Of course, the two people inside didn't notice this; they were still arguing.

"Cheng Yan, are you out of your mind? The most important thing right now is for Yuan Ling to issue the decree as soon as possible so that I can rightfully become the regent. Don't forget there's still an empress and a crown prince. Aren't you going to hurry up and wait for them to come back?"

I really don't know how he ever thought this woman had anything going on in her head. Now that I see it, she's just sick.

"Why are you in such a hurry? They're nothing but grasshoppers in my hand. Can't you just let me finish?"

Cheng Yan was a little annoyed. She had followed the rules and regulations for so many years, doing everything according to her idol's formula. How could she not succeed?

Whether it was her first meeting with the emperor, her later discussions with the empress about cooperation, or finding Ning Yixuan, it was all the same routine from that TV series. She had memorized every scene countless times, and even when she tricked Yuan Ling, she perfectly replicated her idol's routine.

As a palace drama that has been shown over and over again, how could there be any problems? She finally got here, finally grew up, and was able to realize her dream.

She walked cautiously and carefully, putting her heart into every step. If she failed, it would be an injustice to heaven and earth.

"You want me to anger him to death, then I'll go out and tell everyone he's dead, and then you can just produce the imperial edict, isn't that enough?"

Finally, my son ascended the throne, and I became the Empress Dowager. I love you so much; I even bore you my own child. Don't worry, don't worry, I'm sure I've done nothing wrong.

In fact, Cheng Yan is really smart, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten to this point, and she wouldn't have let Yuan Ling mess things up. Her only flaw is that she's too much of a brainless fan.

I guess I loved that palace drama so much that I became obsessed, so much so that I felt like I was that person, able to control everything, and able to reach the pinnacle of life just like the characters in that drama.

Or rather, she felt like she was right there in that show, and she had become obsessed with it, wanting to follow the show exactly. When someone goes mad, there's no stopping them.

Don't think it's impossible. A friend of mine watched TV and thought he could fly, so he jumped from a great height and broke his leg. And what about those who imitate scenes from "Boonie Bears"?

"What if you're having a girl?"

"Then let her be Wu Zetian!" Cheng Yan blurted out without thinking.

Why don't you just quit?

"I am a favored concubine, I am an imperial noble consort, and the future empress dowager," Cheng Yan continued.

After she finished speaking, she realized that the voice was not right, so she looked at Yuan Ce.

Did you speak?

Yuan Ce kept shaking his head. The two looked around but there was no one there, yet they had definitely heard a sound just now.

"Who, who's here? I fear nothing! I am the mistress of the harem! No matter who you are, it's useless!"

Cheng Yan felt a little scared, since there seemed to be no one around, but she could hear voices.

"I never thought I could misjudge someone. I thought you were so smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

Mo Yan emerged from the secret passage behind the bed and looked at Yuan Ce and Cheng Yan.

"How did you get in?" Cheng Yan looked at Mo Yan in shock.

"You know what? He's right. No matter what you do, you have to be fast. Villains usually die because they talk too much."

The moment Mo Yan appeared, Yuan Ling's eyes lit up, and he cried out, "Mo Yan has come to save me!"
