The eunuchs' arrogance stemmed from the young empress's consistent tendency to yield and evade responsibility.
But to their utter surprise, this scheme enraged the Empress, who drew her sword and beheaded all the male servants and lovers!
When everyone rushed in after hearing the noise, they saw a bloody and gruesome scene, with male servants and lovers lying dead on the floor, barely clothed!
The Empress stood panting heavily in the pool of blood, her expression ferocious. Bloodstains splattered on her dragon robe, and the Tai'a sword in her hand was stained with bright red blood.
The eunuchs and court officials were startled and dared not force the empress to share a room with the male servants for a while. However, they were unwilling to let the young empress escape their control. With a quick thought, they sent people to stir up a storm of public opinion among the people.
"Your Majesty is ignorant, lustful, tyrannical, extravagant, and pleasure-seeking. He even takes pleasure in killing. He is simply a tyrant like Jie and Zhou!"
"With its oppressive policies, heavy taxes, and relentless military spending, the Great Kang Dynasty is doomed to perish sooner or later!"
"There has never been a woman who became emperor throughout history. We should tell her to abdicate and hand over the throne to the prime minister!"
All the wrong policies implemented by the eunuch faction and court officials were blamed on the Empress. It wasn't that the young Empress herself was unwilling to study, but rather that the eunuchs and court officials deliberately spoiled her and gave her no opportunity to read and learn.
The image of the empress as incompetent, lecherous, and utterly useless was firmly established in people's minds after she was caught in a room with a group of scantily clad male servants.
No minister had any hope for her anymore, and no minister truly respected her. Countless sycophants and corrupt officials were sent to the palace.
The empress was in great pain and felt extremely wronged, but her courtiers ignored her explanations and only accused her of indulging in sensual pleasures and sidelining her, never mentioning anything about letting her rule in her own right.
She died of illness at the age of twenty-three, and after fifteen years on the throne, she never managed to advance beyond the previous dynasty.
From her ascension to the throne until her death, she never truly smiled.
After the empress passed away without leaving any children, the court clamored for her to be adopted, but internal strife gradually arose. The Northern Rong from the northwestern grasslands took the opportunity to invade, and within a few years, they completely crushed the Great Kang Dynasty under the hooves of their warhorses.
Instead of reflecting on their actions, those court officials and eunuchs wrote her down in infamy in history books, calling her a tyrannical ruler who destroyed the entire dynasty and whose sins were so grave that they would never be forgotten.
“Crown Prince Xi, Sister A-Tong’s reincarnation has no memories related to you. She won’t remember you at all. Moreover, because she only has fragments of her soul, she is destined to die young and have a tragic fate. Even if you want to save her, she is destined not to live past the age of twenty-four!”
"I know."
"She is dead. You can collect fragments of her soul and send them into another small world for reincarnation. But if you want to find her, you can only waste a hundred years in that world until you die alone!"
"I know."
"I don't think you know anything—just go to that realm and quietly observe her. Don't provoke her if you shouldn't. Only think about other things after you've finished your reincarnation and truly returned!"
Xi impatiently cut off Adang's message, not wanting to listen to it any longer.
Ah Tong is his wife. How could he possibly stand by and watch her live a miserable life without intervening?
Even if the price is a hundred years of loneliness, he will change her life!
The person he possessed this time was a young major general of the Great Kang Dynasty stationed on the frontier.
When the Empress was a young princess, she studied martial arts under the only son of the Grand Marshal, who, according to human customs, could be considered her half-senior brother.
The Northern Rong are currently restless and frequently invade the border. The original owner came to the Northwest to lead troops, but unfortunately died unexpectedly in a battle not long ago.
