Chapter 86: A Treacherous Scheme (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Nanling Emperor accepted Yan Song’s plan and began to draft an imperial decree for marriage.
“I will now give the marriage decree to Xue Fanxin and let her marry the Third Prince as his consort. She is a stupid and useless person. It is already her good fortune to be Third Prince’s consort.”
If it were not for the fact that he needed Xue Batian’s help now, he would never have let his favorite son marry a useless person as his wife, not even if she was his consort.
“Your Imperial Majesty is wise.” Yan Song first flattered the Nanling Emperor, then continued, “But everyone knows that Lian Bingyu is in love with the Third Prince. With this imperial edict, Lian Bingyu will definitely see Xue Fanxin as a thorn in her side. With her ability, she can crush Xue Fanxin at any time. Once anything happens to Xue Fanxin, Xue Batian will definitely go crazy.”
“Lian Bingyu is Sage Zhong Yang’s disciple and is a Rank Two alchemist, to begin with. Such a person can’t be offended, not to mention that she has the Lian family backing her.” The more the Nanling Emperor thought about it, the more he felt that the imperial decree would land him in trouble with the Lian family, so he hesitated.
Yan Song gave another suggestion. “Your Majesty, this matter is actually very easy to resolve. You can send another imperial decree. It will also be a marriage decree, asking Lian Bingyu to marry the Third Prince and become his official wife. At the same time, you can have a private chat with her and say that giving Xue Fanxin a wedding is only a temporary measure. Let her bear with it for the sake of the Third Prince.”
“You have a point. Let’s do it.”
Xue Fanxin’s anger grew as she listened from the roof. She really wanted to rush in and beat these two heartless fellows up, but she ultimately resisted.
Are you plotting against me?
Then you will have to bear my wrath.
“Little Xin’er, isn’t this show exciting?” Ye Jiushang asked with a mysterious smile. Although he was smiling, he was actually very angry. There was a hidden knife in his smile.
How dare they lay their hands on his future consort? How could he not be angry?
It was time for the Nanling Emperor to be replaced.
“It’s indeed very interesting, extremely interesting. Initially, I thought that after Grandpa resigned, the Nanling Emperor would no longer look for trouble with us. It looks like I was thinking too much. How can such a heartless person let go of anyone of value? I’ll go and destroy that Third Prince Ye Chenping now and see how this imperial edict for marriage is going to be issued!”
“Even if Ye Chenping is dead, you’ll still have to marry him and live as a widow for the rest of your life as long as that imperial edict is given.”
“Then I’ll destroy the imperial edict secretly.”
“If the imperial edict is destroyed, the Nanling Emperor can write again.”
“Then I’ll destroy the Nanling Emperor.”
“If you have the ability, I won’t stop you.”
Although the Nanling Emperor was only the ruler of a small country, he still had quite a few experts protecting him. If one wanted to kill him, they would have to be powerful or they would just be sending themselves to death.
Xue Fanxin also knew that killing the Nanling Emperor was not an easy task, but she really could not think of a better solution. No matter what, she could not let the imperial edict of marriage be announced to the world.
“Don’t be anxious. I have my ways.”
“What ways?”
“I’ll send you back to the estate first. You’ll find out soon.” Ye Jiushang deliberately kept her in suspense and did not explain. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the Duke’s Estate before leaving again.
Xue Fanxin did not know where Ye Jiushang had gone or what he had gone to do, but she had an inexplicable trust in him. If Ye Jiushang said that he had a way, then he must have a way. She just had to wait at home.
Taking a step back, even if the imperial edict for the marriage was really issued, she had a way to end the marriage.. At most, she could escape. As long as she escaped from the Nanling Empire, what could the Nanling Emperor do to her?
