Xiao Lingyue had been empress dowager for fifteen years, devoting herself heart and soul to the realm.
She cleaned up the late emperor’s messes, secured the throne for the young emperor, and kept all those old foxes at court firmly in line.
Then the late emperor left behind a secret edict: the empress dowager was to be given poisoned wine.
She smiled and drank it in one gulp.
She had never lived a single day for herself.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year the late emperor had just died.
Memorials were piled high on her desk, ministers knelt outside begging her to attend to affairs of state, and the young emperor beside her was crying for his father.
Xiao Lingyue rolled over and pulled the covers over her head. “This palace has a headache. I’m seeing no one today.”
This time, she wanted nothing more than to be a lazy empress dowager.
Sleep until she woke naturally, play with the child until her hands gave out, and dump all state affairs on the regent prince.
Until one day, Regent Gu Yanci blocked her doorway.
“Your Majesty, this is the seventh time you’ve ‘casually’ helped me review the memorials.”
“...”
“Weren’t you supposed to be slacking off?”
Xiao Lingyue: “Mind your own business!”
Gu Yanci smiled at her, his eyes bright. “I will. For the rest of our lives.”
