After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 202

202~ The Empress in Disarray~

"Still not planning to tell the truth?"

The little Princess was already lying on the ground wriggling frantically like a maggot, trying to offset some of the pleasure, but the friction of the rope made her even more...

"Aba aba aba..."

The Empress attempting to wake the little Princess furrowed her brows tightly.

So she had already broken completely...

She had never noticed before, but looking now, the little Princess had quite a few sensitive spots on her body.

Including earlobes, both sides of her body, and inner thighs, practically her entire body was covered in sensitive spots!

"Ling... forget it."

Just about to call for the Maid Ling, she suddenly remembered Ling seemed to have been assigned by her to a very important task and had already left the Imperial Palace.

And Red Leaf had also been called by her to severely punish Xiyan. There didn't seem to be even a single maid she was accustomed to using around her.

Forget it, she would prepare the hot water herself this time. Anyway, there was no problem. She just needed to inject enough magic power into the heating Magic Array at the bottom of the water reservoir.

......

Not long after that...

Boom!!

With an explosion sound echoing through the sky, the soldiers in the Imperial Palace immediately rang the alarm bells.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Quickly return to the Imperial Palace to capture the assassin and protect Her Majesty the Empress and Princess Mo!!!"

"Uh... Captain, do you think there's a possibility that no one in the entire world can defeat Her Majesty the Empress?"

"Uh..."

After hearing this, the captain pondered for a moment.

It seemed she was right? In this world, aside from Evil Gods, no one could defeat the Empress!

Thinking of this, she wasn't so nervous anymore. She estimated that when she led the team over later, it would be to collect the corpse for that assassin.

On the Empress's side...

"Cough cough cough..."

The Empress gently fanned away the dust on her face with her hand.

So why exactly was this? This Magic Array exploded directly when she poured magic power into it.

Could it be that she injected too much magic power, and this Magic Array couldn't withstand it and burst directly?

However, she quickly dismissed this possibility.

Ridiculous. She had strictly followed the steps in the instruction manual, and the amount of magic power was controlled just right. There was absolutely no way she could burst this Magic Array!

"Your Majesty the Empress? Are you alright?"

Red Leaf and Xiyan hurriedly rushed over.

After the two of them heard the commotion from this side, they directly set aside the punishment at hand to come check the situation. The result was seeing the Empress covered in dust from the explosion, and a completely destroyed Magic Array.

"I'm fine. This degree of explosion can't hurt me."

"That's good then."

Red Leaf breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't some blind fool coming to the Imperial Palace to assassinate the Empress.

If the Empress got angry, who knew if she would turn the entire Scarlet City upside down to find that assassin.

However, this was the first time seeing the Empress in such a disheveled state.

"This heating Magic Array needs to be replaced. It's too fragile."

She hadn't even done anything yet. Just simply injecting magic power directly caused this Magic Array to explode. The quality was definitely problematic!

"Uh... may I boldly ask, how did Your Majesty the Empress use it?"

"I injected magic power according to the instruction manual. Is there a problem?"

"Well... you should have placed Magic Crystal Stones inside to supply magic power..."

Although the Empress's steps were correct, the Empress was a Great Archmage. The magic power in her body was extremely dense. Following the method in the instruction manual and directly injecting magic power would definitely burst the heating Magic Array!

However, regarding this point, she had no way to say anything.

The Empress, as a Great Archmage, usually didn't come into contact with this kind of relatively low-level Magic Array, and this was also the most unpopular Magic Array among support magic. Not knowing this kind of Magic Array couldn't withstand such dense magic power was normal.

Next time, she shouldn't skimp on costs. She should directly upgrade to a heating Magic Array that even the Empress could use!

This Magic Array's original design intention was to save magic power, create more heat to warm water, and didn't require too much magic power to operate. The cost was also very cheap.

Back when Scarlet Phoenix Nation hadn't achieved its current level of success, when it was still just a small country, because fiscal revenue was very low, there was no way to allocate funds to this kind of thing. At that time, she had scrimped by using some cheap materials to set up this Magic Array, and it had been in use for over ten years.

As the Head Maid of the Scarlet Maid Corps, although the time she spent by the Empress's side was two years later than Ling's, she was also among the first batch of people who followed the Empress back when Scarlet Phoenix Nation was founded. During the construction of this Imperial Palace, she even provided part of the layout design!

If it weren't for the Empress injecting magic power today and causing this heating Magic Array to explode, she would have forgotten that this Magic Array had actually been in use for over ten years! It could also be considered a historic architectural facility witnessing Scarlet Phoenix Nation step by step reaching its peak!

"Your Majesty the Empress, let me prepare hot water for you instead."

"Mm."

The Empress nodded.

If she could prepare it for her, that would be best. That Magic Array exploded so inexplicably just now...

Red Leaf grabbed Xiyan and walked out the door. Outside, a group of soldiers had already vigilantly set up a defensive line. Only after she and Xiyan came out did they lower their guard.

"It's nothing. Her Majesty the Empress just accidentally broke a Magic Array. If there's nothing else, you may return."

Red Leaf said to these soldiers.

"Dismiss!"

......

"Hey, what Magic Array do you think Her Majesty the Empress accidentally broke? The explosion sound was so loud!"

"Don't know, don't want to know either."

Two soldiers huddled together gossiping quietly.

"I think Her Majesty the Empress must be researching some new magic, right? Such great power! You didn't see the outer wall was shaken into several cracks!"

When he was outside earlier, he saw it. The Imperial Palace walls were shaken into several cracks!

You have to know that the walls in the Imperial Palace were all magically reinforced. Even if an Archmage came, they couldn't destroy them in one blow!

"Can you stop bothering me? I want some peace and quiet."

"Peace and quiet? Who's that? Great! So much for being brothers for life and neither of us finding girlfriends!? Confess honestly! Who is this 'peace and quiet'!?"

"..."

The soldier being nagged really couldn't stand it anymore and gave his so-called "good brother" a kick in the butt.

"Ow!"

......

......

"Your Majesty, the hot water is ready."

"Mm, just pour it directly into the bath."

The bath was where generations of rulers bathed, although her so-called relatives had long been slaughtered to the last one by her...

"Do you need to bring Princess Mo over?"

"No need. I'll go myself."

Right now, the little Princess was still bound up like a dumpling. She couldn't let others see her.
