Sheng Qingqian shook her head quickly: "No, no, no, no."

She doesn't believe it!

Sheng Nanzhi must have lied to her about all this.

How could she... How could she have chosen the wrong person in both of her lives?

Why should Sheng Nanzhi do so? She was clearly destined to be a disaster from the moment she was born, but why did she live better than her in both lives?

Why should she?

She refused to accept it! She refused to accept it!

But Sheng Nanzhi didn't care at all whether Sheng Qingqian obeyed or not, she just raised her chin and said, "Take him away."

"Your Majesty will also exile the princes who were imprisoned yesterday to Haikou Cliff."

"Soon, you'll be able to set off together."

"I wish you a safe journey, Third Sister."

Sheng Qingqian was still yelling when she was taken away by the jailer.

Sheng Nanzhi watched Sheng Qingqian being taken away, but she didn't feel happy at all.

It seemed as if she had taken revenge.

Wen Tingyun is dead, and Sheng Qingqian, who had used all kinds of means on her in this life, is about to be exiled, repeating the ending of her previous life. Such an ending is probably more painful to her than killing her.

She even became queen.

But it all seemed to come too easily.

It seemed like she didn't do anything to get to this point.

Such ease always made her feel that there was a bigger storm brewing in secret.

But now Wen Tingyun is dead, Sheng Qingqian is going to be exiled, and Sheng Yunrou is a time traveler, and the soul in that body does not have much hatred towards her.

She had no idea where this storm could come from.

Sheng Nanzhi was sitting in the carriage, still thinking about this matter.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a light knock on the carriage window. Sheng Nanzhi slightly opened the carriage curtain: "What's wrong?"

Following outside the carriage was Yuanbao, who was sent by Shi Huaizhi to protect her.

Yuan Bao lowered his voice and said, "How come I see someone loitering at the gate of our mansion from afar?"

"That person looks like Concubine Liu from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"But Madam Liu...didn't she sever her ties with the Empress? Didn't she say she'd have no further contact with the Empress until she died? Why is she hanging around outside our mansion?"

Sheng Nanzhi leaned her head out slightly and squinted her eyes. The person pacing anxiously back and forth at the door did look like Aunt Liu.

She couldn't help but sneer. "She was able to break off the engagement with me so easily because Wen Tingyun was the Crown Prince at that time. She exchanged it for my promise that I would never get entangled with Wen Tingyun. She felt that as long as she did this, Sheng Qingqian's position as Crown Princess would be secure."

"I did promise and swear at that time that I would never marry Wen Tingyun. That's why she broke up with me without hesitation."

"But now, the development of things has completely exceeded her expectations."

"Wen Tingyun is dead, and His Majesty has also passed away. On the contrary, the unconscious Shi Huaizhi, who she never cared about, suddenly inherited the throne and became the emperor."

"And this daughter who was severed from her relationship became the queen."

"Naturally, she couldn't bear to let go."

After all, it would be such an honor to tell others that one's own daughter became the queen.

Even though she broke off the relationship with her daughter in front of countless people.

Sheng Nanzhi's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "Turn around, go around, and enter through the back door."

"Yes."

Sheng Nanzhi was not afraid of confronting her head-on. After all, the incident of breaking off the engagement had caused quite a stir.

Regardless of whether it was then or now, she is always the one who is right.

But now her status is different, and the emperor has just passed away, and Shi Huaizhi has just ascended the throne. She now has to be extra careful about her words and actions when she is outside.

If someone caught them by mistake, it would be disadvantageous to both her and Shi Huaizhi.

Sheng Nanzhi entered the house from the back door, then went to the front yard and told the doorman, "Go and invite Concubine Liu in."

Concubine Liu was brought in quickly. When she saw Sheng Nanzhi, her eyes seemed to light up with fire, and she hurried over: "Nanzhi!"

But just as she was about to say this, she was interrupted by Xue Yi who was standing beside her: "Madam Liu, when you see the Empress, you must kneel down and pay your respects. And, Madam Liu, calling the Empress by her name is extremely disrespectful!"

Aunt Liu paused and looked at Sheng Nanzhi intently.

Sheng Nanzhi even asked someone to bring her in, she must still be thinking about their mother-daughter relationship.

But she never expected that Sheng Nanzhi didn't even look at her, let alone say a word for her.

Concubine Liu's face froze slightly, and she could only perform the formal ceremony obediently: "Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyebrows, and Xue Yi immediately interrupted her again: "Your Highness? If I remember correctly, Madam Liu should only be a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

"This is probably the first time that Concubine Liu has met the Empress in her life, so she doesn't know the etiquette."

"Only the first wife of a court official is qualified to call herself a "minister" in front of His Majesty and the Empress. As a concubine of a court official, you should call yourself... a humble concubine in front of His Majesty and the Empress."

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth. At this point, how could she not see that Sheng Nanzhi was deliberately humiliating her!

This slut is just a maid, yet she dares to teach her a lesson like this.

She is Sheng Nanzhi's biological mother.

But she knew very well that everything this maid said and did was tacitly approved by Sheng Nanzhi.

Aunt Liu took a deep breath. Sheng Nanzhi must... still be angry with her, right?

Forget it. If Sheng Nanzhi could reconcile with her, what would be wrong for her, as a mother, to bow to her daughter?

Aunt Liu thought to herself, and quickly smiled: "Yes, your humble concubine greets the Empress."

Sheng Nanzhi took the fruit tea that Shuanghan had brewed, drank a sip, and finally looked at Concubine Liu in the eye: "Concubine Liu, what brings you here to see me?"

Aunt Liu quickly shook her head: "It's nothing serious. It's just about the last time Wen Tingyun asked to marry you. That matter was indeed careless on my part as a mother."

"At that time, the rumors were too rampant. As a concubine, I had no ability to find out the truth, so I could only listen to what others said."

"I was really too anxious at the time. After all, you were already married and pregnant. Those rumors were really bad for your reputation."

She wanted to say more, but Sheng Nanzhi had already raised her hand: "What Aunt Liu said is all in the past."

"Besides, I had already dealt with it at that time."

"I am quite satisfied with the outcome of this matter."

Aunt Liu's expression changed. Did Sheng Nanzhi mean... to sever the engagement with her?

But Sheng Nanzhi didn't explain further, she just said, "Now, I have no connection or relationship with Concubine Liu anymore, and Wen Tingyun is dead."

"What Aunt Liu thought at the time is no longer important."

Without waiting for Concubine Liu to explain, she continued, "Just now, I made a special trip to the Heavenly Prison to see the guilty woman Sheng Qingqian and finally put an end to everything with her."

"She will probably be exiled to Haikou Cliff soon."

"My aunt dotes on Sheng Qingqian so much, why don't you hurry up and prepare some things for her to make her life easier during her exile? Why are you here with me?"
