Emperor Zhang Hou Tian saw his wife standing at the start of the stairs and nodded in her direction. She was the daughter of the noble families in Zhang Xu Kingdom and her father bet on the third prince, Prince Zhang Hou Tian.
Now, it seemed that the bet had paid off.
Even though she was so excited, she tried her best to maintain dignified expression as she walked to the top and stood beside Emperor Zhang Hou Tian.
From now, the two of them would stand at the highest in Zhang Xu Kingdom.
…
The palace was in turmoil.
Now that the third prince had already ascended and selected as the next Emperor, they knew that they had lost. No matter what they did, they would never be able to truly become the Emperor and become the one who was powerful.
All they could do was to wait for either death or exile.
*sigh*
Some people had given up directly and some others who had higher ambition couldn't accept this change easily. They didn't want to just serve others.
In a certain small palace, a woman was listening to her servants telling her about the change of the Emperor.
"I will soon change my title to a deposed concubine huh?" Imperial Concubine Yue, who used to be Princess Yue, didn't seem to think that it was strange at all. She had seen the time when her grandfather passed away and the time when her father also passed away.
During those two times, there were a large shift in the Imperial Palace.
And these Imperial Concubines who didn't have children were not even worthy of the title Empress Dowager.
They would be deposed to either the cold palace, temple, or even the grave.
Imperial Concubine Yue had long known that this would be her ending, so she was prepared. She was still young and had a long life ahead, so she definitely couldn't accept this kind of ending.
"Madam…"
"Isn't it perfect for me to make my move?" Imperial Concubine Yue chuckled, ruthless light flickered within her eyes.
Born in the Imperial Family, Imperial Concubine Yue was already exposed to these schemes and their hard means ever since she was young. She had long gotten used to the way of the world that was so unfair to her.
If she wanted to survive, she had to rely on herself.
"Well, even if I'm hated by many people, I can't abandon this life." Imperial Concubine Yue could sneak out and passed out some news, but it was definitely not much. She would not do anything that could severely threaten her position in the Imperial Palace.
Now that the Emperor had changed…
It was time for her to start arranging her position again.
…
The news of Zhang Xu Kingdom changing Emperor was spread in a matter of moments. When an Emperor passed away, there will be the announcement, which told everyone that the Emperor had changed.
Everyone in Zhang Xu Kingdom was nervous.
They knew that even if the Emperor promised that they would not change, it was impossible for things not to change completely. And the one that suffered the most was usually the peasant.
They knew very well that the tax was controlled by the Imperial Family.
When the war had started, the tax would definitely increase because there were a lot of food needed to support the soldiers. Now that the third prince had ascended the throne, they didn't know whether it was a good thing or not.
All these people wanted was to live well.
"I didn't expect the third prince to be the one chosen."
"Hey, don't discuss this matter. Since it has been decided, we just need to follow the arrangement. There's no need to know so much."
"You're right."
The two farmers sighed and walked to their respective fields. The matter of the nation was too far away from them. For them, it was good enough if they could pay tax safely and earned enough grains for them to eat.
At the side, a 'young' man was sitting. He was dressed in light green clothes. At the same time, the thick smell of herbs could be smelled from him.
He was holding a bottle of medicinal wine. "Master, it seems that Zhang Xu Kingdom is not safe too. Do you want to consider moving again?"
"What move?" Traveling Doctor Liu snorted. It was not easy for him to bypass the border towards Zhang Xu Kingdom, ok?
He could only do that by making use of the chaos because of the war and so on. Since it was quite difficult for him to enter Zhang Xu Kingdom, Traveling Doctor Liu had no interest in moving again.
Anyway, his second disciple was living not far from here.
He could just play by her side when he was bored. There was no need to head over to other kingdoms, especially to the areas where his tenth disciple was located. That damn brat had been causing enough troubles for him that Traveling Doctor Liu was tempted to revoke his discipleship qualification from that brat.
"Then…"
"Just stay here. This village is quite good."
Shan Yu looked at his master and sighed deeply. Whatever Traveling Doctor Liu decided, he could only follow along.
Looking at the fields in front of him, he felt that he had become a farmer.
His master is truly peculiar.
…
The short dinner between Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua ended. The two of them walked out while their servant settled the bill. They didn't really care who paid either way because the two of them didn't lack money at all.
It was up to the two servants to decide that.
Lou looked at Chu Yue and Chu Yue also stared back at Lou.
"Rock, paper, scissor?"
"…Ok."
…
History Corner:
Rock, paper, and scissor might sound like a modern game, but it had existed ever since Han Dynasty. A historian writer from Ming Dynasty Xie Zhaozhi mentioned in the book that the game dated back to the time since 206 BC to 220 AD, the time of Han Dynasty. In the book, the game was called shoushiling and there were actually several other names that's associated with this game but it's noted in different book.
