Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (31)

Chuzheng wants to go after someone, with two methods in mind.

The first method: direct action.

But the outcome of that method is a rewind, so it’s unusable.

The second method: setting a complex trap, making it obvious she’s behind it, yet leaving no evidence, causing extreme frustration.

Chuzheng doesn’t really like this method.

Too troublesome.

But there’s no choice.

Taking a direct action leads to a rewind.

Can only opt for the troublesome route.

All for the Good Person Card!

She can do it!

Recently, Ning Yao has been having a very tough time.

The matters with her family have changed the Empress’s attitude towards her.

Therefore, even the people in the court are adapting to the situation.

And there have been a series of incidents lately.

Those supporting her are either demoted or suddenly resign.

Several suggestions Ning Yao proposed in the court have resulted in disastrous consequences due to improper implementation, making the Empress furious.

”Maybe I’m overcomplicating things,”

Chuzheng asked Commander Qu.

Commander Qu was polishing a knife nearby: ”Without doing this, how could you push the Third Princess to this extent.”

”I could start a rebellion!”

Thud!

Commander Qu’s knife dropped to the ground, and he quickly went to close the door, glancing outside before shutting it.

”Your Highness, have you lost your mind?”

”If I became the Empress, handling Ning Yao would be a matter of a single sentence.”

Why go to the trouble of digging pits for her?

Exactly!

This is the correct solution.

Recently, what’s been on her mind... Alright, the Good Person Card.

The Good Person Card is too irresistible; she doesn’t even want to return home now.

Commander Qu picked up her knife, pointing it at Chuzheng: ”Rebellion would bring you the scorn of the masses! Even if you sit on the throne, history will record you as having seized it through rebellion.”

Chuzheng’s fingertip pushed the knife aside: ”Blades are blind.”

Commander Qu slammed the knife onto the table, causing the teacups to shudder.

”If you want to rebel, I absolutely will not follow you!” She still wants to accomplish great things; how could she be labeled a traitor? Absolutely not!!

As a woman, she has her pride!!

Chuzheng poured herself a cup of tea: ”Rebelling is not good, we could just have the Empress abdicate.”

”Your Highness, please remove the word ’we’.”

Chuzheng set the teacup down, with a somber tone: ”Do you think you can disembark now?”

”...”

Commander Qu cried out silently.

After venting, Commander Qu sat back on a chair and poured himself two cups of tea, drinking them in two gulps.

He slammed the cup down on the table.

”Speak, how do we proceed!”

”It’s very simple, just have the Empress write an abdication edict.”

Simple?

Where is that simple?

You think an abdication edict is just anything!!

Commander Qu argued with Chuzheng.

”Your Highness, the Empress has no intention of abdicating right now; how do you think this plan is feasible?”

”Whether it’s feasible or not is not important, what’s important is if the Empress will choose life over her throne.”

”Alright, let’s not talk about this.” Commander Qu said: ”Even if you get the abdication edict, will the court officials accept it? Believe it?”

Chuzheng was confident: ”I’ll handle that.”

”...”

An Imperial Guard Army Leader and the Grand Imperial Princess.

In the resting room of the Imperial Palace’s leader, they plotted the entire rebellion.

Commander Qu: ”...”

Rubbish plan!

There was no plan at all!

”Your Highness, it’s almost dark, aren’t you leaving?” If I can’t provoke you, can’t I at least avoid you?

Being given an eviction order, Chuzheng slowly stood up.

What kind of leader is this!

No manners at all!

I am, after all, a princess!

Daring to speak to me like this!

Believe it or not, I’ll have your head!

Chuzheng slapped a few silver notes on the table, with an air of ’I pay for the service after I indulge’.

Commander Qu: ”...”

Even if you pay me.... well, I’ll take it anyway.

Chuzheng returned to Ziwei Palace.

As expected, Yann Ge waited eagerly by the palace gate, perhaps He Zhi was afraid he’d get tired, so there was a chair set up.

Yann Ge sat on the chair, dozing off with his head nodding intermittently.

Upon hearing movement at the palace gate, Yann Ge drowsily looked up.

He rubbed his eyes.

”Your Highness.”

Yann Ge got up and ran over.

Chuzheng felt like a child leaving school and rushing to his mother.

Chuzheng shook off the strange thoughts in her head, catching Yann Ge: ”Slow down.”

”Your Highness, I missed you.”

”...”

A Yann Ge that’s not darkened is just a clingy person, innocent and pure.

Turns out, being dark is better.

Chuzheng silently mourned for a few seconds, supporting him as they walked inside: ”Have you eaten?”

”No, I was waiting for you.” Yann Ge started talking about what he did today, what nice dishes he made.

Chuzheng listened, without speaking or interrupting him.

Yann Ge occasionally whined for her response, and Chuzheng lazily answered with a single word.

Then...

Then she forgot everything.

God knows what he said.

At night, Chuzheng lay on the bed, Yann Ge fiddling next to her for a while, seeing that Chuzheng was ignoring him, he directly snuggled closer.

”Your Highness...”

”Hmm?”

”You haven’t touched me for days, is there something I’m not doing right?”

Chuzheng had a serious face: ”Such things are harmful to health, do less of it.”

Yann Ge grabbed her: ”But I like Your Highness, I want to be with you, don’t you want to?”

”You’re still young...Yann Ge, don’t mess around...Yann Ge! Alright, alright, you go down first, I want you, okay?”

Yann Ge is younger than her, just turned eighteen this year.

Chuzheng truly had his wellbeing in mind.

But he was always thinking about how to seduce her.

Yet Chuzheng could sense that part of the reason for Yann Ge’s clinginess had other motives too.

He was probably afraid...

That she wouldn’t help him seek revenge.

Chuzheng became busier than before, having to go out every day to talk to the ministers.

Ning Yao was aware of Chuzheng’s movements, but every time she went to ask after Chuzheng left, the ministers either said they had nothing going on or avoided her.

Wen Wu seemed to suspect something and invited Chuzheng to his palace.

When Chuzheng came out, she had a list in her hand.

A list of those who serve the Wen Family.

The court’s politics were developing into a strange scenario.

Her Majesty the Empress’s desire to eliminate Chuzheng and the Wen Family became even stronger.

”Commander Qu.”

”Your Majesty.” Commander Qu said respectfully.

The Empress propped her head with her hand: ”How many years have you been with me?”

In his heart, Commander Qu was a bit apprehensive: ”Your Majesty, I have been at your side for almost fifteen years.”

The Empress murmured: ”Fifteen years...” She sighed, her tone conversational: ”It’s been a long time, with you here, it gives me peace of mind.”

Commander Qu: ”...”

Please don’t feel at ease, I have already betrayed you.

The Empress continued: ”The time has come, can’t deny getting old. Lately, some people in the court are a bit unruly, do you think, is it time for me to appoint an heir to share the burden?”

Commander Qu was shocked: ”I dare not speak thoughtlessly.”

The Empress pardoned him: ”I want you to speak.”

Commander Qu hesitated, thinking, do you know that your daughter plans to conspire with your Imperial Guard Army for your overthrow?
