Chapter 105 – Variable (1) (2/2)

“Well, let’s stop here. If any of you want to be my subordinate, please go to the palace and you will receive a warm reception. If you want to die, stay outside and people will come for you.” Zhao Yarou found she had talked too much with Ye Lang, so she immediately got down to business.

“Wait, I want to figure something out.” Ye Lang didn’t want to let Zhao Yarou get down to business at once.

“What else?” Zhao Yarou frowned and looked at Ye Lang. She felt it very strange, but didn’t refuse his demand.

“I want to know whether the spies worked for you.” Ye Lang asked such a strange question, they couldn’t believe Zhao Yarou was involved in that matter.

“Yes. They worked for me. It was me that told you the news.” Zhao Yarou nodded and told them a shocking message.

“Why did you do that?” Someone asked, but rather than Zhao Yarou, Ye Lang gave the answer instead.

“Well, she wanted to create a distraction, and then take the opportunity to seize power to control the imperial city and troops, so she can usurp the throne today.” Ye Lang replied.

“That’s impossible! How could she be so sure that she could seize power to control the troops?” Someone questioned.

Actually, in this struggle of power, Zhao Yarou had a narrow victory, because it could have gone any way, there had been a great deal of uncertainty.

“She wasn’t certain, but she most likely had another plan. Since she had decided to make a bid for power, she had nothing to lose, so why not give it a try?” Ye Lang said with ease, as if he was having a casual chat.

“Ye Lang, I can’t bear to kill you, because you always surprise me. But I don’t want to live in fear, so please, tell me how I should deal with you.” Zhao Yarou became very gentle, as if she was discussing with him.

However, right now, no one felt that she was gentle. Everyone thought she was ruthless.

“You can let me go. You can let the Ye family disappear and I can give you all my family’s property. ”Ye Lang didn’t feel disgraced and directly asked her to let them free.

“You are always wasting money. If you only focus on how to have a prodigal life, you will be safe... But you are a member of Ye family and the fiancé of the seventh princess, you are bound to get involved in something that you don’t want to interfere in.” Zhao Yarou looked at him gently and it seemed as if she wasn’t willing to kill him.

“And if I want to kill you, I must kill your whole family. Otherwise, I will get into trouble.”

“Do you think that if you kill us, the Ye family will disappear? Do you think you won’t get into trouble?” Ye Chengtian snorted.

“The Ye family, of course, will not disappear and I won’t be so naive to think so. But no one knows if the future master of your family will take revenge.” Zhao Yarou said with a smile.

“... ” Ye Chengtian and the others looked worried, they hadn’t thought about that. They didn’t know Zhao Yarou just fought against them, not the whole Ye family.

There were many branches in the Ye family. As long as the members of one branch were killed, the head of another branch would be in charge of the whole family. If the head of this branch didn’t take revenge, no one would be blamed.

It was also true to say that even though Zhao Yarou usurped the throne, everyone would finally accept her and she wouldn’t be blamed.
