Chapter 74 The Queen Wants to Cooperate with Jun Lintian

"What if you agree? What if you don't agree?"

Emperor Zhou sneered and said, "If they know what's good for them, it'll be fine. If not, I don't mind turning the Xuanwu Empire into a subsidiary empire of the Great Zhou!"

At this moment, Emperor Zhou's voice was filled with grimness, and he had obviously developed murderous intent.

He is not a fool. He has been keeping an eye on every move of the Jun family. As long as the time is right, the military power controlled by the Jun family will immediately return to his hands.

To this end, he secretly won over many military generals and of course promised them a lot of benefits.

But as long as he could get the military power, this little benefit was not worth mentioning in his opinion.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhou was unwilling to elaborate, the intelligent Su Ruyun did not ask any more questions. She simply ran her jade hand over his great sword and praised him coquettishly.

As a woman, she is not interested in military affairs, she just wants to be a good little woman.

She had only one goal, which was to firmly secure her position in Emperor Zhou's heart and make him unable to leave her.

"Fairy!"

Seeing Su Ruyun's actions, Emperor Zhou knew what this little vixen was thinking, so he patted Su Ruyun on her butt and laughed.

"Your Majesty, you are so evil!"

Feeling the pain in her buttocks, Su Ruyun gently raised her beautiful eyes and gave Emperor Zhou a coquettish look.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Su Ruyun's charming appearance, Emperor Zhou burst into laughter and hugged her in his arms.

Soon, the two began to exchange life stories.

After a long while, Su Ruyun leaned on his chest, drawing circles and said, "Your Majesty, you are so annoying!"

"Oh? I hate you? Then Yun'er, what do you like about me?"

"I hate that thing of yours!"

"So do you like it?"

"dislike!"

"So what do you like about me?"

"Your Majesty is disgusting in every way!"

"Haha, really? I'll try it again tonight and see if you like it!"

An evil arc appeared at the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth, and he once again had a life exchange with Su Ruyun.

The next day, early in the morning.

When the morning sun rose, Emperor Zhou opened his sleepy eyes and stretched.

Then, he lowered his head to look at Su Ruyun beside him, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and said, "Are you awake? Yun'er!"

At this time, Su Ruyun was lying lazily beside him with her beautiful eyes closed, her pretty face flushed.

Last night, she was forced by Emperor Zhou to have a life exchange, and she almost fainted because it happened too many times.

At this time, although I woke up, I even had difficulty raising my arms.

"Your Majesty, please don't. I am so tired!"

Su Ruyun lay there like a dead fish, motionless.

"Haha, then take a rest and continue in the evening!"

Emperor Zhou gently pinched Su Ruyun's pretty nose, smiled dotingly, then put on his clothes and left the bedroom.

Watching the departing figure of Emperor Zhou, Su Ruyun bit her red lips and whispered, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to still favor the eldest prince. Don't blame me then."

Through the conversation between Eunuch Li and Emperor Zhou last night, Su Ruyun heard that Emperor Zhou was planning to let the eldest prince marry Xuan Ling'er, the nineteenth princess of the Xuanwu Empire. You should know that Xuan Ling'er is the legitimate daughter of the Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire (born to the Queen), and her status is extremely noble.

The purpose of Emperor Zhou letting the eldest prince marry Xuan Ling'er was obviously to make him the crown prince of Zhou.

How could she accept this?
She was the queen, and her son should have been made the crown prince. However, Emperor Zhou showed no signs of appointing a crown prince in all these years, and instead placed more hope on the eldest prince.

Although the eldest prince was indeed extremely talented and strongly recommended the employment of young men from poor families, he was supported by the prime minister and many other civil officials, who said that the eldest prince had the demeanor of a benevolent monarch.

If the Emperor of Zhou appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince, it might be a good thing for the Great Zhou, but it would be a huge disaster for both mother and son.

Because, if that happens, her position in the palace will completely collapse, and her son, the second prince, will only be able to become an ordinary vassal king.

Therefore, Su Ruyun firmly believed that the position of crown prince must belong to her son and must not be taken away by the eldest prince.

Whether for her son or her own future, she must find a helper!
The first person that came to her mind was Jun Lintian.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Since Jun Lintian has become enemies with the eldest prince, as long as she joins forces with Jun Lintian, he will definitely help her get rid of the eldest prince and let her son take the throne of the crown prince!

As for Emperor Zhou, Su Ruyun knew his character very well. Although he doted on her on the surface, he was actually very overbearing and authoritarian. Once he made a decision, he would not allow anyone to refute or change it.

Only when the eldest prince died would Emperor Zhou turn his attention to his son.

There are only benefits for me to cooperate with Jun Lintian. As for the cooperative relationship between them, as long as I am careful, even if I am discovered, I can just say that Jun Lintian took the initiative to find me.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Su Ruyun smiled faintly, slowly got up and returned to her Kunning Palace, where she washed up, changed into her most beautiful clothes, and asked the palace maids to dress her up carefully.

The purpose is naturally to leave a good impression on Jun Lintian and promote cooperation with Jun Lintian.

---------

Jun’s mansion.

It was as if nothing had happened last night, and Jun Lintian was still leisurely drinking tea in his garden.

"Young Master, according to an insider in the palace, it is said that Eunuch Li went to His Majesty's bedroom last night, went in with a sad face, and came out happily."

Jun Mengyao, who was standing by, was reporting to Jun Lintian earnestly, "And last night, Eunuch Li sent several imperial guards out of the imperial court at full speed, heading towards the borders and the Xuanwu Empire."

"Border? Xuanwu Empire?"

Hearing this, Jun Lintian raised his eyebrows, and then sneered: "It seems that Emperor Zhou can't wait any longer. Since Emperor Zhou wants to play, let's play with him to the end!"

He didn't expect that Emperor Zhou would be so impatient and want to deal with his Jun family so quickly.

Don’t you even think about who Jun Lintian is?

He is a time traveler who has read the original novel carefully and knows the plot of the novel like the back of his hand.

The reason why Emperor Zhou wanted to take action against his Jun family was simply because he was afraid that his Jun family would monopolize power and threaten his throne.

Under this background, it would be understandable if Emperor Zhou took action in advance.

"Young Master, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Jun Mengyao frowned slightly and said with some concern.

"Just wait and see what happens!"

Jun Lintian grinned and said jokingly, "Send a message to my father. Once the people on the list I gave him make any trouble, kill them immediately. I want to see what kind of waves Emperor Zhou can stir up!"

He was in no rush to make a move.

After all, they are in the dark now, while Emperor Zhou is in the light. Although he knows in advance that those people will be detrimental to the Jun family, if he rashly kills people without evidence, the image of his Jun family in the army will be damaged.

Therefore, he chose to wait for the opportunity and act when the time comes.

"Young Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

Just then, a guard hurried over and reported to Jun Lintian.
