Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 424 The Crown Princess in a Female-Dominated World (The End)

In order to avoid making an even bigger fool of herself, Chu Jiaojiao still forced Lü Jinghuai to drink the safflower.

The child was lost, and Lü Jinghuai's health was also damaged, making it impossible for him to conceive again.

Chu Jiaojiao didn't expect that Lü Jinghuai had no intention of letting her go either.

They actually bribed the servants in the mansion to give her a drug that would prevent her from having children, so she will never be able to have children again in her life.

The two ended up in a love-hate relationship, becoming the laughing stock of everyone in the capital.

The Empress completely abandoned this daughter, and along with her husband, the Imperial Noble Consort, she also neglected him.

When her father told these things to Qingmo as a joke, she was already thinking about when to make her mother abdicate.

Since being the crown princess is more arduous than being the emperor, she might as well be the emperor.

However, the empress was in her prime and had no intention of abdicating.

This is going to be difficult. If she doesn't back down, then we'll have to force her to.

There was no way around it; she couldn't stand the hardship. She wanted to be in a position where she could enjoy a comfortable life.

She then began to secretly plot, using the opportunity of handling government affairs to place her own forces in the court, while also befriending officials of the Six Ministries, gradually gaining control of key powers in the court.

They gradually undermined the Empress's authority.

By the time the empress realized what was happening, it was too late.

Most of the officials in the imperial court have already sided with Qingmo.

You can't not take sides; she'll kill anyone who doesn't support her.

If you're not afraid of death, then go all out.

"Your Majesty, please abdicate and let the Crown Princess inherit the throne."

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!"

The courtiers all knelt down, their shouts echoing so loudly that the palace reverberated.

In the Golden Palace, Qingmo, dressed in a black python robe, stood with her hands behind her back, calm and aloof, as if everything was irrelevant to her.

The Empress sat high on her dragon throne, her gaze sweeping over the assembled officials in the hall. She noticed that the ministers who had once bowed their heads in submission were now all hanging their heads, none daring to meet her eyes.

She gripped the armrests of the dragon throne tightly, her knuckles turning white, yet she still maintained her imperial dignity, and sneered, "Crown Princess, are you trying to force me to abdicate?"

Qingmo stood in the hall, her expression calm and composed, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Your son is only concerned about your advanced age and cannot bear to see you continue to worry about state affairs."

"Wouldn't it be better to retire and enjoy one's old age?"

Haha, getting old? She's only thirty-five this year, how can she be considered old?

The Empress sneered, "Very well! I never noticed your wolfish ambitions."

"Are you getting old?"

The Empress laughed in fury, "I am in the prime of my life, why should I need your sympathy? Do you really think I can't see through your wolfish ambitions?!"

Qingmo sighed, seemingly helpless yet also mocking: "Mother, why deceive yourself? The court is no longer under your control."

Qingmo bowed slightly, "Mother, I am only thinking of the country and its people. After you abdicate, I will make the world more prosperous and strong."

She raised her hand and waved, and the imperial guards outside the hall surged in, their swords flashing, completely surrounding the hall.

The Empress's pupils contracted, and she finally realized that her daughter had already laid a trap, waiting for her to step into it and die.

"You...you actually dare..." The Empress's voice trembled slightly, her anger mixed with a hint of disbelief.

Qingmo stepped forward slowly, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Mother Empress, you taught your son that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

"You've been sitting on this throne long enough; it's time for a change of leadership."

The Empress stared intently at her for a long while, then suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with desolation: "Good! What a heartless wretch! I have truly raised a fine daughter!"

Qingmo remained unmoved and said calmly, "Please issue an edict for Your Majesty to abdicate, and I will ensure your peaceful old age."

The Empress sneered: "What if I don't agree?"

Qingmo's eyes turned cold, and she slowly uttered two words: "—Then, kill the lord."

The hall fell into a deathly silence; even breathing seemed to freeze.

The empress shuddered, finally realizing that she had nowhere to retreat.

After a long silence, she closed her eyes listlessly, her voice hoarse: "...I abdicate."

Qingmo smiled with satisfaction, bowed respectfully, and spoke in a tone that was respectful yet piercingly scathing:

"Your Majesty, I thank you for granting my request."

Three days later, the Empress's abdication edict was issued to the world, and Qingmo ascended the throne as Empress, changing the era name to "Yongning".

The once powerful empress was confined to the inner palace, with no hope of ever rising again.

From this point on, the Great Chu Dynasty completely changed hands.

Qingmo didn't care about the world's opinion that she hadn't gotten her position rightfully.

Who in the world dares to speak recklessly about "killing"?

She was never a wise monarch.

So what if the world says she's unfilial?

The Empress did indeed favor her, the Crown Princess, the most, but so what?!

Her doting affection could not make her incompetent; otherwise, the original owner of this body in her previous life would not have been deposed.

She loved Chu Zhaoning the most, but she also had many other children, and her place was not necessarily Chu Zhaoning's.

The first thing Qingmo did after taking power was to massacre the Grand Tutor's mansion and exterminate her entire family.

That bastard dares to support Chu Jiaojiao to rise to power; he's really giving her too much credit.

And the imperial consort in the palace—Chu Jiaojiao's father.

He was hanged in the cold palace with a white silk ribbon, and the power of his maternal family was completely eradicated.

When the current empress learned that her most beloved imperial consort had died, she was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed Qingmo as a dog.

Qingmo waved her hand, saying it was alright. After all, they were mother and daughter, and she wouldn't hold it against her.

Turning her head, she ordered all the husbands in the Empress's harem to be killed.

Only her father remained as a Japanese officer.

Hmm—I think it should be "Taijun" (太君), but I don't know what to call the male empress dowager!

Empress:......

Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter indeed.

She's killed everyone, so who will take care of this lonely old woman now?

The father, who had already become a Japanese general, said that he was no longer going to serve her. His daughter was now an empress, so why should he serve her? Why couldn't he just enjoy his life?

Qingmo did not kill Lü Jinghuai and Chu Jiaojiao.

They were simply imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, and they would never be able to leave for the rest of their lives.

Death would be too good for them.

The point is to make them live in misery their whole lives, accompanying each other and hating each other.

In the dark and gloomy Imperial Clan Court, apart from a prison cell, they only had each other. Wasn't that good enough?

Hehehe! Now that she's in power, she's dumped all the affairs of state on Jue Er and started indulging in pleasure.

"Election, general election, I want to expand my harem."

"Give births, all you men should give births for me, I want many daughters and much happiness."

She doesn't like having children, but she enjoys watching others have them.

Especially in matriarchal societies where women are conceived by men, what is she afraid of? As long as she survives, she can give birth to as many children as possible.

After all, I really do have a throne to inherit—

"Ding, congratulations on your peaceful death, host. We will take you away from this world immediately."

"Ding, area score settled: 1000, balance..."

Cultivation is in the early stages of human cultivation.

"Xiao Wu, let's start the next task."
