After a long while, once the four women, including Shui Mu Yin Ji, had fully grasped the content of the conversation between Chu Qinghe and Gongzi Yu, Qu Feiyan sighed and said, "So, Gongzi, you had already planned to have Sister Yue or Sister Dongfang take over the palace?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "Not really. At first, it was just to take precautions. It was only later, after learning more about the Azure Dragon Society, that I came up with these plans. But now that Young Master Yu has come on his own initiative, it's good to be open about things."
At first, Chu Qinghe's understanding of the Azure Dragon Society was limited to Jianghu forces such as Bai Xiaosheng.
But when Bai Xiaosheng brought Zhu Wushi over and discovered that the Azure Dragon Society actually had designs on the imperial court, Chu Qinghe began to slowly make his plans.
Matters of the martial world should be settled within the martial world itself.
Even if there are troubles, with the combined abilities of Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Shuimu Yinji, plus Chu Qinghe's own skills, it shouldn't be difficult to resolve them.
However, if the imperial court is involved, the situation becomes somewhat different.
Once the Azure Dragon Society takes control of the imperial court, who in the entire Ming Dynasty can challenge its might?
As for the Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace, they are among the top-tier forces. Once the Qinglong Society is completely consolidated, they will have no choice but to submit to it.
In that case, the situation has become somewhat out of Chu Qinghe's control.
Therefore, from a long-term perspective, the best approach is naturally to set things right and make some preparations to prepare for the Qinglong Society's methods and have some backup plans.
However, Chu Qinghe has never liked to cause trouble.
If Zhu Wushi or the Azure Dragon Society did not provoke Chu Qinghe, Chu Qinghe would not mind letting the Azure Dragon Society and Zhu Wushi play by themselves.
Just periodically maintain the hidden poison on the heads of the Azure Dragon Society and Zhu Wushi.
But now that Gongzi Yu has brought it up himself, the situation is different.
Then, Chu Qinghe's gaze shifted slightly to the wine pot on the table.
As his thoughts raced, Chu Qinghe sighed softly, "Hopefully, there won't be any conflict!"
In this life, it is rare to find a friend with whom you can have meaningful conversations.
It wouldn't be bad if someone like Gongzi Yu, who has similar experiences to Chu Qinghe, became friends.
At least we share similar mindsets, so there will be less of a generation gap.
Moreover, if my wife throws a tantrum in the future, at least I'll have someone to drink with and cheer me up.
Xiao Zhao suddenly nudged Qu Feiyan and said, "Young Master, you wrote in your storybook that men conquer the world with their own hands, while women conquer the world by defeating men. Can you and Sister Yue understand it the same way now?"
Upon hearing Xiao Zhao's statement, Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and then sighed inwardly.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but whisper, "That statement seems quite fitting."
Putting everything else aside, in this particular incident, Jellyfish Yin Princess was involved throughout the entire process.
However, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue basically did nothing.
The Ming Dynasty was brought under their control simply because of the relationship between the two women and Chu Qinghe.
From this perspective, Xiao Zhao's summary is surprisingly insightful.
A short while later, Qu Feiyan rested her chin on her hand and said, "I wonder what Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang would feel if they knew that they could inexplicably become the empress like the ones in Young Master's stories."
Both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were busy with their own affairs within their respective factions.
But suddenly she gained the identity of an empress.
Even just thinking about it, Qu Feiyan could picture the astonished expressions on Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue's faces.
Standing to the side, Jellyfish Yin Ji, drawing on her understanding of Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, secretly thought to herself, "She'll probably keep Qinghe in bed all night!"
As for Jellyfish Yin Princess herself, she actually felt fine.
That is, every night she wanted to keep Chu Qinghe from getting out of bed.
As she thought about it, Jellyfish Yin Ji glanced at Chu Qinghe beside her, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tiny stars.
"This man is absolutely adorable."
At this moment, Qu Feiyan said thoughtfully, "I wonder what it's like to be an emperor."
When asked by Qu Feiyan, Chu Qinghe replied lazily, "Don't think about it, it's not a pleasant experience anyway."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "A top-tier power has at most ten thousand people, but these ten thousand people have to go through all sorts of things, from eating and drinking to cultivation. Although the person in power doesn't have to be fully responsible for their cultivation level and even rewards and punishments, they still have to worry about it. If a top-tier power in the martial arts world is like this, let alone the ruler of a country."
"To be an emperor, you sleep later than a dog and get up earlier than a rooster. You're busy all day long. Although you have great power and status, the price is also very high."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan asked in surprise, "So busy?"
Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and said, "Why do you think most emperors throughout history didn't live long? It's because they were exhausted."
"Those who are lazy have to get up at the beginning of the morning, while those who are more diligent have to get up at the hour of the third of the morning. As it involves matters concerning the whole country, they have to deal with memorials until the hour of the midnight. They not only have to worry about the people's livelihood of the whole country, but also have to guard against the affairs of other countries. If a natural disaster or man-made disaster occurs, they have to issue an edict of self-reproach."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan briefly considered the idea Chu Qinghe had described, and then felt a chill run down her spine.
"Wait, this isn't enjoying yourself, it's suffering!"
Everyone thinks it's good to be an emperor, above all others, but they only see the benefits of being an emperor. Who knows the hardships of being an emperor?
If being an emperor weren't so miserable, emperors throughout history wouldn't have liked keeping sycophantic officials around them.
