Chapter 679: Chapter 677: Fake Princess, Noble Lord Takes Action_1
Little Kingfisher, harboring his own thoughts, constantly egged on.
“As long as she’s dead, the northwest border will be peaceful, and without insiders creating trouble, Danta wouldn’t dare to attack the heart of the Central Plains easily. Even their fierce light cavalry will not have an advantage in the complicated terrain of mountain warfare.”
“This matter is of great importance, the involvement of the generals at the northwest border in the rebellion, cannot be solved by just killing one person.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart sank: “Allow me to inform the Old Master first, the plan discussed a few days ago is no longer viable, and a new strategy must be discussed.”
“All right, I’m going to the Imperial Palace for a spin and tell the Noble Lord to find something new to amuse himself.”
Little Kingfisher had no worries, fluttering his wings and flying away immediately.

Empress’s sleeping chamber.
Noble Lord smiled ambiguously, massaging the Empress’ shoulders with both hands, a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
“Your Majesty, Xinzi remembers that the Emperor’s birthday is coming up. This year happens to be his fiftieth birthday. The palace hasn’t been lively for a long time. Why not take this opportunity to invite all the officials to celebrate grandly?”
“Hehe, when have you cared about his birthday?”
Empress felt amused, teasingly joked: “Is the sun coming out from the west today? You would actually think of celebrating his birthday.”
“Isn’t Xinzi doing this for your Majesty’s sake?”
Noble Lord raised his eyebrows, hinting at a myriad of amorous feelings: “Your Majesty is bothered by those old ministers all day long. It might be good to take this opportunity to change the mood.”
“Year after year, time goes by so fast.”
Empress patted his hand with satisfaction, sighed with deep emotion: “In a blink of an eye, the Emperor is almost fifty years old, and I’m getting old too.”
“Your Majesty is still in the prime of your life, there’s no need to worry.”
Noble Lord’s eyebrows raised slightly, his smile not reaching his eyes: “In a few days, Xinzi will order more wrinkle-removing eye cream from the Beauty Salon for your Majesty. Once applied, you’re sure to look even more beautiful than an eighteen-year-old maiden.”
“Hehe, you, always sweet-talking, you know just how to make me happy.”
Empress was in a great mood, laughing and dancing with joy.
Noble Lord’s eyes shifted: “Has Your Majesty agreed to hold the Emperor’s birthday feast at night?”
“Fine, just as you wish.”
Empress readily agreed: “Leave this matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have them prepare as soon as possible. The birthday banquet will be held in the Mental Cultivation Hall in two days.”
“Your Majesty, it’s getting late, Xinzi will help you to rest.”
Noble Lord’s eyebrows raised slightly, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
“All right.”
Empress failed to notice his oddity, letting him help her up from the chair.
A fake princess?
Interesting.
I’d like to see how you’ll continue to pretend at the Emperor’s birthday banquet.
Noble Lord supported the Empress, walking slowly toward the dragon bed, with an inscrutable light flickering in his eyes.

“Master, Noble Lord has made his move, he plans to expose the fake princess’s true face at the Emperor’s birthday banquet in two days.”
Little Kingfisher stood on the eaves of the sleeping chamber, happily eavesdropping, and faithfully relayed the information to his master.
Lin Qingluo agreed inwardly: “The Emperor’s birthday is an event that the Second Imperial Princess, as his biological daughter, must attend. The fake princess can’t avoid it, so it’s a good idea.”
“What did the Old Master say? Did he agree to let you assassinate the Second Imperial Princess on the grassland?”
Little Kingfisher was thinking about showing off his skills on the grassland.
“Sigh.”
Lin Qingluo let out a deep sigh: “Grandpa is very sad, after learning that the border army had participated in the rebellion, he didn’t say a word, and it breaks my heart to see him like that.”
“The old man has spent his life in military service and can’t bear to hear the few words ‘border army rebellion,’ it’s hard for him.”
