Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Eldest Princess was stunned when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
Li Xiaoran took a sip of tea and moistened her throat as she said, “Some people aren’t worthy of the throne. Even if you obtain it, you won’t last long! It’s the same for Prince Fu! If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see what happens to him!”
The Eldest Princess suddenly sneered and said sarcastically, “Didn’t you tell me so much because you want to persuade me to help your husband?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was stunned for a moment before laughing.
“To be honest, I never had such an idea! According to my initial plan, I should have killed you directly! After all, with you dead, my husband will have much less resistance! Besides, Eldest Princess, aren’t you a little too naive?! Do you really think that the factions under you have always been loyal to you?”
When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she asked, “What do you mean? Do you think my subordinates will betray me?”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “No, they don’t have to betray you. As long as you die, they can go wherever they want, so it can’t be considered a betrayal at all! Besides, they originally belonged to the late emperor’s faction. Previously, they listened to you because they thought that they were doing their job, but you deceived them and made them go from being the guardians of the country to traitors! Now, if we give them a chance to atone for their sins and earn back glory, what do you think they will choose?”
That’s right. This was the idea Li Xiaoran thought of after asking someone to bring the Eldest Princess and the others back.
Li Xiaoran asked Zi Cheng to tell her about the composition of the Eldest Princess’s faction and the main members. Then, she analyzed them one by one and finally came up with this plan.
She could get rid of the Eldest Princess, but she couldn’t let Prince Fu take over the Eldest Princess’ power.
Therefore, they had to think of a way to get all the factions under the Eldest Princess. Even if they couldn’t get them, they had to make sure that the people wouldn’t go against Luo Cheng and the Third Prince.
Therefore, Li Xiaoran came up with an excuse and asked Zi Cheng to send someone eloquent over here.
After some training, Li Xiaoran imparted the key points and core ideas of the persuasion to a few people and let them lobby those people.
Although she didn’t know how effective it would be, she would do as much as she could!
When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her face turned pale. Because she knew that Li Xiaoran had really grasped the thoughts of the people in her hands.
After the late emperor passed away and Prince Fu ascended the throne, her subordinates became dissatisfied with her.
Why did she appear here with so few people? It was because she vaguely felt that she could no longer mobilize her people.
Her subordinates didn’t say anything, but their words and actions revealed their dissatisfaction with her.
This was why the Eldest Princess wanted to kidnap Li Xiaoran and cooperate with Luo Cheng.
Others might not know, but the Eldest Princess knew very well.
The Third Prince and the Seventh Prince had a deep relationship, and the Seventh Prince wasn’t as weak as he seemed on the surface. Instead, he was a very influential person.
This could be deduced from some scattered information revealed by the late emperor when he chatted with her.
The Seventh Prince had no ambitions for the throne, but he was very capable.
She had military power and was reputable.
Therefore, the Eldest Princess wanted to use Li Xiaoran to win Luo Cheng’s trust and facilitate their cooperation so that Luo Cheng would support her as the empress.
Of course, if Luo Cheng didn’t agree, Li Xiaoran would become her hostage to threaten Luo Cheng with.
After all, she knew very well how much Luo Cheng cared about Li Xiaoran, so he would definitely agree to cooperate with her.
The Eldest Princess had a good plan, but she had underestimated Li Xiaoran. Li Xiaoran had never been a countryside girl, but a woman who had thousands of years worth of knowledge and had received modern education.
Her foresight, sharpness, and even breadth of mind far exceeded that of many men.
Therefore, the Eldest Princess suffered defeat at Li Xiaoran’s hands.
The Eldest Princess thought of something and said excitedly, “As expected, I underestimated you! I thought that I had thought too highly of you, but I didn’t expect to underestimate you! I’ve accepted my fate! Li Xiaoran, you’re a capable person, and you also agree that we women can be emperors. You also have the conditions to be the empress. Why don’t you fulfill the wish for me?!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she shook her head.
“Thank you, but I can’t fulfill your grand wish for you! You should wait for your next reincarnation to fulfill it!”
“Why? You are an ambitious person! Look at how much money you have made in White Foothill City! Where is your ambition? Why can’t you focus on the throne?” The Eldest Princess said.
Li Xiaoran laughed when she heard the Eldest Princess’s words and said, “Yes, I’m ambitious. My ambition is to earn money! If I earn money, I can gain self-affirmation and satisfaction. At the same time, I can help more people and families! As for the throne you mentioned, it’s a burden to me. As the consort, I can do whatever I want. I don’t have to worry all day long and stay up every day because of the heavy burden on my shoulders!”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “In my eyes, being the emperor is the most tiring job in the world, and the person who is the emperor is the most pitiful person in the world! I think you want me to be the empress because you have ill intentions and want to harm me! Forget it. I don’t want to talk to you anymore! Zi Cheng, tap the Eldest Princess’s mute acupoint and sleeping acupoint! ”
The Eldest Princess was about to say something when she saw Zi Cheng’s face. Then, she fell asleep.
“Sigh, it’s finally peaceful now!” Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the Eldest Princess had fallen asleep. “It’s too tiring to talk to her!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately amused.
“Madam, do you really think being the emperor is the most tiring job in the world?”
Li Xiaoran said seriously, “That’s right! Think about it, he has to get up early in the morning to deal with the government’s matters, and has to stay up late at night to approve memorials. Every day, he discusses important matters about the world. Every move he makes will have an immeasurable impact. Under such pressure, can one still have a good life? The emperor is powerful, but regarding many things, he’s tied down by the ministers.. He can’t do whatever he wants at all!”
