"Good! Well done! My love for Princess Li has finally paid off. When you return, tell your master that I have remembered his great kindness today. When Prince Li ascends the throne, Chen'er will be the supreme empress."
The man in black clasped his fists and said, "The master also asked me to convey four words to the Concubine. The first is that the master said we are all family, all in the same boat. Only when His Royal Highness Prince Li is well, can everyone else follow suit. So please, Concubine Ling, don't be polite."
The master's second sentence stated that the court was in turmoil, with friends and foes difficult to distinguish. He warned Concubine Ling not to take the lead, make random allies, or risk being deceived. He explained that with Prince Dongfang creating chaos in the rear, and with a 500,000-man army under his command, Prince Li could lead a surprise attack on the capital and force the emperor to abdicate.
In the third sentence, the master said that he and the Prince of Dongfang colluded to kill Pei Zhong, and after taking over the 50-man army, he would immediately block the news from the border and have his people spread the bad news back to the capital.
At that time, the concubine must not believe it and lose her composure, because Murong Qingyun has an unknown number of private armies. After killing Pei Zhong and his entourage, his 500,000 troops will immediately detour to lie dormant near the capital. When Murong Qingyun leads his troops to attack, he will immediately lead his troops to surround them from the rear.
Of course, if His Royal Highness Prince Li encounters difficulties in forcing the emperor to abdicate, he will take action immediately. However, if His Royal Highness Prince Li can solve the problem on his own, his 500,000 troops will still be retained to deal with Murong Qingyun.
Fourthly, the master said that judging from the situation at this morning's court session, Qian Yeming definitely did not have the military token that could mobilize the southern and western armies, so the token must still be in the hands of the retired emperor. The master hopes that the queen can find a way to find the military token. If so, we will definitely win against Murong Qingyun.
"My master wishes to tell the Concubine Dowager that after Qian Yeming issued the order for him to go to Hangu Pass this morning, our greatest enemy is no longer the Emperor. We have weathered such difficult times before, and I hope Your Majesty will not let up even after His Royal Highness Prince Li ascends the throne. After Qian Yeming, there is an even greater enemy waiting for us."
Although they were sure of success in the regicide, which made Ling Ying really happy, she was still unhappy that Chai Jing, as a great general, was teaching her, the former imperial concubine and future empress dowager, a lesson.
Did this man look down on her from the bottom of his heart and think she was a fool? She, Ling Yingzhen, had entered the palace at the age of 16, and had stepped on countless corpses before finally ascending to the position of Imperial Noble Consort. And thanks to her good offices in the harem, she had once made her son the most sought-after candidate among the princes.
With her skills in the palace, how dare Chai Jing look down on her? And even find a servant to teach her a lesson?
Ling Yingzhen snorted inwardly. Now she and her son still had to rely on Chai Jing. When her son became emperor and the throne was secure, the first thing to be confiscated would be Chai Jing's power!
It would be absolutely impossible for a slave to bully his master. It would be impossible for Ling Yingzhen to do so.
Although her heart was in turmoil, Concubine Ling maintained a gentle smile on her face.
"Go back and tell your master that I heard what he said and took it to heart. Please rest assured that I will stay in the palace well and will definitely not cause any trouble or confusion.
