Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fu Xu did not want his previous efforts to go to waste. He had been calm in front of Fu Ying for so long and spent so much effort to find a handsome man for Fu Ying. Wasn’t it all to make Fu Ying lower her guard against him and corrupt Fu Ying so that he could become the Emperor of Beicheng more smoothly? Therefore, he had no choice but to endure it. He said, “Then bring a few people to continue searching. Whether they can find him or not, so be it. When I become the Emperor, I will settle this score properly!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes.” The butler agreed.

“Your Highness, there’s one more thing,” the butler said.

“What’s the matter?” Fu Xu asked.

“The spies planted in the Empress Dowager’s palace secretly spread the news that the Empress Dowager plans to leave the palace in two days to pray at the National Guard Temple,” the butler said.

“That’s great!” Fu Xu was overjoyed. “I was just worried that I wouldn’t have a chance to catch that old woman! Fu Ying, that wretched girl, is a filial daughter. If that old woman falls into my hands, I won’t have to worry about Fu Ying not immediately giving up the throne to me!”

“I shall congratulate you on your promotion in advance, Your Highness.” The butler smiled and bowed before revealing a worried expression. “But Your Highness, will the Empress let the Empress Dowager leave the palace to pray? The Empress Dowager is the Empress’s only relative. Once she leaves the palace, she will be open to a lot of danger…”

Fu Xu looked down and smiled. “Even if she doesn’t agree, the old woman will still go. You don’t know, but I know. I’ve seen that old woman countless times and know her character. That old woman has always believed in whatever she needs to do. She is also stubborn, just like an old fogey. In this aspect, she doesn’t listen to others at all. Previously, when the previous Emperor was around, he could still restrain her. Now that the old woman had been promoted to the Empress Dowager, who would she listen to?”

The butler smiled. “Then I’m sure it won’t be long before Your Highness ascends to the throne.”

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan changed into night clothes again. This time, they sneaked into the Beicheng Imperial Palace.

The news had spread through the streets and alleys of the Imperial City. It was said that Ni Dingyuan slept together with Fu Ying. It wasn’t hard to find the Empress’s sleeping chamber.

There was no need to go to the harem. They went directly to Fu Ying’s bedroom.

They happened to see Wufu being led by two eunuchs into the side hall. They followed him quietly until Wufu entered the room. The two eunuchs did not enter but stood at the door. They followed Wufu inside and said, “Master Ni, when you are bathing, if you need anything, you must call us at any time. Last time, you casually said that no one would scrub your back. The Emperor blamed us for not attending to your call. It was difficult for us too, you know? You clearly aren’t letting us serve you.” After getting him to agree, the two eunuchs respectfully closed the door from the outside and stood guard outside.

From this conversation, they found that Wufu was the same as in Da Ling. No matter who he got along with, he got along very well.

Wufu had entered this room to take a shower. This was their time to strike.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan first waited for a while. Then, when the men outside were not paying attention, they quietly went over. Then, each of them knocked out the two young men. They pushed open the door of the room and dragged the two young eunuchs in. Finally, they closed the door from the inside and bolted it shut.

Xue Wufu was standing by the pool, his head lowered as he took off his coat.
