Chapter Four
Regarding the matter of Shuhuai, Zhao Peng didn't want to get too involved. According to her plan, her best option now is to wait for a good opportunity, try to contact Zhao Yu, and then return to Beiyen. Once back in Beiyen, she will settle the score with Shuhuai for the three times he thought she was dead!
But Zhao Yu has already become the Emperor of Beiyen. She, now just a powerless princess of Qiguo, if she rashly contacts Zhao Yu and gets discovered, she might be accused of treason.
So before that happens, she needs to find a way to live a little better.
Even if she contacts Zhao Yu, what if he doesn't believe her?
If Zhao Yu doesn't believe her, then she is destined to be just Zhao Peng. So, for all possibilities, she must now put herself in Zhao Peng's position and plan for the future on her behalf.
So she asked Li Shu how to deal with Shuhuai.
Unexpectedly, this Empress Dowager was as timid as an ordinary woman, too scared to even mention his name.
Li Shu lowered her head and muttered while wiping her hands with a handkerchief, "He has great power now, it's already good enough that he doesn't harm us, why are you asking me what to do? What can I do? I'll just be honest, if he sees us obedient, he won't do anything to us, right? Oh, these matters, let's think about them when Ming'er grows up, you don't know how smart Ming'er is, when he grows up..."
Li Shu's thoughts seemed to be lost, as she started talking about praising Qin Ming, her eyes shining with admiration. She then reached out to pull Zhao Peng and continued, "At that time, Ming'er will definitely be very capable, he will naturally find a way to deal with Shuhuai. Let's just be obedient now, not say anything, that's good."
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Peng's face turned slightly cold, and she silently withdrew her hand from Li Shu's grasp, sitting beside her and said, "But what if Shuhuai doesn't wait until His Majesty grows up?"
Li Shu's face stiffened, "What do you mean by that?"
"Shuhuai is the legitimate son of Emperor Jing. In terms of bloodline, he is the true royal bloodline. It's just that because Emperor Jing's reputation was too bad, and his father's reputation was too good, the ministers and people now remember the kindness of the father more, and are more afraid of Emperor Jing's son. That's why Shuhuai didn't ascend to the throne at this time. In a few years, when he accumulates power and gains a good reputation, replacing the old officials of his father, then when he wants to ascend the throne, it will be a matter of course. At that time, Ming'er will only be a teenager, being overshadowed by a young emperor, how can he compete with Shuhuai?"
"He..." Li Shu listened to Zhao Peng's words, unable to speak, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, a look of fear on her face.
Zhao Peng waited for this cheap mother to figure it out. After a moment, Li Shu suddenly raised her head, "I have a way."
"Oh?"
Zhao Peng was puzzled, not understanding what kind of idea Li Shu could come up with.
With a gleam in her eyes, Li Shu looked at Zhao Peng, took her hand and said, "Peng'er, Ming'er's fate depends on you."
"What does Mother mean..." Zhao Peng asked cautiously, not sure if Li Shu's idea aligned with hers.
For now, Shuhuai won't harm them, no matter what, Li Shu must ensure that Zhao Peng returns with the title of Princess Zhen Guo.
Although there is only a difference of two words between Princess and Princess Zhen Guo, the difference in actual power is significant.
Princess is just the emperor's sister, a symbol of favor and honor.
