Chapter 31

Does She Have Any Weaknesses?

“Your Majesty, there’s no need for that. Since I promised the late Empress to teach you, naturally, I will teach you thoroughly,” Zhao Xian felt embarrassed. Did this girl really need to be so afraid of her? It seems she must have scared her a lot in the past.

Thinking about it, she squinted her eyes. Since ancient times, treacherous ministers either ended up being killed or killing the Empress.

So, was there another way to prevent the Empress from always being on guard against her, even thinking of ways to eliminate her?

The days ahead were still long, and she didn’t want to be eliminated by the young Empress one day just because she wasn’t careful enough, although so far the Empress didn’t yet have that capability.

But forget it; she’ll cross the bridge when she come to it.

With this in mind, Zhao Xian spoke in a solemn tone, “Your Majesty has grown up as well. In the future, you don’t need to send official documents to me anymore. Handle what you can handle yourself, and if you can’t handle it, then send it to me.”

Pausing for a moment, Zhao Xian continued, “Or have someone call me. Although I rarely check, there’s a saying that goes ‘a teacher leads the way, but it’s up to the individual to practice.’ Over the years, I’ve continuously tempered your will. Perhaps you harbor resentment towards me deep down, but I don’t care. You haven’t disappointed me, and that’s good. In the future, I will continue to teach you everything I can, and I hope you can truly become a wise ruler.”

Let’s hope for the best! Life is difficult for everyone, so don’t force yourself too much.

Although there was no change in the empress’s expression, she was shocked inside.

This was the first time she had heard this person say so much. Usually, this person would occasionally take time to teach her martial arts or reading.

She had thought this person was just going through the motions, so she had worked very hard. She never expected this person to say such things today.

Could she trust this person? However, whether she believed it or not was not important at the moment. What mattered most was for her to become capable.

So, whether this person was sincere or not, she has no power to fight against her for now.

“Teacher has put in a lot of effort, and the disciple feels very guilty, making the teacher labor for me,” the young Empress’s face showed a touched expression as she expressed her gratitude.

Alright, Zhao Xian couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes. This child changes her attitude so quickly, truly worthy of being an Empress. But what she thinks, Zhao Xian truly doesn’t care.

“Alright, since Your Majesty doesn’t have any urgent matters, I will take my leave. My husband at home is still waiting for me to return. I’ve been neglecting him due to my busy schedule with official matters, which I regret deeply.”

“Yes, please, Teacher.”

The young Empress personally escorted Zhao Xian to the door.

“Your Majesty, please take care!” Zhao Xian said as she turned to leave.

Looking at the opponent’s back, the young Empress murmured softly, “A person without weaknesses is truly difficult to manipulate. Zhao Xian, oh Zhao Xian, it would be so much better if you had a weakness.”

This person is always so cold and unfeeling, impenetrable. So she had tried to warm her up, but it didn’t seem to work.

But today, this person unexpectedly relinquished control and spoke so much. What is this person really planning?

“Your Majesty, there is no one in this world without weaknesses. What people fear most is emotions. And for a powerful woman, if she encounters them, then she is no longer powerful.”

Suddenly, the voice of a female official sounded in her ear, startling the young Empress.

“…” she sighed again, “Can someone truly open the heart of such a cold-hearted person?”

“That’s not necessarily true. According to what I know, I heard that Prime Minister bought clothes and food for her new husband yesterday. And didn’t you notice how happy Prime Minister was today?”
