The Empress Dowager, naturally unable to bear it, said in a trembling voice, "How dare you hit me?"
"If Your Majesty continues with your nonsense, then don't blame this maid for being impolite."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoyue slammed her hand on the table next to her, shattering it into pieces.
This scene terrified the Empress Dowager, turning her face pale.
She finally realized that although the other woman was just a palace maid, her life and death were in the other woman's hands.
The Empress Dowager naturally didn't want to be beaten, and her mind cleared up somewhat.
What exactly do you want to do?
Xiaoyue lowered her raised arm, grabbed the Empress Dowager by the collar, and walked straight out.
"Didn't the Empress Dowager want to see my lady? My lady is too lazy to move, so she asked me to invite the Empress Dowager over."
"Is this how you ask questions?" The Empress Dowager, feeling greatly humiliated by being grabbed by the back of her collar, couldn't help but shout at them again.
"If I were to request the Dharma as I always have, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to persuade the Empress Dowager!"
"Put me down, and I'll go with you."
"You are the Empress Dowager, how can I make you walk? It makes me appear disrespectful!"
"It is a small matter for this servant to be scolded, but it is a serious offense to embarrass the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager's face turned from white to green.
She realized that Xiaoyue was taking revenge on her.
Previously, she had frequently bullied and oppressed Empress Yao, using the pretext of disrespect for hierarchy and the dignity of the royal family.
But now, Xiaoyue has returned it to her exactly as it was.
She knew she had completely lost face today.
In the morning, he was humiliated by the emperor in front of the entire court, and at noon, he was being carried away like Rabbit in this manner.
The journey from Palace of Compassion and Tranquility to the Cold Moon Palace is quite long.
This journey will likely be filled with humiliation!
In this palace, losing face can be fatal.
Had she known Empress Yao possessed such ruthless methods, how could she have dared to offend Empress Yao so severely in the first place?
It seems that the Cold Moon Palace will be his final resting place.
The Empress Dowager was carried by Xiaoyue all the way, making a scene that immediately alarmed the entire palace.
Xiao Yuan learned of this immediately, but he only gloated and didn't interfere or show up, pretending not to know anything about it.
Although it damages the royal family's reputation, what does reputation matter compared to life?
He's no match for Empress Yao right now.
Emperor Xiao Yuan did not appear, but the Imperial City Guard in the palace could not ignore the situation.
Xiao Yuan pretended to be stupid and hid. After all, he was the emperor, and any excuse could fool him.
But the Imperial City Guard are also pretending to be stupid. Once this matter is over, every single one of them will probably lose their heads.
A large number of Imperial City Guard surrounded Xiaoyue.
But Xiaoyue wasn't afraid at all. With her Transformers armor, these ordinary swords and knives couldn't hurt her at all.
If someone is blocking her way, she'll just crash into them.
He braved arrows head-on, withstood swords and blades, and knocked away anything that blocked his way, returning to the Cold Moon Palace at an undiminished speed.
Then, the entire Cold Moon Palace was surrounded by thousands of Imperial City Guard.
"Your Majesty, I've caused you trouble," Xiaoyue said, tossing the Empress Dowager onto the sofa.
Ling Yi shrugged indifferently.
"It's nothing!" Ling Yi looked at the Empress Dowager.
Because he possessed Ye Yao's original memories, Ling Yi naturally knew what kind of person this Empress Dowager was.
This is an ambitious old woman who is completely lost in the pursuit of power, no longer aware of her own limitations.
He was tyrannical, cruel, and bloodthirsty; at least hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs died at his hands.
Many of the concubines, secondary consorts, and imperial consorts in the palace also died at her hands.
Anyone who defied her met a bad end.
Ye Yao didn't actually have any major conflicts with the Empress Dowager.
Even Ye Yao's position as Empress was arranged by the Empress Dowager.
Ye Yao has a quiet and unassuming personality, is not competitive or ambitious, and is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Ye Hong.
This would neither threaten her position nor prevent her from being controlled, and it would also strengthen her relationship with the prime minister.
That's why, despite Xiao Yuan's objections, Ye Yao was made empress.
The conflict arose simply because when the Empress Dowager was punishing a palace maid, Ye Yao couldn't bear it and pleaded for her life, which the Empress Dowager interpreted as a challenge to her authority.
They've held a deep grudge against me.
After that, Ye Yao was subjected to a lot of difficulties, with the aim of teaching Ye Yao a lesson, making her more obedient, and less meddlesome.
Her authority as Empress Dowager was not to be challenged by anyone.
Unlike Ye Lengyue, who was ambitious, Ye Lengyue was a transmigrator. After all, being a concubine or empress could not satisfy her ambition. After transmigrating, she began to covet the throne.
As for the Empress Dowager, she was too power-hungry.
But they only wanted to lord it over everyone within the palace; their ambitions were much smaller.
"I heard you wanted to see me? Now that I'm here, what's on your mind?"
[Ding! You have gained Lin Xianglian's Regret Points, Regret Points +60!]
[Ding! You have gained Lin Xianglian's Regret Points, Regret Points +45!]
Lin Xianglian was the Empress Dowager's name.
From the moment she stepped into the Cold Moon Palace, her Regret Points kept increasing.
As for why the Empress Dowager regretted it, there could be many reasons.
Perhaps he regretted not killing or deposing Empress Yao, or perhaps he regretted that his relationship with Empress Yao had become too strained, resulting in his death.
Of course, it's also possible that he regrets not killing Ye Lengyue back then.
In short, the Regret Points never stopped.
Yes, it's a good leek.
"Did you give the Emperor the Mechanism Beast?" The Empress Dowager quickly regained her composure.
He looked around as he asked.
It was no easy feat for someone to become Empress Dowager.
After all, they were the ultimate winners of the previous palace intrigue drama; they couldn't have gotten by without some skills.
Ling Yi wasn't surprised that things stabilized so quickly.
" Mechanism Beast? Hmm, given your understanding of Water-type elements, it's understandable that you could think of Mechanism Beast."
"That's right, the Mechanism Beast was given to Xiao Yuan by me."
" Empress Yao, you should know my status in the Da Zhou Kingdom. Rather than supporting a useless emperor, it would be better for you to join forces with me."
"Even if you were to conquer the world in the future, it wouldn't be impossible."
"Hmm, that makes sense." Ling Yi nodded.
He is indeed considering it.
Whether he could conquer the world or become emperor, Ling Yi didn't care too much.
Ling Yi was considering how to end the storyline as quickly as possible.
In this world, the first playthrough's storyline doesn't last long, only two years.
But Ling Yi doesn't want to be Ye Yao's persona for even a second longer.
The awkwardness was one thing, but the main problem was that Ling Yi discovered he wasn't averse to wearing makeup anymore.
Good heavens! At this rate, will he become Dongfang Bubai in two years?
Originally, Ling Yi wanted to wait for Xiao Yuan and the others to cause trouble, and then he would just need to give them a push from behind!
But after discovering this problem, Ling Yi dared not delay any longer.
Ling Yi just wants to end the story as soon as possible.
The ending of the story is marked by a change of dynasty.
Then let's just change dynasties directly.
"This world is something Laozi can take at will, why should I cooperate with you?" Ling Yi Taunt.
Ling Yi brought the Empress Dowager over simply to have her by his side as a guinea pig to be exploited and reap the Regret Points of his own actions.
It has no other use.
"The world is not as simple as you think. Even if you attain the throne, without the recognition of the people, you will only have an empty title."
"His title is illegitimate and his authority is questionable; he is nothing more than an emperor within this imperial city, nothing more."
"Then you really underestimate a transmigrator," Ling Yi said disdainfully.
"A time traveler? You, like Ye Lengyue, come from the future?" The Empress Dowager looked at Ling Yi in disbelief.
Ling Yi looked at the Empress Dowager curiously and asked, "That's not right. You died relatively early. Even if Revive, you shouldn't know that Ye Lengyue is a transmigrator!"
How did you know Ye Lengyue was a time traveler?
"It was someone I planted next to Ye Lengyue who overheard her talking to herself while Ye Lengyue was taking a bath."
"No, how did you know I was Revive person?"
"You're not the only one who's Revive Revive. Can you guess who else is?"
The Empress Dowager instantly realized something and exclaimed, "The Emperor is also Revive person?"
"Hehe!"
Ling Yi didn't say much about this matter; just keep guessing!
Shaking his head, he said, " Xiaoyue, arrange a room for the Empress Dowager on the first floor!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although she didn't know why Ling Yi did this, Xiaoyue obediently led the Empress Dowager downstairs.
A moment later, he returned to the second-floor balcony, pointed to the Imperial City Guard surrounding the area, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?"
" Xiaoyue, do you want to be the emperor?" Ling Yi asked, looking Xiaoyue up and down.
"Ah? This servant is to become the emperor? Your Majesty, please don't joke. This servant is just a palace maid."
"Who says a palace maid can't become emperor? I say you can, and you can."
"Later, we'll have the Empress Dowager adopt you as her goddaughter and bestow upon you the title of princess. With royal status, we can then eliminate Xiao Yuan, Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Ping, and you'll be the sole heir to the royal family."
Xiaoyue blinked. "No, Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"Those who disagree, beat them into submission; those who still disagree, kill them. Becoming emperor is that simple!"
"Is it simple?"
"Isn't it simple?" Ling Yi countered.
"Your Majesty, please don't tease me! Even if someone were to become emperor, it would be Your Majesty who would be the one!"
"If I say you can do it, then you can do it. It's settled then."
As Ling Yi spoke, he pointed to the Imperial City Guard outside. "Give these men a beating, and tonight the Empress Dowager will issue an edict to adopt you as her goddaughter."
"Tomorrow at the morning court session, have the Empress Dowager and the Emperor issue a joint statement, bestowing upon you the title of princess."
"Wait half a month, and once the news gets out, kill all the royal family members, then just declare yourself emperor, and that's it."
Is Your Majesty really serious?
No way, an emperor? She's just a palace maid? She forgot to brush her teeth this morning, okay? This joke is way too much!
I wouldn't even dare to do that in my wildest dreams!
"Alright, you go get to work, I'll take care of the rest."
"Oh!"
Xiaoyue, looking completely bewildered, jumped off the second floor and, with the help of the Transformers Saina, began to beat up the Imperial City Guard.
Ling Yi watched Xiaoyue rampage through the Imperial City Guard, stroked his chin, and said, "Since we've made Xiaoyue the emperor, she must be a good one."
"Go back to the Little Fool's world, get some modern history books and related materials, and give Xiaoyue a boost, a level up."
"Okay, it's decided then."
