Chapter 287: Conspiracy (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

If that woman could help him kill the most threatening man, Fang Shuoyang… that would be great.

According to reason, Fang Shuoyang didn’t grow up in Eastern Darkness, so he shouldn’t have the right to fight for the throne.

However, his father might be muddle-headed. He asked Fang Shuoyang to come back home and even gave him military power.

In this way, if Fang Shuoyang went to the border to experience and toughen himself for two years, he would be a legitimate prince. His father was really affectionate and romantic, and he still couldn’t forget that lowly maid up to now!

She was just a lowly maid!

Thinking of that, the well-dressed man became furious.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and left the study…

In the imperial court of Northern Barbarians.

“Your Majesty.” n.o.ble Consort Chuan was gently ma.s.saging the shoulders for a middle-aged man.

This man was named Huhe Haoye, the emperor of Northern Barbarians.

And this woman was n.o.ble Consort Chuan, the emperor’s most beloved concubine.

After Huhe Haoye’s empress died, n.o.ble Consort Chuan became the only woman he loved. The other women in the harem exited in name only.

Although there were several princes in Northern Barbarians, only the Crown Prince was valued.

The Crown Prince was the son of Huhe Haoye and the late empress. n.o.ble Consort Chuan was infertile and the empress died early, so the Crown Prince was raised by n.o.ble Consort Chuan and the two of them were quite close.

n.o.ble Consort Chuan could actually be the empress later, but because she had a good relations.h.i.+p with the late empress, she’d rather leave the position empty than be the empress.

Therefore, there was no empress in Northern Barbarians at present.

Even so, n.o.ble Consort Chuan had been performing the duty and exercising the power of the empress for so many years!

Moreover, this woman was actually quite scheming. A lot of things in Northern Barbarians were even decided by her.

The emperor of Northern Barbarians also trusted her very much.

“Well, what do you want to say, Chuan’er?” Huhe Haoye asked.

n.o.ble Consort Chuan smiled faintly. “What are you worried about, Your Majesty?”

Huhe Haoye pursed his lips. “Chuan’er, we are now cooperating with Eastern Darkness… You know that. Recently, almost half of the spies of Eastern Darkness have been killed in Heaven Dragon. To be exact, most of them have been killed… The emperor of Heaven Dragon has changed a lot. He’s no longer that fatuous ruler… I think we were too reckless this time.”

The dignified emperor of Northern Barbarians used the word “we” when talking with this woman, which showed how intimate they were.

n.o.ble Consort Chuan frowned slightly when she heard the words. After a pause, she said, “The changes of that emperor are indeed unexpected. Things are getting tricky now.”

“Yes, it’s so troublesome.” n.o.ble Consort Chuan thought for a while and said, “That emperor has changed so much within a short time. According to our spies over there… I always feel there’s something fishy. Your Majesty, do you think… that emperor may be a fake?”

Those words stunned Huhe Haoye. “What?”

n.o.ble Consort Chuan smiled faintly. “He changed so much all at once. I believe that many people doubt him. Even if that emperor is a fake, he’s been pretending very well. Maybe we can make use of it.”

“But in what way?” Huhe Haoye immediately became interested.

“Let’s just spread some rumors. No matter whether he is real or not, let’s treat him as a fake and spread the rumors. Then, their state will be in chaos.”

“Well…” Huhe Haoye pondered. “If it can work, it’s really a good strategy.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, think about this. We don’t have many spies in Heaven Dragon and we’ve also lost some this time, but there are still many spies from Eastern Darkness. Even if many of them have been killed, there are still a lot of people left. We’ll tell Eastern Darkness about this strategy and watch them fight.”

“Dear, you’re so smart.” While speaking, Huhe Haoye held n.o.ble Consort Chuan in his arms.

“This strategy is really good. In addition, I heard that the emperor and the empress of Heaven Dragon are deeply in love, but in the past, the emperor hated the empress most. Besides, that empress is very capable. When we fought against them at the border, he saw through our plan of making poisonous creatures.”

“Oh? Is that… s.h.i.+ Qingshan’s son?”

“Yes! It’s s.h.i.+ Qingshan’s son. Our army has been defeated by s.h.i.+ Qingshan’s many times. I even want to eat him alive. We can spread the rumors that the emperor of Heaven Dragon is a fake and he’s now the puppet of the empress, so he always obeys the latter. Such rumors will definitely make Heaven Dragon turbulent. It’ll also be good if the emperor can have some scruples about the empress. s.h.i.+ Qingshan has always been loyal to the emperor. If his son dies in the emperor’s hands, would he still be so loyal? As long as s.h.i.+ Qingshan no longer leads the troops at the border, our army will have a chance to win!”

“Indeed.” n.o.ble Consort Chuan nodded. “As long as it’s not s.h.i.+ Qingshan… Well, let’s think about it and perfect this plan…”

“Right. Chuan’er, you’re talented and intelligent. This plan is very important, so I’ll leave it to you. Thank you in advance.”

“Your Majesty, don’t mention it. I belong to you, so there’s no need to thank me.”

“My dear Chuan’er.” Huhe Haoye hugged n.o.ble Consort Chuan tightly and kissed her lips. “But there is no rush to think about it. My dear, come and accompany me…”

While speaking, he suddenly stood up and carried n.o.ble Consort Chuan in his arms.

“Ah, Your Majesty.” n.o.ble Consort Chuan screamed coquettishly as her arms were wrapped around Huhe Haoye’s neck.

Huhe Haoye walked to the bedroom with the woman in his arms. Soon, he threw his consort into the big bed and rushed to her… A wonderful night begun…

Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou still didn’t know that they’d been plotted against.

They didn’t know what vicious plans those people had thought of…

They were still sleeping soundly in the imperial palace!

Long seemed to be dreaming and his lips even moved, as if… he was eating a big meal! Who knew what he dreamed about?
