Chapter 564 - Pleasing Her Majesty (19) (1/2)

During the following time, Ming Shu began to pamper Junjue more and more unscrupulously. Sometimes she would even cancel the morning session.

The outside began to spread that she was fatuous and without principles. If it continued to develop like this, the imperial court which was originally not stable would probably embrace another bloodbath.

The ministers who supported Ming Shu were so worried that their hair even turned grey.

”What is Her Majesty doing, alas, that Junjue… is a total disaster.”

”Alas, before Her Majesty was very close to Ning Furong and we couldn't persuade her, now she's changed another person.”

”Say something, Lord Zhou.”

Everyone looked to Lord Zhou who was drinking the tea leisurely. At this time, he had the mood to drink tea?

Lord Zhou put down the teacup and said slowly, ”What can I say? Her Majesty won't listen to us, and we can't make decisions for Her Majesty. So if I'll say, ministers, just don't be so worried.”

”How can we not worry?”

”Right, I can barely sleep everyday. Look at my hair, it's half grey. I was entrusted by the former emperess to assist Her Majesty, if something bad really happens, how will face the former emperess down there?”

Lord Zhou didn't say anything else then. He had been doing some things for Ming Shu and knew what she had deployed. At present, she had almost replaced every necessary official posts.

Her Majesty…

She wasn't as fatuous as she looked.

While dealing with them, she acted like she was casual and willful, and she would do whatever she wanted, but privately she dealt with the memorials and other affairs very well.

Perhaps Her Majesty wanted to puzzle those who had other evil thoughts in this way.

Lord Zhou found an excuse for Ming Shu. But actually Ming Shu behaved like this simply to gain Hatred Points from them.

-

In recent days, a huge accident happened in the capital city.

Infanta Ning'an died.

There're different rumors about how she died. Some said she killed herself, some said she was killed by the enemy, while some said the gHost did it.

Infanta Ning'an's death put Lord Pingrui into grief. He asked Ming Shu to find out the truth and do something for Infanta Ning'an.

Compared with those unreliable rumors outside, Ming Shu's news was much more precise. Infanta Ning'an was murdered.

At that time, Infanta Ning'an had been locked in the Dali Temple, but she was poisoned to death in the end.

But what could Ming Shu do?

She didn't know who the murdered was, so she could only turn Lord Pingrui away first with an excuse, then ordered the Dali Temple to look into the case.

”What do you say, my love?” Ming Shu asked Junjue with her legs crossed, who was reviewing the memorials beside her.

Junjue answered, ”Infanta Ning'an did offended a lot of people.”

Ming Shu nodded her head thoughtfully. ”So it's a revenge? It shouldn't be. She was already locked in the prison. Even if they wanted take a revenge, they should wait for her to come out.”

Junjue put down the brush. ”Infanta Ning'an has died. Who will benefit the most from it?”

”That's hard to say. After all there're more than one group of people wanting to rebel now.” Ming Shu curled a faint smile at her mouth. ”Which side would the Lord Pingru choose?”

Lord Pingru hadn't been in the focus of power for some years, but he was at least the brave and battlewise lord of Purple Moon Nation in those days. He still controlled part of the military strength in his hands.

Plus his prestigious reputation, it would be very helpful to win him over.

Junjue: ”…” It turns out you know there're more than one group of people! I thought you didn't know!

”Your Majesty, you should comfort Lord Pingru right now and try to win him on your side.”

Ming Shu was curious. ”Do you think Lord Pingru wants to rebel or not?”

Junjue was speechless. WTH? Does she think there're not enough people in the rebelling group and want to add more?

She really isn't afraid of losing the throne.

”Your Majesty, if you behave willfully two more time, perhaps Lord Pingru will rebel even if he doesn't want to.” Junjue couldn't help but diss her.

Ming Shu blinked and smiled innocently. ”I'm really expecting that.”

”…”
