Chapter 231: Who's The Empress?!
The Emperor was furious. "I want to see those officials who were responsible for this case. Also, send someone to the Wang clan and investigate everything clearly."
Tyler, who was listening to this dramatical conversation, instantly stepped outside of the screen and said, "I'll go and investigate personally."
He remembered this plot. Before becoming pregnant, the female lead had gone to the residence of Wang Clan to investigate the case with two intentions. One was to show everyone that she was an influential person and worthy of becoming an Empress, and another was to find a special spiritual herb that could make anyone pregnant.
That was how she ended up carrying the original male lead's child.
Now when Tyler was going to break the storyline and mess up the arcs, he thought it was better to do all the activities that the female lead had done.
On the other hand, The Emperor was surprised, and the first thought he had was to reject this proposal. Now that the Wang Clan had decided to sell out the rations belonging to the nation, they were clearly on the path of rebelling. The danger would be on its height. So Liang Deming's eyes carried a hint of worry as he stared at the ger before his eyes.
"I won't permit it."
Tyler knew this person would say these words. A smile formed on his lips, and he said, "Your Majesty, I'm a ger after all. I can easily get in touch with the gers and female servants in the Wang Clan. They would confide in me easily once I show my face."
The Emperor lowered his head as if he was contemplating something. The entire hall was silent as the officials in front of the latter watched the husband and wife discussing this matter.
Up until yesterday, they had only heard about how this ger was being favored by the Emperor. Still, now when this person was actually able to calm the furious person on the throne, they started seeing Tyler from a different light. If possible, they all had to curry favor with this person!
"I don't mind you going there, but I must ensure your safety." Liang Deming spoke all of a sudden.
Tyler was surprised. "I don't need your Majesty to send anyone with me."
"That won't do. I can't let you go there on your own."
Tyler was going to say something, but Liang Deming said, "I know you want to go there and see something. But I can't let you go there alone."
Tyler didn't want to argue with this person. But before he could open his mouth and say something, he heard the following words that shocked the entire court. "Can I go there with the Empress?"
Empress.....?
Who? He Qiao?!
When did this ger become an Empress?!
All the officials were thinking the same, and even Tyler tilted his head at these words and looked at his senior in confusion.
So in Liang Deming's eyes, he was already his Empress? His lips curved up to form a satisfying arc. "Your Majesty, you're the leader of the entire world. Isn't it awkward for you to ask me, your Empress, a question like that before so many people?"
He specifically emphasized the word 'Empress' and raised his voice for everyone to hear.
The Emperor was surprised to see that his legal partner became not only shocked after hearing his words but also the latter deliberately uttered the word 'Empress' to show that he agreed to his words.
Originally, Liang Deming had spoken those words with intentions hidden behind them. One was that he wanted to go with this person and take care of his ger. He didn't want to be separated from this man at all! And the second reason was to tell everyone that He Qiao would be his Empress from now on!
When the officials saw this kind of exchange, they could only shake their heads collectively and exchange a glance. They respected their Emperor, but they really didn't want to see how the Emperor and his legal partner, who suddenly became the Empress, were conversing in private! This was a direct declaration of war for the singles available among the officials.
Fortunately, not all the officials were in a daze. One of them cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty. I have heard from spies hidden inside that the Wang Clan is thinking of rebelling. So they wouldn't welcome any Royals, especially not the Empress!"
The indication was clear. The Empress's life would be in danger.
Liang Deming's brows furrowed. "So it's final. I'll go with the Empress with imperial guards."
Everyone sighed in relief. They all cherished their lives, so they didn't want this Empress to die at the hands of the enemy. The officials had seen how Tyler was capable of calming the Emperor's angry mood. When they heard that the Emperor would go himself to handle the matter with the Empress, they felt satisfied in their hearts.
But some of them were still worried.
"Your Majesty, would it be good to go there yourself? Wouldn't that mean a declaration of war directly?" One of the officials on the right asked.
"What declaration?! Do you even know what you're saying?" The left side immediately went against the words of the right side. "You have just admitted to the fact that the Wang Clan has become a traitor, and you don't have any evidence yet! They are going to investigate this thing, not to go against the clan! Mind your words!"
The right side got angry. "So what? Should we just let The Emperor and Empress go there in person and live among dangerous people?!"
"I didn't say it like that."
"But that's what it felt like!"
The male lead got a headache hearing both sides, and he finally opened his mouth. "We will think of something."
Tyler, who went silent again and watched this catfight between the officials in amusement, said, "We will disguise ourselves as commoners and enter the personal house of Wang Mao as travelers."
That suggestion seemed good. The officials glanced at each other and finally relaxed their shoulders. Even the Emperor appeared to be satisfied with this suggestion.
But there was one person who wasn't happy, Yan Huan.
Initially, she had come to this place to participate in the cases available to get the Emperor's attention. And when she heard about the problems related to Wang Clan, she planned to go there herself. She even had good connections that would help her get around the clan, and she even possessed the authority to converse with the leader of the clan, Wang Mao.
But this He Qiao seemed to be a step ahead! He spoke before the female lead could even gather up her courage and get up from her seat behind the screen!
She glared at Tyler, who suddenly became an Empress of the world!
Then she watched He Qiao glancing at her all of a sudden. Her body went stiff as she gripped the wooden chair tightly. She was actually an illegitimate daughter of the previous chief, the father of Wang Mao. And she even had black materials against her stepbrother. So she was confident that she could enter, but no one should know about this information. Before meeting the Emperor in her childhood, her mother had come to the city and hidden their identity since the Wang Clan hadn't welcomed the pair of mother and daughter. But after Yan Huan grew up, she collected all the black materials against her stepbrother and blackmailed that person many times to achieve whatever she wanted.
But she knew that Tyler couldn't enter that place on his own. So when he glanced at the female lead, she froze and prayed to all the Gods available in her heart. She really didn't want her identity to be revealed right now!
The man who became the Empress in a blink of an eye smiled at her and walked towards her, and said, "But I know someone who could make it easier for us to enter that place without being discovered."
The female lead didn't say anything and lowered to pretend that she didn't exist. She knew what the Empress was going to say next, but she really wasn't prepared! She didn't want to go with these people and expose her identity! Right now, the entire Wang Clan has become a traitor in everyone's eyes. And if they knew that she was also a member of the clan, they would bully her even more! No one would respect her!
But Tyler didn't want to show mercy this time. He was already pissed after seeing this girl's face. So he parted his lips and said, "Concubine Yan Huan, tell everyone how you possessed authority in the Wang Clan."
Yan Huan's face paled when she saw He Qiao coming toward her. Her grip on the armrest was so tight that the bones of her knuckles appeared to be about to break!
He Qiao appeared before her, and she suddenly jumped out of her seat. "You're a lying b*stard!"
Tyler smirked. "I'm the Empress of the Liang Dynasty now. So shouldn't you show me respect? How can you jump in front of me like that?"
Even the Emperor seemed to be irritated after seeing this kind of behavior. He glared at the woman and said, "Huan, I didn't expect this from you." Then he paused and asked, "And what kind of authority do you have?"
