Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1783: Chapter 1721: Powerful Analysis

Wufu received a message from Ah Jiu, furrowing his brow with a displeased expression.

The Northern Region is largely composed of loess plains and plateaus, with a really poor environment. Could it be that Emperor Yan is sending Ah Jiu to that godforsaken place because he thinks he’s too idle?

As for Emperor Yan himself, with several sons at his disposal, rather than having one of them serve, he keeps sending Ah Jiu. He really knows how to use people to his satisfaction.

When Hua Wushuang came and saw Wufu’s displeased face, he instinctively stepped back. Only after taking two steps back was he called back by Wufu.

He touched his nose and said, "Who offended you?"

"Emperor Yan!"

"Oh, hmm?" Hua Wushuang widened his eyes, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Wufu, with a darkened face, said, "Emperor Yan is sending Ah Jiu to the Northern Region to investigate some corruption case."

"That’s a good thing; it shows that Emperor Yan wants him to accomplish something," Hua Wushuang said. "It’s better than being sidelined. This is an opportunity to insert one’s own people."

As a prince, having some power is far better than having none.

Wufu snorted coldly, "I think he has ulterior motives."

Hua Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

"Whatever the case, he has ulterior motives. Who knows if he’s deliberately sending Ah Jiu away?" Wufu snorted, thought for a moment, and asked, "How reliable is the information you received? How accurate is it?"

"What?"

"The affair between Emperor Yan and Ah Jiu’s royal mother."

Hua Wushuang replied, "The information came from Eagle Hall. If it weren’t reliable, it wouldn’t be easily transmitted. Also, an affair between the emperor and a nation’s empress dowager is an extremely confidential matter. If it hadn’t happened, would it have been made up?"

"Who knows if your Eagle Hall is up to some tricks," Wufu scoffed.

Hua Wushuang looked at her sideways and said, "I’m the Eagle Master of Eagle Hall. Speaking like this in front of me, are you underestimating my authority?"

Wufu chuckled and said, "Great Eagle Master, people are no longer virtuous. Sometimes leaders, those in high positions, have no choice. Have you forgotten your mother?"

Hua Wushuang frowned and said, "Young lady, seeing too clearly isn’t always a good thing."

Wufu rolled her eyes.

Hua Wushuang didn’t continue with the topic and said, "Do you think Emperor Yan deliberately sent him away to eliminate him in the Northern Region?"

Wufu paused for a moment and said, "I hadn’t thought of it in that way. I was just thinking if he’s afraid Ah Jiu would discover his dirty deeds, or perhaps he just doesn’t want Ah Jiu around, so he sent him away."

"He’s the emperor. Whatever he wishes to hide, there’s always a way," Hua Wushuang said.

"But as the saying goes, there’s no wall that doesn’t let the wind through. This mess was discovered by Eagle Hall after all. Now, Ah Jiu knows too," Wufu said, tapping on the table. "I’m afraid that Ah Jiu might alert him while investigating secretly."

This possibility couldn’t be ruled out, and Hua Wushuang also furrowed his brow.

"If that’s truly the case, the possibility of Emperor Yan wanting to harm Ah Jiu becomes even greater!"

Wufu considered from a different perspective, putting herself in Emperor Yan’s position, analyzing what she would do if she were him.

If one’s scandal was discovered, especially by a half-brother, the embarrassment would intensify. To avoid the scandal from unraveling, the only way to hide the truth would be to silence the person, and only the dead can’t speak.

"Are you being paranoid?" Hua Wushuang asked hesitantly.

"Better safe than sorry. Even if that’s not the case, sending Ah Jiu away shows he’s up to something," Wufu looked at him. "At least with Ah Jiu gone, he can’t move around in front of Empress Dowager Mo anymore."

That’s true.

"I’m going to the Northern Region!" Wufu stood up abruptly.
