Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Prime Minister Huo received the news from the servants around the Queen and sat there in deep thought.

"Master, what did the Queen say?"

"She said the emperor was unconscious, but didn't say he had passed away. Prince Mu ordered all the princes and concubines to come to the emperor's bedroom to see him for the last time."

"This proves that the emperor is not dead but is in a coma, or that Prince Mu is deliberately leading us to speculate. It's hard to say whether it's true or not."

"Please wait a little longer. Don't be impulsive before you are sure. This concerns the future of the entire Huo family and the prince. You must be cautious and prudent."

"One wrong move and the whole game is lost. Even with the Queen Mother here, she can't protect our Huo family."

"If Prince Mu ascends the throne, and Xi'er happens to have loved Prince Mu for many years, and asks the Queen Mother to make the decision and let them get married, the position of Empress will still be in the hands of our Huo family, and the Huo family can still prosper for decades."

"Master, whether it's the Crown Prince or Prince Mu who ascends the throne, as long as we don't harbor rebellious intentions, the Huo family will remain standing."

"Let me think about it."

何家

Imperial Censor He, the father of Concubine He, was shocked to hear the news of the Emperor's death. He pondered for a moment, "The previous Emperor has passed away, and the new Emperor has ascended the throne. The Crown Prince, the legitimate son of the Empress, will definitely ascend the throne."

"If it's true as the rumors say, the Crown Prince might not be the King, but rather the late Emperor's brother, Prince Mu, who ascended the throne as Emperor."

"Master, no matter who ascends the throne, the eldest prince will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side of the new emperor and will be eliminated as soon as possible."

"You must find a way to protect them and their child."

"The new emperor's ascension to the throne will only win over the people. He won't touch the eldest prince for the time being, but it's hard to say in the long run. You can also ask for a fiefdom to keep them and their son away from the capital."

"That's one way."

薛家

Concubine Xue is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue and also the eldest sister of Xue Ying. At the beginning, the Minister of Revenue saw that Jiang Zongwei had no family background and such a person would be easier to control, so he married his illegitimate daughter to him and asked him to work for the Xue family.

He sat together with his two sons and son-in-law Jiang Zongwei to discuss countermeasures. His expression was serious and solemn.

"This concerns the future of our Xue family. What do you think?"

Jiang Zongwei looked at him and said cautiously, "Dad, since the Queen didn't tell us about the Emperor's passing, we should just pretend we didn't know. After all, the Fourth Prince is still young, and there's the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince above him, so it's not the Fourth Prince's turn to succeed him. The first bird to stick its head out gets hammered down. Whoever can hold their temper longer at this moment will be the winner."

"When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. If our Xue family intervenes at that time, our chances of victory will only be greater. Furthermore, the Queen Mother wants to assist Prince Mu in ascending the throne, so our Xue family should wait and see."

Xue Haoyu, the youngest son of the Minister of Revenue, looked down on his brother-in-law Jiang Zongwei and said bluntly, "You are just a sixth-rank civil servant, not even qualified to attend the morning court. Yet you speak so confidently, as if you know everything about the court situation."

The Minister of Revenue Xue Zhong fell into deep thought. He also rose from a humble family, later married a girl from a wealthy family, and with the support of his father-in-law, he was able to rise step by step to the high position of the Minister of Revenue.

He also relied on his extraordinary intelligence and decisive decision-making to stand firm in the complex political environment. At the same time, he always paid attention to the changes in the court situation and was good at seizing opportunities to seek benefits for the Xue family.

The Xue family’s current status is hard-earned and needs to be cherished. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and one can lose everything if one is not careful.

He paused for a moment, nodded repeatedly in appreciation, and said, "Son-in-law Jiang, you are absolutely right. Our Xue family should wait and see what happens."

"Even if the Crown Prince or Prince Mu ascends the throne, they will not be safe. The new emperor will ascend the throne to win over the people's hearts and make plans when the Fourth Prince is fully grown."

The two sons of the Xue family glanced at Jiang Zongwei with dissatisfaction.

Xue Zhong angrily scolded: "You should learn from Jiang's son-in-law and stop thinking about eating, drinking and having fun all day long. Otherwise, our Xue family will be finished."

"Dad, you just can't see how hard we brothers work. You compare him, a country bumpkin, to us."

Xue Zhong was most afraid of people mentioning his background, so he threw a teacup at him and roared, "You bastard, your father came from the countryside. Without my hard work and dedication, how could you be so rich today?"

"Dad, I didn't say anything about you."

"You can't even talk about Jiang's son-in-law. He has more insight and ability than you."

"Go back to your room and reflect on what you have done."

After his two sons left, Jiang Zongwei also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xue Zhong.

"Son-in-law, don't bother with them. Work hard and you will have a bright future."

"Thank you, Dad. I understand."
