Han Ruyi sneered.

"Grandma!"

"The old slave is here!"

"Give her a taste of her own medicine!"

"Yes!"

The old nanny waved her hand, and two stout women came over to grab Zi Yan on either side. The old nanny rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward personally, slapping Zi Yan's fair, delicate face with two resounding slaps.

She punched Ziyan's face directly, causing it to swell up. Her back teeth were also loose.

Zi Yan spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up at Han Ruyi who was sitting there. A sneer curled up on Zi Yan's lips.

“Hahaha, the dignified daughter of the Tai Shifu, the rightful Empress, can't even compare to me, a mere courtesan, when it comes to captivating men's hearts,”

"Hahaha, go ahead and hit me, curse me. You're just jealous that I have the King's favor while you've become a bitter woman..."

"Shut up!"

Grandma shouted loudly, raising her hand to slap Zi Yan's face again and again.

Zi Yan's eyes twinkled with gold stars, and blood flowed from her nose.

She gasped for breath, her venomous gaze shooting from beneath her tousled bangs like arrows aimed at Han Ruyi seated in the main chair.

“Today, you have fallen into the hands of Han Ruyi. It seems I, Zi Yan, am unlucky. If you have the guts, kill me. Kill one Zi Yan, and countless more will appear. You self-righteous noble ladies will never win a man’s affection…”

“Shut your mouth, you wretched slave!” The nanny exclaimed urgently, “Our mistress’s name is not something you can call! You’re looking for death!”

Grandma raised her hand to strike again, but a voice from the main seat stopped her.

Grandmother turned her head and saw that Han Ruyi had already gotten up, holding the fat cat in her arms.

Han Ruyi came to Zi Yan's side. She circled around Zi Yan slowly, then finally stood before her.

“You’re right, I’ll never receive the king's favor. But as long as I remain his legal wife, you vixens will forever be beneath me, mere tools for a man's lust. You don't even have the qualifications to bear him children!” Han Ruyi declared.

Zi Yan glared angrily at Han Ruyi, "If you have the guts, just kill me. It's just death, I'm not afraid!"

Han Ruyi, however, shook her head with a bright smile. "Rest assured, I, Han Ruyi, do not like to kill."

"You are the king's favorite, I will keep you alive forever."

“However...”

Han Ruyi raised her hand and gently stroked the shiny back of the fat cat in her arms, muttering to herself, "Do you know why my little Fatty Ball is so adorable Because he loves to eat fish eyeballs, dog ears, parrot tongues, and chicken claws."

Han Ruyi slowly raised her head, her sinister eyes sweeping over Zi Yan, a ghostly and eerie smile playing on her lips.

"This little guy is hungry again, Ziyan, just be generous and lend me a few things for my Fat Ball to eat, how about that"

Purple Yan shivered, a chill running from her soles straight to the back of her spine.

She looked at the fat cat in Han Ruyi's arms, licking its tongue. She was so frightened that her whole body went limp.

“Your Majesty, this servant was wrong. Please forgive me!” Zi Yan cried out in fear, begging for mercy.

"If appeasement were useful, why resort to corporal punishment" asked Han Ruyi.

“Grandma, what are you dawdling for Get to work!” she glared at the grandma beside her and commanded.

Grandmother came to her senses and said, "Yes!" Then she immediately began preparing. Silver spoon, long needle, willow leaf-sized tongue cutter, and a blunt axe for chopping off fingers...

Han Ruyi paced gracefully and sat back down on the bench. The firelight cast the shadows of those being executed behind her onto the wall in front of her stone face.

In Zi Yan's screams, blood beads splashed.

Han Ruyi's white cat in her arms was tense all over, letting out a terrified 'Meow...'

“Qing'er, this is the latest intel we have. There are two letters, one from the capital city and another from He Lan Zhou.”

That day, Song handed Yang Ruqing two sealed letters.

Yang Ruqing is busy rolling out dumpling wrappers. It's almost the winter solstice, and in this area, it's customary to eat dumplings on that day.

Upon seeing two sealed letters, Yang Ruqing hastily wiped her hands on her apron and opened them.

Of course, she eagerly opened the letter from He Lanzhou first, because it was written in Luo Fengtang's handwriting.

After opening it, Yang Ruqing saw the words: “The matter is done, wait for my return.”

In a single sentence, four words, allowed her heart that had been hanging for half a year to finally settle.

She put the letter back and then opened another one from Beijing.

This letter is quite long, filling up two pages. It practically covers every major event that has happened in the capital these past few months.

From the hasty ascension of the eldest prince to rallying forces to suppress dissenting voices.

The second prince was imprisoned in the imperial prison, and several other princes were either killed or maimed.

Then Princess Nine and Prince Nine were also tied onto the eldest prince's boat.

After Han Ruyi became empress, the second prince's consort, Luo Bingqing, who was six months pregnant, was sent to the Zongrenfu for some reason.

Then, Prince Qi Xingyun led his army back to the capital and broke through the city walls in just one night, forcing the eldest prince to abdicate.

Now the eldest prince, empress, and their associates have been imprisoned awaiting orders. The sixth prince personally went to the prison to release the second prince.

And meanwhile, Qi Huang of Helan Prefecture, who had previously died from eating poisonous locusts, suddenly and miraculously revived.

The prince who soon will return to the palace and severely punish the rebellious princes.

After putting down the letter, Yang Ruqing raised her head, her expression changing rapidly.

It's like just finishing a full banquet, now I need some time to digest. No way, this information volume is too large, people whose brains aren't up to it can't even understand it.

Yet Yang Ruqing understood it all.

"Qing'er, what's wrong" That day Song saw Yang Ruqing remained silent and couldn't help but ask.

Yang Ruoqing's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, and she raised the letter in her hand: "An intricate game carefully orchestrated by the old fox, involving his little fox cubs. This game is rather cruel, a survival of the fittest."

"That little fox cub playing until the very end is the winner, everyone else is eliminated."

That day, Song was a nobleman in Daliao, specializing in the safety of the royal family.

He grasped this point immediately and a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face.

Yang Ruqing continued, "The eldest brother was the first to be eliminated. The second brother broke one leg and is almost disabled. The other younger brothers have no competitiveness. In this game, the last winner was the sixth brother."

That day, Song Mi narrowed his eyes and said, "As they say, age is just a number! I don't care about all that. All I want to know is if Feng Tang is doing well."

Yang Ruqing smiled and nodded: "This trip he endured a lot to help the old fox put on a show. Well, this show is almost over, he should be back soon." and don't beg. Go back and bring Big Treasure and Mianmian to live with me!"“My big courtyard, every inch of land and tile are supported by our three families. You live in my house, they can't contro...
