Ji Yang and the rest thought that Zhai Tianyu would be in a dark mood the next time they see him but as their gazes landed on Zhai Tianyu who was walking out of his tent while humming a soft tune and a gentle smile on his face, they were stunned to the point where they couldn't help but frown. What happened? How come he was smiling all of a sudden?

They were confused and so were the others but Zhai Tianyu did not care about them or anyone else for that matter, he glanced at them lightly before turning around and heading to his carriage, originally he wanted to take it with Liu Hui Ying but the latter had smacked him on his butt asking him if he had gone crazy.

As he thought of their small quibbling, Zhai Tianyu could not help but chuckle as he remembered how Liu Hui Ying had glared at him as she snarled like an angry cat at him,

' Do you wish me to go and die? Spend three hours in a carriage with you? Why don't you tell me to ascend to the heavens?' She sneered at him while hitting him with her small fan which she later threw away. 'If you want to die then you are free to do so, just leave me alone.'

Zhai Tianyu knew that she was still not used to staying close to a man which was why he did not ask her to accompany him to the imperial city and simply chose the carriage in which he was going to travel alone but was it possible for a certain someone to ignore his journey which was supposed to be filled with solitude? Not at all!

" What are you doing Ji Yu?" When the grand dowager Empress saw Ji Yu heading towards the carriage which was empty instead of taking one with Zhai Tianyu, she was stunned. She immediately pulled Ji Yu back and then turned her such that she was heading in the direction of the carriage in which Zhai Tianyu was sitting. " The Queen is travelling in another carriage, this is the time for you to shine.

Go and take a seat in the carriage with Tianyu, you can't let others walk all over your head."

Ji Yu was speechless as she looked at the grand dowager Empress, she turned her head and then pursed her lips before heading towards the carriage. She very much wanted to refuse her grand aunt's 'considerate' suggestion but she remembered that she needed to gain the trust of her aunt as much as possible such that she will be able to get closer to the inner secrets of her family.

Thus, even though she was annoyed she still walked towards the carriage causing the grand dowager Empress and Ji Yang to heave a sigh of relief. Right now, they were worried about losing the connections that they have gained after working for so long.

Ji Yang was indeed flustered after his shady dealings came to life once again, in the past he used to do such things many times to gain the attention and trust of the late Emperor but in return, he handed double the position and fame to those men.

After all, power was something that only came in the life of a man once but women were like socks on their feet even if they were torn and thrown aside, they could always pick another pair up. He never thought that one day his deepest darkest dealings would be thrown to light.

As he thought of how he had been on the receiving end of contemptuous gazes by many he turned to glare at the carriage which was carrying Qin Mo Han.

" Don't do anything foolish," just as he was thinking about making the man who almost ruined him suffer, he heard the grand dowager Empress stop him which caused his expression to turn twisted just as his face turned red in anger.

" You are asking me to ignore this aunt?" Ji Yang asked with a vicious note in his voice which caused the grand Dowager Empress to turn and glare at him with an impatient look on her face as she snapped, " You think that you are the only one who is smart don't you? Have you ever thought about what Tianyu will think if something was to happen to that Surname Qin ?"

Ji Yang was not at all bothered by that as he shrugged and then replied, " Who cares about him, aunt? I am sure that the Emperor will be suspicious but without evidence what can he do?"

" What can he do?" The grand dowager Empress coldly spoke as she sneered in a low voice. " You might think that you are untouchable Ji Yang but let me remind you, that boy is not alone. Lin Dong Ming is with him, that man has been eyeing our family for ages, do you think that he will leave you alone? If Tianyu's suspicions towards you get out of control then he will surely take advantage of it.

Do not make a mistake at this point do you understand?"

After she was done speaking she turned on her heels and then headed in the opposite direction which caused Ji Yang to lower his head and clench his fists.

He hated to admit it but what his aunt said was indeed correct ——he could not make a mistake at this point and push Zhai Tianyu towards Lin Dong Ming, that man might be a fool but he was the one who was in control, if he pushed him away then he might not be able to regain his power back so easily!

He turned his gaze towards the carriage and muttered, " I hope you will not let father down, Yu'er."

With that he took one last glance at the exquisite carriage and then turned around to leave, even though he wished to make a move, he could only suffer in silence this time.
