Chapter 195: Game within a game

She didn't even get her revenge.

Yingdu of Nanzhao.

Nan Wu had quietly dealt with several tough guys planted by Bei Chu in the court of Nanzhao these past few days, but she did not forget to find something for Yun Ju'an to do, otherwise it would seem that she, as a concubine, had nothing to do.

He doesn't even pay that much attention to his niece.

Bei Chu has been embroiled in several cases these days, and the entire court is estimated to be more difficult to clean up than that of Nanzhao. Even in such a situation, they can still spare some time to make things difficult for Yun Zhuan. They really have some skills.

But if I try my best, I can still catch my breath.

In this case, it seems that Nan Yao's path to power was too smooth.

"That's smart." Nan Wu took a copy of her niece's recent information from the secret guard. The first thing was that she had angered Bei Chu's merchants in Nanzhao because of her maid's injury.

Such a reckless method did remove a lot of hidden stakes. It was smart, but it was a bit extreme.

They even destroyed Beimenque's casino. Nan Wu was very happy when she saw this.

My niece is different from my sister.

"Okay, keep watching." Nan Wu coughed softly, but couldn't hold it back and finally started coughing violently, "Don't reveal your whereabouts!"

The blood stained the handkerchief, which was shocking.

The secret guard said quickly: "I will call someone to get you a doctor!"

"No!" Nan Wu had her own plan in mind, "You don't need to call a doctor!"

The Nanzhao Palace also has spies from the Northern Chu people. If the news of her coughing up blood gets out, I am afraid that the Northern Chu people will find an unrelated puppet to take her place. By then, she will not be fully grown, and it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Maybe I will never live to see Yun Zhuan grow up!

"Okay, leave now!" Nan Wu said calmly, "You just need to do what I tell you to do."

The secret guard retreated obediently.

Nan Wu watched the man leave, and then she pressed a button somewhere and took out the secret decree:

"Sister, you really have thought of a way out for your good daughter."

As her elder sister's most beloved sister, she was neither talented in literature nor in martial arts, and had always lived under the shadow of the late Lady King. However, Nan Wu never blamed her because she knew that her elder sister would never abandon her or give up on her.

This secret decree was written by my elder sister before her death.

The new heir written above is Nan Wu.

Everyone thought that Nan Wu had usurped the throne and reached a puppet agreement with Bei Chu to make her submit to him, and only then did she ascend to the throne and become the queen.

But the truth is, the late queen had already issued a will, allowing her sister to ascend the throne.

Not her own daughter.

Nan Wu's heart moved, and she stroked her sister's handwriting with her hand, feeling a mixture of emotion.

Perhaps, her own niece hated her, and she also hated her sister for being so calculating. If it weren't for this will, she would have stayed out of it long ago. Why would she bear the eternal curse? When Nan Wu thought of this, she felt a pain in her heart.

I held my chest for a long time and didn't dare to breathe. Only then did I feel better.

Unfortunately, she was not born of the same mother and father as the late Lady Lord, but of the same mother but different fathers.

If not, why would the relationship between the two be so close yet so distant?

Nan Wu's eyes were filled with memories, and then she rolled up the entire edict and kept it.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue Wanli is here." The female official serving nearby came forward to report.

The head is slightly lowered and the voice is steady.

Nan Wu came back to her senses: "Well, come in, Xuan!"

The entire hall was empty, as if it was filled with a great deal of loneliness, and no one knew the pain of being in that position.

Wanli came forward angrily and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Nanzhao looked calm, but her heart was in turmoil. No way, he had found out her weakness so quickly?

Or is it that the people below don't do things cleanly enough?

As expected, Wanli's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. He raised his head and looked at her:

"I would like to ask your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Have you forgotten the agreement between you and His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Chu?"

Nan Wu frowned and slowly came down from her high place.

There were only two of them in the whole hall.

The air was empty and even the echo of anger could be heard clearly.

Nan Wu came down from the height, and then looked Wanli in the eye. With every step, Wanli felt his heart trembling slightly in his chest.

The momentum suddenly emerged, perhaps this is the true momentum of the Nanzhao royal family.

"Kneel down."

Nan Wu looked at Wanli straight in the eyes, her eyes filled with surging anger.

Wan Li did not dare to look him in the eye, and immediately regained his composure, then knelt down and said:

"I am Wanli, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Nan Wu turned her back and continued to pace. It was hard to tell from her voice whether she was angry or not: "My dear, as a noble lady, you also have status in Northern Chu. Why did you come to Nanzhao?"

"Isn't it because as a woman, you also want to realize your own ambitions and show your family that you are no worse than men?"

"I thought you had raised your head as a woman during your time in Nanzhao, but I didn't expect you to still be a lackey of Beichu. How come, now that you have entered Nanzhao and have made achievements, you still miss your days in Beichu?"

The sound was neither loud nor soft, and it completely entered Wanli's ears.

Wanli is a woman, and indeed a noblewoman.

Men are respected in Northern Chu. As a concubine's daughter, although her family is noble, it has nothing to do with her. Her aunt was a concubine and had died long ago due to torture by the mistress.

She just wanted to prove that her abilities were no worse than those of her legitimate and illegitimate brothers and sisters, so she volunteered to come over and become the head of Bei Chu.

To be honest, Nan Wu was really good to her, but she only remembered how she wanted to prove herself, but forgot that her biological mother died because of her.

Wanli lowered his head:

"Wanli has never forgotten your majesty's kindness."

Nan Wu still had no expression on her face. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at Wan Li who was kneeling there:

"Since you remember my kindness, what are you doing?"

"Do you want to use my niece to be buried with your poor mother?"

"Or do you want to force me to kill your useless father?"

Wanli lowered her head lowered lower as she was questioned, almost to the ground. Only then did she realize the gap between her and Nan Wu.

She encouraged herself to become an ambitious, conspirator, and a powerful person.

But in the end, I still couldn't break the boundaries.

She was wrong.

Nan Wu said calmly:

"I tell you, only I can make a move on Nan Qiao. Apart from that, you should make a decision as soon as possible. I can't wait to make Bei Chu suffer a big loss."

Wanli finally understood that the information he passed on was actually a trap set by Nan Wu.

By constantly showing weakness, Northern Chu would let down its guard and think that Nanzhao was still being constrained by Northern Chu.

In fact, Nan Wu has already escaped from the jurisdiction of Bei Chu.

If it weren't for the previous queen's inconsideration, the country would never have been destroyed!
