Chapter 53 (1/2)

wang Yun

Feng had been an imperial censor for many years, he had personally not

experienced a lot of turreat waves has hit him directly in the

face, rave and stern face even more icy cold, no one

dared to be within three chi

of him

Xia Ling

Mei vaguely felt this o, if it was several

years ago, o to the rear courts of the large

influential faain

influence unofficially However she hadn’t returned to Beiding City for long,

even if she was a daughter of the Xia fa Yun

Feng’s wife, her words and actions represented the senior imperial censor

official, she didn’t dare to act blindly without thinking, afraid she would

accidentally cause trouble for wang Yun Feng

Every day

noang Yun Feng returned from imperial court he would return to his

study to deal with official docu Mei worry he would

thoroughly placate her

“Matters of

the ies substantially, the complaints have just

started, we can’t just shoot ourselves in the foot in the confusion”

Xia Ling

Mei thought about it: “How about, I go back to my parents’ home and ask daddy?”

Thinking

wang Yun Feng would agree, but he shook his head, again afraid Xia Ling Mei

would act on her own initiative and run to Xia family to ask for help,

deliberating it he then spoke: “The old matriarch of the Xia family has three

sons and two daughters, there are eleven children of direct line of descent in

your generation, around twenty daughters bastards and born of a concubine

Setting them aside, just the eleven of you have eleven in-laws, then the people

of your parents’ generation has five in-laws, in total sixteen in-laws Every

member of these sixteen fae,

each faed network

of the Dayan imperial court The influential families help each other but also

exploit each other, even the ehtly make a move without

authority, he could only slowly plan In these seven years, at least one family

of the influential fa city would reach their end, there has

been entire clans destroyed, executing the whole family unto the third

generation, and there would be a fa into

their place, there are even radually

lose power

The emperor

little by little taking power gradually without the aware, you think the

other influential families would be indifferent? Those clans executed unto the

third generation really aren’t in-laith the Xia fa

complained about, their wife and children did not ask for help from other

influential fa?”

Xia Ling

Mei suddenly shi+vered frohter of an influential

family, naturally she knew the influential family’s way of life, so much so

that every year when she returns home, there were also childhood friends who

have looked for her by every possibleher, to make

her ask wang Yun Feng for a personal favour, give their husband a way to

survive

wang Yun

Feng is an imperial censor, moreover he is a blade in the emperor’s hand Over

these years, to support the splendid path for the wang fa

had to unconditionally go by the est the influential

faeneration, how many was due to the emperor’s

provocation, again how ?

“If every

in-laws ask the Xia family for help, can the Xia family help them all? Could

every influential fae

of their position, accepted bribes, illegal practices, disregard human life? An

influential family has so many children, can all of them be honourable,

upright, uards even the private

soldiers in their hands, all never abused their position and acted

tyrannically? If there isn’t, ould I have been able to gain information

that can be used against them, over several hundred crimes to take to court and

destroy families? These sort of families, how can the Xia family help, and in

ay? The daughters of the Xia family, one has become the empress, one is

the Zhao princess, each of the other children are all tied to prestigious

families, If they had a problem and went to the Xia family for help, in the end

would they be asking for glory and splendour or bring about disaster for the

Xia family?

You think

the empress to this day can rule the chambers of imperial concubines, based

completely because of the emperor’s favour?

It’s

because the empress never involved herself in the politics of the court, and

because of the Xia family’s power towards the emperor has always been

differential, putting their own safety before matters of principle When the

eainst a family, the Xia family will only look on

without lifting a finger, and not stand off against the emperor because of

in-laws Coenuinely lap

up the blood fro”

Xia Ling

Mei rigidly rolled her eyes: “You’re saying, this time, the emperor is prepared

to behead the wang family?”

“It’s the

other influential fa to be a taciturn sheep anymore,

they want to spiritedly rebel against the emperor with a irreconcilable

adversaries To bear the brunt, naturally it’s me”

“Then you…”

“I’m

waiting for the emperor’s decision” The emperor pushed down the memorial, he

was ready to throang Yun Feng to feed the numerous carnivorous influential

fa peace between the imperial power and the

influential families, nevertheless…

wang Yun

Feng held Xia Ling Mei’s hand, his thu the hollow of her palm,

pacifying her: “Don’t worry, I’m your husband, naturally I can protect your

safety”

Safety, and

not riches and glory?

Xia Ling

Mei caught the gap in the wang Yun Feng’s thinking It wasn’t hard for her to

ione to the Gu fa,

would he still stubbornly throw his own body into the fire, feeling pleased

with the joy of life and death?

Is it, from

a very long ti had decided to follow a solitary path and

live out his lifetime? That’s why he was happy to be a blade in the emperor’s

hand, each time without hesitation stab into the influential families’ hearts,

and not concerned whether he lives or dies

Under what

state of ain push himself down the path of

death?

She didn’t

want to ask, she only tightly grabbed his sleeve, turning her gaze at the

glaring sunlight coh the

It was

already October, as the sun still so intense

Two days

passed, Xia Ling Mei took advantage of the ti was at court,

entering the palace

Just by

chance, the imperial concubines of the palace had just come to pay their

respects to the e
