The Training of a Noble Lady - Chapter 60: Schemes

Li Zhiyi looked at her two fair and delicate hands, which were covered in a thick, sticky substance. Her palms were red from being rubbed together. The strange, hard, and hot sensation of the substance, as well as the feeling of it moving through her hands, seemed to still linger there, impossible to shake off.
This feeling was so... strange. She felt like her hand didn't even belong to her anymore. If she closed her eyes and didn't look, the image was etched into her mind, looping endlessly, and it was incredibly shameful. She had actually been fooled by his pitiful appearance, believing his story about holding back for months and his lies about feeling unwell without relief.
The culprit beside her chuckled with satisfaction, pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere, took her wrist, and slowly began to wipe her hands.
Li Zhiyi took a closer look.
This is her handkerchief...
She quite liked it... She embroidered it for two days.
Li Zhiyi's lips tightened slightly: "This handkerchief seems to..."
"Yes, I found it in your shirt."
Her top had long been torn to shreds and was buried in the equally messy bed, leaving her only in a small undershirt and a bodice.
Li Zhiyi pulled her clothes tighter with one hand: "Doesn't the Marquis have a handkerchief of his own?"
Tang Wenxu bit her smooth earlobe: "I was just trying to help you wipe your hands, and you're being so particular."
Li Zhiyi retorted, "But these are all yours..."
"Huh? My what?"
Li Zhiyi whispered out two words.
Tang Wenxu, engrossed in teasing her, said, "How can it be filth?" He propped his head up and lay on his side beside her, his shirt slightly open, revealing a small patch of his muscular chest with several suggestive light red marks, exuding extreme charm.
She stroked his slightly protruding belly: "Otherwise, how did this child come about?" Judging by the dates, it must have been the time he 'sneaked back' to the Marquis's mansion to steal his essence, using a jade dildo to completely block out his semen. Knowing her personality, that jade dildo is probably already lost somewhere.
"Isn't Your Excellency still going to the palace to meet the Emperor? Don't be late."
"Why don't you call me husband anymore?"
"The way you called out just now was quite melodious." Especially before she reached her climax with a slightly trembling voice, she subconsciously called out to him under his coaxing, which almost made him lose control.
Li Zhiyi felt something stirring again in her lower back, and immediately shuddered. Her legs were still weak. If it weren't for the little one in her belly, she probably would have been dragged to bed with him all day.
Li Zhiyi was right; it was indeed time. Tang Wenxu stopped bothering her, had someone come in to tidy up, changed his clothes, and had a light breakfast with Li Zhiyi before heading to the palace.
The palace, now under new rule, has a completely new look. The Jade Palace, which was burned to the ground on the night of the palace coup, has not yet been rebuilt and remains in a desolate state of ruins, with faint traces of that bloody struggle.
Tang Wenxu was on his way to the Imperial Study when it was time for the court session to end. Many familiar faces had disappeared, and several unfamiliar faces had appeared. Judging from their attire and official rank, they were not high-ranking, but their positions were quite mysterious.
When the court officials met Tang Wenxu, the scene became even more delicate. Some watched coldly, while others were overly respectful. A couple of old ministers stood out, making subtle remarks in just a few words, but Tang Wenxu ignored them. These pedantic old fellows weren't really worried about his growing power; they just wanted to show off their special status, which he despised the most.
"My lord."
After casually dealing with a series of officials, Tang Wenxu ran into his father-in-law.
Upon seeing his father-in-law, Tang Wenxu couldn't be casual. He returned the greeting formally: "Father-in-law." The last time he accompanied Li Zhiyi back to the Li residence, he was severely scolded by his father-in-law. It was the first time Tang Wenxu had directly witnessed how venomous his learned and eloquent father-in-law, a high-ranking official, could be when he scolded someone. He didn't dare to talk back and could only obediently accept the scolding. Seeing his father-in-law's cold face now, he still felt a bit traumatized.
Li Changlin cut to the chase: "How is the Lady Marquis's health?"
Tang Wenxu readily agreed and was quite humble: "This son-in-law went back to the manor early this morning to check on you, and both your wife and the baby in your womb are well."
Li Changlin's expression softened a bit: "When the time is right, we might as well have my wife take Madam to the hot spring resort in the suburbs for a few days. During this time, Madam has been on tenterhooks, it's time for her to relax a bit, which will also be good for the baby." Li Changlin wasn't a gossipy person, but his wife really missed their daughter, and he also felt sorry for her. Knowing that Tang Wenxu was going to the palace to meet the emperor today, he deliberately waited a step behind to intercept him.
"Of course. Once the situation stabilizes a bit, I'll ask His Majesty for some free time and accompany Madam on a trip." However, even if the situation stabilizes, he couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any risks from the remnants of the Lou family. Even if there were none, he wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting Li Zhiyi's safety entirely to the guards. His mind raced, and he made a decision: perhaps he could feel more at ease if he went along himself.
Li Changlin's expression was somewhat strange: "Your Excellency is overthinking it. The Li family's hot spring estate is naturally safe." Unlike the Marquis's residence, where something could happen right under their noses. Li Changlin didn't say this aloud, after all, they were currently in the palace.
Privately, he still harbored resentment towards Tang Wenxu, but he didn't want to dwell on the matter further. As the Minister, he had little to do with him now, but as his father-in-law, he had many ways to deal with him.
Li Changlin changed the subject: "What do you, Marquis, intend to do in response to what those senior officials said at court this morning?" Marquis Xuanwu must have known about what happened in court immediately. As he finished speaking, a strange feeling rose in Li Changlin's heart. He had dealt with Tang Wenxu for several years, and Tang Wenxu had always been in the open while he remained in the shadows. As Tang Wenxu drew closer to the late emperor's goal, his presence gradually became so dazzling that it made the entire court wary. Today, apart from two newly appointed ministers, no one raised any objections to the impeachments in court. Although repelling the enemy was a merit, Tang Wenxu's methods and approaches were too extraordinary. The content of the impeachments, seemingly subtle and insidious, was impossible for anyone to find fault with.
His achievements were so great that they threatened the emperor's position, and coupled with Tang Wenxu's intentional or unintentional ostentation over the years, he became an excellent target.
Perhaps, these were all part of the late emperor's calculations?
A chill ran through Li Changlin's heart.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wenxu regained some of his usual carefree smile: "Of course I won't let them have their way so easily."
This answer was both reasonable and unexpected. Li Changlin didn't comment much on Tang Wenxu's decision, only saying, "Your Excellency, have you thought this through before making the first move to establish the new emperor's authority?" He observed that Emperor Jinghui seemed to be more gentle than the late emperor, but in reality, his methods were much more ruthless. It was precisely because those ministers didn't understand Emperor Jinghui and were misled by this appearance that Emperor Jinghui was able to make such a swift and decisive first move.
The lurking leopard suddenly pounced, so fast that its prey didn't even have time to react.
Whether Emperor Jinghui's move was good or bad remains to be seen. But there's no doubt that Tang Wenxu is at the center of the storm. For him, the battle without gunfire has only just begun.
