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

Her greatest enemy had always been right beside her.

But it was too late. Fei Su's power had already weakened, and there was almost no one in the court who could restrain Li Yunsheng.

Finally, when she was sixteen, Li Yunsheng rebelled.

She then set herself on fire at Weiyang Palace, ending her life.

Now, she has been reborn, but her time is running out.

Because she is already sixteen years old this year.

In just a few months, Li Yunsheng will rebel.

In this life, she will carry out a political purge as swift as lightning.

Even if the court is in turmoil, Li Yunsheng must be eliminated first.

As for Fei Su, his power, which had already been suppressed by her and Li Yunsheng, has been greatly reduced.

The King of Qin had been away in his fiefdom for many years, and Fei Su could no longer support his niece.

Even without Li Yunsheng, he was confident that he could suppress the other party.

Furthermore, when faced with two evils, she has to choose the lesser one; she has no other choice now.

She knew that the best way was to have Fei Su and Li Yunsheng check and balance each other, so that her throne could be more secure.

However, there is no time to rebuild Fei Su's power so that it can rival Li Yunsheng's.

While she was still in a daze, a palace attendant reported to her.

"Your Majesty, Li Yunsheng requests an audience."

"what?"

Upon hearing Li Yunsheng's name, Jiang Qingying, who had done something wrong, felt a pang of anxiety.

Didn't he take leave?

"Judging from his appearance, he seems to be alright."

Jiang Qingying steadied herself.

"Let him in."

……

Fei Su was in a great mood as he walked out of the palace. Although his face was expressionless, his pace quickened unconsciously.

Li Yunsheng has suppressed him for so long, now it's finally his turn to turn the tables.

The Empress is still too young; what good would it do to allow her to rule in her own right?

Without Li Yunsheng, the court is still ruled by him alone.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Fei Su was just muttering to himself when he arrived at the palace gate and looked up to see Li Yunsheng walking in.

"Prime Minister Li."

Li Yunsheng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"What brings Prime Minister Fei to the palace?"

Fei Su naturally wouldn't reveal his true purpose for entering the palace, but instead joked about it.

"Prime Minister Li has been on leave these past few days because the affairs of the court are too complicated. I have come to complain to His Majesty."

Li Yunsheng could easily guess Fei Su's purpose in entering the palace, but now was not the time to expose him.

"Prime Minister Fei, you've had a tough time these past few days!"

"With Prime Minister Li around, the burden on my shoulders is much lighter."

Both of them wore smiles on their faces, but what they were thinking was—

'Li Yunsheng, you're dead!'

'Fei Su, you're dead!'

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Yunsheng entered Weiyang Palace.

Beside Taiye Pond.

Before he even got close, Li Yunsheng saw the empress in her dragon robe.

This was his first meeting with the female protagonist of his book, and to be honest, I was a little excited and curious.

I don't know what it looks like.

They're closer now—

The empress, dressed in a crimson-yellow dragon robe, was exactly as he had imagined when he wrote the book.

Those eyes were dazzling, and her delicate skin shone with a radiant glow.

Although she tried to appear dignified, she couldn't hide her beautiful face, which was as delicate as a lotus flower.

However, the place that lingered on his gaze the longest was the Empress's collarbone.

Slightly descending along the delicate and smooth swan neck, the collarbone is clearly defined, seemingly exuding a hint of allure; no wonder it's called the "beauty bone."

To be honest, he didn't describe the collarbone area when he wrote the book.

Therefore, this may be the result of the world in the book perfecting itself.

He believed he understood his readers, so he wrote everything that needed to be written, for example—

A huge uproar; long, slender legs.

Snow-covered buttocks, fat goose's rump

As soon as they met, the Empress gave him a lesson.

He never imagined that the collarbone area of ​​his body could have such a unique charm.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

Jiang Qingying, unaware of his thoughts, asked, "Is Li Qing feeling any better?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty, I am much better now."

"What brings you to the palace today, Minister Li?"

Li Yunsheng said respectfully.

"I have come today to ask Your Majesty a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, I wish to be a wise and virtuous minister in times of peace. Do you think I still have a chance?"

Jiang Qingying considered many possibilities, but she never expected that Li Ze would ask such a nonsensical question.

A wise and capable minister in times of peace?

She felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

You, Li Yunsheng, are about to rebel, yet you tell me you want to be a wise and virtuous minister who brings peace to the world?

“Li Qing, you always have been.”

With his innate abilities, Li Yunsheng was naturally able to tell that the Empress's words were not sincere.

The reason he came to see the Empress today was to tell her that Li Yunsheng was no longer the same Li Yunsheng.

He may not rebel, but the Empress should not cause trouble.

Of course, he couldn't say it directly.

You can't exactly say that you are the creator of this world.

Two days later, if the Empress insists on dealing with him, then the only option is to confront him in the court.

"Then I would like to tell Your Majesty a story."

"What story?" Jiang Qingying asked curiously.

"A story about Prime Minister Cao..."

A moment later, Li Yunsheng finished telling his story.

The Empress abruptly stood up, flicked her sleeve, and coldly questioned him.

"You want to become a traitor like Cao Cao!?"

Li Yunsheng: ...

"What I meant was that I would definitely become like the traitor Cao Cao. No, I will forever be a subject of Chu."

Jiang Qingying raised her delicate hand and pointed at him.

"You think you can make me Emperor Xian of Han? Don't even think about it!"

Li Yunsheng did not get angry, but instead asked a question.

"Does Your Majesty know why Chancellor Cao never declared himself emperor before his death?"

Oh--

Jiang Qingying turned her head away and gave a cold snort.

"He's just trying to protect his reputation and is afraid of being criticized behind his back."

"I do not think so."

Li Yunsheng raised his head and looked directly into the Empress's phoenix eyes.

He simply said something that left Jiang Qingying completely bewildered.

"Marriage is too bland, being a sugar daddy is the most exciting thing."

If the young empress can become a ruler who brings peace and stability to the country like the late emperor, then he will wholeheartedly strive to be a wise and virtuous minister like his father.

But the current empress cannot do that.

He wouldn't mind being a regent until the empress came of age.
