After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Three days passed in a flash. On this day, the ministers left their posts early and rushed to the Yaohua Palace. In the cold winter, they rubbed their hands before the palace, waiting for the tightly closed gate to open. Soon, a eunuch's shrill, drawn-out announcement shattered the stillness. The civil and military officials immediately perked up, forming into two orderly lines according to rank, and steadily entered the palace. Soon, Emperor Jing leisurely approached the main seat.

"Your Majesty, may your holy body live forever and your country be forever stable!" the ministers shouted in unison.

"My dear ministers, please stand up." Emperor Jing raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.

After the ministers had taken their seats, Emperor Jing waved his hand, and maids filed in, carrying trays of delicious food. He clapped his hands again, and a group of acrobats in brown clothes swiftly entered the hall.

"This is a gift from the Queen Mother to all of you, my dear ministers. May you all share this joyful occasion."

The ministers gave a series of congratulatory speeches, which were nothing more than words of thanks and blessings to the Queen Mother. However, some ministers were worried that they were not grateful for the Queen Mother's gift in time.

"You said that the Empress Dowager wants to summon me to the palace?" Inside the Su residence, Su Wan looked at Cheng in surprise.

Cheng frowned, "I asked that aunt if she had summoned anyone else, but she kept her mouth shut."

What was even more infuriating was that Cheng told her aunt that Su Wan was so inexperienced that she wanted to bring her into the palace herself. However, her aunt refused, saying, "Can't the Empress Dowager protect a girl?" Cheng was at a loss for words.

"The master of the family is still attending a banquet. You take Liu Shang with you. If there is anything, let Liu Shang find a way to pass the message." As she said this, Cheng took out the token. This was the only thing she could do.

Su Wan naturally knew her limits and quickly changed her clothes and went to the palace.

The Empress Dowager's bedroom was located in the quiet Yanfu Palace. Su Wan followed the eunuch who led the way all the way here.

Yeonbokjeon is located in a corner of the imperial palace. It is surrounded by quiet and peaceful surroundings, and the front of the palace is surrounded by grass and trees, making it seem even more isolated from the world.

"Please wait a moment, my Lady. Let me inform you." The eunuch walked straight into the room without waiting for Su Wan's response.

Immediately afterwards, with a muffled "hum" sound, the heavy vermilion lacquered door slammed shut.

Inside the palace, the fireplace was burning brightly. The Queen Mother lazily reclined on the couch, gently stroking the cat in her arms, her eyes slightly narrowed. "Hmph, a daughter of a noble family, you've seen the world. Now you're just pretending to be wronged."

The thought that the divorced woman was actually involved with Xie Yin filled the Empress Dowager's heart with inexplicable anger. Even more infuriating was that she had dared to openly defy Madam Xie. If Madam Xie had not come to her crying and begging for help, she would have remained in the dark, completely unaware that this woman had such courage.

"Let her wait for now. I'll talk to her after I get some sleep."

"Yes."

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the cold wind was blowing on Su Wan and Liu Shang's faces. Liu Shang helped Su Wan to gather her fox-collared cloak, and suddenly thought of Xie Yin. He was afraid that only he could save Su Wan.

At this time, Xie Yin was sitting next to Liu Wei with a pot of wine and a smile in his eyes.

"Master Liu has been very busy lately."

Liu Wei humphed and didn't want to pay attention to Xie Yin. He didn't expect that the person next to him was so indifferent.

Xie Yin laughed as he watched Liu Yuting, who was admiring the beauty's dance. "I heard that Liu Erlang has taken in quite a few beauties recently. Hey, they're about the same age, so why is there such a big difference?"

Liu Wei looked up at Liu Yuting and glared at him.

"Chief Xie, please be frank. We are not close enough to chat yet." Liu Wei thought Xie Yin was making fun of him for his poor parenting, so he retorted with the rumors about him and Su Wan in recent days.

"My son is a bit of a mixed bag, but he's not as devoted as Chief Xie. The key is that he's not picky."

"What? You can't stand it anymore. You feel uncomfortable because you think I'm one step closer to success?" Xie Yin retorted.

"Xie Yin, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're favored!"

"So, you're going to kill me to warn me?"

Liu Wei was so shocked that his nostrils were trembling. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xie, are you throwing dirty water like this to make us lose everything?"

Xie Yin raised his eyebrows, "What can't you do for the military token? Even murder and robbery are no problem!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Wei roared, causing everyone to turn their heads.

He glanced around and whispered, "Thank you, Chief, the fight between you and me is a common bet. With different positions, there will naturally be conflicts."

"But our only goal is survival and power. I know you have something on me, and my Liu family has been walking on thin ice these past few days. So I won't do anything that will only harm myself. But if you want to pin this on me, I won't admit it! You say I committed murder and arson, you can investigate. If you find any clues, I'll put my head under your knife and let you do whatever you want with it!"

Xie Yin lowered his eyes in deep thought, then looked at Su Yanshu who was greeting Yu Lang, then stood up and returned to his seat.

At that time, a young eunuch came over and filled his glass with wine.

"Thank you, Chief Commander. Commander Cang Yi sent me a message to you, saying that Princess Jiahe is at the Empress Dowager's door."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Yin frowned. He waited for a moment after the young eunuch left before he slowly stood up and staggered out of the palace.

"What's going on?" Xie Yin walked quickly towards Yanfu Palace beside the woods.

Jingzhe: "It was someone close to the county lady who found Jingzhe. Jingzhe had someone deliver a letter to me. He said that not long after the banquet started, the county lady was summoned to the palace by the empress dowager."

"and then?"

"Then, I stood outside the palace waiting for the Queen Mother to summon me."

Xie Yin paused, his frosted eyes showing some surprise, and then he quickened his pace again.

"Hey, why is Chief Xie here?" The eunuch outside the door saw Xie Yin coming and hurried to greet him.

Xie Yin glanced at Su Wan, who was standing nearby with a flushed face. He frowned at first, then said, "My mother asked me to come and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. Please let her know."

Not long after the eunuch entered the room, the door of the hall opened.

Xie Yin: "County Lady, the palace gate is open. Please come in with me."

Su Wandong's lips were trembling and her consciousness was a little dazed. She only felt a hand pulling her forward.

"Wait!" As soon as he reached the corridor, he was stopped by someone.

Xie Yin looked over with a cold face, and saw Princess Linglong coming towards him.

"Thank you, Chief. I don't usually see you pay your respects to the Queen Mother, but today you are so diligent."

Xie Yin said calmly, "Greetings don't depend on diligence, but on sincerity of heart."

Linglong stretched out a hand to block Xie Yin's way. Xie Yin looked at Linglong coldly, causing her to take a step back.

"I am a princess, how dare you disrespect me?"

Xie Yin sneered, "How dare I? If you delay our meeting with the Queen Mother, it will be a source of gossip. Your Highness, who is intelligent and well-educated, should understand the feelings of our subjects and the people, right?"

Linglong's face was embarrassed. "Are you mocking me? Xie Yin actually mocked me for a woman like this?"

"First, your words are too serious. Second, the Princess of Jiahe was personally appointed by His Majesty. To insult her like this is to slap His Majesty in the face."

"you!"

The atmosphere was solemn. The young eunuch wanted to report to the Queen Mother but was stopped by the princess with a look.

"Princess." Su Wan stepped forward. "I'm here on the orders of the Queen Mother. People say that the princess is kind and gentle. I believe that the princess will not do anything to cause me to be punished."

Linglong raised her head without fear. She caught a glimpse of Xie Yin's eyes looking at Su Wan with a special concern, and the anger in her heart instantly grew three feet high.

"Snapped!"

The maid behind her received the order and reached out to hit Su Wan, but was blocked by Xie Yin. The palm landed firmly on Xie Yin's face, and it instantly turned red.

Xie Yin didn't move, but his eyes were filled with coldness. He looked straight at Princess Linglong and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Princess, are you satisfied now?"
