chang Li opened his eyes, and a hint of tiredness flashed in his cold eyes that looked like icebergs and lakes.
He said: "No need to say more, you can leave.
I don't want to entertain you anymore today."
After that, he left directly.
Although he was alone, his slender back didn't look lonely at all.
Instead, he had an air of ease and tranquility, as if there shouldn't be any unnecessary people around him. people.
Things developed so fast that Fang Xiu didn't react at all.
She stared blankly at Chang Li's leaving figure, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why did she become like this after just talking?
Obviously that's not what my husband said.

No matter how disdainful, angry, or angry her brother was about this proposal, he should not be in such a state of not caring at all.
Therefore, did he listen to what she just said?
In the end, the worried mother and son left Fang Mansion.
When she was invited out of Fang Mansion by the housekeeper who was distant but respectful, Fang Xiu's shame and disappointment almost surfaced.
Originally, she had planned to stay in Fang Mansion.
At the other end, Chang Li, who had returned to the inner room, leaned on the couch slantingly, his expression full of fatigue.
He recalled what Fang Xiu said about crossing out, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Although Fang Xiu has been hurt by the marriage life of more than ten years, it does not mean that he has also been hurt.
He is not even willing to accept Fang Xiu, so how can he accept He Yi's concubines and concubines?
He doesn't stupid As for what He Yi said, bowing to the emperor through peace negotiations, it was even more impossible.
Why is He Yi the emperor who is arbitrary?
If you go against my will, I will destroy all nine of your clans.
At that time, the Fang clan did not offend the emperor in a small way, but participated in the transition of imperial power.
How could this happen?
Maybe he was let go gently by the emperor.
The reason why the Fang family has been so prosperous for so long is all because the emperor has no power.
If the little emperor one day takes power, the first people to clean up the family will be the Jiangnan gentry headed by the Fang family.
And the last one, opening a trade route, is even more of a joke.
Not to mention that the Fang family has been in business for hundreds of years and has fertile land all over the south of the Yangtze River, but to say that a family with a scholarly reputation would covet the little profit from the trade route is like a big joke.
The Fang family, the leader of the dignified gentry, actually wants to seek small profits, so much so that if he loses his integrity and spreads the word, he will be ridiculed.
Moreover, no matter how far Jiangnan is from the border, Fang's hand can't reach there no matter how long it is.
Every place has its own rules.
As the rule maker, Fang will definitely not take the initiative to break the rules.
What's more, the matter of peace talks is nonsense.
The little emperor's nominal grandfather was taken away outside the Great Wall and there is no evidence of it yet.
If peace is to be negotiated, the previous emperor must be brought back.
By then, the position of the little emperor will not be guaranteed.
How could he do something so unfavorable to him whether he could survive or not?
So, to sum up, what happened this time was a huge fishing bait, the person holding the fishing rod was the little emperor sitting on the emperor's throne, and the prey was the Jiangnan nobles headed by Fang.
From the beginning, Changli saw this matter clearly.
How could he easily step into this clumsy trap?
However, He Yi did have some skills.
He was able to use the clan girl's advantage to get close to the current emperor and get him to put aside his grudge against He Yi's identity and trust him.
So much so that He Yi, who had wasted decades in the capital, Yi was able to get back on his feet
