Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 397.4: Deal, First Time Planning

Li Hong Yuan gently stroked Jing Wan’s back. He also didn’t want to force Jing Wan to grow, but taking it step by step like this was ultimately better than for certain situations to suddenly occur one day. One has to know, sudden growth was usually always very cruel. Many people simply weren’t able to withstand, and from then on, just crumble down. That kind of feeling, Li Hong Yuan actually couldn’t be more clear. He hoped for Jing Wan to not be that gentle towards the enemy. Those women that throw themselves forward were actually still secondary. Mainly it was still the current state of affairs. He although meticulously strategized, he still wasn’t necessarily able to take care of everything at all times, because he was human, and not a god. Moreover, Wan Wan’s kindness perhaps will get taken advantage of by others.

“This Princess Yi Ning’s following matters, let me handle.”

After all, this Princess Yi Ning wasn’t just a love rival, but also a genuine enemy.

———-Benevolence towards one’s enemy was just cruelty towards oneself. This phrase wasn’t just said for fun, especially between two countries on hostile terms.

“Alright, no problem.” The things that his wife was willing to do, Li Hong Yuan naturally agreed.

“Judging by the current situation, if we don’t accept that Princess Yi Ning, she seemingly will just have death waiting for her, but we also can’t let her die. Since it’s completely impossible for you to accept her, then how about we find someone to take over. This way, we can both preserve her little life, and towards the man taking over, others also won’t dare to comment.”

(T/N: Because she’s a princess, the severity of the rumors are much more serious than for a normal person. Thus, if LHY doesn’t accept her, she can only commit suicide, not just for her own honor, but also to preserve her country’s honor. This way, Former Wei can also use her death as an excuse to wage war against Qi Yuan, which is why they can’t let her die.)

Li Hong Yuan laughed, “Wan Wan, this is wanting to fix me a shu mother?”

“Not doable?” Jing Wan was also full of smiles, “Think about it, for better or worse, she’s still a princess of a country. Becoming a side consort for a powerless qinwang like you, how wronged, but being imperial father’s consort isn’t the same. As long as the position is high enough, then it’ll be giving enough face to Former Wei. After all, it was their princess that was unchaste, but we not only accepted, we even gave her enough honor. If Former Wei doesn’t express anything, then would they not be embarrassed?”

“You’re right.” Li Hong Yuan expressed his approval.

“But for this matter to succeed, I can only say in theory, unable to actually accomplish.”

“Just let the raw rice become cooked rice. There’s nothing difficult about it. This kind of thing on the emperor, that’s purely just a love affair. No one would say anything.” Towards this, Li Hong Yuan was unconcerned.

Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan. About that, shoving someone onto the emperor’s bed, this actually wasn’t anything, and the difficulty indeed wasn’t high, especially for the imperial consorts of the inner palace. When inconvenienced, separately looking for someone to serve on the bed, that was something that couldn’t be more normal. But, Princess Yi Ning wasn’t the same. She wasn’t an ordinary woman, and can’t be casually shoved onto a man’s bed. For the most part, no one would be this daring. And for most, this simply wouldn’t even cross their mind.

Yet, a certain someone said it this nonchalantly. Truthfully speaking, one can’t help but admire.

“In that case, why say you’re going to hand over to me to handle? In the end, still need to rely on Ah Yuan, you.”

“Wan Wan, it’s not that you can’t either, as long as you control the power in this husband’s hand, want to try?” Li Hong Yuan enticed.

Jing Wan blanked. If it’s really like this, then it was directly sharing with her that paramount power. This was indeed attractive, not only coming from being able to stand on an equal level with him, but also coming from that unreserved love. After all, so long as a man has the slightest bit of reservation towards a woman, then he definitely won’t do this kind of thing. “Okay, I also want to see exactly how great of a power Ah Yuan has in hand.”

“En, Wan Wan probably won’t be disappointed.”

As such, this matter was finalized. After Jing Wan came in contact with quite a few of the things Li Hong Yuan was working on, she slowly began coming in contact with the people working under him.

Li Hong Yuan personally organized a list of names for Jing Wan, and this list once again made Jing Wan endlessly shocked. All these years, for the living Enma’s matters to not get exposed at all, Jing Wan had reason to believe that these people were all ‘deathly loyal’. As long as he was willing, he can even ascend the throne right now. Although this might cause quite the turmoil, even possibly causing Qi Yuan to break out into civil war while still having to face foreign aggression. Jing Wan once again observed a moment of silence for his other brothers, as well as Le Cheng Emperor. This was truly too tragic.

With Li Hong Yuan not interfering, Jing Wan will have to rely on her own judgement to determine exactly who to let go carry out this matter. Of course, in order to do this, she needed to sort out the relations inside.

Li Hong Yuan didn’t personally explain for her either, instead having An Yi sent to her. An Yi also didn’t need to take the initiative to say anything, but whatever Jing Wan asked, he needed to say everything he knew. This for Jing Wan was just a test. If there’s any place she didn’t figure out clearly, or overlooked any areas, then this matter all might have a leak. After all, the one they were scheming against was Le Cheng Emperor. Once mishap occurs, it won’t just be getting reprimanded by Le Cheng Emperor, that simple. It was very possible that it will have Li Hong Yuan exposed.

These things, Jing Wan was all very clear about. That’s why, she absolutely can’t be careless and must be extra cautious.

As such, solely just understanding this area of matters, Jing Wan just spent several days. Afterwards, she finally decided on a rough draft. But, at this time, Jing Wan instead felt nervous inside, her palm faintly sweating. It couldn’t be helped. For matter concerning Li Hong Yuan, it was impossible for her to not be nervous, to the extent that she for once produced the feeling of wanting to shrink back.

Would Li Hong Yuan allow her to just shrink back? Absolutely not. “Wan Wan should believe in yourself.”

“This isn’t the problem………..”

“In my eyes, this is precisely where the problem lies. As long as Wan Wan can achieve this bit, it’s enough.”

With Li Hong Yuan being like this, Jing Wan just closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the nervousness and unrest inside already disappeared without a trace, with only determination and fearlessness remaining.

Jing Wan spent another two days, having the plans carefully thought over, polishing over and over again, taking all sides into consideration, and afterwards producing a final plan.

It can be said, this was Jing Wan’s first time spending this much energy to deeply ponder over a matter. That was purely mental exhaustion. But, when actually finishing, it was nevertheless an indescribable kind of sense of accomplishment.

When passing down the final arrangements, Jing Wan glanced to Li Hong Yuan. Li Hong Yuan didn’t say anything, just nodding with a smile.

Jing Wan relaxed a breath, calling over An Yi, passing down the orders one by one.

Li Hong Yuan quietly listened to the side. Jing Wan’s entire planning process, he all didn’t take a single peek at. And when Jing Wan was concentrating on this matter, he also didn’t disturb her, completely just being a man behind her back for once.

Hearing it now, it seems Wan Wan didn’t spend that much effort in vain. As long as no mishap occurs, the final outcome will be perfect. And this possible mishap was just the people carrying out the task making a mistake. However, this wasn’t something that one can absolutely control. But, this already didn’t need for Wan Wan to worry about.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing, originally just needed Li Hong Yuan to pass on an order, and the people below naturally will think of a way to complete. This time, the reason why he let Jing Wan fully take control was also for the sake of letting Jing Wan become familiar with the people and matters. Once she has a full grasp on the big and small matters, handling the blade with ease, then she too will just need to move her lips, just like Li Hong Yuan, overseeing the general direction. After all, if from the start, she were to just use her mouth, then Jing Wan forever won’t be able to truly let the people below Li Hong Yuan willingly submit. Even if they obey Jing Wan’s instructions, it’s also merely due to Li Hong Yuan’s order, and not because of Jing Wan herself. As such, Jing Wan forever won’t be considered to truly stand as Li Hong Yuan’s equal.

The plan was very detailed. The people carrying out the plan just need to be careful, and don’t need to use their brain too much. An Yi also accept the orders quite straightforwardly. This matter, he had watched over from beginning to end. Jing Wan’s efforts, he’d all taken in. The others perhaps would still have doubts, perhaps believing that master was doing too much for wangfei. Even if pampering at the tip of the heart, there was completely no need to be like this. In the past, An Yi perhaps had similar thoughts too, but gradually, this kind of thought disappeared. —————Master and wangfei weren’t an ordinary couple.

Jing Wan went limp all at once, collapsing on Li Hong Yuan’s body, “Ah Yuan, do you think it will succeed?”

“Things have already come this far, there’s no need to worry over it, just need to wait for the final outcome.”
