The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 528 - 469: Prison Robbery (Part 2)

"But now, I think I guessed right!"

"With the power of Uncle Wushang and myself, breaking into the Heavenly Prison is too easy!"

"However, I need your help to open the city gates!"

Yuan Bao was confident he could rescue them, but getting them out of the city would be troublesome.

After all, the emperor wouldn’t let them escape the Capital easily.

"No problem, leave the city gates to me!"

Ying Li listened to Yuan Bao’s request and nodded without hesitation.

...

Meanwhile, in the palace, the Imperial Study Room.

The Eldest Princess looked at Emperor Xia with a face full of concern and said, "Your Majesty, are you thinking of taking this opportunity, while Daxia unifies the world and your prestige increases, to completely capture the Wei Family?"

"Why does Aunt say so?"

Emperor Xia did not directly answer the question posed by the Eldest Princess but instead asked a question in return.

Upon hearing Emperor Xia’s question, the Eldest Princess knew Yuan Bao was right!

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the identity of Princess Jiafu?"

The Eldest Princess looked at Emperor Xia, "That girl is Mr. Ying’s disciple, and in the future, she will be the stabilizing force of our Daxia! If you want to destroy the Wei Family, have you considered what that girl will think or do?"

"I will grant her a marriage!"

When Emperor Xia said this, he essentially admitted his scheme.

He indeed planned to take advantage of Daxia unifying the world, allowing his prestige to peak, to eliminate the Wei Family completely.

In the past, Daxia’s royal family needed the Wei Family for guidance and encouragement. But once Daxia unifies the world, he won’t allow a family like the Wei Family that can rival the royal family to exist.

Daxia’s royal family will be the most noble family under the heavens; all other families can only submit to the royal authority.

Daxia no longer allows such a powerful family to exist.

"Your Majesty, when the cunning hare dies, the hunting dog is cooked; aren’t you afraid of leaving a bad name in history books?"

"Aunt, history books are written by the victors!"

"As long as Daxia unifies the world, the existence of the Wei Family will be completely erased from history books."

"After so many years, isn’t it time for the Wei Family to perish?"

"Your Majesty, I came to see you because your plan has been guessed by Princess Jiafu, and Mr. Ying needs you to give a reasonable explanation!"

"What?!"

Emperor Xia was dumbfounded upon hearing the Eldest Princess’s words.

He had not revealed a trace of his plan; how had it been exposed?

"Aunt, are you serious?"

"Your Majesty, do you think I would joke about this matter?"

The Eldest Princess looked at Emperor Xia, "I know Your Majesty has been wronged by the Wei Family. However, the Wei Family has meritorious service to Daxia; such contributions cannot be erased just because Your Majesty desires it!"

"In your schemes against Beili and Great Yin, you still need the Wei Family to achieve final victory. If you destroy the Wei Family after the world is unified, how will the people see you?"

The Eldest Princess still saw the problem sharply.

Previously, she hadn’t considered Emperor Xia’s intentions toward the Wei Family, so she didn’t think much of it.

But now, realizing Emperor Xia’s intentions, the Eldest Princess could only say that Emperor Xia had lost his mind!

If Emperor Xia truly does this, even if Daxia unifies the world, how long can such a unified state last?

With Beili and Great Yin just defeated, there are bound to be many rebellious forces within these nations; when they rise in rebellion, the Eldest Princess does not believe Daxia without the Wei Family can stabilize the situation.

"Aunt, should we just allow the Wei Family to continue growing strong?"

"Now, the Wei Family is also involved with Mr. Ying. If Mr. Ying supports the Wei Family, then Daxia’s empire might no longer belong to our Tang Family!"

Emperor Xia was unwilling to let this happen.

"Furthermore, how can I not avenge my mother?"

"If I do nothing, how will the world view me?"

Emperor Xia was unwilling, extremely unwilling.

He had used his best efforts to create such a deadly situation; how could he in good conscience stop now?

"Your Majesty, aren’t you partly responsible for the Empress Dowager’s situation?"

The Eldest Princess truly did not spare Emperor Xia’s feelings.

If Emperor Xia hadn’t wanted to use the situation to lure Beili and Great Yin into action and thus hid the truth from the Empress Dowager, how would she choose to end her life in despair?

"Moreover, if the Empress Dowager were still alive, does Your Majesty think she would let go of her obsession?"
