Empress, Don't Be Afraid. What Evil Could I, a Treacherous Official, Possibly Do?

Jia Renyi transmigrates to an ancient world and becomes a treacherous minister with power over the whole court.

Jia Renyi: “Your Majesty, I was attacked again last night. I have no objection to using a beauty trap, but the assassins could stand to be better-looking.”

The Empress: “All right, I'll keep that in mind next time. Ah, no, I mean, who has the nerve to assassinate a pillar of our state? Rest assured, I'll investigate thoroughly.”

Jia Renyi: “Your Majesty, I found a blood letter at the palace gate. It says you want to summon the feudal lords to the capital to rescue the throne and purge the court?”

The Empress: “Nonsense. It's obviously a sock I accidentally stained with blood after stepping on a nail.”

Jia Renyi: “Your Majesty, why are you sending the late emperor's concubines to guard his mausoleum?”

The Empress: “You shameless sycophant, why don't you do something decent for once? If you've got the guts, come after me.”
