Chapter 1993: Chapter 1931: The Situation

The group entered a small courtyard separately arranged within the post station. Neither Hua Wushuang nor Wufu lacked money or people, so, even though it was within the post station, the courtyard was exquisitely arranged by the servants.

Wufu meant that since they had traveled a long way, both by water and land, and with a child in tow, they were not in a hurry to reach their destination despite the arduous journey. It was not too late to rest for two days at the post station before slowly entering the city.

"...Ah Jiu was supposed to come to greet you, but he is currently monitoring the state affairs, with plenty of tasks overwhelming him," Wufu apologized.

Hua Wushuang said, "It’s alright, there will always be a time for reunion." After pausing, Hua asked in a low voice, "Is the Emperor Yan in poor health?"

Wufu nodded, lowering her voice further, "It’s just holding on day by day."

Hua Wushuang furrowed her brow, pursed her lips, and said, "The world is about to fall into chaos."

"Hmm?"

Hua Wushuang whispered, "A few days ago, I received news from the Eagle Hall’s line, the Emperor of Nanyue hasn’t attended the court meeting for several days, and now the affairs are being managed by Fan’s Party and Zhao Mingjun."

Wufu was somewhat surprised, "Is the Emperor of Nanyue unwell?"

The Emperor Yan is unwell, and now the Emperor of Nanyue too?

Hua Wushuang shook his head, "The news is tightly sealed, and the outside world only knows that he is indisposed. But in reality, he should have taken too many elixirs and is poisoned by them."

"He’s bringing about his own doom!" Wufu snorted coldly.

"Fan’s Party was already powerful, and now they are managing the state’s affairs and seizing power. With Empress Fan holding the Harem, Fan’s Party will surely expand. The Nanyue Court was already rotten, and now with the Fan Clan holding power, the situation will only worsen. Once the Emperor of Nanyue collapses, Prince Wei, who is already restless in the Northwest, will likely take action as well," Hua Wushuang said.

Compared to Beiyan, although Emperor Yan is gravely ill, with Empress Dowager Mo and Ah Jiu, Beiyan is united, and the internal situation is stable, ensuring peace and happiness.

But what about Nanyue? With the Fan Clan and Prince Wei, once the Emperor of Nanyue collapses, Prince Wei will certainly seize the opportunity to raise the banner.

Wufu concurred with Hua Wushuang’s words; Prince Wei is ambitious and has long wanted to rebel.

"Zhao Mingjun has been designated as the Crown Prince?" Wufu recalled Zhao Mingjun’s face. It was somewhat unpleasant to think of such a person becoming a ruler of a nation in the future.

"Not yet, but as long as Empress Fan and the Fan Clan don’t fall, it’s only a matter of time. Zhao Mingkun has already been suppressed to the point where he can’t raise his head,"

"Isn’t his wife a daughter of the Fan Family?"

Hua Wushuang nodded, "It’s precisely because of that Fifth Miss of the Fan Family that he hasn’t been put to death yet. He is sensible, knowing to remain as the Idle King, otherwise, if he isn’t, the Fan Family can dispose of him anytime."

For a big family, abolishing a young lady doesn’t mean much.

Wufu, however, smiled, "The Fan Family probably wouldn’t dispose of him carelessly either."

Hua Wushuang glanced over, raising an eyebrow.

"Suppose Zhao Mingjun becomes an emperor in the future, would he allow the power to remain in the hands of his relatives, content to be a puppet emperor? If he is unwilling, would he continue to allow such power to exist? Moreover, as the saying goes, ’When the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked,’ the Fan Family, accustomed to the peak of power, how would they willingly become that hunted dog? With one still remaining, they can dispose of one and support another puppet!"

"You indeed have some political insight," Hua Wushuang chuckled. His thoughts coincided with Wufu’s.

Fan’s Party is fully prepared, just to see whether the Fan Clan or Zhao Mingjun has the superior means. However, Zhao Mingjun, that arrogant one, would probably be crushed by the Fan Family in no time.

"Same to you," Wufu shrugged.

She looked down at Changsheng, seeing him clutching her clothes and asleep, she hushed, and gently placed him on a nearby beauty couch.
