The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

Although Sheng Junwei's words contained helplessness, they revealed a sense of justice and determination that could not be ignored.

The emperor almost laughed out loud, and shook his head helplessly: "Sheng Qing, you are really good at talking."

After saying that, he took out a token from his arms and threw it to Sheng Junwei reluctantly.

The token flashed a golden light in the air, and engraved on it were four large, glittering characters - As if I were here in person.

"Holding this token, it is as if I am present in person. If you encounter obstacles in the future, showing this token will represent my willingness to personally intervene in the matter."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly became stern, warning: "But you must remember, if I find out that you use this token to do something unjust, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Sheng Junwei tightly grasped the token in her hand, her eyes flickering.

She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will never let you down, and I will never do anything to damage your Majesty's great reputation!"

The emperor waved his hand gently, "Okay, you can leave for now. Everyone will deliver all the arrangements to your residence."

Sheng Junwei heard this and smiled confidently and modestly. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Junwei will remember it in her heart."

Princess Changle witnessed this scene nearby, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes full of confusion: "Mother, I am getting more and more confused. How could father hand over the token to her so easily? She clearly refused the position of Imperial Master, but why did she want this token?"

After saying this, the princess's expression turned indignant. "I always thought she was an extraordinary person with no desires or requests. I didn't expect her to be such a hypocritical and greedy woman!"

Upon hearing this, the Queen's expression changed slightly, her brows knitted, and she gently reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense. Your father naturally has his reasons and considerations for his actions."

Although she said this, the queen's heart was also in turmoil, and she felt a little uneasy and suspicious about Sheng Junwei's actions.

In front of the emperor, she was always cautious, fearing that her daughter would say or do something inappropriate, so she would quickly interrupt with a soft voice, trying to calm things down.

As for Princess Changle's thoughts, Sheng Junwei didn't take them to heart at all.

At this moment, she tightly grasped the gold medal that symbolized power and trust, knowing in her heart that every step she took in this trip to the palace was crucial.

What she was seeking was not only her own personal honor and disgrace, but also the use of the emperor's power to enable Sheng Qi Charity to win a seat in the court, to make Si Qi's prophecy come true, and to ensure that Sheng Qi Charity would remain standing when unknown storms came.

Si Qi had predicted long ago that the growth of Sheng Qi Charity would attract the covetousness of all parties and the road ahead would be full of thorns.

And when it is impossible to do it personally, winning over the emperor to support you is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

In this way, good deeds can be spread widely, reputation can be preserved, and the emperor can gain the reputation of a wise monarch, killing two birds with one stone.

Just as Sheng Junwei was thinking in her mind, her steps suddenly stopped, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she stared directly at the person who was blocking the road in front of her.

He was a man with a charming figure, his movements were even more gentle than those of a woman, and he approached slowly, swaying with every step.

Sheng Junwei was suspicious and her eyes were full of question marks.

The charming man sensed her doubt, but instead of avoiding her, he threw a meaningful glance at Sheng Junwei even more brazenly, and his pace quickened. At the same time, a strong smell mixed with spices and unknown herbs suddenly filled the air as he approached, almost suffocating Sheng Junwei.

Even though Sheng Junwei always has a shield to protect against external physical attacks, she is still defenseless against this pervasive smell.

Faced with this sudden situation, Sheng Junwei did not panic. With her sharp reaction, she easily jumped several feet to the side the moment the man approached her, skillfully avoiding his approach: "May I ask your name? Why are you blocking my way?"

The charming man was surprised when he saw that his first attack failed. He immediately gave her a more seductive look and said with a playful tone, "Oh, you look so skilled, how come you can't even guess my identity?"

Sheng Junwei's forehead was faintly throbbing with blue veins, and her voice was calm and full of majesty that should not be underestimated: "I have always only paid attention to people who are worth my time and energy. As for those who are irrelevant, I will not accompany them."

These words were like cold water poured over one's head, causing the charming man's face to instantly turn gloomy.

He suddenly shouted, his eyes flashing with an untouchable edge: "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you have evil thoughts towards me!"

Sheng Junwei was stunned when she saw this, and then she followed the man's gaze and saw Princess Changle running towards them angrily.

The charming man put away the playful smile on his face. In the blink of an eye, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked extremely respectful, quickened his pace, and walked straight towards Princess Changle.

As soon as he arrived in front of the princess, he pointed his slender fingers at Sheng Junwei, almost trembling, "Your Highness, look, this lady, she, she actually tried to seduce me!"

When Sheng Junwei heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her brows. She seemed to find this accusation unbelievable and was speechless for a moment.

Princess Changle saw this scene from afar, alarm bells rang in her heart, and she immediately quickened her pace to get closer.

Before she could get close, the furious accusation reached her ears.

After approaching, the princess frowned and her eyes moved back and forth between the two people, obviously surprised by this abrupt scene.

Princess Changle, who had always been prejudiced against Sheng Junwei, was furious at this moment, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire: "Sheng Junwei, you are so courageous! You even dare to provoke the people around me!"

Sheng Junwei responded calmly, "Princess, you saw everything with your own eyes. You should make your own judgment as to whether I really did anything offensive. To be more precise, the facts are not as he said. He took the initiative to approach me, and I did not do it intentionally."

Faced with Sheng Junwei's explanation, Princess Changle's expression became complicated. She nodded slightly, as if re-examining the whole incident in her mind.

Indeed, the situation was just as Sheng Junwei said, her lover was too excited and forgot the most basic facts.

The princess's eyes gradually regained their former sharpness. She narrowed her eyes and looked at her lover warily. She asked threateningly, "Do you dare to deceive me? Or do you have any inappropriate thoughts about her?"

The charming man was immediately panicked, his face turned pale, and he kept saying in defense: "Princess, I have no such intention! I was just impulsive and couldn't stand her disrespect to you, Princess..."

The princess raised her eyebrows, obviously quite interested in this statement: "Impulsive? What caused it?"

The man raised his head suddenly and looked directly at Sheng Junwei. "I heard that the young lady of the Pei family humiliated the princess in public today, and I was filled with indignation. I saw her coming from a distance just now, and I was impulsive and wanted to vent my anger for the princess."
