Chapter 479 - Feng Yuxuans Plan within the Military Base (2/2)

“Yes!” The guards turned around and left, not daring to say much more.

Seeing his guard leaving, Bai Yihao sat in front of his table again, burying his head within the doc.u.ments, lifting it up only after a long while. His eyes involuntarily land on that letter on the table. The pure and yet seductive young lady appeared before his eyes. When she first met him, she craftily utilized him to save herself and was even willing to gift him the music sheet.

Such behavior was untypical for an ordinary aristocratic lady!

Not only did she know that he wanted to flatter Empress Dowager, but she also knew what the Empress Dowager liked, and was able to decide within such a short amount of time. Seeing her pure and beautiful little face, he could not believe that the action was done by a girl who just reached Cloud City.

Her sharp observation and calm att.i.tude made him vastly interested in her. His elegant lips curved up into a gentle smile…

He believed that he would be able to see her soon!

While Bai Yihao was joyous about the arrival of the letter, another person was gloomy when he stared at the letter on the table. After long, the corner of her eyes twitched as she scolded with a low voice. “Idiotic woman.”

An official standing behind Feng Yuxuan lowered his head, pretending that he did not see Feng Yuxuan’s angry expression and his scolding.

The military camp was not as luxurious as King Chu’s Manor, and only essentials were inside the camp. The camp was stable but not pretty, with practicality being the top concern. Feng Yuxuan also wore light brown ordinary clothing. Here, he must not show his superior status and must suffer together with ordinary soldiers.

He was obviously scolding Ling Rui’er now. That woman was truly an idiot who wasted all the opportunities he provided her to let her s.h.i.+ne, not even keeping her position as a royal consort. She still kept complimenting the Empress in her letter, saying that she would have lost her life if not for the Empress. She also asked him to leave camp to save her.

Feng Yuxuan was sure that Ling Rui’er would not be demoted to a mere concubine if the Empress did not act. In the letter, that woman still called him her husband affectionately that made Feng Yuxuan feel as if he had just swallowed a fly, unable to swallow or vomit out the fly.

Why did she even choose to marry that idiotic woman then? Any other daughter of the Ling family was much better than her.

“Your Highness, we cannot leave the camp now. Once we leave the camp, the Empress will use that as an excuse to create trouble for you.” Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long while, the official thought that he was troubled by the matter and persuaded him.

“Don’t worry. I will not leave camp. I specially chose to enter the camp and will not leave so easily. How can I not spend half a month here to inspect the soldiers? Let me see how Ding General Manor will reach in this half a month that I am gone. Didn’t they use Empress Dowager and Empress consecutively? Let’s see how they can save their future ’empress’!” Feng Yuxuan asked maliciously.

Ding General Manor was known as the eternal empress’s family. He wanted to see how they would act to help Ling Rui’er re-obtain her status. If they were unable to do so, he would know that Ding General Manor lacked the sufficient strength that he needed. He did not wish to suffer and drown with Ding General Manor in the struggle for power. Marrying Ling Rui’er was meant to control her and obtain some power of Ding General Manor.

Moreover, with the intellect of Ling Rui’er, she could continue to be of use taunting Empress and Empress Dowager. Feng Yuxuan did not wish to waste such a move so early.

He had “benefited” her enormously, and would not give up on her so soon.

“I will write a letter personally for Ling Rui’er to ask her to re-obtain her position herself. If she is still unable to regain her position of a royal consort by the time I return from the military camp, I might be forced to remarry. As a son, I naturally cannot disobey the order from my father.”

Feng Yuxuan ordered as the official aside prepared the necessary materials.

“Don’t rush, Your Highness. Her Royal Lady might not be able to accomplish all that you asked.” Another official stopped him. He was under Feng Yuxuan and naturally could not be impolite to Ling Rui’er. Even though she was demoted, he still had to call her by her original t.i.tle now.

“That idiotic woman never succeeded in anything she did.” Feng Yuxuan frowned, and a wave of disgust appeared on his gentle face. It was a good move but that idiotic woman had ruined it for him again and again, even speaking her mind to Empress. She probably didn’t even know how she would die.

“Your Highness, now that Your Royal Lady was demoted by His Majesty to be an ordinary concubine. She might not know what had happened, but the two in charge of Ding General Manor should understand. Your intention is to force those two to understand the situation and force Duke Ding to stand on our side. However, Our Royal Lady did make such huge trouble that I believe even those two can’t do anything about it.” The official a.n.a.lyzed, and his words annoyed Feng Yuxuan further.

Throwing down his brush, he walked in circles within the room, his face all gloomy.

The matter was well-planned. Ling Rui’er was well-doted and would naturally do some outrageous affair. With her personality, she would create huge trouble. The plan was for Feng Yuxuan to remove himself during such moments, placing the problem on the shoulders of Ding General Manor. With the status of Ling Rui’er, Ding General Manor naturally did not want her to be in trouble.

Hence, they would utilize all resources to save Ling Rui’er, which would naturally implicate Empress or Empress Dowager. However, regardless of Empress or Empress Dowager, no one wanted to see Ding General Manor be close to King Chu’s Manor. Hence, no matter who was implicated, none of their plans would succeed even if a fight did occur.

At that time, Feng Yuxuan would appear and save Ling Rui’er, giving Ding General Manor hope. Then, Ding General Manor, who had the feud with Empress Dowager or Empress would turn to King Chu’s side. Naturally, the power of Ding General Manor would land on Feng Yuxuan’s hands based on his calculations. Unfortunately, heaven’s will went against his plan.

Ling Rui’er had caused tremendous trouble!

Feng Yuxuan already had a plan for what occurred in his manor. When he left the camp, he naturally could prove that Mo Yarui’s child was not his. At that time, when such an imperial scandal occurred, it would not matter how Ling Rui’er treated Mo Yarui before. Ling Rui’er, who regained the position of Consort Chu, must naturally be extremely thankful to Feng Yuxuan.

Having been neglected by Empress and Empress Dowager, Ding General Manor would naturally stand by his side, and would not be so uncertain.

As for Mo Yarui, that was not a question that Feng Yuxuan needed to consider. To exchange an unborn child and an unliked second consort for the loyalty of Duke Ding’s family was an extremely good deal for Feng Yuxuan.
