The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 529 - 469: Prison Robbery (Part 3)

Will it be?

The answer is naturally negative!

The Empress Dowager is obsessed with revenge, it has become her obsession, her inner demon.

To put it bluntly, even if Emperor Xia told the truth to the Empress Dowager, she would cause other issues.

For revenge, the Empress Dowager does not care about the stability of Daxia, she only wants to bring down the Wei Family and make Wei Huo and her father pay with their lives.

In this matter, Wei Huo is very wronged, and even more so is the Wei Family.

However, the Empress Dowager is unreasonable; she believes that her father’s death was caused by Wei Huo, and this belief gnaws at her day and night, driving her to madness.

"Aunt, what should I do?"

"I do not know!"

The Eldest Princess had a bitter expression, "Your Majesty is the ruler of Daxia, you should decide what to do!"

"I am just here to pass on the message!"

The Eldest Princess had her own thoughts, but she dared not speak them.

She is indeed the Eldest Princess of Daxia and indeed Emperor Xia’s aunt, but she is not the ruler of Daxia. If she offers her opinion on today’s matter and Emperor Xia follows it, nothing might happen now, but who can guarantee Emperor Xia won’t take it seriously in the future?

As the ruler of Daxia, if Emperor Xia wants to make life difficult for the Eldest Princess, it’s all too simple.

After all, the Eldest Princess is not alone; she has children, grandchildren, granddaughters, and great-grandchildren, their futures are largely tied to the Eldest Princess’s favor.

If Emperor Xia wants to settle accounts, the means are more than aplenty.

"Aunt, if I go and apologize to Mr. Ying now, is there still time?"

"I don’t know!"

The Eldest Princess shook her head, "But if Your Majesty truly wishes to apologize, I will spare no effort to help Your Majesty gain Mr. Ying’s forgiveness."

"And there’s the matter of Princess Jiafu!"

"What should I do then?"

"Your Majesty can think about it carefully!"

The Eldest Princess knew that she had said all that she should say.

The remaining matters, the decisions to be made, were not for her to meddle in.

As the Eldest Princess, she still had to be mindful of her boundaries.

Soon, the Eldest Princess left the palace.

Shortly after the Eldest Princess left the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Xia summoned Yin Wuji, the Director of the Sound Listening Bureau.

"Minister, I greet Your Majesty!"

"No need for formalities, rise and speak!"

Seeing Yin Wuji, Emperor Xia’s expression improved somewhat.

"I wonder what instructions Your Majesty has for summoning me?"

Yin Wuji knew the Eldest Princess had entered the palace, but didn’t know why. However, given that Emperor Xia summoned him so quickly, it seemed there were instructions to follow.

"Have you prepared the herbs I asked you to?"

"In response to Your Majesty, they are ready. According to your instructions, they have already been used on the Wei Family!"

"Good, very good!"

Hearing Yin Wuji’s response, Emperor Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had made two plans.

One plan was to directly eliminate the Wei Family, but looking at the current situation, that approach was obviously not feasible.

Now, he could only resort to the second plan.

The herbs he had Yin Wuji prepare were gathered from a small barbarian country in the southwest of Daxia, and though they wouldn’t directly kill, they would cause addiction.

Once someone became addicted to this herb, they would become emaciated over time. If the supply were ever cut off, the person would lose all reason, as if mad.

Since he could not personally destroy the Wei Family, he decided to let the Wei Family destroy themselves instead!

"Great, I always knew you could solve problems for me!"

Emperor Xia was very pleased.

"There’s one more thing, Wei Wushang and Princess Jiafu have also returned to the Capital, possibly hiding now in the Eldest Princess’s residence."

"I give you the task to find a way to use these herbs on them too!"

"Minister, shall obey!"

Yin Wuji responded in a deep voice.

It seemed difficult, but it was not hard at all.

Once the whereabouts of Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao were confirmed, it was entirely possible to grind the herbs into powder and add it into their meals.

Only after some time, when the drug took effect, would the two of them never be able to escape its control!

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Just as Emperor Xia was instructing Yin Wuji, Chen Lian suddenly rushed into the Imperial Study Room in a flurry.

"What happened?"

"Didn’t I tell you? Stay calm no matter what happens!"

Emperor Xia had high hopes for Chen Lian.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Prison has been breached, and the Wei Family has been rescued!"

Chen Lian urgently explained the reason for his hasty intrusion.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Chen Lian’s report, Emperor Xia could no longer remain seated, and his previous semblance of calmness escaped him.

"Speak, what on earth happened?"

"Who did it?"

"What was the imperial guard doing?"
