"Your Majesty could pretend to secretly arrange for Princess Ying to serve as an envoy in male disguise, while at the same time having someone secretly leak this information to Anguo!" Wei Tingyu saw that Xiao Yan wasn't speaking now, but her eyes were darting around, a clear sign that the young woman was thinking of another countermeasure. So he simply spoke directly, "Wouldn't that make the plan foolproof?"
"You would use Anguo's hand to eliminate Emperor Wu and Princess Ying, while also holding King Danyang responsible for this matter!"
"From then on, the court of Wuguo would be yours to command, Your Majesty!"
"A few months later, you could produce a child from somewhere, pretend it's your own, and naturally you could deceive everyone and secure your position as the Regent Empress Dowager!"
As Wei Tingyu's words became more and more direct, Xiao Yan resignedly closed her eyes. At this moment, she knew that any further attempts at sophistry would be meaningless! Because Wei Tingyu was completely correct, his words were exactly the same as her previous scheme! When she raised her head to look at Wei Tingyu now, her eyes even showed signs of doubt and a little panic!
Because she had been plotting this matter for a long time, she absolutely did not believe that Wei Tingyu could have found out about it through some means! Moreover, the people around her were loyal and would never betray her! Then there was only one possible explanation! It was that even though this Marquis of Jining had only been in Wudu for a few days, he had a perfect understanding of the entire court and inner palace's situation and the people's hearts! At the same time, he also possessed an incredibly broad vision, able to see through her plan at a glance!
Xiao Yan had originally thought that her plan was flawless and was sure to succeed. But now, in front of Wei Tingyu, she felt that her schemes were not much more sophisticated than a child's game! This pressure, as if she were being dimensionally crushed, now filled Xiao Yan's mind. She quickly thought about what she should do next. Was there any way to bribe Wei Tingyu? But he had just admitted that he and Princess Ying had feelings for each other, and her plan required sacrificing Princess Ying's life to be carried out. She probably wouldn't be able to convince this lust-driven Marquis of Jining to abandon Princess Ying and stand on her side no matter what!
Wait a minute! Xiao Yan suddenly shuddered and raised her head, because a possibility had just occurred to her!
That's right! This Marquis of Jining was a lust-driven man, otherwise he wouldn't have broken into the imperial palace at night, and even been lying on top of her at the beginning! Although he had hidden it well, Xiao Yan was certain that she had seen a hint of enjoyment in his eyes at that time.
Who else in all of Wuguo could be more attractive to a man than she, the Empress? Thinking of this, Xiao Yan suddenly raised her head to look at Wei Tingyu, and seeing that he was now looking at her with a knowing gaze, she instantly understood. Indeed, men are still creatures who only think with that precious thing below! Her twenty-plus years of virginity might have been meant to save her life tonight! A man like Wei Tingyu was willing to expose her lie for a Princess Ying he had just developed some feelings for! Then what would he do for an Empress who was willing to give her twenty-plus years of virginity to him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan even felt a little excited, because she saw a huge opportunity in this matter! If she could truly pull Wei Tingyu to her side, wouldn't that be an undeniable addition of a powerful helper? The original crisis had instantly turned into an opportunity!
"The Marquis truly possesses great wisdom!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yan actually released the curtains she had wrapped around herself, revealing her sexy and beautiful inner garment. As she spoke, she gently moved her delicate body and leaned a little closer to Wei Tingyu. And Wei Tingyu watched the other party with a calm expression, watching as their thighs and arms touched.
Sure enough, this young woman Xiao Yan has finally resorted to this last move! For such a beauty throwing herself into his arms, Wei Tingyu naturally wouldn't refuse! However, he couldn't appear too lustful at the moment. Thinking this, he slowly stood up, walked a few steps forward, and with his back to Xiao Yan, he said, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
What do I mean? Don't you really understand? Xiao Yan frowned, then lightly bit her own lip with a hint of resentment. She naturally understood that Wei Tingyu was still testing her, wanting to see if she was sincere.
"Marquis, you didn't just break into the imperial palace late at night just to expose me, did you?!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yan also slowly rose, then gracefully walked forward, and then actually gently leaned against Wei Tingyu's back. A pair of jade-like arms also reached out from his sides and wrapped around his broad chest.
Feeling the softness and warmth coming from behind him, Wei Tingyu's heart suddenly began to feel a little wild! After all, this was the Empress of Da Wu! And she was so proactively throwing herself into his arms? This feeling of taboo and excitement made it impossible for him to remain indifferent! But although his heart was itching, having gone through the experience with so many strong-willed heroines and beauties in his residence, Wei Tingyu's resistance to beautiful women was naturally much stronger than that of an ordinary man! Thinking of this, he gently reached out and moved Xiao Yan's arms away from him, then slowly turned around and embraced her.
Xiao Yan was originally surprised to be rejected by Wei Tingyu, but it wasn't until the other party turned around and looked at her that she realized this plan had at least succeeded halfway. However, although there was also lust in Wei Tingyu's eyes, it was clearly controllable! Therefore, to be completely successful, she would have to redouble her efforts!
Empress Xiao Yan's pride at this moment was completely cast aside! Although she was also angry that her current status was so noble, she still had to proactively show favor to Wei Tingyu time and time again, and only then did he seem reluctantly willing to have some contact with her. This intense contrast and sense of humiliation, while making Xiao Yan angry, also gave her a strange, indefinable sense of conquered pleasure! The reason she had such great ambition was simply because she looked down on all men in the world! But now that such a being, whom she had to look up to, had appeared before her, Xiao Yan, as a woman, could not prevent her soft side from appearing!
"There's also me in the Marquis's eyes!" Xiao Yan blinked her seductive eyes, looked at Wei Tingyu, and said with a smile. At the same time, she gently stood on her tiptoes and proactively offered her pretty face to him!
"If the Marquis is finding it difficult to hold back, then there is no need to hold back anymore!" The gentle and delicate words, coupled with the warm, fragrant breath on his face, caused Wei Tingyu's heartbeat to quicken slightly. To have such a vixen so obediently submit in his arms, this feeling was indeed incomparably wonderful! However, Wei Tingyu was also very clear that a vixen's flattery absolutely had its own purpose! Thinking this, he looked directly into Xiao Yan's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty is willing to make such a great sacrifice; do you have any requests?"
"Heh heh!" Xiao Yan immediately laughed upon hearing this. She thought to herself, it's finally come to this. Of course she had a request!
"Princess Ying is just an ignorant young girl! A man like the Marquis only has feelings for her out of pity!"
"But if the Marquis is willing to help me, then everything I have... including this person, will belong to the Marquis!"
"From now on, the court of Da Wu will be our world!"
Seeing that the time was right, Xiao Yan naturally no longer concealed her intentions and directly laid out her purpose and conditions for alliance. Of course, the conditions she offered were also very tempting. Besides herself, the Empress, she was also willing to share the entire world of Da Wu with Wei Tingyu! You have to admit! This kind of condition is a temptation that is hard to refuse for both a lustful person and an ambitious person!
"Such conditions... It is indeed very difficult for this Marquis to refuse!" However, Wei Tingyu was not an ordinary ambitious schemer, nor could he be a scoundrel who would be so consumed by lust that he would disregard everything! He smiled at Xiao Yan, then wrapped his arms more tightly around the beauty's waist, and at the same time, he asked, "Since we are to share this court, then who will be the master and who will be the subordinate?"
Xiao Yan had originally seen that the lust in Wei Tingyu's eyes was getting stronger, and her slender waist was even being held more tightly by him. She felt that he was almost trying to melt her body into his, and she was happy for a while, because this meant that her seduction plan had already succeeded for the most part! However, Wei Tingyu's next words instantly stunned Xiao Yan.
The so-called 'sharing the court'... could not possibly mean two monarchs ruling together! As a foreign subject, how could Wei Tingyu openly appear in the court of Wuguo and manage state affairs?
"After it's done, I will be the Empress Dowager and oversee the court!" Xiao Yan's eyes darted, then she said, "The Marquis will be the most important partner to me!"
"Although the Marquis cannot ascend to the court of Da Wu, we can discuss everything together!"
Wei Tingyu laughed even harder upon hearing Xiao Yan's words! This young woman was completely using him! Her meaning seemed to be that she wanted to keep him in the palace like a canary, becoming her plaything? Wei Tingyu was certainly not willing to become the likes of Lao Ai! Besides, that guy didn't have a good end, and it would be bad luck to even compare himself to him! That guy had no other skills besides being able to carry a carriage wheel between his legs, so he could only rely on pleasing the Empress Dowager to seize power. But why would he need to do such a lowly thing?
"Your Majesty is joking!" Wei Tingyu chuckled upon hearing Xiao Yan's words and said, "This Marquis is a foreign subject and cannot stay in your Wuguo forever; I will have to return to the Central Plains sooner or later!"
"At that time... wouldn't this Wuguo belong to Your Majesty alone?"
"..." Xiao Yan's eyes darted again upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, and then she smiled and said, "Is the Marquis worried that everything you've built here will disappear once you leave?"
"That is not difficult!"
"If the Marquis can make me pregnant... then won't this world of Da Wu still belong to the Marquis's family?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Wei Tingyu was taken aback. He looked at her again, and there was no hint of a joke in her eyes! Good heavens! This truly is a crazy woman! To be able to seize power, she would do anything! She was even willing to bear his child and then replace the heir to usurp the throne of Wuguo!
Of course, Wei Tingyu was not an amateur who would be so easily moved by these few empty words. Moreover, having a child was not a necessary option for Wei Tingyu at all. With the system's blessing, he would naturally share eternal life with his powerful heroine wives in the future! For a monarch with unlimited lifespan, an heir was not that important! It even seemed a bit superfluous! It's not that he couldn't have one, but there was no need! This was also the reason why none of the wives and concubines in his residence had conceived a child yet!
"Alright!" Of course, Wei Tingyu could not say these things to Xiao Yan. Since this woman had decided to rely on him to take over the court of Wuguo, he would simply act as if he was cooperating with her. There was no reason not to take a bite out of a piece of fat meat that had been delivered to his mouth!
Thinking this, Wei Tingyu no longer hesitated. He released Xiao Yan's waist, then bent down and lifted her into his arms. Xiao Yan was startled. By the time she reacted, she was already being carried by Wei Tingyu to the side of the bed and was slowly placed on it. This day has finally come! Xiao Yan sighed in her heart, then directly closed her eyes! She had developed this uncontrollable political ambition precisely because she looked down on, and even despised, men.
For a long time, she disdained to fight for favor with the other concubines in the palace and even maintained a safe distance from Emperor Wu. Xiao Yan had even, in a seemingly unintentional way, hinted to Emperor Wu that she admired men who could establish great achievements. And Emperor Wu was no match for Xiao Yan! From his initial aversion to this political marriage to his heart being completely captured by this Empress who was distant to him! Emperor Wu had even gone on this personal military campaign in order to win Xiao Yan's heart and eventually have her willingly offer her body to him.
However, Emperor Wu still didn't know that his difficult fate until now was all thanks to this Empress in the palace! But Xiao Yan felt no guilt towards Emperor Wu. In her opinion, such a useless man, even if he held a high position, was not worth pitying and certainly not worth a single tear!
However, no matter what had happened before, at this moment, she, this proud woman, still had to use her body to please a man! Just as Xiao Yan thought this, she felt the light in front of her darken, and then her cherry lips were covered by a pair of larger lips. Kissing was also a first for her in her life. Feeling Wei Tingyu's advances, she could only respond awkwardly. But for the naturally alluring Xiao Yan, learning this was very fast indeed! In no time, she was proactively intertwining with Wei Tingyu!
...
"Marquis!" After the storm passed, Xiao Yan, utterly exhausted, rested her jade-like arm on Wei Tingyu's chest. At this moment, the sky outside the window had already begun to lighten, and it was almost dawn! She had never in her wildest dreams imagined that a man could go on for such a long time without a word! Of course, the small amount of blood on her inner garment was the first time in Xiao Yan's life that her face showed a shy expression like that of a young girl!
"What is it, Empress?" Wei Tingyu heard her low murmur, and holding her shoulder, which was as warm as jade, he asked with a smile. It was quite a thrill to address her as 'Empress' at this moment.
"Marquis, please don't call me 'Empress' anymore!" Xiao Yan was first startled upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, then she smiled and said, "From now on, when we are alone, please use my personal name, Yan'er!"
"Yan'er?" Wei Tingyu was taken aback, then he nodded, "A beautiful name! It suits you perfectly!"
"The Marquis is now Yan'er's lang jun!" Xiao Yan smiled like a blooming flower upon hearing that Wei Tingyu had agreed to this request. She tilted her head, kissed him heavily on the cheek, and then said, "Then you must help Yan'er from now on!"
I knew it, all of this was just to use me! Wei Tingyu understood this in his heart upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, but he didn't care too much about it, as he had naturally anticipated Xiao Yan's personality long ago. This woman, who was filled with ambition, would absolutely not be obedient after just one night, nor would she be willing to wash her hands of everything and return to his residence with him! It would definitely take some time and effort!
"Alright!" Of course, Wei Tingyu was never afraid of trouble when it came to romancing women. No matter how resolute this young woman Xiao Yan was about being a powerful woman, he would eventually turn her into a gentle woman by his side! So he nodded and agreed without a second thought.
"Yan'er knew it! The Marquis is the best to me!" Xiao Yan's face broke into an even bigger smile upon hearing Wei Tingyu's direct agreement.
"So, specifically, how do you want me to help you?" Of course, Wei Tingyu immediately asked the most crucial question. Now that Xiao Yan was offering her body and emotional value, he naturally had to offer something in return.
