It was early evening when the lanterns were being lit when Lou Zigui and Ning Xiaoyao returned to the palace Shadowgale and the rest had arrived long in advance, and had even sent Dragon Guards and iale hi of the worst case scenario and thought that Grand Preceptor Xie had et rid of His Majesty and Supreme Commander
Ning Xiaoyao was still wearing her siale, ”How could anyone successfully assassinate me? If I couldn’t beat them, I’d just run away!”
Shadowgale looked at His Majesty’s row of little white teeth and felt that he really had worried over nothing
”Little Fang’s still not back yet?” Ning Xiaoyao asked after looking over the crowd
Shadowgale said, ”General Fang is still at the Grand Preceptor’s estate”
”Oh, then let’s keep hi Xiaoyao said carelessly As long as Fang Tang wasn’t bothering her, it was fine
Shadowthunder scooted over and said, ”Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor said he’s lost a set of 24 brushes with Jiangnan scenes etched into the handles It was given to him by the late emperor”
”Is that so?” Ning Xiaoyao’s hand brushed against her bag, but her expression didn’t change ”Who knows if he’s telling the truth? Ignore him”
Shadowthunder nodded ”Your Majesty is right This subordinate doesn’t think it’s true, either Funnily enough, the Grand Preceptor even got into an argument with Elder Li over those very brushes”
Ning Xiaoyao cleared her throat ”Elder Li knows that the Grand Preceptor lost his brushes too?”
Shadowthunder nodded again
Ning Xiaoyao walked towards thethose brushes just yet, at least until after the news died down (Author: Just how much do you fear Elder Li? o(╯□╰)o)
”Your Majesty,” Song Jin ran through the gates of Supreme Splendor Hall with a report just then, ”The i for an audience outside the palace”
Ning Xiaoyao subconsciously looked towards Lou Zigui, who asked, ”How many of them came?”
”All the ones who should have co Jin replied in a low voice
”There’s no need for His Majesty to see the Xiaoyao ”You’re the e”
Ning Xiaoyao inexplicably felt that she was pretty awesome Everyone else fell silent instead Those are the imperial clansmen His Majesty’s currently at odds with the Grand Preceptor and e His Majesty to fight against the entire imperial clan as well?
”Then we’ll forget about the towards the hall, but now she turned to head towards the door instead ”I’ll go have a talk with Prince Fu instead”
Lou Zigui hastened to raise his hand and block Ning Xiaoyao’s way ”What is Your Majesty planning to talk about with Prince Fu? Don’t tellto ‘chat about life’ with him,”
”……” said everyone else Supreme Commander, can’t you be more respectful towards His Majesty?
”I heard Elder Li say that Fatty Fu has 10,000 plots of fertile far to take them off Prince Fu’s hands” She could useXiaoyao was a thorough planner, so she’d set her sights on those 10,000 plots of fertile farmland as soon as Elder Li had mentioned them
Lou Zigui said, ”Then is Your Majesty planning to give Prince Fu his official salary from the past two years?”
”Nope,” Ning Xiaoyao shook his head
to withhold his pay, but take Prince Fu’s lands as well? Everyone looked at His Majesty in awe to force Prince Fu to death froht?
Once again, Lou Zigui pulled Ning Xiaoyao over to a corner and asked her in a soft voice, ”Are you planning to dismiss the vassal lords?”
Ning Xiaoyao rubbed her nose ”What does that mean?”
Lou Zigui was rendered speechless again She didn’t want to pay Prince Fu, but she still wanted his land the vassal lords?
”Ah?” Ning Xiaoyao asked
Lou Zigui could only stand there and explain to Ning Xiaoyao what it meant to dismiss the vassal lords In the end, he emphasized one point, ”If you dismiss the vassal lords now, it’ll definitely lead to another war”
”Aren’t those princes not allowed to keep troops?” Ning Xiaoyao asked
”They’re not allowed,” Lou Zigui replied, ”But they have retainers to guard their estates and hired men as part of their retinue It’s precisely those people that make up their private armies”
Dis that connection in her head, Ning Xiaoyao said, ”I won’t do so a war That doesn’t match my personality”
to do with one’s personality? </eui still didn’t understand His Majesty’s words
”We’ll have a talk first,” Ning Xiaoyao lowered her voice ”If that doesn’t work, I’ll think of a way to secretly kill off Prince Fu instead”
Lou Zigui replied, ”Even if you kill off Prince Fu, his eldest son will still inherit his land”
”Heheh,” Ning Xiaoyao chuckled ”If I can kill off the father, why can’t I kill off the son?”
randson if you kill the son, too? </e in silence And you still want to say you’re not fierce and cruel?
