The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 1224: Ambition and Desire

Chapter 1224: Ambition and Desire

n.o.ble Consort Zhou, who had almost run back to her own palace, threw the tray in her hand onto the ground and then lay on the chaise lounge, almost paralyzed.

She opened her hands and saw that her palms were covered in a cold sweat.

Then, she patted her beating heart and comforted herself," Ever since His Majesty drank that bowl of ginseng soup, there's no turning back! Otherwise, we will be the ones to die!"

After continuously tapping her heart, which was beating anxiously, she finally calmed down.

At this moment, Yuwen Feiye came in. When he saw n.o.ble Consort Zhou's expression, his expression changed drastically. He looked around carefully, then walked past n.o.ble Consort Zhou and said in disbelief, "Mother…"

n.o.ble Consort Zhou looked at Yuwen Feiye and said calmly," Ye 'er, there's no turning back! Since we have embarked on this path, we can only continue walking down it. We cannot fail! Because,"

n.o.ble Consort Zhou stared at Yuwen Feiye seriously and spat out word by word from her red mouth. "We can't afford to fail!"

Once they failed, it would be a great crime of treason!

They had no way to survive!

In an instant, Yuwen Feiye's entire body went limp on the ground, and his face turned ashen!

n.o.ble Consort Zhou looked at Yuwen Feiye's cowardly state and immediately shouted with dissatisfaction," Ye 'er, get up!"

Yuwen Feiye looked at n.o.ble Consort Zhou blankly, like a child who had lost his direction. He called out softly," Consort Mother!"

n.o.ble Consort Zhou immediately berated sternly," Those who achieve great things must do whatever it takes and resort to unscrupulous means! Besides,"

She stared at Yuwen Feiye with a sharp gaze and said," The medicine that your uncle gave me was not poison. It was a drug that could control one's mind! We didn't kill His Majesty. We just wanted His Majesty to listen to us!

"After we succeed, you will be the high and mighty emperor, your father will be the retired emperor, and your mother will be the empress dowager. Ye 'er, since ancient times, which emperor's dynasty has not been piled up with corpses and rivers of blood! Therefore, you can't be weak. You can only grit your teeth and go! Ye 'er, think about it again. When you hold the power of the world in your hands, when all the officials of the imperial court respectfully shout 'long live' to you, when all the imperial brothers kneel at your feet like slaves and submit to you, can you refuse that wonderful feeling?"

All along, Yuwen Feiye had been ambitious. He had tried to fight for the position with the other princes and grand princes fairly. He had to suppress the other princes and grand princes, especially the Crown Prince, and then make the Emperor confer him the Crown Prince, the future heir!

But now, his uncle, or rather, the Zhou family, and his mother, Imperial Consort Zhou, had cut off that path.

That's right!

Since ancient times, those who had ascended to that position had all resorted to unscrupulous means. They had all been covered in corpses, rivers of blood, and even killed their brothers and fathers…

Yuwen Feiye stood up from the ground. From a fl.u.s.tered prince, he immediately became a prince full of ambition and desire. His face was now filled with ruthlessness and determination, making people shudder!

Yuwen Feiye looked at n.o.ble Consort Zhou and said," Mother, you are right! Ye 'er was wrong!"

n.o.ble Consort Zhou was initially very surprised by her son's change, but in an instant, she became very comforted!

That's right!

n.o.ble Consort Zhou laughed. Ye 'er, that's right! Men who achieve great things must not be soft-hearted. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future!"

Yuwen Feiye immediately said," Mother is right!"

n.o.ble Consort Zhou nodded her head in satisfaction." Since we've already made a decision, let's inform your uncle!"

"Yes, Imperial Mother!" Yuwen Feiye replied respectfully.

"Okay, then go!" n.o.ble Consort Zhou waved her hand.

Just as Yuwen Feiye was about to leave, he saw the tray and bowl fragments on the ground. He paused and said," Mother, this is?"

Imperial Concubine Zhou's expression changed slightly, and then she said directly," Just now, Imperial Concubine Mother went to the royal study!"

This was to tell Yuwen Feiye that the emperor had been drugged.

Yuwen Feiye's expression only changed slightly this time. Then, he said very calmly," Mother, Ye 'er also wants to drink a bowl of soup!"

In fact, he felt that something was not right. For the past two days, he had been coming to the Moon Palace to drink soup.

He had instructed the Third Prince's mansion to cook the soup in the kitchen, but they couldn't replicate that taste.

After thinking about it, he believed that the taste of the food made in the imperial kitchen was different.

n.o.ble Consort Zhou smiled and said," Alright! Consort Mother will go and order the palace maids to bring the soup!"

Then, she shouted towards the door," Qin 'er, go to the imperial kitchen and tell them that the Third Prince wants to drink chicken soup. Tell them to prepare it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Qin 'er immediately replied.

The mother and son sat quietly in the Moon Palace. In fact, they felt that something was wrong and uneasy, but they didn't know why.

After an unknown period of time, Qin 'er came over with the old hen soup and said very respectfully," Your Majesty, Third Prince, the chicken soup is here!"

Then, she placed the tray on the table and scooped a bowl for the mother and son.

The two of them took the soup from Qin 'er and started drinking it.

A moment later, Yuwen Feiye asked with a puzzled smile," Mother, why do I feel that your chicken soup is especially delicious?"He couldn't tell how good it was. It was just that he was addicted to it and kept trying to attract him to drink it.

n.o.ble Consort Zhou felt a little strange after hearing Yuwen Fei's words." Yes. Consort Mother also felt the same way. In the past, when I drank this soup, although it was also delicious, I did not have this kind of addictive feeling of wanting to drink it again. Could it be that we had changed to another imperial chef? Qin 'er, has the imperial chef changed?"

Qin 'er was shocked when she heard the conversation between mother and son. She clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes were filled with panic.

'Have we been discovered?' Qin 'er thought to herself.

Just as she finished thinking, she heard n.o.ble Consort Zhou's question and immediately pretended to be calm. She lowered her head and said in a slightly undulating voice," Replying to the Mistress, no!"

n.o.ble Consort Zhou asked curiously, "Is there no change? Why was the soup so delicious these two days?"

Qin 'er thought for a moment and said immediately," Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty ordered the imperial chef to go to the capital to learn cooking at Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g Restaurant!"

The mother and son were still a little confused when they heard what Qin 'er said, but they did not doubt the authenticity of Qin' er's words.

They had also heard that the food in Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g restaurant was superb, even better than the food in the palace. They had also heard that the Emperor had asked the imperial chefs of the imperial kitchen to go to that restaurant to learn how to cook.

However, what puzzled them was that since the chef of Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g Restaurant was better than the imperial chef, why didn't he directly make him the imperial chef of the palace? Instead, he made the imperial chef learn cooking there.

This sounded like a joke.

However, the heart of an Emperor was unpredictable!

They couldn't guess the Emperor's thoughts.
