Chapter 357 - 357 Requesting an audience



These days, when the emperor heard about Peach Blossom Street, he almost couldn’t stop smiling.

Ning Yue was really a genius at doing business! Back then, it was really right for him to leave the business matters to Ning Yue.

A few days ago, when Ning Yue replaced the people in one of the shops, the emperor thought that she wanted to plant spies.

Not long after, Ning Yue got someone to tell him to send someone to the new shops himself.

The emperor knew very well that these new people would not be as lazy as before because of what had happened.

After the emperor’s choice, all the candidates were finally filled.

It was also because of Ning Yue’s management that Peach Blossom Street became prosperous.

Five days passed in a row, but Ning Yue still did not receive any news that the emperor had released Jiang Ying.

She had once secretly gone to see Baili. Baili said that Jiang Ying ate, drank, and lived well inside, so there was no danger.

However, this wouldn’t do. It couldn’t be that if the mastermind wouldn’t come out for ten years, Jiang Ying would have to stay inside for ten years, right?

At the thought of this, Ning Yue simply entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager.

“Yueyue? Why are you here?” The empress dowager looked at Ning Yue in surprise.

After asking, the empress dowager looked behind Ning Yue and did not see Xiaobao and Xiaobei. She looked disappointed.

Ning Yue pretended not to see the Empress Dowager’s disappointment and said anxiously to her, “Imperial Grandmother, the emperor has imprisoned Jiang Ying.”

“What?” The empress dowager stood up. The emperor had actually thrown her grandson into prison, and she, the empress dowager of the country, had no idea at all!

“Wait here. I’ll go see the emperor now!” With that, the Empress Dowager rushed towards the emperor’s bedchamber.

Ning Yue looked at the empress dowager’s back in shock, feeling that she had done something wrong.

Her original intention was to complain to the Empress Dowager about the emperor, but before she could finish speaking, the Empress Dowager ran to look for the emperor.

Would the empress disrupt the emperor’s plan?

Originally, the emperor was discussing with a few ministers about attacking the Black City Kingdom, but he did not expect the Empress Dowager to suddenly barge in.

“Get out, the few of you. I have something to tell the emperor,” the Empress Dowager said angrily.

Seeing the Empress Dowager’s angry expression, the ministers did not dare to stay in the meeting hall any longer. They stood up and left.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the emperor was about to ask the empress dowager what had happened. But before he could ask, the empress dowager scolded him.

“Emperor, what’s wrong with you? Why did you lock Jiang Ying up in jail? He’s your nephew. Why do you have to lock him up like this? Don’t tell me it’s because of the assassination not long ago. This is a conspiracy against Prince Jin and you! How can you lock Jiang Ying up? Aren’t you letting the mastermind do as he pleases? What the mastermind wants to see the most is the internal strife between the two of you.”

The empress dowager’s words stunned the emperor.

At the end of her speech, the empress dowager was panting. She had just left in a hurry, and now she had said so much. She was tired.

Seeing this, the emperor coughed lightly and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager. “Mother, calm down. Drink the tea first. We’ll talk about this later.”

The empress dowager drank her tea and calmed down for a while. Finally, she was not so tired. “Tell me.”

“Of course I know that this is a plot. I can even distrust the entire world, but I definitely won’t distrust Prince Jin’s Residence!” the emperor said.

He knew very well how his throne came about. With Jiang Huan’s aptitude, if he wanted to be the emperor, it would definitely not be his turn.

“Then why did you lock Jiang Ying up?” the empress dowager asked with a frown.

“We’ve discussed it. We’re just putting on a show. We’ll release Jiang Ying in a few days.” The emperor told the Empress Dowager his plan.

After the emperor repeatedly guaranteed that nothing would happen to Jiang Ying in the heavenly prison, the Empress Dowager finally let it go.

Just as the Empress Dowager left her bedroom, a eunuch came to look for Ning Yue.

“Princess Mingyue, my master requests an audience,” the eunuch said respectfully to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue did not know anyone in the palace. This eunuch in front of her looked like the emperor’s subordinate.
