Chapter 47 The Emperor's Schemes

After Li Xiang learned that Li Tingting had beaten up Wu Xiong'an in the middle of the night, he called her to his home the next day.

"Tingting, what are you doing? The Emperor's eyes have always been on our family."

But after you entered the palace, you've already caused a huge uproar in just a few days.

"If you keep causing trouble like this, I'm afraid the consequences will get out of hand, and neither your third uncle nor I will be able to protect you."

Li Xiang said with concern and reproach.

Even Madam Lin, who doted on Li Tingting the most, was trying to persuade her.

"Yes, Tingting, I heard from your third aunt that people in the palace..."

You've beaten almost everyone, even though our family has some prestige in the capital.

But this can't withstand your antics; you need to tone it down a bit.

Sitting on the other side, Li Xiang also looked at Li Tingting with concern.

"Tingting, how about this? I see you have a job at Yonghua Palace..."

"Let's just decline it. Uncle will talk to the Emperor tomorrow."

After hearing everyone's complaints, Li Tingting smiled. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, don't worry!"

I know what I'm doing. The more I cause trouble, the more the Emperor trusts us.

Li Xiang's wife, Mrs. Liang, asked in bewilderment, "Tingting, why do you say that?"

"Third Aunt, why does the Emperor keep targeting our large family?"

Actually, his vision extends beyond just our area.

Rather, it refers to all the families in the capital.

Currently, there are only three prominent families in the capital: our Li family.

"And the Wu family, and the Wang family too." Li Tingting smiled at Madam Liang.

After pausing for a moment, she looked at everyone and continued to add to the discussion.

"I went to beat up Wu Xiong'an last night, even though it offended the Wu family."

But if the emperor finds out, he'll be happy; the better the relationship between our three families,

If we stick together too tightly, the emperor will worry more. But the more conflicts we have, the happier the emperor will be.

So, Second Uncle and Third Uncle, don't worry! Everything will be fine.

I bet the emperor will pretend to be a peacemaker again tomorrow.”

After listening, Li Xiang pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Tingting, even if it's really as you say, it's just a temporary measure."

"Yes, that's true. So, Second Uncle and Third Uncle, you two..."

Starting tomorrow, we can deliberately associate with the Wang family in court.

They also argued and made a scene, creating disharmony.

Only then might the emperor feel at ease, and perhaps he would feel at ease about our families.

They would then focus their attention on establishing a crown prince; otherwise, our Li family...

Being constantly watched by the emperor is not a good thing.

He had been questioning them for a long time, and with the slander of some treacherous officials,

We will become even more passive.

After listening, Li Zhong seemed to understand something and pressed for an explanation.

"Tingting, even if the emperor is focused on choosing an heir, it doesn't mean we're safe, does it?"

Li Tingting smiled calmly, "Haha, although we can't guarantee long-term safety..."

But for us, this will bring temporary peace.

Moreover, the struggle for the throne among several princes is itself a long process.

As long as we are in this process,

"By choosing the right side, our Li family can go much further in the future."

Li Zhong, however, was worried. "Tingting, your strategy seems clever, but it is actually full of risks."

"If we make even the slightest mistake, we will lose everything, and our family will be doomed."

Li Tingting bit her lip, looking at Li Zhong with a determined expression:

"Second Uncle, we have no other choice."

The emperor is watching us so closely; if we don't take action to seize the initiative,

We will become more passive, but perhaps by doing this, we can sow the seeds of a future.

Moreover, with so many disciples in the capital, do you think the Emperor would trust our family?

Li Zhong sighed deeply: "Tingting, once you take this step, there's no turning back."

If they fail, the Li family's centuries-old legacy may be destroyed.

Moreover, the risk would be even greater if we made a mistake in choosing which side the prince should support.

Li Tingting clenched her fists tightly: "Second Uncle, the situation is urgent."

We have no choice but to take the initiative; otherwise, we will only sit and wait to die.

Our Li family will fall even faster, but even if the road ahead is fraught with peril, we will fight to the bitter end.

Li Zhong remained silent for a long time, but finally his eyes hardened.

"Fine, since that's the case, then we'll proceed according to your plan."

But you must be extremely careful from now on, and absolutely must not be negligent in the slightest again.

Li Tingting nodded emphatically: "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will do my best."

......

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

"Haha, this Li Tingting is such a troublemaker, haha!"

I really didn't expect that she would dare to beat up Wu Xiong'an in the middle of the night.

She's nothing like a lady from a respectable family; she's clearly a shrew, haha.

After hearing about Li Tingting's actions, the emperor chuckled and said...

The emperor's trusted aide, with a fawning expression, said, "Your Majesty,"

What do you think is the best way to handle this matter?

"Hmm, I think if those two families start arguing fiercely..."

I'd still like them to act as peacemakers, haha.

If they handle it discreetly, then we'll pretend we don't know anything.

The emperor waved his hand dismissively.

His trusted aide looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Your Majesty, what is this...?"

The emperor shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Hehe,"

I already have enough worries, such as the matter of choosing an heir for my five princes.

There's still no progress. My sons are all quite good.

This has me completely overwhelmed.

If these powerful families continue to band together for mutual support, how can I rest easy?

Not only that, look at my concubines in the harem...

Which one is the fuel-efficient lamp?

So let the powerful families fight amongst themselves!

"I only need to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and I can reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Isn't that wonderful? Haha!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's confidant instantly understood and immediately began showering the emperor with flattery.

"Your Majesty is truly insightful and far-sighted! Your humble servant is in awe!"

However, after a pause, he frowned again, "Your Majesty,"

Now it seems that Li Tingting is no pushover.

Your expectations of her may be dashed, even if you manage to set her up with your prince.

Your humble servant fears she is a rose with thorns, and that the princes will not be able to tame her.

"Haha, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately burst into laughter, then waved his hand dismissively.

"My dear minister, you are overthinking it. Although I did have some feelings for her before..."

That's just because they're after the Li family's power.

There are countless beautiful women in the world, so why would I covet her beauty?

Life is full of disappointments, eight or nine out of ten things don't go as planned; it's okay to settle for second best.

After a pause, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, and said with a serious expression,

"Starting tomorrow, we will focus our attention on my sons."

"Without an heir, my harem will never be at peace. It's time to resolve these matters."
