Chapter 556: Chapter 281: The Furious Empress_3

"We succeeded by seventy percent, which wasn’t perfect. Right now, we cannot directly control the Asura Queen, and we weren’t able to make Jiang Wan appear, many subsequent plans cannot be implemented."

However, the good news is, we can wait, and the Asura Queen will eventually emerge. As for those more than thirty thousand who escaped, they will have to be dealt with later."

Zhou Yin sighed in relief, looking at the Emperor and said, "Father, why don’t I send Ms. Yue to kill Jiang Mo."

"Killing him at this time... "

The Emperor tugged at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand, "Alright, you may leave."

Zhou Yin seemed to have more to say but, seeing the old supervisor giving him a look, closed his mouth, and respectfully bowed before leaving.

After the Crown Prince had left, the old supervisor said softly, "The Crown Prince is just young; it’s normal for him to have a temper."

The Emperor slightly closed his eyes, "But he needs to have brains."

The old supervisor didn’t dare to respond.

The Emperor said self-mockingly, "Actually, I also lack brains, or else I wouldn’t have been deceived by that girl Ye Zhuchan. If I had been more cautious earlier, I would have already seized the Haotian Divine Transport, and wouldn’t have needed to deal with all these miscellaneous issues."

A few notes of helplessness appeared on the old supervisor’s wrinkled face.

That girl really is extremely cunning.

No wonder even a character like Li Guanshi is wary of this disciple.

"Since Xin’er has obtained the Azure Dragon, let him go to the Ten Thousand Mountains in a few days to search for the dragon’s lair, and if he really can subdue the dragon lineage, I will rest assured giving him some authority."

Emperor Zhou Chang stood up, hands clasped behind his back, "Even, in the future, the Asura Undead Army might be handed over to him."

The old supervisor nodded and said, "The Crown Prince is capable enough for this great responsibility."

"Whether he is capable or not, time will prove."

The Emperor said coldly, "Empress Dowager Xiao plans to train that girl called Yelü Miaomiao as her successor; when the time comes, let Xin’er compete with this girl to see which future ruler is more outstanding."

He picked up another encrypted letter on the table and handed it to the old supervisor:

"Nanjin Country says that the Prince Wan Yan Wu Hai was expelled from the royal family, and they didn’t know anything about his actions. They plan to apologize for this matter, what do you think?"

The old supervisor took the encrypted letter, glanced at it, and smiled, "They are being very cautious. It seems the old Emperor there can’t hold on much longer and hasn’t decided on a successor yet.

Since that’s the case, we might carry out some plans to help Nanjin Country’s old Emperor choose a Crown Prince."

The Emperor nodded slightly, "Tell those hidden in Nanjin Country that they can act now."

"Yes."

The old supervisor carefully placed the encrypted letter on the table and walked out of the great hall.

Zhou Chang watched the old supervisor leave, picked up the just-read encrypted letter, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and pulled out a thin sheet of paper from the torn-open letter.

He glanced at the contents, then burned it, hands habitually tucked into his sleeves, and slowly paced back and forth in the empty hall, lost in thought.

After a long while, he sighed lightly and muttered to himself while looking around the hall, "A solitary ruler, a solitary ruler... unable to find a single soul to confide in."

He walked out of the palace, wandering aimlessly within the imperial palace.

Unwittingly, he arrived at the Empress’s chambers.

"Is the Empress here?"

Zhou Chang asked the lady-in-waiting.

The lady-in-waiting knelt on the ground and carefully replied, "To report back to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not in the palace."

Zhou Chang nodded and gestured for her to leave.

He was somewhat puzzled.

The Empress seldom left the palace before, but recently she had been going out frequently.

However, he found it difficult to decipher Luo Wanqing’s thoughts; he and his wife, for twenty years, seemed even more strangers than actual strangers, even seeming like enemies at times.

Zhou Chang sat outside the Empress’s chamber, somewhat sentimental and melancholic.

Maybe the only one who could really accompany him to the end was the Empress.
