Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 543: Drag Him Out and Give Him a Hard Slap for Me
Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Drag Him Out and Give Him a Hard Slap for Me
Wang Yingluo felt she had always been fortunate.
Although her background was humble, she possessed an exceptional intellect and a clear consciousness, aware from the start that only education could change her fate and shed the inferiority brought by disparities.
Fate also favored her; she had left that poor town through college entrance exams, and later she had outstripped her peers to an unreachable extent.
Her only hardship was her love life; ordinary-looking men disdained her, and attractive men looked down on her. Even if she used hypnosis to make men fall head over heels in love with her, it would ultimately backfire due to her imperfect looks and induce paranoia.
But heaven was too kind to her. During a surgery to correct her constricted nose due to cosmetic procedures, a medical accident occurred. However, she did not feel any pain, and it was as if when she woke up, she had become Wang Dahua from Xiaoxi Village. freewebnøvel.coɱ
A beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, making her younger by over a decade.
The era she traveled to was the unprecedented Great Yan Dynasty, a stable and prosperous nation.
Future generations deeply studied this dynasty, and every year numerous films and television shows emerged. Even those not good at history knew that life would be mostly stable if one traveled to this era.
Due to Empress Murong, the status of women in the Great Yan gradually rose, the country amplified the dissemination of education, thereby reducing the number of ignorant people.
Merchants were no longer considered lowly; the nation encouraged commerce, and this era witnessed many renowned merchants from history, spanning across the south, north, and even overseas.
Wang Yingluo was fortunate enough to travel to the burgeoning early stages of the Great Yan. This period was filled with business opportunities, and she could become a powerful businesswoman if she wished.
However, she was not interested in that. Having traveled in time, she was the most unique woman in the Great Yan, the only one.
Why settle for gazing up to the antiquated Empress Murong from history, when she had arrived in this feudal era?
Thus, she conceived an ingenious plan.
She wanted to become the Empress, the mother of the nation, commanding immense authority, a position that was many times better than being a mere businesswoman.
And she succeeded.
Shortly after Jun Yuyan ascended the throne, he would fall off a cliff, a famous historical event that also highlighted the deep love between the Emperor and the Empress and demonstrated Empress Murong’s formidable political acumen.
She had prepared in advance for a long time to ensure nothing went wrong. When Jun Yuyan crashed into the branches and fell, she immediately had her brother take him away along a preplanned route, while she cleaned the blood and masked the scents and traces behind.
Despite searching for a long time, the officials did not find them. She also successfully hypnotized Jun Yuyan, and after understanding how Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu had fallen in love, she modified his memories through hypnosis.
Though she faced many obstacles after returning to the palace, Murong Jiu was not easy to deal with. Luckily, Jun Yuyan was completely devoted to her, relegating Murong Jiu to the Cold Palace and deposing her from the Empress position.
The Murong Family was thus destroyed.
The Empress Dowager, too, because of her troubles, was sent by Jun Yuyan to a temple for penance.
She became the most powerful woman in the Imperial Palace, surrounded by legions of servants, with everyone treating her with the utmost respect.
Before long, she gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl. She was immediately proclaimed the new Empress, her eldest son was made the Crown Prince by Jun Yuyan, and her younger son and daughter also received their titles. Jun Yuyan loved her too much to let her continue having children.
But later, she unexpectedly became pregnant again and had another son and daughter.
Seeing her give birth to five children, the Empress Dowager no longer pressured Jun Yuyan to expand the imperial harem for more offspring, and even humbly brought her gifts. Wang Yingluo could not have felt more vindicated.
"Miss, Miss, wake up?"
Wang Yingluo was playing with the precious jewelry that the Empress Dowager had sent as a gesture of goodwill when suddenly she heard Fu Rong calling out.
She turned her head toward Fu Rong, her expression cold, "How dare you, Fu Rong, I am already the Empress, yet you still address me as ’Miss’? Although you have been with me the longest, you know I despise those who do not understand the rules!"
Fu Rong showed a shocked expression, "Miss, you have not yet been granted a title. You mustn’t refer to yourself as ’the palace,’ be careful lest the Empress Dowager’s people hear you and decide to discipline you!"
Wang Yingluo furrowed her brows.
She sneered, "For her own status, the Empress Dowager has had the audacity to ingratiate herself with me personally. Look, this is the jewelry she painstakingly sent to me."
She raised her hand, then suddenly stopped short.
Where was the magnificent jewelry?
She had been playing with it in her hand just moments ago.
"I have the audacity to ingratiate myself with you?"
The Empress Dowager’s icy voice suddenly came from the doorway, startling Fu Rong. This wasn’t an act; she hadn’t expected the Empress Dowager to appear at Wang Yingluo’s at such a moment. It was quite the coincidence that Wang Yingluo had just dreamt of the Empress Dowager, then mocked her, only for the Empress Dowager to overhear it personally.
The Empress Dowager had merely come to see Wang Yingluo, who had not left her chambers for several days. Both the Emperor and Empress had often visited, staying for quite a long time which piqued the Empress Dowager’s curiosity. She didn’t understand what was going on between them.
Unexpectedly, upon entering, she heard Wang Yingluo’s audacious words.
Wang Yingluo also looked up at the Empress Dowager, puzzled. The Empress Dowager had aged more than a decade after being sent to the temple. How could she look so well, so well preserved?
The jewelry was gone, the Empress Dowager had returned to the palace, and when she looked around, this wasn’t her residence in Kunning Palace. How could today’s empress live in such a simple palace?
"What have you done! How could I be here! Empress Dowager, it must be you, you must hold a grudge against me, and are targeting me intentionally! Where is the Emperor, I demand to see the Emperor!"
The Empress Dowager was stunned, "What ’the palace’ are you talking about, Wang Yingluo, have you lost your mind, presuming to call yourself ’the palace’ before me? An impure woman like you, I haven’t even consented for you to be the Emperor’s woman, yet you dare to rebuke me!"
"What impurity, I don’t understand what you are talking about!" Wang Yingluo’s gaze flickered, but she had already borne five children for the Emperor, a meritorious figure of Great Yan. Even if the Empress Dowager knew something, her denial made it as if it hadn’t happened!
Jun Yuyan loved her too much and would surely stand by her side.
Moreover, those people from Xiaoxi Village, including her brother and father, had all died. They had drowned themselves in the river under her hypnotic suggestion, hence there were no witnesses to prove otherwise!
No matter what the Empress Dowager said, it was all slander!
"Empress Dowager, I respect you as an elder, but if you try to tarnish my reputation, I will not rest!"
The Empress Dowager’s head seemed to buzz, her blood pressure soaring, she nearly fainted from anger, supported by palace maids on either side. She shouted,
"Someone, Wang Yingluo has gone mad, drag her out and slap her hard for me!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
Fu Rong called out symbolically a few times as the eunuch by the Empress Dowager’s side roughly dragged Wang Yingluo out.
