Ning Qing curled her lips into a smile.
"When do you want Liu Hai to die?"
Qu Shaoyu desperately wanted to say: I want him dead right now.
But... his hands, which were placed at his sides, were clenched into fists.
No, he can't die yet!
Before his death, the late emperor issued a will ordering him to assist the new emperor in ascending the throne and to act as regent.
It has been 7 years since then.
He held absolute power for seven years, and most of the high-ranking officials in the court had long since become his cronies.
Now that Qing-gege is helping, taking him down will be a piece of cake.
The problem is that one small thing can have far-reaching consequences, and that's exactly what happened with Liu Hai.
I must make all the necessary arrangements before I can take action against him, otherwise... the court will be in chaos.
To kill him, there must be sufficient evidence of his crimes to silence the gossip in the court.
He must be pinned down and killed immediately, and he must be condemned for eternity after his death.
After pondering for a moment with his eyes lowered, Qu Shaoyu finally looked at Ning Qing.
"Brother Qing, we can't touch Liu Hai yet."
"Also, what you just said makes a lot of sense. I shouldn't be obsessed with practicing martial arts and neglect my studies."
Ning Qing nodded in satisfaction after hearing what she wanted to hear.
"So, how do you plan to arrange your time going forward?"
Qu Shaoyu pursed his lips tightly.
"The tutor they found for me was no good; he was just a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun."
Ning Qing: "Hmm, so you want to... change your tutor?"
Qu Shaoyu shook his head.
Ning Qing's eyes lit up. "How about this, I'll take you to the Royal Library every night to study on your own. Most of the books in the library are rare copies, and there should be many books you need there."
Qu Shaoyu's eyes lit up. "Okay, let's arrange it this way."
Ning Qing curled her lips: This way, her wife will be under her nose every day!
And then there was the Empress Dowager who liked to send women to her daughter-in-law.
I really want to...
System... So all that going around in circles was for this purpose!
The next day, before dawn, just after the roosters had crowed.
With the help of Xiao Yangzi, Qu Shaoyu put on his dragon robe and finished washing up.
Seeing that Xiao Yangzi had gone out to get breakfast and that no one was in the room, Qu Shaoyu looked up at the roof beam and asked.
"Yin Yi, what did you do with that person?"
As soon as Yin Yi saw his master asking a question, he immediately appeared in front of Qu Shaoyu.
He knelt on one knee, head bowed.
Yin Yi said, "Master, that woman was knocked unconscious and thrown into an empty room last night. She should still be asleep."
A look of surprise flashed in Qu Shaoyu's eyes.
Qu Shaoyu looked at the person kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression.
"She must return to the Empress Dowager today to report back. What do you plan to do?"
Yin Yi: "Reporting to Master, I have already thought of a plan. I will have Yin Jiu disguise himself as that palace maid and go back to report."
Qu Shaoyu thought: If this were one of my own people, I wouldn't have to do it again... and they could even cover for me.
He nodded, "Okay."
Qu Shaoyu said, "Since you want Yin Jiu to take her place, then you must not let her appear in public again."
Yin Yi replied, "Yes, I will take care of it right away."
Qu Shaoyu waved for him to leave.
When Qu Shaoyu returned to his palace after court, it was nearly noon.
After the servants set out lunch, Qu Shaoyu walked to the bedside and took out the scroll from under his pillow.
Call out softly.
"Brother Qing, would you like to come out and have lunch with us?"
Ning Qing in the painting did not make a sound.
Qu Shaoyu's eyes flashed, and he continued speaking.
"Today we have imperial wine and fine liquor, and it smells wonderful."
