or sent over 10,000 Imperial Guards to guard the residence of the Crown Prince both inside and out; they couldn't get in at all.After the news that Mo Yunchen was returned to the former Crown Prince's...It seems that Mo Yunchen's reach extends far, as he has even brought Shangshu Jiang Rongwen of the Ministry of Rites under his command.

Having received the answer she desired, Zhi'er slowly withdrew her hand. No one knew what movements she made beneath her sleeve.

The Emperor, as if roused from a nap, suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhi'er, "My love, you disagree with what I have done"

Chi'er shook her head and smiled gently, "How could that be, Your Majesty. My concubine agrees with every decision you make and will always stand by your side."

Sure enough, when the emperor heard her say this, he laughed until his mouth nearly reached his ears.

He reached out and grasped Chi'er's hand, gently patting it. "As expected of my beloved concubine, you understand me best."

When the Emperor said these words, his eyes truly held a tender affection for Zhi'er.

This is the kind of deep affection that Zhi'er once envied but couldn't have.

Looking back now, she realizes how foolish she was back then. If only she had put the love potion on the emperor sooner, those years wouldn't have been so miserable pretending to be another woman.

In the end, they met such a fate.

Thinking of this, Chi'er lowered her head slightly, a hint of sarcasm playing on her lips.

As for the Emperor, he harbored no suspicion upon his sudden arrival. He merely inquired, "How stands affairs at the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Beijang Has the Princess Consort of Beijang appeared"

"!"

Upon hearing the Emperor ask again, a flicker of astonishment crossed the depths of the Imperial Guard's commander's eyes.

This just happened, why are you asking again

Though I was puzzled, I dared not speak. Instead, I quickly told him everything I knew.
