With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1045 The Heir Takes the Empire as Dowry 57
They never bring Seventeen along when they hold a small meeting.

Seventeen, that blockhead, would only stay by her side at all times and didn't like to hang out with them.

"So, what do you mean?" Ji Zixing asked.

The fact that the woman in the palace is still alive means that Xie Nuo cannot ascend to the throne, which is indeed frustrating.

Seeing that Xie Nuo was already thirty, and he was much older than Xie Nuo, his patience was almost worn out.

Judging from the current situation, the one in the palace is probably still getting better, otherwise how could she be alive and well at the age of forty-five?

If she really lives to sixty, what business will it have of theirs?
The further they go, the more disadvantageous it becomes for them; who knows what the situation will be like many years from now.

The best solution is to kill that person, kill them immediately.

Unfortunately, given Xie Nuo's personality, he probably won't make a move against that person, which makes things much more difficult. So, we need to think of a way.

Sheno is the most indispensable person on this ship; we must get her involved for things to succeed.

“Only when that person dies will Xie Nuo have a chance to take over,” Ye Mao replied. The Zhao Kingdom is too powerful now. Even if the Wu Kingdom develops slowly, it will never be able to compare with the Zhao Kingdom.

Only if Xie Nuo takes the throne will he have the opportunity to gain more for the Wu Kingdom.

At this moment, the group of people, each with their own agenda, reached a cooperation agreement.

In the days that followed, Azhen survived assassination attempts, poisonings, and several other man-made accidents. Unfortunately for her, she was no ordinary person, and none of these things could harm her.

"It seems they're getting restless."

"Does Your Majesty intend to use this opportunity to deal with them all?" Yuan Qi asked.

These assassinations left no evidence; the people sent were all suicide agents who died before they could succeed.

“No rush,” Azhen said. “There are some troublesome and dangerous things going on lately, which can be left to Xie Nuo to handle.”

Yuan Qi's lips twitched. Was His Majesty trying to squeeze every last drop out of those people? And yet, they actually went out of their way to complete the task.

Xie Nuo received another assignment, and upon returning home, she discussed it with her six husbands.

Assassination is assassination, but since they haven't openly broken ties, Yun Qinglan and the others dare not reveal their purpose. They still need to properly handle the task Xie Nuo has been assigned.

However, their repeated failed assassination attempts infuriated them greatly.

On their way to run the errand, they discussed that things would definitely go much more smoothly if Xie Nuo were involved. However, they were afraid that Xie Nuo wouldn't agree to overthrow that person for no reason.

So the group discussed giving Xie Nuo a strong dose of medicine.

Convincing Xie Nuo was a piece of cake for them.

When they returned after finishing their errands, their plan was already in progress.

Xie Nuo first learned that Azhen's health had already improved, and that he would not only not die young, but would not have any problem living to the age of sixty.

Xie Nuo did the math: if her aunt was sixty, she would be forty-five. If things really improved, given the current standard of living in Zhao Kingdom, she might even live longer.

She was somewhat disappointed upon hearing the news, but that wasn't her main concern. After all, under her aunt's rule, the Zhao Kingdom had truly prospered, and she was genuinely satisfied with the current situation.

Then she heard that Azhen had other ideas about the heir.

If it were someone else, they might have rebelled because of this news, and would have taken action no matter what, even if it meant going all in. Not many people have the patience to wait, and who knows what might happen next? But she is Xie Nuo.

She is well aware of her own abilities.

She had witnessed her aunt's abilities firsthand.

The Zhao Kingdom is now peaceful, powerful, and prosperous. What does she have to compete with her aunt for? Isn't that suicide? How can she not understand? Even if she doesn't think she's inferior, she doesn't think she can succeed. She simply has no chance.

Given Aunt's current situation, even if there is another heir, do you think that person can take over in a short time?
Even if there were to be competition, it would be when that time came, competing with the so-called other candidate. They never even considered the possibility of overthrowing Azhen.

Upon noticing Xie Nuo's attitude, Yun Qinglan and the others were dumbfounded. They never expected that Xie Nuo could tolerate this.

When Azhen found out, she couldn't help but laugh.

After all these years with Xie Nuo, didn't they realize that Xie Nuo wasn't actually a combative person? She was just an ordinary person, with some dreams and knowledge due to her environment. But deep down, she was pleasure-seeking, lazy, and didn't like taking risks.

She is easily satisfied with the status quo.

They'd be better off organizing themselves than hoping for a rebellion by Xenius.

"Let's find an opportunity to reveal Zhuang Xu and Yun Qinglan's identities to Xie Nuo," Azhen said. Things had come to this point, and it was time to speed things up.

Yuan Qi replied, "Yes."

At this moment, the atmosphere between Xie Nuo and her husbands was somewhat tense, because her husbands had also learned about the messages she had received and had come to her to make plans as soon as possible.

“Aunt’s long life is good for Zhao Kingdom.”

"Auntie has someone else in mind. We'll see who's the best then."

"Besides, Aunt is still alive, so don't think too much about it."

Ji Churong said, "Princess, if you don't make plans soon, what will happen to our child when that day comes? You should understand that if you hadn't taken that position, with your current reputation, would the new emperor really have tolerated you?"

These words made Xie Nuo's heart tighten: "So what are your thoughts?"

"It's best to strike first," Zhuang Xu added. "The sooner the princess takes that position, the better."

Xie Nuo's eyes widened suddenly, then she shook her head: "Impossible, I would never harm my aunt."

She had never thought of, nor dared to think of, such a method.

If she really did that, what would she become?

"What do you mean by this? Are you asking me to go against my aunt? Putting aside the fact that she is my aunt, how good she has been to me all these years, how much she has trusted me, and how she has never wronged me in any way. Besides, with my aunt's abilities, do you think I can fight against her? Are you overestimating me or underestimating her? Is someone who has built Zhao Kingdom into such a good place really so easy to overthrow? And, with Zhao Kingdom so good now, why would I do such a thing?"

She didn't understand; she came from a more prosperous world.

That world has many countries. Leaving aside other countries, even the country she came from, Zhao Kingdom's level is definitely still lagging behind. But she knows a difficult history and how difficult it has been for Zhao Kingdom to get here over the years.

She is a peace-loving person at heart.

How could we bear to disrupt the current peace? Throughout history, whether in this world or the previous one, how many emperors have achieved what Zhao Kingdom has today? Some countries are powerful, but their people are unhappy.
