Smiling Phoenix Overwhelms the World - C301
“Yu’er, all these years Shen Ao Tian treated you well?” Xia Hou Bo suddenly changed the topic and asked solemnly.
“Brother Wang, why do you ask this …” Xia Hou Yu lowered his eyes, his face slightly red, but a bitter feeling flashed in his heart. Okay? If half a year was considered good and he hadn’t stepped into the Hua Qing Palace, then three years wasn’t enough for him to say anything about it. Seeing Xia Hou Yu like this, Xia Hou Bo had already guessed a thing or two.
“Brother Wang wants to rebel and become king!” After saying this, Xia Hou Yu raised his head and looked at Xia Hou Bo in disbelief. His body was also swaying a little in shock.
“Brother Wang, you want to rebel?” Xia Hou Yu’s eyes were filled with fear, even if Shen Ao Tian did not have any feelings for him, he was still respectful to Xia Hou Bo, and the position of the Xia Hou family today was entirely due to Shen Ao Tian, if he wanted to rebel against them, Xia Hou Yu would not be able to accept it, and even if Shen Ao Tian was merciless to her, she still had Shen Ao Tian in her heart, after loving him for so many years, even if there was nothing left, it would be better than becoming his enemy.
“Brother Wang knows that you still have feelings for Shen Ao Tian, but the current situation does not allow us to hesitate, the Xia Hou family’s power is already half of the Southern Vietnam, such a power will definitely be hated, Shen Ao Tian does not move against us, one reason is that he does not want to slap his own face, such a power is given by him, how can you take it back, it is impossible for him to kill the enemy, how can you know that he has not set up his own people in the border towns, secretly monitoring us. Secondly, he wanted to leave this contribution to the future crown prince to show his authority as the crown prince. In the end, in his heart, he still protected his two sons, so no matter who became the crown prince, their lives would not be good, and they might even end up exterminating their entire family! Rather than that, it would be better if we strike first! ” Xia Hou Bo calmly analyzed with determination in his eyes.
“What does Brother Wang want Yu’er to do?” Although Xia Hou Yu was unwilling, Xia Hou Bo’s words were true. She understood Shen Hanxin, he even dared to use his father’s concubine to get rid of him. What else could he not do? On the other hand, Shen Hansheng, who had yet to become Crown Prince, had already laid such a heavy hand on Xia Hou Yu. If he were to become an emperor in the future, why would he treat Xia Hou’s family so courteously?
“I want Shen Ao Tian to be like Duan Chen …” Xia Hou Bo solemnly spoke, his eyes as cold as a knife.
“Brother Wang is implying that you want Yu’er to poison Shen Ao Tian’s food?” Xia Hou Yu’s long, shapely eyebrows knitted together, his heart was extremely troubled.
“I have no intention to take Shen Ao Tian’s life, as long as he does not take over the court, settling him down at random for a hundred years would be letting him down. The poison is already prepared, here are five bags, as long as he can take it five times, he will be a fool.” As he spoke, Xia Houbo took out five paper bags from under the table and placed them on the table. He then looked at Xia Houyu.
“Brother Wang, are you sure you want to do this?” Xia Houyu looked at the medicine bag on the table and asked, a conflicted look still in his eyes.
“It’s imperative!” Xia Hou Bo had already made up his mind. There was no way out for him. Seeing Xia Hou Bo like this, Xia Hou Yu silently picked up the medicine bag on the table and put it in his pocket.
“Brother Wang, when do you plan to make your move?” As a member of the Xia Hou family, they were said to be prosperous together, and suffering losses at the same time. Now that her royal brother had decided on this, she naturally had no way out.
This old man has already secretly adjusted the forces of the few border towns, which will take at least half a month, but there’s no need to rule out that Shen Hansheng will do me harm during this period, so you have to be prepared at all times. Once something happens, you and Yu Ying will follow this old man and occupy the southern border. Xia Hou Bo’s gaze was like a blade, his eyes flashing with the cold light of a bloody battle.
Southern Yue, Yi Qing Palace.
The candle flame swayed, and the fragrance curled upwards. The pink veil fluttered in the breeze, adding a bit of elegance and fantasy to it. Qing Que’s transparent veil covered her delicate body, faintly revealing her exquisite figure which made one’s imagination run wild. The wind blew, and the window frame moved twice. Qing Que slightly opened her sleepy eyes, and looked calmly at the person who came.
“I wonder what orders King Mu has for us this time?” A lazy voice came out of Qing Que’s mouth. Despite facing such a monstrous face, Qing Que was still unmoved. Her heart had already been captured by another face.
“Imperial Concubine Qing’s aura is much greater than that of the previous Lifei …” Shen Hanxin raised his brows as he looked at Qing Que who was sitting on the imperial concubine’s chair. He was originally a woman who had only been looking for him in an emergency, he hadn’t expected his to be such a ruthless person.
Although none of the concubines in the harem can compare to Qingque, but Qingque is a person who knows how to repay favors. If Mu Wang has orders, feel free to speak of it, but if Qingque King has the ability, he definitely will not reject them! ” Qing Que slowly rose to her feet and placed both hands on the imperial chair, slightly raising her delicate face, proudly looking at Shen Hanxin. The current her was no longer the most adorable girl in the past, even if she had met Imperial Consort Hua, she did not need to kneel down, showing her great honor and pampered.
“It’s great to be young. Just this tender white skin is not something that that old demoness Xia Houyu can compare to …” As Shen Hanxin spoke, he had already walked up to the chaise longue, his slender fingers caressing Qing Que’s snow-white neck.
“It’s better for King Mu to speak frankly about her intentions for coming here. Her Majesty has come to the Warm Pavilion every night …” Qing Que seemingly unintentionally stood up and left, then she immediately picked up a set of luxurious clothes from the bed and covered herself with them. Seeing Qing Que’s actions, Shen Han Xin naturally understood what was going on. Her thin lips slightly pursed into a smile, and then she took out a paper bag from her chest pocket.
“This is a supplement that this king has specially prepared for royal father. As long as Empress Qing can place this item in royal father’s wine and drink it, then we can persuade royal father to seal this imperial decree with the seal of the Southern Yue. Then, Mu King will be eternally grateful …” Shen Hanxin took out an imperial edict that he had drawn up long ago and placed it on the table.
Qing Que raised her eyebrows upon hearing her voice, walked to the side of the table with a sway, and spread out the imperial edict. Surprisingly, she saw the words that were passed to Mu Wang, Shen Han Xin, on it, and couldn’t help puckering her lips.
“Mu Wang is indeed bold. She doesn’t even want to take a step away from the crown prince and actually wants to ascend to the throne?” Her charming eyes slightly raised, Qing Que casually placed down the imperial edict, and looked at Shen Hanxin with interest.
“How is it? “Qingfei isn’t willing?” Shen Hanxin didn’t like the look in Qing Que’s eyes, there seemed to be a glint in them that he couldn’t control, but he was sure that as long as Qing Que didn’t help him and didn’t report the matter to the old thing, it would do her no good.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, I’m just thinking that if the Emperor were to pass on the throne to Mu Wang, then wouldn’t Qing Que have gone from being a imperial concubine to an imperial concubine? Status and treatment are naturally not on the same level, and it will not benefit Qing Que in the slightest. For such a thankless task, what kind of reason would Qing Que need to be willing to do it? ” Qing Que naturally understood the reason why Shen Han Xin was so fearless. On the surface, it was not easy to offend him, but he wouldn’t be so foolish as to bet his life in the hands of this man like Lifei.
“What does consort Qing want?” As long as This King is able to do it! ” Shen Han Xin vowed. At that time, he did the same thing to Liu Yu’er.
“I might as well put it in a more practical way, because Qinghu admits that he is not a person who covets fame and fortune, and knows that the imperial harem is very dangerous, like Qinghong who is not familiar with the affairs of the world, it is not easy to have a smooth sailing life in the harem, so if King Mu agreed to have Qinghong leave the palace on the day of his ascension, Qinghong would be able to help.” Qing Que said indifferently, her eyes showed no ridicule.
“Is that all?” Shen Han disapproved.
“Of course, earning a living naturally requires money. I believe that the Mu King won’t object if Qing Que wants three million gold for the rest of her life to be her pension, right? After all, compared to the position of emperor, which one of the more important ones is the Mu King? Qing Que said indifferently, her eyes remained calm.
“Three million silver? Even if she looted all of the Mu King’s Manor, she wouldn’t necessarily get three million taels! Since consort Qing is unwilling, then let’s pretend that This King has never come here! ” Shen Hanxin was about to leave when he was stopped by Qinghou.
“Qing Que didn’t say that she was going to settle this matter first. As long as the Mu King is willing to take out one million silver first, Qing Que will naturally hand over the decree with the Imperial Jade Seal to the Mu King. How about it?” Qing Que said firmly, her voice full of confidence.
“Even a million would require time!” Shen Han Xin turned to look at the girl beside her. No matter how she looked at it, she didn’t seem like a greedy person. A trace of doubt flashed in her heart.
“Qing Que needs at least ten days to finish this. She can afford it!” Speechless, Shen Han Xin pursed her lips, left the imperial edict at the Yi Qing Palace and left immediately.
Not even two hours after Shen Hanxin left, Qing Que summoned her personal maid, Xing’er, and ordered her to bring a letter to the Residence of Han swiftly.
Even though it was already late at night, Shen Hansheng was still holding a meeting with the seven saints in the main hall.
“Young master Shen has thoroughly offended Xia Hou Bo today …” Peony cherry lips slightly opened, disapprovingly said, their plan is not mature yet, offend Xia Hou Bo too early, can only make him increase his guard, their action is extremely disadvantageous.
“It seems like we have to move quickly. Otherwise, if we let Xia Hou Bo take the initiative, we’ll be on the defensive!” Peony suggested.
“May I know what is Mister Shen’s thoughts on this matter? Let us hear it for you so that we can learn from your thoughts!” Cui Yu looked at Shen Hansheng, who was seated in the middle, and said solemnly.
Looking at it now, Shen Hanxin does not seem to have any intention of joining hands with him. According to this king’s views, it would be better to first get rid of Xia Hou Bo. As for Shen Hanxin, even if he does, he will not be able to do anything! As long as you guys are ready, you can make your move at any time. This duke will be in charge of leading Xia Hou Bo away from Xia Hou’s residence. Today in the main hall, Shen Hansheng was not acting impulsively. Only by angering Xia Hou Bo would he be able to expose his weak point. Only by doing so would he have an excuse to make a move.
“Whatever, since Young Master Shen has said so, you must work hard, Jiao Feng! As long as you can tie Jiao Feng down and hand Xia Hou Bo over to Baili Chuxiong, we have the confidence to destroy the rest of the Blood Swallows overnight. ” Peony looked at Jiao Feng with interest.
“Big Sis is laughing at Jiao Feng. Other than that wooden fish head Ye Li under Young Master Shen’s command, what else did Jiao Feng miss?” Cai Die pursed her lips and laughed, showing a playful expression.
“Damned girl, if you continue speaking, be careful of Fifth Sister pulling your tongue!” “Don’t worry, I have Jiao Feng under my control. You just need to set a date and leave him to me …” The delicate phoenix willow slightly perked up with full of confidence.
“In that case …” Just as Shen Hansheng was about to speak, Ye Li hurriedly walked in. The moment he saw Ye Li, all the saints cast their gazes towards Jiao Feng, causing his to have an extremely unsightly expression.
