Chapter 1,603
It can be said that Xiao Lintian did the Zhao family a favor this time by punishing Concubine Shao to go to the Ancestral Temple to recite sutras and pray for the Empress Dowager.
But Ling Yu smelled something unusual from it.
If King Kang wants to achieve great things, it will be useful for Concubine Shao to stay in the palace.
Zhao Ruirui paid no attention to this!
Unless she had no ambition for King Kang to become emperor, why did she ignore what happened to Princess Shao?
There is only one possibility. Zhao Ruirui doesn't like Concubine Shao's methods and wants to directly control Zhao Hui and his party.
Seeing how loyal King Kang is to Zhao Ruirui, it proves that Zhao Ruirui has two brushes to conquer people's hearts!
Coupled with the fact that Zhao Zhenzhen was innocently implicated and killed last time, Ling Yu guessed that the Zhao family was already half-hearted about King Kang.
There is nothing more reliable than holding your own destiny in the palm of your hand!
Now King Kang has reversed his previous role. He is no longer the one giving orders, but just a puppet!
A puppet used by Zhao Ruirui to gain power for the Zhao family.
This Zhao Ruirui wants to be the queen!
This kind of speculation is unbelievable to Xiao Lintian and others, but Ling Yu is familiar with history. Wu Zetian could be the queen back then, why can't Zhao Ruirui!
Bi Haifeng's people have found out some of Zhao Ruirui's history. She was smart since she was a child. She was sent out by Zhao Hui to study with a famous teacher and was good at literature and martial arts.
Obviously Zhao Hui has high hopes for this daughter.
Compared with King Kang proclaiming himself emperor, Zhao Hui had to obey his orders.
With his own daughter becoming the emperor, wouldn't Zhao Hui be in a better position?
By then he might even be able to become the Supreme Emperor!
Ling Yu has dealt with Zhao Hui several times. This Zhao Hui is not an ignorant person. He has climbed to where he is today entirely by relying on his own intelligence.
Zhao Hui is not as pedantic as other veterans. He can accept new things and learn from each other's strengths...
Ling Yu thought about Zhao Hui's character, and suddenly thought of the purpose of Zhao Hui's mission this time, and her heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Lintian sent Zhao Hui out to inspect Panguo's cooperation with other small countries in raising dairy cows, but can Zhao Hui be willing to be driven by Xiao Lintian?
Will he wreak havoc from it?
She couldn't hold back such speculation, so she mentioned it to Xiao Lintian.
Xiao Lintian's eyes were solemn, he was silent for a while and then said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, I have been worried about this matter for the past two days... I may have done something wrong!"
Ling Yu thought he was referring to sending Zhao Hui as an envoy, so he comforted him: "I just thought of this possibility, it doesn't mean he will actually do it!"
"After all, being able to complete the tasks assigned by you will only increase Zhao Hui's reputation. If he messes up, wouldn't that prove his incompetence?"
Xiao Lintian shook his head and stopped talking.
Ling Yu was very surprised when she saw it. Xiao Lintian was not such a coy person. There was something he couldn't tell her!
"Ayu...I...I really did something wrong!"
Xiao Lintian blushed when Ling Yu stared at him, but he still said it cruelly: "Do you still remember Hu Yanxue from Gangu Kingdom?"
"Remember!"
Hu Yanxue came to court to seek medical treatment for his father, but he was aggressive towards Ling Yu and was scolded by Ling Yu.
Xiao Lintian was even more furious and immediately ordered Hu Yanxue to take people out of the imperial capital that day. From then on, Western Qin no longer protected Gangu Kingdom!
Hu Yanxue was so angry that she broke her head, which led to a series of incidents later in which Zhao Ruirui used this incident to tarnish Ling Yu's reputation.
A small country with a small area should not pose a threat.
Ling Yu was still a little disapproving when she heard Xiao Lintian's words.
"I was angry that she was rude to you and framed you for being such a cruel person. I didn't want her to return to Gangu alive, so I sent people to catch up with her and wanted to cause an accident and kill her..."
