The Empress Dowager is So Wicked “Since we’re all acquaintances, we won’t get physical. Gonggong, if you please!” The two palace maids, dispatched on the Empress Dowager’s orders to apprehend the little eunuch having an illicit affair with Noble Lady Lan, had chased him down only to discover the eunuch was actually Yao Xi.

The Empress Dowager is So Wicked Jiu'er glanced at the burning room. Before the flames could spread, she rushed over and pulled out the bolt locking the window shut, then unhooked the iron lock on the outside of the door that had prevented Beauty Yu from escaping. The lock was already searing hot; she had to wrap her hand in a handkerchief just to touch it. "You were careless," Jiu'er said to Yao Shuanglan. As she spoke, she tossed the lock into the pond before them. The hot iron hit the water with a…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying “Will you fucking get over here and give me a hand! Can’t you see this master’s leg is busted?” The sound of someone being berated came from outside the door.

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying Daybreak arrived. Yao Xi hadn't slept a wink, tormented by fear all night. It wasn't the fear of being discovered by Liao Bing. Rather, she had spent the entire night listening to the wooden bed creak every time he turned over. She was constantly worried that the fragile bed planks would suddenly collapse, and the dead-pig-heavy Liao Bing would fall through and crush her to death. Looking on the bright side, though, there was a benefit: she was so immersed in this…

The Empress Dowager is So Wicked Wan Bi remained silent the entire way back. She was making worst-case preparations. If this Noble Lady Lan was no pushover and one day directly opposed her, what were her odds of winning? Tang Huaili was Yuanqian's lover; logically, he should lean toward Ning'an Palace. But Tang Huaili seemed to have a past connection with Yao Hezheng and was sufficiently loyal to the Emperor, so he could be considered neutral! Meng Delai of the Eastern Depot and Yao Hezheng were…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying Thump! Something slammed into Yao Xi’s rear, and she stumbled forward, nearly falling flat on her face. “Aiya! You should watch where you’re going! The things in this chest belong to our Beauty Yu. If they’re broken, you couldn’t afford to repay it with your life,” the young palace maid squawked, seizing the initiative by blaming Yao Xi first. She pointed at the chest on the ground and wouldn’t stop jabbering. Yao Xi had been standing by the door…
