Chapter 1038

Therefore, McKenzie felt sympathetic.

However, she also knew that the woman in front of her would affect the life and death of Jefferson, so she dared not release her.

At the same time, she could not keep letting the empress’ younger sister refuse to eat so that was why she thought of this idea as a compromise.

By changing her face, McKenzie could make the empress’ younger sister laugh a little to feel happier.

When she became happier, her mood would become better. When the mood became better, maybe she would want to eat something.

Since McKenzie did not have human’s typical emotions, her thoughts were also much simpler.

Although she stayed here for a long time, she could slowly understand human’s relationships.

However, she still could not understand it entirely.

When McKenzie first tried changing her face, the empress’ younger sister was surprised like Jefferson as though she had seen a monster.

Later, when she had changed back to the rosy and innocent small face, the empress’ younger sister liked it and felt relieved.

Additionally, after being locked up here for an extended time, the empress’ younger sister only met Jefferson once in the early days whereas the rest of the days, she had only seen this lady in front of her.

After all, the empress’ younger sister was not someone from the royal court. Even after she had found out about her identity, she would want to return to the palace and avenge her sister’s death.

However, the empress’ younger sister was left among the commoners since she was young, so she did not have deep thoughts toward the deceptions in the royal court.

Therefore, very quickly, the empress’ younger sister fell for this young lady who kept trying to make her happy every day.

McKenzie liked her very much too. Although she could not understand anything that had happened in the royal court nor was familiar with the reason why Jefferson had to lock her up and not let her go, she felt that this lady in front of her was not a bad person. McKenzie disliked bad people and liked good people, so she too, liked the empress’ younger sister.

That was the reason why McKenzie was willing to try to make the empress’ younger sister feel happy every day.

Jefferson did not blame McKenzie nor said anything. He just remained silent for a moment and got her to take a rest.

Although McKenzie felt surprised, she did not think any further. After she returned to her room, she fell asleep.

That night, the courtyard where the empress’ sister was locked up suddenly caught fire. The fire did not only burnt down the entire courtyard but it also burnt the empress’ younger sister into ashes.

McKenzie woke up in shock in the middle of the night. What she saw was the aftermath of the fire. She immediately broke down when she saw the ashes of the empress’ younger sister.

She did not dare to believe and did not want to believe that the person who was happily alive and laughed with her a second ago, suddenly died.

McKenzie did not stop asking Jefferson about what had happened and why she would die.

Jefferson only said one sentence lightly. He could not have thought as well but during that night, no one was present and only the empress’ younger sister was alone in the room. There were no other people who knew she was locked up here so there was only one reason - she had killed herself.

She realized there was no hope for escape, so she had kicked the oil lamp and killed herself.

McKenzie could not say how she was feeling. Although she was feeling sad and there was an odd feeling, she still accepted his words.

After all, she still could not understand what tricks and schemes were.

Not long after, Jefferson came up with an idea that made her surprised and furious.

He suggested McKenzie to disguise as the empress’ younger sister to take over the throne.

The previous empress was a smart person. Her influence in the royal court was already weak, so she never had thought that she could hide the fact from Jefferson that she had a younger sister and decided to bring her back to succeed the throne.

Therefore, before the empress died, she had already planned the path for her younger sister and herself.

Hence, even though the other courtiers had not met the future empress, they already knew how she looked like.

This was to avoid a situation where Jefferson would catch the sister and get someone else to disguise as her younger sister by replacing her.

After all, if Jefferson got a replacement, the courtiers would be able to recognize that the person did not look the same as the portrait at all.

Jefferson would not be able to get himself out of the situation.

Even though Jefferson had strong influence and power, it would not be enough to stop the people from gossiping. In the end, she would have needed to be released and let the younger sister go.

However, no matter how much the empress could plan, she would not have figured out that a person like McKenzie existed.

A shapeshifter who could change its looks to anyone in this world depending on the mood. This was something scary.

Not only the empress would not have figured it out but nobody could too.

Even Jefferson would not have thought about this previously.

As he thought about this, Jefferson took this idea and suggested it to McKenzie.

Initially, McKenzie had rejected it. She was furious and very angry.

This was because no matter how innocent, clueless, and ignorant she could be, her subconscious knew that whatever Jefferson had suggested was not something good.

This was something so wrong that she should not do it.

However, what was Jefferson?

He was an important minister of the royal court who was good at tricks and schemes. He was the Grand Chancellor of the country.

It did not matter to him at all as McKenzie was narrow-minded.

Soon, he had convinced McKenzie. If McKenzie did not want to help him, then everything that he had done previously would be exposed and he would die. Would McKenzie be willing to watch him die?

After all, now that the empress and the empress’ younger sister were dead, the monarch and country would be in chaos. If the country became chaotic, the citizens would descend into ruins and disaster.

McKenzie felt guilty toward the empress’ younger sister because she did not take care of her properly. Maybe that was why she had killed herself.

McKenzie should then be brave enough to step forward on behalf of the empress’ younger sister to take on the responsibilities the empress’ younger sister should have carried.

Only with McKenzie stepping forward would help the citizens from disaster and help the empress’ younger sister.

However, she was too innocent. Even though her instincts felt wrong, she could not say anything and agreed to the plan in the end.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 1037 Fighting Openly And Secretly Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 The rest of the courtiers finally felt relieved and kneeled in the royal court calling out “long live the empress”.

From then on, McKenzie had become the empress above everyone.

As for Jefferson, he was standing at the bottom looking at her with his lips curved upward.
