Chapter 458

However, the little girl was dressed in a white long dress, with a fox fur cloak embroidered with exquisite patterns over it. The hood was covered with a circle of fluffy fur, which made her small face look as white as snow, with bright eyes and white teeth. In short, she was beautiful and cute!

Return the aura of a king?

It's more like cute and adorable.

His Majesty cried again in anger!

What happened to the saying that when an emperor is angry, millions will die?

Does the chubby-cheeked empress not deserve imperial authority?

Damn it, just you wait. In a few more years, she'll definitely become a powerful and domineering emperor who commands the world.

However, Wen Xin didn't really hold a grudge against the palace servants.

She knew they were doing it to protect her; if she suffered any further loss, none of them would survive.

Emperors are noble, but sometimes they are not entitled to be willful.

Because of her actions or decisions, countless innocent lives may be paid for.

However, this is on the premise that Wen Xin is not encountering an enemy.

When she encounters someone she dislikes, Her Majesty's classic line is: "Chop them up!"

...

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

The grand imperial procession had just entered the palace road where the imperial study was located when it was stopped.

When Wen Xin, sitting on the imperial carriage, heard that familiar voice, her body suddenly stiffened, and a wave of discomfort surged in her chest, making her feel extremely suffocated.

"Your humble servant Liang Rong requests an audience with Your Majesty."

Liang Rong, Wen Xin's aunt, is also the Prime Minister of the Fengyuan Empire, holding a position of great power second only to the Empress and the Regent.

What else is she dissatisfied with?

Have I not treated her and the Liang family well enough?

Why would you betray me?

The bitter pain lingered in Wen Xin's heart from the remnants of her soul fragments.

Greed knows no bounds!

The Liang family believed that the Regent was blocking their path; what they wanted was to control the entire Fengyuan, and even dreamed of becoming the ruler of the world.

Most importantly, a treacherous minister who doesn't want to rebel is not a good treacherous minister.

Xiao Jin: "..." Why did Master have to say that at the end? Is he kidding me? Can't you respect the sadness of a soul fragment?

See? All the bitterness and sorrow of those soul fragments have disappeared.

Wen Xin calmly patted her chest. Every family has a few awful relatives. Just get rid of them. What's there to be sad about?

Little Gold's jaw dropped: Master, take it easy, why are you getting more and more violent?

Wen Xin puffed out her chest: "I am the emperor now, don't I have the right to kill a few people?"

What was the point of the empress doing this?

Little Jin covered her face: Master's belated rebellious and chuunibyou phase... Male supporting character, please come and take Master away!

Well, it's lucky if the male supporting character doesn't hand its master a knife.

Wen Xin lifted the curtain of the imperial carriage, and Liang Rong stood in front of the carriage, bowing respectfully.

They didn't kneel down?

How dare you! How audacious! Cut him down!

Wen Xin looked at Granny Wan, who was attending to the imperial carriage, and asked sincerely, "Is Prime Minister Liang planning a rebellion?"

Granny Wan: "!!!???"

Your Majesty, what insolent and treacherous words are you uttering now?

Is it something you can just casually say about rebellion?

Wen Xin stared at Wan Mama, "Mama, she dared not kneel when she saw me! Doesn't that mean she doesn't respect me? Isn't that tantamount to rebellion?"

See? Where did I say it casually?

I have evidence, and it's irrefutable!

Granny Wan: "...Your Majesty, have you forgotten? It was you who granted Prime Minister Liang the privilege of not having to kneel and kowtow to you."

Wen Xin looked bewildered. Was that really true?

It seems there really is?

But the next second, the little empress puffed out her chest again and said righteously, "What I gave her was a favor, but she accepted it as if it were her due. This is disrespect to the monarch."

Granny Wan: "..." Is this even possible?

Alright, Your Majesty is never wrong; everything that is wrong is right.

Granny Wan tried her best to keep a straight face. "Then shall this servant go and deliver the imperial decree ordering Prime Minister Liang to kneel down?"

Wen Xin pouted, "Wouldn't that make me seem petty and narrow-minded?"

Moreover, forcing someone to kneel does not demonstrate my imperial majesty. Thumbs down!

Granny Wan: "..."

So, what does Your Majesty wish to do?

Your Majesty was clearly injured in the shoulder, not the brain... cough cough, this is outrageous.

Wen Xin rested her chin on her hand and said, "Let her come over. I want to see what Prime Minister Liang is trying to say by stopping me halfway."

Granny Wan's lips twitched.

Well, calm down. His Majesty is only fourteen years old. It's understandable that he's a bit lively.

However, hasn't His Majesty always been closest to Prime Minister Liang? He always affectionately calls her "Auntie," so why is he like this now...?

Thinking of something, a cold glint flashed in Granny Wan's eyes. The Liang family had indeed become too arrogant in recent years. Liang Wumei actually dared to push His Majesty out to take the fall.

It now seems that His Majesty has likely seen through the true nature of the Liang family and is probably completely disappointed.

This is a good thing!

Granny Wan had already prepared excuses for the little empress's changes.

Wen Xin sighed again: It's so good to be a child, even better to be a child who has just recovered from a serious injury. You can just throw off your character and someone will automatically fill in the gaps in the story. It's awesome!

Today, Prime Minister Liang came to see Wen Xin, indeed because of Liang Wumei's matter.

On the day the young empress awoke, the regent ordered the Moon Shadow Guards to arrest Liang Wumei at the Liang family home on charges of bewitching the emperor out of the palace and failing to protect him properly, and threw her into a dark dungeon.

The dark dungeon was the Regent's territory; once inside, no one could get out without his order.

Prime Minister Liang only has one eldest daughter, how could he not be anxious?

Putting aside the fact that the Regent King's great victory over the Southern Moon Kingdom has intimidated the world and further solidified his control over the entire court, Prime Minister Liang simply doesn't dare to challenge his power.

Take Liang Wumei's act of pushing the emperor to take the blow for example. In any dynasty, that would be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his family.

How could Prime Minister Liang dare to directly break ties with the Regent?

Do the Liang family still want it?

After several unsuccessful attempts to negotiate privately with the Regent, she had no choice but to plead with the young Empress.

However, the Regent Prince protected the Chaohuang Palace like an iron barrel, and Prime Minister Liang was unable to enter.

It's no use asking to see him; the Regent won't let her in. Even if she kneels to death outside, the little empress won't know.

After finally waiting for the little empress to emerge, Prime Minister Liang was naturally in a hurry to stop people.

However, Prime Minister Liang found out as soon as she left the Chaohuang Palace.

It seems the Liang family has quite a few spies in the palace.

Wen Xin's cherry blossom-like lips curved slightly, her smile cool and aloof.

Prime Minister Liang, dressed in a purple court robe, strode over. She was rather tall and quite beautiful, possessing a kind of heroic beauty and a commanding presence. However, the ambition and scheming in her eyes were quite distasteful.

This person is clearly not a good person. Even the fragmented soul isn't stupid. How could she think that this so-called aunt is genuinely good to her?

All I can say is that blood ties and the power of fate are truly formidable.

"Your Majesty, how is your health? My aunt has been worried sick every day. She came to the palace to visit you, but she couldn't see you. His Highness the Regent said that you need to rest and that no one is allowed to visit you. My aunt is really..."
