Chapter 18 What a deep calculation
"Your Majesty, you must remain calm. We have made all the necessary preparations, and we only lack the east wind.
We must not panic at the critical moment. We must act with legitimacy and gain the support of the people.
To avoid being used by those with ulterior motives and becoming rebels."
"Your Majesty! I guess the old emperor asking you to enter the palace must be for no good reason.
Let me guess, either he wants you to hand over your military power, or he has already selected people to be by your side so that he can control you and monitor your movements at any time.
On the surface, he pretends to be a loving father, but secretly he wants to control you to satisfy his vanity."
"Oh! What a deep calculation."
Dongfang Chen paused when he was about to drink tea, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a beautiful arc.
The smile at the corners of his lips made everyone feel warm even though he was wearing a mask.
I just don't know what the face beneath the mask looks like. It's been years since I've seen the War King's true face.
It has been a long time since we have seen the King of War smile, Ye Shiyang joked.
"Oh my! Chen, you're smiling so passionately, are you really tempted to marry that idiot from the Shangshu Mansion?
No way! No way. "
"When did your vision become so bad? Tell me, who are you pretending to be? You are definitely not Chen."
Dongfang Chen glanced at him coldly, and Ye Shiyang stopped talking.
"Yes, yes, that's the look, Chen, this is you.
I was so scared. I thought you were switched and I was thinking about how to get you back.
You are our backbone, we really can't do without you."
The others also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing their master smile, their lives were finally saved.
The master's character...ah, it's hard to describe.
But it’s not the master’s fault. It’s all because the emperor is too indecisive and can’t even protect his own queen.
In the end, she was murdered alive. The most hateful thing was that the person who killed the queen actually became the next queen.
No one can bear this, but the emperor still blindly favors the empress dowager.
They turned a blind eye to her behavior, so the Queen Consort became even more unscrupulous.
He even poisoned his master. The extremely cold poison caused his master the most pain every full moon night.
It will emit the coldest cold air, and plants several miles away will be frozen to death.
Fortunately, the master had strong internal strength, and with the medicine prescribed by the genius doctor, he was able to barely survive.
Who would have thought that the master's own guards would be bribed and give the master that cold poison.
The guard died a very miserable death in the end. The master hated betrayal the most.
The last bit of flesh was cut off piece by piece, and the body was torn into pieces.
It was finally discovered that the guard was originally the Queen's man, so it's no wonder.
But the master was also cruel, and in the end he threw the guard's head directly on the queen's bed.
Serves you right! The Queen is so vicious.
Dongfang Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip elegantly. His hands were slender and well-defined, and looked particularly beautiful.
Ye Shiyang: "Chen! You haven't told me what the old emperor wants to see you about today? I wonder if the military advisor really guessed it right."
Qiao Beichen waved his feather fan, looking mysterious.
He stroked his beard and said, "Yes, yes, how could you not know what kind of character the old emperor has?
He is extremely vain, has no ability, and is afraid that Chen will take his place.
On the one hand, he wanted to act like a kind father in front of Chen.
Don’t you think people like this are disgusting? Chen! How did you endure it? "
Dongfang Chen: "You've done some thorough research. How about we switch identities?"
Qiao Beichen was frightened by these words and started coughing.
"I say, Chen, could you please stop being so shocking?
If others heard this, they would think I was planning a rebellion. I still want to live for two more days."
"Oh.
Aren’t you very brave? I thought you weren’t afraid.”
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. The military advisor really guessed correctly why the old emperor came to see me today.
He wants to give the Minister of Rites' daughter to me as my principal wife. Do you think he is tired of living? He doesn't want the chair under his butt anymore."
"oh???"
"Minister of Rites? I seem to remember that he only has one legitimate daughter, but I've never met her, so I don't know what she looks like.
All we heard were rumors, that she was uneducated, stupid as a pig, and a complete fool.
Chen, why would the emperor promise such a person to be your principal wife? He is probably afraid that you will live too well.
"They really have evil intentions. Do you want us to get rid of them? Get rid of this trouble."
"Anyway, if any one of us takes action, we can make the other party disappear without anyone noticing."
Yan Si Niang: "Master, do you need me to help? My place is a good place.
You said that if the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion loses her innocence, she will only be able to accompany the ancient Buddha in the temple."
"However, your information is a little behind the times. The Shangshu Mansion now has more than one legitimate daughter.
Master, who did the old emperor point out to you?"
Dongfang Chen: "He didn't say who it was, he just said she was the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."
Yan Si Niang: "Humph! The old emperor is really scheming. Everyone knows that Qin Yuyao is dead, her father doesn't love her, and her reputation is particularly bad.
But she is also a legitimate daughter. What is the emperor thinking?
If it was Qin Yuyan, we could all barely accept it, as she has always had a good reputation.
She is very pretty, gentle, graceful, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If she becomes the principal wife, we all have no objection."
"As for that piece of trash, I'm going to get rid of her right now."
Meanwhile, they were discussing how to get rid of the Shangshu Mansion's daughter.
Nangong Xue changed into night clothes and arrived at the Crescent Moon Palace. She took out a powerful sleeping pill and waited for the right moment to slip out.
He won't fight a battle he's not sure of winning, and he can't alert others.
Who knows if these people have other escape routes? If you don't remove the roots of the problem, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
These killers are no pushovers. To be able to stand firm in the underworld for so long, he must have some extraordinary qualities.
Soon, he discovered something was wrong, and the right-hand man Cao Kun took out a flare and sent it out.
When everyone saw the danger signal flare, they immediately became extremely alert.
However, Nangong Xue's medicine is not something these people can resist.
In less than half a cup of tea, all those with poor martial arts skills fell to the ground.
"Left Envoy Fan Zhicheng, who is this heroic man? Why did he break into my Crescent Moon Palace in the middle of the night?"
Can you please come out and see for yourself? A sneak attack is not what a hero does.
Nangong Xue appeared on the roof of the house with a weapon in her hand.
He looked down at these people, "Have you thought about how you're going to die? If you can't kill me, then be prepared for me to kill you in return."
