I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Ermedilin thought she needed to personally witness Valière’s words and actions with her own eyes.
Before, she had only wanted to escape this imperial palace as soon as possible, but now she found herself hoping that even if a new empress succeeded her, the people would remain safe and at peace.
‘If she acts selfishly and foolishly again, I’ll have to reconsider handing over the empress’s seat.’
Upon arriving at Henri’s reception room, she saw Duke Ilenian and Marquis Bianst seated with their daughters, Beleste and Liena, their faces composed and dignified.
And right before them, Valière stood with her head bowed, forcing tears to her eyes.
“I’ve had many worries lately and wasn’t quite myself. I must have momentarily lost my senses. I’m truly sorry.”
Ermedilin had worried Valière might leave with arrogance, but she was apologizing more politely than expected.
At that very moment, Ermedilin’s eyes met Beleste’s.
Beleste barely acknowledged Valière’s apology, and as soon as she saw Ermedilin, she rose from her seat and bowed respectfully.
Ermedilin responded to her greeting with a cold smile.
These were the family of Biela, who had tried to kill her by using a young boy. There was no need to be kind to the people of House Ilenian.
‘No matter how much I’ve decided to let it go, some things simply can’t be overlooked.’
Yet Beleste, unperturbed by Ermedilin’s somewhat chilly response, walked past Valière—who was still bowing—and approached Ermedilin.
“Your Imperial Majesty, I’ve only recently returned to Trivian, so I haven’t had the chance to meet you privately until now.”
‘Could it be we know each other? If she’s from House Ilenian, we certainly weren’t on good terms.’
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
Wait what the hell. I lowkey hate henri but i feel bad for her to have to suffer with a loser like him omgn
