Chapter 467: Auspicious Sign From The Heavens

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this point, Noble Consort Ji felt that there was no need to hide anything anymore.

“Emperor Wen.”

The previous Emperor, Emperor Wen, was the current Emperor’s biological brother.

More than 10 years ago, Great Xia faced the greatest crisis in history. When the officials were still choosing princes in the battle team, the current Emperor led the Yan Family to mobilize their troops and took down the princes who were fighting endlessly in the name of “clearing the emperor’s side” and replacing them.

At that time, Noble Consort Ji would still be an unmarried young girl.

When the current Emperor wanted to confer her the title of Noble Consort, it was strongly opposed by the ministers. This was because previously, although she had yet to officially enter the palace, she had a deep relationship with Emperor Wen. If not for the sudden arrival of the Southern Barbarians, she would have entered the palace to be a concubine more than a month later.

However, the current Emperor ignored everyone’s opinions and directly conferred her with the position of Noble Consort.

Noble Consort Ji, who had originally planned to die with Emperor Wen after hearing the news of his death, also agreed to this marriage for the first time.

Noble Consort Ji said this with great difficulty—

“By then, I already had you.”

She could not die. Even if it was for the sake of her child, she had to do her best to survive.

She could not let anyone know that she was pregnant with Emperor Wen’s child, let alone abandon him. However, who would dare to marry the woman the Emperor wanted? If she did not get married, how could she give birth to the child logically?

She had no choice but to enter the palace.

“Your father left that jade pendant for you.”

Emperor Wen said that the position of the mistress of the harem was reserved for the person he loved deeply. That jade pendant was a token and guarantee for the future Crown Prince.

He wanted to leave a surprise for his beloved, so he did not say what was in the treasure vault before the mutiny. After the mutiny, he would never have the chance again.

For many years, Noble Consort Ji was afraid of alerting the enemy and ruining her plan. In addition, it was inconvenient for her to leave the palace, so she had never gone to take a look.

Other than her and the nanny, no one else knew the secret hidden in the jade pendant. Even Yun Yi only knew that it was a token that was more important than his life and could not fall into the hands of others.

After the sorrow, Noble Consort Ji forced herself to quickly regain her rationality.

“Fortunately, you told me. Otherwise…”

Otherwise, who knew what the consequences would be if she relied too much on that treasure vault.

“Oh no!”

Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan were shocked. “What’s wrong?”

Noble Consort Ji paced back and forth. “I once gave a manor to the Empress as a gift.”

“A few days ago, I found out that the Empress planned to make an auspicious omen in the manor, so I got someone to tamper with it. I planned to cause a rift between the Emperor and them, and then…”

Under her son and daughter-in-law’s curious gazes, she had no choice but to finish her rebellious words. “In turn, it will incite the Crown Prince and force him to rebel.”

Rong Yan asked, “What exactly are you hiding?”

Noble Consort Ji also knew that she couldn’t hide it. “The jade seal.”

“I plan to steal the Emperor’s jade seal and hide it in that manor. Then, I’ll lure the Royal Guards to find out. At that time, the Emperor will definitely not let the Crown Prince off when he believes that he has ulterior motives.”

“The Yan Family is ambitious and will definitely not sit back and wait for death. Hence, they will definitely cause trouble.”

Rong Yan still felt that she was hiding something.

The two of them had burning gazes and looked like they would not stop until they asked all the questions. Xiaoxiao said innocently, “Noble Consort, do you know how many regrets in history were caused by one’s companions in the name of ‘for your own good’?”

“Your Highness, do you know how many mistakes are caused by knowing but not knowing completely?”

“Do you know that teammates who can’t trust each other are more lethal than 10 enemies?”

“You know…”

Noble Consort Ji had lost to her, so she could only tell her all her plans.

Indeed, if he only discovered something treasonous in the manor, be it for the sake of father and son, or for the sake of the country, the Emperor would most likely choose to settle the matter peacefully. The Crown Prince might not rebel because of this.

But what if this matter concerned the Emperor’s life?

Xiaoxiao really sighed at Noble Consort Ji’s unbelievable courage because she actually planned to poison the Emperor and let the “assassin” guide the Royal Guards to the Crown Prince’s manor. Then, they would discover the stolen jade seal, the private soldiers and weapons secretly hidden by the Yan Family, and the poisonous grass needed to poison the Emperor.

After hearing all of this, the two of them did not know what to say.

She actually wanted to kill the Emperor.

Xiaoxiao seemed to know why Noble Consort Ji died in her previous life.

Regardless of whether her plan succeeded or not, the Emperor and Empress would not let her off.

She was really amazing.

Rong Yan was shocked. He did not expect to be so “surprised” when he just found out about his mother’s true attitude towards him.

“Have you poisoned him?”

Noble Consort Ji shook her head. “But the jade seal has already been stolen.”

The two of them really admired her mobility.

“Moreover, I’ve already sent someone to the manor. It’s not convenient for me to contact the person in the palace, so we’ve already agreed that as long as the Empress mentions an auspicious sign, the assassins arranged by the palace will use this as a signal and attack directly.”

Hence, the current plan was not to let the Empress present the treasure.

“So what exactly did the Empress prepare?”

Noble Consort Ji said, “The Yan Family bought melon seedlings from the border pass and spent a lot of money to hire the farmers in the border city. Even the soil was dug from the border city. I don’t know what they did, but the word ‘fortune’ vaguely appeared on the melon that grew out.”

“The Yan Family plans to use this as an excuse to let the Emperor appoint the Crown Prince as the heir apparent as soon as possible.”

The Crown Prince was the eldest son of the Empress. Logically speaking, he was the first successor to the throne. However, only by being appointed as the Crown Prince could he truly determine the only inheritance rights.

They were anxious.

“Fortune?”

Rong Yan looked at Xiaoxiao with a strange expression. Was the Yan Family going against her as a “lucky star”?

However, what Xiaoxiao was thinking was, “Has our Little Big Brother Ah Yan been too outstanding recently, making the Crown Prince worry that he’s inferior?”

“That’s true. Little Big Brother is taller, more handsome, does things better than him, has a better reputation than him, and is better than him. It’s no wonder.”

Noble Consort Ji nodded in agreement. Rong Yan:”…”

/(/?uy*/y

However, with Xiaoxiao joking between Noble Consort Ji and Rong Yan, the unfamiliarity that the two of them had accumulated over the years quickly receded. Xiaoxiao asked, “If the Empress gives up on presenting the watermelon with the word ‘fortune’, will we be able to stop what happens next in time?”

Noble Consort Ji nodded, then shook her head. “But the Empress and the Yan Family always keep their word. They’ve already planned this for a long time. No one will change their mind no matter who tries to persuade them.”

Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “It’s fine. Just let them give up.”

Noble Consort Ji originally thought that Xiaoxiao was still young and didn’t know how difficult things were. After a night of fruitless thinking, she heard that Princess An’ning had sent a cart of special melons into the palace the next morning. It was said that they were called “fortune melons”.

So what if there were words on the melon skin? Xiaoxiao directly made a watermelon that looked like the word ‘fortune’ in the space. Wasn’t it just a mold? Planting melons in the space, starting from seeds, was done in a day.

Other than the unique shape, the watermelon that Xiaoxiao planted tasted exactly the same as ordinary watermelons. The Empress had gotten someone to make it, but there were faint glyphs on the watermelon skin. That watermelon was not delicious either. Comparing the two, taking out the watermelon in the manor at this moment was simply embarrassing herself.

Even though she was unwilling, she got someone to instruct the palace maids to cancel the plan.

However, for some reason, when the palace servants who came to serve tea saw the few unique-shaped melons on the Emperor’s table, she still shouted excitedly—

“An auspicious sign from the sky!”
