Openly Plotting (2)

Zhao Yiqin snorted. Wearing a gown with nine phoenix on it, she had a dominating presence.

“If you know that I am in a bad mood, then stop messing around. If you don’t have anything important to say, then I am going to leave.”

“Empress Dowager really likes to cut to the chase. Then this official will not leave you in suspense any longer.”

Zhang Wei continued, “Many have heard of the news of how Ye Mu has harmed people at Tian Shou Temple. This official has thought of a plan and wanted to share it with the Empress Dowager.”

“Tell me.”

The chubby man had a glint in his eye as he spoke smugly, “Because Ye Mu didn’t cause enough deaths, it wouldn’t set off a big enough storm. Since that is so, we could try to find someone to impersonate Ye Mu, such that it looks like she murdered numerous commoners. Then let it be well known… that the emperor is raising a monster.”

Zhao Yiqin’s eyebrows raised lightly. Zhang Wei truly deserved to be called her trusted aide, to have come up with this idea. She nodded her head, “This show is definitely worth seeing. I am just uncertain on what stage this should take place?”

“What about the main street of Dong Qi?”

Zhao Yiqin approved, “That’s perfect. Today’s weather isn’t bad. I wouldn’t mind taking a walk with you!”

Zhang Wei nodded his head repeatedly before he went out the door with Zhao Yiqin.

Before arriving at their destination, the sound of chaos could be heard in the main street of Dong Qi. A small girl in white clothes and disheveled hair was openingly killing people in the crowd!

Zhao Yiqin couldn’t help but smirk. Now, as long as someone pretended to recognize the girl as Ye Mu… they could push all the blame onto Ye Mu.

However right then, as she watched the girl point a knife towards a man… The man turned his head… and his appearance made Zhao Yiqin’s pupils shrink!

“Stop her!”

As soon as she gave the order, the martial arts master standing behind her immediately intercepted. The imposter girl was not strong at all and was easily defeated with a single forceful palm of Zhao Yiqin’s subordinate. It startled Zhang Wei as his eyes widened in disbelief!

“Madam Zhao! What is the meaning of this?!”

Was it really hard for him to find a girl who was good at martial arts? Zhao Yiqin grumbled. She was originally here to witness this show, yet, she has spoiled their plan!

Zhao Yiqin also didn’t think that little girl would be so weak. Even if they wanted to shift the blame on Ye Mu… How could they possibly shift the blame on a dead corpse, of a girl that is still alive?

She was furious to the point of speechlessness. She simply said she thought she personally knew the man being attacked before.

Zhang Wei’s face showed his immense anger! He spent a lot of time organizing this! Yet it was completely ruined because Zhao Yiqin claimed she thought she knew the man?! What does she even mean by knowing him? Of course, Zhang Wei already knew of Zhao Yiqin’s unique taste in men with neat and clean appearances!

He laughed hauntingly, “Really? Then this official wouldn’t want to disturb Madam Zhao any longer!”

With his words, he turned and left abruptly. To one’s surprise, he was no longer willing to help Zhao Yiqin out.

Zhao Yiqin had a headache. She didn’t not expect to accidentally offend another court official. It would seem that she would have to find another day to quell his anger. Since Zhang Wei was angry at this moment, she was afraid he would not listen to her.

The man that was saved promptly bowed to the martial arts master and greeted Zhao Yiqin.

“Thank you so much madam, for helping me.”

His neutral expression… His respectful manner… The way in which he bowed and greeted her was also unexpectedly 10/10 very similar to Wen Ji!

Zhao Yiqin was taken aback! She then summoned someone to take this man back with her! She had to know if this person’s appearance was truly a lucky coincidence, or if it was some scheme plotted by the emperor!
