Chapter 1334 No One Could Help
The lights of Weiyang Palace soon went out, but the Taiji Palace was still bright.
"Tomorrow morning, spread the news about what happened today, including the vendors by the lake
saying that I was trying to win the lamp king for the empress when someone shouted that the emperor
was assassinated and that later I took the empress to fetch the lamp."
"And many people have seen me enter the restaurant with the empress. The emperor and the empress
have a very good relationship."
"And..." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said coldly, "Tell the people that my assassination tonight was
actually a play directed and acted by someone. It's said that when I was assassinated, I was with the
princess of the State of Youyue. It was a trick of the State of Youyue to force me marry the princess of
the State of Youyue."
Liu Wenan raised his eyes slightly and said, "Your majesty, if this news is spread out, will the people of
the State of Youyue..."
Luo Qingyan sneered, "Didn't they do the same? They thought that it would be difficult for me to find
the source of the rumors and get any evidence even if I looked into it. "
"What's more, this is the truth. The rumor is not wrong. If they come to make trouble, I will tell them
directly that what is done by night appears by day. "
Seeing that Liu Wenan wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Luo Qingyan
pursed his lips and said, "Although we never kill envoys easily, I'm not easy to get along with. Since
they have bullied me, I won't be afraid even if I kill them directly."
"Even if the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai want to fight with us, they are far from us. Whether
it's military deployment or news transmission, they are much inferior to us on the continent. I don't
believe that they dare to attack us rashly. Besides, even if they do, I'm not afraid at all. "
Liu Wenan remained silent. He could tell that the emperor was really angry.
'That's right. If those people were only scheming against his majesty, it would be fine. The key point
was that this trick made her majesty unhappy.
This was more serious than scheming against him in his majesty's eyes. It was a capital crime and no
one could help.
It's hot these days, and her majesty doesn't have any appetite. I can ask the imperial kitchen to prepare
some food for her majesty to relieve the heat.
When His Former Majesty was still in office, the imperial kitchen once brought some bananas and
cherries that had been frozen into ice in the ice cellar. The taste was unexpectedly good, and I could
ask them to make some for her majesty to taste.
Well, I have to ask the people in the imperial kitchen to mention in front of her majesty that it is me who
bring up this idea.
In this way, if I offend the emperor someday, her majesty might help me out.
While Liu Wenan was thinking, he heard Luo Qingyan tell the secret guards, "Go and search for some
people in the State of Xia who look similar to me."
Liu Wenan suddenly raised his head. Since ancient times, the emperors had always been powerful and
ordinary people couldn't offend them.
Ordinary people even can't have a similar name to the emperors'.
Otherwise, if some narrow-minded emperor would use this excuse to punish him for disrespect.
"Your majesty, why did look for those who look similar to you?"
Luo Qingyan glanced at Liu Wenan indifferently and explained, "The stall owner said that the man
looked like me. And someone called his majesty was assassinated, so the people thought I was
assassinated."
Liu Wenan was stunned and guessed something.
"In that case, I'll find someone who looks similar to me. Tell them that he was the one who
accompanied the princess of the State of Youyue to go shopping at that time. It's just that the people
saw him look like me, so they mistook him for me."
"At that time, I can also ask the princess of the State of Youyue to marry that man on the excuse that
she and the people of the State of Youyue love each other and go to the lantern show." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"If she doesn't agree, I will spread the rumor that the princess of the State of Youyue is a dissolute
woman. And that man is just one of her men. Once such a rumor is spread, the reputation of the
princess will be completely ruined. No matter she marries that one or not, she can't have any chance to
enter the palace. "
Liu Wenan didn't show any expression on his face, but secretly sighed in his heart.
'Oh my God!
How cruel!
I'd rather offend the emperor than offend the empress.
If I offend the emperor, I might have a chance of survival. At least I could beg the empress for help.
But if I offend the empress, I would have no choice but to die.
I have to do something. Someone has given me a stone recently. Although it is not a precious thing, the
pattern on the stone was like a few auspicious clouds. I'll give it to the empress tomorrow.
After the frozen bananas and cherries being prepared tomorrow, I'll send them to the empress in
person.'
Luo Qingyan had finished his orders to the secret guards, "That's all for the time being. If I think of
other ways, I'll tell you."
Then he asked the secret guard, "Has the the Empress rested?"
The secret guard quickly replied, "Yes."
"Well. Has her majesty given any orders?"
The secret guard nodded and said, "Her majesty has ordered Qian Zhuo to call the ladies in the
posthouse to the palace tomorrow morning."
Luo Qingyan nodded. He knew Yun Shang very well. Yun Shang was unhappy with what happened
today, so she wouldn't let go of the people in the posthouse.
"Ask someone to tell me what the empress has done tomorrow noon."
"Yes."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Wenan suddenly thought of something and said, "The
palace banquet for the Wanshou Festival will be held tomorrow. The envoys and ladies of the State of
Youyue and the State of Yihai are not supposed to be invited. Now that her majesty asks the ladies to
the palace, do I need to arrange seats for the envoys?"
"Yes."
"I thought they were guests and it would be better not to have a direct conflict, so I used some dirty
tricks to avoid their scheme."
"But now, since they are still so ignorant and impolite, and try every means to plot against me and her
majesty, I should let them know that I am not a person to be trifled with."
Liu Wenan said, "Maybe that's also what her majesty thinks when she asked Qian Zhuo to invite the
ladies in the post house to the palace, right?"
"Yes." Speaking of the Empress, Luo Qingyan's face softened a little. "Her majesty and I have a
connection in our hearts. We can know what the other party thinks..."
“……” Liu Wenan sighed in his heart. He shouldn't have mentioned it.
