Chapter 992: Causing havoc at Yu Family

Chapter 992: Causing havoc at Yu FamilyFar from the main market of the town, Xian Zhenya was sitting inside the secret room of the house which belonged to Magistrate Li. With a cup of steaming tea in front of her, Xian Zhenya looked at Magistrate Li whose eyes were red with tears.

" Stop crying, I am not dead yet," Xian Zhenya spoke through her mouth which had a scar running on the side.

Magistrate Li wiped her tears and then stated in a quiet voice, " Sure you are not dead your Highness but your condition is even worse than those who died in the usurp of the throne. You have lost an eye and your injuries are yet to heal, what are you doing with your body? Why didn't you pay attention to your situation?"

Xian Zhenya sighed and then countered, " Do you think I did not want to? I have been trying to settle down ever since I came to this town but Xieren's women keep sniffing my tracks like guard dogs. I can't even let my guard down much less recuperate."

This was indeed the case though Magistrate Li and Qiao Sha were working together to make sure that Xian Xieren's soldiers would stay out of the town which was under Magistrate Li's governance, it was clear that their efforts were not working as those women even after getting chased out of the town would return in a day or two. n0velusb.c0m

" Then what are your thoughts? If you don't recover then how will you guide the army to victory?" Magistrate Li had been arranging for soldiers who were willing to fight under Xian Zhenya's orders. However gathering soldiers was one thing and training them was another, unless Xian Zhenya was to take charge nothing was going to happen.

" You don't have to worry," Xian Zhenya's eyes flickered and she clenched her fingers on her lap. She thought that Xian Xieren would at least wait for their mother to die before usurping the throne but what she never expected was that Xian Xieren would turn out to be even more of a snake than she thought that woman was. Not only did that woman kill the Empress but she even locked the Imperial City in fear that Xian Zhenya would come attacking.

But this was also a fortunate thing, as Xian Xieren knew that her status as the Empress was unstable, she wouldn't leave the Imperial City and even though her soldiers were out in the open looking for her, in the end, their strength and power were limited. They could only do a little while being pushed into a corner by Magistrate Li and Qiao Sha.

" Just continue what you are doing, the condition of the Imperial City is not stable at the moment as long as we continue to take care of those people sent by Xian Xieren, sooner or later she will stop as she would want to save her soldiers," she pursed her lips and then curled them into a mocking smile. " Though Xian Xieren is not considerate towards her subordinates, she is not a fool either. She knows that just because she holds the crown of the Empress, doesn't make her one. I know my sister and with my understanding of her, she knows that she is not in control yet——"

" If that is what you want then very well," Magistrate Li nodded before picking up the teacup in front of her and taking a sip from it. She then pursed her lips and then asked in a low voice, " How are the two consorts? Are they doing well?"

Upon being questioned about her husbands, Xian Zhenya's eyes softened as a hint of guilt etched on her face. She shook her head and then stated quietly, " No, consort Ren's condition is still the same as usual. Though he is working in the houses of others, his body is still weak and consort Jiang can't even get up from his bed." She sighed and rubbed her forehead. " I just hope that the two of them will get better soon."

Magistrate Li pursed her lips as she also showed her concern for the two consorts. " Can I do something for you?"

Xian Zhenya hesitated and upon seeing her hesitation, Magistrate Li couldn't help but frown as she said, " What is it?"

" Consort Jiang had lost his child ...as you already know —— his situation was not that good to begin and with his will to live flickering, his condition is only getting even worse," Xian Zhenya clenched her fists as she looked at Magistrate Li and then asked, " I heard that Yun Xuan is hiding in the village where you have started your development plan —— can you think of a way to send Consort Jiang there? I will think of a way to send Consort Ren with him."

Magistrate Li's brows furrowed and she couldn't help but say, " But that village is already hiding Yun Xuan and Headmaster Situ. I don't think that it will be all right for you to send the two consorts to the village as well,"

" You don't understand," Xian Zhenya sighed and then stated, " They are after me, so as long as the consorts are sent I can easily recuperate. I can't even go out of the house while worrying about the two of them, if this goes on then we can just wait here to die."

....

On the other hand, someone was knocking at the door of the Yu family, while shouting at the top of her voice, " Shen Li! Come out! If your wife is a woman then I want you to come out right now!"

The series of curses that rang outside the door of the Yu family startled the entire village, many villagers stopped working in their fields and then rushed to see what was going on but this did not include Shen Li and Fang Chi.

Yu Dong has taught them that unless she wasn't at home, they shouldn't open the door for anyone who came to them with the intention of causing havoc!

Thus they stayed inside the house but no matter how much they ignored the woman outside the latter did not stop instead her curses started to become even more vulgar!
