Wang momo was trembling all over. How can her mistress marry a criminal, and even without legs! How can she then find happiness?
— Dear Empress ! she yelled loudly. "Please open your eyes and look at Her Royal Highness, Senior Princess!" Wake up!
Everyone looked up at the sky after Wang momo started crying. So what if the Empress opened her eyes? But what could she do? Would you hit Consort Zhao with lightning? Right now, the skies above the palace were as clear as mountain rivers, except for the shining sun. When Wang momo screamed, lightning flashed in the sky, accompanied by a thunderous roar!
Did the venerable empress really open her eyes after that cry?
Perhaps that is how it was. The banyan under which Consort Zhao was standing broke one of his branches, burying his wife under the branch.
Could you really think that people from the world of the apocalypse only relied on evolution to be able to become more powerful? It's too naive. They would have been crushed into a cake by zombies if they hadn't also developed some superpowers. If Yu Xiaoxiao hadn't been too injured in her past life to call on her powers, then she wouldn't have had to exterminate those zombies with her anti-tank grenade. He would just summon lightning to kill them all!
"Con-Consort Zhao?"
In this dead silence, it was the faithful Jing Zhong (敬忠) who was the first to react from the crowd. When he ran to Consort Zhao, Xianzong was still looking at the sky. How did that lightning come and go so easily?
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at her hand. Here, her powers weakened. He wanted to cut the woman in half, but in the end only split the tree. Meanwhile, Wang momo recovered from her shock and bowed to the sky. "Respected Empress is benevolent and merciful, ah!
Everyone was amazed by her words. It seems that the respected empress was indeed merciful. Otherwise, wouldn't she have killed Consort Zhao with just one blow? But why hit the tree instead?
"Your Majesty, Consort Zhao is coughing up blood!" Jing Zhong exclaimed. He summoned several more eunuchs to part the branches and see under them the figure of Consort Zhao.
"Beloved Consort, you…" Xianzong rushed to the tree, but saw only Consort Zhao's pitiful nose and mouth, stained with blood. The sight left him speechless.
"Dear Empress, I wish you a happy journey! Wang momo was still screaming at the sky.
People from the Fengtian Dynasty (奉天王王朝) respected ghosts and gods, so many of them fell to their knees. When Xianzong thought of the empress watching from heaven, a chill ran down his spine and he involuntarily recoiled back.
"Come on." Yu Xiaoxiao turned to leave.
In the past, Wang momo was happy when Consort Zhao was unlucky, but this time she didn't feel happy. She followed Yu Xiaoxiao to the sidewalk and asked:
"Princess, ah, why did you oppose His Majesty on this matter? For now, she has chosen to ignore the fact that her princess has suddenly become so ferocious.
Xianzong also couldn't mess with kneeling courtiers. He ordered the people to carry Consort Zhao back, and then summoned the imperial physician. The sudden change in his own daughter may be resolved after saving the life of his beloved.
Chief Secretary Ying and the others were watching. Now they no longer had to risk their lives to beg for mercy. Although His Majesty is unreliable, he will never sit back and watch his daughter become a widow, right? Several officials left the palace and ran straight to the imperial court to break the good news to the imprisoned Gu family.
Yu Xiaoxiao returned to her residence in the Palace of Radiance and called all her servants to ask:
"Tell me now, what is happening to the Gu clan?"
Wang momo nearly fainted when her legs turned into jelly.
"Why did you tell His Majesty that you would marry them, but you don't know anything about them?"
Yu Xiaoxiao replied:
"Didn't you say that Young Master Gu is a good person?"
Wang momo replied:
"So you will marry if he is a good man?" Then--then there are many other good people in the world, I...
"Old Supreme Commander Gu was framed by the Zhao faction!" shouted Breezy's vassal loudly.
"Exactly," said the young eunuch Sandy. "The Gu Clan are loyal subjects!"
When Wang momo saw that all the other servants were nodding in agreement, she realized that the servants of the Palace of Radiance were still arrogant, righteous vassals.
Although Breezy and Sandy simultaneously struggled to find the right words and spoke to each other with any logic in their sentences, Yu Xiaoxiao still grasped the main ideas. The Gu clan was loyal to the point of martyrdom. Unfortunately, they insulted the Zhao faction and ended up not getting any recognition for their merit, being accused and sentenced to punishment.
"Your Royal Highness!" Breezy's face was full of indignation. "It was Old Supreme Commander Gu who recaptured the White Tiger Nation, but Chief Minister Zhao's son took all the credit!" It's impossible for Supreme Commander Gu and the others to be in cahoots with the enemy!
Sandy ground his teeth and added:
"If the Gu Clan didn't have the mark of the late empress that would save them from the death penalty, then they would have already been executed!"
Wang momo sighed.
"The Gu Clan may have been offended, but even the respected empress was unable to save them. Should a princess live like a commoner once she marries a lord from their family? All of them are still locked up in imperial prisons right now!
The man from the apocalypse could not understand the tears of blood that came from an evil spouse, destroying a faithful family in ancient times. Yu Xiaoxiao only felt that she could not take the path of a cruel female emperor no matter what. It was easy enough for her to run away, but what about everyone else? Although he had known them for less than 24 hours, he made inquiries that if she left, they would be accused of neglecting their duty to serve the princess and lose their heads. To properly leave the palace without being sent to the fiefdom, marriage was the only option.
As for that guy from the Gu clan who was supposed to be her lifelong companion, suffice it to say that people in the apocalypse had children with anyone to ensure the existence of the human race. There were no high moral principles, no such concepts as chastity and virginity. In Yu Xiaoxiao's opinion, it was far more important to find a way to get Wang momo and the others out of the palace. She will worry about this Gu clan boy when she has more time.
