Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Therefore, the cheongsam is far less acceptable than the wide-sleeved shirt.

The slit height, in the Empress's eyes, was exceptionally exaggerated, exuding an air of vulgarity.

Jiang Qingying stared at the threshold in front of her, unsure of how to step forward.

The overwhelming hatred I felt just moments ago has unknowingly turned into shame and indignation.

She disregarded the emperor's dignity, pinched her skirt, bent over, turned sideways, and stepped over the high threshold.

Once she stepped outside, she realized a problem.

This skirt is so tight that if you hold onto the slit with both hands, you can't move your legs at all.

Moreover, how could a dignified emperor bow down before his ministers?

Li Yun Sheng suppressed a laugh as he watched the Empress bend over, clutching her dress with both hands.

He wanted to straighten his back to avoid losing his dignity.

She took small, quick steps and slowly walked out of the door.

Jiang Qingying's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat from walking such a short distance of less than two meters.

She looked up and found Li Yunsheng staring at her intently.

"Your Majesty has been disrespectful."

As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Jiang Qingying immediately straightened her back and habitually flicked her sleeve.

He belatedly realized that he was not wearing a dragon robe.

Looking at the Empress standing tall before him, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

My sister is right, purple has a lot of charm.

Her brocade robe was dazzling, and she possessed a graceful demeanor; her round hips, jade-like legs, and slender waist were exquisite.

A strong classical charm permeated the Empress's entire being:

The high collar accentuated her slender neck, revealing it subtly yet subtly.

The twisted and knotted flower-shaped buttons are joined together in pairs, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Her curvaceous figure, her slender waist that could be encircled by a hand, her graceful demeanor, alluring yet not seductive.

Through the gap where the two skirts were spread high, her fair legs were faintly visible, and the woman's charm swayed endlessly in an instant.

The joy and satisfaction in the hearts of the viewers, like the joy of a wedding night or passing the imperial examination, rises and permeates every inch of their skin.

The Empress's expression was one of gritted teeth and suppressed tears, a fierce yet adorable look that suggested she dared not speak her anger.

He gradually grew stronger from the pain and made up his mind to turn evil and prepare to fight back.

According to Li Yunsheng's assessment, this is a traditional second female lead.

"Your Majesty, this dress is called a cheongsam, and it is a proper dress."

His sitting, standing, walking, and gait are all measured and proper, not ostentatious, yet he possesses a captivating aura.

If Li Yunsheng hadn't suddenly pulled a Polaroid camera out of his sleeve, Jiang Qingying would almost have believed him with his serious demeanor.

With the click of the shutter, the photographic paper was slowly pushed out of the Polaroid camera.

When Jiang Qingying saw Li Yunsheng take out something she had never seen before, she immediately raised her arm defensively.

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

Chapter 20 The Empress Wears This Kind of Dress in Private?!

[Emotional Value +10000]

Jiang Qingying's voice trembled slightly: "I'm going to call for help!"

She wanted to call for help, but dared not, for she was still wearing a cheongsam and it would be disgraceful if the guards saw her.

Just as Jiang Qingying thought Li Yunsheng had developed lustful thoughts, Li Yunsheng bowed and said...

"My minister retire."

His emotional state improved again, but he only briefly touched the food before leaving the main hall.

In the empty hall, only Jiang Qingying remained.

She stared at the closed palace doors after Li Yunsheng left, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Li Zei just left like that?

Also, what was he holding in his hand just now?

After glancing at the palace gate again, Jiang Qingying didn't have time to think about anything else and immediately turned around and ran back to the inner room.

After closing the door, she quickly took off her cheongsam.

Only when she put on the dragon robe did her heart finally settle down a little.

She glanced at the cheongsam on the soft couch, then forcefully tore at it with both hands, wanting to rip it to shreds.

However, the cheongsam was so exquisitely made that she found she couldn't tear it no matter how hard she tried.

Just as she turned around to look for the scissors, she suddenly realized—Li Zei had run away without giving her the antidote!

Jiang Qingying threw her cheongsam onto the soft couch and ran out of the inner room.

"Li Yunsheng!"

Upon hearing the shout, the doors of the main hall were pushed open, and the female official quickly entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li has just left the palace. Should we bring him back?"

At this moment, Jiang Qingying suddenly noticed a white porcelain bottle on the table in the main hall.

Beside it, there was also a memorial to the throne.

Jiang Qingying picked up the white porcelain bottle and handed it to the female official beside her.

"Quickly give it to Shangguan Xuanran to take."

"According to the order."

The female official accepted the porcelain bottle with both hands and left the main hall.

Jiang Qingying opened the memorial, wanting to see what tricks Li Ze had up his sleeve this time.

Your Majesty, I have supported your ascension to the throne with unwavering loyalty and devotion, as clear as the sun and moon.

Now, some people, seeing my power and influence, make unfounded speculations and suspect that I have ulterior motives.

This is utterly wrong!

However, it was not feasible to ask the envoy to relinquish his military power and resign from his position as prime minister.

Since I began supporting Your Majesty, I have made countless enemies, and I am truly afraid of being harmed by treacherous individuals.

Your Majesty is young. If I fail, the country will be in grave danger, and the nation will surely be in chaos!

How could I possibly seek empty fame and invite great disaster?

Who knows the extent of his painstaking efforts?

Jiang Qingying calmly placed the memorial aside, but its contents kept echoing in her mind.

If it weren't for Li Yunsheng, it's uncertain who would be sitting on this throne.

With Fei Su's influence, even if she were to become the crown prince, the King of Qin might still have a chance to compete for it.

If Li Yunsheng hadn't held military power in the northern border and held the position of prime minister...

I'm afraid the King of Qin might not be as obedient as he is now.

Looking back, Li Yunsheng became a rising star in the imperial court at a young age.

Before getting involved in factional strife, he truly had no enemies in the court.

The political infighting was not as simple as she had imagined.

Many of the conspiracies and schemes were carried out by Li Yunsheng on her behalf.

If Li Yunsheng were to relinquish his military power in the northern border, there would indeed be many who would want to harm him.

Every sentence in this memorial is the truth.

If I hadn't known that this thief was bound to rebel, I would have truly believed his lies today!

"Humph!"

Jiang Qingying casually tossed the memorial into the wastepaper basket.

"I have long seen through your heart!"

Recalling the humiliation she had suffered while wearing the cheongsam, Jiang Qingying felt only annoyance.

"Go and fetch a pot of wine."

"Yes."

By the time Shangguan Xuanran took the antidote and came to the palace to express his gratitude, Jiang Qingying's cheeks were already flushed.

"His Majesty."

Jiang Qingying looked at Shangguan Xuanran with bleary eyes, still drunk.

"Xuanran, you're awake?"

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health and refrain from drinking."

"Don't stop me. Li Yunsheng has gone against the grain, are you going to go against the grain too?"

"His Majesty……"

Shangguan Xuanran was very eager to know what conditions the Empress had agreed to with Li Yunsheng in order to obtain the antidote.

But the empress was already drunk, so she couldn't ask in front of so many people.

"Your Majesty, let me help you to rest."
