282~ Totally Got Her!!!~
"Your Majesty."
"Mm."
The Empress shook her head, only feeling a wave of dizziness.
Having used dream magic at high intensity, and ultimately coming out bearing almost all the impact herself, the Little Princess had only been affected, receiving much less damage.
"Bring me a set of clean clothes."
Having lain in bed for so long, two or three days without cleaning her body or changing clothes, no matter what, there would still be some odor.
"Yes."
After changing into clean clothes, following Maid Ling's description, she arrived at the dining hall and saw the Little Princess who had already finished half of dinner.
"Mm-meow?"
"You got up so quickly?"
"...What happened to us today?"
As soon as she saw the Empress, the Little Princess couldn't help but inquire.
"Nothing much. You were just too tired, so I held you and took a nap."
Too tired? Maybe. Perhaps it was because she had really cried herself exhausted today.
However, there was one thing she didn't understand. Why did she feel so much better after waking up? Could it be...
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could she possibly feel a sense of security from the Empress? Clearly, the Empress was the most dangerous ticking time bomb!
Quickly finishing dinner, she summoned little loli maid Xiyan.
"Xiyan, tidy up. I want to go outside for some fresh air."
"Yes!"
Xiyan, who hadn't seen her Princess Mo for several days, was somewhat excited but didn't dare show it, because the Empress didn't want the Little Princess to know what had actually been experienced during this period.
Seeing the Little Princess off, Xiyan quickly cleaned up the leftovers on the dining table.
"Ling."
"Present."
"Has anything happened these past few days?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there has been some unrest domestically. I've already sent people to conduct a certain degree of suppression and adjustment, but the rest still requires your decree's approval before proceeding."
"Unrest?"
"Yes, the remnants of the previous dynasty are plotting to gather remaining forces and some merged nobles together to rebel, wanting to overthrow Your Majesty's rule."
"Mm, in that case... then leave this matter to you to handle. You're the one I trust most."
The main thing was that she was still quite weak right now and couldn't appear to preside over things.
"Under the condition of not affecting the people's interests, capture them all alive. If there's no way to capture them alive, execute them on the spot without question."
"Ling understands."
The corner of Maid Ling's mouth curved up slightly, the arc almost invisible.
Even under the premise of having undergone high-intensity expression control training, she still couldn't suppress her smile.
The Empress had fully entrusted her to handle it single-handedly, meaning this matter could be done entirely according to her ideas. Then directly capturing all these remnants in one fell swoop would be fine, even directly sentencing them to death would be acceptable.
This was exactly what she needed. As long as she had the Empress's authorization, then she could do this under the Empress's name, and no one would dare obstruct them.
And the problem Cecilia's side encountered just happened to require the Empress's agreement... which was to completely eradicate a noble!
Through her considerable period of observation, this noble definitely had connections with the remnants of the previous dynasty, even deep cooperation. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this kind of rapid development speed, suddenly expanding the main family's scale several times over.
Previously, limited by not having the authority to handle this matter, unable to deal with this noble, now she held significant power...
As long as the Empress hadn't grown suspicious of her and hadn't withdrawn her authority, she could get it all done in one go!
Because this would involve many interest issues, even causing Scarlet Phoenix Nation's imperial family to lose a portion of interests, and the people's interests would also be harmed...
She knew that if the Empress knew, she definitely wouldn't allow her to implement the Great Purge, so she resorted to this desperate measure...
"Then Your Majesty, I'll go down and prepare first."
"Go, go."
The Empress waved her hand, dismissing Maid Ling.
"..."
......
......
"Princess Mo! Princess Mo! Wait for me!"
Maid Xiao Xi continuously chased after her Princess Mo, already about to be exhausted to death.
Who knew that the Little Princess who had been sickly before could walk so far in the time it took her to collect the bowls and dishes?
However, this could also be considered a good thing.
The previously listless, passive, and lazy Little Princess who didn't even want to leave her room had disappeared. Now, every step of the Little Princess was much steadier than before!
"Xiyan."
"Present!"
"Tell me honestly, what exactly did Fei do to me during the time I was asleep?"
No matter how she thought about it, something was off. She always felt she had overlooked something.
"Nothing? I don't know!?"
"Nothing?"
The Little Princess kept staring at little loli maid Xiyan's face and discovered Xiyan didn't look like she was lying to her either.
Mm-meow...
Alright, it did indeed look like she truly wasn't lying.
"Sit with me for a bit."
The Little Princess patted beside herself.
"Yes!"
"Why haven't I received any letters from my Father the King recently?"
"About that, it seems Glaze Nation's side is vigorously building production. Your Father the King, Princess Mo, has been busy and can't spare time to write back to you."
"Is that so?"
She felt it wasn't the case though?
"It is... There's also been gossip saying that Glaze Nation is currently adjusting policies, reforming some urban districts..."
"Reform?"
The Little Princess was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted. Wasn't that the matter her Father the King had mentioned to her in a letter before, asking for her opinion?
This way, it made sense. It was normal that her Father the King hadn't sent her letters for a period of time.
Busy with implementing reforms. Not being able to spare time was very normal.
Thinking back to when she was considering policies and reforming the White Glaze Special Experimental Zone, the workload was so great that she felt as if she'd returned to her past life's high school period, living a life of six in the morning to nine at night.
So it was normal that her Father the King had no time to write. He had to reform an entire nation! Completing the final transformation of feudal society! Completely transitioning to a feudal nation! She didn't even dare imagine the workload, with files and memorials piled up like a mountain on Father the King's desk.
"What about more news?"
"I don't know that either! This is Glaze Nation's internal decision-making. How could outsiders know about it casually?"
This kind of major political reform, how could outsiders participate?
"Alright... Mm-meow!"
The Little Princess suddenly pulled back her tail, looking at little loli maid Xiyan with an angry expression.
"What are you doing!?"
Didn't she know her tail was precious?
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault for not being able to resist the temptation! Please punish me as you see fit, Princess Mo!"
Little loli maid Xiyan immediately knelt on one knee before the Little Princess.
"Ah..."
For a moment, the Little Princess was at a loss.
She had clearly only wanted to scold Xiyan a bit, telling Xiyan not to casually grab her tail to play with. Who knew Xiyan would react so strongly to her scolding?
Forget it, forget it...
"Get up, Xiyan. I didn't mean to blame you... If you're curious, at least tell me first. Touch it after getting my permission."
As she spoke, the Little Princess had already placed part of her tail in Xiyan's hands.
Xiyan: (●'◡'●)
Princess Mo... she totally got her!!!
