Chapter 339
The Regent’s Little Emperor (64)
Sponsored Content
Xie Yunting hadn’t put on the proper emperor’s robes because there was still something he needed to do .
Zhao Wang was already dead .
All military power now fell into his hands .
The court was also purged . And because the previous emperor was mediocre and useless, had indulged in womanly charms and was derelict in his duties, the people had no way to get by .
So nobody protested Xie Yunting’s rise to the throne .
The dynasty had declined to this extent .
Xie Yunting was like their savior .
If it hadn’t been for Bai Weiwei, perhaps he would have assumed the position by now .
He held Bai Weiwei’s hand . “From today, there will be no Bai Wei in this world . You are no longer the emperor . You will only be my wife and the empress of this new dynasty . ”
Bai Weiwei’s fingers were ice-cold, and even the expression in her eyes was cool .

She was silent .
Xie Yunting’s heart soured . He would rather she hate him, curse at him, rather than see her like this .
“Wait for me . I’ll come to pick you up later . ”
When he was about to turn and go, she suddenly said: “For how long are you going to keep me tied?”
She moved her foot, and the chain on her ankle made a noise .
Xie Yunting’s footsteps stilled . He was still a little uneasy, but thinking that she couldn’t run away, he came back .
He reached out and placed her in a chair . He bent down and grasped her foot, taking out the key to uncuff her ankle .
Once she was freed from the shackles, Bai Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief .
Xie Yunting took the chain and whispered: “If you run, I’ll lock you up in the future . ”
Bai Weiwei suddenly lifted her foot and kicked him in the chest . “Leave, you thieving minister . ”

Xie Yunting didn’t dodge or move and bore the brunt of her kick, the expression in his eyes still affectionate . “I’ll fight with you later, if you’d like . ”
He gazed at her with a foolish but hopeful gaze .
Seeing enough, he stood up and headed out once again .
The system, who was momentarily speechless, finally spoke: “From bent man to do-M, it’s really not easy for host . ”
Bai Weiwei: “Is he far away?”
The system confirmed .
Bai Weiwei complained: “Can’t it be cheaper? Three days, ah, a small packet of drugs for three days?”
The system sighed: “Your level is low . Without a discount, you don’t even have the authority to buy soul snatching powder1 . ”
Bai Weiwei: “Forget it, forget it, quickly sprinkle it . ”
As of right now she had no power or influence, and Chen Jingzhi was preoccupied with fighting Xie Yunting and was too busy to help her out .
But if there was even a small chance of saving herself, she wouldn’t ask the system for help .

The system scattered the soul snatching powder, and all the people in the palace hall watching her fell down, one by one .
Bai Weiwei immediately headed out . Everyone she met on the way was served soul snatching powder .
She continued unimpeded all the way until she reached the place where morning court was held .
She saw the emperor, the young man who looked like her, wearing the emperor’s clothes, sitting and trembling in fear .
There weren’t that many people left in the hall . A sprinkle of soul snatching powder, and they all fell .
It was a show2 today .
Xie Yunting intended to lead the army from outside directly into the palace .
Then he would kill the emperor with one shot, declare himself as emperor, and crown his empress .
It was a show to let the world know .
That Xie Yunting had rebelled, and the heavens would also change .
Compared to the beginning, when he wanted to boil her alive, and then seize the edict of abdication, this was more decisive, not leaving any escape route .
Bai Weiwei had long known Xie Yunting’s ruthlessness .
But to be this vicious, it was out of her expectations .
The youth, seeing her, panicked . “Did you come here to kill me ahead of time?”
From the very beginning, the substitute had known that he would die, but his fear hadn’t diminished by even half a point .
Bai Weiwei shook her head and suddenly smiled . “Come down and change clothes with us . ”
The youth’s face was pale . “Change… change clothes?”
Bai Weiwei nodded, smiling slightly, her posture calm and relaxed .
1: 迷魂药: TheWhiteBook and I did our best with this because it kept being translated as ecstasy and love potion LOL but it’s just a knockout drug! No literal soul snatching here, unfortunately(?)
2: TL engines called it a ceremony or rite, but the entire plan is more of a show or play imo .
