Chapter 213: Cooperation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the capital of Great Chu, Wu Yuehan came to the princess’ residence.
She muttered to herself, “There won’t be any problems this time. There won’t be any mistakes my fertile period this time!”
She went forward and knocked on the door.
When the Eldest Princess knew that she had come, she was still rather happy.
She hurriedly went out to welcome them.
“Junior Sister Yuehua, long time no see!”
Wu Yuehua and her had become disciples at almost the same time. Because she was a few years older than her, although her cultivation level was not as high as Wu Yuehua’s, there was nothing wrong with calling her junior sister.
Wu Yuehan smiled and said, “Not really. Didn’t you just see her when you went to the sect the last time?” As she spoke, she said in surprise, “Eh? Senior Sister Xiang, I haven’t seen you in a while. Why has your skin become so tender? It’s not much inferior to a young girl’s.”
Xiang Feiyan smiled and said, “It’s just that I managed to maintain it well. I wonder why Junior Sister is here?”
Wu Yue said, “I’m not here to look for Junior Brother Su. I’ll stay here for seven to eight days before going back.”
“Eh?”
Xiang Feiyan suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to arrange a room for Junior Sister.”
“There’s no need. I’ll go and tell Junior Brother Su. I’ll just share a room with him!” Wu Yuehan did not intend to hide it from Xiang Feiyan. He smiled and said, “To be honest, my relationship with Junior Brother Su is not ordinary.”
“Hehe… hehe…”
Xiang Feiyan sneered in her heart. She would not say that she was jealous. She was also very clear that Su Wen had a daughter and a wife. However, if she still wanted to stay with Su Wen when she came knocking at her residence, wouldn’t that be trying to snatch food from the mouth of a tiger?
“I don’t think this is very convenient… Junior Sister, leave first. Daqiang isn’t in the residence. When he comes back, I’ll get him to look for you…” Xiang Feiyan was already planning to chase her away.
But at this moment, Su Wen walked out from the inner residence.
He smiled and said, “Senior Sister Wu, why are you here?”
Wu Yue smiled and said, “Isn’t this because Junior Brother had a few ultimate techniques that I didn’t manage to comprehend the essence of last time? This time, I came to look for you to comprehend them properly for a few days.”
She thought that only Su Wen would know what she meant.
However, how would she know that Su Wen had been practicing this ‘ultimate art’ with Xiang Feiyan the past two days!
However, Xiang Feiyan could not say it directly. She only stared fiercely at Su Wen and gritted her teeth. “Mister Su, it seems like your ultimate technique is indeed infinitely powerful!”
Su Wen smiled. “It’s just so-so. There’s still room for improvement!”
“You…”
Xiang Feiyan did not say anything else. Instead, she said, “This Junior Sister Wu wants to share a room with you. Do you think it’s appropriate?”
Su Wen smiled. “I guess that’s fine…”
These words infuriated Xiang Feiyan to no end.
Could this kid not tell what she was implying?
Of course, Su Wen could tell that something was wrong. Even Wu Yuehan could tell that something was wrong at this point, it was just that Su Wen was not someone who liked spoiling his women…
Su Wen just took the initiative to lead Wu Yuehan into the residence. The two of them went into his room.
Wu Yuehan did not stand on ceremony, directly sitting straight on the bed and stretched her back before lying down. She spoke lazily, “You captured Senior Sister Xiang?”
“You can tell?” Su Wen smiled.
Wu Yuehan smiled slyly and said, “I didn’t understand at first, but after that, even a fool will know. My coming here won’t spoil your efforts, right?”
Su Wen: “Then I’ll leave to avoid anything from going wrong?”
Wu Yuehan’s body moved rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she had already soared up from the bed and grabbed Su Wen before sticking close to him.
“Hmph! I’ve already offended the person, so where do you think you are you going! Watch my move!”
Wu Yuehan did not stay for too many days. She just stayed for about a week to ensure that she had achieved her goal this time.
She left soon after.
In the past few days, Wu Yuehan was only sparring with Su Wen at the beginning. However, after a few days, Xiang Feiyan got really itchy and could not wait to spar against him as well.
She could not help but join the battle as well.
Meanwhile, the fighting in the royal court also intensified.
The princes started to dig at each other, and each of them found quite a lot of evidence that the other party was guilty of corruption.
However, the problem was that they were still unable to defeat each other.
Every time they saw that their momentum was not good, they tended to abandon the chariot in order to protect the commander to cut losses.
However, it was precisely this type of situation that the Crown Prince hoped to see the most.
Every day he spent peacefully would give him a greater advantage.
On the other side, Xiang Feiyan had been conferred an official title!
The Royal Censorate! Position of a Senior Censor!
Her official rank was not high, just at 3rd Grade.
However, this meant that she had finally entered the royal court! She had extended her hand towards the power center of Great Chu.
One had to know that although Xiang Feiyan had befriended some officials before, she did not have much authority.
Neither did she have much influence on the court either.
On the contrary, the other princes had already entered the court as officials a long time ago.
And this time, Emperor Chu suddenly let her enter the court…. This signal was worth thinking about for everyone.
In the Prime Minister’s residence, Prime Minister Zhang Yong had a solemn expression.
He said in a deep voice, “His Majesty has allowed the Eldest Princess to become an official in the royal court. Obviously, His Majesty has now included her in the list of candidates for the successor. This also means that His Majesty recently doesn’t agree with the Crown Prince’s performance.”
In front of him was Zhang Yong’s son, Zhang Shunzhi.
He frowned and said, “Father, then what should we do? Aren’t we going to make a choice?”
Zhang Yong sighed, “How can a choice be so easy to make? The emperor’s heart is as deep as an abyss. No one can guarantee that the choice of the throne will not be made until the last moment. If we stand on any side now, once there are any changes, we will instead place ourselves in an unfavorable position.
Furthermore, His Majesty isn’t dead yet, do you really think he can’t kill anyone? If he wants our lives, it can be decided with only a word! Right now, it’s better to deal with the changes by remaining unchanged. Let’s see!”
Meanwhile in the Crown Prince’s residence…
The Crown Prince’s expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, “Royal Father wants Xiang Feiyan to manage the Royal Censorate! What does this mean? Is he muddle-headed? Does he really want a woman to inherit my Great Chu’s throne?”
The advisor sighed and said, “Your Highness, fighting with those few people during this period of time is equivalent to killing a thousand enemies but sacrificing eight hundred men. In my opinion, Your Highness should take a step back. It’s just nice that you can take advantage of the limelight Xiang Feiyan generates upon her entry to the court. Your Highness should conceal your strength and bide your time. As long as you protect yourself and don’t make a huge mistake, then it’s fine!”
The Crown Prince gritted his teeth and said, “Do I just let those bastards attack and destroy me?”
The advisor sighed. “Your Highness, the court is in chaos right now. His Majesty is in a state of semi-indulgence. If some unnecessary factions from your side are gone, so be it. As long as you don’t get involved anymore and no one has any evidence against you, His Majesty won’t have any excuse to cripple you.
The more you do, the more wrongdoings will be uncovered, so endure your anger for a while. When Your Highness ascends to the throne and becomes a Heaven Rank cultivator, won’t it be a matter of words to deal with these people?”
Finally, the Crown Prince sighed and said, “Then so be it! You can decide what to do!”
On the other side, in the Third Prince’s residence, Third Brother had his eyes closed as he listened to the female attendants perform.
He appeared quite relaxed.
“Not bad. Royal Father letting Big Sister enter the court means that his dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince has risen to a new level. No matter what, pulling the Crown Prince down is the main matter… Big Sister… as long as she doesn’t provoke me, I naturally won’t care about her…”
The Third Prince calculated silently.
He had always been good at scheming and would not make a mistake by deviating from his goals!
So long as the Crown Prince was not crippled, once something unexpected happened, he would have the right to inherit the throne. He would thus always be a threat to everyone.
Meanwhile, in the Eldest Princess’s residence, Su Wen was sitting beside her and guiding her.
“That’s not right. The stitches are too ugly.”
“You’re so stupid. Where are your eyes? Eyes!”
“Haha! I’m dying of laughter.”
The Eldest Princess finally couldn’t take it anymore and put down the needle and thread in her hand. She looked at Su Wen and said angrily, “Why don’t you come over and try or shut up!”
Su Wen smiled. “You’re too anxious, and you still want to try embroidering?”
“Hmph! Who cares! But tell me, if we make a move on House Wei first, will Royal Father be unhappy?” Xiang Feiyan pulled back the topic.
Su Wen said coldly, “Don’t worry, your father will only be truly at ease if you kill the Wei family. It can even be said that in this situation, your father might not want you to fight with the Crown Prince, but he will definitely want to see you destroy the Wei family even more!”
“If you ascend to the throne, Xiang Sheng will be your only successor in the future. House Wei takes up half of Xiang Sheng’s bloodline. Whether he changes his surname or not, this is a reality! House Wei will become a behemoth and become the largest external relative of Great Chu! This is absolutely not what your royal father wants to see. Especially since Xiang Sheng’s surname used to be Wei.”
Su Wen smiled and said, “So, the most important thing is to eliminate any future troubles. As long as you get some false evidence and hand it over, your father will settle everything. Moreover, I believe that Wei Song is not a fool…”
“Alright!” Xiang Feiyan replied with a smile.
The next day, Xiang Feiyan represented the Royal Censor and issued a memorial. The memorial could be said to be groundless, and a lot of crimes were dug up. The person who was impeached was Wei Song…
In the beginning, everyone disapproved of Xiang Feiyan’s memorial. They even felt that she was crazy. If she were to randomly play around in the court like this, she would definitely be reprimanded!
Unexpectedly…
After this memorial was sent to Emperor Chu’s office, the review underwent a strict vetting.
One had to admire Wei Song’s ability to operate. After a round of investigation, the official cleared Wei Song of all charges.
The official in charge of investigation reported to Emperor Chu that Wei Song was innocent.
In the end, Emperor Chu was furious and directly issued a decree, removing that official from his position and sending him to jail.
Then, he sent someone else to investigate!
This time, no one dared to disobey.
In the end, Wei Song’s bottom was not clean to begin with. Or rather, in this era, those who were truly as honest as water could not get into his position.
The Wei Clan fell as a result!
Wei Song would never have thought that a groundless memorial would take the lives of his entire family.
In Su Wen’s room, he and Xiang Feiyan were pondering how to deal with the Crown Prince.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door…
“Mother! Are you there?”
“Is something the matter?”
“I have something to tell you.”
Xiang Feiyan pulled up the blanket and said directly, “Come in.”
Xiang Sheng came in and looked down at the ground. He whispered, “I want to go see Grandfather!”
The next day was the day House Wei would be executed.
Although he was not close to Wei Song, he knew very well that after he went to find Wei Song last time, although Wei Song chased him away, he still went to the Crown Prince to try to help him.
But what made Xiang Sheng uncomfortable was that his mother had impeached Wei Song as a result.
This led to the extermination of the Wei Family!
“No!” Xiang Feiyan rejected without thinking.
At this moment, Su Wen spoke with a smile, “I think this matter should be done as such!”
“Ah?” Xiang Feiyan could not believe it.
However, since Su Wen said so, she thought for a moment and said, “Then go!”
Joy flashed across Xiang Sheng’s eyes as he turned to leave.
After he left, Xiang Feiyan asked in confusion, “Why do you want him to see Wei Song?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “When a person is about to die, his words will be kind. When a bird is about to die, its cry will also be sorrowful. Don’t worry, it will be good for you if Xiang Sheng meets him. If you don’t let him go, he will instead have a nail in his heart.”
In the gloomy cell…
Wei Song was imprisoned alone.
He had just finished washing up. He knew that he was going to die tomorrow.
His entire family would die.
His hair was combed very cleanly. This might be his final act of decency.
Suddenly, the cell door opened.
Xiang Sheng walked in with a lunch box.
“Grandfather…”
Xiang Sheng called out softly.
When Wei Song saw him, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
This was perhaps the last bloodline of House Wei.
Xiang Sheng walked to the cell and opened the food box. Inside were some dishes and wine.
This was the only thing he could do.
“I’m sorry. If I hadn’t gone to you, maybe Mother wouldn’t have impeached you…”
Xiang Sheng was full of self-reproach. In his opinion, perhaps it was because Wei Song had encouraged the Crown Prince that Xiang Feiyan had taken revenge and impeached him.
Wei Song shook his head and reached out to touch Xiang Sheng’s head. He smiled and said, “Don’t blame your mother… House Wei’s death is good, and it’s worth it. As long as you’re still alive, everything is worth it! Your mother wants to fight for the throne and eliminate House Wei. That is probably in line with His Majesty’s wishes. This should be the first test His Majesty gave your mother. If she doesn’t do it, she will lose points in His Majesty’s heart… Now, she has done well…”
Xiang Sheng looked at Wei Song and widened his eyes in disbelief. “You don’t blame my mother?”
Wei Song shook his head and said, “There’s nothing to blame her for. Since ancient times, the path of seizing the throne has always been one of unscrupulous means. If she wasn’t so ruthless, how would your mother have the chance to sit on the throne? Besides, my Wei family doesn’t get along with your mother to begin with. If His Majesty also wants my Wei family to die, then my Wei family can just die! Unfortunately, I won’t see the day you sit on the throne.”
He gently stroked Xiang Sheng’s face and instructed, “That Su Daqiang is the person who gave your mother advice, right? This person is definitely not an ordinary person. If you ascend the throne and if he is still alive, you will either put him in an important position and trust him totally or eliminate him immediately. Once you make a move, you must be fully prepared and use all your strength to give him a thunderous blow! But as long as your mother is in power, you cannot show any hostility towards him! Remember this!”
Xiang Sheng nodded and agreed.
Suddenly, Wei Song thought of a question. He asked, “Who asked you to come tonight?”
“It’s Master Su…” Xiang Sheng whispered.
Wei Song closed his eyes and said after a while, “You can’t make an enemy of this person! No matter what, don’t make an enemy of him. Even if you’re used by him, this person can see through the hearts of others. He’s definitely not someone that ordinary people can compare to. But the good thing is that you’re younger than him. If you can ascend to the throne, with the protection of Great Chu’s ancestor, it will be safer to drag him down then.”
At this point, Wei Song said in a gratified tone, “It’s your mother’s luck to be able to meet this person. It’s also your luck. I originally thought that your mother would not have any chance of success in the competition for the throne.”
“But ever since this person entered the capital, your mother’s actions have become more profound. These past few days, I’ve been thinking that once you become the Emperor of Great Chu, my Wei family’s bloodline will be able to extend along with the Great Chu. What a fortunate thing this is! You must not hate your mother. Child, just remember that you have my Wei family’s bloodline in your body! Watch how your master conducts himself. These things will be very beneficial to you in the future!”
“Yes! I understand…”
Xiang Sheng stayed for a while before leaving.
After he left, a person emerged from the shadows.
This person’s face was covered by a cloak.
He squatted in front of Wei Song’s cell door.
This was the first time Wei Song had seen this person. He only felt that this person’s eyes were extremely lively.
Furthermore, there was a faint smile on his face.
“Be quiet, don’t let anyone hear you,” Su Wen whispered.
That’s right, the person who came was Su Wen.
Wei Song was not afraid. He just smiled and said, “Who are you? There’s no need to kill me. I’ll be executed tomorrow.”
Su Wen smiled and said, “I know, you should know me. My name is Su Daqiang. Thank you for your evaluation of me just now. You also saved that brat Xiang Sheng.”
Wei Song’s eyes widened.
Su Wen smiled and said, “I think there’s a possibility that we can cooperate to a certain extent. Don’t you think so?”
Su Wen left…
About an hour later, Wei Song shouted loudly!
“I want to report! I want to expose something! I have something important! I want to see His Majesty!”
He started to bang his head against the door crazily!
How could the prison guards dare to be careless? They immediately rushed over to stop him. At the same time… they reported to the higher-ups!
That very same night!
The imperial guards arrived at the Crown Prince’s residence!
Bang!
The door to the Crown Prince’s residence was forcefully kicked open.
“Your Highness! Your Highness! Bad news! The Royal Guards are here! As well as a Heaven Rank expert!”
The sleeping Crown Prince suddenly sat up!
“How is this possible? What happened? Did the old man die?”
At the thought of this, he stood up and rushed out of the room without even putting on his clothes!
“Your Highness, where are you going…” The beautiful concubine stood up and asked, but the Crown Prince ignored her.
Just as he left the door, the concubine’s body suddenly went limp and she fell asleep again. A black shadow descended from the roof and stuffed something under the Crown Prince’s pillow.
Immediately after, he reached out and touched the concubine’s body a few times…
She’s well endowed! Su Wen smiled and opened his teleportation portal. Just as he stepped in, a wave of Qi just happened to unlock the acupoints in the concubine’s body. As the concubine woke up in an extremely short period of time, it was as if she had only been stunned for a moment!
The Crown Prince went out and saw a stern-looking old man entering the courtyard with a large number of Royal Guards behind him!
He hurried forward and said, “Mister Zhuo! Why are you here? Did something happen?”
This Mister Zhuo was one of the Great Chu’s Heaven Rank experts, and Emperor Chu trusted him greatly.
He really wanted to hear the answer he wanted in his heart.
Mister Zhuo said coldly, “His Majesty has ordered us to search the Crown Prince’s room! I wonder if it’s convenient for Your Highness?”
“This… my concubine is still within.”
“Hmph! Is the Royal Fate not comparable to a concubine?” Mister Zhuo remarked coldly in return.
The Crown Prince had a bad feeling about this, but he knew that since Emperor Chu had sent a Heaven Rank expert here, there must be something important that he should not resist.
“Sir, please!”
Mister Zhuo entered the room and went straight to the bed.
He suddenly lifted the pillow!
Everyone saw that under the pillow was an old man in a dragon robe. His brows were actually somewhat similar to Emperor Chu!
However, there were small swords embedded in every part of the tiny person’s body!
That’s right, Su Wen had planned to gift him with a calamity of being accused of witchcraft. He did not believe that Emperor Chu could tolerate this!
