Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

The empress forced herself to take one last look at Ji Zhen, then completely passed out. When the medical officer rushed into the chaotic Chongde Palace, Zhao Xiyun had already quietly retreated to a side hall with Ji Zhen.

In the quiet side hall, the palace maids stood solemnly on both sides, not looking away. Zhao Xiyun frowned and sat opposite Ji Zhen, staring at her for a long time without saying a word.

Ji Zhen felt uneasy when she looked at him, but she couldn't say anything, so she just picked up the teacup, opened the lid, blew on it, and drank it slowly.

After all, although her status and rank were higher than Zhao Xiyun, Zhao Xiyun was a favorite of the empress and had served in the palace since childhood. Even Li Yuanying would have to restrain her arrogance when she saw her, let alone Ji Zhen.

Seeing the tea in the cup almost gone, Ji Zhen rubbed his stomach, feeling very mixed emotions.

Who would have thought that when she entered the palace early in the morning, she would encounter the empress who was furious and dizzy. Before she could say a few words, she was frightened.

After this, another person named Zhao Xiyun came and just stared at her without saying a word, allowing her to drink a lot of water, which was a rare opportunity in the palace.

Really satisfied.

What on earth was going on in this palace? What on earth was she called here for?

Seeing the sun rising outside the hall and approaching noon, Ji Zhen calmly put down the teacup and decided not to waste any more time here.

"Master Zhao."

Ji Zhen met Zhao Xiyun's gaze and spoke first:

"Your Majesty is ill, and Lord Zhao is just sitting here with me. Is this really okay?"

Zhao Xiyun listened to her, and the expression in his eyes did not change. It seemed that he was examining her, and it seemed that he was making some decision. After a while, he sighed heavily, waved to the palace servants around him, and ordered:

"Bring it up."

Hmm? Who should I take?

Ji Zhen was just muttering to herself when she saw two guards escorting in a man who was tied up and a woman in plain clothes without her hairpin. She immediately became alert.

You should know that in Nanyue, women officials all wore hats and hairpins with flowers. Different palace flowers represented different ranks to show respect and inferiority.

Now, in the palace, if a woman only wore plain clothes, it meant that she had been stripped of her official uniform. If she took off her hairpins, it meant that she had been convicted.

Why would such a person be brought to Zhao Xiyun? Unless...

Ji Zhen's eyes froze, and she immediately looked at the man who was tied up, and then she heard Zhao Xiyun's voice sounded slowly:

"This is the person you are looking for, from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, Donghai. And this one, the one who planned the rumor about you and Master Lu, from the Eastern Palace, the Lady Secretary."

Under Zhao Xiyun's cold gaze, the two were pushed hard by the guards and fell to the ground.

Ji Zhen opened her mouth slightly, unable to utter a word.

She knew that there were many talented people in the palace, but she just received the note yesterday, sealing off the camp and investigating people. How come Zhao Xiyun was caught in just one night?

How many spies does the empress have around her?

Ji Zhen felt a chill on her back, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of her clenched palms. Her heart was beating wildly, and the look she gave Dong Hai was like a poisoned arrow, which made him shrink back involuntarily.

Zhao Xiyun glanced at Ji Zhen and snorted:

"Your Highness Qingyan, I am not being nosy, but your way of dealing with things is still a far cry from that of the general back then. But there is ruthlessness in your eyes, and you have a promising future."

"And you..."

Zhao Xiyun suddenly changed the subject and walked to Dong Hai in two steps, looking down at him. Suddenly he raised his foot and kicked him to the ground, saying hatefully:

"You are a traitor. I said back then that the Xirong people are all ungrateful wolves. But the general and the loyal and brave marquis took pity on you as a baby and left you alone in Shiye City to protect you. Now it seems that a dog is a dog and can never become a human."

Facing Zhao Xiyun's humiliation, Dong Hai couldn't say a word. He fell to the ground, holding the place where Zhao Xiyun kicked him, gasping in pain, but was forcibly pulled up by the guards and continued to be interrogated.

Ji Zhen looked at the thin man in front of him and felt his temples throbbing.

Is this person Dong Hai?

Shiye City, the small border town of South Vietnam that was massacred by the Xirong and then beaten back by the general. When the Xirong were beaten back, they set the city on fire. The general almost lost his life trying to put out the fire. The people of Shiye hated the Xirong to the core. This Donghai, at that time, even if he was a baby, he would not have survived if it were not for the general's efforts to protect him.

But it had been almost twenty years since this happened. He had been serving Yu Bojun as the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and had never made any mistakes. Why did he target her, Ji Zhen, now? Why did he hook up with that East Palace Secretary?

Ji Zhen's eyes were as sharp as a knife. She stood up in front of Dong Hai, who was lying on the ground. She bent down and pinched his chin, forcing him to look up. She looked at his face carefully. Only then did she realize that Dong Hai looked ordinary, not much different from the men in South Vietnam. Only a hint of gray in his pupils revealed his true identity.

No wonder he had been keeping a low profile in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery for nearly twenty years without anyone noticing.

Ji Zhen snorted coldly, let him go and said coldly:

"If you don't look closely, you can't tell that you are a Western Rong. But, the general and the loyal and brave marquis saved your life, but you didn't repay them and instead harmed me. Why?"

Dong Hai, who was originally cowering on the ground, seemed to be stimulated by something after hearing Ji Zhen's words. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Ji Zhen, laughed very strangely, and said:

"Repay a favor? I am the son of the King of Leshan of the Western Rong, and my status is so noble! But I was captured by that great general and imprisoned in a small mansion, working like a slave for you. What favor can you say about me? If that great general had not died, I would have killed this thief with my own hands and crushed his bones to dust! I..."

Before he could finish his words, Ji Zhen raised her foot and kicked him in the face. She kicked him to the ground, and his head hit the blue brick floor hard. A pool of blood slowly spread around his head. The crown princess next to him was so scared that she trembled all over and looked as pale as death.

Zhao Xiyun raised his eyebrows, waved to the palace servant, and said:

"Go get a medical officer and don't let this thing die."

The palace maids were ordered to leave. Ji Zhen retracted her feet, brushed the hem of her skirt, and said to Zhao Xiyun calmly:

"I'm sorry, I've never hit a dog before, and I lost control of my strength. I'm sorry to have caused trouble to Lord Zhao."

Zhao Xiyun was startled when he heard this, then he started laughing, stood up, personally filled half a cup of hot tea for Ji Zhen, and handed it to her. He looked at her deeply, bowed slightly, and said:

"I don't deserve it. Xiyun takes back what he said before. Your Highness has a clear distinction between love and hate and is decisive in his actions. General Yu is a student who is better than his teacher. There is really a lot to look forward to in the future."

Ji Zhen stood straight, bowed to her, took the tea brought by Zhao Xiyun, gently lifted the lid and took a sip.

Warm, half full, clear and spotless.

This was a common tactic used by palace servants to express their submission.

However, Ji Zhen did not expect that Zhao Xiyun would serve tea to her at this time.

Thinking about it, Zhao Xiyun's previous attitude was probably just a test and estimation. And now, she is showing goodwill probably because there is someone here that she wants to protect.

The Donghai one definitely can’t be there, so, it must be the Crown Princess Secretary of the Eastern Palace?
