Chapter 397 Adding Another Fire

The Queen Mother continued, "Don't dwell on those trivial matters. We are family. Why don't we shake hands and make peace? We can share the wealth and glory of this world."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Qin took a step forward angrily and interrupted Queen Mother Wang.

"Mother, I can't bear this evil. This bitch cheated on me and poisoned us so cruelly. I must kill her and never let her go..."

Chen Lihua was not to be outdone and deliberately provoked him, "Then hurry up and do it. Let's go together and we can be companions. Let's see who dies faster..."

At this time, the side with more momentum can often gain an absolute advantage.

Emperor Wu of Qin became even angrier when he saw that Chen Lihua was still so arrogant even at this time.

She cursed even more bluntly, "You vicious woman, you refuse to repent, you deserve to die..."

These two high-ranking men quarreled with each other, completely disregarding any etiquette or decency.

The two of them looked like ordinary street thugs, with their hands on their hips, chests puffed out, aggressive and tit-for-tat, with no intention of backing down. They looked like two fighting roosters.

The Queen Mother sighed softly and continued to mediate patiently.

"If you keep fighting like this until both of you are injured, wouldn't that be fulfilling the wishes of others?" Her voice was steady and magnetic, trying to awaken the rationality in both parties.

"Both of you should calm down. We can talk slowly and make a long-term plan."

Emperor Wu of Qin did not want to die now. The delusion of immortality and the greed for supreme glory in his heart burned like a raging fire.

Chen Lihua did not insist on sacrificing her own life and that of her children, and dying together with Emperor Wu of Qin and his mother.

Neither of them really wanted to die, they just wanted to take advantage of the other's weaknesses to gain greater benefits.

So, after a moment of silence, both of them calmed down, stopped arguing, and temporarily stopped fighting.

In the end, Emperor Wu of Qin, Queen Mother Wang and Chen Lihua quarreled and confronted each other in the "Yongle Palace" for a long time, but nothing came of it. This battle without gunpowder ended in vain.

*****

When Lin Pianran got the news, she just found it very funny.

These people who had a deep hatred for each other did not fight to the death.

This is really funny!

It seems that they are all selfish people who put profit above all else and are simply unwilling to give up their current wealth and glory.

We must always find a way to help them break the deadlock.

How boring it would be if there was no fighting?

Huo Yuchen looked at Lin Pianran's eyes rolling around and knew that she was up to something bad again and was definitely trying to plot against someone.

I couldn't help but move forward and asked in a low voice, "Pianpian, what should we do now?"

Lin Pianran smiled faintly and analyzed in detail, "Do you know what their key is now?"

Baili Qingyun replied, "The throne?"

Lin Pianran shook her head gently.

"That's right, and it's not right. Chen Lihua is counting on Prince Duan to ascend the throne. Wouldn't that make it easy for her to take revenge on Emperor Wu of Qin and Queen Mother Wang?"

"And Emperor Wu of Qin will not sit idly by and wait for death. He certainly won't be willing to be controlled by Chen Lihua and let her evil scheme be punished. Once Chen Lihua is punished, the death of them mother and son will definitely not be far away."

"I suspect that Emperor Wu of Qin might not target Chen Lihua's other relatives first, but he will definitely not let Prince Duan go."

"Your Highness, send someone to Emperor Wu of Qin to add fuel to the fire. Perhaps good news will come tonight."

"Tomorrow, Chen Lihua will get the news and will go crazy. She will definitely break off relations with Emperor Wu of Qin and fight to the death..."

Han Chaolin smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

"My sister is the smartest. If they plot against me, none of them will be our opponent. They will only be killed..."

Han Chaolin is always a loyal fan of his sister no matter when or where.

I always praise my sister as if she is the most beautiful flower in the world.

Lin Pianran continued, "If we secretly kill Huo Mao and Princess Qinghe tonight, then none of Chen Lihua's children will survive."

"It will be easier for her to start a fight with Emperor Wu of Qin. We can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor while the two tigers fight."

After listening to all of Lin Pianran's analysis, Huo Yuchen also looked at her with admiration and approval.

He is so lucky to have such a clear-headed and smart wife!

He said to Baili Qingyun and Han Chaolin, "Tonight, go and assassinate Huo Mao and Princess Qinghe."

Then he said to Shen Xuan, "You will go to the palace again later and sow discord in front of Emperor Qin Wu, so that he will kill Prince Duan as soon as possible."

Shen Xuanzhi immediately took the order and left.

Lin Pianran reminded him again, "If all of Chen Lihua's children died, the first person she would suspect would definitely be Emperor Wu of Qin. Then she would definitely fight to the death with him."

"Something big will definitely happen in the palace tomorrow."

"Once Emperor Qin Wu is poisoned to death by Chen Lihua, the palace will be leaderless. Your Highness must be careful of the Prince of Qi. He will be the only prince who can rival Your Highness."

"As long as Your Highness can defend against Prince Qi, and then prevent the black-clad men under Prince Duan from causing trouble, and ambush Prince Duan's forces in the mines, Your Highness's ascension to the throne will be smooth sailing."

Baili Qingyun pointed at Chen Mubai and said teasingly, "Go to the mine and ambush Prince Duan's men, then you will be responsible! It's best to bring back all the ore, so that others don't get it for free."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Mubai's mouth.

"Master Divine Doctor, rest assured! I will definitely fulfill my mission."

After everyone received their mission and left, Lin Pianran called Jingyu over again and warned, "Go to the Empress's place and protect her for a while. There's been chaos and danger in the palace lately. Please make sure to protect the Empress's safety."

Jingyu nodded repeatedly and left as ordered.

*****

At this moment, the King of Qi was hiding in the deep courtyard of the palace.

He was whispering with Gu Qingcheng. Their figures seemed particularly close under the flickering candlelight, and there was a hint of ambiguity in the air.

The Prince of Qi had a cunning look on his face. "I've heard that my father is going to attack Prince Duan. Chen Lihua and my father are also fighting fiercely. This is a great opportunity for us to reap the benefits."

Gu Qingcheng deliberately took two steps closer and smiled charmingly.

"Su Qingfeng has surrendered to me. I will ask her to trick Lin Pianran out. If we can capture Lin Pianran, Huo Yuchen will definitely be afraid to act rashly and will let us manipulate him. By then, the throne will belong to the prince..."

The King of Qi had a look of approval on his face.

"Qingcheng is not only stunningly beautiful, but also extremely strategic. She will definitely be my virtuous wife in the future..."

"I am even more attracted to you..."

After saying that, he hugged Gu Qingcheng into his arms, and the two of them became intimate.
