The Love Imagination System

Section 129: Cooperate with the Emperor

Emperor Baili was again startled by Qingyi's sudden arrival. Her young aunt-in-law slipped back into her study in a very strange costume.

Not the woman cat costume she wears today, but a blue super girl costume with a red mini skirt. Fortunately, she wore red socks and stockings until the skirt did not expose her legs.

If that were to happen, Baili Qingchen would probably go berserk.

“What else this time?” asked Emperor Baili with a puff.

The reason is, this young aunt always goes into her study at will. Surprisingly again he was so great that the guards and eunuchs around his palace did not notice it.

Emperor Baili guessed this woman must be about to say something. Last time, he threatened him with the existence of the Jingyi Cavalry until Emperor Baili was forced to release King Changle sooner.

“Uh, your sensitivity level turned out to be well developed, Your Highness.”

“Speak directly to the point! Tell me, what do you want this time?”

Qingyi chuckles. Emperor Baili has not changed his battle. His hatred and dislike for her still clung strongly. Funny, Qingyi thought. The number one person in Bingyue, who made everyone submit to him this was extremely stubborn and his heart was like a stone. Supposedly if he had a conscience, the way he looked at Qingyi had to change.

Ah, the author's arrangement of this character is really difficult to change.

“Why is His Majesty in such a hurry? Do you want me to leave immediately?”

“I have a lot of business. My time cannot be wasted on serving your nonsense.”

Qingyi almost threw a paperweight in the face of her niece-in-law. His mouth always uttered words that were not pleasant to hear. What nonsense? He hasn't even said anything yet. Qingyi took her breath for a moment, calmed down and told her heart to be a little patient.

“Are you not investigating Empress Dowager Ming's incident?” ask Qingyi.

Emperor Baili's forehead frowned. Apparently, he knows too? Emperor Baili only told his uncle to investigate secretly.

With his instructions, it was impossible for him to tell his empress about this. Emperor Baili felt that the incident of Empress Dowager Ming's fall was not as simple as it seemed. He was sure someone had planned it.

Since he was busy taking care of the matter of the Litao Pavilion's assassin, he handed his investigation to Baili Qingchen.

In reality, Emperor Baili still needed the help of his uncle after everything that happened. His uncle became the only person he could rely on in the heat of the current political and court situation.

Emperor Baili stood calmly staring at Qingyi. “What do you know?”

“That girl planned it.”

Qingyi had already investigated it clearly. Thanks to the misunderstanding between him and Baili Qingchen, he had gotten what he wanted.

The pimp's aunt, though not politically savvy, understood several things about the situation in the government. The brothel that Qingyi bought from her was used to dig up information from some officials who had come as guests. Even though he had bought the place, he still gave the management rights to the pimp aunty on condition that all information should be conveyed to her appropriately.

Yesterday, the pimp's aunt sent a letter explaining that she heard one of the officials who was on good terms with General Zhao helping Zhao Ping’er plan the incident of Empress Dowager Ming.

As he expected, the sweet, mature-minded girl wanted to climb to higher ground. It seemed that he wanted to use his artificial services to ask Emperor Baili to grant him a decree and marriage license. Unfortunately, the trick was too cheap.

“You sure?”

“I never say untested conclusions.”

Emperor Baili seemed to think. “You want me to cooperate with you?”

“Maybe it can be said so. The general's daughter will collect his services. So, Your Majesty, I hope you can be cooperative and not mess up.”

Emperor Baili acknowledged Qingyi's abilities. Although he did not like it, but the help provided, as well as his quick analysis was a fortune. His uncle will only deliver the results of his investigation tomorrow, but his queen actually came earlier than him. Good, at least Emperor Baili can find out more quickly the truth behind the incident that made his mother fall ill.

“Good. I'll work with you.”

In his heart, Qingyi clapped happily. Well, he could execute Zhao Ping’er without worrying that Emperor Baili would get in his way.

General Zhao is a great general of the country, although many do not like him, his services remain great. Emperor Baili couldn't possibly make him lose face. But on the grounds of his daughter, Emperor Baili would inevitably have to give Qingyi a chance.

“Seal!”

Qingyi then was about to leave the study room. Before that, he suddenly turned around. “Ah, I forgot. Wang Yiyuan gave me a lot of help during the rescue of Baili Wuyuan and the destruction of the headquarters of Litao Pavilion.”

Emperor Baili was suspicious. This woman, dear to heart, asks for heart! He explained directly that Emperor Baili may have to change the punishment given to Wang Yiyuan, because the woman had helped rescue mission Baili Wuyuan unwittingly.

Emperor Baili hated the change of decree, but he also could not possibly not return the favor. He held his pulsating head, then said in a stifled voice, “I'll set it.”

The woman really left. Emperor Baili stared at him until he disappeared. A moment later he frowned when he realized the woman's walking way was a little strange and unusual. Emperor Baili clucked. “What has uncle done to his little devil?”

“Cui Kong!” call Baili Qingchen. Cui Kong jumped into the study room. “Ya, Your Majesty?”

“Where is Princess Empress?”

“The Queen is not in her residence. The waiter said he jumped quietly through the wall in strange clothes.”

If Baili Qingchen hadn't written the report tonight, she probably wouldn't have had the time to think. Her Empress Princess' strange behavior leads her to a conclusion: the woman did it on purpose! Qingyi deliberately said she wanted a divorce to distract her.

At that moment, the complicated-minded person used the opportunity to investigate something he should not have investigated. Her empress used the distance created by the quarrel to dig up more information. He must have realized that the incident of Empress Dowager Ming's fall was not simple.

Moreover, with those sharp eyes, her empress could definitely see that Zhao Ping’er was not as innocent as it seemed. And that brothel, he bought it not for mere pleasure! Her empress used that place as a source of information!

Oh, shite! It seemed like Baili Qingchen was a step too late from him.

Now he guessed that Qingyi had met Emperor Baili to tell the truth about the incident and ultimately wanted a deal. Her magical empress, besides being crazy and incredible, turned out to be very quick to respond!

Baili Qingchen finally understood the intent of this series of misunderstandings. The woman planned it intentionally. Baili Qingchen was massaging her temple, her head becoming sore after knowing all her magical wife's deeds. His premonition said that his empress would act on the day that General Zhao returned, and that could not be wrong.

“That little devil, what else will he do this time?”

***

A few days later, the palace held a small banquet to welcome the return of General Zhao and his family. The Old General's entourage arrived at the gate during the day. Behind the carriage, the troops under his control were lined up neatly.

Emperor Baili greeted him and led him towards the hall. Several important officials were required to attend and hold back their dislike.

At least this time, they have to work together. Emperor Baili had already said that this time, General Zhao had come to accept his decree of retirement and his resignation from the military.

Baili Qingchen and Qingyi were also present. The two sat side by side on the right spot, mingling together with some high-ranking officials. Qingyi did not like the banquet, but as today she was going to act, she happily came and pretended to be the dignified Princess Empress.

His eyes had not paid any attention to General Zhao. The general's age may be nearly a third of a century. His beard and hair were mostly bleached. There was a woman who was not too old sitting by his side, perhaps it was his youngest concubine aka Zhao Ping’er's birth mother.

The general's face implied that he had once become handsome when young. His jaw is quite firm. His body is still strong despite his old age.

Qingyi thought why such an old person still had such a young concubine. With his condition, he should not be too good about ‘itu’.

God, what was he thinking?

Zhao Ping’er, who was sitting on the left side of her father stared dislikefully at Qingyi. He wondered why a concubine could attend such an important and formal banquet. The girl was still angry at the woman's treatment the other day, which pushed her and slapped her twice.

Perhaps, King Changle did not like his Empress Princess, until he preferred to bring his concubine here. Zhao Ping’er was still trying to think positively, not wanting to dirty his brain with the various speculations.

It's okay, once he enters King Changle's mansion, he'll make the woman live to suffer as a form of his revenge!

Qingyi caught Zhao Ping’er's gurgle, then sneered silently.

The beginning of the banquet went well as in general. A little bit of pleasantry, then a drink and a toast, it goes like a regular banquet. Arriving in the middle, Qingyi began to calculate the time. Emperor Baili cast a gaze sign the show was about to begin and he gave a small nod to Qingyi.

Emperor Baili stood up from his throne. “General Zhao has devoted his life to maintaining the security of the western border city. On this day of his retirement, allow zhen toast him.”

General Zhao was flattered, then raised his glass and drank his wine up the toilet. Unexpectedly, Emperor Baili was even willing to to toast him. It has been a great gift throughout his life. The end of his twilight age turned out to be traversed with this noble welcome.

“Ah, a few days ago, Empress Dowager Ming fell into the pool. If not for Miss Zhao Ping’er's help, zhen really did not know what would have happened. Miss, do you have a wish you want to fulfill right now?”

Zhao Ping’er felt his chance had come. The cute girl stood up from her seat, then advanced to the center of the hall confidently.

Seeing that, Qingyi again grinned. Baili Qingchen took the time to glance at him, then shook her head and went back to enjoying her wine.

“Your Majesty, saving Her Majesty the Queen Mother is an obligation and a good thing to do. Ping’er happy because he is fine.”

“Nona, you have a noble mind. Tell me if you want anything. Zhen will definitely grant it to you.”

“Ping’er expect nothing. However, Ping’er had one wish that did not know whether it was worth telling or not,” Zhao Ping’er said timidly, occasionally stealing glances at Baili Qingchen.

“Oh? Speak!”

“Your Highness, Ping’er and Brother Chen had gone through childhood together. My admiration for Brother Chen persisted even though we had separated. If Your Majesty can give me permission to stay with him and re-embracing the beauty of those times, Ping’er will be very grateful.”

Everyone was shocked, except Baili Qingchen, Qingyi, and Emperor Baili.
