Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

Meanwhile, a man in black was kneeling on the steps in front of the hall of Liuyang Palace. At this moment, the man in black was coldly reporting: "Empress Dowager, the Third Prince and General Song are currently in Dali Temple prison."

Ulena was leaning back in her chair, leisurely eating chilled watermelon, when she heard the man in black say this. She immediately sat up straight: "Are you serious? Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I saw it clearly!"

Ulena narrowed her eyes, then glanced sideways and ordered, "Go quickly, and find out exactly what they said when they met."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Jie Yibu, the man in black, accepted the order and left.

Ulena threw down the watermelon in her hand, stood up irritably, and paced back and forth restlessly.

General Song is the son of Prefect Song; how could she forget that?

General Song enjoys considerable prestige in the court, and many of his subordinates are loyal to him. If he were to harbor disloyal intentions, his strength should not be underestimated.

General Song and Zhu Yuanzhang had a very close relationship. If they reached an agreement and joined forces, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Since Ji'er took the throne, she has not accomplished anything in the past two years. Instead, she indulges in nightly revelry and extravagance. The court officials have long had opinions about this, but she has been suppressing them all.

Furthermore, the current emperor is not a royal descendant, yet he doesn't resemble the late emperor at all; instead, he looks somewhat like Eunuch Gao. There have been whispers about this in private, but no one dares to say anything more.

At that time, a young eunuch was too outspoken and unintentionally said something inappropriate. Later, the young eunuch disappeared without a trace. Wu Liana knew that Gao Lian'an had secretly resolved the matter.

However, public opinion is hard to suppress. There were already various voices in the court. If Ji'er made any further mistakes, the officials would impeach her. In addition, with Zhu Yuanzhang and Song Wenjie joining forces, the situation would be very unfavorable for them.

Thinking about the palace maid who came to report the Emperor's outrageous behavior last night, her head was buzzing and her temples were throbbing.

Ulena closed her eyes and pressed her temples with both hands: "Someone, prepare a sedan chair and escort us to the Qiankun Palace."

"Yes!" The palace maid beside her bowed her head and quickly walked out.

Qiankun Official

Qiankun Palace is the emperor's bedroom, grand and imposing. At this moment, the red curtains in the inner room are slightly drawn, and the floor is littered with messy clothes.

It was clear that the battle last night was intense, and there was even an atmosphere of lovemaking in the air.

"whee……"

A burst of laughter rang out from inside the red tent: "Your Majesty, why are you being so restless again after just waking up?"

"My darling, how can I fall asleep with you lying next to me? Besides, I haven't had breakfast yet!"

"Haha~"

Another burst of laughter rang out: "Your Majesty is so mischievous! The three of us sisters didn't even feed you properly last night!"

"That was last night, and it's just three meals a day! You can't escape!"

Hehehe~ Hmm~

A satisfied groan echoed from inside the red tent.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was standing by the window, listening to the filthy laughter and moans coming from inside the room. She looked up at the sun overhead and her face turned ashen with anger.

Ulena's voice suddenly turned icy cold: "It's the height of summer, and it's already noon. The Emperor is still not up. He must be sleeping very well!" After saying that, Ulena moved to the main gate.

Zhu Ji, who was in the middle of an exciting moment, turned pale with fright upon hearing Wu Liana's voice and shrank back in fear: "Did you hear someone talking just now?"

Ah ~

The women on the bed exchanged bewildered glances and shook their heads in confusion: "Your Majesty, we didn't hear anything."

Just then, Li Gonggong's panicked voice rang out from the doorway: "Empress Dowager, the Emperor reviewed memorials very late last night and hasn't gotten up yet! Perhaps I should go in and inform him?"

"No need. The Emperor has been awake for a long time. Eunuch Li, don't try to cover for the Emperor. I'll deal with you later!"

The father-in-law immediately knelt down and kowtowed, pleading, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was pushed open with a bang.

Empress Dowager Ulena walked in with a livid face, followed by two palace maids. The two maids were red-faced and stared intently at the ground, not daring to look around.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "You two, step back." The two palace maids immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned to leave.

Neither of them wanted to get a sty; they both wanted to crawl into a hole after hearing that sound from under the window.

Ulena stared at the swaying red curtains, her face cold as she scolded, "You bunch of sluts, get dressed and get out here right now."

Oh no, the Empress Dowager is here!

Finished!

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's voice, Emperor Zhu Ji's mind went blank.

The Empress Dowager is always decisive and efficient, and now that she has caught these women in the act, it seems their lives are in danger.

The emperor quickly stood up, but couldn't find his clothes, so he grabbed an outer robe and put it on, then tied a belt around his waist.

The women on the bed turned pale and frantically searched for their clothes.

Only then did I realize that I had been playing too wildly last night and had thrown all my clothes on the ground.

One woman thought of wrapping herself in a bed sheet, but unexpectedly, other women also came up with the same idea, and the two women started pulling at each other.

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

The Emperor lifted the red curtain and nervously stepped forward to pay his respects: "Greetings, Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Do you even respect me as your mother? Get those wretches out here right now!"

"Emperor~"

The eunuch Li outside the door quickly bowed and kowtowed as he entered.

The Emperor gestured with his chin towards the clothes on the ground. Eunuch Li understood immediately and quickly gathered up all the clothes on the ground. He covered his face and, through the red curtain, reached inside the clothes.

The women inside saw the clothes being handed over and quickly snatched them, hurriedly putting them on.

"Mother, the midday sun is so strong, why did you come here at this hour?" Zhu Ji asked with a fawning smile.

Although he was an emperor, he still had to be mindful of the Empress Dowager's mood in everything he did, since he had no real power.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were cold: "You know it's noon now, and the Emperor is still sleeping at noon."

After saying that, he suddenly looked up into the red tent and said, "You lot, come out here!"

After a long while, several women emerged, trembling. Seeing them, the Empress Dowager nearly fainted from anger.

The women were dressed as palace maids, and they looked exactly alike, like twin sisters, and their appearances were quite striking.

The Empress Dowager's lips twitched, her voice chillingly cold: "I never imagined that with three thousand beauties in the harem, the Emperor would actually enjoy eating wild game, and several of them at that."

When the palace maid secretly reported it last night, she didn't believe it. Now that she's witnessed it with her own eyes, she has no choice but to believe it.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager!"

The three sisters were so frightened by the Empress Dowager's icy demeanor that their legs went weak.

"Are you sisters?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Where do you work?"

The clothes they wore were not those worn by ordinary palace maids.
