Chapter 906: Success is Due to Xiao He, Failure is Due to Xiao He

Queen Inhyeon was furious.

These people from the Min Family also glared with wide, angry eyes, one by one.

Regarding the principle that men and women should not touch when handing things to one another, Liu Zhen's words had already crossed a taboo.

Queen Inhyeon was even more unable to bear the humiliation, tears shimmering: "Li Xuanya, is this the Young Master Liu you are so infatuated with? Is even he here to humiliate me!"

After saying this, she actually wanted to throw herself to the side and dash her head against something to die.

"Empress Mother!"

"Your Highness!"

A group of people were startled.

Liu Zheng was also caught between laughter and tears, while at the same time feeling renewed respect for Inhyeon in his heart, and he hurriedly said with an apologetic face: "Your Highness has misunderstood; Liu Zheng has not the slightest improper thought. What Liu Zheng says comes from the bottom of my heart; this time, I have truly come to help Your Highness return to the palace."

"You yellow-mouthed brat!"

"Just by relying on you?"

Only then did Queen Inhyeon steady her figure.

"Boastful nonsense!"

Liu Zheng, however, smiled slightly: "Since it is already like this, why not dare to give it a try?"

"You—"

The people of the Min Family, one by one, began to mock him.

It is no wonder they were suspicious; it was truly because this Liu Zheng was too young. They believed that Liu Zheng fundamentally did not understand the deep waters and scorching fires of the Li Dynasty; the Li Dynasty was too complex. With Min Weizhong dead like this, for their Westerner Party, it was simply a devastating blow.

In the current situation, could there be anything worse than this?

The look in Queen Inhyeon's eyes as she watched Liu Zheng also flickered with contemplation.

These people of the Min Family were left dejected one by one by Liu Zheng's words.

That's right.

Li Xuanya was overjoyed, pulled Liu Zheng, and walked toward Yingmei An.

These people of the Min Family were still very cautious; with a clatter, they shut the door.

"Come in and speak!"

Queen Inhyeon pondered for a moment and said indifferently.

A three-year mourning period is the bare minimum.

Because it was a place where past Queens lived, the environment inside Yingmei An was actually quite decent, elegant and refined, and the courtyard was not small. There were already a few nuns waiting here in Yingmei An, and they greeted Inhyeon one after another. This was naturally due to Queen Inhyeon having won the hearts of the people over these years; another reason was that there had truly been too many examples of deposed Queens who made a comeback to the palace from here, so these people naturally did not dare to kick a deposed Queen while she was down.

Yingmei An was still quite famous in the Li Dynasty, because every deposed Queen, or a Queen after a monarch died, would become a nun here for a period of time; only after the three-year mourning period passed could they return to the palace, while those whose titles were stripped would return to their ancestral homes.

This time, Queen Inhyeon had been deposed again, and her father had died.

Queen Inhyeon did not mind, and slowly sat cross-legged.

The maid serving by her side had already begun to brew tea.

Queen Inhyeon also returned the greeting, and only then did this group of people slowly arrive at her bedroom.

At first glance, this bedroom was not much different from a bedroom in the palace; it just had an extra layer of coldness amidst the elegance and simplicity.

Queen Inhyeon's voice sounded very comfortable, gentle yet intellectual.

Liu Zheng, however, felt his whole body tremble upon hearing it.

Liu Zheng sat there without rushing to speak. He knew that Queen Inhyeon had just arrived here and still needed a psychological adjustment phase.

Who would have thought that before long, Queen Inhyeon would already speak: "There are many people with loose tongues outside, so I hope Vice Minister Liu will forgive me. This time when the King feigned illness, it was you who awakened him, is that not so? Otherwise, the King would have been in real danger this time."

Because very few people knew about this matter.

Li Xuanya had not even told her own mother, but at this moment, Queen Inhyeon saying it out loud caused a trace of wariness to rise in Liu Zheng's heart.

It turned out that this Queen Inhyeon was not as simple or naive as she appeared on the surface.

Suddenly, Liu Zheng was a bit unable to grasp Queen Inhyeon's stance.

What did these words mean?

If this Queen Inhyeon were wholeheartedly devoted to Li Tun, that would be easy to talk about.

A television drama is a television drama, and real history is real history. No matter how a television drama tells it, there are exaggerated elements.

Therefore, Liu Zheng felt suspicious at this moment about what kind of person this Queen Inhyeon really was.

Once Queen Inhyeon's words came out, several people from the Min Family glared over one after another, and the atmosphere in the room became much heavier.

So it was this brat who caused the trouble! Otherwise, it was very possible that their Min Family boy would already be royalty!

If this Queen Inhyeon had herself tacitly approved of her father's rebellious behavior, then at this moment...

Sure enough.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and tried his best to make himself smile: "Your Highness is in the palace and should know that the King has always been extremely wary of the Min Family. Especially your father; if he did not die, the King would not be able to eat or sleep in peace. This time, when he feigned illness, regardless of whether I had warned him or not, what he was waiting for was for your father to lose his reason and commit an act of rebellion. It is evident that even if I had not informed the King, with his wisdom, he would have already made arrangements regarding the Taimiao matter."

Queen Inhyeon looked deeply at Liu Zheng.

The people of the Min Family all thought this way.

Several of the younger ones wished they could draw their blades on the spot and chop off Liu Zheng's head.

Only then did Liu Zheng heave a sigh of relief.

At this moment.

She watched the expression on this young man's face with every word he spoke.

After another moment of silence, she chuckled and sighed: "This is indeed the first time I have seen the King like this. Over these years, he has indeed been wronged. My father actually harboring treacherous intentions—he brought this upon himself."

Everyone felt a shock in their hearts.

Inhyeon, however, was calm and smiled: "There must be quite a few people who want my life right now; there is no need to be concerned."

Suddenly, some noisy sounds rang out from outside the courtyard.

The person leading the team of the Min Family protecting Inhyeon was a young man named Min Cheng. He ran out, then returned with a guarded expression and said, "Your Majesty, there are suddenly more footmen and merchants outside; it seems those who have come are not here with good intentions!"

The Southern Faction would naturally not let such an opportunity to kick a man when he is down pass them by.

At this moment, Queen Inhyeon spoke again: "Does Vice Minister Liu think we still have any chance?"

Min Cheng wanted to say something but stopped, and he did not speak.

Only then did Liu Zheng realize why Queen Inhyeon had been so rude to him at the entrance of Yingmei An today; it was truly a case of walls having ears, and with her throne being deposed, she herself would also face various forms of harassment and assassination.

Just as he had said, the Southern Faction coming to power would not benefit him either; the Southern Faction had received instructions from certain people over in Longyan to kill him. Right now, he reckoned Li Hang and Zhang Xuan were in the middle of taking over the power of the imperial court, and once they caught their breath, he feared his own life would be under threat.

Therefore.

It had finally arrived!

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

Consequently.

He smiled indifferently and said: "There is an old saying in Longyan: success is due to Xiao He, and failure is also due to Xiao He."

He did not intend to let the Southern Faction catch their breath.

He intended to accelerate the course of history a little.

"Applied to the current Li Dynasty, it means: success is due to political power, and failure is also due to political power."

He looked at Queen Inhyeon's well-maintained face and asked softly: "What does the Queen think?"

"What?"

Queen Inhyeon looked shocked.

"You mean to say"
