Intrigue dominates the world 2017 Dark waves surge

  "Why is your ladyship so angry?"

  Facing Consort Yu's nearly out-of-control questioning, Yuan Wuyou seemed unexpectedly surprised.

  The Empress Dowager coldly snorted: "Why not get angry? The situation that my son and I are in today is all thanks to your parents!" If it weren't for Liu Shi back then, perhaps the current Great Yuan Empire would be a different scene, and she and her son wouldn't have been separated for eighteen years.

  Yu Wu's calm and collected voice replied, "I don't think so." The king was defeated by the bandits, in that battle, it was either someone else died or she herself would die. If it were her, she would also try every means to make others die, only if others died could she survive, right?

  Empress Dowager and her son seemed to be victims, but when she gave birth to the Crown Prince, they inevitably became involved in the struggle for imperial power and naturally lost their innocence.

  The Gu family, a newly emerging prominent clan in Bianxi, although their sphere of influence is thousands of miles away from the capital, who wouldn't be envious? Who wouldn't be on guard?

  Gu Consort simply made the wrong choice. She chose to help Third Prince, and if he had won back then, her situation with Crown Prince would have been entirely different!

  As for why she chose to help the third prince who tried to make a comeback, it's not important now. What's important is that Empress Dowager Gu lost her luck, so she lost!

  Yuan Wuyou thought so and openly expressed her thoughts, which successfully enraged Consort Gu. She was so angry that she trembled with rage, pointing her finger:

  "You... are indeed worthy of being Yuan Haotian and Liu Yinghua's daughter, with a ruthless and unfeeling streak in your bones just like your father."

  Yu Wu was quietly watching her, slowly saying: "Since the queen also agrees that Yu Wu and the emperor are equally cold-blooded and ruthless, then why not think about it? Although Yu Wu and he are father and daughter, they are also enemies who killed their mother. The father-daughter relationship has long been broken since the empress dowager was given poisoned wine. If there is no longer a father-daughter relationship, what's left?"

  The Empress Dowager stared blankly like a wooden chicken, unable to look away from her.

  The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and Wu You naturally handed the mallet back to Imperial Consort Ke, slightly inclining her body, whispering: "In other words, the Tenth King used something you didn't need to exchange for a new life for Wu You. This deal was already worth it for him, not to mention... the kindness of rebirth, repaid with sincerity, Wu You helping him defy the heavens, regardless of the outcome, but isn't the process itself already wonderful and satisfying?"

  After finishing speaking, she elegantly stood up and politely bowed to Imperial Consort Yu: "Today's zither lesson ends here, don't worry, you may leave first." After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

  Looking at her back, Empress Dowager Gu suddenly felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. At such a young age, she had mastered the art of calculation and ruthlessness with such ease and nonchalance. What kind of monstrous daughter had Yuan Haotian and Liu Yinghua produced? One that inspired such trepidation?

  Yu Worry walked out of the Return to Buddha Hall, and Chao Shou stood outside the door, watching her with a vigilant expression. Lan's nanny nodded slightly.

  Yu Zhu saw her coming out and hurriedly went forward to put a cloak on her.

  Madam Lan watched as the master and servant walked away together, then hurried into the inner palace to help up Concubine Yu who was sitting on the ground. She said anxiously: "Miss, this Princess Worry-Free... is too wicked, you should reconsider carefully."

  The Empress Dowager grasped Lan's hand tightly, her voice a little hoarse: "No, I'm even more determined now." Only by being colder and more ruthless would she truly be able to help Huan'er. She wasn't helping the daughter of Yuan Haotian, but rather the enemy of Yuan Haotian.

  "But..."

  The Empress Dowager waved her hand, stopping Lan's advice. A cold smile appeared on her pale lips: "Later I will write a letter, you pass it to Huan'er, he knows what to do."

  The old lady knew it was no use saying anything more, so she just sighed and said respectfully: "Yes, miss."

  ……

  At the same time, the palace of Queen Jie was also not peaceful, with hidden waves surging.

  The second prince, Yuan Xia, hastily entered the palace, with sweat even seeping from his forehead. Yu Fei saw him so flustered and her heart skipped a beat. She gave a signal to Ji Gonggong by her side, who nodded and waved his hand to dismiss the eunuchs and palace servants attending to them, before retreating to the outer palace to guard it personally.

  "Xia Er, what's wrong?"

  Yuansheng rushed over and exclaimed in a sorrowful and flustered tone: "Empress Dowager..."

  The Jade Concubine, who was leaning against the luxurious fragrant couch, almost jumped up: "What's going on?"

  The second prince closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes. With a pained expression, he gritted his teeth and said: "Big sister... she's dead."

  Yu Fei's beautiful eyes widened in shock, her slender fingers trembling as she pointed at the Second Prince kneeling on the ground: "You... you... say it again..."

  The second prince knelt deeply on the ground, choking back tears: "Your child asks Mother Empress to forgive his sins. It was your child's incompetence that failed to protect Big Sister." At that time, he was really flustered and made a ruthless decision without thinking it through. Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that this decision was indeed inappropriate.

  Yu Fei's face was devoid of any blood color, her body trembling violently beyond control, her fists clenched tightly, and she forced out the words from between her teeth: "Wh...why? If you don't give Empress Dowager an explanation today, Empress Dowager won't forgive you. She is your own flesh-and-blood sister."

  The second prince cried out in grief: "I know I was wrong." He also knew that he and the princess were siblings of the same mother, but precisely because they were siblings of the same mother, one honor would bring glory to both, and one loss would harm both. That's why he panicked, now he regretted it, and panicked again.

  Yu Fei pointed at him with a pained expression, saying sternly: "I just want to know what unforgivable mistake my elder sister made, that you... could bear to leave her no way out?"

  Yuansheng cried with a runny nose: "Big sister...the pearl is miscarried."

  "What... did you say?" Yu Fei's entire body went limp as she fell onto the fragrant bed, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at her son kneeling at her feet.

  "Absolutely true, Your Majesty, I don't dare hide anything."

  Yu Fei closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently for a long time before she finally calmed down and reopened her eyes. Her expression was gloomy and ruthless: "Who is it?" She wanted to flay him alive.

  Seeing her calm down, the Second Prince heavily knocked his head and said with difficulty: "This matter is impossible for me to handle, I hope Mother will handle it. What I'm worried about now is how to properly arrange the funeral of my elder sister." After all, the elder sister still needs to be examined by the palace maids, if not handled properly, this matter will lead to more trouble.

  Crack! A crisp slapping sound echoed through the quiet inner hall, and the Second Prince's face was slapped sideways.

  Bang! Yu Fei slapped another palm, slapping the Second Prince's face to the other side.

  Two slaps on both sides, Yu Fei showed no mercy at all. Two clear red handprints appeared on the Second Prince's pale face.

  Yu Fei gritted her teeth: "Do you know why Empress Dowager hit you?"

  The second prince rubbed his face and nodded in remorse: "I know I was wrong."

  "What's wrong?"

  "The child shouldn't have killed the princess because of a momentary impulse." He really regretted it, at that time his brain seemed to be confused for a moment, only thinking of killing the big princess who was losing face, now thinking about it, he felt very regretful in his heart.

  "Wrong."

  Slap! Slap! Two more slaps, Yu Fei hit hard.

  The second prince lifted his swollen face and stared at Yu Fei in dismay: "Mother... Mother Fei."

  "The Empress is heartbroken, Xia Er. You have truly disappointed the Empress. This matter could have been handled in a much better way, one that would have both saved your elder sister and put an end to the trouble. But with what you did, not only did you fail to eradicate the problem once and for all, but you also left behind a huge hidden danger. In this palace, simply being ruthless is not enough; the most important thing is that whatever you do, you must have a plan for dealing with the aftermath before taking action, rather than recklessly acting first and then waiting for the Empress to clean up after you."

  What kind of palace is this? It's a place where people eat each other.

  Now she seems to be in a good situation, but who knows how she spent her life?

  Before the emperor ascended to the throne, he had to rely on the support of the Liu family. The Queen Mother, who was from the Liu family, suppressed these concubines so much that they didn't even have a chance to breathe.

  In the Wang's mansion, they were as silent as cicadas in winter, no one dared to have any thoughts, guarding empty rooms without daring to show resentment or jealousy.

  When the Emperor ascended to the throne, these elderly people who followed him were all enfeoffed as nobles, but Liu was honored as the Holy and Primary Empress, surpassing all others in honor and favor within the palace.

  After the emperor ascended to the throne, Liu's family was not spared from having their children aborted due to repeated miscarriages. How could they have given birth to imperial princes and princesses? They were promoted to the rank of imperial consorts, but despite this, only they knew the hardships and bitterness they endured for those ten years.

  The Liu family had been in power for ten years, and they could do nothing but bow their heads and obey, even if they were pregnant with the emperor's child; whether they lived or died depended on a single word from the Liu family.

  Not daring to compete for favor, not daring to curry favor, still having to pay respects morning and evening, going to the Liu's residence at dawn.

  After Liu's death, they seemed to be favored and thought that they had a chance, but suddenly realized that what they feared most was not Liu who had oppressed them for thirteen years, but the Emperor.

  Nowadays in the imperial court and harem, the emperor holds all the power alone. If he wants someone to live, they will live; if he wants someone to die, they must die.

  The harem was peaceful for five years, but it was just five years.

  Zhong Gong, Dong Gong two seats are vacant!

  Who can enter the main palace, who's imperial son will naturally take over the east palace. Such a fatal temptation, who can resist? Who doesn't want to?

  But wanting to return is still a slow process, and before they can make any moves, the Emperor demoted Consort Liang. They all understood that this was the Emperor's warning.

  She didn't know what Mei Fei and Ning Fei were thinking, anyway she was intimidated. She thought to wait a few more years, but... the heavens didn't wait for her, and instead gave birth to such a useless thing that only knew how to be reckless and cruel!

  Now, it's impossible not to think about it; if I don't think about it, then I'd rather die!
