Chapter 737: Chapter 363: The New Empress Dowager?_3

Qing Niang covered her lips, tears streaming down her face.

——

Within the Imperial Palace.

The newly enthroned Emperor Zhou Kang wiped the bloodstains from his hands and tossed the bloodied blade onto the ground.

That blade had just severed the head of an official who dared to denounce him.

The grand hall was cloaked in an oppressive silence.

The heavy stench of blood saturated every corner.

Clad in the bright yellow Dragon Robe, Zhou Kang listened to the reports of his subordinates. His expression was dark and terrifying, the veins on his temples throbbing visibly.

"Fight! Then fight!"

Zhou Kang swept the items off the table onto the floor, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent. "Back then, my father slaughtered his way through a hail of blades and emerged victorious to claim the Dragon Throne—so can I!"

The officials below stood like frozen statues, their silence betraying their terror.

At that moment, an Inner Guard rushed in and leaned close to whisper a message.

Zhou Kang’s gaze flickered. Rising abruptly, he strode out of the Golden Throne Hall.

Soon, Zhou Kang arrived at the Fengluan Palace.

In the pavilion, Luo Wanqing, adorned in an opulent golden gown, reclined leisurely on the long bench, feeding fish in the pond.

Jiang Erliang, who customarily practiced swordsmanship nearby, was nowhere to be seen.

The widow who had recently lost her husband showed not a trace of sorrow on her face—let alone wearing mourning attire.

Zhou Kang gazed at this woman who once reigned as the mother of the nation. His eyes lingered on her alluring curves, his stare burning with fervent desire.

Once, the Eldest Prince Zhou Wei had admired Ye Zhuchan.

The Third Prince Zhou Yin had favored the Peony Demon who played the role of his mother for years.

But as for him—

His desires had always been fixated on this unparalleled beauty of an Empress.

In his eyes, this woman, with her uninhibited demeanor, noble bearing, a blend of sultry allure and dignified grace, was the true peerless beauty of the world—the ultimate enchantress.

For years, his father had failed to win her to his bed; to Zhou Kang, it was nothing short of a colossal waste.

And now... he had the chance.

"Stationing so many soldiers around Fengluan Palace—what, are you planning to imprison me?"

Luo Wanqing’s tone was languid.

Struggling to suppress the wicked thoughts in his heart, Zhou Kang stepped forward with a forced smile, "Empress, you jest. I... I am merely ensuring your safety."

"Empress?"

Luo Wanqing stared at him mockingly. "Am I still an Empress?"

Zhou Kang’s gaze burned into her, his words layered with implication: "If the Empress wishes, naturally, you may remain as such."

Hearing this, Luo Wanqing burst into laughter.

She laughed until her shoulders shook like delicate flowers swaying in the breeze.

Pointing a jade-like finger at Zhou Kang, she chuckled, "I never took notice before, but you, boy, truly have grown bolder. I underestimated you."

Luo Wanqing stood up.

In an instant, the fish in the pond leaped out of the water, transforming into countless invisible Sword Qi.

Zhou Kang turned pale with fright.

The distant Inner Guards, seeing this, attempted to charge forward, but the moment they moved, they erupted into clouds of blood mist.

Plop!

Zhou Kang buckled under the immense pressure and collapsed to his knees.

Cold sweat poured down the sides of his face.

Luo Wanqing raised her embroidered shoe and pressed it down sharply on Zhou Kang’s head, forcing the mighty Emperor’s face against the icy ground.

"What should Your Majesty call me?"

Luo Wanqing asked sweetly, smiling.

Zhou Kang was humiliated, yet his fear outweighed all else.

Hadn’t he used the Square Sky Technique in advance to suppress this woman’s cultivation?

Why was she unaffected?

As the crushing pressure on his head intensified, forcing unbearable pain upon him, Zhou Kang finally choked out two words: "Mother... Dowager."

"Now that’s my good boy."

Luo Wanqing smiled in satisfaction and withdrew her foot. "I originally planned to kill you, but on second thought, becoming the Empress Dowager doesn’t sound too bad. After all, riches and power aren’t going anywhere."

She gave Zhou Kang’s face a light kick with her foot, laughing as she said:

"Go and prepare a carriage for Mother Dowager. I’m leaving the palace. With luck, I might even find you a father. No, wait—pay my respects—a Father Emperor for His Majesty."
