Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

183. Yuxing Tianrui Set His Plan

Translator: Sagocream

Luo Yun smiled when she saw Zhao Zheng was taken away. The first step of her plan was achieved. Although she knew that her master was in need of news, she still wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity. She pretended not to be aware of anything and continued to massage Ashina Fei’s arms and legs. She was just a clever woman.

Ashina Fei was very satisfied and he hugged her. “Baby, you just have to follow me obediently. Sooner of later, you will become the First Princess. As long as it is possible, I will save the position of the Queen for you in the future, so you just need to be docile right now, okay?”

“I’m not here for those power and fames,” Luo Yun said coquettishly, “Your Highness, back then, I fell for you not because of your identity, but because who you were. At that time, I just thought you were an ambassador who was ordered to invite the princess back to the Turk. Therefore, I love you because who you are, not because you will give me power and fame. Whatever you want is also my desire, Your Highness.”

These words really made Ashina Fei more than happy. He lifted his body and kissed Luo Yun’s lips. “You are really a gift from heaven. I thought that I would never meet someone as perfect as you.”

When she heard this, Luo Yun’s heart moved. However, she quickly suppressed her affection deep in her heart. She kept telling herself that she was here to complete the mission. She could not have personal feelings. The person in front of her was the one who wanted to invade the Shenglan country. He was totally the enemy of her!

Du Chuxuan also felt very complicated now. Time was swift and no concrete news were coming from Luo Yun. Everyone on the imperial court had known the matter, but Yuxing Tianrui acted as if nothing had happened all day. Only Du Chuxuan knew how difficult things were for Yuxing Tianrui.

Many ministers representing the Zhao Family did not agree to start another war with Turk. If the previous war was caused by the provocation from the Turk, then this one would completely become the invasion of Shenglan who took the intiative. Shenglan won last time with the leadership of Yuxing Tianrui, but they also suffered some losses.

In Old Master Zhao’s words, the current Shenglan country also needed some rest. Otherwise, there was no need to marry a princess to the Turk at that time, which totally ruined a young lady’s good youth. Of course, Du Chuxuan added the last sentence in his heart. Old Master Zhao wouldn’t dare to say this in the imperial court.

The Emperor was also in a dilemma. He didn’t want to have conflict with the old ministers, so all the pressure fell on Yuxing Tianrui. The person who supported the war became Yuxing Tianrui, while the Emperor was in the middle. He worried that the Turk was cooking up some evil intentions, and he also worried that the people of Shenglan would suffer in the war.

“I suggest, let’s send a killer to kill that old bastard directly! Then things will become easier,” Du Chuxuan said impatiently. In the past two days, when he had time in the day, he needed to bring Dongxiang with him to prepare a lot of items, especially he had to choose some of his subordinates who would be eyes and ears to supervise the two newcomers to the East Palace.

And he was worried that Yuxing Tianrui would be in the centre of the heated discussion this time. It was alright for the Emperor to use him as the representative of supporting the war, but Du Chuxuan was afraid that people in the country would regard Yuxing Tianrui as a man who only cared about his own fame. This was something he didn’t want to see the most.

It was also the truth. He heard that there were rumors among people, saying the Zhao Family married a daughter to the East Palace and they still attached importance to the interests of the people, and they even fought against the Crown Prince for the interest of the people. Although they didn’t say anything bad about Yuxing Tianrui, he didn’t say anything good about him either.

“Chuxuan, don’t worry,” Yuxing Tianrui said. He was sitting behind the table and was reading a book. He had been working hard for the past few days and he seemed a little tired. He even stopped practicing martial arts. Du Chuxuan spoiled him, so he said no words against it.

Seeing Yuxing Tianrui was not worried about the current situation at all, Du Chuxuan sighed helplessly, “You should know better than me that rumors are detrimental. Even if it proved that you were right in the end, what could you do then? If you lose people’s heart, you can never be appointed to lead the army by your Father! In the end, all you achievements will belong to others!”

Yuxing Tianrui looked at Du Chuxuan who was really furious and he smiled. “You are really worried about me, Chuxuan.” His eyes were glistening. If it wasn’t for Du Chuxuan still being angry, he would really have rushed up to hold Du Chuxuan and kiss him. At this moment, Du Chuxuan snorted but didn’t speak anymore.

“If both of us can think of it, how could my Father has not thought of it? Since he did this, he meant to lead me in this direction. The earlier I resist him, the more ways he could come up with to deal with me,” Yuxing Tianrui put down the book and said slowly.

Ever since he found that the account book of the East Palace was falsified, Yuxing Tianrui’s heart slowly became cold. Therefore, he realized why his Emperor Father was pampering him. His father said he needed to support the dignity of the Crown Prince, but from a different perspective, he was also saying that the Crown Prince was incompetent and still needed the Emperor’s support.

If his Father passed away, there would be people who say that the Crown Prince was incompetent. At that time, even if Yuxing Tianrui wanted to refute, he had lost the best opportunity.

This time, it was also the first time that Yuxing Tianrui went against the Emperor “openly”. Although it was caused by the Emperor, others could also see that the Emperor was hesitating and did not make a decision because he was pampering his son, the Crown Prince.

Therefore, the more powerful the Emperor suppress the other people, the fiercer others would go against Yuxing Tianrui in the future. This was the kind of trick that the Emperor had been playing for half a lifetime; he must be better at this than Yuxing Tianrui and Du Chuxuan. What Yuxing Tianrui could do right now was to protect himself to the greatest extent and also to protect the East Palace.

Du Chuxuan was frustrated. He also understood this. But in his heart, he was stil not convinced. After thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes and said, “The Emperor wants to slander you with the words of the people, so we can use the same method to counterattack!”

Looking at the confident Du Chuxuan, Yuxing Tianrui frowned. “What do you plan to do?”

Looking at Yuxing Tianrui suspiciously, Du Chuxuan held Yuxing Tianrui’s chin with his fingers. “Did you secretly read some filthy picture books today? Be good, this kind of filthy books are not suitable for you. They are not healthy.”
