Chapter 148 She knows everything
The emperor showed great respect for her and smiled very kindly, saying, "Thank you for your compliment, Patriarch Situ." After saying that, he walked to the first seat at the top and sat down, acting like a person of high rank.
Chu Qianyu snorted inwardly, a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes, and then she found a chair and sat down. Then she looked at the emperor and said slowly, "I wonder what the emperor wants me to do in the palace?"
When the emperor saw her like this, his hands, which were hidden by his wide sleeves, clenched into fists and trembled slightly. He tried his best to suppress his inner anger, but his face did not show any sign of it.
"I wonder if Patriarch Situ knows that the Regent is about to..."
Before he finished speaking, she raised her hand to stop him and said bluntly, "I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if the emperor knows that the Queen Mother and the five elders of my clan are secretly... well... how should I put it? It's a bit unpleasant, but I still want to say it. Secretly colluding? And he helped the Queen Mother do many things, I have already found out."
"You also know that according to the Situ clan rules, no one other than the clan leader can work for the royal family without the clan leader's permission."
After saying this, she looked directly at the emperor as if waiting for his reply.
One could faintly hear the emperor's breathing becoming a little heavier.
"Patriarch Situ told me this, what do you want me to do? You also know that the Queen Mother is my mother, so I will definitely not blame my mother for this matter. Since the fifth elder is a member of your Situ clan and you have already dealt with him, why don't you give me some face. Can we just let this matter go?" said the emperor.
Chu Qianyu nodded and said, "I know that the emperor is very filial. As the head of the Situ clan, I am here to help you solve your problems. How could I cause you any trouble? So you don't have to worry about it. I have already taken care of it."
After hearing this, the emperor felt a little relieved.
"In that case, thank you for your understanding, Patriarch Situ. I asked you to come here today because..."
Chu Qianyu interrupted the emperor again and said, "But won't the emperor ask me how I handled it?"
Being disrupted twice in a row, no matter how patient the emperor was, his face darkened at this moment, and he said in a slightly impatient tone: "I wonder how Patriarch Situ handled it?"
Chu Qianyu sneered, not even looking at the emperor's angry face. Instead, she lowered her head and played with the ring on her hand, saying nonchalantly, "I hired someone to do what happened in the Queen Mother's bedroom this morning."
"You did it?" The emperor could no longer sit still after hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Chu Qianyu raised her head and said coldly, "I am clearing the obstacles for the emperor. The queen mother does not stay in the harem and spends all day trying to control the ministers of the previous dynasty and ignores the majesty of the emperor. How can I, Situ, sit back and watch? I believe the emperor will not blame me."
The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he came to his senses. The veins on his forehead were clearly visible, and he felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, but he couldn't vent it. He could only take a deep breath and said, "It is true that the Queen Mother was wrong in this matter. It's just that Patriarch Situ went a little too far."
No wonder that person could come and go freely in the palace without being noticed. This made sense. The thought of this made the emperor even more frightened. It seemed that it was urgent to subdue the Situ family. He could not tolerate anyone who could threaten his position.
"Is it over? I don't think so. But I feel like the Queen Mother has no intention of repenting."
"I will handle this matter myself, so I won't bother Patriarch Situ with any worries."
"Yeah." Chu Qianyu nodded without saying anything more.
The emperor thought she had agreed, but now he no longer had the heart to talk to her about dealing with the regent.
But I heard her ask, "What did the emperor want to tell me about the regent just now?"
The emperor glanced at her, hesitating whether to let her do this.
Chu Qianyu did not urge him, but sat down lazily and waited with a relaxed look.
Finally, he decided to give it a try, and said, "Patriarch Situ must also know that the military power of Canglan Kingdom is now divided into two parts, one in the hands of the Regent, and the other in the hands of General Chu. Now their two families are about to get married. I naturally don't want to see it. I wonder if Patriarch Situ has a way to stop them?"
Chu Qianyu then raised her head, leaned back in her chair with her hands crossed, as if she was really thinking about what the emperor said. After a moment, she said, "Personally, I know the Regent, and he has a good personal relationship with Chu Qianyu. But from your perspective, I should really help you solve this problem."
She paused for a moment. The emperor listened carefully, and his heart was lifted. If Patriarch Situ agreed, then this matter would be much simpler.
She continued, "Their marriage is indeed a big threat to you. It is not conducive to the stability of the country. I can help you deal with this matter."
When the emperor heard this, he clapped his hands, stood up with a little excitement, looked at her and said, "I knew that Patriarch Situ was very righteous. He will definitely help me deal with this matter."
"I just don't know how Patriarch Situ plans to stop them?"
Chu Qianyu looked at him, her eyes were full of coldness and depth, and her tone was emotionless as she said, "This matter is not urgent, but I am a little curious, since the emperor has already contacted the fourth elder, why doesn't he let him help you?"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the emperor's mind blank for a moment.
Did she know? So she came here today to ask for punishment? Thinking of this, the emperor looked at her again and saw that she seemed to have come out of hell. She had a strong aura and seemed to be full of murderous intent. Just sitting there, people were terrified. He felt as if his feet were filled with lead, so heavy that he couldn't move a step.
After a long while, he found his voice and said slowly: "I just have some contact with the fourth elder. It's nothing. After all, you are still the master of the Situ clan. I still have to ask for help from you, the Situ clan leader."
After saying this, I just hope that she doesn't know much. Otherwise, today might not end well.
Chu Qianyu stood up and walked straight towards the emperor. When he reached him, he stopped and looked at him and said, "When the emperor ordered the fourth elder to kill my family, did he think of this day? Do you remember what happened when the previous emperor wanted to control the Situ family?"
The emperor took a step back. He could even hear his own heartbeat, which was beating violently and even slightly painful.
It seems she knows everything.
He forced himself to calm down so that she wouldn't dare to do anything to him. After all, she was in the palace now and she shouldn't be too arrogant.
"What do you want to do? What have you done to the Fourth Elder?"
Chu Qianyu sneered and said, "The emperor is really a man of love and righteousness. In this situation, he still cares about the safety of the fourth elder. If he knew, he would surely be relieved."
"Now I think you are a little ridiculous! When you planned to kill my family and asked the Fourth Elder to poison me, did you ever think about what would happen if the plan was exposed?"
After Chu Qianyu finished saying this, she turned around and walked straight towards the dragon throne, then sat down and looked at him with interest. Her look clearly showed her attitude.
