Chapter 31 My son is disobedient, my beloved concubine cheats on me, the empress harms me, life is so hard for me!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although a day as husband and wife is said to be worth a hundred days, you have favored Consort Wu for the past few years and have ignored me completely."

"The Crown Prince is my own son and cannot be deposed. I also do not wish to be stripped of my position as Empress and forced to die for you. Therefore, I am sorry to have to apologize to you!"

The empress gritted her teeth and took out the poison she had secretly kept.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine!"

…………

The Liao Dynasty palace was in utter chaos that night.

However, Liu Fu's reputation earned him a large amount of prestige.

"Ding! Multiple treasuries have been robbed, warhorses have gone missing, and there is internal strife in the Liao Kingdom's palace. The host has already sparked widespread discussion and caused a major sensation in the Liao Kingdom. A reward of reputation points is hereby given!"

Liu Fu

[Position]: Prince (First Rank)

[Reputation Value]: Points

[Mall Points]: 2851 points

Number of breeding troughs: 5 (5)

[Number of beasts in the army]: 120

After checking his personal panel, Liu Fu was very satisfied.

The numerous and continuous discussions greatly enhanced his reputation in the Liao Kingdom, earning him many rewards, which made all his recent efforts worthwhile.

Liu Fu did not continue to promote Qiongqi.

Upgrading a one-star beast to two stars requires 600,000 reputation points, which is double the previous amount.

In that case, we might as well raise another mythical beast.

Liu Fu really wanted to improve the silverback gorilla. Once the 7-meter-tall silverback gorilla was improved, just how powerful would it become?

By then, I'll truly be a Vajra!

But now Liu Fu has a more pressing need. He knows that the most practical thing at this stage is to upgrade that rat into a mythical beast.

Because once a rat becomes a mythical beast, it can recruit an army of 120 adult rats. Once it has so many rats, it can be dispersed to various places to gather intelligence.

This way, we can find out all the secret strongholds of the Liao Kingdom. Then, with the help of the steppe ground otters, we can use the animal breeding ranch to plunder the Liao Kingdom's important resources. This is the most practical thing to do.

The silverback gorilla can wait until the next promotion.

Having made up his mind, Liu Fu began to elevate the rats.

"Ding! You have spent some reputation points to upgrade the rat from adulthood to metamorphosis!"

The improved rat was still only a little over a foot long, but its fur had changed from gray to light red.

"Ding! You have spent reputation points to upgrade the rat (transformation stage) to a one-star beast!"

"Ding! Your mouse has completed its advancement, becoming the Exotic Treasure-Seeking Mouse. Its form has undergone a huge change. Go check it out!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You can now recruit a new army of ferocious beasts. Go check it out!"

The rat transformed directly into a one-star alien beast, becoming a treasure-hunting rat.

However, its body size did not increase much, but the fur of this treasure-hunting rat changed from light red to light gold.

At this point, the treasure-hunting rat was no longer as frightening as ordinary rats. Instead, its pale gold color made it appear like a noble and lovable little pet.

But this guy is completely different now.

The treasure-hunting rat's teeth can easily bite through steel, it can dig holes extremely fast, and it has extremely strong defensive capabilities. In particular, its speed in searching for treasure is astonishing.

Liu Fu released the treasure-hunting rat. Unexpectedly, this creature could drill holes in steel, and its four claws and teeth were exceptionally sharp, enough to pierce through steel plates.

Then recruit 120 adult rats to his command. Once these rats are distributed, it will be as if 120 spies have been planted throughout Liaodu, ready to send messages back to Liu Fu at any time.

Moreover, these rats could relay messages without having to return to tell Liu Fu. With just a thought, Liu Fu could immediately sense them, which was as absurd as if Liu Fu had 120 extra eyes.

"Go, take your little rat minions and help me gather information, especially about the various treasure troves near Liaodu."

Liu Fu sent out all the treasure-hunting rats and their little rat brothers, especially sending more than a dozen to keep an eye on the palace.

He soon learned that the Empress had poisoned him.

Surprisingly, the empress put the highly poisonous medicine into the Liao emperor's medicine bowl and even personally carried the bowl to feed him.

The Liao emperor surprisingly did not drink it.

In the past, the Empress was highly trusted by the Liao Emperor, and he would eat whatever she brought. But now, as the emperor of a country, how could he not consider what would happen after his death?

History records numerous instances of emperors being poisoned when they were seriously ill. Once an emperor died, the princes vying for the throne would not submit to each other, which could easily lead to internal strife and eventually split a unified dynasty into several parts, resulting in mutual attacks and killings.

In this way, a powerful dynasty will soon come to an end and be replaced by another dynasty, and very few members of the royal family of that dynasty will die a natural death.

As the Liao emperor reached middle age, he lost some of his ambition but gained more shrewdness and cunning; he was no fool.

So at this critical moment, when the Empress handed him the poison, he suddenly asked her to drink it first.

With this small gesture, the Empress's face immediately changed color, and she began to stammer.

The Liao emperor immediately sent people to test for the poison. After discovering the problem, he immediately dismissed the empress and banished her to the cold palace, where she suffered the same fate as Consort Wu.

Liu Fu thought to himself, "This Empress is too stupid. Her methods are too simplistic. She can't compare to Consort Wu's shrewdness. If nothing unexpected happens, the Crown Prince, the Empress, and even Consort Wu will all be doomed."

As it turned out, Liu Fu's judgment was correct.

The Liao emperor suffered repeated humiliations, and was so enraged by Consort Wu's affair with the crown prince that he vomited blood.

In the end, his own wife, whom he had married many times, tried to poison him.

So many terrible things happened to him that the Liao emperor was exhausted. With a single order, he bestowed an imperial sword upon the empress, ordering her to commit suicide.

He then bestowed three feet of white silk upon the Crown Prince and Consort Wu, ordering them to hang themselves.

In the cold palace, the crown prince was ordered to commit suicide in a daze. To this day, he still doesn't know how he was killed, or even who his enemy was. He died in a daze.

If he had known earlier that everything was Liu Fu's revenge, he probably would never have dared to provoke Liu Fu.

Regret is useless now.

Consort Wu could only accept her fate; no matter how she claimed that she had been framed by Liu Fu, no one believed her.

Judging from Consort Wu's current mental state, she is definitely like a mental patient. She said that she saw a ghost, that Liu Fu's ghost killed her, and that Liu Fu had supernatural powers and magic, that he could fly, disappear, and pass through walls. She also said that she was involved with Liu Fu, not the Crown Prince.

But no matter what she says, who will believe her?

"Your Highness, please set off. If you don't leave now, this old servant will have to do it myself to make you look presentable."

Consort Wu reluctantly covered her head with a white silk cloth, tears streaming down her face, and sighed helplessly:

"Liu Fu, if I hadn't opposed you back then, things would probably be very different now, wouldn't they?"

Before Consort Wu could say anything more, the old eunuch kicked over the stool, and Consort Wu struggled in mid-air for a few moments before falling still...

Not long after, a young maid from the Grand Tutor's mansion arrived in front of Liu Fu's residence.

"Is Your Highness the Eighth Prince here? Our young lady is craving something and would like to buy some snacks from you to take back with her."
