"Did, you not here me. I have told you to KNEEL." Rachel stood up with the grace of the phoenix. "If you aren't going to kneel." Rachel grabbed a stick out of her long sleeve and hit his leg making him drop. The room was silent and dripping with sweat.
Rachel looked coldly at the young man before her, she noticed the familiar scent but ignored it.
Emperor Fu Tianxi, no Fu Tianxi, was about to get angry with her and start shouting about he's the Emperor and she is lucky she isn't being beheaded for this. When he was suddenly smacked him silly again.
"Fu Tianxi! Before our relationship was that of brother and sister, so as your older siblings. So, as your older siblings I conformed and allowed you to continuously disrespect me."
"You are supposed to-"
Smack.
"I did not allow you to speak" She mercilessly smacked him again, the man was still enraged he had never been treated likes. He was a winner at life and very deserving of it. "Fu Tianxi, did you forget I married Former Emperor Fu Wuying. But as you so kindly put it, I am your mother under the eyes of the law.
I as your mother have allowed you unfilial antics in your youth. I as you mother have never punished you for you unfilial acts."
"You blam-"
Smack, her gaze got darker and darker.
"I as your mother, am I the only one who is capable of punishing you. Did you forget proper manners when you walked into this mothers palace. Just is supposed to greet who." Her glared was being increasingly dangerous.
Emperor Fu Tianxi didn't even feel anger any more it was fear. In truth, Rachel wasn't wrong, he is supposed to get and treat the Empress Dowager as his mother. His mother had taught him to gain loyalty form the Empress Dowager who was the Empress at the time. And then when you get the chance slowly eliminate her general's residence.
Since he had fully believed he had gotten her trust, he felt like he could treat her any type of way because of this.
"You" Rachel looked at the servants kneeling with disdain "Can you not see I am discipling the Emperors. Bring ornament and an imperial physician. I need him to care for his majesty injuries." The servants got up and ran off quickly.
Rachel knows full well, that sibling relationship wasn't normal, and it was always one-sided giving and taking. Luckily, she had still had the token to make use of the general's soldiers. Her father's 'death' by her 'step-son' schemes and that was due to Cai Lingxin, naiveite.
Her power is stronger than that of the emperors, this did not sit well with the emperor and he tried multiple times to get the token from her.
Forgetting all that she turned back to the Emperor, "Tomorrow is a time of celebration, I cannot have your appearance be unsavory Fu Tianxi. Leave this Empress Dowager."
After a few moments the Emperor left dully his mind a mess. She had made everyone else leave and brought out, Ana, Lalya, Michelle, and Hel.
She waved her hand and quickly changed their outfits into one of her maidservant's outfits.
"I feel powerful bloodlust, master" Lalya said amused.
"ehh, curtsey of this body original owner. She spent most of her life never express her hatred. Its so pent up that if I don't release it even, I am in danger of being consumed by it."
"I see so, Atlas isn't here is because…" Hel smiled and chuckled.
Rachel only nodded her head. She looked down at her trembling hands, Cai Lingxin had always rejected her ruthlessness because or morals. It was an illusion, but Rachel saw blood dropping from her hands, like a waterfall.
She is similar to Claris but not as deadly.
She looked back at the girls who are waiting for orders excitedly, "Layla, Michelle, and Hel I want you to go and check on the nobles, on this list. I want all their crimes collected as well as evidence" Rachel pulled two scrolls and handed them over. "The use of your powers is allowed, as long as it is not seen. I need them all cleared before the beginning of Concubine Wei. Please use items that are of this era when you receive the evidence."
"10-4, Roger" they all disappeared with them.
"I hope that was enough information, Well, I will see the result when time comes." She then turned to Ana, she pulled another scroll with a few other things and a red beaded bracelet. "Take this to my father, I don't want him caught off guard."
