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 225: Humiliating the Empress Dowager

The next day, Andu County was engulfed in a dense fog, blanketing the entire city and rendering people indistinguishable from livestock within a distance of three Zhang.

Because of this, the time for the envoy's departure was postponed by an hour.

Puyang Yi, staying at the posthouse, did not sleep well and intended to return to her warm bed for a bit more rest, but she was roused from sleep.

"The Empress Dowager summons the Lord of Pingyuan County," she was told.

Puyang Yi had been pointedly chosen to accompany the Empress Dowager on her travels.

Firstly, because she had been to Andu County before, and secondly, the Great Princess believed that having a female family member by the Empress Dowager's side would make things more convenient.

Traveling from the posthouse to the Empress Dowager's separate residence, Puyang Yi felt cold enough to huff breaths of air.

Only after entering the house did she begin to feel warm.
