Quick Wear: After the female supporting role was funny, the male protagonist turned evil

Duanmu Qi's handsome face stopped at a position where Lin Zhiyi could breathe, but he only paused for a moment before continuing to lower his head.

Lin Zhiyi turned away to avoid some intimacy that shouldn't have happened. Duanmu Qi's eyes were filled with gloom, and he stood up and said, "Announce."

"Hanlin Compiler Li Song pays homage to Your Majesty." The man in red official uniform bowed his head.

The emperor did not ask for permission to be formal, but directly asked, "How is Shun'an's matter?"

Li Song was not exempted from the formalities, so he had to kneel on the ground and raised his head. He wanted to reply, but he saw Lin Zhiyi standing next to the emperor in a white dress with gradient pink gauze on her wrists. His eyes were filled with amazement, "Madam is so beautiful!"

His ancestors were also high-ranking officials, but later the family fell into poverty. Although they had some status, they could not live a luxurious life, and naturally could not afford to buy fine fabrics to dress his wife.

Lin Zhiyi's outfit now really made him unable to take his eyes off her, and he even forgot to answer the emperor's questions.

Duanmu Qi's face turned cold, and Le Xi got the signal and slapped him in the face: "How dare you! His Majesty is asking you a question!"

Caught off guard, Lin Zhiyi was hit in the face and was frightened: "Li Lang!" She wanted to move forward but was stopped by the very discerning Xiaotao.

Xiaotao is a real secret guard. With her pulling, Lin Zhiyi can't move an inch.

Scholars care most about their reputation, but Li Song also knows that he was the one who ignored the emperor first and should be punished.

At that moment, he could only blush and apologize.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for my rudeness. I haven't seen my wife for a while and I missed her so much that I was distracted."

"I have already properly handled the matter of Princess Shun'an. I had intended to go to the palace tomorrow to request permission to bring my wife back. Now that Your Majesty is here, I will boldly request an audience."

"How to deal with it?" Duanmu Qi asked.

Li Song's expression softened. "The rumors circulating about Princess Shun'an being domineering are nothing but nonsense from the people. The princess is very easy to get along with. I simply explained the whole story to her, and she even blamed herself for causing trouble for my family."

"Not only did she withdraw her intention to marry me, she also helped me come up with ideas to calm the situation. The princess said she would give me a reward tomorrow as an apology, and would often summon me to her palace to accompany her in the future."

If Lin Zhiyi hadn't been good at controlling her facial expressions, she would have wanted to vomit on Li Song's head. This wasn't a solution; it was sending her to hell.

Princess Shun'an has been domineering for a long time. How could she give the man she likes to a commoner girl? She probably heard that the emperor had intervened, so she didn't want to go too far openly and prepared to kill her secretly.

A common woman is always by his side, but he can torture her at will for any reason. This is ancient times, and human life is worthless under the imperial power.

Princess Shunan is the same old thing in a new bottle, and she even acted considerate in front of Li Song. She is worthy of being a royal product, and she has figured out the tricks of palace fighting.

After Li Song finished his explanation, everyone except him, who was still immersed in the princess's tenderness, looked a little strange.

Xiao Tao showed her contempt clearly, that's it?

If it weren't for the life-saving grace and the lady's amnesia, how could the lady fall for this loser!

The Emperor showed no emotion as he looked at Lin Zhiyi and asked, "Are you satisfied with this solution?"

Lin Zhiyi naturally knew what the emperor wanted to hear. When they were alone together just now, the meaning of this thing was already very clear. He said this now just to make her express her opinion.

But what she plays with is loyalty. Isn't she given the title of Madam Loyalty? How can she refuse this honor?

She immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, now that this matter has been resolved, I wish to return with my husband."

The hall suddenly became cold, and Li Song, who was kneeling on the ground, shivered inexplicably, but he still said with great joy: "Your Majesty, may I take the lady home?"

Duanmu Qi stared at Lin Zhiyi for a long moment and said, "Sure."

Li Song's face was full of smiles. He immediately stood up and took the hand of Lin Zhiyi who was walking over. The two looked at each other affectionately, bowed again and walked out together.

The emperor gave Xiao Tao a look, and she immediately understood. She shouted, "Madam, please wait for me. I will go home with you."

Li Song was surprised: "You are..."

Le Xi reminded him, "Xiao Tao is a maidservant in the imperial study. Giving her to your Excellency's wife is a great favor from His Majesty. Why don't you thank her?"

Li Song was immediately filled with gratitude and knelt down to kowtow, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of my wife. I am deeply grateful." The people in the imperial study gave Zhiyi the position of maid, which was indeed a great honor.

Lin Zhiyi's mouth twitched slightly at these words, but she still knelt down and kowtowed. She was really impressed. The ancient times were quite interesting, but the kowtow made her feel uncomfortable.

The two of them happily walked together and prepared to leave.

This time, Prime Minister Xiao Sheng spoke: "Wait."

Lin Zhiyi was speechless. Could she still walk out of this yard?

Li Song, however, showed no temper at all and humbly asked, "What are your instructions, Prime Minister?"

"It's not really an order. I was just looking through the missing persons cases compiled by the Ministry of Justice recently and happened to notice that Madam Ling's background is unknown. Did you report Lin Zhiyi to the local authorities a year ago when you rescued her?"

Li Song's expression changed, but he didn't answer.

Xiao Sheng said meaningfully, "Master Li, as the top scholar and well-read, would know how to take in strangers. You should report it to the local authorities. If you knowingly break the law, what is the punishment?"

Li Song was frightened and knelt again. He looked up at the emperor and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this matter... I did something wrong, but I had no choice at the time."

"I come from Huilin County, Qingzhou. The then governor of Huilin County, Liu An, was extremely fond of women and often raped them in the streets. Zhiyi is so beautiful that it would be better for me to not save her by sending her to the government."

"At first, I was just a humble scholar. How could I possibly compete with the county governor? That's why I kept this a secret. I truly only wanted to save her. Later... I fell in love with her and married her."

"Your Majesty, listen to the voices of the people after you ascended the throne. Liu An was reported six months ago and beheaded in public. I, your humble servant, have never lied."

The emperor pretended to recall and nodded, "I have heard of this matter. Liu An was greedy and lustful, and harmed the people. His death is not a pity. I will not pursue this matter, but your wife's identity is still unknown."

"Since the Prime Minister is investigating missing persons, he should investigate this matter thoroughly. When he rescued Lin Zhiyi, did she have any token of trust?"

Li Song breathed a sigh of relief and took out a white jade pendant of excellent quality from his arms.

"Your Majesty, at that time, my wife only had a jade pendant on her. She gave me this jade as a token of love. It was this jade."

Xiao Sheng took the jade pendant and took a look at it. A dark light flashed in his eyes, but he did not show it. He handed it to Duanmu Qi in person.

Duanmu Qi took it and looked at it. It had a common auspicious cloud pattern and the texture was excellent. On the back... the shrunken word "Humility" made his dark eyes narrow slightly.

It's just a very ordinary word, but if it is paired with the fact that the King of Yue is secretly looking for a beautiful woman with a peach blossom birthmark behind her ear, this matter becomes unusual.

The King of Yue, whose real name was Duanmu Yue, was also courtesy name Ziqian. The word "Qian" was bestowed by the previous emperor and holds great significance.

Lin Zhi noticed that Duanmu Qi didn't speak for a long time and kept looking at the jade pendant, and she felt something was wrong.

She really has no memory of the past, so what happened to the jade pendant?

I have the impression that there is a word "humility" above it, but this is very common, what's wrong?
