"However, the odds are not high for the Empress Dowager..."
Zhou Yi guessed that His Majesty used him as a tool, his heart naturally inclined toward the Empress, yet he would not truly resent or rebel.
In the eyes of the common people, those willing to be tools for His Majesty could line up and circle the capital ten times; to them, the Emperor is a deity who rules over millions of lives.
If the deity requires you to die, that is a grace!
"Ever since the National Dynasty established its rule, there have been numerous Empresses and Empress Dowagers scheming for power and regency, but none has truly succeeded!"
With this in mind, Zhou Yi decided to temporarily be His Majesty's tool.
Continue to kill, continue to confiscate property!
This is the quickest way to power, and there is no other choice.
