Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Yu Niaoniao woke up, she realized that she was lying on a large carved bed. There was soft bedding under her, and she could smell a faint fragrance.

She placed one hand on the bed and slowly sat up. Then she raised her hand to the back of her neck.

After a brief blankness in her mind, she gradually remembered what had happened before she fainted.

She immediately became nervous. Princess Ni Yang already knew that she had entered the secret passage. Would she be silenced?

Yu Niaoniao looked around warily. This was an exquisitely decorated boudoir. The candles on the table were burning quietly. The incense burner was still emitting faint green smoke. There was a thick wool carpet on the ground.

The room was empty except for her.

Where was she?

Yu Niaoniao got out of bed and realized that she was only wearing a piece of loose light-colored innerwear. The hairpin in her hair had been removed, and her long black hair hung straight behind her.

She casually pulled the outer shirt hanging from the hanger and wrapped it around her. Then she picked up the brush on the desk and quickly tied her waist-length hair into a bun.

She looked down at her bare feet and back at the bed. There was no sign of shoes.

There were no shoes in this room.

Yu Niaoniao could only walk to the door barefooted.

The door was closed. She had expected it to be locked from the outside. However, she pushed it open with a gentle push.

This surprised her and made her even more uneasy.

Princess Ni Yang had kidnapped her here but did not lock the door. This could only mean that Princess Ni Yang was not worried that she could escape at all.

She stuck her head out and looked out. There was a long corridor with palace lights hanging under it.

There were no stars or moon in this place, let alone the sun. One could only rely on the lights.

Yu Niaoniao extended a foot and crossed the threshold. She stepped on the white marble floor. The coldness made her shiver.

She gritted her teeth and put her other foot out.

The feeling of stepping barefoot on white marble could be said to be heart-piercing.

But now was not the time to fuss over such small matters.

Yu Niaoniao found a direction and ran forward quickly.

She wanted to find out what this place was. How could she get out of there?

At the end of the corridor was a door.

She pushed open the door and walked in. What greeted her was the dazzling palace room.

Princess Ni Yang was trying on a dragon robe tailored for her.

Four or five palace maids surrounded her and helped her tidy her skirt and bun.

Hearing a commotion behind her, Princess Ni Yang turned around. She saw Yu Niaoniao, who had suddenly barged in, and smiled.

“You’re finally awake.”

Although Yu Niaoniao had long known the secret of Princess Ni Yang wanting to become an emperor, she could not help but be stunned on the spot.

The dragon robe on Princess Ni Yang had been modified, and the style had become more suitable for women. When it was worn on Princess Ni Yang, it could highlight her figure as a woman and give her an imposing aura that made people not dare to look at her directly.

She raised her right hand and her wide sleeve waved gently.

“Come, help me take a look at this outfit. Is there anything else I need to change?”

The surrounding palace maids silently retreated to the side.

Yu Niaoniao braced herself and walked over. “I’ve never seen you dressed like this. It feels strange.”

Princess Ni Yang raised her hand to adjust the golden dragon hairpin on her head and asked with a smile, “Then do you think I’m suitable for this outfit?” She had to bow her head.

Yu Niaoniao praised, “You’re as beautiful as a fairy. You look good even in a sack. ”

Princess Ni Yang laughed out loud.

“You’re so sweet.”

She extended her right hand to Yu Niaoniao.

“Come, it’s rare for you to come. I’ll show you around.”

Yu Niaoniao could not wait to look around and explore the terrain. She immediately replied, “Okay.”

She placed her right hand in Princess Ni Yang’s.

The two of them walked out of the palace hand in hand.

Walking out of the door, she saw a group of palaces as far as the eye could see. In the distance, she could even see high palace walls.

But magically, it was still dark above their heads. They could see neither moon nor stars nor the sun. They could only rely on lanterns and torches for illumination.

Princess Ni Yang was very proud of her success. “How is it? It’s not bad here, is it?”

Yu Niaoniao said sincerely, “It’s too spectacular.”

She was sure that this was not the palace, but everything here was extremely similar to the palace, like a miniature high-quality imitation of the palace.

Building such a place would require a lot of manpower and financial resources, not to mention time.

It could be seen that Princess Ni Yang’s plan to become the emperor had been confirmed a long time ago.

Princess Ni Yang led her up the steps and strolled along the palace path while chatting.

“At this point, I’m sure you know that I don’t want to be just a princess. I want to ascend the throne like those men and rule the world.”

Yu Niaoniao asked carefully, “Isn’t it good to be a princess?”

Princess Ni Yang asked, “What’s so good about it? Isn’t it just that you don’t have to worry about food and clothing?” Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

Wasn’t it enough to live in luxury?

This was the dream of many people!

Princess Ni Yang said unhurriedly.

“My biological mother is the empress. I’m the only legitimate daughter of the late emperor. In terms of background, none of those brothers could compare to me.”

“In terms of talent, I’m no worse than any of them. But because they’re princes, and I’m a princess, they would have a chance to be made heir apparent, while I could only be used as a bargaining chip in a marriage alliance with a man I didn’t even know.

“Is that fair?”

Yu Niaoniao said honestly, “It’s not fair.”

Princess Ni Yang continued.

“My first Prince Consort was a great general with a strong military power of 300,000 men. Father decreed a marriage for us.”

“Not long after I married him, he was sent to fight and then died on the battlefield. It had not been more than three months.”

“After my Prince Consort died, my father naturally took back his military power. At that time, I was still young and did not think about how sinister the human heart could be.”

“It was not until much later that I gradually understood the hidden trick. Myhad actually wanted to get rid of the great general who had made great contributions.”

“He had given me and the great general a marriage just to temporarily stabilize the great general and lower his guard against the emperor.”

“This was so that it would be convenient for my father’s next plan. As for whether the general had really died on the battlefield or was killed by someone else, no one knew.”

“Anyway, my father only treated me as a pawn from the beginning to the end. He wouldn’t care how I felt. He wouldn’t understand the pain of losing my consort so soon after marriage.”

“He only rewarded me with some things and felt that this matter could be over. I’m a person, not some Tom, Dick, or Harry. As long as I’m given some meat and bones, I have to forget the pain he caused me!”

Yu Niaoniao felt sad.

So paranoia wasn’t just a trait of the current emperor. The previous emperor had been just as paranoid.

This could be considered hereditary..
