The Love Imagination System

Section 144: The Impatient

In the palace, the imperial physician had just given Liu Erniang a potion of boosters. Since her pregnancy was made public, all her needs were taken care of very well. Emperor Baili added a few more servants to serve him and appointed the head of the imperial physician as his obstetrician.

Because he was so pampered, his attitude grew even more arrogant. Liu Erniang now received only visits from wealthy and influential imperial concubines and relatives. The people who visited her licked her with precious gifts while hoping that Liu Erniang would not forget them when she became empress.

He felt how good the position was. Liu Erniang could control people with the power he had. Oppressing, dropping or controlling people will be his most interesting hobby later. She would occupy the position of number one woman in Bingyue, respected and feared.

Isn't that so much fun?

By the time that happens, the Liu family will have grasped back its glory. Liu Erniang would be able to call back his father and mother to the imperial city and control the court again.

His father and he could rule the court, because Emperor Baili was just a stupid pawn and understood nothing. Liu Erniang was deliberately kind enough to hide his motives, giving himself up to regain glory.

If it wasn't for his dearest fucking sister, his life wouldn't be like this either. Liu Erniang's dream was to become King Changle's consort, then live safely and be seen by people. But that desire turned into a deep hatred that required him to choose another path for his own life.

“What Your Majesty has set a date for coronation?” asked Liu Erniang to his servant.

His servant hesitated, looked up and replied slowly, “There has been no word from the palace of His Majesty the Emperor, Madam.”

The sly woman put down her glass, then took her breath. Emperor Baili was supposed to send Eunuch Li to immediately provide an appointment decree that would later be followed by his coronation in the hall.

It had been several days since he had promised it to her, but until now there had been no sign that Emperor Baili would certify it.

“Emperor is unlikely to renege on promises, right?” liu Erniang asked his servant back.

“Hamba listen, some ministers fuss about His Majesty's decision. That day, His Majesty had all the ministers come out of the hall and have a one-on-one talk with King Changle. After that, His Majesty the Emperor no longer brought up the matter of appointment,” replied the servant, recounting what he had heard from the eunuch sent to oversee the movements of Emperor Baili.

“Sial! Again King Changle!”

Liu Erniang kicked the table. His face was flushed again. “It seems that I have underestimated the Emperor!”

“So, should I have the ministers urge His Majesty the Emperor to hasten the coronation?”

Some ministers were indeed still Liu Wang's minions. Before retiring, the shameless old man placed many pawns for his daughter to use.

Ministers loyal to him can be moved easily. That way, Liu Erniang would have no trouble finding stepping stones and footrests.

“If in two days the Emperor has not yet lowered the decree, then just do it. Your Majesty, don't blame me if my attitude is like this,” his hiss like a snake. The waiter nodded, then retreated backwards.

Just a step away, inner Liu Erniang in heart. After becoming empress, all the women in the harem were under her control, including Consort Jia. Liu Erniang was already impatiently sending Consort Jia to the Cold Palace and depressed her to death.

It was a result of having taken it. Concubine Jia was so stupid for having chosen the wrong person. As great as anyone from King Changle's mansion, it was still not as big as the emperor's nuclear family. Although King Changle and Princess Empress Changle were intelligent, they would not survive much longer if they continued to be hostile towards him.

Meanwhile, in his palace, Consort Jia sat in agitation while looking at the reply letter from King Changle's mansion. Qingyi told her to remain silent and not to speak, yet Consort Jia could not really calm down. Liu Erniang had flown to a high place, if it was not stopped immediately, then it would be difficult to drop it again.

Concubine Jia had no idea what the two men's plans were. Qingyi did not tell her the details and told her to wait until the time came.

Concubine Jia was worried that Qingyi and Baili Qingchen were one step slower than Liu Erniang. Liu Erniang was so cunning, he was sure the woman had planned something else.

“Mrs, relax. Princess Empress and King Changle will not put you in danger,” Baoning tried to appease her master. Her employer is pregnant young, it is not good for her and her future baby if she continues to feel anxious.

“How can? I always worry about something unwanted happening. After all, we cannot allow Consort Xian to become empress.”

“Hamba heard that to this day, his appointment decree has not yet arrived. It was possible that King Changle had managed to persuade His Majesty the Emperor. That way, there is still time to find a way for Consort Xian not to become empress,” said Baoning.

As a waiter, he was very quick to respond. Since he had been in the palace longer, he had many brothers and friends here. Concubine Jia did not need to place a spy in another palace because her servant would deliver information by himself.

“Really? In that case, they must have succeeded in persuading His Majesty the Emperor.”

“I know. But it is also that greatness that harms and curbs them.”

Concubine Jia knew best what Emperor Baili was like when wary of someone. In the past, the reputation of King Changle was bad because Emperor Baili gave him permission to do such an unreasonable thing.

Allowing a man to be a companion, it felt too ridiculous. But since the arrival of a Princess Permasiri, the bad reputation has slowly found its place of glory again.

“Baoning, tell Princess Empress to stay careful. Concubine Xian was an impatient person. If he finds out His Majesty the Emperor is delaying his coronation, I'm afraid he'll mess up again,” Consort Jia told Baoning. Baoning nodded obediently, then left after a while.

“Master, what will you do next?”

In the dimensional space, Qingyi and Yinghao were busy doodling the glass table with red markers. Qingyi wrote the names of Emperor Baili, Liu Erniang, Baili Qingchen, Liu Wang, Baili Wuyuan and the southerners forming a chart with a straight line.

“See the mood only,” the answer.

Right now, he wanted to clarify everything. Qingyi had held Liu Erniang's ace, yet she was still not convinced. She thought the woman must have been helped by someone. Qingyi also tried to link all the events into a long and complicated series of schemes.

He finally came to his conclusion: these are all southerners!

The southerner who knew who the leader was had a long-standing grudge against Bingyue. They were looking for a way to infiltrate the imperial city and gather a lot of information.

Qingyi guessed that they could enter because of Liu Wang's help while still prime minister. The cunning old man was treasure-crazed and power-hungry, he seemed to have established deals with the southern people and received a lot of benefits.

Liu Wang must have thought that since he had helped them, they could submit. Liu Wang also knew that the southerners formed the Litao Pavilion as an organization of assassins and information gatherers, and he got tokens for free.

Later, his great reputation invited wild bees like Wang Yiyuan to be asked for protection in exchange for profits. Coincidentally, Wang Yiyuan also hired a southerner and he could get tokens into the Litao Pavilion and sell them at a great price.

That's why women can succeed. Qingyi also came to the conclusion that Liu Wang deliberately left some things in the imperial city to help her daughter. The cunning old man might leave his beloved daughter in the palace alone without a backrest.

“I suspect the person who has influenced Dowager Consort Sun is also them,” Qingyi murmured.

He remembered that Grand Dowager Consort Sun once said that the man was really dangerous. In that case, a grand scheme has indeed been prepared carefully since long ago.

The southerners did not expect Emperor Baili to have children and Bingyue to have no successors. Later, the appearance of Baili Wuyuan makes their plans change until they plan a spring peak festival incident and kidnap Baili Wuyuan.

But, they forgot one thing: Bingyue had a great king. Their calculations missed and made King Changle catch them easily.

They also must have never expected that a woman could be so intelligent and destroy their headquarters, leaving them languishing in prison and awaiting sentencing. Well, those southerners were too careless.

The leader of the southerners must have known his core men were caught and in danger, so he asked Liu Erniang for help to release him.

Incidentally, the high court minister was a relative of the Liu family. Despite being discovered, Liu Erniang could run away from trouble because everyone knew his relationship with the high court minister was not so close.

Qingyi kicked down the table and grinned.

“Gosh! Why am I so smart?”

Yinghao simply fell silent. Then, the little panda said quietly, “Master, I have something to say to you.”

Qingyi kept her interest in the table scheme, then looked at Yinghao curiously.

“Say!”

“Master..”
