Chapter 678: Chapter 660 - Everything Goes According to Plan_1
The Empress Dowager’s personal attendant, Shen Mamma, was getting worried too!
"Your Majesty, why not summon His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to the palace to discuss some countermeasures?"
"Foolish!"
The Empress Dowager was furious: "This matter is causing quite a stir right now. I reckon that the Prince Regent is preoccupied with it. If I were to summon him to the palace now, wouldn’t that give others yet another topic for gossip?"
She tried to get up, but a sudden bout of dizziness made her slump back into her chair.
Indeed, back in the day, the Ye Family and the Hua Family had intended to form a marital alliance, but due to various reasons, the marriage could not take place. She ended up entering the palace and becoming an Empress, and he headed straight to the northwestern army base, where he made his name by defeating powerful enemies with his own skills.
If the old affairs were dug up now that the two were being linked together, they might not be able to clear their names, no matter how eloquent they were.
"Your Majesty, precisely because everybody is watching, you should summon the Prince Regent back!"
Shen Mamma hurriedly analyzed: "Your Majesty, think about it. On a regular basis, the Prince Regent almost comes to the palace daily to discuss state affairs with you. If you suddenly severed ties with him, wouldn’t it be clearly exposing your own guilt?"
"Well said! Shen Mamma sees things clearly."
With a round of applause, Ye Han strode in from outside, expressing his approval. He then paid his respects to the Empress Dowager: "Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty."
The sight of Ye Han brought some color back to the Imperial Consort Hua’s pale face.
"Your Royal Highness, please rise."
Ye Han thanked her and stood up. He looked serenely at the Empress Dowager. His eyes were tranquil and did not dodge her gaze.
Once praised by him, Shen Mamma felt embarrassed and immediately bowed.
"Your old servant is unworthy!"
"No matter."
Ye Han waved his sleeve: "Shen Mamma is right. We can’t avoid this issue. Not only because of the question Shen Mamma pointed out, but the key is, if I can’t discuss state affairs and assist His Majesty with the Empress Dowager, it might just please the traitorous officials who are plotting betrayal and fulfill their wishes. This would result in more harm than good!"
"Correct! What the Prince Regent said is exactly what I am concerned about."
After a brief period of confusion, the Empress Dowager finally calmed down: "However, the news has already spread with the aid of those with ulterior motives. What are the reactions of the ministers of the court? How should we respond?"
Ye Han thought for a while before answering with heavy tone: "The reactions of the courtiers can be deduced in tomorrow’s morning court session. However, we still need to think thoroughly about the various considerations beforehand..."
That night, Ye Han stayed in the palace very late before returning to his mansion. The news, too, seemed to have legs of its own, spreading rapidly throughout Jingzhao Prefecture.
The next day, at the morning court session, even the several old ministers who had always strongly supported His Majesty pleaded illness and stayed home.
For a time, the atmosphere within and outside Jingzhao Prefecture was tense and unstable.
The news spread like snowflakes, naturally reaching all directions via various channels.
When Qin Hong received the news, the lobbyist sent by Qin Zitong had just left.
He stood on the tall Seven Star Tower with a perfect smile, watching the lobbyist leave the gate. From the lobbyist’s agitated expression, it wasn’t hard to guess that he hadn’t said anything pleasant.
Unable to help himself, he flicked the fan in his hand and fanned himself elegantly.
"So you’re saying that those old ministers who originally supported my Eighth Emperor Uncle are now in chaos?"
"Whether they’re in chaos or not, I can’t say. But, I suspect that they’re all losing sleep now." Mr. Jiang said with a face full of joy.
"This is just the beginning, the real trouble is yet to come."
Qin Hong chuckled coldly: "Send the command, everything must go according to plan, without any mistakes!"
"Yes! My lord, rest assured. We’ve rehearsed this situation countless times, there shouldn’t be any major problems."
Mr. Jiang confidently said.
"That’s good!"
Watching as the lobbyist for Qin Zitong boarded his carriage and left in haste, Qin Hong only then turned and descended the tower.
"It’s hard to believe that Prince Xuan still hasn’t given up, and dares to fantasize about having you submit to him."
Mr. Jiang hurriedly followed, shaking his head and sighing: "Unfortunately, Prince Xuan’s ambitions are too great. If you really did submit to him, I’m afraid...I’m afraid the next moment, we would all be dead."
Qin Hong knew his father, Qin Zitong, better than anyone else!
A man who could murder his own child, what else could he not do?
"I’m fully aware of this. But for now, we have no choice but to negotiate with him, after all, we just asked him for a favor."
As it turned out, not long ago, Qin Hong had just negotiated terms with Qin Zitong, and had all the people who had remained in Shengjiang and were being watched in the Qin mansion brought over to his side. The lobbyist who just left was the one who delivered these people from the Qin mansion.
After a short contemplation, Mr. Jiang shook his head, somewhat disagreeing.
"Actually, if my lord harbors resentment toward Marquis Qin, you don’t need to trouble the people of the Qin mansion. Those are just small fish, not worth mentioning."
"Who told you that the reason I want the people from the Qin mansion is to cause them trouble? That was just a pretext to deceive him. Mr. Jiang, don’t mention this again. By the way, where are the people from the Qin mansion now?"
While talking, Qin Hong walked out of the door.
Mr. Jiang hurriedly followed: "They are all in the guest rooms of the outer courtyard. If my lord doesn’t plan to give them a hard time, then... could it be that my lord’s intention is...?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and Mr. Jiang couldn’t help but shiver.
"There are some things that should be done and seen more and spoken less about, understand?"
Qin Hong found a gap to glance back at him, his eyes full of warning.
"I understand, I understand!"
Mr. Jiang repeatedly bowed and couldn’t help but sweat coldly on his back.
Thinking back to the recent news he had heard about his lord specifically arranging a farm for Su Pan’er, when combined with the current situation, a strange thought jumped into his mind, but he immediately shook his head in denial.
Impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
You know, Doctor Su is a married woman, and even more so, a woman who has just given birth. How could his lord, who is like a celestial being, possibly like her? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
In doing so, he didn’t know if he was trying to convince himself or someone else.
Arriving at the guest rooms of the outer courtyard, Qin Hong didn’t rush to enter, but stood outside, observing the frantic people inside.
As if sensing something, Su Huarong turned his head to look back at the first moment, his eyes meeting Qin Hong’s. A few more alert expressions instantly appeared in his eyes.
