Chapter 612: Imperial edict, the emperor is very angry (Part 2)
In other words, Prime Minister You was an outsider in all these events. He was not familiar with Lin Chujiu, but it doesn’t mean he thinks that Lin Chujiu was incompetent. He treated Lin Chujiu as Xiao Wangfei at most. The woman was recognized by Xiao Wangye.
Lin Chujiu was Prime Minister Lin’s daughter, and Prime Minister Lin was the emperor’s confidant. If Lin Chujiu has no abilities, she will not survive in Xiao Wangfu or even get a chance to have the right to control Xiao Wangfu after Xiao Tianyao left the capital. But since she did, it shows that Xiao Wangye attaches great importance to her.
And Xiao Wangye attached importance to Lin Chujiu, certainly not because of her looks.
Prime Minister You never underestimated anyone, even women.
People outside the palace knew that the emperor fired up in anger in the imperial study room. However, the imperial concubines in the palace do not.
Other imperial concubines may not know the truth about the emperor’s anger, but the empress does.
“It seems that the emperor lost to Xiao Wangye again.” The empress was trimming the potted plants in the Nuan Pavilion. And even after hearing the news, she didn’t even lift her eyelids, nor stopped working. As if this matter was not important at all.
The old mama who followed her kept her head down. She was hesitant, but after a long while, she took a step forward and said, “The empress, Xiao Wangye is powerful. Will he…”
The old mama didn’t say the rest, but smart people knew what she meant.
Xiao Tianyao changed his previous concessions. Even if he was not aggressive, he didn’t give the emperor a face. During this period of time, every time the emperor made a move to Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Tianyao slapped him in the face. The emperor didn’t win even after trying several times. She’s afraid that because of this, the emperor will become more and more unruly, and then… …
Xiao Tianyao will be forced to rebel.
Xiao Tianyao has a heavy army in his hands and also received the support of many courtiers. If he really wants to rebel, he has a good chance of winning. When Xiao Tianyao ascends the throne, the empress will no longer be the empress. And the empress’s son will no longer have a chance to be the crown prince.
Under such circumstances, how will the empress make the seventh prince sit on the throne?
The empress paused and cut off a red flower at the top, which destroyed its attractive appearance: “What a pity.”
The empress shook her head regretfully, put the scissors on the table, and took the handkerchief the old mama handed over. Then said gracefully while wiping her fingers: “Send some medicinal materials in the name of this empress, stating that Xiao Wangfei was shocked.”
Xiao Wangfu didn’t spread the news that Lin Chujiu left the capital, nor did the emperor intervene. Everyone thought that Lin Chujiu was still in Xiao Wangfu.
“The empress, won’t this… … make the emperor’s dissatisfied?” The old mama looked worried, but she didn’t know what exactly to say to persuade.
The empress threw the veil to the maidservant on the side and said with a smile: “Mama, the emperor is a wise man. He won’t give Xiao Wangye a chance.” Without a good reason, it will be difficult for Xiao Tianyao to usurp the throne. What’s more, the Central Empire will not let him succeed… …
The old mama’s eyes lit up: “This old slave girl understands.” The old mama bent her knees and bowed back.
Soon, the medicinal materials rewarded by the empress were sent to Xiao Wangfu. An hour later, the emperor also announced to the public that they had received a letter of threat from the Northern Country, wanting to assassinate Xiao Wangfei.
To prevent Xiao Wangfei from being frightened, the emperor did not tell her the truth. He only asked the palace guards to stay outside and protect her. Now that the assassins of the Northern Country had been captured and punished, the people of Xiao Wangfu could now enter and leave with confidence.
A very shameless statement, but no one went forward to find fault.
However, these have nothing to do with Lin Chujiu. The capital was far away from the border, not to mention, Lin Chujiu doesn’t know what happened in the capital. But even if she knows she can’t go back to deal with it.
Besides, now that the emperor knows that Xiao Tianyao was fine, he will not do anything to her. She was not worried about the emperor making trouble this time, she was worried about Xuanyuan Zhi, the crown prince of the Central Empire, who came back for some reason!
