Novel Full Chapter 1051: The Empress’s anger
In the study of the First Princess’s palace in the imperial city.
A crash rang out as Xian Xieren threw the teacup in her hand on the floor while glaring at her aide. She was wearing a red robe that belonged to the Empress and was sitting in front of the writing desk while reading the report that was sent to her by the spy.
The more she read, the more her expression couldn’t help but distort. In the end, she couldn’t stop herself and threw the report at the face of her trusted aide.
” Are you all useless as the dried-up corpse in the chambers? You cannot even find a single woman?” Xian Xieren roared at her trusted aide feeling a murderous intent surge in her heart. If not for the fact that the court was unstable and she did not have much-trusted aides, she would have killed this minister.
“It is one thing that you cannot find my sister but how is it possible that you cannot even find the woman who is behind the rice bran oil mill?”
” How can an idiot like Li Yan be capable enough to open the rice bran mill? If she was this capable then she would have done something like this in the Imperial City but she did not which means that she is not the owner of the rice bran mill! Clearly, she coaxed the one behind the mill and bought the mill under her name!
Now that the mill is under her name surely she must be helping my sister!” When Xian Xieren finished speaking she was so angry that she almost cracked the table in front of her in pieces.
” If it wasn’t for the fact that these fools were my own people, I would have thought that they were Li Yan’s women and sending wrong reports! I am trying to recruit that talented woman who was behind the fruit shop in the capital along with the rice bran mill and yet you all bringing back nothing but useless information!
Are you all working together to watch me get dethroned?” Xian Xieren snapped at the trusted aide.
The trusted aide immediately knelt on the ground in fear and then said, ” Please don’t be angry Your Majesty. I don’t think that these people who were sent to the Big River Village would have the guts to spread false news——”
Xian Xieren then looked at her trusted aide and laughed scornfully before saying, ” Are you saying that I am wronging them? Look at the report! I asked them to find the woman who was behind the rice bran mill and they sent me back the report saying that it was all Li Yan!”
” Your humble subordinate doesn’t dare to contradict you, your majesty,” the trusted aide stated with a polite voice.
” I think you all are doing a good job contradicting me! You say that I am wronging those guards and those guards are sending me these ridiculous reports trying to fool me! It’s ridiculous even reading it makes me laugh!” No one knew better than her what kind of person Li Yan was, though she was honest and smart, Li Yan did not have a bone of improvisation and creation.
There was no way in hell that the idea of creating oil from rice bran came from Li Yan’s head.
It was clearly someone else! But her guards were so useless that they couldn’t find the person behind the scenes.
When Xian Xieren thought about how the mill was in Li Yan’s hands, she couldn’t help but be terrified. Xian Zhenya was still lurking out somewhere, she also had the information Lion tally in her hands. Unlike her who did not even know where their mother hid the lion tally, even when she created such a ruckus, her mother, the Empress did not tell her where that tally was hidden.
If anything her mother even told her that she was not capable enough to rule the country. She was locked and kidnapped by her and yet her mother stayed quiet till the end.
She needed to get her hands on the Empress seal as well as the lion tally to command the secret army of the Empress. Without these two things even if she was to sit at the throne, no one would be willing to listen to her!
” Your Highness it is not that the guards are hiding the information from you deliberately. I believe that Li Yan and Qiao Sha who have been loyal to the second princess are trying to keep the traces of that woman hidden. They know how important she is to them which is why they must have created a lot of trouble for our people,” the trusted aide spoke to Xian Xieren.
Upon hearing this, Xian Xieren furrowed her brows. Indeed her guards would not have the guts to lie to her but she couldn’t just sit still and wait for death, could she? If she did not get her hands on the information regarding the woman who was helping Li Yan then she would only be making Xian Zhenya even more strong.
What was more it was embarrassing for her to not be able to get hold of a commoner’s information, she did not believe that she could find a mere commoner who lived under her control.
Furthermore, she believed that Xian Zhenya was hiding in the Big River Town as well. As long as she could get her hands on that commoner woman and make her hand her skills over, she would be able to stop Xian Zhenya from rising!
Just as she was thinking about what to do, someone rushed inside her study and then stated, ” Your majesty, we have received news from our spies that the second princess is now heading towards her fiefdom. From the spies’ information, she is trying to get hold of her personal army as well as the special forces, I guess the Lion tally is hiding in her fiefdom”
When Xian Xieren heard the words of her spy, she frowned and then nodded before saying, ” Very well, send a few soldiers and deal with that woman. She is injured for the time being, even if she hasn’t been crippled she is no different from one.
Immediately send the message to the spies at her fiefdom and ask them to look for lion tally and try to sneak in a few guards at the Big River Town just in case that woman is hiding there.”
