Chapter 187 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (37)
There were two more people in Weiyang Palace. This news was only delivered to Qianqing Palace and the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs the following morning.
In two places, a crackling sound came out simultaneously.
The mess on the ground testifies to their anger, jealousy, and bitterness.
They were clearly two newcomers, yet overnight they became the people in her bed.
How could this not be distressing?
But no matter how much it hurts, it's no use.
Wen Songzhi held a shard in his hand, letting the sharp edge cut his palm. The pain spread throughout his body, but it couldn't suppress the heartache in his heart.
If only he had a healthy body...
Without saying a word, Ying Yi headed straight for Weiyang Palace, stood at the entrance for a long time, and then slowly walked closer.
He met Ruan Ruan's gaze, which was bruised under her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Has she left?"
He could tell at first glance that those two wretched children were coveting his brother and sister-in-law!
Yingyi felt a mix of bitterness and resentment. He was a hypocrite; just because he could covet his sister-in-law didn't mean others could.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of sending Li Yanming and Li Yanli back to guard the tomb.
He never expected that these two wretches would act so quickly; they had only met during the day, and dared to climb into his bed that very night.
But incredibly, they actually succeeded!
This puts Yingyi in a very awkward position. He still doesn't dare to get close enough to touch the Empress's bed.
If he had known, he would never have left Weiyang Palace last night, even if he had stayed to keep watch for the Empress. What was the point of approving those memorials? Could they be more important than the Empress?
Yingyi waited for Ruan Ruan's reply while feeling annoyed and regretful.
Ruan Ruan spoke expressionlessly: "How could I possibly leave?"
"If it were your turn, would you leave?"
Ruan Ruan rolled her eyes at Ying Yi. The two people, both filled with jealousy, stared at the gate that separated the two worlds, their eyes equally cold, as if they were about to grab a big sword and chop the gate down at any moment.
Fortunately, Bai Yu and Bai Zhi were with him. They both knew Ying Yi's identity and had no other thoughts. They simply stood at the door, afraid that Ying Yi would break down the door in a fit of anger.
Ying Yi's eyes flashed, his gaze sweeping over the two of them. The jealousy that had been rising in his heart quietly subsided. He then looked steadily at the inner hall and called out to Ruan Ruan, "Go to the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs to discuss important matters."
After calming down a bit, Yingyi became much more composed. He glanced at the palace gate, as if he could see the two vixens climbing into his bed, and snorted coldly, "Go ahead and climb, they won't be the last ones anyway."
Ying Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. Ruan Ruan met his gaze with a puzzled look. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. As she walked out of Weiyang Palace, she couldn't help but whisper, "That's right. Once Her Majesty ascends the throne, she will need many servants. They are nothing special."
Upon hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Ying Yi glanced at her with some appreciation, his eyes conveying a sense of "she is teachable."
That's why the Empress will inevitably have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. What are Li Yanming and Li Yanli compared to them? In the end, no one can surpass the status of these old men.
Yingyi and Ruan Ruan copied this idea onto Wen Songzhi, causing the already extremely saddened Wen Songzhi to widen his eyes in an instant, somewhat at a loss.
...that makes a lot of sense?
"Don't think too much about it. Let's think about how to get control of the military first."
Let's put Li Yanming and Li Yanli's affairs aside for now and talk about military power.
Ruan Ruan dug out various military deployment maps of the Li Kingdom. Although she couldn't understand them, she focused on the idea that participation was key.
The main point is still what Wen Songzhi and Yingyi are saying.
Compared to Yingyi, who was always trained as a shadow guard, Wen Songzhi is stronger than both of them.
He tapped his finger lightly on the table and said, "Today I will go to the Princess's residence to have a good talk with Princess Anning. As for the rest of the military power..."
He looked at Ruan Ruan: "The Princess of Yuanjia, who lost her father at a young age, has 30,000 Wei family soldiers under her command. Go and find a way to contact her."
Ruan Ruan blinked, her mind already calling for the childbirth system.
With the childbirth system, she knows everything about everyone.
The Princess of Yuanjia, Wei Wanqing, was eighteen years old. She lost her father at a young age and was raised by a group of generals in the Wei family army. She lived in the army and led the Wei family army to many victories. She was a rare military talent.
However, there were no female officials or generals in the imperial court. No matter how capable Princess Yuanjia was, she was only granted the title of Princess and could not officially achieve the prestige of a female general.
Ruan Ruan's eyes lit up slightly. What a talented general! If we can win her over, we can have a female general in the court one day!
While the three were diligently discussing and planning their future dynastic change, Li Yanming and Li Yanli had already reluctantly left the Weiyang Palace.
They were unaware of the emperor's situation and feared that if they were caught, it would implicate their sister-in-law. So, no matter how reluctant they were, they hurriedly left the palace.
After they left, Leyan regained consciousness.
Supporting her aching back, Le Yan sighed deeply. She would never say "merely" again; this was truly beyond her capacity to bear.
I'll never do it again!
After setting a goal, Le Yan called Bai Yu and Bai Zhi in. After listening to their account of what had happened from last night to this morning, she waved for them to leave.
Leaning against the bed railing, Le Yan seemed lost in thought.
Last night, in the heat of passion during our intimate moments, she didn't forget to try and get a few things out of me.
Regarding the matter that Wen Songzhi had been unable to find out, which involved helping the Li Yanming brothers, she finally got the answer from the two of them.
As always, the Third Prince who gave Li Yanxiu the drug that would prevent him from having children—regardless of what kind of person he was, he certainly had some kind of personal charisma.
Otherwise, even though the man had been dead for more than five years, his subordinates would still be single-mindedly determined to avenge their master, willing to risk their lives to kill Li Yanxiu.
Furthermore, the forces behind these three remnants of the kings are quite formidable. Despite being suppressed for so many years, they were still able to help Li Yanming and Li Yanli spread rumors about the emperor far and wide in a short period of time. They are quite capable.
Le Yan couldn't help but think how much easier it would be if she had such a group of capable people under her command.
Having conceived the idea of recruiting them, she genuinely wanted to extend an olive branch to those remaining followers.
It's just avenging the Third Prince. This might be difficult for others, but it's a piece of cake for her!
Thinking of this, Le Yan nodded silently, "I can give it a try."
Anyway, nothing will happen, so I might as well give it a try.
When the time comes, let Li Yanming and Li Yanli do the work for her.
It wouldn't be right for us to not work after eating all the meat.
Le Yan assigned tasks to the two brothers without any hesitation. Only when she was a little tired did she look up at the bright sky outside the window, puff out her cheeks, and then snuggled back into her warm bed.
She'll put everything else aside for now and catch up on some sleep.
