Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Thinking of the Imperial Consorts recent instructions, an impulse surged in Lady Yus heart again.

Her adopted brother, Master Guo, had been executed three days ago.

Even if she could leave this place after 20 days, with Zhang Shi here, she would not be able to regain her former glory.

Without her adopted brothers help, there would be no place for her in the harem.

Moreover, since she had reported the matter, the Emperor did not pursue responsibility for the time being.

However, when he recovered and investigated the matter of the Life Essence Pill, it was inevitable that he would vent his anger on her. At that time, how would she save herself?

Looking at Emperor Yan, who was gradually calming down, and Zhang Shi, who was still hugging Emperor Yan and crying, a sinister glint flashed across Lady Yus eyes.

Climbing up from the ground, Lady Yu left the hall and asked the palace servants guarding outside to bring hot water.

When the hot water arrived, she carried it into the hall.

At this moment, Emperor Yan was sleeping.

Zhang Shi saw Lady Yu come in with hot water, so she stood up and walked to her.

Give it to me.

Lady Yu turned to look at Emperor Yan on the bed and handed the basin to Zhang Shi.

She was clearly the talented one, Zhang Shi was just a commoner girl who didnt even have a rank.

However, in the past few days, she had become Zhang Shis servant.bender

Not only was it difficult to serve the Emperor personally, but she also had to be Zhang Shis assistant.

Seeing that Zhang Shi didnt even look at her and carried the basin to the bedside, the anger in Lady Yus heart became even more intense. Her eyes were also burning with ruthlessness

After a while.

After Zhang Shi finished wiping Emperor Yan, she sighed and threw the handkerchief into the basin.

Then, she rubbed her forehead tiredly and got up.

Then, she came out with a basin of water.

The Emperor has already fallen asleep. When he wakes up, he can take the tonic.

Ill have to trouble you to bring the water out and pour it out. Also, bring me the tonic. After saying that, Zhang Shi directly handed the basin to Lady Yu.

A hint of gloominess flashed across Lady Yus eyes as she reached out to take the basin.

Then, she turned around and left.

Zhang Shi saw her reaction, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smug smile.

So what if hse was dissatisfied? The Emperor only wanted her to take care of him. Wasnt the purpose of her existence in Shuanghua Palace to serve her and the Emperor?

Zhang Shi didnt know that Lady Yus eyes were already filled with malevolence.

She carried the basin to the entrance of the palace and handed it to the palace servants.

Then, she took out the tonic that Emperor Yan was going to take today.

No one noticed that on the way back to the hall, Lady Yu had swapped the pills.

After replacing the pill, a sinister smile appeared on Lady Yus face.

Emperor, you are not kind to me, so dont blame me for being unjust to you

In court.

Emperor Yan was currently busy quitting his drug addiction. As his health was not good, he was either lashing out or sleeping. He had very little time to be awake.

Now, he had no mood to care about the situation of the previous dynasty.

Liu Wuji took this opportunity to firmly control the government.

Sir, urgent report from the border! Recently, the Chu Jin army had gathered at the border! Generals Zheng and Wu, please send reinforcements! The Minister of War stepped forward.

The court was in an uproar.

There were rumors in the court that Chu Jin was preparing to start another war.

Furthermore, the Imperial Court had been making arrangements and responding to the situation.

Unfortunately, the imperial court had few generals and soldiers, and the national treasury was not full enough. No matter how well prepared they were, it was difficult to be thorough.

Liu Wuji sat in a position below Emperor Yans throne, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the courtiers.

Everyone, do you have any suggestions? He said.

The hall fell silent.

The soldiers that the Ministry of War can mobilize have already been dispatched. All of them are heading to the border.

The remaining soldiers guarding the various places, as well as the capitals military equipment, cannot be moved without authorization.

But there are too many places that need to be guarded in the new border defense line. The current manpower at the border is not enough to resist the Chu Jin cavalry.

After ceding a few cities, the Great Yans new border had been extended, and the cities that needed to be reinforced had not been completed yet.

If they really started the war now, it would be very difficult for the Great Yan to defend.

Thus, I suggest sending soldiers from the various fiefs to the border to fight against Chu and Jin!

As soon as he said this, the hall was filled with discussions.

Indeed, each fief had soldiers, but the number of soldiers was not that many.

However, was it appropriate to rashly let the enfeoffed kings participate in the border war?

This will not only solve the problem of insufficient soldiers, the Minister of War continued when he saw that Liu Wuji did not speak.

Let each fief send out troops. The fiefs will be self-sufficient. It can also save the national treasurys military expenses and reduce the pressure on the national treasury.

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.

I agree! He hurriedly took a step forward.

Following closely behind the Minister, several officials from the Ministry of Revenue also followed.

I also agree! he said..
