I Have Awakened The Deduction System - Chapter 175 - 75, Possessed
Cheng’an woke up groggily and saw Lana looking at him with a shy and charming expression.
“Why is my Beloved Consort doing so early?” He asked in confusion.
The sky was still dark, and this beauty would never call him at this time.
Because of last night’s affair, he had a bit of an irritable mood after waking up.
“Your Majesty, it’s time for you to attend the MorningCcourt!” Lana hurriedly planted a kiss on Cheng’an’s face.
!!
“Morning Court?” Cheng’an was even more confused.
Lana used to tell him that there was no need to attend Morning Court. The ministers would take care of it, and he could enjoy himself in peace.
This was a true Emperor.
Yet today, she had suddenly come to persuade him to attend morning court.
Did the sun rise from the west?
“Your Majesty, have you forgotten that we agreed that I would become the Empress once Grand Tutor Liu died? When Grand Tutor Liu suddenly died in his home, the coroner claimed that he died of natural causes.” Lana hurriedly reminded him.
To avoid any more trouble, she had to become the Empress today.
“I remember now. I did promise my Beloved Consort!” Cheng’an knocked his head and recalled what he had said two days ago.
He didn’t think that Grand Tutor Liu would die.
He wasn’t as happy as he had imagined. Instead, he felt a little sad.
After all, other than Princess Changning and He Chuan, only Grand Tutor Liu was closest to him.
This teacher had taught his knowledge and the way of the Emperor.
He couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
Back then, he had impulsively agreed to Lana’s request.
“Your Majesty, do you not like me? Then this Concubine will immediately take my sisters and leave.” Lana saw that Cheng’an’s expression wasn’t good and immediately knew what he was thinking.
“What are you saying, Beloved Consort? You are the most important in This Emperor’s heart!” Cheng’an hurriedly coaxed her.
“I’m doing this for the Emperor’s sake. Every day, Grand Tutor Liu calls you a fatuous Emperor, and I’ve become a demoness. If he’s still alive, how are you going to proceed with the consort selection?” Lana continued to make an issue out of the consort selection.
Only by becoming the Empress could she carry out the follow-up plan.
If it dragged on for too long, she didn’t know if there would be any changes, so the sooner, the better.
Hearing about the consort selection, Cheng’an’s blood once again boiled if he could enjoy the entire harem at any time and place.
That was the true life of an Emperor.
“Change my clothes. This Emperor wants to go to court!” Cheng’an immediately perked up. Thinking of the consort selection was about to take place, he immediately threw Grand Tutor Liu’s death to the back of his mind.
Lana’s expression immediately turned joyful as she hurriedly called for the eight beauties from the outside world to help Cheng’an change his clothes.
The Throne Room!
The officials had finally waited for the Emperor to arrive.
Thinking that the political affairs of the past few days could finally be dealt with, a yearning for the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose in their heart because the Emperor had finally changed.
“This Emperor has decided to make Lana my Empress, and she’ll be in charge of the three palaces and six courtyards!” Cheng’an announced.
All the officials were dumbfounded.
He had thought that Cheng’an had come to deal with the piled-up political affairs, but they had not expected that he would appoint a new Empress.
Under the leadership of such an Emperor, it would be strange if he didn’t forget about the Great Zhou Dynasty.
“The wicked woman caused the disaster that befell the Great Zhou Dynasty from the heavens. Not only did His Majesty not get rid of the wicked woman, but he also made her the Empress of the world!” An old official finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
The Crown Prince’s teacher, Grand Tutor Liu, had just died. As the Emperor, he didn’t even mention reminiscing and rewarding him, and even had the mood to appoint the Empress.
Didn’t this mean that he understood how the people of the world would view Cheng’an after this day?
Moreover, it was highly possible that Grand Teacher Liu had died at Lana’s hands, but there was no evidence.
“I see you’re old and muddled, so I’ll allow you to retire and return to your hometown!” Cheng’an’s temper had also risen. This old official was a middleman, so he had not replaced him.
Now, whenever he spoke, he said the word “demoness”, which made him very unhappy.
If you don’t like it, then go home and farm. Don’t bother me here.
The old official heaved a long sigh, took off his black hat, and prepared to leave the throne room.
“Your Majesty, there are rumors in the city that Empress Lana is a demon and that all the officials are criticizing her. If your Majesty were to make her the Empress now, I’m afraid she’ll be reviled by the entire world!” Immediately, a Minister arranged by Fang Yuanqing came forward with the denunciation.
“Present it!” Cheng’an suppressed the anger in his heart and had his personal eunuch bring the denunciation over.
The more he looked, the angrier he got.
The denunciation described Lana as an unpardonable criminal and even listed down 30 of her crimes.
Even Cheng’an had become an incapable ruler.
“What a load of nonsense! Pass down my orders to immediately make Lana the new Empress. Dispatch the Imperial Guards to search every household to see who dares to badmouth the royal family behind their backs!” Cheng’an waved his sleeves and left.
Even Cheng’an’s forces couldn’t bear to watch this.
Their power was built on the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. If the Great Zhou collapsed, they would have nothing.
If they pretended not to hear the officials’ words, then wouldn’t he be an utterly fatuous ruler?
The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
…
When Princess Changning heard that Cheng’an had given Lana the title despite objections, she immediately couldn’t sit still.
This was simply nonsense.
“Looks like I’ll have to go talk to Cheng’an.” She suddenly stood up and said.
Cheng’an had actually turned a blind eye to the move that had been left behind by Grand Tutor Liu.
This was going against the entire world. No Emperor in history dared to do this.
“Sister Changning, please calm down. I think that His Majesty has been admonished by the ministers to make this wicked woman his Empress. He has probably read the denunciation. Since His Majesty is willing to do anything, he must have some resentment in his heart.” Fang liuqing hurriedly pulled on Princess Changning.
If she went now, not only would she not get the desired effect, but it would also backfire.
The siblings would probably only quarrel, and Princess Changning could not do anything to Cheng’an.
If Lana continued to whisper pillow talk, Cheng’an would probably find an opportunity to send Princess Changning out of the palace.
“Then, according to Little Sister Qing’er’s opinion, what exactly does this demoness want to do?” Princess Chang’an asked in confusion.
Lana must be plotting something behind the scenes for her to think of all sorts of ways to turn Cheng’an into this.
However, they were very careful and couldn’t find any useful information.
“On the surface, the plan is nothing more than to destroy the Great Zhou, but there is another possibility. The demoness wants to become the Empress of the Great Zhou!” Fang Liuqing analyzed.
Lana had been by Cheng’an’s side for so long. If she had used some slow-acting poison, she would have probably succeeded long ago.
Or if you want to cause the rebellion of the eight vassal lords, you can even use strong poison.
However, Lana had only charmed Cheng’an so he wouldn’t attend morning court sessions. Then, she racked her brains to become the Empress, which meant that she wanted to become the ruler of the country.
“If it’s really as Little Sister Qing ‘er said, there’s no need to be too anxious.” Princess Changning gradually calmed down.
In the early stages of the Empress’s life, Cheng’an had to be alive. She would pass down the decree through Cheng’an, and only after the entire court was under her control could she truly become the Empress.
Otherwise, it would all be for naught.
Without the support of the ministers, it was useless.
The difficult problem in front of him was how to make Lana give herself away.
“Since the wicked demoness is staying in the palace, she must have someone else to send the message. Sister Changning, you can pay attention to this. When you catch the messenger, you will naturally know the secret behind the scenes.” Fang Liuqing was indeed Fang Yuanqing’s daughter, she was very meticulous.
If she was a man, she would probably be the Prime Minister of a country.
