Chapter 89

I was so mad that I laughed, “So let’s just mind our own business and be careful . It is fine that we don’t live an ideal life, as long as we are still alive!”

Then I stood up to leave .

Yang Yu grew anxious and stopped me immediately,” Your Majesty…”

I turned around to look at them, then I scorned, “If both of you think I am right, why bother meeting me?”

Yang Yu frowned but he didn’t know what to say . His eyes shifted between me and Bathroom Lord .

Bathroom Lord sat there and stared silently at me for a while, then suddenly he spoke, “General Yang, please leave us some space . I have a few words to tell Her Majesty . ”

Yang Yu nodded and shot a glance towards me, then stood up and exited the room .

Then I was left alone with Bathroom Lord . He lowered his head to pour himself some more tea, then gently asked, “Do you remember what I told you over the Wan River?”

I was taken aback . He had told me quite a lot over the Wan River and promised me safety and sufficient supply for provisions and clothing . Now he suddenly brought it up, I couldn’t decide what he was referring to .

He looked at me and said slowly, “I will always stick to my promise . ”

I was a little surprised and suddenly reminded of what happened when I fell into the water . He took my hand, looked straight into my eyes, and muttered the promise . Then he let go of the rail of the ship, fell into the river with me and in the meanwhile protected me .

Wan River Jiuqu Gorge was famous for its numerous river bends, beaches and fierce water . There were submerged rocks everywhere and you were surrounded by dangers .

That night, I clung to him and shielded each other from the submerged rocks with our own body . After a night of floating and struggling, we finally made it .

I nodded, “Yes, I remember . ”

Bathroom Lord looked at me and continued, “Now I am asking you . You’ve told me something in Xing Sheng Palace, does your words still count?

I fell silent and after a long while, I answered, “It counts . ”

“Good . ” Bathroom Lord seemed to be relieved and a faint smile appeared on his face . “He’s so nice to you recently, so I’m afraid you would lose your mind . ”

I subconsciously touched the tip of my nose, and said guiltily, “People say that indulgence digs a grave for heroes . But actually, it doesn’t just work for heroes . ”

Bathroom Lord was relaxed and he smiled .

I turned and sat back at the table . I tended to have an honest conversation with him so I asked straightforwardly, “What indeed are you planning to do? What do you need me for?

Bathroom Lord looked calm and he silently shot a few glances towards me, “I don’t have enough power, and in the meantime, he is the Emperor, so I don’t stand a chance competing with him directly . We have to take some risks . Sooner or later, he’ll attack the Northern Desert . Judging from his character, he may lead the army by himself . I will send some death warriors there to keep him in Jiangbei forever . Then you’ll show his imperial edict, and ascend the young prince to the crown . ”

He talked slowly, with a relaxing tone . Though he was talking about a major conspiracy involving regicide and rebellion, it seemed he was talking about preparing some more dishes tonight as everyone had an exhausting day climbing the mountain or reminding people to put on some extra clothes as it was going to rain tomorrow .

I listened to him attentively and contemplated on every single word he said . Then in the spirit of doubt, I asked him four questions, which could be concluded into four “wheres”:

First, where are you when Qi Sheng leads his army to the Northern Desert? Are you still alive? Will you still have power? Second, where are the death warriors you are talking about? Are you sure they can kill him in one shot? Third, where is the imperial edict I should be holding at that time? Is it legitimate? Forth, which is also the most critical part of this plan, where is the young prince?

Bathroom Lord explained to me one by one, “If I stoop to comprise and do everything he asks me to do, he won’t kill me . As long as I’m still alive, there will be someone I can trust and make use of . You don’t have to worry about death warriors . Since I’ve told you about the plan, I’ve already made arrangements . As for imperial edict, it doesn’t matter whether he’ll leave one behind, I will have a flawless one prepared for you . And the final part, whether you’ll have a young prince to ascend to the throne depends on Your Majesty . ”

So much plans were made and finally it still depended on whether Qi Sheng would have a son . Gosh! I am so under pressure!

I thought for a while and smiled tentatively, “We don’t know if we’ll have a young prince . But since you can kill Qi Sheng, why don’t you be the emperor yourself?”

Bathroom Lord slowly shook his head and his eyes looked clear, “I am not legitimate to the throne . If I do so, the world will be left in a chaos . And, Yang Yu will still be trapped in Yunxi then, so I need the Zhang Family  to stabilize the situation in Jiangbei . Even I marry the third lady of the Zhang Family, they will not settle for an Empress, so you have to be the Empress Dowager . ”

Yes, he was talking about the truth .

I nodded, and lowered my eyes in thought . I held my palms against the table to stand up and I told him, “Okay, then we have a deal!”

Maybe my answer was too simple and it made Bathroom Lord confused . He looked at me and asked, “He treats you so nice that I thought you would have to hesitate before you give me an answer . ”

I mocked, “You are a man yourself . Don’t you know what men are like? They are not as reliable as my own son . ”

Then I stood up and left the chamber .

The little beauty Chaoyang was still waiting outside . As soon as she saw me, she dragged me towards the garden without speaking . Just as we sat ourselves in the water pavilion, her maid returned with Xie Yi .

Her maid approached Chaoyang and reported, “We didn’t bring any change with us, so we had to buy new clothes for her . Therefore, it took us quite some time, Your Highness, please forgive us . ”
