The Empress Dowager was surrounded by the Emperor's men, and naturally, they didn't hold back when it was time to act, since there was no need to curry favor with Wang Yingluo, knowing well that the Emperor had no place for Wang Yingluo in his heart.
The Empress Dowager had only ordered a slap, not specifying the number, and with a series of crisp sounds, she struck over a dozen times until Wang Yingluo's face swelled up.
Wang Yingluo's face was full of resentment, furiously accusing the Empress Dowager of ignorance and folly.
The Empress Dowager had intended to order them to stop, but upon hearing this, her face darkened, and she ordered the continuation of the beating until Wang Yingluo's face resembled a pig's head.
Wang Yingluo cried out to see the Emperor.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Just then, the eunuch's piercing announcement sounded like heavenly music to Wang Yingluo's ears.
