Chapter 102 Su Zhirou wants to join forces with Liu Yu to take action against Qian Yueqiu!
Prime Minister Liu told Liu Yu about the family's decision.
On the other side.
Since returning from the Xiao residence three days ago, Liu Yu has completely secluded herself in her bedroom.
The doors and windows were tightly closed, and the curtains were drawn low.
Even her favorite maid was dismissed and left to anxiously guard the door, listening to the occasional suppressed sobs coming from inside.
Three days and three nights.
She remained silent, either sitting listlessly on the embroidered stool by the window or lying fully clothed in the brocade quilt.
He rarely eats rice, only occasionally drinking some soup.
Her eyes, which used to be as bright and clear as autumn water.
Staring blankly at the ceiling, his tears had long since dried, leaving only a heart full of humiliation, resentment, and icy despair.
She was once the most dazzling noblewoman in the capital, possessing both talent and beauty. Her grandfather was the prime minister of the court, and suitors practically wore out the threshold of the prime minister's mansion.
Deep in her heart, she longed to be the empress every day.
But reality was so cruel; she couldn't even get the position of a concubine of the crown prince.
She might even become the laughingstock of the entire capital after this incident!
but.
Three days is enough.
These three days are for mourning lost love...
From now on, she will still be the most noble lady in the entire capital!
Since the Crown Prince won't give it to her, she'll just have to snatch it!
One day, she will make the Crown Prince and Qian Yueshu grovel at her feet...
She is willing to make any sacrifice for this!
Thinking of this.
A bright and determined flame suddenly burst forth in Liu Yu's previously lifeless eyes.
That flame is called ambition, it is called revenge!
She slowly sat up and called out to the door in a hoarse but clear voice, "Someone, prepare water and help me with my hair and makeup."
These six words.
She severed ties with the fragile and helpless Liu Yu of the past, and heralded the birth of a brand new soul.
No longer lambs awaiting judgment, but chess players who will wield the pieces and stir up the winds of change.
The warm water glides over the skin, washing away not only the dust, but also the tear stains and weakness left over from yesterday.
The maids served her with utmost care, not daring to utter a sound.
They could sense that Liu Yu was completely different from before.
That calm was not lifelessness, but rather the stillness before a storm, suppressing countless thunderbolts.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, her reflection was still stunningly beautiful. It was a weapon bestowed upon her by heaven, but she had never known how to use it correctly before.
Liu Yu raised her hand, her fingertips gently brushing across the mirror's surface; the cool touch made her even more alert.
Then.
Facing the familiar yet unfamiliar image in the mirror, she spoke clearly, word by word, to the maidservant standing beside her: "Go and inform my grandfather that I, Liu Yu, have decided to marry the Ninth Prince."
The maid looked up in surprise and respectfully replied, "Yes, Miss."
The news spread like wildfire, quickly flying over the high walls and into the depths of the magnificent yet turbulent imperial palace.
The Imperial Palace.
In Consort Shu's palace.
At this moment, Consort Shu was leaning on a soft couch, with a palace maid carefully massaging her legs.
She is nearly forty years old, well-maintained, and still retains her charm.
However, in the harem where beauties abounded, her favor was not particularly strong.
Her son, the Ninth Prince, just turned fourteen this year. He is handsome and has a gentle temperament.
In this place where the sons and grandsons of dragons and phoenixes gather, it appears somewhat mediocre.
In addition, her maternal clan's power was not top-tier.
In this struggle for the throne, the mother and son have always been considered to be among those "not qualified to sit at the table," merely peripheral figures.
When the trusted eunuch lowered his voice and reported the news that Miss Liu was willing to marry into the Liu family, Consort Shu suddenly sat up straight.
She was initially incredulous.
Immediately, a tremendous surge of joy welled up in my heart like a tidal wave.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards, eventually blossoming into an incredibly radiant smile that he couldn't stop smiling from...
"Really? The Liu family... that girl Liu Yu, really agrees?" she asked repeatedly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
After receiving an affirmative answer.
She let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the couch, and placed her hand on her chest, as if to calm her heart, which was pounding wildly because of this sudden stroke of luck.
"God bless my son! God truly bless my son!" she murmured to herself, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She knew all too well what Liu Yu and the Liu family behind her meant.
This is like a huge pie falling from the sky!
A beautiful dream that she and her son never dared to even imagine before!
original.
Her greatest hope was that her son would receive a wealthy fiefdom, become a peaceful and leisurely prince, and live a life of wealth and comfort.
As for that supreme position, she never even dared to dream of it.
But now, everything is different...
Because of Liu Yu and the Liu family.
The Ninth Prince immediately became the most dazzling prince besides the Crown Prince and the Third Prince!
"Quickly! Get ready!" Consort Shu stood up abruptly, her face flushed with excitement. "Take out the best items from the storeroom. I will personally draft the betrothal gift list! We must spare no effort to prepare a ten-mile-long red bridal procession for the Liu family! It must be quick, absolutely quick...!"
The sooner things are settled, the sooner she can feel at ease.
Her son will also be able to win over the court's forces sooner...
And the timing was perfect.
The emperor banished the crown prince from the Eastern Palace, indicating that he had the idea of deposing the crown prince.
Her son married Liu Yu, which just happened to put them at the table to compete for the throne!
Xie Mansion.
After learning about Liu Yu's situation, Su Zhirou felt that her fate was somewhat similar to her own, both of them wanting but not getting what they wanted.
Furthermore, she has now reached a cooperation agreement with Xie Jingxing, so she cannot retaliate against Qian Yueqiu.
But Liu Yu can!
Liu Yucai is the woman Xie Jingxing truly cherishes in his heart...
As long as she has ambition and wants that position.
Then Liu Yu will definitely take advantage of Xie Jingxing's love for her to retaliate.
This thought flashed through Su Zhirou's mind like lightning, instantly illuminating her gloomy state of mind.
A shiver, a mixture of excitement and guilt, crept up my spine!
Su Zhirou believed that Liu Yu would definitely conspire with her.
A woman heartbroken by love.
Her power is enough to overturn the entire court!
As long as Liu Yu gives Xie Jingxing even the slightest hint of interest...
Xie Jingxing will definitely be so infatuated that he won't know which way is up!
Don't even mention Qian Yueqiu then.
Even the entire Qian family, or rather, the Crown Prince.
Xie Jingxing will also help Liu Yu deal with it!
"When the snipe and the clam fight..." Su Zhirou uttered these words softly, a chilling light flashing in her eyes.
She doesn't need to be the fisherman!
Su Zhirou only needs to be the one who stays behind the scenes, gently plucking the threads of fate.
This plan is bold and risky.
If this gets leaked, she will be doomed!
Yet the alluring prospect, the exhilarating feeling of getting revenge without getting one's hands dirty, exuded a deadly fragrance like poppies.
She meticulously considered every step, anticipating Liu Yu's possible reactions and assessing Xie Jingxing's bottom line.
The more I think about it...
The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this was the only viable path in the darkness!
She had to see Liu Yu.
After all, this is a kind of thing.
Her own thoughts are useless; she also needs to consider Liu Yu's intentions and ideas.
