16 Chapter Sixteen

After all, Prime Minister Yang was a beneficiary of Ying Zetian Devil abilities. The prime minister position was always alternating between the Yang and Shang Guan family. so, Ying Zetian had used her Devil abilities to kill the previous Prime Minister Shang Guan as per the wish of the current Prime Minister Yang.

But Ying Zetian had one of her dark guards that already had a trusted position beside her father, Shang Guan Yi to release the information that it was the Devil who killed Prime Minister Shang Guan based on the wish of Prime Minister Yang. And that successfully broken the ties between the top two gentry families of Tai Ping.

For the first two years of the start of her empire, Ying Zetian do not have the ability to touch the Yang and Shuang Guan family. so, all the more Ying Zetian will not touch the Yang and Shuang Guan family unless it is beneficial to her. As Ying Zetian wanted to leave the full Shang Guan families to be killed on the day of her ascending to the throne of Tai Ping.

Well, as for the Yang family, it was to let Tang Wudi to seek revenge personally. So, it was with ease that Ying Zetian successfully bring Prime Minister Yang favorite concubine back to Hanlin academy. After the tune was play and one of her dark guards bought the concubine back.

Ying Zetian frowned when she heard the nauseous inducing voice of her younger brother from her father side, Shang Guan Liang starting to speak. Ying Zetian knew that Shang Guan Liang was just a spoilt brat as he is Shang Guan Yi first son.

"We know what this person from the brothels did to get Prime Minister Yang favorite concubine to come to Hanlin Academy. Maybe it was to get his mother, the Qing brothel owner to help him?" Shang Guan Liang snidely said.

Hanlin academy allows each student to bring in two attendants, so Ying Zetian get the betting slips from her another dark guard. Ying Zetian with one jump appear behind Shang Guan Liang and kick his legs forcing him to bend down on the floor.

"Shang Guan Liang, if you really think that belonging to the Shang Guan family will allow you freedom in Changan, you are wrong. I stand here today, and I said this to all the students that is on scene today. I do not care which family you come from; you could only speak in front of me if you never step into the Qing brothel or the Qing gambling palace before. I believe that all of you on scene today cannot fit into this category. If not all of you that belong to the four gentry families will already be appointed to suitable positions in court by the head of your family and not be still studying in Hanlin. unless you want me to release all the information that all of you did in my business to the public, do not get on my bad side!"

After Ying Zetian speak finish, she throws all the gambling slips like a waterfall falling on Shang Guan Liang head. Ying Zetian had on purpose use Ying Zetian identity to create an additional gambling den to the Qing brothel. As in this way, while using her Ying Zetian identity, she could have something to use against at least half of each gentry families. As after all her Ying Zetian identity is quite weak and she knew she need a easier way to deal with the gentry families that she will meet in a bid to become an official.

After all, half of each gentry families are baboons who will only spend their time in brothels of gambling dens. Ying Zetian wanted to pull Tang Wudi to left for their rooms, but she senses danger behind her. So, Ying Zetian instinctively grips her attacker hand to release the blade that was used to attack her into her hands. And with a beautiful turn, Ying Zetian held the blade against Shang Guan Liang who was screaming at her to go and died.

"This is a warning to those who dare to go against me!" Ying Zetian slice one time against Shang Guan Liang throat which cause heavy bleeding. But being a skilled doctor, Ying Zetian knew that this slice will not post any danger to Shang Guan Liang. Ying Zetian then left for their rooms while holding Tang Wudi hands and softly patting it. What Ying Zetian never notice is that those who know Tang Wudi including his dark guards' eyes was already raise to the heavens.

As Tang Wudi was pretending to be shivering in fear while grabbing Ying Zetian arms with a hand. And this is the first time they saw Tang Wudi behaving like this, and this is polar opposites of what normally Tang Wudi will behave like. Even Ying Zetian's dark guards also know how their master adopted younger brother behave behind Ying Zetian's back. But nobody dares to mention this to Ying Zetian as they know to their master, what his family members did will be right even if they are technically wrong.
