The Love Imagination System

Section 142: Persuading the Emperor

Qingyi gave a rude snort as the letter from Consort Jia reached her hand. The eucalyptus-flavored letter was then torn into four pieces and thrown away. The servant behind him hurriedly took out a piece of paper and hid it, then left out of fear.

“That damn woman bothers me so much!”

Yinghao who was eating a young bamboo stick on the table stopped his bite, stood up and pulled Qingyi's sleeve. “Isn't that easy? You can stop her pregnancy if you want.”

Qingyi could have done that, yet she did not want to involve an innocent person. Although Liu Erniang was very annoying and he hated her, the baby she contained knew nothing. The baby was just being unlucky because it had to grow in the womb of a thousand women face is very annoying.

“I'm not an immoral person. Killing a small, undeveloped baby is not my style.”

Yinghao scoffed. Not an immoral person? Does this master forget that all his actions have been in conflict with morals?

Qingyi scowled and her mood got bad. Just because Liu Erniang made her pregnancy known to everyone, she became so arrogant and felt powerful? The brash pheasant still did not seem to understand the situation.

Emperor Baili was also very impatient. Knowing there was a concubine who could give him offspring, he immediately promised the empress position for her without seeing her ability. The empress of a country is not just for the emperor's family, but for the whole people. How could he give such an important position to a person like Liu Erniang?

Emperor Baili may have been blinded by Liu Erniang's beauty.

“Then what about the help referred to Consort Jia?” ask Yinghao. He wanted to know what plan his master would make for that one concubine.

“Although her position is threatened, but it is not the right time to reveal her pregnancy,” Qingyi replied.

No matter what words Liu Erniang said to Consort Jia to the point of making her send a letter and rush to ask for help, Qingyi always felt that the time had not yet come. It is not yet time to announce Consort Jia's current pregnancy. It would harm both of them, especially Liu Erniang was also pregnant and Emperor Baili had promised the empress position for her.

Two pregnant concubines in the harem, it was the same as two warring enemies. Qingyi stared deeply at the peach trees blooming in her garden. The pink color of the flowers is like a shade that likes to accompany him as he relaxes. Qingyi has always been unable to calm down since she came here.

“Then, it's up to you. Sir, you just have to remember that the system can't keep giving you extra time.”

Qingyi threw Yinghao to the ground and snatched his young bamboo rod. The panda really doesn't know the situation! Qingyi was being annoyed, Yinghao instead made her even more annoyed by the system's warning. Whose fault? Hasn't it been the system that kept him stuck here?

“If you continue to talk nonsense, you better water my medicinal fields in the dimensional space!”

Qingyi then passed away the western courtyard and her steps were slightly stomping. He thought it was time to meet someone who could give him other information and a way to prevent Emperor Baili from giving Liu Erniang the position of empress.

***

After Emperor Baili informed everyone that he would crown Liu Erniang as Empress Bingyue, the court became serious about the market. The ministers disagreed with Emperor Baili's decision, because they did not think that was the important thing to do at this time.

The main perpetrator of the incident at the peak spring festival had yet to be found, and the chief assassin of the Litao Pavilion had also not been recaptured. Emperor Baili should have prioritized resolving chaos, not appointing an empress when it was not needed.

Seeing his ministers noisily, Emperor Baili became enraged. He kicked down the table and hall in silence. The dark shadow in Emperor Baili's eyes implied that he was extremely displeased. “Do you doubt my decision?”

The ministers, despite their disagreement and displeasure, did not dare to speak directly. Those people could only look at each other, then drop a final look at King Changle who remained standing quietly in front of them.

The man's forehead is occasionally wrinkled. No one can dive into the depths of his eyes that are as clear as water when calm and as red as fire when angry. No one understands what he is thinking right now. It was just that he looked a bit strange, as he did not oppose or approve.

“Uncle, do you also doubt my decision?” ask Emperor Baili.

Baili Qingchen instantly looked up and her eyes met the eyes of Emperor Baili. Baili Qingchen took a breath for a moment, gathering all the words she was about to convey to her nephew. In the presence of all the ministers, he took two steps forward, bowing until the crown of his king trembled along with the movement of his head.

All the ministers held their breath. Now they were just worried about the words that King Changle would say later. Where is the king who usually resists firmly and boldly? They felt that King Changle seemed to be about to approve of his nephew.

“Do I look like I'm joking?”

Baili Qingchen again sighed. All right, this is not how to deal with this distrustful niece of his. After all, his nephew was the emperor of this country, he could not humiliate him anymore in the presence of his ministers.

“Then I have nothing to say. Her Majesty can elevate her to Empress Bingyue, but after Her Majesty listens to my words first.”

Baili Qingchen glanced at the ministers, her gesture of being captured by Emperor Baili. Emperor Baili immediately felt that what his uncle was about to say was a very secret thing. He then told all his ministers to get out of the hall and stay five hundred meters away from the palace terrace.

“Now, say what you want to say, Uncle!” emperor Baili's decree after all the ministers came out and only he and Baili Qingchen remained in the court. “If you want to talk about the ugliness of Consort Xian, then it is useless. I know if humans sometimes have bad traits that are not small.”

“I don't want to talk about concubine Xian's vices. Your Majesty, what I want to report is this, and I want to know what decision you will take after you read it.”

Baili Qingchen gave a secret report that he kept from his sleeve to Emperor Baili. As Emperor Baili read it, his eyes widened and he kicked his desk one more time. Now, the stifled anger became even greater.

“So, Consort Xian released the assassin head of Litao Pavilion?” hiss Emperor Baili. His head suddenly ached at the thought of the woman who usually acts calm to him turned out to be the one who had made it difficult for him to uncover the real culprit!

“Gao Lian is a distant relative of Gao Hui. Consort Xian used it to free the assassin head of Litao Pavilion after threatening him,” Baili Qingchen said.

Emperor Baili squeezed the report with his sturdy hands. His eyes closed withstanding emotions. Goddamnit! He thought Liu Erniang was truly obedient to be his concubine. Who would have thought that he had instead engaged himself in court affairs and messed up the Imperial High Court!

Emperor Baili never thought that one of his concubines was so insolent. He also did not expect that his concubine had any relationship with the Litao Pavilion. Now, Emperor Baili actually felt that Consort Xian was not as simple as he seemed. Although good at making a look, but what is behind it is much more terrible.

“Then, what should I do? I can't possibly take back my word and renege on my promise.”

“Your Majesty need not deny it. You just need to postpone it.”

“Pending?”

“Your Majesty, you just need to delay his coronation. You can look for other reasons that can prove that he does not have the qualifications to occupy the position, even though the baby he was born with is a boy. Your Majesty, you must not forget that you already have a prince as your eldest son.”

At this time, Emperor Baili was bearded with his uncle's words. Emperor Baili only realized that his hasty decision turned out to have another impact.

Now she realized that making Liu Erniang empress was the same as calling Liu Wang back to the imperial city.

With the old man's cunning, he would definitely re-enter the court because of his daughter. Emperor Baili did not want the hard-earned man he put away again. In any case, he hated Liu Wang, and he would not let the old man back.

The eyes of Emperor Baili began to soften.

“I may be in too much of a hurry. Uncle, can you arrange it for me?”

Baili Qingchen nodded and a small smile appeared. His nephew didn't really have a hard heart. As long as there was something that could make him doubt, then the decision he had taken would be reconsidered. This is his nature since childhood. If he was able to persuade her, then Emperor Baili would not be impossible to obey.

“I admire the wisdom of His Majesty,” said Baili Qingchen. Emperor Baili tried to calm himself. “Good. Uncle, you can go. Oh, tell the ministers to talk a lot to go home. I have no interest in continuing the meeting anymore!”
