Chapter 20: Oh no! The Consort Yun Wants to Seize Power

Ever since forming an alliance with Consort Hua, Yun Mingzhou had been making frequent visits—whether intentionally or not—to her palace to “pick fights.”

“That Consort Yun is getting more and more arrogant.”

“Exactly! Just because His Highness has favored him a few times, he now dares to provoke even Consort Hua.”

“If the Southern Kingdom hears about this, Consort Yun will be in deep trouble!”

The palace was abuzz with growing whispers and gossip.

In Qingxiang Palace, Mo Hua was getting worried and advised Yun Mingzhou not to go to Huaning Palace anymore.

Yun Mingzhou gave his shoulder a light pat and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

If this were the original Yun Yaofan, that guy would’ve definitely gotten cocky from being favored—thinking that with Murong Zichen backing him, he could go show off in front of Consort Hua. But for Yun Mingzhou, between that dog emperor Murong Zichen and Consort Hua, the latter was clearly the more reliable ally.

If he acted like the original—naively thinking Murong Zichen would always protect him—he’d probably be dead by tomorrow!

Mo Hua clenched his teeth. “Consort Yun, what… are you really planning?” He couldn’t shake the feeling that consort Yun was hiding something.

Mo Hua was a straightforward person, unlike others who played games with words. So, without beating around the bush, he asked bluntly.

“Alright, don’t give me that look! I’ll tell you, come closer.” Yun Mingzhou motioned for him to crouch down and whispered his plan about joining forces with Consort Hua to escape the palace.

Yun Mingzhou trusted Mo Hua’s upright and kind character—he knew he wouldn’t betray him.

After listening to the whole story, Mo Hua finally understood Yun Mingzhou’s recent actions. “So, the reason you often go to Huaning Palace is actually to discuss countermeasures with Her Ladyship?”

Yun Mingzhou nodded.

“You really want to leave this place?”

“What, you think I’m joking? If I have to face that dog emperor Murong Zichen for the rest of my life, I’d rather… I’d rather…”

Normally, this was the kind of moment people would curse themselves, like saying, “If I have to be with so-and-so, I’d rather die.” Yun Mingzhou almost blurted out something like that. But then again, dying for Murong Zichen? That was just not worth it.

“Rather what?” Mo Hua blinked his starry eyes, looking genuinely innocent.

Yun Mingzhou let out a sharp, bold reply: “…I’d rather kill him and become emperor myself!”

Seize the throne? Is consort Yun planning a rebellion?!

Hearing that, Mo Hua was shocked—but also, somehow… a little impressed.

As expected of consort Yun—his conduct was truly exceptional. He wasn’t even afraid of His Majesty!

Seeing the admiration flash in Mo Hua’s eyes, Yun Mingzhuo broke into a cold sweat. No way, did this kid actually believe what he said? Couldn’t this blockhead tell he was only joking?

“Consort Yun, just talk to me about this kind of thing. Make sure no one else hears about it!” Mo Hua frowned, his brows drawn tightly in seriousness.

He really believed it?! Yun Mingzhuo was speechless: “=_= Alright!”

In truth, Yun Mingzhuo hadn’t taken what he said to heart. He was just speaking offhandedly—he didn’t really intend to kill Murong Zichen… But while he had no intention, the listener had taken it seriously!

Ru Yue had originally planned to bring in some tea, but unintentionally overheard Yun Mingzhuo’s “treasonous scheme.” She bit her lip and quietly withdrew.

Yun Mingzhuo had only wanted to tease Mo Hua, unaware that his careless words would once again stir up trouble in the palace!

“Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Consort Yun… Consort Yun is plotting to usurp the throne!” An old eunuch beside Murong Zichen scrambled into the palace, crawling and stumbling as he reported the news.
