Chapter 1115: Ah Wan Enters the Palace, Ferocious Brother Jiu! (7)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Han Jingshus trip seemed to have given Yu Wan hope, but it turned all her hopes into despair. Yu Wan was in a terrible mood and did not have the time to take care of the Empress.

Ah Wan The Empress smiled and finally began to cut to the chase with Yu

Wan.

Han Jingshu was right. It was obvious that the Empress wanted to trick her, and Yu Wan was definitely not someone who would compromise with tricks.

Since the outcome was already decided, there was no need to waste time.

Yu Wan stood up and said, Your Majesty, Im tired. Ill take my leave today and visit you another day.

When she said this, she put on a rare act of holding her stomach, looking like she was saying, Im about to give birth and really cant afford to waste time. Hurry up and let me go back, or Ill give birth in minutes!

The Empress was a little stunned. Just now, you stood up more easily than if you were not pregnant. Why did it seem like your stomach weighed tens of pounds in the blink of an eye?

Although according to Yu Wans state, the current situation was normal. The problem was that Yu Wan had never been normal when she entered the

Fengshai Palace. She walked as if she was flying. Those who knew said that she was pregnant, but those who didnt know would think that she had only stuffed a pillow into her clothes!

The Empress couldnt care less about tidying up the confusion in her mind now. She also stood up and looked at Yu Wan steadily. She said pleasantly, Ive already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a banquet. Lets eat here at the Fengshai Palace at noon.

Her smile was warm and her eyes were gentle, but her tone was clearly not to be rejected.

Was she using her status as the Empress to suppress her? Yu Wan wanted to laugh. After not seeing her for a year, the Empress had become arrogant. She had probably forgotten who pulled her out of the Cold Palace back then.

What did the Empress say just now? Yu Wan smiled faintly at the Empress.

At this moment, Yu Wans aura also changed. She also smiled, but she exuded an aura that was even more domineering than the Empress.

The Empresss heart trembled. She understood that she shouldnt use her status to suppress others, but she was the Empress, so why couldnt she use her status to suppress others?

The Empress said seriously, I said, stay and eat with me!

What if I dont stay? Yu Wan said indifferently.

The Empress pinched her fingers. Ah Wan, you should understand that I like you very much

Yu Wan interrupted her. There are many people who like me, but I do not have to agree to everyone who treats me to a meal.

The Empresss eyes turned cold as she enunciated each word clearly. Im the Empress!

Yu Wan did not show any weakness. Im the Regent Consort!

The word regent consort made the Empress completely speechless. Back then, Yan Huaijing was only temporarily acting as a prince to supervise the country. Moreover, when she could attend court, she could not defeat Yan

Huaijing in court. Now that the Emperor had conferred Yan Jiuchao as the regent, not only did he seize Yan Huaijings authority to supervise the country, but he also removed her from her position of listening to politics. What did this mean

The power of politics completely fell into Yan Jiuchaos hands, and following that, Yu Wan became the true uncrowned Empress. It was not that the Empress did not understand this, so she was polite at first. It was Yu Wan who did not respect her at all that angered her.

If it were when she had just left the Cold Palace, she would not have been so out of line. However, this year, she had been living a good, smooth-sailing, and powerful life. It was to the extent that she gradually became a little smug.

Yu Wan looked at the Empress indifferently. Empress, people can be ungrateful, but they cant be ignorant. Take care.

Yu Wans words were a little harsh. If she was only her aunt, Yu Wan would definitely not be so rude. However, she was clearly an ingrate who did not know how to be grateful. She had probably forgotten how they pulled her out of the Cold Palace back then.

There was only a deal between them. She should not try to use her status as the Empress to suppress her, let alone trick her when Yan Jiuchao was not around. Since she had the intention to scheme against her, she should be prepared to be slapped in the face by her.

The Empress gritted her teeth. Arent you afraid of being scolded by the world if word gets out that youve offended your superior?

Yu Wan sneered. Im afraid the Empress has some misunderstanding about offending her superiors. What right does an Empress without any real power have to say that Im offending my superiors?

Actually, it was not a big deal. It was just that there was an embezzlement case in the court that had a lot of implications. The Empresss cousin was also implicated. Back then, she had suppressed this case when she was still listening to politics. Now, someone who did not care about his life had exposed it again and it was in Yan Jiuchaos hands.

The Empress believed that Yan Jiuchao was not a fool and would not easily touch the Ma family. After all, she was on the same side as Yan Jiuchao. Her maiden familys power was Yan Jiuchaos power. Wouldnt touching her cousin indirectly cut off Yan Jiuchaos own wings?

However, Yan Jiuchaos actions were strange. She was worried that her cousin would say something he shouldnt and offend Yan Jiuchao, so she wanted to talk to Yu Wan first and let Yu Wan to talk to Yan Jiuchao to show mercy to the Ma family.

He only embezzled a little money, he could just return it! Wasnt it supposed to be a small matter? But in the end it turned into a scene of two sides falling out.

It was this girl who angered her!

The matter that was bigger than a sesame seed became a situation that was almost irreversible!

In the end, the Empresss rationality prevailed. She decided to save their relations.h.i.+p. She took a deep breath, suppressed her boiling anger, and squeezed out a stiff smile. Ah Wan, youre young and hot-tempered. I wont argue with you anymore. Its fine if I get straight to the point. Were family. Its fine after the anger pa.s.ses.

Yu Wan smiled. Your Majesty, do you mean that its my fault? And Your Majesty, youre magnanimous and dont argue with me. Youre really a motherly woman.

Ah Wan! The Empress glared at her. She held back her anger and walked forward. She grabbed Yu Wans hand and was about to bury the hatchet when Eunuch Qin walked in in a panic.

Your Majesty! Eunuch Qin knelt on the ground with a thud, tears falling like rain!

Whats wrong? The Empress asked in a deep voice.

Eunuch Qin looked at Yu Wan and then at the Empress. He cried bitterly and said, Lord Ma Lord Ma was cut in half!

Lord Ma, the Empresss cousin, was the newly appointed a.s.sistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Back then, in order to obtain this position for her cousin, the Empress had used her connections many times and even forcefully transferred the former a.s.sistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He originally thought that the Ma family could rely on this relations.h.i.+p to rise step by step, but in just a few months, a.s.sistant Minister Ma was cut in half by Yan Jiuchao?!

The Empress felt the world spin and the blood in her body froze!

Cut in half!

He was actually cut at the waist!

The terrifying thing about being cut in half was that the person who was executed would not die immediately. After the person was cut in half at the waist, he would have to roll on the ground in pain for an hour before dying.

What a tragic scene.

It was also because the punishment of being cut in half was so cruel that it had long been deposed by the late Emperor. What did her cousin do to actually make Yan Jiuchao so ruthless?

Yu Wan believed in Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao seemed to be indecent, but he never took things lightly before serious matters.. Someone who could make him sentence him to death must have done something extremely evil!
