Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (32)

The news that the Empress wants to establish a successor instantly spread throughout the court and beyond.

Most people feel that if Your Majesty wants to establish a successor, she would surely choose her most beloved Grand Imperial Princess.

But although the news spread, the Empress has not given any definite signal about who she might choose.

Logically, the eldest is typically chosen, and the Grand Imperial Princess is Your Majesty’s favorite, so the succession seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Yet, Your Majesty has made no explicit decision, leaving everyone puzzled.

For a moment, tensions within the court became even more intense.

Ning Yao’s activities also became more frequent.

Though a successor’s position can be revoked, once established, it is not so easy to overturn.

Therefore, Ning Yao is determined to win.

The Fifth Princess lacks the ability to compete, and the other princesses are still minors. Though there is a possibility, chances are slim.

Her biggest competitor is Chuzheng.

But Chuzheng...

She has no interest in the matter of succession.

She is thinking about forcing the Empress to abdicate.

Commander Qu watches everyone’s antics as if they are fools, feeling a sense of superiority as if he alone is clear-headed amidst others’ confusion.

Ziwei Palace.

Yann Ge nestled in Chuzheng’s arms, ”The Empress wants to establish a successor at this time, what is she trying to test?”

”How do you know she’s testing?”

”If she really wanted to establish a successor, she’d have issued a decree directly, rather than just release such news.”

”You’re quite smart.”

Yann Ge muttered, ”I’m not stupid in the first place.”

Yann Ge looks innocent and naive, like a simple-minded sweet person.

But considering his darkened disposition, it’s strange for him to be stupid.

”The Empress wishes to eliminate the Wen Family.”

”Why must she get rid of the Wen Family?” Yann Ge was puzzled, ”Although the Wen Family holds great power, they don’t harbor disloyal thoughts. Why bother doing something so thankless?”

”How do you know the Wen Family doesn’t have disloyal thoughts?” Chuzheng pointed at his stomach, ”People’s hearts are hard to fathom.”

Yann Ge grasped her hand.

”If the Wen Family had disloyal thoughts, they would have long seized power. Yet, in the past two years, not only have they not expanded their influence, they’ve even avoided confrontation.”

Saying this, Yann Ge was playing with her fingers, his expression showing a bit of confident strategizing.

He teased one finger, pulled another, and finally entwined his fingers with hers, locking them tightly.

He slightly raised his eyes to meet Chuzheng’s gaze, a faint smile on his lips, ”In such a situation, why would the Empress provoke the Wen Family?”

”Want to know why?”

Yann Ge nodded, his eyes sparkling.

Chuzheng stared at him and said slowly and deliberately, ”I don’t know either.”

Only the Empress knows why she must eliminate the Wen Family.

”Then... what does Your Highness plan to do?”

”You tell me, what should I do?” Chuzheng casually asked him.

The young man pondered slightly, ”If the Empress wants to eliminate the Wen Family, releasing the news of establishing a successor now is to incite Your Highness to fight the Third Princess.”

”Your Highness has only one path, to become the successor, otherwise you and the Wen Family will become victims in this succession intrigue.”

”No, I have another path.”

Yann Ge was puzzled, ”Hmm?”

Chuzheng kissed him, Yann Ge obediently responded, not closing his eyes, just staring at her.

”Close your eyes.”

Yann Ge closed his eyes, and Chuzheng’s kiss became much more passionate and domineering.

Until the two were breathless, Chuzheng stopped.

She leaned against the young man, her hot breath falling on his ears, ”Just ascend directly to the throne, how about it?”

”Rebel?” Yann Ge reacted quickly.

Chuzheng neither confirmed nor denied.

Yann Ge was momentarily dazed.

Everyone was thinking about succession, but she’s contemplating a coup?

Aren’t you taking quite a leap?

”Your Highness...” Yann Ge turned his head, perhaps feeling uncomfortable, so he directly sat across her, facing her, placing his hands on her shoulders.

”Your Highness, this is too risky.”

The successor hasn’t been decided yet, it’s unnecessary to do this.

”This way is more convenient.” Chuzheng hugged his waist, pulling him in, ”Don’t you want to settle Ning Yao quickly?”

Yann Ge’s brow slightly furrowed.

He wanted to avenge his only playmate.

But he also didn’t want Chuzheng falling into danger.

”Your Highness, I don’t want you to take risks.”

If it fails, the situation cannot be salvaged.

But the battle for succession is different.

Even if you fail, there’s still a chance.

The young man looked at Chuzheng with anticipation.

His face was filled with consideration, begging her not to do this.

Chuzheng pinched his cheek, the fair cheek both smooth and soft, she was addicted to pinching.

Soft and... tender.

Really comfortable.

The young man pouted discontentedly, ”Your Highness, you pinched me too hard.”

The young man’s voice was crisp and clear, expressing a bit of dissatisfaction and complaint, softly, as if coquettish.

”Pinching this lightly already hurts? Are you made of tofu?”

”See if it’s red.” The young man slightly turned, the side profile smooth and perfect, chin slightly raised into a beautiful curve.

”...”

It’s a bit red.

I didn’t use force!

”Your Highness kiss it, otherwise it still hurts.” The young man said again.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Who taught you this?!

Chuzheng kissed his cheek, then pinched him again.

Yann Ge didn’t dodge, just leaned the pinched side closer, slightly pouting, waiting for Chuzheng to kiss.

Chuzheng kissed him lightly.

”Don’t worry about these things, I will handle them.” Chuzheng’s fingers gently pinched his face, without force, more like caressing.

”Your Highness, I’m worried about you.”

”Afraid I’ll fail, and you might die?”

Yann Ge seriously replied, ”Dying with Your Highness, I’m not afraid.”

Chuzheng’s fingertip brushed his cheek, scraped his nose lightly.

”Won’t let you die.”

I’m capable!

Not so easy to die!

I still have a lot ahead of me!

Ziwei Palace was exceptionally quiet.

The Grand Imperial Princess does nothing serious all day, either going out of the palace with her Attendant Lord to squander or staying in Ziwei Palace.

Those secretly monitoring Chuzheng feel that the Grand Imperial Princess seems uninterested in vying for succession, simply living a wastrel’s life.

Of course, the Grand Imperial Princess is inherently a wastrel, so this behavior is normal.

But some are curious about how much silver Your Majesty has granted the Grand Imperial Princess.

Spending daily like this...

How much silver can the Empress give Chuzheng?

Most rewards are material items. The Empress merely thinks these were given by the Wen Family, never suspecting the origin of the silver.

Chuzheng remains motionless, leaving the Empress and Ning Yao uneasy.

Commander Qu is also uneasy.

When will you rebel, give me a confirmation so I’m not anxious every day like this!!

Recently, Chuzheng is busy dealing with ministers, making her have no time for rebellion.

Apart from those thoroughly bought by Ning Yao, and the Empress’s staunch loyalists, Chuzheng recruited those who haven’t taken a side or fence-sitters still observing, pulling them into her faction.

If it can be discussed politely, it’s discussed politely.

If it can’t be discussed politely, then it’s handled forcefully.

So while the Empress and Ning Yao were watching, Chuzheng had already secured half the court officials.

All is ready, just awaiting the right opportunity.
