No matter whether the usurpation of power is successful or not, Fu Youan will be scolded to death by those literati with pens whenever he takes any action.
Shen Jiao has sought power and usurped the throne more than once or twice. She is very familiar with this approach!
Fu Youan nodded slightly, "I know."
Those literati who talk about benevolence, justice and morality all day long are quite annoying.
If he wants to ascend the throne in a serious manner, he must find a good excuse. Otherwise, even if he now holds the world's military power, it will be extremely difficult for him to succeed.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Fu Youan said again.
As long as nothing happens to him, Chu Dingkun can only keep it in his heart no matter how many conspiracies and tricks he plots.
Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly and did not speak again. Instead, she accompanied Fu Youan to read a lot of the information she sent him.
The next day, the imperial edict was delivered to Prince Yong'an's Mansion, along with a lot of rewards.
The imperial edict probably meant that King Yong'an fell seriously ill because he was trying to protect Beirong Kingdom. I was very anxious. I was really happy to learn that he was recovering from his illness, so I sent him a bunch of rewards.
I hope King Yong'an can work for Beirong Kingdom with peace of mind in the future.
The imperial edict also said at the end that Shen Jiao was a lucky person, and the queen had also been ill for the past two days. He hoped that she could enter the palace to accompany the queen, and would send her back when the queen recovered.
Fu Youan immediately sneered, looking at the bright yellow imperial edict in the eunuch's hand, his eyes slightly lowered.
Chu Dingkun was anxious and wanted to hold Jiaojiao as a hostage in his hands.
Good idea!
When the eunuch was stared at by Fu You'an, his hands shook and he said tremblingly, "The emperor has sent a sedan to take the princess into the palace, and she is waiting outside the palace now."
He was reminding Fu You'an that the emperor has even sent a sedan chair. You have to send this person if you don't want to, otherwise he will be disobeying the decree.
When word gets out, this will not sound good.
As for Fu Youan not kneeling to receive the order, he pretended not to have seen it at all.
He knew it well. Fu Youan had been teased by the emperor for so long. Sooner or later, he would rebel and talk about respecting the emperor with a rebellious minister?
Too stupid!
I just pity this princess...
The eunuch sighed in his heart, the day Fu Youan rebelled would be the day she died!
Even a young eunuch could guess what Chu Dingkun was thinking, how could Fu Youan not know?
He didn't even intend to accept the imperial edict. He only glanced at her contemptuously and said, "My princess is weak and seriously ill, and it is inconvenient for her to enter the palace."
The eunuch looked embarrassed, "King Yong'an, this, this is the emperor's will, there is nothing I can do about it!"
If he doesn't pick up Shen Jiao today, he will lose his head if he goes back!
Fu Youan ignored him at all.
Shen Jiao was the only one standing by. She looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then took out her handkerchief and shook it lightly. She said very delicately: "The emperor's order cannot be violated. Since the emperor has summoned me, I will go."
It just so happened that she was worried about not having a chance to make a move?
The corners of Shen Jiao's lips raised slightly and she blinked at Fu Youan.
Fu Youan was a little puzzled. He pulled her away from the eunuch and explained softly, "It's not safe for you to go to the palace now."
"As long as you stay calm outside, everyone in the palace will respect me."
Shen Jiao stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Fu Youan's face, "You and Chu Dingkun are still in a stalemate, why not let me go into the palace to see if there is any opportunity."
"No, the palace is too dangerous."
He is not worried at all!
Fu Youan would rather move forward with his plan slower than let Shen Jiao go to a place where tigers and wolves are waiting.
But he couldn't defeat Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao gently rubbed the hair on his head for a while, then smiled at him again.
Fu Youan nodded doubtfully, and finally led her out with a dazed look on his face.
The eunuch was frightened and looked timid.
However, when he heard that Fu You'an relaxed, he immediately became happy again and hurriedly handed over the imperial edict to the servants of Prince Yong'an Palace. After Shen Jiao tidied up, he took her out respectfully.
Fu Youan stood at the gate, watching Shen Jiao sit on the luxurious soft sedan, feeling more and more reluctant to let go, wishing he could stop him on the spot.
Seeing the sedan go farther and farther, he wanted to regret it more and more.
I regret that I fell into a beauty trap!
But when he thought about Shen Jiao's words about wanting to go into the palace to help him, he felt warm and worried in his heart, fearing that she would be ignored by the palace people and bullied by the concubines.
"Master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send the princess into the palace."
Zhao Xu whispered something.
Fu Youan nodded solemnly, "It's inappropriate, so we have to hurry up."
Shen Jiao treated him deeply and was willing to risk her life for him, helping him hold Chu Dingkun back and stabilizing the situation for him.
When he is outside the palace, he must act quickly and get people around him.
"Someone must keep an eye on Qiao Chen."
Fu Youan's eyes darkened slightly. He didn't necessarily have to win over Qiao Chen, but he must not let Qiao Chen help Chu Dingkun.
Without Shen Jiao by his side, Fu Youan's tone suddenly became colder, as if he was in an ice cellar.
However, Zhao Xu was accustomed to this and responded "yes" skillfully.
Fu Youan mentioned a few more people, all of whom were very powerful courtiers in the court. Zhao Xu all agreed and started arranging the people to go.
Following his actions, the originally peaceful court suddenly became turbulent.
He was also busy, so busy that he only had two hours of rest throughout the day, and he had to go to the morning court in high spirits.
Qiao Chen reported illness and did not leave the house for several days. Fu Youan frequently appeared in the court, and all civil and military officials naturally took Fu Youan as their leader.
On this day, Fu Youan promoted another official whom he had just won over. Chu Dingkun was so angry that he pretended to be ill and left the court on the spot, returning to Qinzheng Palace.
"What a great Fu You'an. All civil and military officials obey his arrangements... He doesn't even want to pretend anymore!"
Chu Dingkun angrily overturned the porcelain in the Qinzheng Hall, and there was a sudden crackling sound in the room.
Xia Xun, who was waiting on him personally, quickly asked everyone else to leave. After Chu Dingkun lost his temper, he sighed and said, "I only regret that I didn't seize the opportunity last time."
"It's all Shen Jiao's fault!"
That damn sinner’s daughter!
If she hadn't served Fu You'an carefully after she left, how could Fu You'an still stand in the court and anger him?
Xia Xun handed him a cup of tea, "Don't worry, he won't be arrogant for long. There is no cure for Wuyou's poison."
When he mentioned this, Chu Dingkun felt much relieved.
Then he snorted coldly, "And Qiao Chen, why are you pretending to be sick at this time! Is he trying to support Fu You'an?"
Qiao Chen pretended to be ill in the past and delegated power to him, so he was naturally happy.
However, Qiao Chen pretended to be sick this time to give Fu You power. How could he be happy? He had already scolded Qiao Chen bloody.
It's hard to say this clearly, so I can only feel sulky in my heart.
Chu Dingkun didn't wait for Xia Xun's reply, and then said, "You said Shen Jiao..."
"No!"
Xia Xun shook his head quickly, "Your Majesty, you can't touch Shen Jiao now, otherwise you will be giving Chu Dingkun an excuse to rebel openly."
"Is it possible that I still have to support her?"
"It's just a temporary plan. With her in the palace, Fu Youan can't let go of his hands and feet to do things."
Xia Xun persuaded and persuaded again and again, and finally persuaded Chu Dingkun to go back from his idea of killing Shen Jiao.
He didn't let anyone touch Shen Jiao, he provided her with delicious food and drinks, and asked the queen to invite her to chat with her from time to time.
