The Slender Waist

The day the city fell, Feng Yun was treated by her father as a spoil of war and presented to the enemy general. Everyone pitied her, soon to be a captive, plunging into a fiery pit. Yet she veiled the little donkey cart that took her out of the city tightly, daring not to let anyone see the secret delight in her heart… As a child, she behaved oddly and spoke startling words, once predicting a war in which the whole army was wiped out, nearly being burned to death by her clan as a demon. When she grew up, her beauty was out of the world, but she was rejected by her husband's family. In the period of chaos and disorder everywhewe, where could a female captive go? "I do not seek a devoted partner to grow old with; I merely wish to rule unrivaled in this life." In her previous life, Feng Yun was always the one being scorned by others; in this life, she decided to strike first, turning the tables on each and every one of them, those so-called unreachable flowers and beasts in gentleman's clothing, those degenerates… all to be scorned in return.

Chapter 56: A Tacit Slap in the Face

The Censorate Chancellor can even spew saliva with rage, berating every official in the imperial court. No wonder he is eloquent, but how could Wei Zheng, a military general, be his match?

Wei Zheng had no choice but to invoke the Empress Dowager.

"My lord, let's not forget the purpose of our mission," he said.

Ao Zheng snorted coldly, cupped his fists in salute, and looked upward, "This official is acting under imperial orders, with no need for General Wei's warning, and will surely not fail His Majesty's command."

Then, with a sidelong glance that suggested he couldn't care less, he added, "I would also advise General Wei to speak cautiously; if any more indecent words are uttered, this official might just have to report back to the court once more."

Wei Zheng wished he could draw his sword and slaughter the old rascal.

But before setting off, the Empress Dowager had specifically instructed him to act according to the situation and to avoid rashness.
