At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

"Han Qing led his army back to the capital in triumph, and the commotion was quite something. Yu Du hasn't been this lively in a long time."

That night.

Changle Palace.

Sun Li leaned against the cushion, a faint smile on her face. Clearly, she was not displeased with what had happened today. At this point, Sun Li said wistfully.

"It's good. Look at Yudu in the past, it was lifeless. Any slight disturbance would cause trouble. This commotion has actually brought more life to the city."

Leung Wong's expression was complicated.

The various events that have occurred in and around Yudu today, and the commotion they have caused, make it clear to anyone with discerning eyes that there is a hidden agenda behind them.

As a close and loyal servant of the Empress Dowager, he would surely investigate such matters if he knew them, but his subordinates found nothing, which alarmed Liang Huang.

Something's not right.

The wrong person!

"Master, I have sent people to investigate this matter." Thinking of this, Liang Huang lowered his head and said, "But strangely, nothing has been found out."

"besides…"

At this point, Leung Wong hesitated.

"What else?"

Sun Li said calmly.

“The Phoenix Palace, the Changqiu Palace, and some people in the court are also secretly investigating this matter,” Liang Huang replied cautiously, carefully choosing his words.

“This servant finds this matter suspicious. It seems that someone is trying to stir up trouble by taking advantage of the Marquis of Pingchuan’s triumphant return to the capital. Moreover, as far as this servant knows, the secret investigations seem to have found nothing.”

"Perhaps it was spontaneous."

Sun Li said nonchalantly, "Making a fuss over every little thing. It seems that the turmoil of the past lasted a long time and changed people."

"But this is good too. It's a good opportunity to let everyone know that the crisis facing the Great Yu has ended with Han Qing's triumphant return to the capital!"

Ok?

Seeing his master act this way, Liang Huang couldn't help but feel suspicious.

This is no small matter!

So much has happened in Dayu in the past three years that many things have changed, and most importantly, the hearts of some people have also quietly changed.

That's how people are.

The environment can change a lot.

"What happened at the grand ceremony held by the Secretariat at the Vermilion Bird Gate?" While Liang Huang was pondering these questions, Sun Li, no longer concerned about such matters, inquired about today's ceremony.

Han Qing's triumphant return to the capital held special significance for the Great Yu Dynasty.

Their triumphant return signifies the end of the overt turmoil in the Great Yu Dynasty. As for the hidden issues, those will need to be addressed gradually in the future.

Most importantly, Han Qing's return has already had an impact on the central leadership.

Many people are doing things behind the scenes because of this variable.

"Some issues have arisen."

Liang Huang lowered his head and said, "The grand ceremony of the Vermilion Bird Gate was delayed considerably from the scheduled time, which caused some dissatisfaction, but the ceremony still proceeded."

"However, when the Empress Dowager visited the Vermilion Bird Gate, she did not summon Han Qing. Besides that, according to what my men have discovered, there is also..."

As Sun Li listened to Liang Huang's report, her expression, devoid of joy or sorrow, made it impossible to guess what she was thinking. However, upon closer observation, it was not difficult to notice that a faint smile would occasionally appear on the corners of Sun Li's mouth.

Unfortunately, apart from Liang Huang, who was bowing and reporting, there was no one else in the palace. Clearly, Sun Li had his own thoughts on what had happened that day.

The pressure she had been under in the past had caused Sun Li's health to deteriorate to the point that she hadn't been able to get out of bed for a long time. However, this did not prevent Sun Li from taking control of certain situations.

"Go down."

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Li spoke.

"The slaves retire."

Liang Huang hurriedly bowed and said.

Since falling ill, Sun Li has preferred to be alone. Even when Liang Huang is not busy, he will wait outside the palace and will not come to serve him unless summoned.

After Liang Huang left, the large sleeping quarters were very quiet.

Sun Li leaned against the cushion, picked up a jade pendant, and said with a faint smile, "Brother Yuan, your grandson has really grown up. He even knows how to manipulate people's hearts."

"Hehe, it's pretty good."

“Some people in the court want to reduce the impact of Han Qing’s triumphant return to the capital in order to achieve their own goals. They think that they can keep my life a secret from me.”

"Unfortunately, they were thinking too simply."

"Da Yu has experienced three years of turmoil, and it is necessary to reduce or even gradually eliminate some of the impact. But this does not mean that some things or some people can do whatever they want."

If Liang Huang were present, he would definitely be shocked by what Sun Li said.

This means that today's Yudu, which is beyond the scope of the Central Secretariat, was handled by the Emperor in the Shanglin Garden. But the problem is, weren't the Emperor's people in the Shanglin Garden?

Could there be someone else?

But when did they gather together?

"This little monkey is always giving me surprises."

Sun Li rubbed the jade pendant, her smile undiminished, and said, "There are actually people I don't know who are working under him. It seems my worries were unnecessary."

Sun Li has experienced all sorts of storms. Although she may not know who is behind all the events that have happened in Yudu, she can easily figure out why these things happened once she has some information.

But just because she can see it doesn't mean that others can.

Because she was always an outsider in some matters, while others were insiders, she was able to see through them.

What pleased Sun Li the most was that her illegitimate grandson emperor, who had been out of the public eye for three years and was even the subject of much criticism, did not have the urgency she had worried about; on the contrary, he remained very calm.

Who doesn't like power?

How could an emperor, especially one who had grown up, bear to have power constantly slipping through his fingers while he himself was left with nothing but an empty shell?

"That's right."

Thinking of Chu Ling's face, Sun Li felt a little melancholy. "When the time is not right, people should be humble and suffer, especially men. There's nothing shameful about that."

"Patience is an essential quality of a mature man, as it allows him to lull everyone into a false sense of security."

"When the time is right, we must be decisive and ruthless. We must not be soft-hearted or hesitant when it is time to act. If necessary, we must eliminate all traces of them, leaving no one alive!"

Before knowing about this, Sun Li still had some worries in her heart.

She worried that if she really passed away, would her grandson be able to shoulder this heavy burden?

But after learning about this, Sun Li was less worried.

Even she herself had somewhat underestimated her grandson.

At this moment, Sun Li's attitude towards one thing was clear. Since her grandson wanted to create momentum and get Han Qing to play a role, she could not pretend not to know. She couldn't hold out for much longer in the Great Yu Dynasty. Some things had to be done in advance. Under such circumstances, it was not just her grandson who was being tested, but also her. Therefore, Sun Li would not hesitate at all and would definitely take action when the time was right.
