Chapter 188: Emergency Court Session XI

Yang Lingxin let out a piercing scream as she fought against the female guards who had restrained her. "What are you doing? Let me go!" Her wrists ached from their tight grip, and her palms stung from slapping Bai Jiang across the face, but her fury was far from sated. 

She longed to inflict more harm on him, to teach him a lesson he'd never forget. But before she could act on her impulses, Zheng Liang ordered the guards to take her away and hold her in place. Yang Lingxin thrashed about, lashing out at the guards with punches and kicks, but it was futile. They held her firmly, their strength superior to hers.

As the ministers processed the shocking news that the Empress had conspired against the Emperor, their attention turned to Yang Lingxin's erratic behavior. At first, they had trouble believing that the demure Empress could be capable of such treachery. But her violent outburst and apparent victim mentality raised doubts about her true nature.
