Chapter 540: Secret Planning

Because Regent Yue Fuli took them to heart, he ensured that they no longer went hungry and that they lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The emperor was furious when he heard about this. If he had known this would happen, he would have stopped Yue Fuli from developing agriculture.

Now, with her doing this, what was his position as emperor? Could it be that he really had to abdicate in three years as agreed?

No, this cannot go on. Although the power is in Yue Fuli's hands now, the throne must not fall into her hands.

The emperor is plotting in secret.

Originally, he thought he still had time and could take his time. But now, he couldn't wait any longer. He felt that his chances of success were higher now that Yue Fuli hadn't become powerful. Once she became powerful, and even the court officials and the noble families sided with her, he would be truly finished.

Yue Fuli was fully aware of the Emperor's secret activities. However, since it did not touch her bottom line, she just watched it for fun.

But this time, he not only joined forces with court officials, he even colluded with Lou Yuchun, preparing to kill her with one blow. No wonder she was so cruel.

It seems that her previous plan to make the emperor abdicate voluntarily is no longer possible.

Yue Fuli knew their plan perfectly, but she didn't try to alert them. She was waiting to see if Lou Chenfeng would take sides.

She wanted to see whether Lou Chenfeng was on her side or on the emperor's side at this time.

Speaking of which, the reason why the emperor was so anxious and even got involved with Lou Yuchun was because of Lou Yuchun.

Lou Yuchun had always thought that the emperor was a waste and that the position would eventually fall into the hands of her son. But now, seeing Yue Fuli's sudden rise and her growing reputation, she felt that her son was getting further and further away from that position.

Therefore, she was eager to kill Yue Fuli and then deal with the emperor. Otherwise, she would never be able to sit on the position of empress dowager in her lifetime.

The emperor was also wary of Yue Fuli and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. The two hit it off immediately and quickly began to plan to get rid of Yue Fuli.

Lou Yuchun knew Yue Fuli was a skilled martial artist, knew she knew poison, and knew it would be difficult to kill her. Therefore, she and the emperor decided to start with Yue Fuli's family.

It just so happened that Yue Fuli's younger brothers and sisters had returned to the capital some time ago and were attending various academies.

The two thought it would be easy to capture a few children. Even though Yue Fuli had arranged for people to protect them, the emperor and Lou Yuchun's men were not incompetent. Dealing with a few guards should be a piece of cake.

Lou Yuchun didn't tell her son about this, fearing he might do something bad. But after being held hostage by his mother time and time again, Lou Chenfeng finally learned his lesson and bribed the people around her.

Therefore, Lou Chenfeng soon found out that they were planning to plot against Yue Fuli. How could he accept that his mother wanted to kill Yue Fuli?

He didn't say that Yue Fuli was the girl he liked. He only said that since Yue Fuli became the regent, everyone from the court to the common people had a better future. She even did things that many emperors couldn't do. He felt that Yue Fuli was the most suitable person to sit in that position.

He believed that as long as Yue Fuli became the emperor, the people's lives would definitely get better and better, and the country would become rich and strong in the near future.

Therefore, he would never allow his mother to hurt Yue Fuli. So, he secretly sent a letter to Yue Fuli and told her about Lou Yuchun's plan.
