Chapter 910 She is not worthy of the title "Imperial Consort".

Xie Shang was still somewhat troubled. "She is from the Fourth Prince's residence. If I want to kill her, I must first send someone to inform the Fourth Prince's residence."

The Yuezhi said, "What is she? Why do we need to inform the Fourth Prince's Mansion before killing her?"

"For an emperor to be so hesitant and timid when it comes to killing someone, how can he be considered an emperor?" The Yuezhi found this even more strange.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is too weak. Xie Shang is still young and has only been on the throne for two years. His foundation is not stable and he should be easy to deal with. She doesn't understand why Prince Xiao is still so afraid of him.

Before leaving the Northwest, she overheard her father's conversation with the eldest prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom. She was surprised that the young prince was so ambitious that he dared to oppose the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Having been in the Great Zhou for so long, the Yuezhi had observed the emperor and empress's conduct and felt that they were very young and that there was no elder in the royal family to take charge. The future of the Great Zhou was indeed worrying. If the Yuezhi supported Xie Kang to become the emperor of the Great Zhou, it was not impossible for him to succeed.

Cooperation with the Northern Xiao Kingdom might also be an opportunity for the Yuezhi.

Xie Shang frowned, seeing the contempt in Yuezhi's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "I am the Son of Heaven, and all the people under Heaven are my subjects. If Aunt Kang does not understand the laws of the Great Zhou, she should read more of the Great Zhou laws and regulations. If I really could kill whoever I wanted as Aunt Kang said, I would become a tyrant. The Great Zhou Dynasty has always upheld the principle of governing the world with benevolence and righteousness."

"I am not a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I do not know anything about the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xie Kang is having an affair with another woman behind my back, so I am going to kill her." Yuezhi looked furious.

Xie Shang quickly instructed Lin Feng to stop Yue Shi's actions.

Just as Lin Feng stopped Princess Kang from stepping forward, Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Since you married Uncle Kang, you are now a member of the Xie family, and a member of the royal family. The rise and fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty also has a responsibility and obligation for you. Therefore, I do not want to hear you say that you are not a subject of the Great Zhou Dynasty again." He would make the natives of the Northwest submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty sooner or later.

When the Yuezhi saw that the emperor was helping Xie Kang and the woman he had found, they immediately became furious, saying, "You members of the royal family are bullying an outsider like me! I came all the way from the Northwest to Shengjing, and this is how you treat me..."

Xie Shang never expected to encounter a shrew. He thought that the eldest daughter of the Yue family, a native of the Northwest, should at least be reasonable, if not well-educated. Although this was indeed the kind of scene he wanted to see, hearing Yue Shi's tantrum made his head buzz and gave him a terrible headache.

He looked out of the cabin; why hadn't the Empress come in?

He winked at Lin Feng, wanting the Empress to come in and appease Yue Shi. Lin Feng seemed to have received instructions from Jiang Fenghua, and he didn't seem to understand the Emperor's meaning, constantly avoiding eye contact.

In fact, Lin Feng had indeed been warned by Jiang Fenghua that if the Emperor wanted to see her, he should pretend he didn't see her.

After all, the woman Lin Feng wanted to marry was the Empress's person, and she was still under the Empress's control. He dared not disobey the Empress.

Today's matter is indeed troublesome. Prince Kang and Consort Chang have run away to have an affair again. Even the guards can't stand it. Consort Chang betrayed the late emperor and should have been given a cup of poisoned wine or a white silk ribbon to apologize to the late emperor.

Hearing the Princess Consort of Kang's tantrum, Xie Shang had no choice but to push the Prince of Kang aside, looking helpless. "Your family affairs are your own business, I won't interfere."

Chang Mingxiu hid behind Xie Kang and sneered. Now she finally knew what kind of life Xie Kang was really living in the Northwest. No matter how powerful the Yuezhi were, she was still a woman. If Xie Kang ignored her, she could only stay alone in her empty room.

When Xie Kang saw Xie Shang get up and walk out, he knew Xie Shang's thoughts. Detaining them in the capital and bringing in Yue Anxin was nothing more than an attempt to control the natives of the Northwest. He didn't intend to rebel because he knew that even if he succeeded in rebelling and became the emperor of the Great Zhou, he might not be as good as Xie Jing and Xie Shang.

Xie Kang had been awakened by the scolding. He was old and no longer wanted to sit on the throne. At this moment, he just wanted to leave this place of trouble.

He was pushed along in some ways, and he told Xie Shang everything. He admitted that he was cowardly and weak, and that he wanted to end his relationship with Chang Mingxiu, but Xie Shang said...

Xie Kang was also helpless.

Xie Shang walked onto the deck and saw Jiang Fenghua and Xie Yun standing together. He suddenly walked between the two and said to Xie Yun in a deep voice, "Young Master, why don't you go in and persuade your mother? She seems a little agitated."

Xie Yun was somewhat resentful, but he was also a little afraid of the emperor in front of him, since it was they who had led the troops to drive back the people from the vassal states.

Xie Yun didn't dare stay either. The emperor neither killed them nor allowed them to leave Shengjing. He didn't know what the emperor was up to.

Xie Shang put his arm around Jiang Fenghua's waist: "I drank some wine with Patriarch Bai just now, and I feel dizzy."

Listening to the arguing in the cabin, Jiang Fenghua asked, "Isn't the Emperor afraid that Consort Chang's identity will be exposed?"

Xie Shang sneered, "Is Consort Chang here? She doesn't deserve the title of 'Consort'."

Jiang Fenghua choked up. Indeed, even if someone exposed her identity, Xie Shang had a way to cover it up, which was why he allowed Consort Chang to leave the mansion and meet Xie Kang without any restraint.

Could it be that Xie Shang told the Yuezhi about Xie Kang and Chang Mingxiu's meeting?

She stared into Xie Shang's eyes, feeling that she had never truly understood him. In her previous life, she had only seen Xie Shang as cold and ruthless, but in this life, she had been guiding him to fall in love with her. She had succeeded, but he would also be attracted to other women, such as Qin Yunyan.

She wisely refrained from asking him what his plans were, only to hear a great commotion inside. Fortunately, since the news of the Emperor's presence at Hundred Flowers Lake spread, the boats on the lake had been cleared away.

-

Before Prince Kang and his entourage boarded the ship, the Bai family members were asked to disembark. Qin Yunyan stood on the shore, staring at the cabin on the lake. She felt like she had seen the woman who met Prince Kang somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

Baihe noticed that she was staring intently at the ship. "What exactly happened on the ship?"

Before Qin Yunyan could answer, Madam Bai said, "Catching someone in the act! Prince Kang was caught red-handed by the Princess Consort while boating on the lake with a woman. No man is any good; they're always looking for something better than what they have."

Madam Bai was being somewhat sarcastic, because Bai He was the same; he also had quite a few women.

Bai He ignored her and said to Qin Yunyan, "If it weren't for the matter of Prince Kang reaching the Emperor's attention, Yan'er would definitely have climbed into the Emperor's bed tonight. This opportunity would have been wasted."

"With the Empress present, the Emperor won't favor other women in front of her." Qin Yunyan wasn't actually sure. The Emperor seemed to be bewitched by her, but no matter how close she got, he didn't touch her, even if she intentionally or unintentionally tried to get into his arms.

Bai He added, "Our Bai family has made a name for itself in Shengjing. Yan'er and the Emperor will have opportunities to meet in the future, so you must make the most of it."

Qin Yunyan would certainly make the most of it; only by becoming the emperor's woman could she enter the palace and become a concubine.

At that moment, she seemed to see an old acquaintance again.
