Chapter 1338: Nothing to Lose

He was so sure that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue would protect Empress Dowager Minde outside the palace because they would learn about Fu Ying’s weakness. So, as long as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan heard that Empress Dowager Minde would leave the palace to pray, they would immediately think that Fu Ying’s mother, Empress Dowager Minde, would fall into Fu Xu’s hands. Thus, they would want to protect Empress Dowager Minde.

Empress Dowager Minde has always been a stubborn old fogey. When the time came, the possibility of her dragging her daughter down was naturally extremely high.

As for why he said he wanted to capture Xue Yan and not mention that he would kill him, it was because Fu Xu wanted to capture Xue Yan alive and use him to threaten Da Ling. If he killed him directly, it would not benefit Fu Xu at all. If Da Ling knew about this, they would immediately send out troops to flatten Beicheng. Fu Xu definitely wouldn’t want that to happen as an Emperor.

“Why are you helping me? How can you be sure that the Da Ling Emperor and that Jiang Yue girl will affect things?” Fu Xu was tempted, but he had a lot more questions. He wanted to ask more, but just as he had just opened his mouth, and before he could finish his question, Shao Shuting cut him off. “Like I said, you can only take a gamble.”

Fu Xu thought that the person in front of him did not seem to be lying. Even if he wanted to harm him, he would not go so far as to make up stories about the Da Ling Emperor, the Fifth Prince of Da Ling, or this girl named Jiang Yue. He could just slit his neck with a dagger right now if he wanted to. These two people could do so. However, he was still somewhat skeptical and did not believe it completely. Especially when the person in front of him said that they were there to help him, he did not believe it at all. Why would someone come to help him out of nowhere? He wanted to ask but did not get an answer. He felt that the two people in front of him had other motives…

But if it was true…

If he missed this opportunity, not only would he not have the Da Ling Emperor in his hands, but he would also not have Empress Dowager Minde… The chances of him ascending to the throne and becoming the Emperor would be lower…

He would even be killed by Fu Ying…

So, would he take that gamble?

At most, if he discovered something was wrong, he would ask his men to stop attacking and retreat.

This was a win-win situation for him.

Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing saw that Fu Xu’s eyes had softened, and they knew that they successfully convinced him…

In the Beicheng Royal Palace, Xue Wuhu played in the square in front of the meeting hall for a while before resting. It was also at this time that he turned around to look at Fu Ying, but he found that Fu Ying was gone. There were only a few palace maids and eunuchs standing there. He immediately carried the flag and ran up the steps to the door of the meeting hall to ask where Fu Ying had gone.

A palace maid replied that Fu Ying had gone to the Empress Dowager’s palace.

Xue Wuhu wanted to go to the Empress Dowager’s Palace to find Fu Ying, but halfway there, he saw Fu Ying already coming out of the Empress Dowager’s Palace. She was standing at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, giving orders to someone. He immediately rushed over.

Just then, Fu Ying had finished giving her orders. The person who was ordered to leave had also left. Xue Wuhu watched as the person left. He then asked excitedly, “What’s wrong?”

“My mother is going to the temple to pray the day after tomorrow. I’m requesting someone from the Ministry of Rites to make arrangements,” Fu Ying said calmly.

“Oh, oh.” Xue Wuhu was extremely excited. “Let me tell you something.”

Without waiting for Fu Ying to react, the chief eunuch had already brought his servants far away.

He was afraid that Xue Wuhu would expose that he was not Ni Dingyuan.

Xue Wuhu was already used to it. He continued, “Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are here, aren’t they? Can I go out of the palace and play with them?”

“You want to leave the palace?”
