Chapter 1115: Ah Wan Enters the Palace, Ferocious Brother Jiu! (7)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Jingshu’s trip seemed to have given Yu Wan hope, but it turned all her hopes into despair. Yu Wan was in a terrible mood and did not have the time to take care of the Empress.
“Ah Wan…” The Empress smiled and finally began to cut to the chase with Yu
Wan.
Han Jingshu was right. It was obvious that the Empress wanted to trick her, and Yu Wan was definitely not someone who would compromise with tricks.
Since the outcome was already decided, there was no need to waste time.
Yu Wan stood up and said, “Your Majesty, I’m tired. I’ll take my leave today and visit you another day.”
When she said this, she put on a rare act of holding her stomach, looking like she was saying, “I’m about to give birth and really can’t afford to waste time. Hurry up and let me go back, or I’ll give birth in minutes!”
The Empress was a little stunned. Just now, you stood up more easily than if you were not pregnant. Why did it seem like your stomach weighed tens of pounds in the blink of an eye?
Although… according to Yu Wan’s state, the current situation was normal. The problem was that Yu Wan had never been normal when she entered the
Fengshai Palace. She walked as if she was flying. Those who knew said that she was pregnant, but those who didn’t know would think that she had only stuffed a pillow into her clothes!
The Empress couldn’t care less about tidying up the confusion in her mind now. She also stood up and looked at Yu Wan steadily. She said pleasantly, “I’ve already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a banquet. Let’s eat here at the Fengshai Palace at noon.”
Her smile was warm and her eyes were gentle, but her tone was clearly not to be rejected.
Was she using her status as the Empress to suppress her? Yu Wan wanted to laugh. After not seeing her for a year, the Empress had become arrogant. She had probably forgotten who pulled her out of the Cold Palace back then.
“What… did the Empress say just now?” Yu Wan smiled faintly at the Empress.
At this moment, Yu Wan’s aura also changed. She also smiled, but she exuded an aura that was even more domineering than the Empress.
The Empress’s heart trembled. She understood that she shouldn’t use her status to suppress others, but she was the Empress, so why couldn’t she use her status to suppress others?
The Empress said seriously, “I said, stay and eat with me!”
“What if I don’t stay?” Yu Wan said indifferently.
The Empress pinched her fingers. “Ah Wan, you should understand that I like you very much…”
Yu Wan interrupted her. “There are many people who like me, but I do not have to agree to everyone who treats me to a meal.”
The Empress’s eyes turned cold as she enunciated each word clearly. “I’m the Empress!”
Yu Wan did not show any weakness. “I’m the Regent Consort!”
The word “regent consort” made the Empress completely speechless. Back then, Yan Huaijing was only temporarily acting as a prince to supervise the country. Moreover, when she could attend court, she could not defeat Yan
Huaijing in court. Now that the Emperor had conferred Yan Jiuchao as the regent, not only did he seize Yan Huaijing’s authority to supervise the country, but he also removed her from her position of listening to politics. What did this mean
The power of politics completely fell into Yan Jiuchao’s hands, and following that, Yu Wan became the true uncrowned Empress. It was not that the Empress did not understand this, so she was polite at first. It was Yu Wan who did not respect her at all that angered her.
If it were when she had just left the Cold Palace, she would not have been so out of line. However, this year, she had been living a good, smooth-sailing, and powerful life. It was to the extent that she gradually became a little smug.
Yu Wan looked at the Empress indifferently. “Empress, people can be ungrateful, but they can’t be ignorant. Take care.”
Yu Wan’s words were a little harsh. If she was only her aunt, Yu Wan would definitely not be so rude. However, she was clearly an ingrate who did not know how to be grateful. She had probably forgotten how they pulled her out of the Cold Palace back then. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
There was only a deal between them. She should not try to use her status as the Empress to suppress her, let alone trick her when Yan Jiuchao was not around. Since she had the intention to scheme against her, she should be prepared to be slapped in the face by her.
The Empress gritted her teeth. “Aren’t you afraid of being scolded by the world if word gets out that you’ve offended your superior?”
Yu Wan sneered. “I’m afraid the Empress has some misunderstanding about offending her superiors. What right does an Empress without any real power have to say that I’m offending my superiors?”
Actually, it was not a big deal. It was just that there was an embezzlement case in the court that had a lot of implications. The Empress’s cousin was also implicated. Back then, she had suppressed this case when she was still listening to politics. Now, someone who did not care about his life had exposed it again and it was in Yan Jiuchao’s hands.
The Empress believed that Yan Jiuchao was not a fool and would not easily touch the Ma family. After all, she was on the same side as Yan Jiuchao. Her maiden family’s power was Yan Jiuchao’s power. Wouldn’t touching her cousin indirectly cut off Yan Jiuchao’s own wings?
However, Yan Jiuchao’s actions were strange. She was worried that her cousin would say something he shouldn’t and offend Yan Jiuchao, so she wanted to talk to Yu Wan first and let Yu Wan to talk to Yan Jiuchao to show mercy to the Ma family.
He only embezzled a little money, he could just return it! Wasn’t it supposed to be a small matter? But in the end… it turned into a scene of two sides falling out.
It was this girl who angered her!
The matter that was bigger than a sesame seed became a situation that was almost irreversible!
In the end, the Empress’s rationality prevailed. She decided to save their relationship. She took a deep breath, suppressed her boiling anger, and squeezed out a stiff smile. “Ah Wan, you’re young and hot-tempered. I won’t argue with you anymore. It’s fine if I get straight to the point. We’re family. It’s fine after the anger passes.”
Yu Wan smiled. “Your Majesty, do you mean… that it’s my fault? And Your Majesty, you’re magnanimous and don’t argue with me. You’re really a motherly woman.”
“Ah Wan!” The Empress glared at her. She held back her anger and walked forward. She grabbed Yu Wan’s hand and was about to bury the hatchet when Eunuch Qin walked in in a panic.
“Your Majesty!” Eunuch Qin knelt on the ground with a thud, tears falling like rain!
“What’s wrong?” The Empress asked in a deep voice.
Eunuch Qin looked at Yu Wan and then at the Empress. He cried bitterly and said, “Lord Ma… Lord Ma was cut in half!”
Lord Ma, the Empress’s cousin, was the newly appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Back then, in order to obtain this position for her cousin, the Empress had used her connections many times and even forcefully transferred the former assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
He originally thought that the Ma family could rely on this relationship to rise step by step, but in just a few months, Assistant Minister Ma was cut in half by Yan Jiuchao?!
The Empress felt the world spin and the blood in her body froze!
Cut in half!
He was actually cut at the waist!
The terrifying thing about being cut in half was that the person who was executed would not die immediately. After the person was cut in half at the waist, he would have to roll on the ground in pain for an hour before dying.
What a tragic scene.
It was also because the punishment of being cut in half was so cruel that it had long been deposed by the late Emperor. What did her cousin do to actually make Yan Jiuchao so ruthless?
Yu Wan believed in Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao seemed to be indecent, but he never took things lightly before serious matters.. Someone who could make him sentence him to death must have done something extremely evil!
