Chapter 677: 677
Chapter 677 The Empress Regnant’s Enchanting Consort (9)
Whatever her purpose, he would survive anything .
As long as he was alive, he would continue to climb up .
Even if he had to pay with his body, use his looks1 to wait on people, he would bear it .
One day, he would stand at the top and then… kill all the people who humiliated him, including Bai Weiwei .
Feng Yunian thought this as the darkness in his eyes faded away . He smiled lightly, with the lofty grace of moonlight .
“Your Majesty, you’re injured . Let me look at you . ”
Bai Weiwei had just nodded her head .
When the doors to the resting chambers opened, and a swarm of soldiers and officials appeared .
They rushed over . “Your Majesty, are you alright? This humble official’s late arrival2 is a sin deserving ten thousand deaths . ”
An official noticed Feng Yunian and pulled out her sword . “You assassin, you still haven’t died? What do you want to do to Her Majesty?”
Feng Yunian tugged Bai Weiwei’s sleeve . Hearing the official’s words, the corner of his lips couldn’t help but hook up in a mocking sneer .
As expected, he was a dog that everyone could scold and beat .
Thinking this, his fingers clenched tightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a hidden sneer .
Then he heard Bai Weiwei’s nonchalant but cold and harsh voice .
“You sinner deserving ten thousand deaths, just where is there an assassin?”
The official was bewildered . “Your Majesty, this…”
Bai Weiwei turned around, her expression frosty . The empress’s pressure made the people present dare not breathe .
“You fools, the inner palace’s imperial guards were all swapped out, and yet none of you ever felt that anything was wrong . ”
Her eyes were cold and aloof as she gazed at the subjects lying prostrate on the floor .
“Zhen has been too kind and lax, letting you, this group of loafing3 officials, be so negligent in your duties . ”
The officials quivered and shook, not daring to step forward .
“Your Majesty, spare us . We are guilty . ”
Bai Weiwei sneered . “Of course, all of you are guilty . You dare to draw a sword in front of Zhen . You even shout about hitting and killing Zhen’s people . Do you want to rebel, ah?”
The officials immediately reacted .
It was not the assassination that made the empress furious .

But that they insulted… Feng Yunian?
Out of all the officials present, who here was not an intelligent person?
The officials immediately responded . Not caring about their face, they kowtowed to Feng Yunian . “This official has offended niangniang4, asking niangniang to forgive our sins . ”
When Feng Yunian heard himself being called niangniang, his expression stiffened .
Those high-ranking officials who just had been calling for his death were now fearfully and desperately begging for forgiveness .
His thin lips were slightly pursed . The feeling of shame in his heart faded somewhat .
His gaze was complicated as he looked at Bai Weiwei, who had stepped forward to block the official’s knife .
Her outline was unusually beautiful . The white robe embroidered with dark patterns clung to her slender waist and swayed .
An enchanting and beautiful figure that, even from behind, could stimulate one’s imagination .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to -25 . 】
Feng Yunian suddenly blushed . He immediately closed his eyes, secretly gritting his teeth in hate . What was he thinking?
Bai Weiwei heard the favorability rise, although it was only five points .

Still, it proved that her “Overbearing Emperor Loves Me” route was not wrong .
That’s right; she decided to stick to the Mary “No Brains” Sue5 in this plane .
The basic “Hating Heaven, Hating Earth, Only Loving You” strategy was unshakable .
The Mary Sue was precisely Feng Yunian .
And she was precisely the big loyal dog who loved the Mary Sue to death .
Would she still worry that the favorability wouldn’t rise?
Her expression chilled, and she said coldly: “Did none of you eat? Begging for mercy with such a small voice . ”
The officials immediately kowtowed with all their strength and shouted: “Forgive us, niangniang, we beg you to ask for Her Majesty’s pardon, please forgive us!”
Feng Yunian bit his lip . His thoughts darkened; he itched to kill all these people who looked down on him .
But if his methods were too cruel .
Would…
Feng Yunian’s thoughts halted . Just now, he had cared about Bai Weiwei’s opinion .
