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

Chapter 293

293~ The Little Princess Who Won't Get Out of Bed~

She didn't want others to hear herself being addressed like this.

As for why...... that was of course because these guys who colluded with remnants of the previous dynasty and betrayed Her Majesty the Empress weren't worthy of hearing it!

Although generally speaking, she also wouldn't want anyone to hear herself being addressed like this......

"Okay, okay, okay. Ling, clean up the scene."

"Understood."

These few High-Grade Magic Scrolls were of quite high quality. Without needing to think, one knew they must have come from a Great Archmage's hand.

However, none of that mattered. In any case, no matter what, they couldn't possibly escape from her hands. If they escaped, the face she'd lived so long would be completely lost.

"Lady Cecilia, how should these Magic Scrolls be handled?"

"There's no need to ask me about this, right? Aren't you the head person in charge of this purge?"

Cecilia asked back.

She was just a thug. Responsible for holding down the fort and incidentally resolving some troublesome guys. As for other things, if you asked her, there was only one answer: I dunno!

What did a thug need to consider? Just beat people up!

"......"

Ling fell silent for a brief moment, planning things out herself.

These Magic Scrolls should be handed to Princess Mo.

Princess Mo was presumably the one who needed these things most, being an ordinary person without Magic Power.

Although she could now wield Divine Power, it brought huge backlash and wasn't suitable for ordinary use. Moreover, using it a few more times would reach the person's limit.

These few Magic Scrolls imprinted with Spatial Magic were undoubtedly most suitable for the current Little Princess.

"Lady Cecilia, I think it's better to leave this place to you for now. Right now I need to continue pursuing my elder brother."

Her elder brother was the main target of this purge......

"Eh? Wait! Ling, come back here!"

Cecilia shouted loudly, but still couldn't call the Maid Ling back. Instead, it made Ling quicken her pace to leave.

Sigh, this child. Was it because of the thorn in her heart?

She really didn't know when this thorn in her heart could be removed.

As Ling's former mentor, she knew what the thorn in Ling's heart was, as well as the real name that could be deliberately buried......

......

"Red Leaf."

"Here."

"Have you searched out the target's traces?"

"We've searched them out, but the movements seem somewhat strange."

"Strange?"

Red Leaf handed the map in her hand to the Maid Ling.

"Look, this is the target's activity trajectory during this period. Suxing City was the final stop, but we didn't find any traces left by them in this city. There's even no one who knows such a person entered."

But these nobles really did have contact with the target during this period, even transactions.

"In other words, the target concealed themselves?"

"Yes, and the concealment technique is extremely sophisticated, able to evade the Scarlet Maid Corps's search."

Able to evade the Scarlet Maid Corps's search, their concealment and disguise technical ability was absolutely top-tier level.

Now she'd probably have to spend even more time to dig out her elder brother. And the extra time needed meant she faced even higher risk!

Originally, the plan was to swiftly resolve the problem before the Empress's body recovered, lest the Empress discover this operation wasn't at all like what she'd reported and cancel the operation.

This operation had originally been conducted behind the Empress's back with a separate set of plans, precisely to deal a devastating blow to the forces of previous dynasty remnants in one stroke. So they'd completely disregarded the citizens' wishes, directly barging into each household to search, and had even directly sealed off the entire Suxing City.

And the Empress paid great attention to the citizens' wishes. After learning of their behavior, she'd definitely cancel it directly.

After all, when the Empress took office, she'd made a promise, which was to absolutely respect the citizens' wishes. Under normal circumstances, as long as the Empress hadn't stepped down, she absolutely wouldn't impose coercive actions on citizens without soliciting opinions whatsoever.

And if the Empress truly acted according to her own promises, by that time the mastermind behind the scenes would have long since fled who knows where!

Therefore, they had their plan, while also not wanting the Empress to find it difficult and troublesome when facing this mastermind later.

The Empress's current mental state was extremely fragile. After recovering, if she then faced this kind of matter that consumed enormous mental energy, problems would definitely occur.

Their Her Majesty the Empress had worked for a long time under long-term high mental pressure, causing mental problems......

They didn't want their Her Majesty the Empress to ruin her body later.

This was a full ten years of high mental pressure work. The only period of true rest was because of the Little Princess's existence.

She'd rather the Empress neglect proper duties more, than see a generation's emperor collapse due to mental problems.

Furthermore, a Great Archmage with mental problems was a disaster-level time bomb! Extremely dangerous to anyone, especially the Little Princess who'd always stayed by the Empress's side.

"Immediately, carpet search!"

The Maid Ling ordered.

"Better to mistakenly kill than to let anyone go! Have everyone stay in their homes waiting for searches! Anyone who goes out on the streets without reason, arrest them all!"

"Understood!"

The Scarlet Maid Corps members participating in this purge operation responded, then went down to pass the orders to other soldiers.

Only this way had the highest possibility of digging that guy out!

She had to hurry!

......

......

"Princess, time to get up!"

"Mmm mmm mmm......"

The Little Princess rolled over in bed, hugged the Maid Xiao Xi's thigh, and continued sleeping.

Maid Xiao Xi: ⚆_⚆?

Sure enough, she shouldn't have agreed to let Princess sleep together with her?

She felt that perhaps if the Little Princess slept together with the Empress, she fundamentally wouldn't stay in bed. She'd even flip off the bed immediately when the time came.

And now, after sleeping with her while hugging a little dinosaur body pillow, no matter how much she called in the morning, she couldn't wake her up.

And the Empress directly slept in the Little Princess's bedchamber, the kind permitted by the Little Princess.

And as for the two of them...... they quite naturally slept in the maid dormitory.

And this maid dormitory actually only had the Maid Xiao Xi living alone. It was also specially permitted by Gong. Other maids and attendants all lived in different dormitories. Reportedly, it was to facilitate the Little Princess occasionally going to find the Maid Xiao Xi to sleep at night.

After growing up, the number of times the Little Princess ran to find the Maid Xiao Xi to sleep gradually decreased, until finally she slept completely alone.

"Princess!!!"

"I haven't slept enough!"

The Little Princess very dissatisfiedly patted the Maid Xiao Xi's butt.

She still wanted to sleep!!!

"Not acceptable! Princess, since you chose to sleep with me, you should properly follow my sleep schedule!"

"No! You, a mere little maid, what qualifications do you have to manage me!?"

"What qualifications? The qualifications His Majesty gave me!"

She discovered that although her Princess had temporarily emerged from withdrawal, she'd become extremely undisciplined!
