by Little Panda — 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.

Your Majesty is Poisonous – Chapter 12

by Little Panda — 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…

Your Majesty is Poisonous – Chapter 9

by Little Panda — 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?

Your Majesty is Poisonous – Chapter 14

by Little Panda — 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…
