Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C288

Shen Youhuang pretended to inquire in front of the emperor’s bed while looking through the pearl curtain, watching as his imperial concubine ordered for him to stay silent. After all, the emperor had already woken up, he still had to continue acting the role of a filial prince.

Moreover, Honorable Su and Li Wan and his concubine were only chess pieces to him. If he used them, he would be crippled. He would not have to stand up for them and plead for mercy.

The imperial concubine walked to the side, sat down on a chair, and then called over Forbidden Army to command Du Kai.

“The Forbidden Army’s commander, Du Kai, was incompetent in terms of protection, but he was actually able to cause the plague to flow into the Qianyuan Palace, and almost missed the life of the emperor! Do you know your fault!? ”

Du Kai had also been feeling guilty for not protecting the emperor properly. Now that he heard the imperial concubine’s reprimand, how could he dare to explain half a sentence?

The imperial concubine then said: “Death penalty can be exempted, life imprisonment cannot be avoided, Du Kai has been demoted to the position of vice commander in charge of Forbidden Army, and he has been pondering for ten days after returning home.”

Du Kai knew that this was already a lenient punishment, he wholeheartedly accepted it and kowtowed: “This subject obeys.”

When Shen Youhuang saw the people that he had once used, demeaning them and restricting their movements, his heart felt even more resentful.

It didn’t matter much for Venerable Su and the others, as there were countless concubines in the harem. Without these two, it would be easy for them to bribe others.

But if this Du Kai were to be demoted, then there would still be a Shangguan Jin in the Forbidden Army Battalion, and they would have to wait for the promotion!

Shen Youhuang hurriedly walked out and said: “Imperial Noble Concubine, how exactly did the plague get in to the palace, we still need Commander Du’s leadership to investigate. He had led the Forbidden Army Battalion for many years and was very loyal to it. For the sake of the safety of the Qianyuan Palace, Commander Du cannot take the leave of absence. ”

He said this out of selfishness, but Du Kai misunderstood him, thinking that Shen Youhuang was being impartial and selfless. He gratefully looked at Shen Youhuang and said: “I am truly ashamed for Your Highness to trust this subject so much. It’s just that this subject was wrong and was willing to be punished. ”

Shen Youhuang did not expect him to say these words. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

The imperial concubine thought for a moment, then walked into the bedchamber, and gently asked the emperor:

“Your majesty, Prince Cheng is right, Forbidden Army cannot not be commanded by anyone. So, we should temporarily let your concubine’s brother Shangguan Jin lead the Forbidden Army Camp and properly clean up this loose atmosphere. What does your majesty think?”

The emperor braced himself and listened to the imperial concubine’s words before nodding, “Imperial Consort, you can do whatever you want. Shangguan Jin, I trust you … ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she could not help but feel even more happy.

Shen Youhuang’s dark and gloomy gaze swept across the imperial concubine, thinking, this imperial concubine was clearly taking the chance to let his own brother take the position. After Du Kai thought about it, he would return to the palace.

He had never thought that after so many days of planning, his efforts would come to naught!

On the contrary, he allowed Shen Yusu to cure the emperor’s plague and even cut off Shen Youhuang’s right hand in the middle of the Qianyuan Palace with an excellent reason!

His stomach was filled with anger, but he couldn’t show it at all.

With the emperor’s orders, the imperial concubine was already a little impatient to announce Shangguan Jin’s promotion to the position of Forbidden Army Commander.

After sitting at the Qianyuan Palace for a while, she saw that the emperor’s face had gradually turned red. The imperial physician also reported that the emperor was safe and sound, and thus, reluctantly took her leave.

After that, he instructed Yu Su, “His Highness King Xuan, I will now go and issue an order for General Shangguan to arrange the Qianyuan Palace Guards. I will have to trouble you to keep watch over the emperor. I will be back very soon.”

Yu Su said respectfully: “Imperial Noble Concubine, go ahead. Yu Su is right here, make sure royal father is safe and sound, then go back to the epidemic area.”

The imperial concubine nodded, not allowing Shen Yusu to send them out, as if she was afraid that if he left, the emperor would be viciously attacked again.

This kind of precautionary approach made Shen Youhuang extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

Yu Su could not see him off, so she sent him outside the door and screen before turning back into the hall.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from the side. Shen Yusu turned around and saw Shen Youhuang standing at his side with a gloomy face.

This time, not only did Shen Yusu not fall into Shen Youhuang’s trap, he had even defeated him. He could not help but feel somewhat pleased and laughed softly: “Prince Cheng, what’s wrong, royal father is getting better, you don’t seem to be too happy right?”

Shen Youhuang laughed sinisterly, looked at the golden throne room in front of the Qianyuan Palace and said coldly: “Sixth brother, you have grown wings so you might as well mock and ridicule your elder brother. He had only cured his father’s illness, yet he had become so complacent. He was indeed a child. “Don’t forget, this is your time. I’m afraid you still haven’t seen exactly which direction the wind is blowing on!”

There was clearly a hidden meaning behind these words.

Shen Yusu was not as straightforward as him. He understood the hidden meaning that Shen Youhuang was talking about just after thinking for a little.

The other party was saying, if Shen Yusu was able to see the situation clearly, everyone would want to do so. Don’t think that just because you are capable, you are going against the most powerful Prince Cheng, you are blind! How could he eat good food in the future?

Shen Yusu laughed disdainfully, “In the wilderness, Bei Feng is obviously blowing towards the south. However, in this palace with layers of buildings, the wind would turn whenever it meets an obstacle. Since Fourth Brother was so keen on guessing the direction of the wind, he should know that this Bei Feng had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Who could possibly be in control of him? “I’m afraid even Fourth Brother didn’t see clearly what time it is.”

Although he was also hinting at it, every word he said was a counterattack towards Shen Youhuang.

Because Shen Youhuang didn’t even know that Shen Lingjue had already returned to the capital, and furthermore, he didn’t know that the change in the situation in the harem was precisely the result of Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan adding fuel to the fire.

Since Shen Youhuang doesn’t know anything, it is no wonder he is still so arrogant. But how long can he be proud of himself, it will depend on the mood of His Highness King Yu.

Shen Youhuang snorted, his gaze turned cold as he swept his gaze across Shen Yusu’s body like a sharp sword, and angrily left the Qianyuan Palace.

The news of the Emperor turning the tide was quickly relayed back to the Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Feng Ningyan looked at the letter and revealed a relaxed smile.

“Yu Su’s medicine has been taken care of, and the emperor’s plague is over. Imperial Concubine used the reason that her concubine and Forbidden Army weren’t enough to protect her, to demean Senior Su’s and Li Wan Xia’s position, and let Du Kai go home to reflect on his own for ten days. This time, the emperor can finally rest and recuperate in peace. We can also have a good night’s sleep! ”

Shen Lingjue burned the letter into ashes on the candle, and in his deep eyes, there was a flicker of fire.

“Today’s counterattack is only the beginning.”

Feng Ningyan frowned and nodded his head: That’s right, although he had cut off Shen Youhuang’s right hand and hand in the harem, there are also a lot of ministers supporting him from the previous dynasty, and the key is that most of them are in the shadows, it will not be so easy to cut them off.

Shen Lingjue couldn’t help but smile when he saw her serious expression. He grabbed her hand and allowed her to sit on his lap.

“My wife is responsible for taking care of matters without worry. As for the matters in the previous dynasty, I will naturally settle them myself.”

At this time, Luo Yunxuan came upstairs to report that Nan Gong Xingyao and Chu Zhao had returned.

Before he finished speaking, Nangong Xing Yao skipped up the stairs and bowed, “Ah Yao greets Your Highness, Royal Consort!”

Behind her followed Chu Zhao.
