C207 A Case of Killing a Chicken to Make a Monkey an Example

0Lee Wanning woke up from her sleep and looked around. In the darkness, there was a shadow approaching her.    

    

Lee Wanning was frightened out of her wits. Just as she was about to call someone to come in, that person had already covered her mouth and whispered, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not speak."    

    

Lee Wanning felt that her voice was a little familiar, but she couldn't recall where she heard it. Just as she was about to speak, he said, "I don't want to hurt you. As long as you give the Emperor to me, I'll pretend that nothing happened."    

    

Lee Wanning's heart shuddered, then she said, "The Emperor is the ruler of a nation, how can I give him to you?"    

    

The man sneered and said, "What monarch? He is just a newborn baby! "If you dare to scream, I'll cut your throat!"    

    

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside. "Empress, did you rest?"    

    

Lee Wanning's heart trembled when she heard the voice. Just as she was about to speak, that person's dagger had already approached her throat. Lee Wanning gritted her teeth and said, "Where can you go with the emperor in your arms? If you leave, I can also give the order to capture you. In the entire Capital City, it would be hard for you to even take a step out! "    

    

"Why did I take the Emperor away?"    

    

That person sneered and said, "What I want is his life!"    

    

Lee Wanning's expression changed when she heard that. She then said, "You …"    

    

"Isn't that what Empress Dowager was thinking in her heart? As long as the Emperor dies, this entire Yingjia Country won't be yours, right? "    

    

Lee Wanning suddenly knew who the person in front of her was, but she suppressed her anger and said, "I'm sorry, I've never thought of that before. I'm afraid that's what you're thinking, right? Right now, the entire Yingjia Nation is being coveted, and the reason why the four nations have such wild ambitions, is because of people like you. This Yingjia Nation will probably be torn into pieces before anyone else can attack it! "    

    

Lee Wanning's voice was filled with anger, which made that person shudder. At this moment, the people outside finally felt that something was amiss. They pushed open the door and said, "Empress …" "Who's inside?!"    

    

With that, he was about to go out and call for someone, but the people behind Lee Wanning reacted quickly and stepped forward immediately.    

    

"No!"    

    

Lee Wanning only had time to say a few words before the sharp dagger had already cut open the man's throat.    

    

The fresh, red blood was what Lee Wanning saw when she lit the candle.    

    

Her whole body was shaking.    

    

It was Zhou Huai.    

    

The person holding the dagger was Ann Ping.    

    

Lee Wanning's entire body was trembling. Then, she shouted loudly, "Someone, come! Call her an imperial physician! "    

    

There was an obvious tremble in her voice. Then, she went forward and picked Zhou Huai up.    

    

Zhou Huai trembled.    

    

Lee Wanning looked at him with her eyes. She didn't even dare to help him up.    

    

What she could see was Zhou Huai's face turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her hands clenched tightly as she pointed at Ann Ping. "Men, pull this assassin down!"    

    

"Who would dare! I am Prince Regent! "    

    

Upon hearing these words, the people who originally wanted to step forward froze in their tracks and looked at Lee Wanning.    

    

Lee Wanning gritted her teeth and said, "Are you saying that Prince Regent is Prince Regent? How could the dignified Prince Regent not know that this harem was forbidden by foreign officials? What are you trying to do, to sneak into This Dowager's room in the dark? "Someone, drag him down and execute him immediately!"    

    

Lee Wanning's voice was unquestionable. Ann Ping immediately raised his eyes, and at the same time, the imperial physician told Lee Wanning, "Empress, this Little Li …" It's already dead. "    

    

Lee Wanning's entire body shuddered. She gritted her teeth and said, "What are you guys doing here? "Drag that assassin away!"    

    

"I want to see who dares?"    

    

Ann Ping's voice was also sharp. Those people immediately turned to look at Lee Wanning, but Lee Wanning had already walked to the side and stood on the stage saying, "This one is the empress dowager, and now I am representing the emperor. This assassin is plotting against us, what are you all waiting for?"    

    

Those people didn't dare to hesitate any longer and went forward to pull Ann Ping back. However, Ann Ping had martial arts on him, so he was directly opened when those people approached.    

    

Lee Wanning's eyes were cold to the extreme. She looked at Ann Ping and said, "This assassin is really bold. If I don't execute you today, I will!" I really don't believe it! "    

    

Lee Wanning's eyes were unquestionable. That look let Ann Ping know that something was wrong and he turned around to leave.    

    

Those imperial soldiers were not just for appearance. When they heard Lee Wanning's order to kill them, they did not hesitate either.    

    

That night, Ann Ping's blood and Zhou Huai's blood dyed Lee Wanning's entire room red.    

    

The next day, an uproar broke out in the imperial court.    

    

Some people said that it was not rational for Empress Dowager to say that. How many soldiers and horses did Prince Regent have in the feudal fiefdom? If this news were to spread, what would happen if those people rebelled?    

    

Some people also said that Empress Dowager was shaking the country's foundation by doing so. After all, Prince Regent's background was here, and if anything happened to the emperor, Prince Regent would have the most authority to succeed the throne.    

    

The entire imperial court was in an uproar. Lee Wanning silently watched from above.    

    

Zhou Qu frowned as he looked at her. Although others couldn't see it, Zhou Qu was able to see Lee Wanning's tightly clenched hands.    

    

"Enough?"    

    

When this voice was heard, the entire imperial court was at peace.    

    

Everyone looked over, to see Lee Wanning looking at them. She had already stood up and said, "This matter, This Dowager has already decided. I will personally head over to Yanguang County!"    

    

This sentence immediately silenced the originally slightly noisy imperial court. Everyone looked at Lee Wanning with disbelief in their eyes.    

    

Someone knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, you're the pillar of power for the entire Yingjia, if you go there, what would you do …"    

    

That person suddenly stopped talking. Even if he didn't say it, Lee Wanning knew what he meant.    

    

She looked forward and said, "All of you know what I'm talking about, but this time, I must go and appease the soldiers and generals there. And, from today onwards, no one can say that they are Prince Regent's troops and horses. "This Prince Regent is too bold and reckless. If he isn't treated today, does he still want to wait until the day comes in the future for Prince Regent to directly rebel!?"    

    

Lee Wanning's eyes were filled with determination. That unquestionable look caused everyone present to freeze for a moment.    

    

Following that, everyone kneeled down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live and long live Empress Dowager! Long live and long live Empress Dowager!"    

    

After the assembly broke up, everyone slowly walked to the front, discussing about what had just happened.    

    

"This Empress Dowager is really …" What if something happens on the way this time? "    

    

"Yeah, since the Emperor is so young, what should we do if something happens to Empress Dowager?"    

    

"Yeah, although it's not a good thing to give a woman authority, but under such circumstances, with Empress Dowager here, it's still good!"    

    

"Exactly, if now …"    

    

Before the two of them finished talking, they suddenly felt a depressing atmosphere. They both turned around at the same time and saw that Zhou Qu had appeared behind them without them realizing.    

    

The cold aura coming from his body made their faces change. Then, they heard Zhou Qu say, "The most taboo thing in the court is talking nonsense. Don't the two lords know about it?"    

    

The two of them were shocked by Zhou Qu's sudden words. Just as they were at a loss as to how to answer, Zhou Qu had already walked past them.    

    

Wen Chenghao quickly caught up.    

    

When Zhou Qu saw him, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he said flatly, "What can I do for you, Master Wen?"    

    

Wen Chenghao had a bright smile on his face as he said, "Others don't say, but General Zhou is truly loyal and devoted to Empress Dowager!"    

    

Just as he was about to ask him what he meant, Wen Chenghao continued, "The previous emperors that ascended to the throne will have to change their blood in the imperial court once. But this time, the emperor is still young, and Empress Dowager knows that the human heart is impetuous, so she didn't make any moves, but from my point of view, there are some necessary moves that should be made, not to mention …"    

    

Wen Chenghao paused for a moment before continuing, "The empress dowager wanted to consolidate her faith, but she forgot an important matter."    

    

Zhou Qu raised his eyes, and saw the smile on Wen Chenghao's lips. He said, "Some people's hearts were not with us from the start, otherwise, it would be better."    

    

For example, Prince Regent.    

    

Of course, Lee Wanning had taken this step right. With Ann Ping's personality and conduct, there would come a day when he would be killed. Lee Wanning's actions last night, aside from making an example to others, had one other thing to do, which was to eliminate the root of the problem.    

    

Those who wanted to support Prince Regent, or rather those who didn't agree with her authority from the beginning, all … Kill them all!    

    

Lee Wanning also knew that this time, going to the Yanguang County would definitely be dangerous, but she would still be able to save a lot of trouble, even if … She didn't care if it meant risking her life or bearing the shame of the whole world!
