Chapter 1340: Personal Guards
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After all, Empress Dowager Minde was Fu Ying’s mother and Fu Ying’s only relative. If he were to grasp Empress Dowager Minde’s life, Fu Ying would be willing to give up the throne and Beicheng to ensure her mother’s safety.
That should be it.
Even if they hadn’t asked Wufu, at this moment, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were certain that in their previous life, the turning point and the matter of Fu Ying abdication was that Empress Dowager Minde went out of the palace to pray and fell into Fu Xu’s trap.
After the Cloud Guard left, Jiang Yue sat back down at the table. She continued to eat her oranges while calmly a.n.a.lyzing, “Since Fu Ying is fighting with Fu Xu, he shouldn’t have given his weakness to Fu Xu. It seems that this matter of going to the temple to pray for blessings shouldn’t be Fu Ying’s original intention. It’s very likely that her mother is stubborn and insists on going no matter what.”
Xue Yan nodded. “In my previous life, I did hear a little about Empress Dowager Minde. It was said that she believed in ghosts and G.o.ds, but the former Emperor Beicheng never believed in these things. Therefore, when the former Emperor Beicheng died, she felt like she had been provoked, saying that the former Emperor Beicheng did not believe in G.o.ds, and never worshiped them, that was why he died so early. At that time, many people were present, but they could not hide their disdain. It even became a joke and spread to all the countries.”
“That’s right,” Jiang Yue said. “Now that the former Emperor Beicheng is gone, no one can control her. As long as she forces Fu Ying to make her do what she wants, Fu Ying will naturally agree to her leaving the palace to pray.”
“Yes.” Xue Yan also felt this way.
“If this matter is different from the previous life, then we have to get Fu Ying to send more people to protect Empress Dowager Minde after she leaves the palace. However, it doesn’t feel safe. In case an accident happens, it seems…” Jiang Yue turned around and looked at him. “We have to personally keep an eye on her safety.”
It meant that she would secretly follow them when the time came.
“Yes.” Xue Yan had no objections.
Coincidentally, Jiang Yue had peeled another orange and handed it to him casually.
Xue Yan hurriedly wiped his hands before taking it. The oranges were sweet to begin with, and this was given by Jiang Yue, so he found it even sweeter. His eyes turned to look away from Jiang Yue in embarra.s.sment.
Jiang Yue just took another orange from the fruit plate on the table and started peeling it.
Suddenly, there was the sound of something jumping on the floor outside. The sound was quite loud. Then, it was Wufu’s excited knocking on the door. “Jiang Yue! Xue Yan! It’s me, Wufu!”
Without waiting for them to open the door, Wufu knocked on the door and realized that the door was not locked from the inside. He immediately pushed it open with both hands and jumped in as if he wanted to surprise them.
“Tada!”
Then, he noticed the oranges in their hands and on the table. Wufu’s eyes immediately lit up.
After so many years, there were always many new things to eat at home regardless of the season.
Wufu rushed over and grabbed some oranges from the table. He stuffed a few into the hands of the two guards behind him as if he were coaxing a child. Then, he began to push the two guards out. “You guys wait outside. Wait outside. I won’t run away.”
Before the two guards left the palace, they had been secretly instructed to give Xue Wuhu ample freedom. Therefore, Xue Wuhu told them to wait at the door, and they really turned around and walked out, guarding the door.
However, the few oranges in their hands made them a little stunned.
Where did these oranges come from? They looked so sweet!
