All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: No One Can Take Her Realm

Hee Wenqian whispered, ”I just find him an eyesore, fearing that the Empress would be displeased because of him.”

Hee Qingshan is just a stinking rat in the ditch, even a glance is disgusting.

Whenever he sees Hee Qingshan now, he recalls those scenes from his childhood. He doesn’t want to remember them, but he does. Each time he sees him, he feels repulsed.

”Your Highness, you’ve been a bit impatient lately.”

Hee Wenqian slowly withdrew his anger, ”Teacher, I’m sorry, I can’t control myself around him.”

He never told anyone that he could remember things from when he was one or two years old. Such filthy memories would taint his teacher and the Empress.

”Perhaps you should go out for a walk,” Xun Zihuai suggested, ”Always staying in the Imperial Palace is akin to building a car behind closed doors. You’re meant to be a king one day, you’ll need to learn more about the outside world. After Your Majesty finishes her sword practice, I will propose that she allows you to go out for a walk.”

”Thank you, teacher.”

Hee Wenqian did not refuse; he also wanted to see for himself. He knew that to be a good king and not let the Empress down, he would need to exert ten or even one hundred times more effort. Xun Zihuai was his teacher, and every step the man took was a serious lesson for him.

Later, Qiann Yan listened to Xun Zihuai’s suggestion and agreed to let him take Hee Wenqian out to gain experience. To ensure their safety, she discreetly arranged many experts, both in plain sight and hidden.

”The news of your outing can’t be kept secret, be careful,” Qiann Yan cautioned, knowing there were risks involved when going out, yet she did not mean to stop them.

Hee Wenqian’s growth inevitably involves blood and storm. Only by experiencing these can he become more mature; his path is destined not to be smooth.

Over the years, Hee Qingshan likely still had some personnel under his command. If they didn’t reveal themselves, it would be difficult to root them out. Now that Hee Qingshan had endured enough, it was time for them to be exposed.

The next day, Xun Zihuai took Hee Wenqian out of the palace.

As soon as they left the palace, Hee Qingshan received the news, ”It’s a great opportunity; inside the palace, I couldn’t do anything. Arranging an accident outside the palace is not difficult.”

”The pretty-faced State Preceptor doesn’t know martial arts, and Hee Wenqianis just a child barely over ten, not worthy of fear. However, Qiann Yan must have arranged experts to protect them. But outside the palace, even an abundance of experts can face unexpected situations. I’ll arrange several waves of people, employ all sorts of methods, and refuse to believe these two will return safely.”

”Eliminate the pretty-faced State Preceptor, and as for Hee Wenqian, just capture him. He’s Qiann Yan’s own flesh and blood; with him as a threat, let’s see if she’ll surrender the throne willingly.”

Ling Shishi was still a bit worried, ”Great King, can this really work? Are the people under your command reliable?”

”Don’t worry, ever since it became inevitable that Qiann Yan would become emperor, I’ve had those people lying low; now many of them have entered the court as officials. I have plenty of usable people, so long as they don’t reveal themselves, no one knows they’re mine. Last time exposed one, but it was just to test the waters, and indeed that civil servant was marginalized by Qiann Yan.”

”All of this is because the pretty-faced State Preceptor is scheming in the background. As long as he’s eliminated, Qiann Yan is nothing; all she knows is wielding a sword. Can she truly rule a country or employ talents? I’ve known her since childhood, and we’ve been married for so many years, how could I not understand?”

Hee Qingshan issued orders one after another, instructing those below him to act in unison; whatever happened, Xun Zihuai must not return. In the end, with a hard heart, he decided that Hee Wenqian could also be removed if causing trouble.

After all, he wasn’t the successor he favored; his body carried half of Qiann Yan’s blood, and keeping him around was purposeless and troublesome.

Three months later, Xun Zihuai returned to the palace with Hee Wenqian unharmed.

Hee Qingshan, upon finding out, couldn’t believe it at all.

How could this be?

They returned unharmed?

However, what happened next was even more unacceptable to him.
