I woke up as the Villainous Empress

164 Crown Princess vs The Empress?

Yang Ning raised her brows at the Empress when she asked her a question in front of everyone. She wasn’t even the one who ordered the guards to stop her from entering His Majesty’s chamber, yet she was asking her a question as if she was the one who blocked her from going inside.

Rather than panicking at her complicated question, Yang Ning nodded at her words and said, ” Yes, You are right. You have all the right to meet His Majesty and no one can stop you. Not even His Highness.”

“You are His Majesty’s First Consort and stopping you from meeting His Majesty is unfair and disrespectful.” She added.

“Your Highness,” The guard looked at Yang Ning in disbelief. He thought that she came to solve the problems for him. Why does it look like she is adding to his problems instead of reducing them?

While the guards were dumbfounded by Yang Ning’s unexpected response, Yang Lingxin was surprised when she heard Yang Ning’s words. She wasn’t expecting to agree to her words. Since when did she start to speak the same language as her? She wondered.

Although Yang Ning is Yang Luoyang’s daughter and came to the palace to fulfill her wishes to bring doom to Zheng Liang, she has been acting differently after she married him.

After marrying Zheng Liang, she has been acting strangely and has been doing whatever she wants to do instead of listening to her orders. She has been avoiding her and Yang Luoyang like a plague and doesn’t even listen to her father’s words either.

When she appeared out of nowhere, she wasn’t expecting her to agree to her words. Instead, she thought that she came here to stop her from going inside and will create unnecessary drama for her.

However, what is she doing all of a sudden? Did she realize that joining hands with her is more beneficial than staying loyal to Zhneg Liang? She thought.

.....

“I am glad to have you as my daughter-in-law. In this palace, only you can understand my feelings and emotions. Even if everyone goes against me in this palace, you will understand me and will help me.” Yang Lingxin said as she was pleased by Yang Ning’s positive attitude.

She doesn’t like Yang Ning that much after the way she ignored her before. However, seeing the way she has a harmonious relationship with Zheng Liang, it is better to keep her by her side and keep her in control and use her according to her plan.

If she is extending her hand towards her, she should take it and shake hands with her rather than ignore this friendship. Yang Ning is going to be the person who will bring doom to Zheng Liang in the future after all.

“You came at the right moment. I was going to meet His Majesty, you should come along with me as well. He will be pleased to see that you came to visit him.” Yang Lingxin said and urged her to come inside with her as well.

If Yang Ning goes inside the chamber with her, then she will not be the only one breaking the royal order and will not be punished alone for doing so. Moreover, Zheng Liang wouldn’t punish his wife for breaking his command, would he?

Yang Ning smiled meaningfully to see the way Yang Lingxin changed her tone of speaking towards her and said, ” I was also worried about His Majesty and wanted to meet him, that is why I came here. However, if His Highness has stopped everyone from going inside and meeting His Majesty, I believe there must be a reason for his actions. That is why I will not bother the guards and will go back to the Dragon Pavilion.”

Yang Lingxin frowned upon hearing her words and felt as if Yang Ning was plotting something against her. Is she saying that she wants her to go ahead and break Zheng Liang’s given orders, and meanwhile, she will go back to her chamber to relax?

Is she trying to be a bigger person by not bothering the guards and returning to her chamber? Does she want her to look like an awful person in front of everyone?

“Yang Ning, since you have come all the way, do you not want to see His Majesty? I am sure Zheng Liang would not mind if you would go and greet His Majesty.” Yang Lingxin said as she tried to persuade Yang Ning to join her to go inside.

Yang Ning smiled at her and politely rejected her suggestion, ” I am sure he will like it. However,

His Majesty has given His Highness the power to take decisions in his absence and lead the royal court and palace as he likes.”

” I am sure His Highness must have stopped everyone from meeting His Majesty because he was worried about his health and wanted him to take a rest rather than get disturbed by other’s presence in the chamber.”

“So I will respect His Highness’s command and will not bother His Majesty. It would be the best choice for him at the moment.” She said, supporting Zheng Liang’s orders.

“However, if Your Majesty wants to go inside, you can go ahead. I am sure no one will be able to stop you since you’re the Empress of the Zheng Empire and above me in terms of hierarchy in the palace.” Yang Ning said coolly as if she had no intention to stop Yang Lingxin to stop her from going inside.

Yang Lingxin pursed her lips and felt that something was not right. Why is she encouraging her to go inside and breach Zheng Liang’s orders?

Yang Lingxin was silent for a moment and thought about the consequences of her going inside, and ignoring Zheng Liang’s orders. Since Yang Ning chose to stay outside to respect his decisions, she will solely be responsible for breaking this royal command.

She is the Empress of the Zheng Empire but Zheng Liang has been appointed as the temporary sovereign of the Empire. It means that for now, his position is above hers and she can get into trouble if she breaks the order given by him.

“It’s alright. Since Zheng Liang passed this order, I am sure there must be a reason behind his actions. If he is doing all this so that His Majesty could rest comfortably, I have no objection to it.” Yang Lingxin pursed her lips and said with a heavy heart.

If she cannot see His Majesty, then how will she know what is the condition of His Majesty? She wondered.

“However, I have a condition. I brought this sandal-scented incense that I bought with me to light in His Majesty’s chamber. I can return to my chamber if the guards take this incense and light in His Majesty’s chamber. If they could do this, I will not bother him ever again and will stay at the Queen’s residence instead.” Yang Lingxin said, putting a condition in front of Yang Ning.

Yang Ning looked at the incense that Yang Linxin was passing her and pursed her lips in a thin line. Because of her warning, Zheng Liang asked the guards to remove all the incense and hot water pots from the room.

So she was the one who brought this incense stick!

“Yeah, sure.” Yang Ning said and turned to the guard and was watching the drama silently, “Take this inside and light it near His Majesty’s chamber.”

“However, Your Majesty...His Highness has asked….” The guard was confused because Zheng Liang had asked to throw all the incense away. How can he bring another incense to light when he was already commanded to throw all the necessary incense sticks?

“Just do what I am saying. Go and light these fragrant incense sticks. Also, refill the hot water pot which was near His Majesty’s bed, and add a few drops of the natural oil to make the chamber fragrant.” Yang Ning said and handed him the incense sticks.

The guard was hesitant about Yang Ning’s orders but noticing the glare in her eyes, he had no choice but to take it and bring it inside with him.

Seeing the guard taking the incense with him, a smirk appeared on Yang Lingxin’s face. She turned to Yang Ning and said, “I will take my leave then. You should come to the Queen’s residence someday to have tea with me.”

“Since Zheng Liang is busy with work, I am sure you must be bored staying in your chamber the whole day. You should come over to the Queen’s residence to have some tea and snacks with me.” Yang Lingxin said with a fake smile and left the Main Palace, feeling irritated that Yang Ning came at the wrong time and stopped her from entering the chamber.

This girl is truly a wicked one!
