Chapter 211 Conspiracy
Ling Jue curled his lips: "I came back to seize Ling Xiao's kingdom."
"Okay, uncle will definitely help you."
The Duke breathed a sigh of relief; this was exactly what he had been waiting for Ling Jue to say.
Ling Jue bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you, uncle. After the matter is done, Jue'er will definitely not treat you unfairly. I won't be like some people who would abandon you after you have done your job."
The Duke waved his hand and said, "If Jue'er succeeds, then Uncle will retire."
The Duke is not so stupid as to believe everything Ling Jue says. If he believed it, his Duke's Mansion would have collapsed long ago.
The reason why his Duke's Mansion has no name is that he is smart and knows how to judge the situation and retreat at the right time, so he was able to protect himself when Ling Jue's grandfather rebelled.
However, he was still implicated and his title was revoked, leaving only the shell of a Duke's Mansion without any power.
Now all he wanted was to vent his hatred and bring Ling Xiao down. As for who would be the emperor, he didn't care at all.
If he cared who became emperor, he wouldn't have gone to find Li Yuzhu.
He could tolerate a woman being the emperor, so why couldn't he tolerate Ling Jue being the emperor?
After all, he is his sister's grandson.
Ling Jue thought the Duke was just being modest, and he assured him again and again, then he said, "Uncle, did you know that Ling Xiao is making something called a bomb?"
"Of course my uncle knows."
It was because of this knowledge that Li Yuzhu did not act rashly.
Li Yuzhu only found out about this later, as she had previously believed that it was impossible to make a bomb here.
That bomb seems to be like a firecracker.
Later, after listening to what the Duke said, she sent people to investigate and found out that Ling Xiao had really made the bomb.
And the power was no less than that of her bomb, so she put the matter aside and made further plans after she gave birth to the child.
The fact that Ling Xiao can make a bomb means that there are people like her around Ling Xiao. Was there only the bomb at that time?
It's better to be cautious, Li Yuzhu values her life very much.
"Can uncle get it?" Ling Jue asked.
Lord Jia had already unsealed nearly a hundred bombs, but that bastard Ling Xiao went crazy and went to Beizhou in disguise, causing his plan to fail.
Then let’s get it from his Ministry of Industry.
The Duke thought for a moment and said, “This uncle can’t do that, but Ling Xiao is not the only one making this kind of bomb, there is another person who can also make this kind of bomb, and it is equally powerful.
But her goal is the same as Jue'er's. It is basically impossible to get the big bomb from her."
"Oh? Who is that person? Does Uncle know who she is?"
Ling Jue suddenly became interested. He had seen the power of the bomb before. Even a person with high martial arts skills could not be a match for the bomb.
It’s interesting that there is actually someone who could create that bomb and even rebel against Ling Xiao.
"My uncle doesn't know who she is either. He only knows that she is a woman, but she is indeed quite capable."
The Duke really admires Li Yuzhu's abilities. As a woman, she can do things that men cannot do, and she even dares to rebel against Ling Xiao and wants to become the empress.
I was so impressed that I fell into admiration.
"Can you take me to see her, uncle?"
"You want to see?"
Ling Jue nodded: "I am very interested in the woman that my uncle mentioned. If possible, I would like to join forces with her."
The Duke advised: "Uncle thinks you can meet her, but I think it is unnecessary and impossible to join forces with her." "Why?"
Ling Jue was puzzled. According to the Duke, she could make bombs, but she had not rebelled until now, which meant that her strength was not enough.
If the two of them join forces, they will definitely be able to take down Ling Xiao. Why wouldn't she do such a thing?
The Duke looked at him. It was normal for the boy to ask this question since he didn't know the woman. It wasn't that he was stupid.
He explained: "Although the woman is a woman, she has high ambitions. She wants to be the empress. Although she didn't say it directly, my uncle can still feel it."
"Empress? No way?"
Ling Jue was very surprised. This society had many restrictions on women, and showing up in public would be despised by the world. It was really ridiculous that there were women who wanted to be empresses.
Or maybe that woman is crazy.
The Duke: "What can't she do? Her ability is no less than any man's. Her ability is beyond the reach of men like us. Doesn't such a woman have ambition?"
Ling Jue nodded, a calculating look flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Uncle, please tell me in detail about this woman."
"You're thinking?"
The Duke immediately understood what Ling Xiao meant. He was planning to take advantage of that woman.
Ling Jue did not hide it from him: "Yes, such a woman must be used by me."
"You don't mind that he has a child?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows: "People who accomplish great things don't care about trivial matters."
He didn't believe that he couldn't win a woman with his looks and the fact that he was not married.
As long as he can capture that woman and help him achieve his ambition, there will be many women in his harem.
This woman will be placed in the harem when the time comes. One more or one less won’t make much difference.
But if she wants to compete with him for that position, then there's no need to keep her.
That position can only belong to him, and anyone who wants to snatch that position from him is his enemy.
"Okay, then I'll ask her if she wants to see you. If she does, I'll take you to see her."
The Duke felt that what Ling Jue said made sense. As a woman, her job was to take care of her husband and children at home. If she had the ability to assist her husband, there was no need for her to show up in public. She even wanted to be an empress, and wasn't she afraid of being scolded to death by people in the court?
Those old stubborn people in the Censorate drowned her with their saliva every day.
If Ling Jue could really capture that woman, it would be possible. Then there would be no need to worry about the failure of Ling Jue's ambition.
The two conspired for a long time, and it was not until the evening that Ling Jue quietly left.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and today was the mountain-washing banquet for the third prince born to Ji Chuxue.
Ling Xiao didn't come back, so An Yi and the others definitely wouldn't give him a big treat, so they just gave him a token of their appreciation.
However, during the third prince's bathing banquet, all the concubines in the harem were invited to the Taihe Palace to celebrate for the third prince.
But the fake Ling Xiao was in a miserable situation. The concubines took every opportunity to stick to him, and each of them wished that he would favor them right now. The fake Ling Xiao was so scared that he fled in embarrassment.
However, all the concubines were puzzled when they saw him like this.
No matter how lonely Ling Xiao was in the past, it would never be to this extent. At least he would go to the harem every now and then.
However, it has been more than a month now, and he has not asked his concubines to sleep with him, let alone set foot in the harem.
Everyone was very surprised.
At this time, a concubine came to Yun Yunrou and asked quietly: "Empress Rou, don't you think the emperor has been a little strange recently?"
