Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1162: Empress’ Bedroom

Yun Susu never thought of vying for the throne, but suddenly had to prepare to become the Emperor; her heart was full of helplessness and confusion.

Qin Yi looked at her and said, "Third Princess, you don't have to think about anything right now; just prepare to be a good Emperor."

Yun Mengyao also advised, "Third Princess, it's alright. You were born into the Royal Family, exposed to its ways since childhood. You dared to go to the Tianyue Empire alone to steal Cloud Moon's plan. I believe in your boldness and courage. I also believe you will become a good Emperor."

Yun Susu looked bewildered, "But how can I become a good Emperor? I can't even be a good Princess."

Qin Yi looked at her and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I'll give you eight words, and you can certainly be a good Emperor."

Yun Susu looked at Qin Yi hopefully.

Qin Yi slowly said, "Govern the country with virtue, be decisive in killing and warfare."

Yun Susu was utterly confused. These eight words seemed completely contradictory.

Yun Mengyao said, "Is this difficult to understand? Qin Yi means that you can be merciful, just maintain your true nature. But you cannot be blindly merciful, as people will deem you weak and easy to bully. Therefore, you need to be decisive in killing and warfare. When facing those who deserve to die, show no mercy.

Governing a country is like managing a family; besides balancing various forces, you must establish authority and be clear in rewards and punishments."

Qin Yi looked at Yun Mengyao in surprise; this woman actually understood the way of governing a nation.

Yun Mengyao glanced at him, smugly saying, "Don't look at me with such admiration. I am the Holy Daughter of the Feather Clan, and I have been educated in how to manage a family since childhood. Actually, governing a country is quite similar to managing a family."

Qin Yi laughed, "It seems I need to take back what I said earlier."

"What did you say?"

"Big-chested with no brain."

Yun Mengyao was stunned and feigned anger, "Can't I be both big-chested and brainy, possessing beauty and wisdom?"

"Yes, keep it up!" Qin Yi laughed.

Yun Mengyao rolled her eyes, turned to comfort Yun Susu, "Don't overthink. Leave the dangerous things to a bad guy like Qin Yi, and you just focus on being a good Emperor. I believe in your ability."

Yun Susu gratefully said, "Thank you!"

She really needed encouragement now.

Qin Yi checked the time; it was already late.

"Yun Mengyao, I'll leave the Third Princess to you. It's late; I must leave."

"Leaving so soon?"

"Will I be able to leave at dawn?" Qin Yi rolled his eyes, having just praised this woman, and she's already showing what it means to be big-chested with no brain.

Yun Mengyao said, "Are you really not planning to take me along?"

"Just stay put here. When the Third Princess becomes Emperor, you can openly walk out of the Royal Family."

"Alright! I'll stay a few more days with the Third Princess. Let me tell you, after it's done, the military merits will be equally shared between us."

Qin Yi teased, "I didn't expect you to know this phrase too. It seems you haven't missed learning anything from my hometown."

"That's because I'm willing to learn and know well."

Qin Yi: "..."

He shook his head helplessly; this woman was quickest in learning how to be thick-skinned.

Qin Yi was about to leave when Yun Susu said, "Young Master Qin, be careful! Nearby is the Empress's bedroom, and there are many experts guarding it."

"The current Empress?" Qin Yi was slightly stunned and asked promptly.

Yun Susu nodded slightly, "Our house arrest was arranged by the Empress. By placing us here, the Empress can monitor us better."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, realizing why Qiu Tang's courtyard was shabby while this one was extraordinarily luxurious; it was adjacent to the Empress's bedroom.

Qin Yi waved his hand and left.

Originally intending to leave the Royal Family, but curiosity piques everyone's interest, Qin Yi was attracted by the Empress's bedroom next door.

He thought for a moment, arranged a Concealing Array on himself to mask his aura and form, and stealthily moved towards the Empress's bedroom. One must say, Qin Yi had an adventurous spirit in his bones; this was the Royal Family, and someone like him wandering around was unique.

Around the Empress's bedroom, it was filled with experts; a few auras were exceptionally formidable, making even Qin Yi extra cautious.

In the main hall's center, candlelight flickered, with soldiers and maids guarding the entrance.

Qin Yi silently leapt onto the rooftop, then extended his Divine Thought to listen to the sounds inside.

Hmm?

Qin Yi was slightly startled; why were there only two auras in the main hall? An Early Stage expert and one at Great Perfection.

Qin Yi listened closely.

"Is Xuanxuan doing well over there?"

"The Second Prince's condition isn't very good."

First, a voice filled with authority of a woman. The last answer came from a man, his voice dull with a metallic hint.

Qin Yi's eyes flickered slightly; a voice with a metallic tone. It's a Black Armor Warrior. Could his luck be this good? Qin Yi was amused, seemingly blessed by Lady Luck.

"Xuanxuan has had too smooth a journey; encountering setbacks isn't necessarily a bad thing."

The Black Armor Warrior said, "I worry he may not recover."

"You are perhaps too strict in overseeing him. Can't you give him some breathing space? The entire Second Prince Mansion is so heavily guarded that not even a fly can get in; are you trying to drive him insane?"

The female voice likely came from the Empress, filled with anger.

"You know I'm not the only one surveilling."

"So what? Xuanxuan is your son; if he fails to secure the throne, you and your son may never recognize each other in this life." The Empress's voice was sharp with anger.

"Lower your voice. Do you want to get us killed?" the Black Armor Warrior said angrily.

The Empress sneered a few times, "Now you know to be scared? When you climbed onto my phoenix bed, why weren't you scared then?"

"You drugged me back then; otherwise, I would never have wronged the Emperor."

"Di Ge, we've been childhood sweethearts. Do you dare claim you've never admired me? If your heart didn't have me, would that drug even work with your Cultivation?"

For a long time, the Black Armor Warrior remained silent, seemingly caught by the Empress's words.

Qin Yi was listening intently, his eyes lighting up. Damn, this is explosive news; the Second Prince isn't the Emperor's biological son, and the trusted Black Armor Warrior had cuckolded him. This is truly interesting.

"Enough, let's not talk about this now. Have you prepared everything I instructed? Everything originates from that bitch Qiu Tang; as long as her name is sullied and the Emperor orders her death, everything will be resolved."

After a while, the Empress's voice rang out again.

Only to hear the Black Armor Warrior say, "Everything's arranged; I've bribed the maid responsible for her meals. Once the drug takes effect and soldiers rush in, you can send people in. Just find a soldier to capture, cut off his tongue, and claim he had an affair with that bitch Qiu Tang. This dirt will be entirely on her.

Given the Emperor's temperament, he won't listen to Qiu Tang's defense, and will inevitably order an immediate execution. By then, she'll be dead without any proof, solving all our problems easily."
