Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 442 - Ying Lili Is Strength Of Sheng Li

Chapter 442 - Ying Lili Is Strength Of Sheng Li

The Emperor and the Empress were having a conversation as they had their tea. "Your Majesty, could you please not take your order back? I want to see my son," Deng Hui asked and requested at the same time.
"Empress Hui, it is not possible. Nianzu wanted this. I granted his request. I thought after Weng Wei would be punished, he would feel happy here. But this Palace life never provided that happiness," Han Wenji explained to Deng Hui.
"Your Majesty, then will he never return? I am his mother. How am I supposed to live without my son? Please, bring him home. I beg you, your majesty." Deng Hui pleaded with the Emperor. However, he did not agree with her. .
"I already passed an order. I cannot take it back. Nianzu wanted to marry a commoner, and I think he would have even married her. If our son gets his happiness by living that way, then we shall let him live like that," Han Wenji affirmed. Deng Hui peered at the Emperor with skepticism.
"May I ask his Majesty something?" Deng Hui queried.
Han Wenji nodded his head, granting permission to Deng Hui.
"Did his Majesty send my son away because he was a potential candidate for the position of next Emperor?" Deng Hui's question made Han Wenji suspicious of her. "Pardon me," she bowed and then lifted her head, "When I see every Prince in the Palace, it hurts me. His Majesty took such a big decision of snatching the rights of the Prince from my son and then sent him away from the Palace, without consulting me once."
"Empress Hui, you are taking me wrong. I did it for his betterment. Our son's happiness does not lie here. Though I realized it late," Han Wenji asserted. "I also know that Prince Nianzu is good among the Princes, but he could not differentiate between love and duties. He can never be the next Emperor because of that quality," he added and sighed. "Empress Hui, I have given him responsibility for the nation, but he refused it. Then, I made him advisor despite many ministers' opposition. But, then he did not respect that position. For him, all these do not matter. He wants a simple life," Han Wenji explained to Deng Hui.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty, for getting rude to you." Deng Hui lowered her head.
"You do not have to apologize. I understand that as a mother, it is tough for you. The other Princes are also your sons. Nianzu has already left us all, and he is happy in his current life," Han Wenji stressed in his words. Deng Hui knitted her brows. She was not happy with the Emperor's decision. However, she could not say anything on this matter.
She stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I shall return to my chamber. Tomorrow the Royal Astrologer will come," Deng Hui informed the Emperor, who was delighted to hear that.
"It is the time when the royal heirs shall be born," Han Wenji asserted.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Deng Hui replied.
"You shall go then. It was a nice conversation, Empress Hui," stated Han Wenji.
Deng Hui nodded, keeping a tiny smile on her lips, and left the Emperor's manor.
After reaching her manor, she waited for Gu Zhenya, who after an hour came to meet her. Bowing to her, he sat a few meters away from her, on his knees.
"Did you find out about the whereabouts of Prince Nianzu?" Deng Hui questioned him.
"My men are still searching for the Prince, Your Majesty. Please be patient," Gu Zhenya told her.
"Hmm." Deng Hui drew her brows together and said, "I talked to his majesty as according to our plan. I thought he loved my son, but it is the opposite. His Majesty sent him just because Prince Nianzu showed his disinterest in a few things. Then, his majesty told me to see other Princes as my sons. How can I? His Majesty even told me that Prince Nianzu cannot be the Emperor as he ran away from his duties."
Gu Zhenya patiently listened to Deng Hui.
"You were right, Minister Gu. The Emperor does not want anyone to be the Crown Prince and the Emperor other than Sheng Li. In the Emperor's eyes, only Sheng Li is the best. Though the Emperor did not directly admit that. Finally, I understood now why Weng Wei hated Sheng Li," Deng Hui clenched her fist. She was furious that just to keep Sheng Li's position safe, Han Wenji sent her son away without conversing with her once.
"Your Majesty, then would you like to go with my plan?" Gu Zhenya asked.
"Yes. We need to find Prince Nianzu first. Kill Chuntao, and this blame will be put on Sheng Li. Let's create the rift between these two brothers. I have seen my son always supporting Sheng Li. I lived 25 years as a concubine and bore all the torture to see my son at the position of the Crown Prince. Just because of a mere commoner, I cannot let his life get destroyed," Deng Hui pronounced. She was furious that the Emperor did not acknowledge her request.
Gu Zhenya smirked. "Your Majesty, until Sheng Li is alive, your son will not get his rights back. None of us can rule the way we all want. We need to kill Sheng Li as well," stated Gu Zhenya.
"That is going to be tough. Moreover, our plans can fail. Weng Wei used to have a stronger network than us still she got caught," Deng Hui affirmed.
"That's because of the Crown Princess. We need to throw these two away from our way. We need to create a situation where there will be killed together," Gu Zhenya asserted. Deng Hui nodded her head as she agreed with Minister Gu.
"Ying Lili is the strength of Sheng Li. Nianzu had told me once that Sheng Li found the perfect woman for her who does not get scared in any situation. Sheng Li might lose his confidence for once but Ying Lili never," stated Deng Hui with a menacing expression.
"I do not like the Crown Princess a bit. Most of the Ministers do not. She is way too extraordinary. She saved Sheng Li with her wit when he was poisoned. Weng Wei could have killed Hu Jingguo if the Crown Princess had told about him in front of everyone, so she accepted to get hanged to death then to risk the life of the Crown Prince. She is a brainy woman. Why don't we plan to kill her first?" Gu Zhenya suggested Deng Hui.
"Sheng Li will burn the Palace if anything happens to Ying Lili. The last time she took the arrow for him, and he did not even care about the status of Weng Wei. We need to kill both of them at once," Deng Hui proclaimed. Gu Zhenya was not aware of all these facts. He found the training he gave to Deng Hui finally worked out. Deng Hui observed everything keenly when she was a Concubine.
"Your Majesty, I will think about the Plan," stated Gu Zhenya. Deng Hui nodded.
"Inform me everything that you will find out about my son. We need to find him before it gets too late," Deng Hui opined.
