Her usually dignified and sharp phoenix eyes now held a hint of allure, a touch of nobility, and the rest was pure provocation.

So be it!

Zuan did not answer. At this moment, he had only one thought: to completely conquer this woman who was usually high and mighty, and to complete the first step of his revenge.

If you don't even dare to take this step, how can you have the heart of a strongman to challenge the emperor in the future?

He pushed the Empress directly onto the soft couch and pounced on her with a tiger's roar.

Although the empress was somewhat disoriented from being pushed by the opponent's immense force, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and everything was under her control.

...

However, it wasn't long before she realized that something was out of her control. Her phoenix eyes widened in surprise. Originally, it was the mature woman teasing a young boy, but in that instant, she seemed to have returned to the shyness and fear of her teenage years: "You... are you a beastman?"

Zuan snorted, not in the mood to answer her; he just wanted to vent his anger and rage.

...

Eunuch Lü, who had been waiting outside the palace, was trembling all over. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Ning'er had finally completed her plan.

He remained outside the palace, using his inner energy to prevent the sound from spreading and alerting the other palace maids and eunuchs, while silently observing the raging storm inside. Throughout the process, a smile of enlightenment gradually appeared on his face.

Zhao Hao, you've finally met your match!

...

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally frowned. "Will this brat ever stop?!"

He arrived at the agreed-upon window, opened the mechanism, and looked inside. His pupils contracted, and his skin turned red.

He took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions and transmitted his voice, "Your Majesty, it's almost time. Just do as planned. You are responsible for keeping him occupied, and this old servant will take care of ending his life!"

I've seen Zu'an make a move before. Although that guy's cultivation level isn't high, his messy skills are still quite troublesome. If we miss a strike and he escapes, alerting the Emperor, it won't be a joke. He and the Empress will both die, and their respective families will be implicated.

If the empress cooperates, a man's guard is at its weakest at such a moment, and he will surely be able to kill him with a single blow.

The Empress's usually dignified and elegant hairstyle was now disheveled, and many strands of hair were damp with sweat and stuck to her face. She bit her red lips and shook her head slightly at him.

Eunuch Lü frowned, about to say something more, but the Empress gave him no chance. She reached out and pulled the curtain beside her, and the semi-transparent gauze curtain slowly fell, completely blocking the two of them.
