Virago from Peasant Family - C262
She wore a gorgeous purple palace robe, full of majesty as she stood on the jade steps of the Imperial Palace.
When she saw Cheng Yeyue, she was not sure if she was angry or sad.
Because the other party was too young, the aura radiating from his body frightened many people.
Moreover, it was a young girl that hadn’t grown up, and she didn’t smile at all.
Her eyes were filled with a cold sternness, causing Empress Dowager Xiao to have no choice but to retract her contempt and anger, and said calmly: “You have won this battle, but I want to know how you plan to punish us?”
Victory and defeat were commonplace in war, but this time, they lost miserably and miserably.
A million soldiers didn’t even have the chance to fight back.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao really wanted to know what Cheng Guanyue thought about it. Could it be that the Xiao Imperial Family would never exist in this world ever again?
Hearing that, Cheng Guan Yue immediately looked towards Empress Dowager Xiao whose face was in good repair. Compared to Empress Dowager Su, she seemed to be a little older.
However, her charm didn’t diminish at all, and she still had a bit of the air of a barbarian.
She had a straight nose and deep eyes, and was a standard beauty. Even though she had experienced the erosion of wind and frost, she still maintained her beautiful and moving temperament.
Seeing that, Cheng Guanyue also felt that it was pleasing to the eye, which easily guessed why Empress Dowager Xiao entered the palace at such a young age, yet was single-handedly spoiled by the previous emperor, and even had six palaces built on top of him.
Furthermore, when the late emperor died, Empress Dowager Xiao was only twenty-seven years old, and his beauty was at its thickest and most attractive.
I heard that there are still a few princes who want to usurp the throne and take Empress Dowager Xiao’s beauty flower.
Unfortunately, they were not the only ones who were thinking of Empress Dowager Xiao, even the aged Grand Preceptor Fu was deeply captivated by his charm.
Therefore, most of the movements Empress Dowager Xiao made in the dark were the result of the Grand Preceptor Fu’s tacit approval.
However, Empress Dowager Xiao had always guarded his own position and never let down the previous emperor. Instead, he had always tried his best to think of a way to protect the Xiao Imperial Family.
It was the only thing she could do.
That was the reason why she asked Cheng Guanyue this question.
Cheng Guanyue answered simply, “Not kill.”
Directly explaining to Empress Dowager Xiao that the people of the Xiao Imperial Family could live, as for how they lived, it was none of Cheng Guanyue’s business.
Because there would be too many troubles in the future, it was also a very depressing thing.
Zong Zhengqi was a good example.
Not only did he like to sow dissension, he even openly appeared in the capital. Moreover, some things were all because of him.
From this, it could be seen that with so many intelligent survivors, many things could truly happen.
When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this expected answer, his face did not have any other expression.
She only felt that all of this was like a dream. She suddenly remembered that she had entered the palace at the age of twelve, and had been spoiled and raised by the late emperor as his daughter.
Then she gave birth to children for the late emperor, who doted on her alone.
Even if those court officials disagreed, the late emperor still doted on her.
The late emperor had even taken care of all the things that the consorts had done to her.
That was the happiest time of her life.
However, the heavens did not allow it. With the passing of the late Emperor, she suddenly became a widow in just one night.
The young children cried out as a pack of wolves and tigers pressed down on her from the imperial court.
Helpless, she could only allow Grand Preceptor Fu to meddle with most of the powers in the imperial court, gathering all the officials who were causing trouble under his command.
She could only allow the elderly prince to ascend to the throne, while she herself could only hold court from behind the screen.
In fact, she would even place many people in the palace. She was afraid that someone would suddenly rush in and do something bad to her.
In terms of fate, the Empress Dowager Su and Empress Dowager Xiao were the same, but it was a pity that the previous Kingdom Liao Emperor was more emotional, he said that he only cared for Empress Dowager Xiao and only him.
On the other hand, the previous emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty was someone who was more rational than emotional. Even though he doted on the Empress Dowager Su, he had been on guard against the Su Family, guarding against all of the senior concubines in his imperial palace.
Moreover, he was not like the previous Kingdom Liao Emperor who only favored one person.
However, the birth of princes and princesses was far inferior to the birth of other generations of emperors.
This meant that in order to avoid a dispute, he had also secretly done a lot of things to the consorts.
So Empress Dowager Xiao was really very happy the first half of her life, she obtained the love that others yearned for even in their dreams.
On the other hand, Empress Dowager Su was half depressed and half discerned, which could be considered a blessing in her later years.
Unlike when he was young, he was hurt to the core by the late emperor’s actions.
Even his own children were not allowed to see each other often.
“If that’s the case, then I can be considered to be completely worthy of the Emperor’s divine being.” Empress Dowager Xiao raised his head to the sky, his eyes glistening with tears.
She really wanted to be with the person she loved the rest of her life, but unfortunately, this was all her wish.
Hopefully, in her next life, she would be able to meet the previous emperor and lead a blissful life.
Thinking about it this way, Empress Dowager Xiao became like a puppet, holding the treasure left behind by the late emperor and consuming it directly from the poison she prepared.
He fell on the jade steps that symbolized his power.
It just so happened that when Xiao Yu’er saw this scene, she immediately went crazy, rushed to Empress Dowager Xiao’s side and cried: “Royal Grandmother …. Royal Grandmother, do you not want Yu’er? ”
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Xiao Yu’er with blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth, and slowly caressed Xiao Yu’er’s face with his hands. You have to live well, and my grandmother has to go. Accompany… Accompany him, he should … “It’s very lonely …”
“No, royal grandmother, Yu’er begs you not to die …” “Don’t die.” She used all her strength to shake Empress Dowager Xiao’s body, but when Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking those words, he had already closed his eyes, and directly swallowed.
He lay there completely silent.
Seeing that, Cheng Guanyue walked around Xiao Yu’er, slowly walked up the stairs and arrived at the main hall of the palace.
At this moment, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace ran away in grief, either dying or dying.
After all, if Empress Dowager Xiao died, there was no way they could survive.
Even the useless Emperor had taken poison wine and died on the throne.
As for the descendants of the Xiao family, Cheng Guanyue really did what she said she would do. She didn’t let anyone attack them, but gathered them together and locked them up in a courtyard.
Next, Cheng Guanyue would be looking for the Grand Preceptor Fu.
However, when Grand Preceptor Fu heard the news of Empress Dowager Xiao’s death, he sat on the chair limply.
He had never dreamed that he would become a loser.
He thought that he would win, that he would get everything he deserved.
Why … Why did the situation change so quickly? As a person who had been scheming for most of his life, he felt his heart tighten and immediately fainted from the blood flow.
As soon as Cheng Guanyue entered the house, he saw a situation like this.
However, almost all of his descendants were trembling in fear as they kneeled in front of Cheng Guanyue and shouted for mercy.
Only Fu Ruyue stood there resentfully.
