The Mo Country was an expansive country. Two hundred years ago, the empire was divided into seven parts, with the Mo Country occupying the most territory. Coupled with a pleasant climate and fertile land, the local population lived in abundancy of resources.
This may seem like utopia, but the current reality was the exact opposite. Ever since the emperor became seriously ill and the empress dowager had taken the head seat of the government, the tax revenues in the Mo Country had increased. This was, in order to build a beautiful, temporary imperial palace for her, forced labor had to become heavy, causing the citizens to complain.
Some people, dissatisfied with Her Majesty’s tyranny, wrote thousands of words to mock her–a woman who usurps authority. In order to eliminate the discontent in her regime, the empress dowager made a prison for these people, and added dozen, different kinds of torture to deal specifically with those who were against her.
In her power, she would occasionally make an example of others. Now, under fear, no one dared to say anything anymore.
Just some time ago, the empress dowager, who has been a dictator for five years, expressed her dissatisfaction with her current status as “Regent”.
The emperor’s only remaining son, the crown prince, was nowhere to be seen–his whereabouts continued to be unknown. All of the emperor’s other brothers has also been killed off by her. At this time, who wouldn’t understand what the empress dowager was trying to convey?
She wanted to be a female emperor!
There has never been such a precedent before. Therefore, the empress dowager wanted everyone to acknowledge her, but she still found it a bit difficult. Even if she spent a great amount of effort to do it–and just when she was about to succeed, a sudden news caught her by surprise!
The crown prince has returned!
The crown prince had returned–although the empress dowager had ordered the crown prince to be detained at the relay station due to the fact that his identity had yet to be confirmed, the old officials who had been waiting for him all came to visit him, regardless of her orders, at the first possible moment.
He was the legitimate emperor, the tattoo of a coiling dragon on Mo Linyuan’s back spoke volumes of the truth of the matter. No matter how much the empress dowager wanted to be the emperor, when Mo Linyuan returned, she would immediately lose her credibility for the throne. And once Mo Linyuan officially acknowledged his ancestors, she would have to return a portion of the rights back to him.
To the ambitious empress dowager, this was more painful than flesh being cut!
Inside the imperial palace of the Mo Country, the Phoenix Dynasty’s Yuan Palace, the empress dowager angrily smashed the cup in her hands. The court ladies kneeled on the ground, not a single one of them didn’t tremble in fear.
“Are you sure it is the crown prince? And not someone who is just passing off to be someone else?”
Her gloomy voice made the people outside shudder. “Absolutely! The high tutor and the prime minister have personally gone over to verify and confirmed that it is undoubtedly the crown prince himself!”
The empress dowager’s expression turned even more unsightly…
Her eyebrows were raised, making people feel that the corners of her eyes were extremely sharp like daggers, her stare cutting through their souls. After a long while, she finally let out a snort and sneered.
