Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 213 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with

Su Jinyue subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Jing'an while shaking her head.

"I won't leave. I came here to save you. Wherever you are, I will be there!"

Su Jinyue thought to herself, and only after she finished speaking did she look up at Xiao Jing'an, not missing the slight smile on Xiao Jing'an's lips.

Then, Su Jinyue further agreed to three rules with Xiao Jing'an.

"But, Xiao Jing'an, the premise for me to be with you is that we only have each other in our hearts!"

If I ever find out that you have someone else in your heart, I might really turn you into someone like Li Derang!

Xiao Jing'an's smile remained unchanged. He lowered his head and touched Su Jinyue's forehead, saying affectionately, "What a greedy girl!"

Su Jinyue thought he was going to refuse, and immediately became unhappy. She struggled to get out of Xiao Jing'an's embrace.

But Xiao Jing'an held her waist tightly, preventing her from leaving, and continued, "However, I agree."

Before Su Jinyue could react, Xiao Jing'an had already agreed to something, and his burning lips were already pressed against hers.

As their lips met, Su Jinyue understood Xiao Jing'an's meaning, and then she happily responded to his enthusiasm...

Halfway through the conversation, Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an ended up on the bed.

When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Xiao Jing'an called for water, tidied up, and the two of them lay back down on the bed to talk about serious matters.

Xiao Jing'an put his arm around Su Jinyue's smooth shoulder and asked lazily, "So, Jinyue, you have the ability to plunder other people's systems and even make them your own?"

Su Jinyue thought for a moment and replied, "More or less, but in reality, most of the functions of those systems are useless. Most of them are unorthodox methods, tools used to seduce you."

It's basically a Taobao system where you can buy things that didn't exist in ancient times, so it's somewhat useful.

"So you also have a way to take over Empress Jiang Lingyao's system?"

"Well," Su Jinyue fidgeted with her fingers a little guiltily, but she didn't want to lie to Xiao Jing'an, so she finally answered honestly.

"Actually, I had already taken action when Jiang Lingyao left Qianqing Palace. Now Jiang Lingyao's system is gone."

Xiao Jing'an raised an eyebrow in surprise, but upon closer inspection, he wasn't entirely surprised.

Su Jinyue is a vengeful person. She had already said that she was there to protect him, but Jiang Lingyao blatantly drugged her and slapped her in the face, so she would naturally retaliate.

Although being protected by a woman like this was beneath his dignity as an emperor, Xiao Jing'an was quite pleased with himself and was happy to have Su Jinyue protecting him.

From a young age, he was a pitiful little guy that everyone could kick. He learned then that no one could be trusted except himself.

But deep down, Xiao Jing'an still hoped that someone would protect and love him.

Now, such a person has finally come to his side.

Xiao Jing'an kissed Su Jinyue's forehead and praised, "My Jinyue is so amazing! I'll rely on you to protect me then."

Su Jinyue nudged Xiao Jing'an shyly. She knew that her Xiao Jing'an was still very capable, but in ancient times he had lost the means to deal with superpowers like the system.

Now that Su Jinyue can deal with the system, Xiao Jing'an can go all out and make a big splash.

"Xiao Jing'an, who do you want to take down next?"

Upon closer examination, there are actually quite a few obstacles to Xiao Jing'an taking power.

However, there are mainly two groups: one is the ruling faction led by Grand Secretary Chiang Kai-shek, and the other is the imperial family and relatives.

The ruling faction was established when the previous emperor passed away, in order to ensure the smooth ascension of the next emperor.

When Xiao Jing'an first ascended the throne, his power base was not yet stable, and he was in mourning. He had not cultivated his own network of connections in the court before, so he was naturally no match for the Grand Secretary and others.

Members of the royal family also comprised a large portion of the court, and these people were outwardly allegiance to Xiao Jing'an.

In reality, a large portion of the royal family members had been won over by Xiao Mohan, while the remaining members secretly supported Xiao Jingrui.

Of these two factions, very few support Xiao Jing'an.

In the imperial court, apart from some opportunists, only the neutral faction remained.

There's no need to worry about these people. As long as Xiao Jing'an subdues the two factions above, the rest will naturally submit.

Xiao Jing'an's only consolation was that the Imperial Guards protecting the capital were still under his control, and the Prefect of Jingzhao, who was also Su Jinyue's nominal father, was still trustworthy.

Xiao Jing'an pondered for a while before speaking: "Currently, affairs in the court are going smoothly. Empress Jiang Lingyao is temporarily untouchable, but without the system, she will likely behave herself these days."

I want to deal with Prince Han, Xiao Mohan, first. He is an extremely unstable factor. He even secretly instigated the Wei family to replace the legitimate heir with a concubine and lured Consort Wei to pass on messages from the palace.

Currently, Xiao Mohan's weakness is the easiest to exploit, and a good opportunity will arise in a few days!

Su Jinyue, as if on the same wavelength, also thought of it: "You mean, the New Year's palace banquet?"

Xiao Jing'an nodded: "Yes, during the New Year, members of the royal family will come to the palace to attend the palace banquet. That will be the most chaotic time in the palace. Xiao Mohan will definitely take this opportunity to meet with Consort Wei."

I have now figured out their channels for transmitting messages. As soon as they make contact, I will be able to catch them red-handed!

Even if they don't contact each other, I can still pass messages between them and arrange for them to meet up...

Su Jinyue thought that this plan was feasible.

Wei Changzai, also known as Wei Xueying, had made a huge fool of herself during her dance performance and lost her system.

Unable to win Xiao Jing'an's favor, Wei Xueying would definitely cling to Xiao Mohan as her lifeline, and besides, she truly loves Xiao Mohan.

However, Su Jinyue looked up at Xiao Jing'an with a strange expression: "Xiao Jing'an, Wei Xueying is still your concubine. Aren't you afraid of losing face if this secret meeting with another man is exposed?"

Xiao Jing'an smiled and said indifferently, "The Wei Changzai I appointed is Wei Yanxi, the legitimate daughter of the Wei family. The Wei family is using a concubine to replace the legitimate daughter, and I still have to punish him. Losing face is also losing face for the Wei family and Xiao Mohan!"

Su Jinyue shrugged. Fine, since Xiao Jing'an doesn't care, then so be it.

Moreover, using this one scandalous incident to curb Xiao Mohan's power and to deal with him legitimately is worthwhile.

However, this doesn't seem to be enough.

Su Jinyue excitedly shared her thoughts on the great items available on Taobao with Xiao Jing'an.

"Xiao Jing'an, I've got a great idea! Xiao Mohan is able to win over the royal family members, so he must have shared the benefits with them."
