Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 501: She Wants to Take Everything from Empress Murong

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: She Wants to Take Everything from Empress Murong

Wang Yingluo brought up Consort Dowager Qi again.

"I am not afraid of wild beasts, but the Empress allows the great wolf to roam freely within the palace. What if it frightens Empress Dowager Qi? What then?"

At this point, Chun Tao, who was beside Murong Jiu, said, "Miss Wang seems to have forgotten that the Consort Dowager is no longer a Consort Dowager but has become the Empress Dowager. It appears Miss Wang is quite forgetful."

The sarcasm was very clear.

Only then did Wang Yingluo realize that the decree to confer the title of Empress Dowager had already been issued. Consort Dowager Qi, no, Empress Dowager Qi was supposed to move to Cining Palace today.

And she would have to move with her because she currently held no title, which did not allow her to live in a palace of her own.

There was no movement from the main hall—perhaps Empress Dowager Qi had already moved to Cining Palace ahead of time, so impatient she couldn’t wait!

She felt annoyed, blaming Empress Dowager Qi for not having someone inform her. She had thought that Consort Dowager Qi was still here, plotting to have Murong Jiu bitten to death falsely for disrespecting the Empress Dowager with the scare of the wolf.

This palace maid was detestable too, not taking her seriously at all!

The Empress had turned and left as well, her beautiful eyes only holding contempt and coldness towards her, along with a trace of disdain. It was as if a fire was fiercely burning within her heart.

Eunuch Li, seeing her expression and the Empress’s departure, hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Miss, were you frightened? Should this servant call for His Majesty to come over?"

Wang Yingluo’s eyes roved.

"There’s no need. His Majesty has a myriad of state affairs to attend to; let’s not bother him over such a trivial matter."

If the Emperor cared about her, there would be no need for Eunuch Li to call for him; he would come himself.

Looking at the room full of people, she said:

"You all need not fear. I have a natural affinity with animals; no creature will harm me."

"My goodness, Miss actually has this ability!"

"It shows that Miss is a natural-born Phoenix, the sovereign of all beasts, hence why all beasts bow to her!"

Wang Yingluo liked hearing that.

Fu Rong, the palace maid, truly was smart and clever, able to say things that pleased her immediately.

Once these words were spoken, the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs nodded and agreed enthusiastically, looking at her with admiration.

Wang Yingluo felt somewhat elated.

While she was speaking, a eunuch from outside announced: "The Emperor has arrived!"

He came so quickly!

Wang Yingluo felt joy and pride swelling within her.

She knew that Jun Yuyan would come, but she hadn’t expected him to arrive even faster than she imagined.

She quickly went to greet him.

"Brother Yan, why have you come?"

Jun Yuyan examined her from head to toe, asking with concern, "Did that beast harm you?"

"No, no, Ah Ying is not afraid. It just frightened Eunuch Li and the others. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was not present in the hall; otherwise, she too would have been scared. Ah Ying does not know how she offended Her Majesty the Empress. Ah Ying is not afraid, but the Empress Dowager is advanced in age. If she were to be frightened and fall, I wouldn’t know what to do."

"I will immediately order someone to chase that beast out of the palace. If it had harmed even a single hair on you today, I would have personally dealt with it!"

Jun Yuyan said angrily.

Wang Yingluo’s heart was sweet as honey, but she waved her hand and said, "Brother Yan, that snow wolf is not inherently evil, it was driven by someone to scare people, and when I saw it, I felt so connected with it. It would be such a pity to chase such a human-like wolf out of the palace."

The implication was that all of this was instigated by the Empress, and the wolf was innocent.

"Ah Ying, do you like that wolf?"

She was about to nod when she heard Jun Yuyan assert firmly,

"That wolf has been raised by the Empress from a cub, I don’t feel at ease. Ah Ying, for your safety, I won’t allow such a dangerous beast around you. If you really like one, I can order someone to find a cub for you to raise."

"But..."

How could any other wolf compare to the Empress’s Kai Xuan?

That was the wolf General renowned throughout history!

It was a pity that Kai Xuan’s offspring had already grown up; otherwise, with such lineage, the young wolf wouldn’t be far off.

She still preferred Kai Xuan more.

However, Jun Yuyan interrupted her, "Ah Ying, I can satisfy many of your desires, but I cannot agree to anything that threatens your safety."

"All right, then."

It was no use for her to keep insisting.

Jun Yuyan cared so much for her, and she was overjoyed, naturally wanting to accommodate this man.

Still, she wouldn’t give up her idea easily; she planned to find a way to mesmerize Kai Xuan, to make Jun Yuyan see that the wolf loyally followed only her.

Then, Jun Yuyan would no longer object.

She suddenly looked forward to the moment when Murong Jiu, abandoned by everyone, saw her most loyal wolf no longer belonged to her, usurped by herself, and crumbled into despair.

From the first time Wang Yingluo had laid eyes on Empress Murong after entering the palace, she had made up her mind to take everything that belonged to Empress Murong.

In the future history books, only she, Wang Yingluo, the Empress full of legendary allure, would be mentioned, while Empress Murong would be left with nothing but dark words.

"Brother Yan, don’t be angry anymore. Maybe, maybe Her Majesty the Empress didn’t do it on purpose."

She said with veiled words.

As long as she was in the man’s heart, no matter how insincere her words were, he wouldn’t find her troublesome.

Anger still lingered on Jun Yuyan’s face as he furrowed his brows, "You’re still speaking for her. She did it on purpose to show her power over you. I haven’t given you a proper status yet, and she’s already so petty. If I really granted you that position, wouldn’t she turn the entire harem upside down?"

Wang Yingluo’s heart skipped a beat.

What did he mean? Was Jun Yuyan planning to grant her a position and not depose the Empress?

She grew anxious and quickly had Eunuch Li and the others leave, then said to Jun Yuyan,

"Brother Yan, Ah Ying doesn’t want to be a concubine. I only wish to be with you, together for a lifetime, just the two of us. If you want me to serve you like the other women, then... then I’d rather leave the palace and never return."

"I..." A struggle appeared in Jun Yuyan’s eyes.

Wang Yingluo had a bad feeling; perhaps Jun Yuyan had changed his mind and no longer wished to depose Empress Murong?

"The Empress has not committed a major fault, and her father has also made significant contributions to Great Yan. I am the Son of Heaven. Only after returning to the palace and sitting on the dragon throne did I realize that not everything can go my way."

"Ah Ying..." ƒreewebɳovel.com

His profound gaze carried a touch of sorrow as he looked at her, "My Crown Prince and Princess share my blood and resemble me; they are innocent too. Ultimately, the fault lies with me."

Wang Yingluo knew from history that Jun Yuyan was an emperor with broad vision. Under his reign, the people of Great Yan lived in peace and prosperity. Thus, he could not be selfish.

Actually, Jun Yuyan having such a dilemma did not seem surprising.

He seemed unfeeling, yet he had his own balance in his heart.

It must be the sight of the Crown Prince and Princess that caused the wavering in his heart.

Wang Yingluo, fearing he might discard her, quickly said, "No, Brother Yan, it’s not your fault. Ah Ying understands you!"
