Chapter 460
The young empress, overwhelmed by anger, collapsed from her already weakened body, causing chaos throughout the palace.
The Imperial Guards and palace servants were terrified and hurriedly sent the young empress back to the Chaohuang Palace.
Liang Rong was still kneeling on the ground, her face pale, bewildered and terrified.
Two words suddenly popped into her mind: It's over!
If the young empress turns against the Liang family, can the Liang family still defeat the regent?
That bitch Fu Chuxue will definitely take this opportunity to drag the Liang family into the mud.
After that, will the Liang family still have a place in the capital, no, in the entire Fengyuan?
Why is this happening?
Liang Rong felt both resentful and afraid, and couldn't help but blame her eldest daughter.
That idiot Liang Wumei, how could she have seen him push the little empress to take the blow?
Is everything alright now?
The entire Liang family will probably have to pay the price for her stupidity.
No, no!
She couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Liang Rong glared resentfully in the direction of the Phoenix Palace, then hurriedly left the palace to consult with her clansmen and advisors about countermeasures.
...
In the Imperial Study, the Regent, who was discussing matters with several trusted ministers, changed his expression upon hearing that the young Empress had fainted from anger at Liang Rong. He abruptly stood up, abandoned everyone, and strode towards the Phoenix Palace.
The ministers exchanged bewildered glances. What was this?
Wasn't the young empress always very close to the Liang family and Prime Minister Liang?
Why did you faint from anger?
What exactly happened?
They had all previously thought that if His Highness threw Liang Wumei into the dark dungeon, His Majesty would be the first to come and clash with His Highness.
Now it seems His Majesty might be going to fight the Liang family?
Is there something wrong with this development?
Or is the Little Empress and the Liang family plotting something?
Several ministers felt that whether they wanted to gather information or to show concern for His Majesty, they should now make a trip to the Chaohuang Palace.
However, Yue Wu stopped them all and told them to go about their own business.
Several ministers: "..."
Not only does His Majesty seem a bit strange, but His Highness has also seemed a bit... well, it's hard to say.
They always felt that something big might be about to happen?
Could it be that His Highness has finally had enough and is about to rebel, replacing the young empress?
Yue Wu's lips twitched. What were these people thinking?
His Highness has never thought of rebelling!
However, nobody believed it!
Okay, even if it were Yue Wu or one of them, he wouldn't believe it.
Therefore, Your Highness is truly more wronged than Dou E.
Being a regent is no easy job!
...
Chaohuang Hall
The regent rushed over in a panic, only to find the little empress, who was rumored to be on the verge of death, sitting on a soft couch... swinging her little legs and eating melon seeds.
There was also a group of imperial physicians squatting on the ground nearby, also eating sunflower seeds.
The clicking and clacking sounds completely undermine the majesty of this imperial palace.
Regent: "..."
Who fed His Majesty these things?
Drag him out and chop him up!
The young girl looked extremely well-behaved, provided one ignored the fact that she was ordering the imperial physicians to do bad things while eating melon seeds.
"Remember to make my illness sound more serious. Anyway, my injuries haven't healed yet. Yes, yes, just write that I was so angered by Prime Minister Liang that I vomited blood and was on the verge of death."
The imperial physicians were so frightened that they dropped their melon seeds.
No, Your Majesty, is it something to casually utter such words as "passing away"?
Is it taboo or not?
Wen Xin said there were no taboos.
If talking could kill, she could say it twenty times a day and make Jiang Yanche and Liang Rong die, without missing a single one, and she wouldn't be afraid of them getting arrogant.
Seeing the imperial physicians trembling with fear, the little empress slammed her little paw on the table and said domineeringly, "What are you afraid of? I don't blame you. Even if you say I'm going to die, it's my own doing. At most, you'll have to come and be buried with me. It's a small matter, calm down!"
The imperial physicians: "..."
What a trivial matter!
Can't Your Majesty just let these poor little bastards go?
Being a royal physician is a damn high-risk profession!
"His Majesty!"
A stern, cold voice rang out, and the domineering little empress trembled instantly, dropping the melon seeds in her hand to the ground with a clatter.
She instinctively hid the plate of melon seeds on the small table, then slid off the comfy couch, stood up straight, and raised her hand—it looked like she could give a military salute.
The young empress stood with her hands behind her back, blinking her clear, innocent eyes, and smiled sweetly and obediently, "Your Highness, when did you arrive? Why didn't anyone announce your arrival?"
She glared at Granny Wan: My obedient image in front of His Highness is ruined! Pay me back!
With her head bowed, Granny Wan thought to herself: Your Majesty, when have you ever been obedient in front of the Regent?
Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?
Little Jin nodded secretly: What do you mean, "well-behaved"? The owner is clearly having a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? Oh, or maybe just plain crazy!
Wen Xin: "..."
The Regent exuded a chilling aura, his deep gaze fixed on her, radiating pressure. "What is Your Majesty doing?"
Pretending to faint was one thing, but she even went so far as to say something like "passing away" without any restraint.
This child is becoming increasingly disobedient.
How could Wen Xin not sense the suppressed anger of the cold and handsome regent in front of her?
Her heart was beating a little fast, and the fragments of her soul instinctively feared him.
Seeing the little empress take a step back, her face pale and her eyes misty with tears, as if she were frightened, the regent felt a tightness in his chest, the anger in his eyes dissipated, and his thin lips pressed together.
The regent coldly swept his gaze over the group of royal physicians kneeling and trembling on the ground.
Get out of my sight, all of you!
If her medical skills are not good when treating His Majesty's injuries, it will lead to her being corrupted behind her back.
A bunch of bastards, do you want to lose your heads?
The imperial physicians, filled with bitterness and resentment, had no way to express their suffering.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
None of the leaders are reasonable; they always blame their subordinates for everything.
Throughout history and across the world, subordinates have always been scapegoats and punching bags!
However, the imperial physicians only dared to mutter to themselves and quickly moved away along the corner of the wall. Granny Wan also led the palace servants away, leaving space for the two masters.
The regent looked at the uneasy young emperor, sighed inwardly, and raised his hand to greet him, "Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you."
"Your Majesty, I was impolite and offended you. Please punish me."
A sweet fragrance wafted by, and before the Regent could react, a warm and soft body was thrust into his arms.
The Regent: "!!!"
The young empress hugged his strong waist, buried her face in his chest, and said in a soft, timid voice, full of grievance, "Your Highness, you scared me."
The regent's body was as stiff as a stone, and his expression was even more tense, more serious than when he was going to the battlefield.
He didn't know where to put his hands.
The young empress choked back tears, "Your Highness, I am so sad."
Regent: "..."
After a moment, he paused, then gently patted her shoulder. "It was my fault."
“I wasn’t talking about Your Highness.”
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
Wen Xin: "Waaaaah..."
The regent was even more at a loss. Having never comforted a child before, he had no idea what to do at this moment.
This is even more of a headache for him than the previous distrust of the young emperor.
