Chapter 1118: The Bizarre Brother Jiu
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Jiuchao had never interfered with the lives of the princes and princesses in the harem. Xiaobao had seen the Ninth Princess, and Xiaobao had told Prince Yan. Actually, it was not convenient for Prince Yan to deal with the Emperor’s family matters. However, Xiaobao had already mentioned this to him. What could he do? In the future, when Xiaobao asked, ‘By the way, Grandpa, how was that princess sister? Were there any bad people bullying her?’
How would Prince Yan answer?
‘I’m sorry, Grandpa doesn’t know?’
It was actually not wrong for an ordinary grandfather to answer like this, but was Prince Yan an ordinary grandfather? He was a grandfather who doted on his grandchildren!
There were no small matters in front of his good grandson!
Since Xiaobao said it, he definitely felt that something was wrong. If his grandson thought so, then Prince Yan also thought so! And since Prince Yan thought that it was wrong, Yan Jiuchao could not ignore it. After all, he doted on Prince Yan.
After returning to her room, Yu Wan discussed the Ninth Princess with Yan Jiuchao.
When the Ninth Princess was in the Prince Hall, her life was not satisfactory.
But the servants had only neglected her at that time. They did not dare to bully ner. wnen tne Empress nrst Drougnt ner DaCK to tne rengsnal palace, everyone thought that the Ninth Princess had soared through the ranks, but they did not know that she had fallen into another abyss.
Why was this child so ill-fated?
Perhaps it was because her sons had been bullied when they were young, but when Yu Wan heard of such things, she would always have an uncontrollable anger in her heart. This anger was even different from the Empress’s plan to trick her into saying something to Yan Jiuchao. In that court battle, the Empress was targeting two completely adult people. For the Empress to do such a heartless thing to a weak child, it could be seen that her heart was black.
Although it wasn’t the Empress who personally bullied the Ninth Princess, as the head of a palace, didn’t the Empress know what kind of bad disaster her att.i.tude towards the Ninth Princess would bring? Even Yu Wan realized that the Ninth Princess had become dazed. As her mother, how could she really not notice it at all?
That was impossible.
But she chose to ignore it. She vented all her anger at Princess Consort Qing for not being able to give birth to a son on this child who could not fight back. It was obvious that she was timid and only dared to target weak targets.
This was also verified on Yu Wan’s matter. She knew that the person who really dealt with Lord Ma was Yan Jiuchao, but she did not dare to threaten Yan Jiuchao and only dared to use both soft and hard methods on Yu Wan.
However, what the Empress did not expect was that Yu Wan was not a pushover.
“What do you plan to do?” Yu Wan sat at the head of the bed and asked Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao was ma.s.saging her slightly swollen calf, but she did not feel much herself. Compared to ordinary pregnant women, her symptoms were much lighter. However, Yan Jiuchao had sharp eyes. He could see the swelling clearly.
“I’m asking you a question,” Yu Wan said.
“When will it come out?” Yan Jiuchao said.
“Huh?” Yu Wan was stunned by these words. When will it come out? After a long pause, Yu Wan realized that Yan Jiuchao was talking about the baby. She was overjoyed. She lowered her head and asked shyly, “Do you feel sorry for
Yan Jiuchao hit the nail on the head. “I want to play with the child.”
Yu Wan:
As the two of them were talking, Shadow Thirteen knocked on the door. “Young Master, Young Madam, are you asleep?”
It was obvious that they were not asleep. The lights were still on. Otherwise, he would not have dared to disturb them so openly.
Yan Jiuchao stuffed Yu Wan’s chubby legs under the blanket and said to him,
“Come in.”
Shadow Thirteen walked in without looking sideways. He cupped his hands and said, “Young Master, Shadow Six and I went to the Crown Prince Manor just now and discovered something.”
“What’s the situation?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
Shadow Thirteen said seriously, “Eunuch Qin went to look for Yan Huaijing.”
“Eunuch Qin?” Yu Wan murmured thoughtfully. “Isn’t he with the Empress? Why did he look for Yan Huaijing?
Yan Jiuchao snorted coldly. “The Empress has designs on Yan Huaijing?
“Yes,” Shadow Thirteen said. “Shadow Six and I heard Eunuch Qin say with our own ears that the Empress wants to form an alliance with Yan Huaijing.”
Yu Wan was stunned. No way? They had just fallen out, and the Empress could not wait to rope Yan Huaijing in? Did she have to be so shameless?
Moreover, it was not their fault that they had fallen out this time. Who asked you not to restrain your cousin and let him make a huge mistake? After that, not only did you not punish him, but you also let him hold a high position. Was this what the Empress of a country should do?
The Emperor was paralyzed and could not take the provocation. There was
nothing he could do about politics. Otherwise, he would have had to chop off a.s.sistant Minister Ma!
Could it be that she also wanted to join forces with the Crown Prince to force the Emperor to abdicate?
Yu Wan could not understand what this woman was thinking. However, this also seemed to explain why she had been locked up in the Cold Palace for so many years. Not everyone was framed like Consort Yun. She deserved it. Poor people must have something hateful!
“What did Yan Huaijing say?” Yu Wan asked.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Shadow Thirteen’s face. “He didn’t agree.”
“Huh?” Yu Wan was shocked this time. Yan Huaijing actually rejected a fat piece of meat that had come knocking on his door? Although the Empress was not especially favored, she was still the proper master of the six palaces. The Emperor still liked her quite well now. The various factions under her had all rapidly developed in this year. It could be said that the Empress was a very good ally.
Yan Jiuchao had cut off the Empress’s cousin at the waist. This was the best time to rope in the Empress, but he was actually not tempted?
“This doesn’t look like something he would do…” Yu Wan muttered.
Yu Wan was not surprised that Yan Jiuchao did this, but Yan Huaijing…
“Shadow Six and I also think it’s very strange. At first, when we heard that Eunuch Qin wanted to rope him in, we all thought that he would agree. After all, the conditions offered by the Empress are very tempting. The Empress won’t fight for the throne for Prince Qing. As long as Yan Huaijing gives everything that originally belonged to Prince Yan Manor to Prince Qing after he ascends the throne.”
The Yan City Navy was famous throughout the world. Yan City’s fief was as rich as a country. If they gave it all to Prince Qing, wouldn’t that be a small fat piece of meat? The Empress really dared to think about it!
Yu Wan suddenly smiled. “How much does she hate us? Does she have to s.n.a.t.c.h all our things? But why didn’t Yan Huaijing agree? Could it be that he can’t bear to part with this fat piece of meat?”
It couldn’t be that Yan Huaijing couldn’t bear to touch Prince Yan Manor. If Yan Huaijing was so benevolent, he wouldn’t have sent someone to scheme against them halfway.
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “It’s not that he can’t bear to part with Prince Yan Manor, but he has stronger allies in his hands. He doesn’t need to form an alliance with the Empress.”
“What do you plan to do next?” Yu Wan asked Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao said, “Bring the Ninth Princess out first.”
Yu Wan gasped. No, why is the Ninth Princess involved again? Aren’t we talking about the Crown Prince Manor? Your thinking… is so jumpy?!
Actually, regardless of whether she had roped in Yan Huaijing or not, the Ma Family’s path had reached its end. If she wanted to save the Ninth Princess, bringing her out was a stalling tactic. Only when the Empress fell completely could she obtain true freedom.
The next day, Yan Jiuchao entered the palace. Of course, he went to court first. The ministers in the court were indeed much more obedient and worked even harder to praise him. After court, he first went to the Longevity Palace to visit the Emperor.
The Emperor could sometimes remain awake. Although he was still paralyzed in bed most of the time, he was still much better than his original state. However, the imperial physician instructed him not to provoke the Emperor with things he shouldn’t say in case he had a second stroke.
So he could not provoke him. This was simple!
Yan Jiuchao had already thought of what to say on the way here. He told the Emperor that yesterday, the children had entered the palace and hit it off with the Ninth Princess at first sight. He wanted to bring her to the Young Master Manor to stay for a few days, but before he could speak, the Emperor fell asleep.
Yan Jiuchao stood in front of the bed and stared at the Emperor without
blinking.
Eunuch w.a.n.g and the palace servants were frightened. You look very scary without a word. Don’t tell me you’ll forcefully shake His Majesty awake? It was no wonder that they were so worried. It was really because Yan Jiuchao had too much dark history. It was as if there was nothing ridiculous in the world that he could not do.
“Yes! Got it!” Yan Jiuchao suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned. What did he know?
“I’ll take good care of the Ninth Princess,” Yan Jiuchao said as he looked at the Emperor.
Everyone was stunned again. They looked at the Emperor, who was sleeping soundly, and then at the serious Yan Jiuchao. No one understood how this one-sided conversation developed.
As if sensing everyone’s doubts, Yan Jiuchao patiently said, “Uncle said that the Ninth Princess and my sons. .h.i.t it off and asked me to bring her out of the palace to stay for a few days.”
When did His Majesty say that? They didn’t hear him! Everyone looked at Yan Jiuchao in confusion.
Yan Jiuchao sighed bitterly. “To think that you guys couldn’t even hear his thoughts after taking care of my uncle for so many years. I’m too disappointed. ” Everyone. .
What the f*ck!
Was there anyone who made a fake imperial edict sound so bizarre?
