Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Discussing How to Deal with Shao He Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Discussing How to Deal with Shao He Before long, the Empress heard the urgent footsteps outside and turned to look at the door, only to see a tall, erect figure slowly approaching.

Second Prince Pei Chengye, clad in a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with golden auspicious clouds, walked with a straight posture.

He looked up at the woman seated at the head and slightly curved his thin lips, his gentle voice emanating from his mouth, “This son pays respect to mother.”

“Dispense with the formalities.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

“Cheng’er, you must perform well at your father the Emperor’s birthday feast this time, and you absolutely must not let anyone steal the limelight,” the Empress said earnestly.

“Mother, this son understands,” Pei Chengye bowed his head, concealing the peculiar look in his eyes.

“Since you understand, you must know not to let Pei Huaian continue his arrogance; otherwise, the consequences will be endless.”

The Empress had already started to regret that she initially hadn’t dared to act, leaving behind such a scourge.

“What does Mother plan to do?” Pei Feng nodded and asked.

“Since we can’t touch Pei Huaian for now, let’s first deal with Shao He and that child. This way, we can also weaken Pei Huaian’s power and make him disrupt his own ranks,” the Empress had long wanted to eliminate Shao He, but had never had the opportunity; this time, she would not let her slip through.

The medical skills of Shao He made her quite wary, especially after she had treated the Emperor a few times, making the Empress even more certain.

If this person could not be used by them, then he must be dealt with, or the consequences would be endless.

Although Pei Chengye felt somewhat regretful, he still nodded in agreement.

“This son feels that Mother is right; keeping this woman is inevitably troublesome.”

Upon mentioning this matter, the Empress glared at him angrily, “I heard that the spy you had finally managed to place in the Fifth Prince’s Mansion was easily ruined by you?”

Pei Chengye was startled, not expecting that this matter had eventually reached Mother’s ears.

“This son only wanted to use the spy to capture the child, thus forcing Shao He to comply. I did not expect him to be so foolish as to be discovered,” he said.

With things at this stage, Pei Chengye could only push all the blame onto the spy, his eyes momentarily flashing with ferocity. It appeared that Mother had not spared any effort in placing her people in his residence.

Otherwise, how could she have known about this so quickly?

“You are truly foolish, how could you act so recklessly? Do you really think Pei Huaian is just a boastful fool? In the future, it will be even harder to place someone there!”

The Empress shook her head helplessly, her son lacking prudence at every turn.

“This son recognizes his mistake; this time, this son acted without consideration. I hope Mother will calm her anger,” Pei Chengye said, bowing his head in a repentant manner.

In a place unseen by others, there was not a trace of regret in Pei Chengye’s eyes.

“Enough, let this matter pass this time, but in the future, do not be so rash, for this matter holds great importance,” the Empress sighed, her tone gentle.

“Mother’s teaching is right.”

“Now the Emperor highly regards Shao He, and making a move against him is not so simple,” the Empress furrowed her brows.

Pei Chengye bowed appropriately and said, “This son thinks, we can use Princess Ninghe to deal with Shao He. Princess Ninghe is not fond of those who get close to Pei Huaian. If we provoke them a bit on the side, relying on her brainless nature, she will surely confront Shao He.”

“That’s a good plan.”

“However, recently Pei Jingyi has been very close to her, and seems to have been in contact with Princess Ninghe frequently, seemingly planning to marry her. Why not use this to our advantage and deal with both of them at once?”

Pei Chengye had always harbored resentment regarding the previous matter of private silver minting; he always believed that if it weren’t for Pei Jingyi, then Pei Huaian wouldn’t be so esteemed by the Emperor.

And neither would he be caught by others, nor would the Zheng Family have become what it is now.

“This palace thinks this plan is feasible, but now that the Zheng Family has fallen, the impact on us is great. You must be more careful in your actions and must not let anyone seize anything against you,” the Empress said, now no longer able to be as high-profile as before, simply because there was no one behind her to support.

The only one she could rely on now was this son, hoping he could ascend to the position of Crown Prince; only then would the Zheng Family have the chance to regain its favored status.

“This son understands,” Pei Chengye bowed.

The mother and son exchanged smiles, both resolute about attaining the position of Crown Prince.

Since the Emperor learned the identity of Xiao Linzhang, he doted on him excessively, always holding him in his embrace whenever he saw him and even specifically having pastries prepared for him.

Sometimes when the child didn’t visit, the Emperor looked profoundly disappointed and especially instructed Shao He to bring the child along next time.

The Empress Dowager observed all this, thinking the Emperor wanted to hold his grandson, and immediately summoned several princes again.

“Your father the Emperor’s health worsens by the day, and his greatest hope now is to hold his grandson. I have selected a few women for you,” said the Empress Dowager, her tone shifting as she raised her eyes to Pei Haolan, who stepped forward and asked, “I have selected Lih Family’s legitimate daughter Li Luo for you, a straightforward and dignified young lady. Do you have any objections?”

“Grandson has no objections; whatever Imperial Grandmother selects, I will comply,” Pei Haolan replied respectfully.

The Empress Dowager was very pleased with his response, waved her hand to let him step back, and the question fell to the others.
