Chapter 546:

Pleasing Her Majesty (1)

#Female Headlines: Dongqing instigate a rebel whenever she wants to#

“There corruption case of the Zhou family has been proven with valid evidence. Please make a decision, your majesty.”

“Please investigate the case properly. The Zhou family are a loyal family. They had been following the late emperor to fight wars and there is no way they will embezzle money and engage in corrupted practices.”

“Please investigate the case properly, your Majesty.”

Ming Shu opened her eyes and saw a bunch of officials kneeling below her. Her elbow was in pain and her back was cold. Before she came, this body had been experiencing such pains too.

Ming Shu scanned her surroundings secretly. This should be the palace. She was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a throne. So…

I am the emperor?

Ming Shu looked down at her chest. Or am I an empress?

“Please investigate it properly your Mister! Lord Zhou is wronged!” The one that spoke was the official that was kneeling on the ground. There was already blood on his forehead.

The officials on the left couldn’t bear to look at him and some of them even kneel down to beg the emperor too. However, most of the people didn’t move.

A lady was leading the pack of officials on the right. She looked really beautiful and stood at the front of the officials, looking at the officials kneeling on the floor in the middle of the hall.

Those officials that wanted to convict the Zhou family were all from the right.

“What do you mean by wrong? There are so many pieces of evidence and witnesses. How dare you all say that they are wronged. Are you all on the same side as the Zhou family?”

The person on the floor shouted, “Official Zhao, you have been with the late emperor too. How can you say such nonsense? Don’t you know what kind of person Lord Zhou is?”

Official Zhao shook her head, “it is not about whether I believe him or not. There are so many pieces of evidence so how do you expect me to believe him? I am doing it for her Mister and for the entire nation.”

“You…”

“I believe that her Majesty would make a fair decision. Please make a decision, your Majesty.”

Ming Shu listened to the officials talking below her and felt her head hurting.

Wronged what! Decide on what thing?

I am in a daze. Give me some snacks!

Ming Shu suddenly got up. The hall turned quiet and the lady on the right looked over. She called in a clear voice, “your Majesty?”

Ming Shu shouted calmly, “end the session.”

Don’t be scared, I am the emperor. No one will oppose me.”

“End -” the eunuch beside her shouted shrilly. The officials were stunned. Why did the court session suddenly ended? And the empress… didn’t look good.

If we end the session now, what would happen to the Zhou family?

The lady on the right frowned and wanted to stop Ming Shu. However, Ming Shu had already turned around and left with the crowd of maids and eunuchs.

Ming Shu didn’t know where to go. Luckily, there was a eunuch walking in front of her and she just needed to follow the eunuch.

“Your Majesty, shall we return to the Yangxin Hall or go to Weiyang Palace?”

The eunuch that shouted just now asked her softly.

Yangxin Hall? Weiyang Palace? Based on the normal storyline… the Yangxin Hall should be safer.

“Yangxin Hall.”

The eunuch acknowledged her and led Ming Shu to the Yangxin Hall.

The Yangxin Hall was the place where she normally handled official business. Ming Shu waved her hand and asked the other people to leave. She started downloading the storyline.

The fake female protagonist was called Ning Furong. She was reborn.

Five years ago, Empress Dongyu of the Purple Moon Nation destroyed Afterglow Nation and took over the world.

Ning Furong was the was a daughter of a rich family from the Afterglow Nation. To show forth her kindness, the new empress allowed many old officials from the Afterglow Nation to stay but they would not be given heavy responsibility.

This happened to the Ning family too.

However, Dongyu died three years after taking over the world and crown princess Dongqing took over the throne.

After the new empress took over, ladies started to have a higher position in the nation.

In her past life, Ning Furong was talented and gained the recognition of the new Empress. She got a position in court for herself.

Ning Furong met the male protagonist, Ye Mochen, at this timing.

Ye Mochen was a Prince of the past nation. He wasn’t willing to accept the fact that his nation was destroyed and stayed in the nation after changing his name and looks. He was waiting to resurrect his nation.

Ning Furong liked Ye Mochen. Now, the status of the man had changed. She tried to let the new empress assigned a marriage to her but got rejected.

Also, at that time, Ye Mochen had already met the female protagonist. How could he be together with Ning Furong then? Ning Furong couldn’t get the Ye Mochen and started having hatred in her heart. She started digging her own grave.

In the end, Ning Furong died and her entire family was affected. They were exiled to the frontier region ot become prostitutes. After she died, she reborn back to the time when the old nation was just destroyed. Hence, Ning Furong carried her hatred and schemed her way through.

She felt that she was too useless in the past. She couldn’t get the person she liked and couldn’t protect her family. Since she was reborn, she must stand at the highest position.

Ning Furong destroyed the Purple Moon Nation and then became the Empress herself. She locked Ye Mochen up and tortured the female protagonist to death.

The Host was called Dongqing, the crown princess of Purple Moon Nation.

When Ning Furong was reborn, the late Empress had just ascended the throne and she was still the crown princess.

The first thing that Ning Furong did was to enter the imperial palace and became Dongqing’s studymate.

Dongqing had a bad temper and angered many studymates away. This caused Ning Furong to gain an advantage and stood out from the crowd. Ever since then, she started staying beside Dongqing.

Dongqing didn’t like the task the Empress Dongyu gave her. Ning Furong would complete the assignments for her and then bring her to have fun and play around.

Slowly, Dongqing started to hate doing assignments and all she thought of was having fun.

Empress Dongyu passed away three years later just like what happened in her past life. Due to Ning Furong, Dongqing didn’t know anything and had to ask Ning Furong for advice about everything.

Ning Furong quickly became the popular person beside Dongqing. She was the most powerful person besides Dongqing.

Ning Furong became the prime minister and started gaining people under her wings. Her power started to increase in the imperial court.

Under the instigation of Ning Furong, Dongqing continued to loaf around, have a weird temper, immerse with men, and lead a life as a useless empress.

When Ning Furong became so powerful, she overthrew Dongqing claiming that she was immoral and useless, not caring about the life of her people.

It didn’t end there. Even though Dongqing had no more power anymore, Ning Furong still didn’t want to let her off and wanted to kill her.

Dongyi managed to escape. Dongqing came to a realization then. Her trusted follower told her that they still had a chance. Dongqing wanted to get revenge but since she had not been doing anything for so many years, she still failed in the end.

Dongqing lost.

Her body was not even found.

If Ning Furong wasn’t reborn, Dongqing would become a diligent and caring empress that would leave a mark in history. It was Ning Furong who guided her onto the wrong path and force her to become the final boss.

Ming Shu grabbed the fruit on the table and took two bites of it. She slowly thought about the situation now.

Dongqing had just ascended the throne for half a year. Ning Furong was already the prime minister. The lady on the right side of the court was her…

At that time, Ning Furong had already started her plan to destroy all the officials that supported Dongqing. These officials were left behind by the late emperor to help the host. Ning Furong knew that she couldn’t bribe them and just decided to kill them all.

Zhou family…

Was the first victim.

She came at a very interesting time. There was already conclusive evidence regarding the Zhou family’s case. If she didn’t come over, the imperial decree might have already been given.
