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

The rain continued to fall all night long, and the lights in the Canglanyuan study were on all night long.

Ji Zhen stood by the window for half the night, holding the half piece of black jade. The wind and rain wet her hair, but she didn't feel cold.

She always felt that the rain fell at the right time, hitting her face, flowing down her brows, passing by the corners of her eyes, and taking away the few tears that were still warm, very timely.

After all, there was nothing to cry about. She had expected this outcome and had already prepared for it.

It would be terrible if someone found her crying.

After all, people outside are saying that the Prince of Qingyan in Nanyue is a playboy. He has dozens of male favorites in his mansion and dozens more in his territories. He revels in music and wine every night and is extremely absurd.

How could such an absurd person be hurt by love? It is too strange and unreal.

Besides, it wasn't his fault. He just wanted to go home, but she was so arrogant that she thought he wanted to stay.

She had promised him that they would be together for the rest of their lives. But how could these compare to the high dragon throne and the twelve imperial statues in front and behind.

Absurd, indeed.

When it was almost dawn, there was a light knock on the door, and the sound of the night wind came in:

"Your Highness, the guest minister must personally follow Chaoge to the East Market."

Ji Zhen tightened his grip on Mo Yu's hand, laughed at himself for a while, picked up the letter on the table that had already been sealed with wax, handed it to Ye Feng, and instructed:

"Send it to Tanzhou at an expedited rate of eight hundred miles. Have them handle it immediately. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The night breeze disappeared in the wind and rain. Ji Zhen looked at his disappearing shadow, stunned for a moment, finally closed the window, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

You Qing, you always say that you are not free in South Vietnam. This time, I will let you get what you want, return to your Yan State, and become the emperor. I hope you can get the freedom you want.

When the sky brightens, the wind stops and the rain stops. The bright sunlight brings life to the plants and trees nourished by the rain.

Ji Zhen was summoned into the palace by an imperial edict. In the upper study, the empress was wearing a veiled dress, sitting behind a desk, holding a memorial in her hand and looking at it, ignoring her.

Ji Zhen knelt on the ground like this for a quarter of an hour.

Although it was late spring, the stone floor of the study was very cold and hard. Ji Zhen knelt for a while and felt the chill and sharp pain in his knees, which was very unbearable.

But she remained motionless, kneeling straight.

When the attendant opened the double-eared beast-mouthed incense burner for the second time to add incense, the empress finally put down the memorial, glanced at Ji Zhen who was kneeling upright, and said lightly:

"Qingyan, you've been kneeling for quite a while. Tell me, which is harder, the floor tiles of my study or the floor tiles of your dungeon in the palace?"

Ji Zhen knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "I am terrified."

Ji Zhen was not surprised at all that the empress knew that she had brought Li Yuanying and Li Yuanzhen into Yin's office.

She had instructed Lin Jiahuai to keep Li Yuanzhen and Li Yuanying in Beijing after releasing them and not let them leave.

Lin Jiahuai directly asked the Nanyue Law Enforcement Commissioner to order the detention of Li Yuanying and Li Yuanzhen in the capital in his capacity as the Jingzhao Yin. They were not allowed to leave the capital without permission, which showed that he did not give them any face at all.

Sure enough, as soon as the order was given, Li Yuanying immediately started cursing in the hall, which made Lin Jiahuai very angry.

After Ji Zhen found out, she estimated that even if Li Yuanzhen could swallow this, the pig-headed Li Yuanying would definitely not be able to swallow this and would definitely make a scene before the emperor.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the empress came to find her.

The empress looked at Ji Zhen lying on the ground and snorted coldly:

"I see you are very courageous. Yesterday you dared to capture the crown princess and princess of South Vietnam and put them in your dungeon. Will I even give up my position to you tomorrow?"

This was a very harsh remark, almost like pointing at Ji Zhen's nose and scolding him for rebelling. But Ji Zhen was not panicked at all, he just lay on the ground and said calmly:

"I am a loyal and honest person who has no second thoughts. A few days ago, I found out that someone was selling the Northwest Defense Map in the market in Beijing. I traced it all the way and found that it was related to Princess Xianyao and Her Royal Highness. This matter concerns the military affairs of South Vietnam, so I had no choice but to invite Princess Xianyao and Her Royal Highness to jointly interrogate the criminal."

"Joint trial? You are a prince with troops in the northwest. How can you have the right to try the case in the capital? How dare you arrest Xian Yao and the princess?"

The empress's voice was cold and her eyes were sharp, as if she could see through Ji Zhen.

Ji Zhen was upright in her heart and was not afraid. She stood up from the ground, glanced at the empress, then lowered her eyes and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I have never dared to take charge of my own affairs. Lord Lin, the Jingzhao Yin, was present during the entire trial. It was only to avoid alerting the enemy and to save the royal family's reputation that I discussed with Lord Lin and decided to place the criminal court in the dungeon of my mansion. After all, this case involves the assassins of the Eastern Palace and Princess Xianyao's mansion. If..."

"absurd!"

The empress suddenly became furious and swept all the memorials on the table to the ground with a flick of her sleeve.

The servants serving in the study immediately knelt on the ground. Ji Zhen quietly prostrated himself on the ground with everyone else, keeping silent.

"Get down here, everyone!"

The empress angrily sent all the attendants out of the study, stood up, and paced back and forth anxiously. After a while, she suddenly stood in front of Ji Zhen and asked condescendingly:

"The princess is already in charge of the Ministry of War and occasionally supervises the country on my behalf. She has done a very good job. Why would she indulge Xian Yao and collude with the insignificant Yan State?"

Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the empress knew everything. This was even better.

"Your Majesty, it's not that Her Highness wants to collude with the Kingdom of Yan, but Yan is about to fall into chaos. If we don't take action, other countries will. Her Highness Xian Yao is ignorant of worldly affairs, and perhaps she was seduced by the male favorite sent by Yan, so she did something wrong. But Her Highness has always been thoughtful. Although she did something wrong in such a military and national event, her heart is for Nanyue."

"Oh? Do you really think that the princess's action is not a rebellion but is for the benefit of South Vietnam?"

The empress lowered her eyes and looked at Ji Zhen with a complicated expression. Ji Zhen said seriously:

"Her Royal Highness is the Crown Prince, and she is of the same mind as His Majesty and her daughter. Naturally, she is loyal to South Vietnam no matter what."

"Mother and daughter are of one mind? It would be better if they were truly of one mind." The empress snorted coldly, turned back to sit behind the desk, waved her hand to Ji Zhen and said, "Okay, stand up and talk."

Ji Zhen endured the sharp pain in her knee, stood up shakily, her face pale.

The empress looked at her pale face and said with disdain:

"How old are you? Your body can't stand kneeling? You are no match for your mother!"

After that, he gave the order outside:

"Someone serve tea to Qingyan and offer him a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Empress had a close relationship with Ji Zhen's mother. She was always upset about her mother being buried in Wanren Pass, so she was especially nice to Ji Zhen. So whenever the Empress mentioned her mother, Ji Zhen would always remain silent, letting the Empress reminisce alone.

Sure enough, while Ji Zhen was drinking tea to warm herself up, the empress became absent-minded. It was not until Ji Zhen gently put down the teacup that she sighed and asked:

"Tell me, what's going on in Yan State?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Yan is seriously ill, and the Crown Prince has colluded with corrupt officials to kill his brothers. The court is in chaos. Now we just need to release the hostage Zhao Youqing and give him a happy ending. We can kill two birds with one stone and eliminate the trouble forever."

Ji Zhen finished her words slowly, and the empress fixed her sharp eyes on her for a long time before slowly saying:

"You're willing to do it."
