Chapter 416 The Ugly Queen's Smile: Fate Uncertain (1)
Su Dingding's sharp armor was about to pierce Chen Yin's eyes when Chen Yin suddenly knelt down in front of her.
"I was wrong."
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Su Dingding was stunned for a moment.
He really is flexible and adaptable; a monarch can kneel down whenever he wants.
She really wanted to keep Chen Yin's eyes so that he could see clearly the faces of everyone who had bullied him.
“If you are loyal to me, then eat all those paintings on the ground,” Su Dingding said meaningfully.
Chen Yin hesitated.
A palace maid kneeling to the side bit her lip and secretly glanced at Su Dingding.
If she can help His Majesty out of this predicament, she might rise to the top and become a Noble Consort, or even an Empress!
So she quietly got up, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and wanted to deliver a fatal blow to Su Dingding.
Su Dingding didn't even turn around to look at her. He simply reached out, grabbed her by the neck, and threw her away.
"Hahahahaha..."
Amidst the laughter, the overconfident palace maid crashed through the door, landing on the ground and coughing up blood.
The Empress Dowager entered and happened to witness this scene.
Still shaken, she leaned against the old nanny and peered into the palace.
Hearing that the emperor had been up all night, she felt heartbroken.
This princess from the Kingdom of Su seemed to have never seen a man in her entire life; she was truly afraid that her son would be tormented to death by her.
Yesterday was a grand wedding, and someone died; today, someone else has died.
"Empress, you..." The Empress Dowager was furious and wanted to confront her.
Upon entering, she was shocked to see the emperor kneeling on the ground, his hands trembling as he put a wad of Xuan paper into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Su Dingding was grabbing a palace maid by the neck and lifting her high into the air.
The palace maid's feet left the ground, and she kicked and struggled incessantly, her face turning purple and blue, when suddenly her neck was snapped.
The Empress Dowager turned pale, and before she could react, the palace maid had already been thrown to her feet.
He even sprayed her with blood!
"Outrageous! Yan Ruyu, how dare you!" The Empress Dowager no longer addressed her as Empress, but by her given name. "Guards! Bring her to me..."
Chen Yin wanted to remind his mother, but it was obviously too late.
Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, Su Dingding's laughter could be heard.
Chen Yin was so frightened that he ate the paper in large bites, not daring to stop at all.
The remaining palace maids dared not even breathe loudly, kneeling on the ground trembling without daring to raise their heads.
terrible!
The empress was ruthless; hearing her laughter was like receiving an order to kill without mercy.
Amidst laughter, the Empress Dowager had already fallen into Su Dingding's hands.
This old woman disliked her ever since the original owner entered the palace and constantly caused her trouble.
The original owner was very particular about etiquette and treated her with utmost respect. However, after learning that she was deliberately making things difficult for him, he tried to have as little contact with the Empress Dowager as possible.
After the original owner was banished to the cold palace, this Empress Dowager secretly sent people to deliberately bring her spoiled food and cause her trouble. She took away her clothes to wash but did not return them, leaving her with no clothes to wear.
In short, she's a vicious old woman.
Su Dingding gripped the Empress Dowager's neck and said in a low voice, "I'm short of an old nanny by my side, and you'd be perfect..."
The implication was that if she served as an old nanny, she would be given a chance to live; if she refused, she would be killed.
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
The Empress Dowager initially refused to yield, but after being slapped by Su Dingding, she immediately became obedient.
"I... no, this old servant... this old servant is willing to be your personal nanny."
With an emperor who has no backbone and an empress dowager who has no backbone, it's no wonder that foreign countries can't become powerful!
Su Dingding rolled her eyes, sat down on the stool, and made the Empress Dowager kneel down to massage her legs.
"Empress Dowager!"
The eunuchs and maids around the Empress Dowager looked at her in horror.
The princess of Su Kingdom has gone too far! How could she so arbitrarily humiliate their Empress Dowager and make her a lowly old nanny!
"Your Majesty, this old servant is willing to massage your legs." The old nanny beside the Empress Dowager had just walked over when Su Dingding kicked her away.
The Empress Dowager was startled and hurriedly knelt down to massage Su Dingding's legs.
She and the emperor exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a cryptic message.
The Empress Dowager then gave her men a meaningful look, signaling them to go find reinforcements.
No matter how powerful she is, she's just one person. I don't believe she can stand up to the entire Imperial Guard!
A young eunuch quietly slipped out and soon brought reinforcements.
The commander of the imperial guards led the Imperial Guards to completely surround the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor and empress dowager thought they could finally hold their heads high, and smiles appeared on their lips.
Just as the Empress Dowager was about to get up, she saw Su Dingding casually throw out a few pieces of pastry, which hit several Imperial Guards who fell to the ground, vomiting blood and dying.
The Empress Dowager, whose knees had been off the ground, silently knelt back down, and the situation did not seem to have changed.
Su Dingding grabbed the Empress Dowager's hair and asked fiercely, "Old woman, did you call these people here?"
The commander of the guards rushed in, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!"
After he finished speaking, he finally saw the situation clearly: the emperor was kneeling and eating paper, and the empress dowager was massaging the new empress's legs.
The other servants knelt on the ground in a large group, each too frightened to lift their heads.
The emperor wanted to stab the commander of the guards to death, but Su Dingding acted faster than him.
The commander of the guards felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that a piece of pastry had gone straight through his abdomen.
He coughed up blood again, knelt on the ground, and died without saying a word, his eyes wide open in death.
Su Dingding then looked at Chen Yin, "Is this your loyalty?"
Chen Yin hurriedly replied, trembling, "It has nothing to do with me. Please give me another chance, Your Majesty. I will do anything to prove my loyalty."
It seems that if we don't try it openly, we'll have to resort to a covert method—poisoning her food!
I refuse to believe I can't kill that ugly woman!
Su Dingding saw right through his little scheme and let out a cold laugh.
"Chen Yin, I need you to announce something during the morning court session!"
Upon hearing Su Dingding's request, Chen Yin's expression changed drastically, but he dared not refuse.
The Empress Dowager slowed down her leg massage a little, and Su Dingding slapped her again, saying, "If you slack off again, I'll kill you!"
"I'll never dare to do it again..." the Empress Dowager said softly, enduring the burning pain on her face.
Chen Yin walked heavily to the morning court session, a large green worm perched on his shoulder.
The courtiers had heard rumors about what was happening in the inner palace, and upon seeing the Emperor's face covered in wounds and unrecognizable, they all offered their advice.
"I had my wedding yesterday and drank a few too many cups. The injury on my face is from a fall," Chen Yin said nervously, glancing at the large green worm with its head held high. "During my recovery period, it will manage state affairs in my stead."
The ministers were taken aback. Who was the emperor talking about?
Gangzi jumped onto Chenyin's palm and shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yin suddenly slapped his palms together forcefully, trying to kill it in his hands.
Just as he slowly opened his palm, expecting to see a large, flattened green worm, he saw a handsome green worm fly up and splatter a puddle of green slime on his face.
Instantly, the intense burning sensation made Chen Yin scream.
Gangzi let out a cold snort, looked at the assembled officials, and declared, "Is there anyone else who dares to object?"
