The Empress Dowager is So Wicked If not for the scarcity of resources in the Cold Palace and the inner court’s ban on making a racket, the residents would have hung up lanterns and streamers, beaten gongs and drums, and celebrated Beauty Yu’s arrival with all the fanfare they could muster. “Did you hear? That Yu-shi has been sent here.” “Which Yu-shi?” “The one who holds her chin so high she looks at the sky instead of the road.” “Well, they do say no flower stays red for a…-

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying When Liao Yaoming went to the Directorate of Ceremonial to deliver the account books, he didn’t expect to run into Yao Xi at the entrance.

Ancient Chinese timekeeping divided the day into twelve two-hour periods (shichen) and a day and night into one hundred quarters (ke). when Yao Xi arrived at Jingling Palace. The sun had not yet fully set, and the desolate, lonely Jingling Palace shimmered with a golden light in the afterglow of the sunset. From a distance, it didn't look like a Cold Palace, but rather a holy temple for people to…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying Yao Xi felt that Daxing was doomed. In this enormous Imperial Palace, they couldn't even be bothered to light a few streetlamps in the uninhabited sections. The area she’d gotten lost in last time was pitch-black, and tonight’s Jingling Palace was no different. It wasn't like they were collecting any less in taxes from the common people, and there hadn't been any wars in recent years. So where was the money! Where was the money! Was the imperial family so poor…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying After a few cups of wine, Emperor Ming Cheng grew more talkative. He saw Wan Bi as an ally who shared a common secret, so he could only speak to her about the many worries he could not voice to outsiders. He wasn’t afraid Wan Bi would tell anyone, either. For one, Wan Bi was even more tight-lipped than he was. For another, Wan Bi had no friends; even if she wanted to talk, she had nowhere to go. “Sigh, We have it so hard!” Emperor Ming Cheng let out a long…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying Clutching the painting scroll tightly, Yao Xi ran through the imperial palace, sobbing. The palaces she passed all lit their lamps. The path before her was pitch black, but behind her was a trail of brilliant light. Beauty Yu was startled from her dreams by the mournful cries. She quickly summoned the night-duty palace maid and asked, “Did you hear a woman crying?” The night-duty maid was already scared witless. She stammered, “Ever since the Hai Hour,The…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying While delivering a register to the Directorate of Ceremonial, Liufu ran into Yao Xi, who was just heading back to the Bureau of Imperial Gardens after speaking with Zheng Dayun. After the incident a year ago, he had never spoken to Yao Xi again. That kid Yao Xi was clever enough to have never sought him out, either. The two people who had mutually altered each other's fates each harbored their own thoughts, never breathing a word about what had happened a year…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying In his Study Room, Zhu Xiangchang sat with his grandson, who was not yet two years old, nestled in his arms. Stroke by stroke, he wrote characters on a piece of paper, teaching the child to read. “Repeat after your grandfather. Tian—” Zhu Xiangchang took his little grandson’s hand, guiding the boy’s tiny finger to trace the inky lines on the paper. The little child’s pronunciation was unclear, and he always pronounced “tian” as “dian.”"Tian"…

The Empress Dowager is Terrifying “Will you fucking get over here and give me a hand! Can’t you see this master’s leg is busted?” The sound of someone being berated came from outside the door. Who else could it be but Liao Bing? Falling into Liao Bing’s hands meant death, or at least losing half her life. Yao Xi scrambled off the bed, grabbed her shoes, and rushed to the window. She removed the chipped porcelain vase propping it open, pushed the window open gently, and threw one of her…
