The Empress Dowager Refuses Yao Xi stood frozen in place, unconsciously reaching out to gently tug at the Empress Dowager's sleeve, as if clutching at a lifeline. Wan Bi sensed something was wrong. She turned her head to look at her right arm, near the shoulder, where a pale, delicate hand was gripping her clothing tightly. Following that hand upward, she saw Yao Xi, cold sweat beading on her face from terror. That little castrated donkey was being difficult again… Wan Bi gently patted Yao…-

The Empress Dowager Refuses After the palace maid locked Yao Xi's ankles, she set out the dishes and said with a warm smile, "Eunuch Yao, please eat your dinner and rest early. If we set off early tomorrow, we will arrive by nightfall." Yao Xi glanced again at the keys hanging from the maid's waist, asking with a touch of disappointment, "Are the two jiejie not staying in this room?" If they did not sleep here, she would have no chance to steal the keys and escape. Yao Xi had spent the entire…

The Empress Dowager is So Wicked Yuanqian really found it hard to say. If she answered honestly, she wouldn't be telling Her Majesty what a eunuch's wound looked like, but what Tang Huaili's wound looked like… After all, she had never seen anyone else's. "To answer Your Majesty. The masters wielding the knife when eunuchs enter the palace are different, so their cutting methods vary. I've heard every one is different. As for whether it is terrifying, this slave-girl doesn't know either."…

The Empress Dowager Refuses “There isn’t enough time! This slave has to get the gift list to Gugu Yuanqian first thing tomorrow morning!” Yao Xi was like a small animal that had stumbled upon a ferocious predator on a barren grassland, darting her eyes about in a desperate, futile search for an escape route. The predator, she knew not when, had already arrived before her. “Whether there is enough time is for this bereaved one to decide, is it not? Arranging the gift list is a task this…

The Empress Dowager Refuses "Others can't run away from her fast enough, yet here you are, throwing yourself at her without a care for your own life." Princess Longyi rubbed her temples in exhaustion and said to Sun Yan, "You wanted to see the Empress Dowager, and now you have. Pack your things tomorrow and head back to your fiefdom!" The Empress Dowager had just commanded her to attend an audience tonight. Although she didn't know what it was about, it certainly wouldn't be anything good. Sun Yan…

The Empress Dowager Refuses When Zheng Dayun knelt to pay his respects, he shot Yao Xi a grateful smile. Yao Xi had become the Empress Dowager’s male favorite, yet Her Majesty hadn’t given him any trouble these past days. This meant that Yao Xi hadn’t told her about that awful thing he had impulsively done back at the Directorate of Ceremonial’s offices. Otherwise, given the Empress Dowager’s temperament, there was no way she would have let him off. Hadn’t Liao Bing from the Bureau of…

The Empress Dowager is So Wicked That her father had been able to send a daughter into the palace to serve as a princess's reading companion suggested Yao's father had been a highly regarded official at the Late Emperor's court. And Noble Lady Lan's bearing did indeed mark her as a daughter of the official class. That the Yao family was a Beijing official household made things easier — a single inquiry to an old eunuch who had spent decades in the yamen would settle the matter. What she feared most…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Wan Bi lowered her eyes to glance at Zheng Dayun and said languidly, "Rise! Go brew this bereaved one a fresh pot of tea. Make it Mingqian tea." "This slave obeys the decree!" Zheng Dayun, whose knees had long gone numb from kneeling, scrambled up from the floor with overwhelming gratitude. He set the ledger aside, rolled up his sleeves, and headed to the tea room next to the main hall. As soon as Zheng Dayun left, Wan Bi trotted over to pick up the ledger and flip…

The Empress Dowager Refuses "We're already here?" Hearing that they had already reached the Princess's Mansion of Princess Longyi, Yao Xi found it hard to believe. She had planned to make a grand scene in the market streets or even drag things straight to the local yamen to leave some sort of clue for the Empress Dowager. Yet she had simply fallen asleep and arrived just like that? She looked out at the gray sky outside the carriage, unable to believe she had slept for an entire day. "Has the sky gone…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Cao Yue thought he had misheard. “Eunuch, could you repeat that? What was the Empress Dowager’s decree?” He must have misheard. Her Majesty surely meant for him to kill Zheng Dayun, right? Cao Yue would rather believe the eunuch delivering the order had slurred his words. The eunuch from the Empress Dowager’s palace glanced around to ensure no one was nearby, then cleared his throat and lowered his voice. “A secret decree from the Empress Dowager. She…
