Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

"I've already told you everything I know."

Li Yunsheng looked at the hypnosis card in his hand; there was no need to use it anymore.

He got up and left, while Wei Xiang walked behind Wenren Xu.

Just as Wei Xiang was about to make a move, Wenren Xu spoke up.

“I did not lose to you, but Wei Wenyu lost to the Empress.”

Li Yunsheng was free to act simply because he had an empress who had to obey his every word.

He believed that the great defeat was due to Wei Wenyu's refusal to heed his advice.

Li Yunsheng, standing at the door, said calmly.

"Losing to me is not shameful."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a snapping sound was heard.

Wenren Xu's neck was snapped by Wei Xiang.

……

Late November.

Xiahou Xun remained in charge of Wei for the time being, while Li Yunsheng led a portion of the Chu army to escort Wei's treasures to the capital.

He glanced at the still-rising sentiment index and expressed his confusion.

Ever since he left Beijing, for some reason, his emotional state has been steadily rising.

Prices rise during the day and rise at night.

He was curious to know what the Empress was thinking about him for so late at night.

At this point, the emotion value had risen to 45000.

Li Yunsheng casually clicked on a 10000-level five-pull.

[Congratulations! You have obtained 10 Physical Strength Points, 10000 Emotion Points, a Hidden Card, 5000 Emotion Points, and another Hidden Card!]

Note: You can bind it to yourself. You will gain emotional points based on your emotional fluctuations. The points are valid for one day.

Ok?

Li Yunsheng looked at it again and finally understood the purpose of the card.

This requires using it when you're experiencing a strong emotional fluctuation, such as when the Empress fulfills her promise...

He never expected that this day would come so soon.

As soon as he entered the city, he received an imperial decree to enter the palace.

The Empress did not summon him to Weiyang Palace, but instead went to the Zichen Hall of Taiji Palace, where the morning court was held.

As soon as he stepped into the Zichen Palace, Shangguan Xuanran closed the palace door from the outside.

Li Yunsheng glanced around and found no assassins lying in ambush in the hall.

Several dancers sat on either side of the main hall.

These were all the dancers who used to perform the Rainbow Feather Dance for Jiang Qingying every day.

However, this time they were not dancers but musicians, playing instruments and making music.

"Your Majesty, Xiahou Xun has pacified the State of Wei. The State treasury and the Imperial Treasury of Wei have been escorted back to the capital, and the Ministry of Revenue is currently conducting a preliminary accounting—"

The Empress sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down at Li Yunsheng, and interrupted him.

“A king’s word is his bond. I have summoned you here today to fulfill our bet.”

Li Yunsheng crushed the limited-time self-binding card hidden in his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, are you not waiting for the calculation results?"

The initial bet was twice the 70 million taels of silver, but he had already ordered his men to count it in Wei.

Jiang Qingying said calmly.

"The total amount is 150 million taels of silver. Didn't Minister Li already count it in Wei?"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and then bent over.

She gently took off her boots, then her stockings, revealing her snow-white feet.

Li Yunsheng looked up, but because the dragon desk was blocking his view, he couldn't see what the Empress was doing.

When the Empress stood up again and walked around the dragon table.

Li Yunsheng then noticed that the Empress was indeed barefoot.

Jiang Qingying stepped off the platform, her feet sinking into the cold floor.

Finally, he stood in the very center of the main hall, in front of Li Yunsheng.

"I have already learned the Rainbow Feather Dance that Minister Li selected."

Chapter 86 Dancing with Shadows, the Empress Ascends on Clouds

When the dancers performed this dance, Jiang Qingying understood why this dance had been chosen.

Isn't it because it requires jumping barefoot?

If he wants to see feet, he should satisfy him himself.

She was initially furious at the humiliation.

However, Li Yunsheng was gone for several months.

She realized after the great drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty that she had fallen into Li's trap from the very beginning.

The anger in my heart was completely released through dancing these past few days.

Her mood score rises during the day and at night because she studies during the day and practices at night.

This was chosen by Li Yunsheng, so naturally, he would be the first person that comes to mind.

Haste makes waste, and anger makes one lose their mind.

After her anger subsided, she seemed to have grasped a clue among her various suspicions about Li Yunsheng.

The incident of eating candied hawthorns made her suspicious of Li Yunsheng, but she couldn't figure out why.

All I know is that the plot started to change after Li Yunsheng fell seriously ill.

As she recounted Li's numerous treasonous acts over the past year, she suddenly realized—

Not only is the plot wrong, but Li Yunsheng himself is also wrong.

He's changed!

Although he still wielded power and formed cliques for personal gain as before.

But she forced herself to wear a cheongsam and dance the Rainbow Feather Dance barefoot.

He wouldn't do things that don't bring any real benefit.

So what is the purpose of the other party doing these things?

Recalling the times he had lost his temper and become so enraged, Li Yunsheng felt triumphant and smug each time he succeeded.

She seemed to understand what Li Yunsheng wanted—to see her angry.

I danced this time, but I will never be fooled again!

He thought that being reborn would allow him to easily control Li Yunsheng.

But to his surprise, he found himself being manipulated like a puppet by Li Ze.

After this annihilation of the guards, she became even more convinced of one thing: Li Yunsheng was also a reincarnated person.

Otherwise, how could he have known that a severe drought would occur in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even made arrangements in advance?

Having figured this out, the Empress no longer harbored any illusions when facing Li Yunsheng.

The attempt to force Li to relinquish power through a bet is a stark lesson!

in the hall.

Li Yunsheng was unaware of what the Empress was thinking, but he was still somewhat surprised to hear those words.

The empress was no longer so easily fooled; her carefully orchestrated dance had been discovered.

However, he didn't have the luxury of thinking about how the Empress had discovered this matter.

because--

He appeared to be bowing his head respectfully, but in reality, his eyes were fixed on the pair of jade-like feet before him.

So this is what the 'food-grade jade feet' he described in his book look like.

The arch of the foot is delicate and smooth, and the toes are as round and lustrous as pearls.

He admitted that he chose this dance partly because of his own selfish reasons.
