In the Imperial City, the battle scars on the square in front of the Hall of the Supreme Principle had already been repaired overnight, and it looked just like new.

Outside the Hall of the Supreme Principle, hundreds of courtiers in various court uniforms filed out of the Thousand Steps Corridor in small groups of three to five, discussing how to deal with the case yesterday involving the Prince of Wu.

Behind the Hall of the Supreme Principle, a hundred guards of honor surrounded the emperor’s carriage and walked toward the Eternal Joy Palace.

On the imperial carriage, the empress of Great Wei, who was dressed in a black and red dragon robe, had her left leg over her right leg, revealing her red palace shoe and fair ankle. Her elbows were resting on the armrests to support the side of her face. Her sitting posture was slightly lazy, and her imposing and proud figure exuded a domineering aura like a monarch overlooking the world.

The twelve tassels made of jade beads hanging down from the crown covered the empress’s incomparably beautiful face. Her eyes, which were originally so deep in the court that they seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, were now in a daze.

The rebellion of a vassal prince was a huge matter, but with the Prince of Wu’s strength, he couldn’t cause any trouble. With a reasonable excuse, she could crush him with a flick of her finger. In the empress’s eyes, it wasn’t a big deal.

Last night, the beauty had been saved by the hero, and he had even seen the beauty bathing. To a woman, this was a huge matter. But the empress was not an ignorant little girl. She wouldn’t be shy and timid because of this.

At this moment, her mind was wandering as she thought about how to break out of her situation.

There was more than just the Prince of Wu in Great Wei who had traitorous intentions. Outside, Northern Liang was eyeing the country covetously, and inside, there were many vassal princes with ulterior motives. There were countless rebels like the Green Bandits and the Pacifying Heaven Cult. In her situation, she could be said to be surrounded by powerful enemies.

But the empress had never regarded these as difficulties. From the day she sat in this position as a woman, she knew that she had the ability to eliminate all the disasters in her sights and leave only a prosperous era without any war for future generations.

However, it would take time to do all of this, and only by living could she accomplish everything she wanted. The only predicament she faced was her own body.

If she wanted to live long, she had to think of a way to find the five lost Roaring Dragon Chart pictures and heal the physique flaws brought about by touching the taboo.

But it was impossible for her to run around the world to find the Roaring Dragon Chart pictures herself.

Although her master, Daoist Xuanji, was powerful and had secretly helped her search for them, luck was more important than strength in finding the Roaring Dragon Chart pictures.

First, one had to have heaven-defying luck to discover clues. Then one had to rely on one’s outstanding detection and tracking ability to find their whereabouts. Then one had to rely on peerless martial arts skills to snatch them.

For these three points, the aspect of strength was the simplest condition.

Ye Jingtang seemed to meet these three conditions, but he clearly had no reason to go through fire and water for his sister-in-law.

If the empress wanted to arrange this heavy responsibility, she had to think of a way to closen the relationship and build a deep friendship that exceeded the differences between a ruler and a subject.

But after what had happened yesterday, if they got closer, they might end up in the dragon bed.

What they had established was not a pure friendship but a very strange relationship.

As the dignified empress, using a honey trap to capture a man’s heart to get him to do things for her wasn’t the way she should behave.

As an emperor, she should use her absolute charisma to make her subordinates pledge their loyalty to her.

Yesterday, when she stabbed Eunuch Cao with his spear, her peerless charm had already made Ye Jingtang look amazed and worshipful.

But in a few seconds, she couldn’t hold on, and her internal energy had failed on the spot. Her image plummeted, and even her hairlessness had been discovered.

A featherless phoenix was inferior to a chicken, and a hairless tiger definitely did not look dignified and domineering.

How could she make Ye Jingtang submit to her in reverence…

Sitting in the imperial carriage, the empress had countless thoughts running through her mind. Just as she returned to the Peaceful Hall, she heard the voice of the palace maid Hongyu coming from the hall.

“Your Majesty, Her Majesty is back. Change your clothes. It’s almost noon…”

The empress returned to her senses and walked down from the imperial carriage. She let the palace servants retreat and entered the hall unhurriedly.

The hall was empty. The palace maids had already been chased out by the empress dowager. In the bedchamber by the lake, Hongyu was standing in front of the dragon bed and persuading gently.

The empress dowager was sitting upright on the edge of the dragon bed with her hands folded at her waist. Her expression was very vivid. Her cheeks were puffed up, and her big eyes were misty. She was clearly very angry!

The empress knew the reason. She hadn’t woken up naturally this morning. Instead, she had been kicked off the dragon bed by the empress dowager, who had woken up from a nightmare.

Then the empress dowager curled up in the corner of the bed and hugged her knees, looking like she had been humiliated. She didn’t dare to say what had happened.

Based on her reaction, the empress reckoned that Ye Jingtang had really done something last night. The empress dowager was suffering in silence and didn’t dare to tell anyone.

The empress was afraid that the empress dowager would take things too hard, so she specially explained to her that she was the one who had called Ye Jingtang over. She had a secret mission to tell him, so the empress dowager shouldn’t take it to heart.

Then the empress dowager couldn’t hold it in anymore and complained to her about Ye Jingtang’s atrocities. She wanted to summon Ye Jingtang into the palace for interrogation.

The empress definitely didn’t agree. She refused politely, but the empress dowager threw a tantrum. She had been sitting here all morning, refusing to eat or change clothes. She looked like she was going on a hunger strike.

The empress entered the bedchamber and spread her arms to let Hongyu take off her dragon robe and crown. She said gently, “It’s already noon. Empress Dowager, go eat. Don’t starve.”

The empress dowager stood up and chased Hongyu out. She helped the empress undress and looked very aggrieved. “How can 1 be in the mood to eat? Ye Jingtang came here secretly. Even though Your Majesty secretly summoned him, when he discovered me, he shouldn’t have covered my mouth and even knocked me out… I’m the dignified empress dowager, but Your Majesty actually doesn’t care about such treasonous actions. If it were Liren, she would definitely help me seek justice…”

The empress comforted, “I’ve already reprimanded him. He was afraid of alerting the palace servants, so he had no alternative but to knock you out..”
