All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: No One Can Take Her Throne

The surname Hee, he isn’t fond of it at all; he even considers it a disgrace.

”Empress, will I be called Yun Wenqian from now on?” Hee Wenqian asked excitedly, his demeanor leaving the ministers with mixed feelings. How much did Hee Qingshan truly dislike the Eldest Prince, for him to have no attachment to the surname Hee?

Seeing Qiann Yan nod slightly, Yun Wenqian immediately knelt down: ”Thank you, Empress.” Being able to rid himself of that despised surname made the filthy images in his mind blur significantly.

The ministers exchanged complex looks; the Eldest Prince’s agitation indicated how terrible Hee Qingshan had been.

”Great King, can we really not escape, and have to stay in the Cold Palace?” Ling Shishi cried with a mournful expression, clearly confused about how things had come to this when she hadn’t done anything wrong recently.

Hee Qingshan slumped against the worn door frame, looking dejected: ”I never thought Yun Qianyan could be so ruthless.”

Earlier in the court, it was clear that Yun Qianyan wasn’t relying solely on the pretty-faced State Preceptor. The State Preceptor’s schemes seemed to perfectly align with her intentions.

”No, as long as I live, I won’t give up. Someday, I will make Yun Qianyan regret it.” Hee Qingshan vowed venomously, and seeing his determination eased Ling Shishi’s heart slightly. As long as Hee Qingshan doesn’t give up, there is still hope.

They’re not defeated yet!

Yet none of them anticipated that Qiann Yan would come to see them personally that night, without bringing anyone else along.

”Yun Qianyan, you must be quite pleased, aren’t you? I thought you were dazzled by that pretty face, but now I understand, you intended to become emperor from the start, and I was entirely fooled by you.” Hee Qingshan, having nothing to lose, dared to say anything.

Qiann Yan remained entirely unfazed, dressed in a dark dragon robe, her head adorned with an exquisite crown, appearing coldly glamorous and noble.

”If I hadn’t become Emperor, then your fate today might very well have been mine.”

Hee Qingshan gritted his teeth, not denying the possibility, but still said: ”As long as you hand over power and obey obediently...”

”Hee Qingshan, who are you trying to fool? I command heavy forces, I hold the people’s allegiance, yet you cannot tolerate me? Are you daydreaming again? Don’t forget the kingdom is mine.” Qiann Yan interrupted Hee Qingshan’s deceit, ”I’ve come tonight to see you off on your journey.”

”Yun Qianyan, what are you planning to do?” Hee Qingshan was genuinely panicked now, wasn’t being sent to the Cold Palace enough? What does ’see you off’ mean?

Hee Qingshan rushed out, trying to flee, but Qiann Yan swiftly kicked him in the knee, sending sharp pain radiating through him; he couldn’t get back up, his face scarred and more monstrous with anguish.

Ling Shishi, frightened, attempted to bolt out but Qiann Yan deftly kicked her back inside.

With Hee Qingshan devoid of value, and both children changing surnames, keeping them was a liability. Better for them to ”die of illness.”

Wasn’t that the original owner’s fate as well?

No matter how poor her health, she wouldn’t have died of illness immediately upon being sent to the Cold Palace. Ling Shishi’s visit that night was merely to deliver the items for the original owner’s demise.

She had a curiosity about reenacting things others have done, to see if it was indeed enjoyable.

”Is the original owner watching?”

System 666: [Watching, Host.]

”Is she thrilled?”

System 666 glanced at the solemn-faced Ex-Queen Yun, lying beside the well, and with a dubious conscience replied: [Extremely thrilled, can’t wait, she even said the host did splendidly.]

Ex-Queen Yun froze: The system seemed somewhat two-faced.

”Good, I also think she’ll be quite expectant about the two persons perishing in the Cold Palace.” Qiann Yan took out a bottle of pills.
