After some investigation, she learned that the wealthy young lady was the daughter of the Yi Family. This time, she had come to Flower City specifically to pray at Jinshan Temple.
Upon discovering that someone looked exactly like her, it felt as if a thorn had grown in her heart. Thinking about being an orphan, she couldn't help but speculate about her connection to the wealthy young lady.
Subsequently, she kept asking around, inquiring about what had happened in Yi Family over the past twenty years, especially regarding the circumstances surrounding the wealthy young lady's birth.
Eventually, she found out that she was indeed a member of the Yi Family and was actually the twin sister of that Rich Girl.
Thus, feeling that life was unfair, when she saw the stark contrast between her life and that of her Twin Sister, her resentment erupted instantly.
At that time, it happened to be the day her Twin Sister was summoned to the palace as a consort. She quietly infiltrated Yi Family and, on the night before her Twin Sister's entry into the palace, she drugged her Twin Sister and took her out of Yi Family.
After bringing her Twin Sister out, she placed her in a cave that she had prepared in advance.
The cave was located in a gorge, very secluded and unknown to outsiders. Even she had only discovered it while chasing a rabbit down the mountain previously.
Inside the cave, there were stone beds, stone tables, stone stools, and some moldy dry rations. Seeing those items made her realize that someone must have lived there before.
Once inside the cave, she tied up her Twin Sister with ropes. Then, she placed an antidote for Sedative Powder near her Twin Sister's nose.
After a while, the bound person woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw someone who looked exactly like herself standing before her.
Instantly, she screamed in shock. But before she could calm down, she realized she was in a cave and completely bound by ropes.
Seeing her Twin Sister's terrified expression brought her great satisfaction. She then recounted her own experiences to her Twin Sister and expressed her desire for revenge, stating that she would reclaim everything that belonged to her.
Although her Twin Sister was utterly astonished upon hearing this, their sister felt even more heartbroken for her Twin Sister. She repeatedly begged for forgiveness and urged her to return to Yi Family together.
However, at that moment, she was already controlled by her desire for revenge and could not hear her sister's words at all.
She coldly interrupted her so-called Twin Sister, saying, "I will never forgive you. I will take back everything that originally belonged to me. I want you to watch as I steal your husband and occupy your position as the queen mother. Not only that, but I also want revenge; I will destroy Yifu."
Listening to the mad words of her so-called Twin Sister in front of her, she couldn't help but feel frightened. But before she could regain her composure, her Twin Sister suddenly flashed in front of her, forcefully stuffing several black pills into her mouth and making her swallow them.
After a while, she began to convulse and foam at the mouth.
Seeing her Twin Sister like this, she felt puzzled. Although she had taken several different poisons, none were lethal; there was no reason for anyone to die!
She checked her pulse and listened to her heartbeat for a moment before realizing that her Twin Sister was not dead but had entered a state of drug-induced slumber.
Those black pills were concocted by herself; they could keep a person well-fed for a month while remaining in a deep sleep.
After a cold smile, she quickly left the cave and quietly returned to her Twin Sister's bedroom, changed into her sister's clothes, and went to bed.
No one in Yifu knew of her existence, and what happened that night was known only to the two of them.
On the night of the wedding, she used the opportunity to drug Emperor Dongfang Hao's father, thus deceiving everyone and claiming the child in her womb as Dragon Seed.
Subsequently, relying on her exceptional skills, she gradually established her own power within the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace and ultimately destroyed Yifu completely.
Every month during those few days, she would find an excuse to leave the palace and secretly go to that cave to show off her achievements to her Twin Sister while feeding her more drugs to keep her in a deep sleep.
However, one day ten years ago, when she went to the cave, she could not wake up her Twin Sister no matter what. Yet, her sister's heart was still gently beating; even the pulse had not disappeared.
The heartbeat and pulse told her that her Twin Sister was not dead; she was simply still asleep and had not awakened.
After her long-term research, she still could not find the reason for her sister's drug-induced coma. In the end, she speculated that it was due to her sister's long-term poisoning, which led to the persistent sleep.
From that moment on, she no longer needed to leave the palace every month to administer poison, and she did not frequently leave the palace anymore.
Because aside from her Twin Sister, no one knew of her existence, and she was very careful in her actions, until now, apart from her Twin Sister, no one knew that she was not the real Empress Dowager.
Luo Bingbing looked at the Mad Empress in the distance and couldn't help but think, "This old hag is pitiful, yet too cruel. It seems she is indeed not an ordinary person!"
"Come here." As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, several loud male voices echoed behind her.
They respectfully addressed the Little One, saying, "We pay our respects to Your Highness. What orders do you have for us?"
"Keep Yichan Palace secure. Without my Imperial Edict, no one is allowed to enter or exit Yichan Palace. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we obey your command."
Afterward, Luo Bingbing left Yichan Palace with the Nursemaid and returned to Dragon Blossom Palace. After helping Luo Bingbing tuck in her blankets, the Nursemaid returned to her own room.
Once the Nursemaid left, Luo Bingbing immediately got out of bed. After changing her clothes, she used the route she had just gleaned from the Empress Dowager's mind and the location of that cave to teleport directly to the cave.
Upon arriving at the cave, Luo Bingbing saw a middle-aged woman lying on a stone bed who looked exactly like the Mad Empress.
For some reason, as soon as Luo Bingbing saw that middle-aged woman, she felt a warmth in her heart. After taking a few steps forward, she suddenly felt a voice deep within her calling her to approach the middle-aged woman on the stone bed.
Luo Bingbing slowly walked to the side of the stone bed. For some reason, while she felt disgusted by the Mad Empress's identical face, she felt warmth and happiness looking at this middle-aged woman.
With countless questions in her heart, she began to carefully observe the middle-aged woman.
But as she looked on, she inexplicably reached out and took the hand of the middle-aged woman, checking her pulse. After finishing, she concluded that the woman had been in a deep sleep due to a severe accumulation of toxins in her body.
She quickly tossed aside the lifeless hand, but as soon as she did, an uncomfortable feeling settled in her heart.
With her keen mind, she immediately sensed that there was something wrong with the middle-aged woman before her.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, she used her Ability to cut through the ropes binding the woman. Then, she quickly entered the woman's mind to explore.
However, she found it very strange that she could detect nothing in the woman's mind; it felt hazy inside, as if shrouded in mist.
When she attempted to disperse the mist, a strange force suddenly emerged from within the middle-aged woman, instantly forcing her Ability out.
Feeling her Ability being expelled by this peculiar force, Luo Bingbing tried again to probe into the woman's mind.
But this time, her Ability couldn't even approach; there seemed to be a powerful force blocking her intrusion.
Luo Bingbing was taken aback. She had never encountered such a situation before.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Something's wrong. What on earth is inside this person's body? It actually drove my Ability out."
After retracting her Ability, she checked the woman's pulse again and concluded that the middle-aged woman was still in a state of deep sleep.
Realizing that this middle-aged woman was unusual, Luo Bingbing naturally wouldn't leave her there.
She then helped the woman up and used her Ability to transport her to a villa outside Silver City.
This villa was a stronghold under the Tiger Legion, and its head was one of Luo Bingbing's trainers during her training; he was specifically responsible for matters in Silver City.
Luo Bingbing not only brought the middle-aged woman to the villa but also directly placed her in the room next to her own.
After laying the middle-aged woman on the bed, Luo Bingbing attempted once again to invade her mind with her Ability, but was still met with resistance.
Seeing that it was still ineffective, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think, "It seems I can only slowly detoxify you and wake you up to resolve my doubts."
She then called for the person in charge of the villa to her courtyard, instructing him to take good care of the middle-aged woman and prepare many herbs for her detoxification. After that, she left the villa and used her Ability to teleport back to her palace.
When the first rays of sunlight illuminated the earth in the morning, Luo Bingbing was already in court with the ministers.
However, since the Golden Throne Hall had been destroyed, they were now holding court in the Imperial Garden. It goes without saying that this location was chosen by that Little One.
Although many ministers felt it was inappropriate to hold an early court session in the Imperial Garden, they dared not speak up under Luo Bingbing's cold gaze.
As soon as they were caught in that Little One's eyes, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar; her cold and sharp gaze pierced through their hearts like a Sharp Sword.
After sweeping her gaze over all the ministers, that Little One slowly spoke: "Yesterday, you all saw Prince Yu Dongfang Yu dressed in that bright yellow Dragon Robe. I also summoned many people from this palace overnight. After thorough verification, it has been confirmed that Dongfang Yu indeed harbored treasonous intentions and sought to usurp power. Therefore, according to the Ancestral Law of my Silver Moon Kingdom, I ordered his heart and eyes to be extracted. However, to alleviate your concerns, I have specially invited those witnesses here to share what they saw and knew."
After speaking, Luo Bingbing commanded that those knowledgeable individuals be brought in. She specifically summoned people close to Dongfang Yu; however, some appeared to be his followers while secretly being hers.
Once everyone entered, Luo Bingbing addressed them: "Repeat what you said last night. You should know that some ministers are still quite doubtful!"
Clearly a show of strength, upon hearing this, the ministers began to sweat profusely.
Seeing this reaction, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smirk slightly. After all the so-called witnesses finished speaking one by one, she turned to the ministers and asked, "So? Do you need me to further dispel your doubts?"
Upon hearing the Little One's words, the ministers quickly knelt down and said, "We are truly guilty beyond redemption; we ask for the Empress's forgiveness."
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Luo Bingbing calmly said, "Get up."
At this moment, several ministers exchanged glances, and finally, an older minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a question that has been troubling me. May I ask for your clarification?"
"Oh, please go ahead."
"I have heard that Your Majesty placed the Empress Dowager under house arrest last night. Is this true?"
"The news travels fast! It is indeed the case."
The ministers were taken aback by this revelation, but before they could calm their hearts, the Little One continued, "The Empress Dowager fell into madness yesterday, so I had no choice but to confine her."
As soon as the Little One finished speaking, the ministers displayed expressions of utter astonishment once again.
However, Luo Bingbing paid no attention to their expressions and coldly stated, "This palace needs to be rebuilt. Last night, I drew up some design plans. The Ministry of Revenue should quickly calculate how much silver needs to be drawn from the treasury. If it is insufficient, inform my Nursemaid; she will report back to me."
Just as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, a sound of urgent reports from eight hundred miles away echoed in the distance. Soon after, Mo Xuan appeared before everyone with Dongfang Hao's Imperial Edict in hand.
