All along, she has held a belief in her heart: Yuan Qi is Wen Qingyan's, and they are childhood sweethearts and in love with each other.

Even at the beginning, because she was "lucky because of his beauty", she had imagined that if one day she could change Yuan Qi's identity, then she would get both sex and profit.

However, it was this selfishness, always selfishness, that prevented her from realizing Yuan Qi's true feelings. It was also because of selfishness that made her ignore Zhong Yu.

So what now?

Zhou Chang stared at Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi also stared back at him.

Qiu Hong's sparkling eyes were bright and brilliant, as if the entire universe was contained in them.

Zhou Chang was deeply attracted by those eyes and could not look away. There was no one else in the Golden Palace.

In the past, she had been attracted by these eyes countless times, but she always thought it was just because Yuan Qi was truly incredibly beautiful.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

It was not until this moment that she understood that such a gaze, deep, vast, and as bright as the stars, was directed only at King Yi and had nothing to do with her.

Yuan Qi has feelings for Prince Yi, not Wen Qingyan.

This realization was enough to make Prince Yi's consciousness ecstatic.

Zhou Chang pressed down hard

What about her?

Zhou Chang turned his head with difficulty and looked up at the throne high above.

On the throne, Emperor Lin was staring at him with inquiring eyes.

But Zhou Chang's gaze ignored the emperor and she just looked at the seat.

Laughed.

First in the heart, then the smile spreads across the face.

While laughing, she had already made her decision.

If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for being stupid.

During this period, she was depressed and unable to sleep. She thought she had lost the whole world...

In fact, nothing was lost.

If you want to get everything back, all you need to do is let go of that little bit of selfishness.

Every face in front of me was filled with confusion.

Only Zhou Chang felt clearer than ever before.

She rushed over and snatched Yuan Qi's letter from Yuan Yun. The first thing she saw was the first line: "Morning and evening, year after year."

Seeing this line of words, she couldn't help but smile more, and a poem that she had forgotten in her previous life popped up in her mind: "If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night... Who can match the light rouge with me, and make it thicker on the face. Like flowers and leaves, we share the spring breeze year after year..."

It was all her fault that she was stupid and wasted so much time.

Zhou Chang's peripheral vision caught sight of another piece of paper in the golden nanmu brocade box.

This golden nanmu brocade box originally contained only three things - a jade pendant with intertwined branches, a note from Yuan Qi, and another one that read...

She reached out and took out the other piece of paper.

Yuan Yun still didn't understand what he meant, and was still angry because Prince Yi had rudely snatched the "evidence": "Haha... Prince... it's useless even if you take it all. His Majesty and all the civil and military officials in the court are watching. The evidence is solid and irrefutable..."

Zhou Chang stared at the paper, his curved eyes gradually widened into a full moon.

"Your Highness, are you trying to come up with an excuse? It's useless. With this box of letters as evidence, the words on the paper are written by Yuan Qi himself. He can't deny it." Yuan Yun glanced at Wen Qingyan with disdain. "What's more, there is a witness. I'm sure Wen Fei will know if it's Yuan Qi's handwriting at a glance, right?"

"I... I don't know." Wen Qingyan still wanted to deny it, but he was an honest gentleman after all.

When Yuan Yun's people came to him to ask questions, he knew that the matter was not simple, but because it involved Yuan Qi, he voluntarily went back again.

But what about witnesses?

He's not stupid either.

If I have to be a witness, I should be Yuan Qi’s witness.

But he didn't expect that he still meant well but ended up with bad results. It seemed like he had never done anything right towards Yuan Qi.

"Hahaha..." Zhou Chang pretended not to hear Yuan Yun's words, then suddenly laughed out loud, shook in front of Yuan Qi, and then shook in front of everyone, like a child offering a treasure.

Unfortunately, no one saw it clearly, so everyone was confused.

Zhou Chang shouted happily: "I didn't write it, I didn't write it, I didn't write it..."

Nothing written?

Everyone frowned. Was Prince Yi crazy?

"I didn't write a divorce letter, I didn't write a divorce letter..." Zhou Chang's voice was trembling as he shouted the answer, then looked at Yuan Qi, "Yuan Qi, you are still Princess Yi, you... no... we... we are still husband and wife."

As he spoke, he handed the paper to Yuan Qi, and he only cared about Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi took it, and saw only two words written in a crooked manner on the leftmost side of the blank rice paper in front of him - "Divorce".

Because the character “书” is in traditional Chinese, there is an extra horizontal line in the character “曰” below.

The rest of the space is blank.

But Yuan Qi still didn't react to what happened.

Zhou Chang's tone was filled with uncontrollable joy: "This was the divorce letter they forced me to write when I was summoned to the palace, so that the matter could be handled in a low-key manner. But later, after I returned home, I couldn't write a single word... So it's the same as not having written it at all."

It wasn't that Zhou Chang deliberately didn't write it at that time, it was just something he had agreed to do.

However, firstly, she really didn't know how to write; secondly, she could not recognize the traditional Chinese characters but could not write them; thirdly...she was just too tired and lost her patience, so she just lay down on the bed and threw the paper into the golden nanmu brocade box.

I didn't expect that after this, I would completely forget about it.

Not only did she forget, the Ministry of Rites also forgot, and Emperor Lin didn't take it to heart.

But now she can take advantage of the opportunity.

Since then, Zhou Chang put the matter out of his mind.

Yuan Yun, who was standing by, also saw it clearly. It should be said that she had seen this book when she was looking through the brocade box before.

But the word "divorce letter" on it was crooked and didn't look like it was written by Prince Yi. What's more, the Ministry of Rites had already explicitly stripped Yuan Qi of her status as princess, and she was the legitimate princess of Prince Yi who was married by imperial decree, so she didn't take it to heart.

They just thought it was a piece of scribbling by Prince Yi to "vent his anger", and it was just a piece of waste paper, maybe it was accidentally dropped to the bottom of the box by the thieves that day, so they just ignored it.

Who would have thought that this was indeed Prince Yi's only "personal writing" and it just happened to remind Zhou Chang.

There was no divorce letter or clear decree, and the marriage between Prince Yi and Yuan Qi remained.

Zhou Chang turned around and looked for Emperor Shanglin: "Father, I did all this. I asked her to do this. I did not write a divorce letter, nor did I divorce her. Yuan Qi is still the Princess of Yi."

"How is this possible? His Majesty has already issued an order..." Yuan Yun stepped back in shock at the news.

Zhou Chang went to see the Minister of Rites Shen Si again: "Your Majesty has never issued an order, and I have never written a divorce letter. The Ministry of Rites only issued a decree, but that decree is probably the Ministry of Rites's arbitrary assumption of the emperor's intention... Father has no such intention at all..."

“No, no, no… Your Highness Prince Yi, you can’t wrongly accuse me…” Minister of Rites Shen Si was almost knocked down by the blame, but he was still thinking, “At the beginning… At the beginning, it was indeed according to the oral order of Your Majesty that the Ministry of Rites issued the document, and the deprivation of title and position was indeed done according to Your Majesty’s wishes. As for Your Majesty’s imperial edict… the imperial edict… the central government has never officially drafted an edict… so… Your Majesty, Your Majesty… Your Majesty’s holy judgment… You have to say a word for me…”
