After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Although these people were like pushovers in front of the emperor, they couldn't say anything when they tried to offer their opinions.

All they know is hesitation and indecision.

But actually…

They all dared to criticize each other behind their backs.

When the Empress Dowager learned of this news, she was furious!

"I'm going to settle accounts with the Emperor."

"Yunniang, wait for me in my palace. You and Deng Chan will copy Buddhist scriptures together. I'll figure something out myself. I won't let you become some kind of 'Princess Jinxiu'."

"His Majesty is really disregarding me more and more."

With that, she strode out with a proud and confident air.

However, Jiang Zhiyun had a bad feeling. When the Empress Dowager reached the door, she said seriously, "Grandma Yu, wait."

"This matter needs careful consideration. If you go to the Emperor, I'm afraid he might take action against you."

The Empress Dowager patted Jiang Zhiyun's head: "Silly child."

"If His Majesty wants to take action against me, whether I go or not, the result will be the same."

"Anyway, if I can't even protect you, then I can't be your Grandma Yu anymore."

This is in the palace, so Granny Yu must protect Jiang Zhiyun even more!

“Then I’ll go with Grandma Yu.”

When Jiang Zhiyun said this, her eyes were full of determination: "As the person involved, I also want to ask."

"to make!"

What Grandma Yu admired most was Jiang Zhiyun's attitude.

Daring to act and take responsibility, daring to think and daring to hate.

The Empress Dowager walked ahead, and naturally no one dared to stop her. However, the Empress Dowager, who was usually reluctant to leave the palace, was now running straight towards the Emperor's palace, which made it clear that she was going to settle scores.

The Emperor is in the Imperial Study, painting portraits.

All the paintings are about Gu Wanqing.

In his life, apart from Gu Wanqing, there was nothing else he cared about.

Upon hearing his father-in-law announce the arrival of the Empress Dowager, he merely nodded indifferently: "So what if she's here? Should I go out to greet her?"

The Empress Dowager walked in and found it amusing: "There's no need for a greeting. I'm afraid you don't take me seriously; you've long since stopped paying attention to me."

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's words, the Emperor looked up and immediately came over, saying, "Why do you say such things, Mother? With me here, all I want is to be good to you."

"Whether it's you or me, we've always had a harmonious mother-son relationship, haven't we? Why does this woman have to interfere with our relationship?"

The emperor looked heartbroken as he said this.

She even looked at Jiang Zhiyun with some hostility: "I don't know what it took for this peasant girl to get here. Isn't it just the Empress Dowager's pity for her?"

"Before Mother, wasn't I the only one you loved? Why are you so kind to everyone else as well?"

These words came one after another.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "Stop pretending, Xie Lin."

"There are many things between you and me that we haven't finished talking about, and there are many emotions that are not quite right. But don't involve other people. Yunniang is a very good girl, at least I've watched her grow up."

"So don't bully her. I said I would protect her, and I will."

"What are you saying, Mother? I don't understand."

Xie Lin said, "What thoughts would I have about a subject's wife? My heart belongs only to Gu Wanqing. I don't like anyone but Gu Wanqing. Do you think I like her? Even if she were a celestial being, I would only love Wanqing."

After saying this, Jiang Zhiyun crossed her arms and asked curiously, "The Emperor is so good to the Consort. You two are the envy of everyone. I envy your love."

The emperor liked any form of praise.

He nodded and said, "Oh? Madam Jiang has such good taste."

"Hmm." Jiang Zhiyun nodded. "It's alright."

“She and I have known each other since we were little, and we have taken care of each other since childhood. You would never understand this kind of friendship, and you will never know.”

Jiang Zhiyun looked around and noticed that almost all of them were portraits of Gu Wanqing.

She was speechless.

It's been drawn like this, isn't it right here beside us?

It's clear that his love for Gu Wanqing was somewhat obsessive. They had known each other since childhood, meeting in the village where he massacred the entire village, leaving Gu Wanqing behind...

No, if Gu Wanqing had known all along, how could she not have tried to curry favor with the Gu family?

She was too young then to be intelligent.

Besides, they don't have brains anymore.

Yunniang felt that an answer was about to be revealed, but she really hadn't thought of it.

At this moment, the emperor grabbed her collar and said, "Shut up."

“Jiang Zhiyun, your affairs have nothing to do with me. Even if Mother scolds you, you won’t do anything.”

"Oh? What does it mean to bestow the title of princess upon me? Princess Jinxiu?" Jiang Zhiyun asked.

"Oh, I see. So Lady Jiang knew it was you. In that case, I won't need to waste my breath. In that case, kneel down and thank me!"

"I can reluctantly forgive your previous audacity."

Jiang Zhiyun simply found it amusing: "Forgive my audacity? Is Your Majesty perhaps too confident in yourself?"

"If you can't listen to what I say and do, fine, but sending me to a marriage alliance is absolutely unacceptable."

"I will not agree. At the same time, I would like to ask, is the Emperor really so cowardly? He can't even protect his own woman, and he actually wants to sacrifice me to defend our great country."

"I think you're just plain sick. You're the one who should die, but you don't. All you do is use women as sacrifices!"

As he spoke, the emperor took out the imperial sword from behind his back.

Pointing at Jiang Zhiyun, he said, "So there really is an imperial sword. I heard that the emperor uses it to reflect on his actions. It would be better for the emperor to commit suicide now."

"Look at this beautiful land, what has it become in your hands? The people are suffering terribly, all those capable ministers have been exiled, you've made a mess of everything. How can you have the nerve to kill Xie Shuheng's father, who was also a prince who was good to you?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Jiang Zhiyun didn't know why she was being so bold; perhaps it was because she was too angry.

Seeing the emperor fills me with rage.

"Jiang! Zhi! Yun!"

"Five horses and quarters!"

Jiang Zhiyun wasn't afraid at all when she said that: "Torn apart by five horses? If I die, who will marry you off? Are you even a woman with any dignity?"

"The Emperor has tolerated me until now, because he still thinks I am useful."

The Empress Dowager looked at Yunniang with satisfaction at her assertiveness.

She even said, "If my son wants to punish Lady Jiang, your mother will accompany you to the end!"

"Does Mother allow Lady Jiang to point her finger at me and scold me like that?"

"Why not?" The Empress Dowager found it amusing. "Do you need others to tell you what kind of person you are? She said it right on the tip of her tongue. You're incompetent as emperor, and you wouldn't even be a proper second-generation rich kid!"
