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

Princess Shunan's wedding is only three days away, and the Ministry of Rites has been working day and night for the past month.

After all, she is a princess of a country. Even if time is tight, she cannot lose face for the royal family, especially since His Majesty has said that he will attend the wedding in person. It is such a great honor, how can she make a mistake?

Perhaps realizing how much importance the emperor attached to this marriage, the imperial concubine offered to help with the arrangements. After all, Princess Shun'an's mother had long passed away.

No matter how his subordinates handled things, the emperor still did what he should do slowly and steadily.

If he is not in the morning court, he is in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience." The chief eunuch Le Xi bowed.

"Announce." The man who was busy reviewing memorials did not even raise his head.

Xiao Sheng entered the hall and bowed: "Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty."

"The King of Yue has moved?"

"Your Majesty, yes, judging by the timeframe, we should be able to attend Princess Shun'an's wedding. However, Southern Xinjiang is still closed to us. Even though our people claim to be following Your Majesty's orders, they can't even enter the royal palace."

Duanmu Qi put down the memorial, and Le Xi immediately drove everyone out and stood guard at the door of the imperial study.

Xiao Sheng said helplessly, "It seems the breakthrough still lies with County Lady Yunhuang. I wonder why this Southern Xinjiang region has been so prejudiced against Dayao since His Majesty ascended the throne, yet previously had close ties with the King of Yue."

"At first, I found it very strange, thinking that the King of Yue and Southern Xinjiang had reached some conspiracy. But recently, spies from Dayan sent news that the Prince of Southern Xinjiang has been stranded in Dayan's capital for a month and has not returned."

Duanmu Qi's eyes darkened: "Is the news true?"

Xiao Sheng nodded. "It's absolutely true. If Southern Xinjiang were to defect to Dayan, our Great Yao would be in danger. Your Majesty, this matter is of paramount importance and cannot be delayed. We must quickly understand the whole story."

"I mentioned earlier that the Third Prince of Southern Xinjiang is missing. Later, County Master Yunhuang suffered a headache and fell unconscious. Could the third brother she was muttering about be the Third Prince of Southern Xinjiang? But as far as I know, the Southern Xinjiang royal family has no princesses, only three princes."

Obviously Xiao Sheng was also a little confused about Lin Zhiyi's identity.

Duanmu Qi said calmly, "Are there any other unusual movements in Southern Xinjiang?"

Xiao Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Besides the fact that the eldest prince is stranded in Dayan, the annual Gu Festival in Southern Xinjiang was not held this year. This means that the entire festival that the people of Southern Xinjiang believe in has been suspended. I'm afraid the royal family is going to make some big moves."

"Immediately report to Southern Xinjiang the news that County Lady Yunhuang has a peach blossom birthmark behind her ear and has lost her memory. The rest will depend on this wedding banquet."

"I obey your order." Xiao Sheng bowed and took his leave.

When no one was in the imperial study, Duanmu Qi stood up and walked towards the palace gate as if he wanted to leave the palace, but when he thought of the sentence "If our identities were reversed, would Your Majesty be willing to enter the palace?" he stopped.

He and she both need time to think...

On June 18th, an auspicious day, Princess Shunan got married.

Although there was only a little over a month between the imperial edict and the wedding, the scene was still grand. The area around the princess's residence was shrouded in red clouds, and the ground was covered with red silk and flower petals. The people were waiting respectfully on both sides early in the morning, waiting for the princess's wedding sedan to pass by and to scatter wedding silver.

Not long after the top scholar passed the imperial examination, he became a prince consort and was promoted to a higher position. He is now a fifth-rank Hanlin scholar and has a bright future.

But the wife of the number one scholar... isn't that pitiful. At least she has the title of a second-rank county lady, and the royal family has compensated her generously. I just wonder if the Yunhuang County Lady will come today?

"Look, it's His Majesty's dragon chariot. His Majesty has come to the princess's residence in person. He truly loves his younger sister!"

Everyone only dared to look from afar, and when they got close, they all knelt down, and no one dared to make a noise.

The golden dragon chariot that was heading straight for the princess's residence suddenly stopped, and a man's magnetic and majestic voice came from inside: "Yun Huang, get on."

Lin Zhiyi, who was carrying Xiao Taotui to the princess's mansion, was just thinking about whether to kneel down like the crowd, because standing was too obvious, when she was called out.

The emperor's power is irreversible. In ancient times, even a three-year-old child understood this principle. Lin Zhiyi naturally did not dare to challenge the emperor in public. She saluted and said, "Yun Huang obeys your order."

When Lin Zhiyi got on the dragon chariot, the imperial concubine Zhao Rong frowned in the sedan chair at the back, "Luqin, go and see what's going on. Why did His Majesty stop?"

The little girl got off the sedan chair as ordered and quickly came back to report, while the team continued to move forward.

Zhao Rong's delicately painted eyebrows knitted slightly. "You said His Majesty summoned County Lady Yunhuang to the dragon chariot? They say County Lady Yunhuang is unparalleled in beauty. Did you see it?"

The little girl shook her head: "It's all because the common people are ignorant. If Your Majesty shows her face, naturally no one can compare to her. Moreover, the Yunhuang County Lady is not perfect after all. Your Majesty should not think too much."

Zhao Rong relaxed her brows and smiled, "Indeed, Your Majesty hasn't been in the harem lately, and I've become a little suspicious. That's understandable. Your Majesty isn't interested in women, and it's common for the harem to be cold and indifferent. So, when will I be able to have an heir to the throne?"

The maid Luqin comforted her: "Your Majesty will definitely have a little prince, and he will be the mother of the country."

Zhao Rong was delighted: "You are such a chatterbox, please don't say such nonsense."

There was joy and laughter here, but silence as cold as ice was on the dragon chariot.

Duanmu Qi looked at her face, which was particularly dazzling today, and said in silence for a while: "It's just beauty, I can tolerate it, but if it concerns the country, I will not let you go free."

Lin Zhiyi was surprised: "Your Majesty has found out your identity, who am I?"

Duanmu Qi shook his head. "You can't leave Southern Xinjiang anyway. Southern Xinjiang's natural terrain is both offensive and defensive, and it's sandwiched between two countries, making it a battleground for military strategists. Your jade pendant is related to the King of Yue, and with so many identities, I'm being merciful by not keeping you in the Imperial Palace."

"So, Your Majesty, you specifically said all this, what do you want from me?"

"If you remember anything, report it to me immediately. Don't hide anything."

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "If, I mean, if my identity stands in opposition to His Majesty, if I tell His Majesty, will His Majesty... kill me?"

Duanmu Qi looked at her for a moment, then reached out and held her in his arms, saying, "Identity changes with one's will. If you don't lie, I can give you a way out."

Lin Zhiyi was hugged and immediately gasped and looked outside, her body tense.

Although this dragon sedan is tightly covered, it is not airtight. As long as the wind is strong enough to blow up the window, she will be accused of seducing the emperor while being divorced. She is a loyal person!

He immediately started to struggle: "Your Majesty, please let go, or we'll be seen!"

Duanmu Qi did not let go, his eyes fixed on the lipstick-coated lips.

Lin Zhiyi was angry: "Duanmu Qi! You can't bully others just because you are the emperor. I... um~"

Le Xi, the driver, suddenly looked displeased and immediately glanced at the eunuchs around him. The carriage was then discreetly enclosed to prevent anyone from seeing anything...

It must be said that she was a little bit overwhelmed by the kiss. She had wanted to show how loyal she was as the loyal lady he personally conferred upon her, but now all that was forgotten.

He couldn't help but hug Duanmu Qi's neck and act out how charming and alluring the beauty was.
