The Red Bride - Chapter 29
The Emperor, high on his throne, threw a deadly glare at the kneeling officials, “One day.”
Governor Yan banged his head on the floor twice, “Thankyou Your Majesty! Thankyou Your Majesty!”
Tang Feng waved his hands, “Take them away.”
Governor Yan bolted out the doors without looking back, worried that if he did, he would end up headless. The guards stuffed the gag backed into Xian Bo’s mouth and dragged the two prisoners back into the dungeon. Once the doors closed again, Tang Feng looked slyly at the Emperor.
“Stirring the grass to scare the snake is indeed the best method,” Tang Feng spoke up.
Hu Feng coldly glance at the Imperial Tutor, “Where is Yu Lang?”
The foxy man flapped open his fan and said casually, “In the Xue kingdom. It looks like he’s allying himself with their Emperor.”
The Emperor’s face was still stone cold, “Foolish.”
Tang Feng laughed behind his fan, “The Yu and Fa family doesn’t see far enough. They think that as long as they overthrow us and let Yu Lang become Emperor then they own the world. The Xue kingdom is not so kind as to lend a hand and not reap benefits.”
“The Empress Dowager has too much time on her hands. Have the golden seal, robes, and scepter move to Mu Qing at the Flower Viewing Party,” his icy words ordered.
The light sliver fan snapped shut and Tang Feng looked meaningful at the Emperor. It seems like Mu Qing is more important to Hu Feng than he lets on. For decades the Empress Dowager has enjoyed fully running the inner palace and being above thousands and under one due to the fact that she held the Golden Virtuous Seal, the Dignified Sun Flared Robes, and the Valiant Pearl Scepter.
It was given to her by the late Emperor and once Hu Feng took the throne, she refused to give it up by saying that the inner palace does not have an Empress. Now that Mu Qing is here, it is only natural that she becomes the owner of the inner palace. The Empress Dowager does not have any more excuses, but she rather die than to give up all that power.
“It will be done, but that old hag will not give them so easily. Without them, she will not be able to gain support for the Yu and Fa family to revolt,” Tang Feng replied.
Hu Feng tilted his head a little, “The faster we light the fire, the faster we can extinguish it.”
The Imperial nodded his head and start walking towards the door. His light blue robes moved smoothly like a gentle stream. His eyes held a mischievous glint and a little sly smirk appeared on his face. He must meet this infamous Empress that can affect the frigid Emperor today.
“Hu Feng, I think it’s time for me to meet your infamous wife. Send for me if you need me.”
