Transmigrating into a book to save her best friend, her sickly husband vies for her affections every

So he had no choice but to keep it a secret, and he absolutely had to keep it a secret; it was something he had to do.

Ji Tingyao naturally had something to ask Zhao Siwei.

Thinking about what she wanted most, Ji Tingyao even considered struggling to get up.

Zhao Siwei simply pressed her shoulder gently. "I'm right here. Just say what you want. Whatever it is, as long as I can do it, I will."

It has nothing to do with morality; he'll do anything he can, even murder and arson.

"Hongchao, please, Your Majesty, protect Hongchao, my two maids, and Miss Jingzhe. Hongchao wishes to go out and see the world, and I hope Your Majesty will grant her that opportunity. As for me, if Your Majesty truly feels you have wronged me in any way, then bestow some favors upon my three younger sisters. No more is necessary. And the Bai family..."

Ji Tingyao finished speaking in one breath.

She could die without regrets in both her lives. All she wanted was to marry a good husband, live a good life, and put her grandmother at ease. Zhao Siwei had accomplished all of that.

Therefore, Ji Tingyao truly had no other desires.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I'll let Shishi choose the kind of life she wants." Zhao Siwei just felt sorry for the real Ji Tingyao, "I'm really sorry."

“There’s one more thing.” Ji Tingyao grabbed Zhao Siwei’s sleeve tightly. “You must dismantle the bridge after crossing the river, otherwise Your Majesty and Prince Zhang will fall in and die. If we really follow your method, and you abdicate and Zhao Sicong returns to be emperor, then he will have two emperors above him. His father is one thing, but he also has a younger brother. What do you think he will think? If the people around him whisper in his ear a few more times, then they will try to poison Your Majesty and Zhang Zhan.”

"You're all thinking too highly of yourself. It's only right to 'kill the hunting dog after the cunning rabbit is caught.' Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, you should decide the life and death of others, instead of handing over your own life and Zhang Zhan's life to others to control."

This was the most wrong and outrageous thing Zhao Siwei had ever done, in Ji Tingyao's opinion.

It's always good to take precautions, but Zhao Siwei didn't. His path to power this time was not without its hidden dangers, leaving too many potential threats. These people could all take his life, including Zhang Zhan.

"Perhaps Your Majesty hasn't thought about it, but Prince Zhang certainly has. So Your Majesty shouldn't interfere with what Prince Zhang does next. Prince Zhang didn't betray you in his past life, and he won't in this one. At most, he just harbors resentment towards you."

"Everyone's talking about Prince Zhang, so let me add a few more words. Doesn't His Majesty trust the girl who previously possessed my body too much? Even though I rarely go out, I know how good Prince Zhang is to you..."

"Get out of my way!" Meng Hongchao's voice rang out from outside. Her current situation was exactly the same as Ji Tingyao's. She remembered that she had lived two lives. She died in her previous life and was alive in this life, but her best friend was going to die in this life too.

"A-Ting!" Meng Hongchao shoved Zhao Siwei away, wishing he could stab Zhao Siwei to death with a knife. "You murderous devils, if you want your people to live, you want us to die. Get out of my way!"

Fortunately, she considered Zhao Siwei a friend in private, but it turns out that no one in the royal family has any good intentions.

Zhao Siwei stumbled from the push and was helped up by Zhang Zhan who came in. "Meng Hongchao, watch your words and actions!"

They really wouldn't listen to anything I said. They pointed their finger at his nose and started yelling at him. How could they do that? He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was being treated like a monster. Is this how it is?

"Zhang Zhan, you're a despicable person! You clearly have a way to..."

The moment she took a breath, Zhang Zhan blurted out, "What can I do? Ji Tingyao has already been poisoned. Didn't we go find someone to save her, or did we not try to find a solution?"

Zhao Siwei pulled Zhang Zhan outside. She knew very well that Ji Tingyao wanted to speak with Meng Hongchao alone.

Zhang Zhan was furious, so angry he wanted to kick the door down, but luckily Zhao Siwei caught him and brought him back.

"This person has an insane temper. I thought Meng Hongchao was lying, but it turns out that soul possession really exists."

“If you say another word, people will think you’re possessed by some unclean spirit,” Zhao Siwei said helplessly.

Zhang Zhan looked at Zhao Siwei in silence, "Regret it?"

"What's there to regret? You're still alive, aren't you?" Zhao Siwei took a deep breath and actually smiled. "Isn't the outcome pretty good? At least quite a few people survived this time."

Yes, compared to the tragic ending of my previous life, this life is already as good as it gets.

Zhao Siwei wore a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with loneliness, still immersed in the pain and sorrow of losing Tingyao.

Zhang Zhan knew he was in a bad mood, so he abruptly changed the subject, "If the person inside really wasn't dead, would you make her empress?"

"The Empress is no good thing. It's just that many women have reached this position so that the men in their families can have more influence in the court. They are all profiting from the suffering of women. It's not a good position at all."

Isn't that what happened to the Yan family? They sent their daughter to the position of Empress, and as a result, the entire Yan family acted recklessly because of this Empress.

"Are you suggesting that we make Xu Tutu empress first, and then depose her?"

"Let's see. There's a lot going on right now. We haven't even finished what we did before. Now that we both have complete control and say everything, let's clean things up first."

"That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me. I'm so tired I haven't had a single full night's sleep."

As Zhang Zhan was about to leave, Zhao Siwei said, "I've changed your title. I don't think 'quiet' is a good name. You're not quiet to begin with. I've chosen a few words. If you don't like them, just think of one yourself."

Zhang Zhan waved his hand, "I'm going back to sleep."

"You like this land too, so we'll vacate it for you. You can decide how to manage it yourself. You won't have to live in the Prince's mansion anymore."

The Prince's Mansion is indeed nice, but for Zhao Siwei, it's a village used to imprison Zhang Zhan. Since that's not right, it needs to be changed.

In the way Zhang Zhan preferred.

Zhao Siwei glanced into the inner room.

Half an hour later, Meng Hongchao came out and gave Zhao Siwei a deep look. "I want you to give A Ting a grand funeral. I want you to give A Ting the best words in the history books."

Zhao Siwei simply said "okay".

After watching the person leave, Zhao Siwei simply gazed at the sky.
