AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 70
by Volare“Isn’t Your Majesty worried that the younger generation in the military doesn’t have anyone capable of taking on important tasks, and that there aren’t any new emerging generals to deal with those hateful star pirates? And isn’t Your Majesty lacking capable people around you?” Judith looked at the emperor with gentle eyes and sincerely suggested, “Isn’t Tang Yang’s sudden emergence solving Your Majesty’s urgent need…?”
She said unhurriedly, “I think Your Majesty might as well support and promote the Tang family.”
“Don’t you know? Ruan Tang is the Empress’s man. If I support them, wouldn’t that be adding wings to the Empress’s power, taking it to a higher level?” The Emperor was simply irritated.
He had been worrying for a long time that he didn’t have any truly capable people at hand. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept Auston around for so long.
Now that he had finally found someone who was good in all aspects, the Empress had taken the first step, how could he not be anxious?
“Your Majesty, you must know that the Tang family is not the Ashaman family… If the Empress can support them for her own use, why can’t you find a way to support them, to win them over and make them your force to contend with the Empress?” Judith’s voice was unhurried: “The alliance between the Tang family and the Empress’s forces is currently only the marriage between the First Prince and Ruan Tang. But even the relationship between the First Prince and the Empress is so incompatible… What guarantee does the Empress have that their alliance will be unbreakable and indestructible?”
“The Tang family seems to belong to the Empress’s faction now, but in reality, it’s just a combination of interests.”
The emperor frowned slightly upon hearing this, falling into deep thought.
Judith smiled again and said, “Besides, you have to see clearly that Ruan Tang is just an Omega. Although he is nominally the head of the family, in the future, the core and master of the Tang family’s power will actually be Lieutenant General Tang Yang. He is the commander of the White Tiger Legion… Although he and Ruan Tang are brothers, there is no guarantee that they will always be of one mind.”
The emperor was still hesitant, but after hearing Judith’s words, he suddenly felt enlightened and his mood brightened: “You’re right, that’s right… The key to winning over the Tang family lies in Tang Yang, not Ruan Tang. I was careless and overlooked such an important thing.”
Although Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang are brothers, even brothers are independent individuals, with their own lives to struggle for their own future.
Ruan Yang cannot always agree with him and obey him.
Ruan Tang is just an Omega, while Ruan Yang is a veritable Imperial Lieutenant General, the commander of the White Tiger Legion, a man who truly wields great power.
As long as he wins over Ruan Yang and brings him under his control.
What does it matter what Ruan Tang thinks, or whether he stands on the Empress’s side? As long as Ruan Yang wants to fight him, and the brothers fight each other, Ruan Tang will not be able to defeat Ruan Yang.
“Judith, you are truly my lucky star.” After understanding the crux of the matter, the Emperor was immediately in a good mood and hugged Judith.
Judith immediately smiled Shy.
After they had been intimate, Judith left the palace and returned to her mansion, the tenderness and Shy on her face swept away. She returned to her study, closed the door, and immediately made a call.
The call was quickly connected.
“Your Highness, everything I did today was according to your instructions. The Emperor’s reaction was exactly as you predicted, not even a slight deviation.” Judith immediately reported to the person on the other end of the call about her work progress today with utmost respect.
The person on the other end of the call was completely expecting this and immediately sneered with incomparable sarcasm, “How could anyone in this world know my good father better than I do? No one knows the twists and turns in his heart better than I do, and no one knows better how to make him listen.”
“As expected, the Emperor’s next step should be to try to support and win over the Madam’s brother. What should we do next?” Judith asked.
The person on the other end of the call was none other than Auston, who was known throughout Imperial Star as the Imperial Family’s Mad Dog.
No one would have thought that Judith, the most favored of the Emperor’s many lovers, was actually Auston’s person, a son treated like a dog by the Emperor.
The Emperor thought that he had firmly controlled Auston and could completely manipulate him, but in reality, Auston was also subtly manipulating and influencing many of the Emperor’s decisions through other means, and the Emperor was completely unaware of this.
The relationship between this pair of father and son—
Was extremely cold and plastic.
“I have my own plans for what to do next. Thank you, Madam.” Auston tapped the table lightly with his index finger, his eyes deep: “You must continue to keep an eye on the Emperor.”
Judith immediately said: “Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will definitely complete your instructions properly.”
“When dawn comes, and our great cause is accomplished, I will definitely vindicate Marshal Xue, clear his name, and give him justice, so that the Marshal’s heroic name will be passed down forever.” Auston said softly.
Auston had many ways to control and guide the Emperor to make the decisions he wanted, and Judith was one of them.
The current Emperor was extremely suspicious, valued power but was incompetent. Back then, due to a little suspicion, he listened to slander and created many unjust, false, and wrongly decided cases. Among them, the most tragic consequence was the extermination of the Xue family, the Imperial God of War, more than fifty years ago.
And Judith was none other than Marshal Xue Xin’s fiancée who had fortunately escaped.
She changed her name and appearance through plastic surgery, vowing to find the Emperor to avenge her fiancé. By chance, Auston recruited her.
Auston immediately tailored a new identity for her. At her own initiative, he sent her to the Emperor’s side to become one of the Emperor’s mistresses.
No one in the world knew the Emperor better than Auston, his son. After sending Judith to the Emperor’s side, Auston taught Judith how to win his father’s love.
And Judith lived up to expectations, quickly becoming the Emperor’s most favored woman, her favor never declining.
But Auston knew that none of this was what Judith really wanted—
Hearing the words Marshal Xue, Judith, who had been calm and composed, her eyes moistened slightly, her voice unconsciously a little hoarse: “Okay, I sincerely look forward to it, and believe that you can bring that day for my husband…”
Auston looked at Judith deeply, without speaking.
He was actually a person who didn’t believe in love, but every time he looked at Judith, who was so obsessed with a past love, unable to forget a person who had died for more than fifty years, and still persistently, painstakingly, and schemingly taking revenge for him as a lifelong obsession.
While feeling touched at her foolishness, he couldn’t help but feel that this kind of thing might really exist.
…
Although Ruan Tang had been very busy recently, running around to secure his position as the head of the Ruan family and completely control the Ruan family. But he hadn’t reduced his efforts on Auston at all.
According to research, many sources told him that to conquer an Alpha’s heart, you must first conquer his stomach.
Therefore, recently, he had been busy in the kitchen, experimenting and practicing his cooking skills. No one is perfect. He might not have any talent in cooking. He didn’t know how many times he had failed before he barely made something that was still presentable.
He stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it himself, feeling that the taste was okay, but he was still not sure, so he waved to Auston, who was dressed as a male servant: “Seth, come over and help me taste it. Is this taste right? Will it be strange? Is it normal?”
Recently, this long-lost male servant had reappeared and had been appearing by his side very frequently.
Therefore, Ruan Tang and his relationship had become increasingly close.
“…Very delicious.” Auston looked at Ruan Tang deeply and immediately obediently went over to take a bite, sincerely giving his evaluation.
Although the taste couldn’t be compared with what a chef could make, at least the taste wasn’t strange, and it was cooked… Therefore, Auston still gave a very high evaluation…
Ruan Tang didn’t know how long he had been tossing around in the kitchen. Getting the affirmation of others, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and became happy: “That’s good. I finally made something edible. It seems that cooking is also something that can be improved with hard work. Do you think he will like it if I send this finished product to the Duke to eat? Or should I practice more?”
Because this male servant was the first person Ruan Tang met in Auston Duke’s manor other than those arranged by the Empress, Ruan Tang had a different feeling for him. When getting along with him, the relationship was more like friends than an employer and servant.
Initially, because of a misunderstanding, worried that Seth’s face was injured by Auston, Ruan Tang was afraid of opening old wounds and didn’t dare to mention Auston in front of Seth too much. However, after getting along with both of them for a long time, Ruan Tang had a certain affirmation of Auston’s character, believing that although he was ferocious, he would never do such a thing to an innocent person.
He no longer felt that Seth’s face would be disfigured by Auston or someone ordered by Auston.
In addition, he somewhat regarded this big A big stupid person as a friend, so he mentioned Auston more often in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Auston immediately glanced at him in surprise: “Is Madam practicing cooking so hard to make it for the Duke to eat?”
“Yes.” Ruan Tang said without thinking.
Auston had previously seen Ruan Tang suddenly become obsessed with cooking, constantly tinkering with soup in the kitchen, and thought he was worried that Tang Yun was in poor health, so he personally made things for Tang Yun to eat.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Tang was actually making it for himself to eat.
Auston was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. Growing up, except for chefs, no one had ever specially learned anything for him, wanting to do something to please him. Looking at Ruan Tang’s serious and expectant appearance, although his current identity was a male servant, Auston still felt a little breathless.
He looked away in a bit of a panic, not daring to look at Ruan Tang’s appearance, and immediately asked, “Why is Madam so good to the Duke?”
First, he broke his own principles for him, begging the male servant who might have been hurt by him not to blame him, and now he was washing his hands to make soup for him. Auston didn’t think Ruan Tang liked these, only felt that he had been changing all the time.
Changing because of him.
He was quite at a loss, wanting to ask Ruan Tang: Is he worth it?
“…Of course, because the Duke is my husband.” Ruan Tang didn’t expect him to ask such a question, and immediately replied without thinking: “I want to make him happy, I want him to like me.”
