Chapter 541: Collusion

Although Yue Fuli had known Lou Yuchun's plan for a long time, she was still very relieved that Lou Chenfeng was still on her side at this time.

She thought to herself: For Lou Chenfeng's sake, she could spare Lou Yuchun's life.

Lou Yuchun had no idea that Yue Fuli had known about his plan for a long time. Seeing her son staying in the mansion every day, she thought that his son knew nothing and was secretly proud of herself.

"Madam, does the young master need to participate in this plan?" asked the confidant beside her.

They were Lou Yuchun's confidants, but the young master was their hope. Therefore, they felt that it was inappropriate for the lady to hide everything from the young master.

"No need!" Lou Yuchun shook her head. She had never considered revealing her plan to her son, firstly because of his close relationship with Yue Fuli, and secondly because she wanted to leave a way out. If they failed, her son might not know Yue Fuli and not kill them.

Seeing their master so resolute, the confidants opened their mouths to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. Having followed Lou Yuchun for so long, they knew her and knew she wouldn't change her mind once she'd made up her mind. Furthermore, if they tried to persuade her again, she might even suspect them of ill intentions and disloyalty.

Well, since they had followed the Madam in the first place, they would follow her all the way. As for the Young Master, it all depended on his own luck.

The emperor was very happy to know that someone wanted to cooperate with him to deal with Yue Fuli. When he was about to send someone to investigate who the other party was, he received the jade pendant sent by Lou Yuchun.

The jade pendant was prepared by the late emperor for the princes, and each newborn child had one. Although, he had never seen the one given by Lou Yuchun.

However, after seeing the words engraved on it, he fell silent. He finally knew who had been secretly opposing him all these years.

He had not expected that there were actually descendants of the previous emperor circulating among the people, and that they had organized a considerable force. Not only did they dare to cooperate with him to decide Yue Fuli, they even wanted to replace him.

Even though he knew that cooperating with the other party would be very risky, the emperor still decided to give it a try. No matter what, even if he really lost the throne in the end, he didn't want it to fall into the hands of Yue Fuli, an outsider, but rather into the hands of his own people.

That's right, in the eyes of the emperor, Lou Chenfeng is at least the blood of the late emperor, his brother, and a member of his family. But Yue Fuli has no connection with their royal family, so how could she be allowed to usurp the throne?

If Yue Fuli knew what the emperor was thinking, she would surely die of laughter. He was even plotting to usurp the throne? If she wanted to seize the throne by force, she could have simply killed the emperor. Why would she need to go through so much trouble?

The reason why Lou Yuchun revealed her identity at this time was because she understood the emperor and knew what he urgently wanted to do.

As for the future, Lou Yuchun also had a backup plan. Therefore, she was not worried at all. She even hoped that the emperor would take action against them so that they could legitimately replace him.

Of course, it would be best if there was a will from the late emperor, but unfortunately Yue Fuli was a stubborn and ignorant person. Otherwise, why would she cooperate with that fool of an emperor?

That’s right, in Lou Yuchun’s eyes, the emperor is a fool.

She was fully aware of the collusion between Lou Yuchun and the emperor, but she remained calm and watched their performance quietly.
