The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 231
The harmonious atmosphere of the morning was so felt in the eastern palace. Although Pei Zhang Xi was very busy lately after he accepted his new assignment leading the team in charge of finding and addressing the cause of the disappearance of many citizens, he always took the time to have breakfast together with Lu Jing YU and Pei Zhi Hui.
The higher the rank of a person, the greater the responsibility he must carry. As more responsibility must be carried out, the time remaining will be less. Both Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing YU understood this very well since they decided to accept the position of As a potential ruler. In addition to their lives that will change completely, their time together will also be much reduced. That is why the two always hold the principle that the only time left to spend together is at breakfast time and will not waste that time just like that.
"I heard some palace servants talking about the disappearance of some villagers in some areas. Is that true?" Lu Jing Yu asked as she chewed her food. Pei Zhang Xi sighed heavily. Although some of the problems are in the monitoring, it does not rule out the possibility of the plot running is not in accordance with the plan. After all, a person's mind and heart are very easy to change. Especially if faced with urgent conditions, the plan that has been prepared with maturity can even change in the blink of an eye. And to continue to ensure the situation remains in conditions favorable to his side, Pei Zhang Xi has to take care of many things and has been home a few days late at night every day.
"Yes. That's right." Pei Zhang Xi nodded.
"Has Your Majesty been busy lately because of this matter?" Lu Jing Yu asked in sympathy. Not only because of this problem her husband had to overtime every day and take their time, but because he was very sad that the news really happened. In that era, human lives like animal lives were even lower than that. Sometimes, losing a human life is much easier and simpler than slaughtering a chicken.
"Yes. For this matter, I have demoted my subordinates to investigate her. And the results were very surprising. Some people hid deep in the forest to form an army." Pei Zhang Xi replied without any intention of hiding this from Lu Jing Yu, he believed his wife was trustworthy.
"Are they people from the palace?" Lu Jing Yu furrowed her brows.
"Who else? People from other Empires would not dare to act rashly. But these people don't move on their own either. They were cooperating with other Empires to attack."
"There must be a price to pay, right?"
"of course. And it's not cheap."
"Well... I don't understand how their minds go. Why not choose to coexist peacefully rather than attack each other just for pseudo-power." Lu Jing Yu sighed as she shook her head.
"That's the name of man. What he has will always feel less and want more and more. It is human nature. Depends on how man himself to take decisions and steps." Lu Jing Yu simply nodded her head in agreement with Pei Zhang Xi's opinion.
"That's it. Don't think too much." Pei Zhang Xi had finished the contents inside his own bowl.
"Well... I may not be able to help much, but if Your Majesty is facing a big problem, Your Majesty can talk anything and anytime with me." Lu Jing Yu nodded obediently as she spoke seriously.
Pei Zhang Xi looked at the serious Lu Jing Yu and couldn't help but have his hands stretched out and pulled Lu Jing Yu's chin. Close the eyes of Pei Zhi Hui who was on Lu Jing Yu's lap when he ******* the pursed lips comically and only stopped as Pei Zhi Hui whined as her round eyes that had previously looked at Lu Jing Yu sparkled closed forcefully and left only dark.
"If you intend to share my problems with you, I am very grateful for that. Wait for me tonight and help me get rid of the burden that's piled up in my mind." Lu Jing Yu was already busy with Pei Zhi Hui whining so much that he did not even have the chance to scold Pei Zhang Xi who with all his heart smelt him in front of their son when Pei Zhang Xi whispered in his ear and mischievously toyed with his ear lobe.
Lu Jing Yu had only managed to calm Pei Zhi Hui after so much effort and did not want to make the baby come back cranky. So he couldn't do anything to Pei Zhang Xi who again stole a kiss on his cheek before the man ran away avoiding Lu Jing Yu's cruel plot.
After Pei Zhang Xi walked out of the dining room, Xiao Bei and Chu Fei immediately entered. Breakfast time, Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi were indeed not very fond of being served, after all the time they could talk quietly only at breakfast time. Sometimes they will talk about important matters when they are both, so it would be safer if there is no one around.
"Your Majesty, there's news of King Wei's residence." Chu Fei spoke up immediately.
"Yes. I heard from the servant serving the Emperor that Consort Yao came and asked permission to enter two concubines into King Wei's residence today." Chu Fei said. Lu Jing Yu was silent for a moment in surprise. He had not expected this matter to come sooner. Yun Ying's womb had just prepared to receive a baby and had just entered the stage of the pregnant program. If there was a problem like this, how would Yun Ying's mentality not be disturbed?
"Send people to find out the developments in the Wei residence and report to me immediately. The most important thing was to see how Empress Wei's current condition was." Lu Jing Yu gave the order after thinking for a while.
Ku Jing Yu was sure that Yun Ying was not as weak as she looked. A woman who has lost her child-to-be several times is even stronger than anyone in the face of such a problem.
"Your Majesty." Chu Fei was more reliable for this kind of matter than dnean Xiao Bei. The servant girl immediately withdrew and came out of the eastern palace to carry out her duties.
In one of the Concubines' residences inside the Harem, a beautiful woman sat in front of her in-laws. The two women of different generations both had serious faces as they both spoke. The entire servants from both sides had been expelled and had only left the two of them inside the room. After all, they would talk about a very secret serious matter. It is important for them to maintain information security between them only.
"Are you guys crazy?" The mother-in-law almost lost her temper and hit the table when her daughter-in-law told her mother-in-law the information.
"No. Of course not. It's called determination and courage. We tell mom is so mom can help and support your plan. But if you don't want to help, we hope you don't ruin our plan." The daughter-in-law looked at her mother-in-law with disdain.
"Huh! Trouble has come like this, I can't just be quiet." The mother-in-law snorted. His eyes showed a strong determination.
"It's good if you understand what's best." The daughter-in-law was satisfied.
"Here, I don't care how mom's gonna do it, I just want to get the results."
"You just calm down. I won't let you down."
