I woke up as the Villainous Empress

86 Moving out.

Xing Bao was left speechless when Yu Ling introduced herself to her formally. It wasn’t a self-introduction.

She said all the things to humiliate her and was putting a line between them, demarcating her boundaries. She was warning Xing Bao to stay within her limits and don’t pretend to be too friendly with her.

She had goosebumps when she mentioned that she serves His Majesty, whereas Xing Bao serves Yang Luoyang who works at the Royal Court, under His Majesty. Who would have thought that she would pull up His Majesty’s card in this conversation?

When Yu Ling entered the house, she was thinking that it wouldn’t be a hassle to supervise her and she will leave after assisting Yang Ning for a few days.

However, seeing the way she was trying to show off her authority and her status as the Head of the Court ladies at the palace, she was not sure how the next few days were going to be.

Xing Bao pursed her lips nervously as she was too intimidated to counter back her words. It was the first time someone has said something to her and she couldn’t fight back against them.

This had never happened before.

“Do you understand what I mean?” Yu Ming asked with a smile. She wasn’t planning to be this direct with her. However, after seeing the way Xing Bao was treating her casually and was acting as if she would not feel her hostility towards her, she needed to show her who is the superior one among them.

“Ye...Yes. I understood what you meant, Lady Yu Ling.” Xing Bao’s voice trembled when she answered her question.

.....

Yu Ling’s pose was too strong and intimidating for her to stand confidently in front of her. This woman is crazy. Crazy!

The next morning-

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

” Ouch!” Yang Ning cried out in pain and woke up with a startle from her sleep when she accidentally hit her foot against the hard mattress when she turned around in her sleep.

“Why is it still hurting so bad?” She grumbled in pain when she remembered the adventurous events of yesterday. She almost believed that it was a dream where she witnessed a wild bear running towards her.

However, her injured foot and sore body made her realize that it wasn’t a dream. It was all real, too real to be true.

Who would have thought that there will be a day when she will be attacked by the wild bear? She has to agree that her life is full of wild adventures.

From being the ‘Knight of the Nation’, she turned into the ‘traitor’ in just one night. While drinking beer in her dorm, she ended up in the novel world.

Her life is quite chaotic and adventurous indeed.

” Hah! It’s yet another day in this world.” Yang Ning let out an exhausting sigh when she saw the ceiling made of patterned sandstone bricks above her head.

Many questions are going on in her head but there are no answers to those questions. “Argh....Why is everything so hard? I want to go back!” She whined and wriggled on the bed in frustration.

Just as she was going through a morning whining session, Yang Ning was startled when she heard Yu Ling’s voice, who just came from outside. ” Yang Ning, you woke up?”

“Ah...Yes.” Yang Ning answered awkwardly and struggled to sit on the bed on her own. Hearing her name from Yu Ling sounds more uncomfortable than she had expected.

However, it’s still better than listening to her addressing her as Lady Yang Ning all the time. Because listening to it makes her feel like a true lady and forces her to behave in a certain way.

After getting the memories of Yang Ning, she was having a hard time these days figuring out her ‘real identity’. Is she Fang Li or Yang Ning? Should she act like Yang Ning or like her real self?

Who is she exactly?

“No! Don’t stand up on your own. Otherwise, you will put a strain on your leg.” Yu Ling hurried over to support Yang Ning and helped her to sit on the bed.

She even put a pillow behind her back so that Yang Ning could rest comfortably against the headboard of the bed.

” How are you feeling now? Is your leg still hurting?” Yu Ling asked in concern as she checked her injury.

“It will get better with time.” Yang Ning didn’t say directly that it still hurts like hell but Yu Ling understood the meaning behind her words.

” Don’t worry. The Imperial Physician will be coming in a while to check on you. Your injury will be healed soon. Just a little bit of patience and all the troubles will be gone.” Yu Ling smiled at her.

“Hmm?” Yang Ning raised her brows as she grew curious about Yu Ling’s words. Why does it feel like she was not only talking about her injury?

“Ah. Where is Xiaowei? I haven’t seen her since yesterday?” Yang Ning asked to see that Xiaowei hasn’t come to see her yet. Otherwise, she will come in the early morning to wake her up and force her to get ready.

However, Lady Yu Ling didn’t force her to get up early and asked her to get ready. It could be because she is still sick and needs plenty of rest to recuperate from the injury and the shock from yesterday.

Yu Ling sat at the edge of Yang Ning’s bed and massaged her swollen legs gently and cautiously, making sure to not touch her wounds, and replied to her question, ” That girl was insisting on coming to see you early in the morning. However, I stopped her from coming over.”

” Since she is also injured, I thought it would be better for her to rest for two days first before engaging in any activities. If she works in this state, you will also feel worried and guilty. That’s why I asked her to stay in her quarter and rest until she feels better.”

Yang Ning was amazed by Yu Ling’s words and was touched by her actions. Now she can see why Zheng Liang and His Majesty trust Lady Yu Ling so much.

It was because she has earned this respect through years of hard work and loyalty toward the royal family.

“Lady Yu Ling....” Yang Ning looked at her with her moist eyes. How can someone be so considerate yet charismatic at the same time? It’s already hard to acquire at least one of these qualities but she has both.

Yu Ling chuckled to see Yang Ning getting emotional like this and said, ” There is nothing to be grateful about. It’s all part of my duty.”

” You’re soon going to become the Crown Princess. Of course, I have to serve you well.”

Yang Ning was amazed by Yu Ling’s words and was impressed by her once again. This woman is making her fall for her so hard that she wants to open a small fancafe for her.

Just as Yang Ning was busy admiring the charismatic Yu Ling, the door of the chamber was pushed open and a few workers entered the room. ” Greetings to Lady Yang Ning.”

Yang Ning was surprised when they suddenly greeted her and treated her with the utmost respect. Is something going on? She wondered.

“Ah, Yes. What brings you here?” Yang Ning asked in confusion.

Before the servants could answer her question, Yu Ling answered instead, ” I called them here.”

” You called them here? Why?” Yang Ning asked.

“To move your stuff. Lady Yang Ning, you’re moving out of this chamber.” Yu Ling said with a warm smile on her face.

Yang Ning: “.....”

Yang Ning was bewildered when she heard Yu Ling’s words. She is moving out of this chamber? Why all of a sudden? Where will she go if not for this chamber?

Her brain malfunctioned due to the sudden surprising news. “Moving out of this chamber? To where and why?”

Yu Ling smiled at her, however, she didn’t answer her question right away. She turned to the servants and said, ” You all go and remove the items from that chamber first. You can start moving the stuff from this chamber after an hour.”

“Yes, Lady Yu Ling.” The servants answered in unison and left the chamber after getting Yu Ling’s order.

After the servants left the chamber, only then Yu Ling turned her attention to Yang Ning again. ” You’re the eldest daughter of the Yang Family and soon going to become an essential member of the Royal family.”

” You deserve the best of everything yet you’re being mistreated like this and have been living in such a poorly organized room for so long. That’s why I talked to Minister Yang Luoyang about this issue and arranged another chamber for you which is bigger and better than this one.” Yu Ling said.

Yang Ning’s eyes widened in shock at her words. ” You talked to Ya...father already and he agreed to it? How?” Yang Ning pursed her lips as she almost called her father using his first name.

She is still having a hard time accepting the fact that she needs to address Yang Luoyang as her father who is nothing but a jerk.

Yu Ling smiled at her and said, ” Of course, he had to agree to it. It was something that should have happened long ago.”

” I was simply helping him to amend his mistakes.”
