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

Seeing that Duanmu Qi was going to carry her to see Li Lang, Lin Zhiyi's face turned pale and she didn't know what to do. She could only bury her head in the emperor's chest, pretending to be unconscious, ashamed to see him.

Duanmu Qi curled his lips, not even pulling his hand away, but Lin Zhiyi's sideways movement covered it...

Li Song was still ill. When he heard that the princess had poisoned his wife, he thought it was impossible, so he quickly got up and looked for someone.

I was shocked by the scene before me before I even bowed in the bedroom.

He stood there dumbfounded, and asked, "Why did your Majesty embrace my wife?"

The emperor, dressed in plain clothes but still looking like a dragon robe, looked at him with disdain: "Who gave you your official position?"

"It's Your Majesty."

"Who gave you this mansion?"

"Your Majesty."

"Whose wife is yours?"

"..." Li Song almost blurted out "Your Majesty", but after a long pause he swallowed it back and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Duanmu Qi's expression was already sharp, and at this moment he looked very stern and intimidating. With just one sentence "What crime have you committed?", Li Song was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and completely forgot to question.

"I value your talent and gave you five days to deal with Shun'an's affairs. How incompetent of you to let Shun'an go even further for you!"

"The royal family's reputation cannot be lost. You only have two choices: I will depose you from office, banish you from the capital, and never employ you again. Or you can divorce your wife and become Shun'an's consort. What is your choice?"

Li Songru was struck by lightning, and his already cold body was shaking. He stood there with his fingers clasped on the ground, unable to answer.

Duanmu Qi insisted that he say it himself.

"Say!"

Li Song bowed his head to the ground in pain: "Your humble servant...your humble servant is willing to be the consort of the emperor."

After she finished speaking, the sobbing sound that she had tried hard to hide became louder, and the only sound in the room was the woman's crying after being abandoned. Li Song felt guilty and could not bear to listen to it at all, so he got up and fled in embarrassment.

Lin Zhiyi's tears soaked the emperor's clothes, but she was still forced to face it.

"I only said to depose you from your official position and expel you from the capital. I didn't say you couldn't be taken with you. It's because he couldn't give up his official position. Do you understand? You are nothing more than this to him."

Lin Zhiyi said angrily: "He won't understand what you mean by holding me like this. How could you have the intention to take me away under such pressure? Duanmu Qi, I hate you!"

Lin Zhiyi bit the emperor's neck.

Duanmu Qi still didn't hide. He grabbed her by the back of the neck and said, "This is the third time you've bitten me. I hate you a lot, and you're no exception. Cultivate yourself well and wait for tomorrow's imperial decree. This mansion will be given to you in the future."

He gently pulled her away, wiped the blood from her red lips, kissed her on the forehead and left.

After the emperor left, Xiao Tao quietly came in and stood guard by the bed. She was afraid that the lady would be upset and hurt herself.

Lin Zhiyi turned over and laughed secretly, this girl is quite interesting.

But I was totally worrying too much. Tsk, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. The compensation won't be bad, right?

Morning court session in Qianqing Palace.

The ministers were divided into purple and red official uniforms. Officials of the second rank and above wore purple official uniforms and stood in the front, while the rest wore red court robes and stood in an orderly manner behind.

The chief among the ministers was naturally Prime Minister Xiao Sheng, dressed in purple, which made his already noble figure stand out even more. No one would be dissatisfied with him being the Prime Minister at such a young age.

Not to mention that he came from the aristocratic Xiao family, he has been with Your Majesty since the time when the prince was in hiding until today. I don’t know how many ups and downs they have been through. It can only be said that he deserves the position of Prime Minister.

The chief eunuch, Le Xi, stood behind the emperor and said loudly, "If you have something to say, please rise and report; otherwise, please leave!"

The second-rank Imperial Censor stepped out with a righteous expression: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

"allow."

Imperial Censor Wang Tai, always upright and incorruptible, now spoke with anger, "I heard that Princess Shun'an entertained the wife of the top scholar yesterday and poisoned her. Your Majesty rescued her. Is this true?"

The emperor's expression was unclear due to the crown he wore. He paused and said, "Really, Madam Li has been rescued and is fine."

Wang Tai's face grew even angrier. "This isn't something that can be resolved by simply rescuing her. We in Dayao have our own laws. Even if the princess is a member of the royal family, how can we take her life lightly?"

"Grand Censor Wang Tai impeached Princess Shun'an. Her first offense was that as a princess, she disregarded the dignity of the royal family and declared that she wanted the top scholar to be her husband, causing discord between her and her husband."

"His second crime is that, knowing that the top scholar was married, he not only did not restrain himself but instead escalated his actions, poisoning the official's wife. This is a blatant defiance of the laws of Great Yao. Your Majesty, I implore you to punish him severely."

The Minister of Justice looked unconcerned.

He stood up and said, "Master Wang, you should let it go now. Whether it was poisoning or not, the wife of the top scholar didn't report it to the police. How can you make a conclusion based on your momentary anger? Maybe he just ate something wrong."

"Besides, the princess is of such high status that it's not wrong for her to want a consort that suits her. There's no need to waste everyone's time on such trivial matters in the court."

Wang Tai said sternly, "The royal family has no family affairs. Princess Shun'an's reputation for tyranny has been around for a long time. Your Majesty has only recently ascended the throne, and this is a crucial time to stabilize the people's hearts. How can you let her reputation be damaged because of someone else? My Lord Shangshu wants to make this matter a small matter, but have you considered Your Majesty?"

The Minister of Justice's expression changed: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention!"

Seeing the situation was almost settled, Duanmu Qi said, "Alright, my two beloved ministers, you are both doing this for the country and the royal family. I naturally understand your intentions. As Censor Wang said, Shunan has indeed committed a crime and must be punished. However, there is indeed no case file to report, so the punishment remains to be considered."

"This matter has been going on for a while, and it's time for a conclusion. Since it concerns the number one scholar, I naturally want to hear what he has to say. I'll ask the Imperial Academy to compile a eulogy for Li."

Li Song, still looking pale, entered the hall and knelt down. Under the pressure from the previous emperor, he suppressed his reluctance and spoke.

"I, your humble servant..., feel ashamed of my wife and wish to reconcile with her and set her free."

Wang Tai had some feelings for this top scholar. After all, he was talented and promising. But now, with a look of disdain on his face, he asked, "Do you want to be a prince consort?"

Li Song kept silent.

Wang Tai sneered, "I am ashamed to associate with such people who try to curry favor with the rich and powerful. It's a pity that people say your wife is a beautiful woman. I just want to give you three words. Do you deserve it?"

Li Song was unwilling to accept this, and now his defenses were broken. He shouted angrily, "Why am I unworthy? I think I treat her like a pearl, but there are people..."

Duanmu Qi's eyes turned cold, and Prime Minister Xiao Sheng immediately stepped out to interrupt him.

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, a peaceful divorce may not be a bad outcome. The people of Dayao are open-minded, and a peaceful divorce is not something to be ashamed of. The royal family will not shirk the compensation that is due."

"Your Majesty, I have met Lin Zhiyi. She is a rare gem in the world and extremely intelligent. I would like to take her as my sister and look after her in the capital. What do you think?"

The clever ministers all understood that His Majesty had made plans long ago, so no one would be so blind as to step forward and cause trouble.

"Approved. Starting today, Hanlin editor Li Song and Lin Zhiyi will divorce and have no further ties. I will confer the title of Princess Yunhuang on Lin Zhiyi and grant her a residence in the capital. Since the Prime Minister intends to recognize her as his adopted sister, I will take good care of her."

"Your humble servant obeys your order." Xiao Sheng bowed and accepted the order.

All the ministers were shocked. This was really a blessing and a curse. She actually had the title of County Princess. Although she did not have any actual fiefdom, weren't the two words "Yunhuang" too noble?

Moreover, if he is close to the Prime Minister, doesn’t that mean that the Xiao family, a noble family, is standing behind him? This person is very blessed!
