Suddenly, several guards walked in from outside. As soon as they entered, they bowed to the Little One and said, "Greetings to the Empress, may you live long and prosper."
"Well, take them away!" Luo Bingbing said, pointing at those who had already stood up.
As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Mei immediately responded, "On what grounds?"
"On the grounds that this Empress's title is sufficient."
"You can't hit me; I am a consort of the Emperor. If you dare to strike me, my father and brother will not let you off. They are both ministers of military affairs, and the Emperor will not spare you either."
"Is that so? Then I shall wait and see."
Some who had no backing began to regret seeing Luo Bingbing dare to strike Consort Mei. However, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
So even if they were filled with remorse at this moment, it would be of no use.
Those who had been quietly sitting there felt very fortunate. At this moment, they were no longer troubled by their inability to enter Consort Mei's circle.
On the contrary, they were quite pleased that they had not allied themselves with Consort Mei.
Soon, the courtyard of Phoenix Palace was filled with wails and the sound of wood striking against flesh.
The women still remaining in the hall paid their respects to the Little One and sat there uneasily.
But when those miserable cries reached their ears, they became even more anxious and fearful.
Luo Bingbing had come looking for trouble and amusement, so seeing the expressions of those women gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
Outside, some delicate beauties fainted after enduring two or three strikes due to the pressure within; others gritted their teeth and held on until the end, secretly vowing to repay a hundredfold for the suffering they endured today.
It wasn't until twenty strikes were completed that Luo Bingbing finally spoke up and allowed everyone to leave.
Dongfang Hao initially received news about it but truly did not know what the Little One intended to do. Moreover, he was even more ruthless towards those "strangers" than Luo Bingbing.
Among those people, most were strangers to him, and the few he had seen were only through their portraits.
Therefore, he would not come to stop her. In his words, as long as the Little One was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.
In the evening, Luo Bingbing was having dinner when Dongfang Hao and Mo Xuan suddenly appeared.
Seeing them arrive, Luo Bingbing paid them no mind and continued eating her meal, showing no intention of getting up to invite them to dine.
Dongfang Hao was not one to be polite with her; he directly had someone bring a set of chopsticks and bowls and started eating with Luo Bingbing.
While having dinner, Dongfang Hao asked Luo Bingbing, "Doll, why did you hit those people today?"
"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for your beauties?"
"Really? You should know that even if all those people died, I wouldn't show any expression, let alone feel sorry."
"Tsk tsk, you really are heartless! Since you've said that, I'll just play around as I please from now on."
Hearing the Little One's words, Dongfang Hao and some others nearby couldn't help but think to themselves: "My goodness! She hit so many people just for fun!"
"Do as you wish; go ahead and do whatever you want!"
How ruthless! With such an emperor and Empress, those people's days were bound to be miserable.
In the days that followed, whenever Luo Bingbing felt bored, she would go find trouble for those people to pass the time.
As autumn turned to winter, in the blink of an eye, Luo Bingbing had been in the palace for over a year.
At this time, Luo Bingbing was already nine years old. Since she entered the palace, Dongfang Hao had remained there as well, and naturally, his two substitutes were no longer needed.
As a result, none of the women in the harem had seen either the real Dongfang Hao or his fake counterparts.
This also means that those women have been living in a state of loneliness for a year, and those who are unwilling to be alone have secretly climbed over the wall.
Sure enough, early this morning, it was revealed that someone had been caught in an affair, and the evidence was undeniable—a scene like this unfolded.
Because Dongfang Hao went to Huang Yang for inspection yesterday and has yet to return. When he left, he issued a decree stating that during his absence from the palace, all matters would be handled by the Empress.
Thus, unable to find Dongfang Hao, everyone came to Luo Bingbing's Phoenix Palace.
Inside the hall of the Phoenix Palace, it was already filled with people, all of whom were women. The eunuchs had long been ordered to wait outside.
The women were enchanting, some plump and graceful, others fresh and alluring, some scholarly and bold, while others were delicate and charming... Despite their differences, they were all elegantly dressed in jewels and finery, their eyes fixed intently on the little one lounging on the soft couch.
Luo Bingbing lay lazily on her side, propping her head up with one hand.
Although they had seen the little one's appearance before, they still found themselves captivated by her enchanting beauty.
However, aside from their admiration, there was also a deep-seated fear of the little one—a fear that penetrated to the bone.
During the more than a year spent with the little one, these women had come to realize that she was never just a lazy and docile kitten.
Though her harmless exterior often appeared so, even then, one could not trust her even a little.
Countless facts proved that in the next moment, she could easily tear you into countless pieces after just having laughed and chatted with you.
The little one, with her eyes slightly squinted, slowly opened them. There was a hint of sleepiness in her lazy demeanor, yet her sharpness was restrained. Her bright golden gaze sparkled like the rising sun at dawn. As her gaze swept across the room, some women could not bear it and quickly lowered their heads to avoid her eyes.
Perhaps this is what is called dominance.
"Are you the one who has put a green hat on the Emperor?" The tone was clearly declarative, yet there was an underlying sense of glee in it.
In the center of the hall stood a man and a woman bound together. Both were completely unclothed and disheveled, looking utterly disheveled.
The bound woman nodded frantically like a garlic pounder, but then desperately shook her head. Her tear-streaked face was quite charming.
Unfortunately, her mouth was stuffed with cloth, preventing her from speaking or arguing.
The one on the couch, Little One, clearly had no intention of giving her a chance to explain. She lightly parted her lips and scolded, "How could you be so foolish? How did you get caught like this? Was there no one keeping watch for you?"
With a hint of disdain and a lazy tone, Little One's words instantly dampened the atmosphere in the hall.
Both the Consort and the Talent were stunned, frozen in place...
In the secluded chamber, they had never heard such outrageous words before. However, Little One's personal maid and Nursemaid couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This was merely jest.
The previously serious atmosphere shifted dramatically, yet Little One showed no signs of stopping her shocking remarks.
She continued, "No one is perfect; it's natural to have desires. In this vast palace, with only one emperor, it's impossible for everything to be perfect. If you can't find a place to relieve your urges, then naturally, you can't blame yourselves for this affair."
Upon hearing Little One's words, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, unable to calm down for a long time.
"But you can cheat, that's one thing; how could you get caught in the act? You must know that this is the imperial palace where every word and action must be taken with caution. Don't you realize that this palace devours people without spitting out bones? Now everyone knows you've put a green hat on the emperor."
The bound woman turned pale upon hearing Little One's words.
Yet Little One remained carefree and nonchalant, as if she were not discussing someone else's fate at all; her eyes sparkled with amusement.
After scanning everyone in the hall, Luo Bingbing discreetly used her Ability to cut the ropes binding the woman and quickly drew her closer with another use of her Ability.
"Xiaoyu."
"Yes." As soon as she spoke, she helped the woman remove the cloth from her mouth.
Looking at the woman before her, Luo Bingbing said calmly, "Speak! I will give you a chance to explain."
The woman's gaze swept around the hall before finally landing on a woman in green standing in the corner. Luo Bingbing followed her gaze and recognized her as a Noble Person.
After a slight cold smile appeared on her lips, the woman fell silent.
"Choosing not to speak, are we? Then I shall conclude this matter," Luo Bingbing said, secretly using her Ability to delve into the minds of both the woman and the Noble Lady in Green, quickly uncovering the reason behind it all.
"Why do people fall in love? It leads them to pledge their lives to one another. However, from my perspective, it seems you have chosen the wrong person for such a pledge. Do you know? Just yesterday, a palace maid reported that this man was behind a rockery with another woman, indulging in sweet nothings and entangled in affection..."
Upon hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Then, they exchanged glances, each silently speculating whether they were looking at the woman in question.
The woman widened her red-rimmed eyes, filled with pain and clarity, which quickly turned into blinding madness.
She slowly stood up and walked towards the Noble Lady in Green, having lost all sense of shame from earlier.
As she approached, everyone hurriedly made way for her until she reached the corner where the Noble Lady in Green stood.
After staring quietly for a moment, she suddenly grabbed the Noble Lady's head and forcefully pulled it towards a nearby pillar.
The sound of "bang bang bang" echoed throughout the hall, each impact resonating deeply within everyone's hearts.
Feeling that the show was coming to an end, Luo Bingbing shouted loudly towards the door, "Come here! Take these three away for me. Wait for His Majesty to return; he will deal with them personally."
With no more entertainment to be had, everyone began to take their leave from the Little One.
After a while, all the women in the hall had departed, leaving only Luo Bingbing and her companions. Seeing that everyone had left, the Little One went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Hao's shadow guards stationed in the palace reported everything that had transpired. He found it both amusing and infuriating; only that Little One would dare to speak so boldly.
Although he was very angry at the Little One for disregarding royal dignity and saying those words, what infuriated him even more was that the Little One had seen that naked man.
So, as soon as he received the news, he hurried back at full speed.
Upon returning to the palace, he went straight to Phoenix Palace and picked up Luo Bingbing, who was still resting.
Luo Bingbing was startled awake and felt quite displeased. She shouted at him, "Dongfang Hao, what are you doing?"
Hearing her words only fueled Dongfang Hao's anger. He coldly said to the Little One, "What? You dare say I’m out of my mind?"
He was so furious that he even used "I" in the royal sense.
"You’re not out of your mind? Then why did you wake me up?"
"Who told you to look at that damned man's body?"
"I can look at whoever I want! What does it have to do with you? Besides, I've seen plenty of naked men; I'm not missing out on just one."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao's anger surged even higher.
"What? You've seen other men, and many of them? Tell me who they are; I will eradicate their entire lineage."
"Eradicate their lineage? You can check for yourself. But all the ones I've seen are dead; they’re probably just a pile of bones by now!"
Dongfang Hao was instantly dumbfounded and speechless after hearing this.
Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing ignored him and swiftly slid down to the ground. As soon as she landed, she quickly used her internal energy to stomp hard on Dongfang Hao's feet.
"Ah!" Dongfang Hao couldn't help but scream from the sudden attack.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Stupid man, you've disturbed my sweet dreams. Get out of here quickly; I want to sleep."
"How dare you tell me to 'get out'?"
"What's wrong with telling you to get out? Is it not allowed?" After a brief pause, Luo Bingbing continued, "What, do you want to fight? Come on! Who's afraid of whom?"
"You... Hmph!" With that, Dongfang Hao angrily left Phoenix Palace.
After suffering a loss at the hands of Luo Bingbing, Consort Mei had been looking for opportunities to take revenge on that Little One. Knowing that the Empress Dowager disliked Luo Bingbing, she went to the Empress Dowager every day to curry favor and spread rumors.
Sure enough, when news of Luo Bingbing dealing with those wall-climbing individuals reached her ears, she immediately went to the Empress Dowager to report it.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager naturally became angry at what Luo Bingbing had done and grew to dislike her even more.
Previously, she had tolerated Luo Bingbing because she was the lucky star of the Silver Moon Kingdom. However, now that she saw that Little One enter the palace and noticed that Dongfang Hao had not visited any other consorts, as well as some of her actions and words that seemed incompatible with the title of "Mother of the Nation," her patience wore thin.
Thus, after listening to Consort Mei's words, she decided to work with Consort Mei to eliminate that Little One and establish her favored Consort Mei as the new Empress.
They also devised a meticulous plan, waiting for the perfect opportunity to put it into action.
