"First of all, you are not qualified to refer to yourself as 'this Empress' in front of me."
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Jiang Tian walked over, opened the car door, and jumped in.
"Empress Dowager Xiao, if you want me to spare you, you will serve me by leading my horse and whipping my whip."
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Xiao's chest heaved.
Just then.
Several people rushed out from the crowd: "Jiang Tian, you scoundrel, how dare you bully our Empress Dowager!"
"Even if we have to fight you to the death, we won't let you bully Hou too much."
These men drew their curved swords from their waists and slashed straight at Jiang Tian.
"You insolent fools, get out of my way!" Empress Dowager Xiao roared at the Khitan warriors who had charged at her.
The Khitan warriors stood there, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Their eyes were filled with pleading; they did not want their country's Empress Dowager to be humiliated by Jiang Tian in this way.
"Put your knives away now! You're getting more and more audacious. How dare you brandish knives and spears in front of me?"
Before Empress Xiao could finish speaking, these people quickly threw their scimitars to the ground.
They knelt down one by one before Empress Dowager Xiao.
"Men, drag them away and chop off their heads."
"This..." The personal guards next to her thought they had misheard. Before they could even hesitate, Empress Dowager Xiao slapped them several times.
"Even you don't listen to me, what use are you to me?"
These people quickly pulled the assassins aside.
With a few swift movements, the heads of these assassins were severed.
Jiang Tian smiled slightly; Empress Dowager Xiao was indeed quite capable.
Empress Dowager Xiao waved to the coachman.
The coachman knelt before Empress Dowager Xiao and respectfully handed her the riding whip.
Empress Dowager Xiao turned around and smiled slightly: "My lord, please get in the carriage. I will then lead the horse and whip it for you, and drive the carriage all the way to the capital."
After Jiang Tian got into the car, he closed the door and said, "Dian Wei, you two ride horses and pull my car along."
"promise……"
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the several beautiful palace maids again: "You must serve the master well in the carriage, do you understand?"
The palace maids nodded repeatedly: "We will obey the Empress Dowager's decree."
"Lord Jiang, are you seated properly?"
"We can set off now."
As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, Empress Dowager Xiao jumped into the carriage and sat outside.
The woman suddenly swung her riding whip, and with a sharp crack, the whip snapped through the air.
The carriage slowly started moving.
Those ceremonial guards were at the forefront.
The civil and military officials also mounted their horses one after another.
I never expected Empress Xiao to drive horses so well these past two days!
This enormous carriage was pulled by eight warhorses.
Normally, it takes more than two drivers to get there.
But Empress Xiao, a woman who grew up on horseback, was able to drive the carriage so well.
The palace maids inside the carriage were terrified and didn't know what to do when they saw Jiang Tian.
"I'm not going to eat you all, so come closer to me."
The women quickly nodded, then shrank back and moved closer to Jiang Tian.
"I wonder what your orders are, sir?"
Jiang opened his arms and rested his head on them.
The palace maids were terrified when they saw it.
They quickly lay down inside the carriage, saying, "My lord, please rest against our bodies."
"My lord, it's cold in the carriage. Let me warm your feet." A palace maid took off Jiang Tian's boots and held his feet in her arms.
Another palace maid rested Jiang Tian's head against her chest.
Suddenly, a woman's fragrance, accompanied by warmth, wafted over.
"How does your Empress Dowager live without a man?" Jiang Tian knew that this Empress Dowager Xiao had lost her husband when she was 19 years old.
Although Empress Xiao is well-maintained, she still has quite a few crow's feet around her eyes.
Jiang Tian estimated that Empress Xiao was at least 40 years old.
These palace maids were trembling with fear and dared not speak carelessly.
"Why are you all afraid to answer my questions?"
“The Empress Dowager lives in the palace, and we palace maids and eunuchs take care of her daily life,” a palace maid quickly said.
"You've got a good tongue."
"Where is Murong Chui?" Jiang Tian received anger points for a period of time. The system notification indicated that Murong Chui and Empress Xiao's anger points appeared almost at the same time.
Jiang Tian guessed that Murong Chui and Empress Xiao must be together.
The palace maids immediately fell silent.
It was noticeable that they were trembling slightly.
"Don't be so nervous." Jiang Tian opened the system shop and exchanged some candy, and then took out some washed Shine Muscat grapes from the system warehouse.
Jiang Tian peeled the skin off this handful of fruit candies.
These fruit candies are all colorful.
These palace maids had never seen such shiny and beautiful fruit candies before.
"You girls, open your mouths." Jiang Tian smiled slightly at them.
Jiang Tian was already handsome.
These palace maids initially viewed Jiang Tian as a raging flood or a ferocious beast.
But after chatting for a while, they found that Jiang Tian was very approachable.
The girls were incredibly excited when they saw the fruit candies in Jiang Tian's hand.
Jiang Tian told them to open their mouths slightly, and the girls did as he asked.
Jiang Tian stuffed the peeled fruit candies into the mouths of the palace maids.
Instantly, a refreshing fruity aroma, accompanied by sweetness, filled the entire mouth.
These girls have never eaten anything so delicious before.
After they ate the fruit candy, Jiang Tian gave them some grapes.
Soon, the girls started talking non-stop.
They answered whatever Jiang Tian asked.
These girls would say anything Jiang Tian asked.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the car.
Outside the carriage, Empress Dowager Xiao stood shivering in the biting wind.
But this woman dared not do anything.
Huo Qubing led more than 10,000 cavalrymen closely following behind.
These more than 10,000 cavalrymen moved in perfect unison.
Even their Liao Kingdom's most elite cavalry were no match for Huo Qubing; these cavalrymen were highly trained.
Not only did Empress Dowager Xiao dare not act rashly, but all the civil and military officials in the court also dared not act rashly.
The assassins who were just ordered to be killed by Empress Dowager Xiao are still alive.
Sighs could be heard from time to time among the crowd.
Several people even ran up to Empress Dowager Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, let your humble servants lead your horse and whip you."
"Your Majesty, you are sitting in this carriage, shivering from the cold. It pains me to see you like this."
Xiao Yanyan shook her head: "All of you shut up. I don't want to hear a single word of your nonsense."
Empress Dowager Xiao brought her hands, which were already somewhat numb from the cold, to her mouth and gently breathed on them twice.
