Xie Limo nodded. “Yeah, I’ll be counting on you, my wife.”
These words delighted Yun Bixue. It made her feel like she was really a queen.
The house was filled with joy and laughter. It had been a long time since this house had been so happy, so Xie Limo was in high spirits as well.
Yun Bixue seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Will the imperial family not intervene if something happens to the noble families?”
Xie Limo nodded. “Yeah, trust me. As long as it does not affect the development of the capital, the imperial family will not care about it.”
Yun Bixue narrowed her eyes as it dawned upon her. “I get it. The noble families in the capital have been expanding too fast and developing too rapidly. This is a threat to the power and status of the imperial family in the first place. That’s why the imperial family was happy to see the fall of the An and Jiang families.”
Xie Limo added, “Yeah. Also, it is about time for the powers in the capital to be reshuffled. Do you know why the imperial family still let me come here to be an official despite knowing my identity as the heir of the Xie clan?”
These things were all too complex. Yun Bixue did not get it. Even if she had guesses in her heart, those were things that she could not just say out casually.
“This is called making use of each other and mutual restraint. I underestimated the current imperial family in the past. Their strategy is either to kill me in the capital whenever they have a chance to, or use me to reshuffle the political situation in the capital.”
Yun Bixue’s mouth fell open. “Their motives are blatantly obvious. Aren’t they scared that if you were really gone, the headquarters of the Xie clan will mobilize all their men to decimate the whole Country A in revenge?”
Xie Limo gave a small sigh. “That was what I thought at first. However, I understood later that Majesty Kang has a crazy thought in his heart.”
“What crazy thought?”
“Try to connect his experience with his love life.”
Yun Bixue remembered the story of Majesty Kang and his fiancée. They were separated under the pressure of the imperial family, and they eventually parted. She gasped before she said, “Does that mean, Majesty Kang even thought of ruining the entire country?”
“Yeah. He wants to use the power of external forces to bury his past love.”
Yun Bixue exclaimed in shock. “That’s too crazy! Is he even human? There are countless innocent citizens in this country. Doesn’t he know that?”
Xie Limo laughed resignedly. “Xue, you’re the only one who cares about the innocent citizens. The higher-ups involved in the political power struggle will never consider them. This is also why I think you actually have the feel of a queen.”
Yun Bixue’s complexion did not look good. She needed a strong heart to be able to take in all of these. Before this, she was merely an ordinary citizen and had a small social circle. It was only after she got together with Xie Limo that she slowly began to broaden her perspectives and become stronger and stronger.
No matter how strong her heart was, she still needed to absorb all this information bit by bit.
Xie Limo gently patted Yun Bixue’s back and said, “Xue, look at you. Are you feeling emotionally burdened again? I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t want to let your thoughts run wild. I’m telling you now because I want you to think more about various issues and situations. Don’t underestimate human nature.”
Yun Bixue took a brief moment to calm herself down. She looked up at Xie Limo and said resolutely, “Limo, I will do well.”
During this period, her heart had also been through a tough time. She also finally understood why the emperors in the feudal times still used war as a means to unify a country despite knowing that wars decimate people. It is because wars can only be permanently avoided when a country is united.
It was actually very hard to understand such a viewpoint without being in a position of power, which enables one to look at things from above.
Yun Bixue chanted in her heart, “Grandfather, I will become stronger and stronger.”
Only the strong can protect the people around them. She did not want to lose anyone else around her.
