After a while, the door of the imperial study was opened again, and a guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

Ye Ze put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his brow and said, "Bring it in."

"Yes!" The guard turned around and went out, then quickly reopened the door and came back in, followed by Zhao Tao, who looked excited and timid.

Looking at the furnishings in the imperial study, Zhao Tao's eyes lit up. Is this where the emperor lives? She actually entered the palace! Is she dreaming? Zhao Tao thought happily.

"Hurry up and kneel down to pay respect to the emperor!" Fulu reminded her with a look of disgust. What an ignorant village woman who has never seen the world! Is the Imperial Study a place for you to visit?

Zhao Tao quickly retracted her gaze upon hearing this and prepared to kneel down to pay her respects. However, when her gaze turned to the person sitting behind the desk in front of her, Zhao Tao was stunned for a moment, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth came out without thinking, "Ye Ze? Why are you here?"

"How dare you! How dare you call the emperor by his name? Do you want to die?" Fulu immediately shouted in a shrill voice.

Zhao Tao was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, her eyes wide open. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head. She didn't want to lose her head. She hadn't lived enough!

It was only now that she realized the fact that Ye Ze was not a marquis, but the emperor!

Oh my god, what did she miss? Why did she think Shen Wenren was better than Ye Ze back then?

Shen Wenren wanted to divorce me just after he passed the imperial examination, but Ye Ze became the emperor, but there was only one queen in the harem, Zhao Li!

Zhao Tao regretted it. She had never regretted it more than now. That was the position of Queen! It was the most honorable position in the world. More importantly, that position originally belonged to her! She personally gave up the position of Queen to Zhao Li...

"Bold Zhao! You can't look the emperor in the face. Lower your head now!" Fulu scolded again.

"It's okay." Ye Ze looked down at Zhao Tao and asked, "Zhao, I want to ask you, has Shen Wenren ever mentioned divorcing you?"

Shen Wenren looked at Zhao Tao nervously and kept winking at her, hoping that she would stop talking nonsense. The matters between them could still be discussed. If Zhao Li was still willing to acknowledge Zhao Tao as her cousin, he did not necessarily have to divorce her. He could let Wen Wan be his co-wife. Wen Wan understood him so well that she would definitely understand him!

However, Zhao Tao did not even look at Shen Wenren, let alone notice the look he gave her. She simply nodded and cried, "Your Majesty, I regret it. I shouldn't have made a mistake and become Shen Wenren's wife. He just passed the imperial examination and wanted to divorce me and marry someone else. Woohoo... I was wrong, Ye, Your Majesty, I am your engaged wife for many years. Can we start over?"

Ye Ze simply ignored the second half of her words and looked at Shen Wenren, "Do you want to explain?"

Shen Wenren was about to lose his mind. Did Zhao Tao want to kill him?

He quickly knelt down and apologized, "I was confused before. I will never divorce my wife. Zhao has been with me for more than two years. We still have feelings for each other..."

Shen Wenren turned to look at Zhao Tao, his eyes full of affection. However, he was interrupted by Zhao Tao just as he was about to say something: "Who has feelings for you? Apart from the first few days after we got married, you have refused to touch me for more than two years and even slept in separate rooms from me. How can there be any feelings between us?"

Zhao Tao didn't even glance at Shen Wenren, her eyes stayed on Ye Ze's face, tears in her eyes, she pouted her lips with a pitiful look, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong, even if you let me be your concubine, I will accept it, as long as you can let me stay by your side and serve you, I will do anything! Really!"

Ye Ze: “…” He wanted to vomit!

Zhao Li's pouting lips are cute, but your pouting lips are fatal! Don't you consider your own conditions at all?

Zhao Tao's face of kneeling and licking Ye Ze really made Shen Wenren feel disgusted and angry! How could you be so cheap? If there were no outsiders here, would you have stripped naked and stuck to him?

Don't forget that you are still my wife! How dare you cuckold me so blatantly?!

Shen Wenren's mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat, and his chest was filled with blood! Zhao Tao! He really underestimated her before!

However, now is not the time to worry about these things. The most urgent thing is that he must reconcile with Zhao Tao and stop Ye Ze from pursuing the matter any further. Otherwise, all his hard-earned fame will be gone!

Holding back his nausea, Shen Wenren looked at Zhao Tao and said seriously, "Tao'er, please stop making trouble, okay? I was wrong before, isn't it enough for me to apologize? I was confused for a moment, let's just live a good life from now on, okay?"

Zhao Tao's heart is now on Ye Ze. Even if Shen Wenren doesn't want to divorce her, she won't continue to live with him. She snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You want to live a good life with me? What about that bitch? Are you not going to marry her?"

Shen Wenren choked, "Tao'er, I can marry her as my co-wife. You two can treat each other as sisters, regardless of age. How about that?"

Zhao Tao: "What if I don't agree?"

Shen Wenren: “…”

At this moment, Shen Wenren really regretted it. Why did he agree to let Zhao Tao come to Beijing to serve him? If Zhao Tao hadn't come, this wouldn't have happened today! His official position would have been secure!

Ye Ze watched the two of them bickering with great interest, until Shen Wenren was defeated and speechless, then Ye Ze spoke in surprise: "Brother Shen, you have even found a new partner? Do you want me to send someone to come and confront him together?"

"No, no need..." Shen Wenren subconsciously refused. How could he let Wan'er see him in such an embarrassing state?

"Okay, then call her over and see if she agrees to be a concubine! Shen Wenren, don't forget that a concubine is also a concubine!"

Zhao Tao was eager to let Wen Wan hear what Shen Wenren had just said, to see if she was still arrogant! Even if Shen Wenren was the man she, Zhao Tao, had abandoned, she couldn't let that little bitch get away with it!

Ye Ze raised his hand and ordered the palace servant: "Go and invite him!"

Ye Ze wants to make a big deal out of this matter. Tomorrow he will bring it to the court. It would be best if a law could be made based on this matter to protect women!

No longer wanting to listen to their quarrel any more, Ye Ze picked up the memorial and started reading it.

Shen Wenren's heart skipped a beat. He felt that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, but he was powerless and helpless.

Zhao Tao looked at Ye Ze with admiration. Why didn’t she realize that Ye Ze was so charming before?

He just had to sit there and wave his hand, and someone would do everything for him. This feeling of power and money made Zhao Tao yearn for it.

Time passed by little by little, and Shen Wenren was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Every minute and every second was torture, but he could only kneel here and wait, unable to do anything.

He hadn't discussed with her about making Wen Wan his co-wife yet, and he told her about it so rashly. What should she do if she was so upset?

Wan'er should be able to understand herself, right?

The waiting time was long. Zhao Tao's legs were almost numb from kneeling. She simply knelt on the ground and gently beat her numb calves with her fists. She raised her head and acted coquettishly towards Ye Ze, "My legs are almost numb from kneeling, and you won't let me get up?"

Ye Ze got goose bumps all over his body when he heard this. "Can you please stop talking to me like that? We are not close, okay? Have you forgotten how much you looked down on the original owner?"

Ye Ze's face darkened and he said coldly, "Both of you get up."

Zhao Tao: “…”

Shen Wenren: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Looking at Ye Ze's ugly face, Zhao Tao didn't dare to say anything more. She staggered to her feet and glanced at Shen Wenren fiercely. You're so lucky!
