To Act as the Regent Queen [12]

But suddenly, a Regent has dropped from the sky and into the royal court of Bei Mu.

The new Regent has disturbed a pond of muddy water and stirred up the waves, causing murderous intent to be hidden in all four corners.

However, among the ordinary people, Liu Yues prestige has skyrocketed as the millions of rations and fodder, cattle and sheep, cloth, and gold have arrived.

The person who gives them food to eat will be their mother. As the emperor of Bei Mu, its the emperors duty to let the people of Bei Mu live well. Liu Yue had allowed them to eat till theyre full so no one opposed the Regent among the people and various forces even though shes an outsider.

Hows the situation regarding empress dowager, Liu Yue deeply said. She was sitting in Bei Mus main palace, Flying Dust Palace.

I will do my best. Ouyang Yu Fei didnt say that its going to okay but he also didnt say that its impossible. He only said he will do his best. This meant that his chances of saving the empress dowager arent big.

When Liu Yue heard that, she muttered to herself for a split second. Liu Yue knows how bad Empress Dowager Xiaos injury is.

Is the assassin dead? She immediately changed the topic.

Yes, Li Kuo answered. His face was full of grief as he clenched his teeth and said: The assassin was immediately killed. The assassin was one of the Huns.

Liu Yue wrinkled her eyebrows, thinking, such impulsive people. They wouldnt even leave one person alive. They have lost many clues and opportunities since the assassin is already dead.

This enmity, we must repay it.

Yes, we must, Ku Za Mu and Li Kuo said in unison. Their faces were both ashen.

Liu Yue listened to them and then waved her hand. She said: Of course we will repay their enmity. However, it wont be right now. Since they have dared to take action, they must have preparation. It wont be appropriate if we suddenly go and attack them. I will think of a plan myself.

Ku Za Mu and Li Kuo both admire Liu Yues ability to calmly develop a strategy. So when they heard that, they clenched their teeth and didnt utter another word.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly sank into silence.

Tomorrow is the end of the year. In accordance with the usual practice, the Flying Dust Palace must host a big feast for the civil and military officials as well as the various clans. Chen Lin, who has been following the Chief of Internal Affairs suddenly interjected and said: This matter is supposed to be handled by the emperor. In the past, it was organized by Empress Dowager Xiao. But this year, Prince Qin, Yelu Ji has suddenly taken over the role. What do you think, Regent?

T/N: Huns is the English term for Xiong Nu.
