Chapter 1314: The Emperor Is Pregnant 28
Xiao Hua was a bit incredulous.
"Host, is this the plan you came up with?"
Su Yan nodded.
"Yes."
Seeing the Host look so matter-of-fact.
Xiao Hua fell silent again.
The maid went on speaking for a while.
Then she spoke up,
"Empress, if there’s nothing else, your servant will take her leave."
The woman sitting on the Dragon Chair nodded.
"You may leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid paid her respects and left.
Just as she was passing by the red pillar where Su Yan was hiding.
Suddenly, the maid paused.
Her sharp gaze swept towards the redwood pillar.
A dagger was drawn from her sleeve and thrust straight towards Su Yan.
Su Yan’s position was exposed.
She no longer hid but stepped forward to meet her.
The maid possessed some Inner Strength.
Her movements were clean and swift, each strike lethal, much like a specially trained Shadow Guard.
Su Yan raised her hand.
She punched the maid squarely in the chest.
Bam!
Instantly, the maid flew back like a kite with a broken string and fell straight to the ground.
The Empress shrieked,
"Who goes there?!"
Su Yan picked up the maid’s dagger and threw it toward the Fake Empress on the Dragon Chair.
The dagger embedded itself directly into the desk.
The Fake Empress turned pale and fell silent in fright.
The guards outside heard the commotion,
"Empress, what happened?!"
They shouted as they attempted to rush in.
Su Yan turned around and said,
"Stop, do not come in."
At her words, the guards outside indeed stopped.
One of the guards hesitantly asked again,
"Empress, are you truly alright?"
"Everything’s fine."
Su Yan replied flatly.
Su Yan herself was the Empress, and the fake Empress must have tried to imitate her in every aspect.
So much so that their voices were almost indistinguishable.
The guards couldn’t tell the difference.
After speaking,
Su Yan glanced at the maid on the ground, who had fainted.
There was still a faint breath.
She walked toward the Dragon Chair.
Her gaze unwavering.
While walking, she addressed the person on the Dragon Chair,
"Take off your clothes; the Dragon Robe you’re wearing is mine."
The person on the Dragon Chair shivered in fear.
Opening her mouth to shout,
"Hel–"
After just one word, Su Yan had already leaped in front of her.
Restraining her throat.
Su Yan spoke slowly,
"Will you take it off yourself, or shall I do it for you?"
She said, watching as she attempted to resist.
Su Yan simply began to take off the clothes herself.
First, she tugged off the Dragon Crown, and then started undoing the Dragon Robe.
The clothing was indeed intricate.
She tugged at it for a long time.
Because she was using one hand, it was exceptionally slow.
By the time she untied the belt, the Fake Empress had been strangled by Su Yan until her face turned purplish-blue, and she fainted.
Xiao Hua asked in confusion,
"Host, why didn’t you kill her?"
Su Yan replied,
"She is a pawn; there’s someone behind her."
She needed to question further.
Originally, Su Yan had planned on killing the person upon arrival and then changing clothes.
But after overhearing the conversation between the two,
it was clear that the Fake Empress was being controlled by someone.
She continued pulling when she heard the guards outside announcing,
"Empress, the Regent King has arrived."
Su Yan paused her hand, looking at the scene in the room.
She spoke,
"I do not wish to see anyone."
While she spoke, Su Yan undid the collar of the Dragon Robe.
Revealing the inner camisole.
Just as she was about to continue,
there was a loud bang.
The door to the Imperial Study Room was pushed open.
Standing at the entrance were Situ Xiu and Chi Xing, along with the guard who tried but failed to stop them.
The three of them looked in unison at the scene inside the room.
The guard called out,
"Who are you?!"
Su Yan had her head lowered initially.
Upon hearing someone break in at the doorway,
her hand acted faster than her eyes.
The dagger flew out, and she simultaneously yanked something from her waist and flung it out.
