The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

Seeing his master frozen in place, Eunuch Gao, who was standing nearby, was immediately filled with worry. He quickly whispered, "Everyone...why don't we stop here today? There are still many things that need your attention!"

But the empress just raised her hand, signaling Eunuch Gao not to say anything more.

She turned her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the ugly Wang Yuanya in front of her.

"Eating people? Isn't your father Doctor Wang? What's the matter? Would he let you eat people?"

The empress felt vaguely uneasy and tried desperately to deny everything Wang Yuanya said.

If we say that before, it was simply because Wang Yuanya was Li Jize's wife that we denied it for the sake of denying it.

That final denial! She wanted to prove herself!

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. Wang Yuanya sneered, "You're such a fool! I told you you were from a wealthy family, how could you know the suffering of the world? When I talk about cannibalism, I'm not talking about it! I saw them cannibalizing people and even eating their own children when I passed by the disaster area."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the empress's heart hard!

She had always believed that the people were rebelling because they were being despicable and were fooled by the rebels, so they were incited to rebel.

She had always believed that the taxes levied by her court were not heavy, only a few cents! She could survive anyway. Otherwise, she would not have imposed the three additional taxes.

But now...

Through Wang Yuanya's mouth, the empress heard extremely terrible news: the people in the disaster area were eating each other!

How could the ugly woman's words prove the horror of hunger? She was clearly slapping her own Empress in the face!

Snapped!

Slamming the table, the empress shouted, "Nonsense, woman! Great Qi is a glorious land. How could I... really be so ruthless as to eat people? Your Majesty is diligently governing the country, and the people's taxes are not heavy! Even in the areas severely affected by the disaster, Your Majesty has ordered local disaster relief. How could I possibly be so ruthless as to eat people?"

Wang Yuanya rolled her eyes when she heard that. Now that she was full, she sat lazily on the stone bench, touching her round belly, and picking her teeth with a toothpick in her other hand.

"I told you you haven't seen the outside world, and you still refuse to believe it! If you have time, you don't need to go far. Just go around the capital and you'll know if there's any cannibalism."

"you……"

She had come here with such rage, wanting to see the ugly woman make a fool of herself. Unexpectedly, instead of being humiliated by the empress, she was humiliated by the ugly woman instead!

Although she didn't know that she was the empress and didn't mention the current empress, every word she said was a slap in the face of the empress.

Seeing that his master was about to lose his temper, Eunuch Gao quickly stepped forward and waved his hand at the other eunuchs, "Throw the forks away!"

"Yes!"

Several eunuchs and palace maids came up, grabbed Wang Yuanya's arms on the left and right, and dragged her towards the palace behind.

Wang Yuanya was panicking. She yelled, "Hey hey... Is this the last meal before execution? Even if I have to be beheaded, can I still offer one last condition?"

The empress was stunned and raised her hand, and the eunuchs stopped.

Wang Yuanya: "Can I see my husband one last time? Just one last time!"

OK! The empress's face turned even uglier.

Eunuch Gao quickly shook off the dust and said in a shrill voice, "You can't see your husband! Just now, he has led his troops to fight the barbarians."

"what?"

This one sentence shocked Wang Yuanya, and her face was full of disbelief.

Your delicate wife is suffering in the palace, but instead of rescuing her, you continue to work for the empress, that fickle bitch.

Damn it! Li Jize! I am your real wife.

You are a heartless and unfaithful man!

"Throw it down! Throw it down!"

Seeing that the empress's expression was becoming increasingly grim, Eunuch Gao simply waved his hand and urged the eunuchs to hurry up.

Amidst Wang Yuanya's unwilling uproar, her voice disappeared...

The next moment, Eunuch Gao was just about to comfort and enlighten the emperor.

Who would have thought…

The empress's pretty face changed gloomily and unsteadily, and after a long time, she went crazy!

Turn around and run outside!

Eunuch Gao was stunned at first, then he panicked and shouted loudly, "Everyone! Everyone! Hurry... hurry and chase them! If His Majesty makes any mistake, we will take your heads!"

A crazy marathon competition was held throughout the palace.

The empress was running in front like a madman, followed by more and more eunuchs and palace maids who kept gathering and following her. Until the news that the emperor was going crazy and wanted to run out of the palace spread more and more, all the officials came running over.

This way...

The empress ran, recalling Wang Yuanya's words in her mind. Cannibalism! She didn't need to look far, right at the emperor's feet! In the royal capital, she could see such a tragedy.

She simply couldn't accept that after 15 years on the throne, the world she had diligently and meticulously governed had become a cannibalistic society!

At this moment, the Empress was truly devastated! She was filled with anxiety!

When she rushed to the palace gate, a leading imperial guard knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Please take care of your health, please..."

"Go away!"

The empress kicked the leading general away and continued to rush towards the palace gate. With a clatter, the guards at the gate and on the city wall all knelt down. They shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, please take care of the emperor's health! Please return to the palace!"

The empress suddenly pulled out the sword from one of the guards' waist and shouted, "Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will chop off your head!"

Who would have thought…

The head guard was kneeling there, with a knife at his neck, but he didn't move.

The Empress was furious! She was so angry that she wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

With a creaking sound, the palace gate slowly opened. The empress, who had raised her knife, froze on the spot. The moment she turned her head to look...

Outside the palace gate, a large and dense crowd of officials in court robes all knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please prioritize the country and the people! Your Majesty, please prioritize the emperor's health! Your Majesty, please return to the palace!"

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace!"

Empress: "..."

After a moment's silence, she suddenly burst into laughter and threw away the knife in her hand.

The empress's eyes swept over everyone present one by one, and then she suddenly stopped smiling and said through gritted teeth, "I! Am I still the master of this palace? Am I still the emperor of Da Qi?"

Everyone: "..."

"Today, I am leaving the palace! Who dares to stop me?"

All the officials were stunned, turning their heads to look directly at the Cabinet's Chief Minister, Ye Xianggao. The latter rolled his eyes, then glanced at the others and said coldly, "Didn't you hear what His Majesty said? His Majesty wants a swift investigation of the capital!"

Everyone suddenly realized: "We obey your order!"
