The Most Venomous Abandoned Empress

  "Little Maruko, go and invite General Ye to come in!" Ye Ziqing instructed the small eunuch beside him after Shang Tian had walked far away.

  "Yes! Your Majesty!" Little Maruko bowed and retreated to the side of the door, saying to Ye Tianming who was waiting outside: "Her Majesty requests your presence, General, please enter!"

  Ye Tianming is now the General-in-Chief of the Imperial City Garrison, and also the Emperor's uncle, with a very noble status. Although the Ye family has few people today, they have received imperial favor!

  Ye Tianming stepped inside in big strides, although he was the elder brother, etiquette could not be abandoned: "Your subject Ye Tianming pays his respects to Her Majesty the Empress!"

  "Brother, no need for formalities, please get up quickly!" Ye Tianming was the only relative of Ye Ziqing, usually living in seclusion in the rear palace, rarely seeing each other, and naturally overjoyed. He ordered his personal palace maid: "Xiao Fan, tell them all to withdraw and wait outside the door. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come in and disturb us!"

  "Yes! Princess!" Little Fan made a gesture to the palace maids on one side, and they all bowed their heads and retreated.

  When only Ye Tianming and his sister were left in the room, Ye Tianming asked inexplicably: "Sister, I heard that it was you who proposed to the emperor to marry the Western Xia Holy Girl. Why is this?" He also came into the palace specially for this matter to ask clearly.

  "Brother, I knew you came to find me for this matter. Actually, it's not what I meant, but Uncle's intention!"

  "Uncle?" Ye Tianming's thick eyebrows furrowed into a line: "Uncle, haven't you heard that the Western Xia Holy Maiden is as beautiful as an immortal? Doing this will only invite wolves into our home!"

  Ye Zi Qing said, "Brother, you're being too cautious. After all these years, haven't you seen that the Emperor has always been extremely fond of me? Even if the Western Xia princess is as beautiful as a goddess, what's it to me?"

  "Sister, how can you be so naive? All men have the common fault of being infatuated with new things and getting tired of old ones. The Emperor is being very good to you now, but who knows what will happen in the future when he sees the Holy Maiden?" Ye Tianming seemed to think more than Ye Zixi.

  "Brother, you also know how much I want a child. Even if the Emperor is currently favoring me, when we grow old and our beauty fades, I won't have any offspring. We can guard against everything, but what if one day the Emperor wants a child? How can we prevent that? So, as long as I get pregnant, the Western Xia Holy Maiden will no longer be a threat!" Ye Ziqing's face was full of confidence, and her eyes sparkled with cunning, completely different from her weak and gentle demeanor earlier!

  As long as she becomes pregnant with a child, her status will be forever unassailable. When the time comes, her child will inherit the throne and her dignity will last forever!

  As for that Western Xia Holy Maiden, she's just a useless chess piece, just like Wu Chen'er back then. You can abandon her with any excuse!

  "Sister, things have already reached this point, and I think it's too late to stop them. However, I came today to tell you that I received news that someone doesn't want the Holy Girl to arrive safely in Shangguo!" Ye Tianming told her everything he knew.

  Ye Zi's expression changed after hearing this, her eyebrows furrowed: "Who is so bold as to dare oppose the Shang Kingdom! Brother! You must immediately dispatch someone to secretly protect the Holy Maiden and ensure she arrives safely here. Also, investigate thoroughly who exactly wants to ruin my good fortune!"

  He paused for a moment, then said: "That's right, Uncle also said that the Holy Maiden is the daughter of the Western Xia divine spirit. As long as she comes, she can help me conceive a child. I absolutely will not allow anyone to stop her from coming to Shangguo!"

  Whoever dares to oppose her is asking for death! A weak and gentle appearance, but with a heart that is extremely ruthless and poisonous!
