The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
116. Zhu Man Xie's Ambition
The bewildered Pei An Long to take a step went to meet the retired Emperor to discuss the matter with him. The emperor recounted what happened during the awarding banquet which ended in a shocking tragedy at the palace. The event that was supposed to be lively and boisterous with a proud applause ended quietly.
The two Xin brothers finally earned the award for their dedication to helping the people. In addition to getting awards and respected status in the community, they also get prizes in the form of houses and money.
The next announcement was that it turned out that it was still someone else behind the success of the two Xin brothers who had given them the idea so that they could make a waterwheel and be able to make it in some places so as to reduce the impact drought happened this year.
Referring to the manufacture of waterwheels, over time, they can even apply the basic principles of mill making to make some tools that can help with work that usually requires many workers to do. That person was none other than Lu Jing Yu who had just astonished them at having successfully escaped from Zhu Man Xie's evil plan.
Due to his services, Lu Jing Yu also obtained a new title of Honorary Empress whose status was one level above that of King Consort and one level below that of Crown Princess. The third level Emperor's concubines also still had to pay their respects to him upon meeting.
On his new title, Lu Jing Yu earned a lot of praise from all sides. Lu Qin Hao, Du Mei and Lu Jing Yi even put the impact on hold with everyone busy praising them for support.
"The boy is smart. Then, you didn't come here just to praise him, did you?" The retired Emperor raised his eyebrows.
"I'm sure you'll know what happened next without me telling you."
"I am not a monk who gains the power of the Buddha so as to know what is happening in this world." The retired Emperor glanced at Pei An Long as he sipped his flower tea gently.
"Tck. Empress Yuan, Zhu Man Xie. He has shown his bad temper by plotting to make Empress Rui's good name tainted. I guessed it was because he felt worried that Empress Rui would be a strong candidate to become a competent crown princess candidate so as to lower King Rui's points in a time when King Yuan would not even have qualification for it."
"I told you to appoint the crown prince from the beginning."
"But it's not that easy dad. I know for myself that rotten child always refuses. Now that he's willing to accept after I threatened him with using his wife, it's not that easy. Those old ministers have their support."
"That's easy. Give Xi'er the task of giving him a chance to show his achievements so that there is a chance to elevate him to crown prince."
"really. What about Empress Yuan? Although she has been proven guilty, she is pregnant with the descendants of the royal family at this time. It's impossible to punish him if so, right?" Pei An Long asked seriously.
"A trivial matter like that you can't handle?"
"It doesn't matter if he's from an ordinary family. Empress Yuan was from the Zhu family. Queen's Family. Mister Zhu Yao Yan will also definitely not remain silent if I take action on his granddaughter. The strength of the Zhu family in this empire was immense. If we offend him, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
"I understand."
"Hemp! You must improve your ability to overcome problems or you will cause destruction to this empire."
"Good dad. It's late. I won't bother you anymore. Good night dad."
"Hem."

With a fluffy smile on his proud lips, Zhu Man Xie stroked his flat stomach as he looked at Pei Qin Yang who was sitting in front of him with a complicated face.
"What Muka doesn't want this baby? I can drink the potion to abort the womb if indeed Your Majesty does not want it then I will go to the palace to accept my punishment."
"Don't think too much. I won't forgive you if you harm that baby in your belly."
"Not that the healer has said clearly that my condition affects health and safety for this right? So in order to keep my esmois condition stable, His Majesty must know what His Majesty should do. Your Majesty is not entirely stupid to be unable to understand."
"I knew. I'll do it."
"That's great. Now, I feel cold. Can Your Majesty hug me?" Zhu Man Xie smiled at his lips which did not reach his eyes. Right now in Zhu Man Xie's eyes there was only a desire to become a Queen no matter whose corpse he was about to step on.
