Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Correct!

Luo Xiaoran just wanted to compare Chen Lingyi and Emperor Tianqi, and where there is comparison there is harm.

As to whether it would hurt Chen Lingyi's heart, which felt that her rights were not as high as her brother's, or hurt the harmony between the siblings, Luo Xiaoran had no interest in guessing.

Chen Lingyi's face turned red with anger. She would never bow to the lowly Luo Xiaoran, never!

But the next moment, she heard an unexpected order:

"Royal sister, when we were young, the royal uncle took good care of us. How can you neglect his wife? Why don't you pay your respects to the royal aunt?"

That’s right, Emperor Tianqi spoke to Chen Lingyi in a very obvious tone, like a superior giving orders to an inferior.

Chen Lingyi looked at Emperor Tianqi in disbelief, her eyes red. If Luo Xiaoran hadn't been here, she would have wanted to roar and question, "You actually helped her?"

But in the end, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.

"Hmm?" Emperor Tianqi ignored the resistance in Chen Lingyi's eyes and continued to exert pressure.

"Why don't you just forget it! I've heard about Princess Qingyi's temper. Just think of what she said just now as a joke!" Luo Xiaoran added fuel to the fire.

Emperor Tianqi's face darkened, and his tone became more solemn: "This is my oral order!"

Chen Lingyi was finally defeated. Who can defy the imperial power?

She walked up to Luo Xiaoran with an extremely humiliated expression, crossed her hands on her left waist, bent her knees slightly, and bowed her head to Luo Xiaoran.

Luo Xiaoran didn't say anything and ignored her because it was Chen Lingyi's turn to speak first.

Seeing that Luo Xiaoran was reluctant to let her get up, Chen Lingyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She used up almost all her strength to make a normal sound.

"Qingyi pays respects to the Imperial Aunt."

Luo Xiaoran immediately smiled, revealing a row of big white teeth, and said decisively, "Qingyi is really sensible, stop bowing!"

Emperor Tianqi: “…” Can the emperor’s uncle really tolerate Luo Xiaoran’s temper?

Chen Lingyi: "..." I'm going to kill her! I must kill her!

……

After the verbal dispute, Luo Xiaoran said a few polite words to Emperor Tianqi, then patted his butt and left.

First leave the palace, then take a carriage out of the city, and finally head straight to the north. It's so cool~~

The brother and sister who stayed in the imperial study looked at each other in silence for a while.

Emperor Tianqi really didn't want to say anything to Chen Lingyi, and Chen Lingyi was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Ever since she was named Princess Qingyi, she has never suffered such a terrible insult!

Even though the Lin family looked down on her at that time, Chen Lingyi thought that she could gain power in return, so she was not very angry.

Chen Lingyi was waiting, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to say something to comfort her.

But Emperor Tianqi showed no intention of speaking, and even picked up the memorials to review them, as if he was treating her as a transparent person.

In response, Chen Lingyi sneered and couldn't help but clench her fists.

She did so much for Emperor Tianqi, and it can be said that she single-handedly helped him ascend the throne!

Eliminate dissidents for him and win over court officials for him!

It took a lot of effort to transform him from an unpopular prince in the cold palace into the emperor who holds real power today!

Now... is it going to be discarded?

Thinking of this, she could not care less about some things that could not be brought to the table.

"Your Majesty, the candles in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace that were dedicated to the portrait of Empress Dowager Xiaomu were poisoned by the Prince of Qi in an attempt to murder you, so Qingyi poisoned him for you."

Chen Lingyi's tone was extremely cold, and at this moment she looked like a poisonous snake that had been lurking in a dark cave for a long time, making people feel terrified.

"Qingyi wants the emperor to allow Qingyi to return to the capital and live there instead of going to the fiefdom because of this matter."

Emperor Tianqi asked back without even looking up, "Didn't my sister poison the King of Qi in order to prevent my uncle's wedding?"

Chen Lingyi was shocked. Even though she did have this in mind, her main concern was for Emperor Tianqi, to eliminate this long-standing threat for him.

But judging from the meaning of Emperor Tianqi's words, poisoning the King of Qi was entirely for her own selfish reasons, which made Chen Lingyi feel indescribable anger and heartbreak.

"So, in the emperor's mind, poisoning the Prince of Qi was Qingyi's own business, but she made up a pretext to take credit for it in front of the emperor?"

The face of Emperor Tianqi, which had been buried in the memorial, finally appeared. He put the memorial and the red pen away gently, and there was a coldness in his dark eyes that Chen Lingyi had never seen before.

"Royal sister, I told you three years ago that you should stop interfering in matters big or small in the court."

The look was so cold and intimidating, like two sharp arrows piercing Chen Lingyi's chest, causing her to step back and dodge involuntarily. Finally, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

The collapse of Shuchang Hall provided a legitimate reason for the expedition to Western Xinjiang. It not only cleaned up the Ministry of Works, transferred Huo Qingyun away from Kyoto, and handed the control of the Imperial Guard back to Emperor Tianqi, but also established unprecedented prestige for Emperor Tianqi after the victory of the war.

The imperial examination cheating case successfully allowed Emperor Tianqi to place his confidants in the Ministry of Rites. If Mo Qing had not intervened, the Yun family would not have gotten away with it so easily.

She also returned her 20,000 personal guards to the court, and took the opportunity to petition for the title of Li Cairen. She also did her best to calm the turmoil caused by Emperor Tianqi posthumously conferring the title of empress dowager on Li Cairen.

She had sent three great gifts to Emperor Tianqi before she even returned to Beijing, but in his eyes, it was just meddling in state affairs? !

Hahaha!

What a great Emperor Tianqi!

What a great Chen Xuanrui!

Chen Lingyi's eyes turned red, but she stubbornly refused to let a single tear flow out. Her tone became much higher:

"From childhood to adulthood, everything Qingyi has done for the emperor, could it be that in the emperor's eyes, it was all unnecessary? Is there an ulterior motive?"

Emperor Tianqi's eyes flashed, and he did not answer the question directly, but mentioned another matter.

"It's true that my sister did a lot for me, but it's also true that my sister poisoned me!"

Chen Lingyi was stunned again, a hint of panic appeared on her face, but it was quickly concealed.

She slowly stood up from the ground and shook her sleeves, still the graceful Princess Qingyi.

"Your Majesty should know that the poison will only weaken your body for a while, and will not actually harm the dragon's body."

Emperor Tianqi would not make a point without a purpose. If she tried to argue, it would only backfire. It would be better for her to admit it proactively and appear honest.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank my sister for the poison. If the two poisons had not neutralized each other in my body, the King of Qi would have gotten what he wanted by now."

"Royal sister, you saved my life by accident, which is why I am still willing to see you now."

Emperor Tianqi believed that he had shown special favor to Chen Lingyi because he had not received any punishment for poisoning the emperor. He even ignored the condescending tone in his voice.

And it was precisely because of his superiority that Chen Lingyi could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She looked him straight in the eyes and asked:

"So Qingyi is going to kneel down and thank the emperor for his kindness and for letting Chen Lingyi meet her brother Chen Xuanrui, right?"
