2. "Mm. She's a real beauty... With that exotic vibe..."
3. "A flavor I've never tasted before."
4. "So it's you, you villain! Do you have any idea who's backing us? If you cross us, we'll make sure you-"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Yeah, yeah. I know you're from the northern border, and you've got the king of zhenbei behind you."
2. "You know that, and you still dare-"
3. "Why wouldn't I? Everyone serves their own master. I'm loyal to the empress, I purge traitors, and I'm even showing mercy by sparing your life."
4. "Besides, if you're "Moved" enough to willingly throw yourselves at me for a night of fun, it's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh~"
1. "Guards!"
2. "Y-you..."
3. "You're shameless! I thought you were some legendary hero-"
4. "Turns out you're nothing but a total lecher!"
6. "You-"
1. "Ahhhhh hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhh hhhhh—burn my broken body, blazing holy fire; like morning dew, the bitter days are many..."
2. "Miss tower master, you wouldn't want you and your subordinates to be treated like that, would you?"
3. "Oh, right—I just remembered. You might not care if they live or die, but..."
4. "They're from the northern border just like you, with very distinct features. If you're humiliated in front of"
1. "Humiliated in front of everyone, the northern border's pride will be utterly shredded~"
2. "N-no... Don't!"
4. "Northern border warriors don't fear death, but we will never be humiliated! You can kill us, but you cannot stain our souls!"
5. "Relax. I'm not interested in your mission for now, but I do need to know your real identity-because I want to work with you."
1. "Work with me?!"
2. "That's right. Why do you think I've protected the throne time and time again? For glory and riches, of course!"
3. "But in court, han xiao's family dominates everything. As a jinwu guard commander, how would I ever get ahead?"
4. "I want you to cooperate with me to deal with chancellor han, because so far, han xiao hasn't cared one bit whether you live or die..."
5. "Unlike me. I never once thought about handing you over to the empress to claim credit. That's sincerity~"
6. "Th-this... Once it's done, you'll really let us go back to the northern border?"
7. "Of course-as long as you follow my plan~"
1. "My name is... Manshu ling."
3. "Lord han, you're early. The chaos with the assassins has already been dealt with."
1. "Coming here now to "Serve the country and protect the ruler" is a bit late, don't you think?"
2. "His majesty granted me the di huang token... And ordered me to guard the sleeping quarters. Without an edict, no one enters."
3. "Violators will be executed on the spot!"
1. "The di huang token?!"
2. Zhao qiushui han's opponent face-to-face
3. Gu ning has the di huang token and I don't? Hmph. The empress must have already died in the assassination.
5. "Three thousand imperial guards detaining her majesty, are you trying to start a rebellion? Si yun, move aside at once. We want to see her majesty."
6. "This is no small matter. If anything happens to his majesty, you'll be branded an eternal sinner of da feng, won't you?"
1. "Anyone who crosses the line will be beheaded!"
2. "To all high ministers! Her majesty may be in danger. I have already issued a secret "Protect the throne" order."
3. "Follow me into the palace to see her majesty. If the empress has been harmed, we swear we shall not live under the same sky as the traitors!"
4. "The imperial carriage!"
1. "The empress is returning to the palace!!!"
3. "Your majesty!"
4. "It really is her majesty!"
1. "His majesty has arrived. How dare you high ministers not kneel?"
2. "This subject, han xiao..."
3. "We, your subjects, welcome the return of the sacred carriage! Long live the empress!"
2. "Rise, my beloved vassals!"
3. "I traveled in disguise this time to observe the people's conditions. Together with minister gu, I wiped out an evil sect and rebellious traitors-it was quite productive."
1. "I am comforted to see you all here to receive me. When we are in court, we will discuss state affairs in detail. You've all worked hard and if there is nothing else, you may withdraw."
1. She looks like a completely different person from last night...
3. So this is that "My daughter has finally grown up" sense of pride the books talk about!
4. Turning back to wink out of nowhere is totally unfair...
5. "We take our leave! Long live the empress, long live, long live!"
1. "This outfit is probably what I'm supposed to wear at times like this... I wonder what ningning thinks of me?"
1. "I-I'm not sweating because I like it. It's just that the ministers forcing their way in was really scary, so I got a little nervous, that's all..."
2. "Your majesty is right!"
4. "But thankfully I have ningning. With you by my side, I'm not nervous anymore."
1. "Ningning, how did I do just now?"
2. "How would your majesty like this humble subject to reward you?"
3. If I get a perfect score, I can ask for a reward again!
4. "On a scale of one to ten, I'll give you a nine. The last point is withheld, so you don't get cocky."
5. "Hmph. I thought you were going to give me ninety thousand."
6. "Uh... Giving a score that ridiculous wouldn't really mean anything, would it?"
1. "Oh right-your majesty, did you notice that camel caravan we ran into on the road?"
2. "Camel caravan?"
3. "Oh! I remember now, the one with the jingling camel bells. I even said it sounded nice."
4. "By the way, they didn't look like they were from da feng. They looked like they were from the northern desert. And the leader was holding a northern desert envoy staff."
5. "I remember when da feng swept the six kingdoms, the northern desert also had a strong military. Even with their internal power struggles, they still harassed our borders constantly."
7. "Since my father couldn't establish mutual trade, he appointed general lu jiantang as king of zhenbei, and forced the border into submission through sheer military might."
1. "Now... I'm afraid they haven't come with good intentions."
2. I'll need to investigate this northern desert envoy matter further. I'm sure I can pry something out of that huoyu tower master. But right now, there's something even more urgent-
3. "To ensure fairness and thoroughly wipe out the corruption and cliques in court, I request to serve as the chief examiner for the autumn exam!"
4. "B-but ningning, you..."
5. "You never studied as a kid. You can't even read! Everyone in court knows about that!"
6. "What?!?!"
