Chapter 72 – My Son is The Nine Thousandth (part 12)

In the end, Li Su didn’t say anything.
She just patted Li Yi Cheng’s shoulder.
“Rest early.
Go to school tomorrow morning.”

Li Yi Cheng thought that his mother would blame him, so he didn’t expect that she would just tell him to rest early.
He laughed.
“I know.
Mother, your son’s arm is injured, but I need to practice calligraphy.
Otherwise, sir will say something in class tomorrow.”

Li Su nodded.
“Are you hungry? Mother can make you something to eat.”

“I’m not hungry.
There are snacks in the house.
It’s late, mother.
Rest early!” Li Yi Cheng smiled.

Li Su touched Li Yi Cheng’s head.
“Okay, mother will head back.”

When she turned around, Li Su began to consider the possibility of directly killing Lu Wen Da and Princess Chang Shan.
She determined that it was unlikely.
Even if she could really kill them, it would be difficult to hide the bodies.
If she died too, then Li Yi Cheng might blacken.
Forget it.

Damn! If you make my son unhappy, I will make you unhappy too!

Li Su decided to do something to make sure Lu Wen Dan’s life wasn’t too comfortable.

Li Su thought for a long time, then decided to use her own methods.
She found Jiang Zhi En and asked, “Prince Qi played tricks last time.
Did you want to retaliate?”

Jiang Zhi En glanced at her.
“How did you know that the prince did not want revenge? But, it is the crown prince!” Why didn’t the prince think of revenge? The empress had strict control over the harem, otherwise it would not be so easy to let the prince enter the situation last time.
The crown prince was heavily protected, so even if the prince wanted to retaliate, it would be difficult to do anything for a while.

Jiang Zhi En saw Li Su’s smug look.
“Do you have a way?”

Li Su smiled and said, “Actually, you are looking in the wrong direction.
Even if you want revenge, why must you target the crown prince? What kind of identity does the crown prince have? Why don’t you change the direction?”

Jiang Zhi En saw through it.
“You mean Princess Chang Shan and Lu Wen Da?” Then, he sneered.
“What? Do you feel sorry for your son?”

“If you know, then why ask?” Li Su rolled her eyes.
“They are the reason my son has to work so hard.
Why does my son have to be so tired while they are happy up there?! Hurry up! Will you do it?”

Jiang Zhi En snorted coldly.
“Come on.
The prince already finds it difficult to move.
I know what to do.
Go back and wait for the news!”

Soon enough, the opportunity came.

The empress’ birthday was not celebrated because she was still young and there was flooding south of the river.
Only a family banquet was held in the palace.
Princess Chang Shan and Lu Wen Da also went to the palace for the banquet.
After the banquet was over, it was discovered that the emperor’s son-in-law, Lu Wen Da, and a concubine from the East Palace were behaving in an ambiguous manner, behaviour that was considered to be inappropriate.
When that concubine saw someone was coming, she was ashamed and threw herself into the lake.

Finally, the empress spoke.
“The emperor’s son-in-law drank too much and therefore acted improperly.
Then he was pulled away to sober up.
We and the emperor have decided that, in the future, the emperor’s son-in-law is not allowed to enter the palace without an imperial decree.
After all, there are a lot of women in the harem.” She then glanced at Princess Chang Shan.
“Bao Ling, take care of your husband.
If he can’t drink, then he shouldn’t.
If something like this happens, then it is your empress mother and your older brother who will lose face.”

After speaking, High-Ranking Imperial Concubine Qian and Prince Wang helped the empress back to the palace to rest.

The crown prince was younger and his understanding was not deep enough.
His face was red with anger.
The empress looked as usual and respectfully sent them off.

Princess Chang Shan looked at Lu Wen Da, who was lying on the ground, in anger and distress.
“Empress mother, older brother, someone framed him.
Darling Lu would not be so rude.”

“Enough.
Return to the palace before we talk,” the empress said angrily.

At this time, the guards had already picked up the concubine from the East Palace who had thrown herself into the lake.
The crown prince glanced at her and recognised that she was a pipa player that he had accidentally accepted.
A lowly person was really a lowly person.
Why didn’t anyone else have an accident? It just happened to her.
The crown prince looked away in disgust.
“Drag it out.
Don’t dirty your eyes.”

Two eunuchs immediately came over and dragged her away.

Jiang Zhi En stood at the gate of the palace, waiting.
When he saw that the corpse had been sent out, he lifted the white cloth and looked at it.
He said softly, “Don’t worry, our family will keep our promise.
Your younger siblings have already been taken and our family will arrange a good place for them.”

After Lu Wen Da was splashed with cold water a few times, he woke up.
He didn’t know what had happened, so he knelt on the ground blankly.
“Empress Mother, Your Highness, Princess, what happened? What happened?”

Xiao Bao Ling was embarrassed and annoyed.
She was about to fight with Lu Wen Da, but was interrupted by the empress.
“What happened today was the work of that Qian and her son.
It had nothing to do with him.
However, the empress has already said that he will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future without a decree.
You should leave the palace as soon as possible!”

“Empress mother!” Xiao Bao Ling yelled, aggrieved.
The emperor’s son-in-law was forbidden from entering the palace.
This also made her lose face.
How could she tolerate this?

“It’s just the emperor’s son-in-law who can’t enter.
We never said that you cannot enter the palace.
What does it matter?” How could such a thing happen on the empress’ birthday? But, she still had the spirit to comfort her daughter.

The crown prince’s expression wasn’t good.
He didn’t like Lu Wen Da at all.
After this incident, he didn’t have any positive feelings towards Lu Wen Da and he also didn’t have the patience to deal with Xiao Bao Ling.
“Okay, today is empress mother’s birthday.
You should rest assured!”

Xiao Bao Ling looked at the empress, aggrieved.
The empress frowned.
“Fine, you go out first.
We can talk about this later.”

Xiao Bao Ling had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
She saw Lu Wen Da still sitting there, stunned and feeling innocent about the humiliation he suffered today.
She slapped him.
“You are the one who caused trouble, so what are you doing here?”

Lu Wen Da was hit by a woman for the first time in his life.
He couldn’t accept it, even if the one who hit him was a princess.
Just when he was about to attack, the empress and the crown prince’s cold gaze swept over him.
Lu Wen Da jolted out of his daze.
He endured the humiliation and covered his face.
“Yes.” He then followed Xiao Bao Ling out of the palace.

The empress and the crown prince then discussed some matters.

Lu Wen Da heard what happened and his expression was indifferent.
He had nothing to say for a long time.

Xiao Bao Ling was still chattering and Lu Wen Da felt like the sky was about to collapse.
The crown prince didn’t like him, but now it was like this.
If something like this happened, he was afraid that the crown prince was completely disgusted by him.
Would he never be useful to him in this life? What should he do? Could he only yield to a woman for his entire life?

Lu Wen Da’s heart beat violently and he finally spouted a mouthful of blood, falling in the carriage.

After Li Su and Li Yi Cheng knew the truth, they were stunned.
Li Su felt that if Lu Wen Da continued like this, then he would be able to lead himself to death without Li Yi Cheng having to do anything.

Jiang Zhi En smiled.
As soon as this happened, the empress and crown prince had lost face and Prince Qi let out an evil laugh.
His mood was relaxed.
“Your idea, although quite malicious, was still very useful.”

Li Su glanced at the silent Li Yi Cheng.
She knew that Li Yi Cheng had always wanted to make Lu Wen Da regret his decisions.
Now that he didn’t need to do anything to Lu Wen Da, she figured he would need some time to accept this.

Although there was some relief to this incident, there might be terrible consequences that followed, Li Su thought.

“Have you ever thought about it? The road to the crown prince has been blocked.
What will Lu Wen Da do next? He is a man with ambition and a desire for power.
In order to climb his way to the top, he will do anything.
What do you think he will do next?” Li Su asked.

Jiang Zhi En frowned.
“What do you mean?”

“I mean that he might be desperate.
What if he seeks refuge with Prince Qi? What will you do then?” Li Su said.
“Don’t forget why we are cooperating with you.”

Jiang Zhi En began to think about this possibility seriously.
His goal had always been Princess Chang Shan and the crown prince.
Prince Qi’s goal was the crown prince.
If Lu Wen Da could take refuge with Prince Qi and be used by Prince Qi, then his identity as Princess Chang Shan’s husband could be used to humiliate the crown prince.
Prince Qi would definitely agree.
However, Jiang Zhi En thought of this and looked up at Li Yi Cheng.
“If Lu Wen Da really does seek refuge with Prince Qi, I hope that you can leave him alone for the time being.
After dealing with the crown prince and Princess Chang Shan, you can have Lu Wen Da.”

When Li Su and Li Yi Cheng heard Jiang Zhi En’s words, they understood that the two parties were just strangers.
Li Su did not speak and Li Yi Cheng did not object after he carefully considered it.
Of course, he was not qualified to decide.

“Yes, son will listen to foster father.
I just hope that foster father will remember what he said.”

After Jiang Zhi En left, Li Yi Cheng said, “Mother, son is going to read.”

Li Su grabbed Li Yi Cheng.
“Yi Cheng, are you unwilling?”

Li Yi Cheng did not refute her.
In fact, he was unreconciled.
Nobody would be willing to work with an enemy.

“Don’t blame your foster father.
His goals and our goals have never been the same.
I was just guessing.
If Lu Wen Da really seeks refuge with Prince Qi, then we can think of other ways.
If he can change his course halfway, can’t we also do the same?” Li Su smiled.

“Mother, what do you mean?” Li Yi Cheng was moved.
“Son understands.” His adoptive father’s current master was Prince Qi.
If Prince Qi insisted on using Lu Wen Da, then he could change his master.
His foster father likely won’t object.
His foster father said that as long as Li Yi Cheng could help him get revenge on the crown prince and Princess Chang Shan, then anyone could be his master.

Next, he would have to keep his eyes open and choose a master who was suitable, and easy to control.

Seeing Li Yi Cheng’s renewed spirit, Li Su knew that everything was still heading on the original trajectory, but there was a small difference.
In this life, Li Yi Cheng would likely not be the Nine Thousandth.
She would make whoever it was who made her a son a eunuch one as well!
