Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Upon learning that all the palace maids and eunuchs in her palace had been killed, the Empress Dowager was terrified to the point of Soul Scatter, and she begged for mercy in front of the Weirdo: "Eldest Prince, spare me, I also have my own difficulties."

Lv Yinfeng kicked over fiercely: "Spare me the nonsense, at death’s door and still making excuses. It was you who chopped off my Master’s limbs with your own hands years ago. Now when seeking your life, you speak of difficulties. Consort De, decades have passed; you’ve regressed in your ways."

"Ah...!" Lv Yinfeng’s kick was so heavy that it sent her flying several steps, terrifying the Empress Dowager into crying hard while lying on the ground. She was dressed in undergarment, her long hair spread messily on the ground, appearing utterly miserable.

The Empress Dowager truly wished it were all just a dream, where upon waking, everything would return to normal. However, the excruciating pain penetrating her heart was no illusion; resigned, she lay on the ground crying.

"Eldest Prince, don’t blame me, this is fate; blame only the fact that you were born into the Royal Family. If I don’t kill you, my Imperial Son will never have a chance to become Emperor." The Empress Dowager spoke while crying.

She always knew that one day, the sins of the past would bring retribution; she just hadn’t expected it to come so quickly.

More than twenty Princes of the Former Dynasty died by her hand, even The Late Emperor had no idea it was her doing. But as she aged, her heart grew increasingly anxious.

Of course, many of them did not die directly by her hand but were indirectly killed through her schemes; only the Eldest Prince had she personally chopped off his limbs. She couldn’t understand why she was so ruthless in her youth.

Looking back now, it was all an affliction caused by power.

"Hehehe...! You wicked old woman, after committing so many immoral deeds, you still have the audacity to make excuses for your murders." The Weirdo laughed, utterly exasperated.

Knowing that his followers had been trapped by this woman inside coffins for decades, the Weirdo wanted nothing more than to slap her to death. It seemed that not only was he subjected to poison hands in those days, but his followers also couldn’t escape their doom.

Though trembling with fear, the Empress Dowager refused to admit defeat: "Eldest Prince, I am not making excuses; living within the Royal Family, not fighting would mean only death. My actions were merely for survival; how is that wrong?"

Indeed! Throughout history, whenever encountering struggles for the throne, the battles were exceedingly brutal. Schemes and mutual slaughter among brothers were common, leaving only the strong.

"Hehehe...! Since Consort De considers it this way, I am relieved. You are right, none of us are wrong, just born in the wrong place. Today when I flay you alive, it is your fate, blame no one else." After finishing, he lowered his head and drew out a gleaming dagger from who knows where.

The Empress Dowager panicked. She could kill another’s life at any time, but her own life wasn’t as generous. Her eyes widened in terror as she lay on the ground, inching backward, "Eldest Prince, spare me!"

Weirdo: "Hehehe...! Just moments ago, you were speaking so righteously. What happened? Your life is precious, but others’ lives are worthless?"

Empress Dowager: "Eldest Prince, don’t be like this; at worst, I will have the Imperial Son return the throne to you."

Weirdo: "Return it to me? Hehehe...! Look at me now in this ghostly state; can I become Emperor?"

Back then, he had no intention for the throne but ended up harmed by the Empress Dowager, leaving him unrested, swearing to disrupt the dynasty. Whomever becomes Emperor, he just couldn’t let Consort De’s son become Emperor, or he’d choke on this grievance.

The Empress Dowager suddenly fell silent; the Eldest Prince’s state was all thanks to her, naturally she dared not say more, fearing angering the Eldest Prince would mean imminent death.
