Chapter 4 The Spoiled Little Empress (The End)

The next day

Luo Xi looked at the Consort Xian sitting in the chair and asked, "I heard that you wish to see the Emperor?"

Consort Xian stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

Luo Xi: "I am the Empress."

Consort Xian asked with a mixture of anticipation and unease, "Your Majesty the Empress, could you... could you take me to see the Emperor?"

Luo Xi stared into her eyes and asked in confusion, "I'm very curious. You've lost your memory, so shouldn't you have forgotten the Emperor by now? Why do you still remember him?"

Consort Xian clutched her skirt tightly: "I don't know either. I feel that he must be the most important person to me, so..." That's why she only remembers the Emperor.

Luo Xi: "Alright, no need to say anything more, I understand."

"Then you must be quite devoted to the Emperor, not forgetting him even after losing your memory."

"I will now take you to see the Emperor."

Consort Xian smiled and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Luo Xi: "Of course it's true."

Consort Xian: "Then... let's go now."

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Okay."

An hour later,

On the edge of a cliff.

Luo Xi crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, and quietly watched Consort Xian walk step by step toward the cliff. She did not say anything to stop her.

Consort Xian stopped two or three steps from the edge of the cliff and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, have we arrived?"

"Not yet. Just walk a few more steps, and you'll reach the place where the Emperor reviews memorials."

Luo Xi: "Since the Emperor has asked you to go in alone, we won't go in."

With the wind so strong on this cliff, doesn't Consort Xian have any doubts?

As soon as Luo Xi finished speaking, Consort Xian smiled and said "okay." Then, she took two or three more steps forward, and sure enough, she fell off the cliff...

"Xi'er!"

When Xuanyuan Chen heard that Luo Xi had come to the cliff, he was worried that something might have happened to her, so he rushed over.

He never expected that upon his arrival, he would witness Consort Xian falling off a cliff...

Luo Xi threw herself into Xuan Yuan Chen's arms, raising her chin, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Xuanyuan Chen patted Luo Xi's head. "I heard you came here and was a little worried, so I came."

He looked towards the cliff and asked, "Xi'er, what happened to Consort Xian?"

Luo Xi pushed him away and explained, "Your Majesty, I did not lay a hand on him."

She only used words.

Moreover, she was certain that Consort Xian knew there was a cliff ahead. Consort Xian knew, yet she still jumped; how can she be blamed? No, she can't.

Luo Xi: "She walked there on her own; I did not force her."

Luo Xi became increasingly angry as she spoke.

"Moreover, she clearly did not have amnesia; she still remembers the Emperor."

Luo Xi: "Your Majesty, will you blame me for Consort Xian's sake?"

"Or perhaps, you've fallen for her?"

Xuanyuan Chen: "No, how could I like her? I was just asking, I didn't mean to blame Xi'er."

Besides, how could he bear to part with it?

At this moment, Xuanyuan Chen recalled the memorials submitted by the ministers in recent days, and he gently suggested, "Xi'er, in the future... kill fewer people, okay?"

Luo Xi: !!!

"No, they provoked me first. I did nothing wrong. If I let them off easily, they will only become more demanding."

"Your Majesty, as the Empress, do I not even have the right to kill a few people?"

"Then what use is it for me to be Empress?"

Xuanyuan Chen: !!

What she said seems to make some sense.

"Fine, whatever."

As long as he is there, he will protect her.

Five days later,

Xuanhua Hall.

"Your Majesty, please do not indulge the Empress so much."

"The Empress is cruel and inhumane. We beg Your Majesty to order her execution."

Xuan Yuan Chen said with a gloomy expression, "Men, drag those people out and execute them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That day, Xuanyuan Chen went on a killing spree, killing more than a dozen ministers.

From that day on, no one dared to mention the matter of deposing the empress to the emperor again.
