The old Emperor had just finished approving the last memorial and was ready to rest. Consort Li helped the Emperor remove his outer coat and instructed the palace maids to prepare hot water for the Emperor to bathe.

Ever since he learned about Consort Li’s suffering these years, the Emperor felt more apologetic towards her and doted on her even more. He no longer wanted other concubines and just wanted to watch over Consort Li until she was old.

“Consort Li, you gave birth to a good prince for Zhen.”

The old Emperor held Consort Li’s hand and sighed. Two of his three sons, who he had high hopes for, had almost destroyed the Tartan Kingdom. Even he had nearly died at the hands of his two unfilial sons. Only the Third Prince was devoted to the country and was extremely filial. Not only did he save the country from the storm, but he also helped Su Qing cure his illness.

The old Emperor attributed all this to Consort Li. She had taught him well.

“It’s the emperor’s good education.”

Consort Li also did not take on jobs, accompanying the Emperor like attending a tiger. Those ten years of being in the cold palace made her only have the heart of a subject towards the Emperor, no longer having the love of husband and wife. Now, she was extremely concerned about him and worked hard to gain favor for her son.

If the Emperor likes to hear good things, say good things to him.

“Haha, Consort Li is truly a virtuous Consort. The Empress has been demoted for many days, and Zhen has already ordered people to choose an auspicious day to confer you as the Empress.”

The Emperor was overjoyed and gave Consort Li good news.

Consort Li was also pleased. If she became the Empress, her son would be the Crown Prince, and she would take more care of the Emperor.

Saiya rushed into the inner palace with messy hair as the couple was about to sleep. Behind her were the imperial guards. They could not stop Saiya. They said they could not stop her, but they did not dare to. The princess was like a crazy person who dared to touch her?

“Saiya, what a shame.”

The old Emperor saw his daughter’s messy clothes and hair and frowned angrily.

Saiya knelt on the ground without a care.

“Imperial Father, you have to stand up for your daughter !”

“You guys go down first.”

Consort Li heard something amiss and quickly dismissed the guards.

The old Emperor was satisfied with Consort Li’s understanding and nodded at her. When he turned to look at Saiya, he frowned again.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Ji Shuisheng bullied Imperial Father, your daughter. 1 went to his yurt to thank him for saving my life just now, but he…He had unleashed his bestial nature towards your daughter …He’s done evil things to your daughter. I beg my father to help me!”

Saiya’s eyes flashed with madness. She had already bribed the guards outside Ji Shuisheng’s yurt, and they would testify for her.

If she couldn’t get him, then destroy him. Besides, it wasn’t like she couldn’t get it. Ji Shuisheng had already ruined her innocence. Her father would force him to marry her. She wouldn’t have to be equal wives with anyone at that time. If Ji Shuisheng wanted to save his life, he would have to divorce that woman and marry her.

“Preposterous! I treated him as a distinguished guest, yet he didn’t enjoy the woman 1 gave him. He dared to bully the princess?”

The old Emperor only had one daughter, who was as precious as a pearl. Even when the Empress and the Second Prince rebelled, he did not vent his anger on Saiya. It was obvious how much he doted on this daughter.

Besides, which woman would use her innocence to frame others? Saiya was so proud. She was like a pearl on the plains and was the suitor of the princes of various countries. She was like the moon surrounded by stars. How could she frame a commoner?

Therefore, the old Emperor believed his daughter at once. He was instantly furious and wanted to order someone to kill Ji Shuisheng.

“My lord, what will happen to your daughter if you kill him? Then wouldn’t I have no choice but to die? Wuwuwu…”

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Saiya’s eyes flashed with pride, but when she heard that the Emperor wanted to kill Ji Shuisheng, she was so frightened that she quickly cried. She wanted to marry Ji Shuisheng, not kill him.

The old Emperor was so furious that he slammed his palm on the table. He wanted to kill Ji Shuisheng without caring about anything, but from Saiya’s words, she wouldn’t live either if he killed Ji Shuisheng.

Consort Li was very anxious on the side. She did not believe that Ji Shuisheng could do such a thing to the princess. However, Saiya wouldn’t use this matter to frame Ji Shuisheng.

The Emperor was furious and could not listen to other voices. She did not dare to raise any doubts. Letting Ji Shuisheng marry the princess to protect his life was the only thing she could help him with.

“Emperor, please calm down. The princess is right. What if we kill Ji Shuisheng?”

“Sigh!”

The old Emperor slammed his palm on the table in anger. This was the first time he felt so aggrieved.

Seeing that the Emperor no longer intended to kill Ji Shuisheng, Consort Li heaved a sigh of relief and went to comfort Saiya.

Saiya did not care about Consort Li’s comfort. In her eyes, her mother was a wife, and Consort Li was just a concubine. The princess was the master, and the concubines were slaves.

These words were usually instilled into her daughter by the Empress. Because in the Empress’ eyes, the Emperor’s concubines were all cheap people, nothing more than the Emperor’s playthings.

Now that this slut had replaced Mother’s position, Saiya hated her. She felt Consort Li was pretending to please the Emperor, so she wouldn’t let her succeed.

Consort Li wasn’t annoyed by Saiya’s disrespect. In any case, it was all for the Emperor to see. She cared about the princess, and Saiya was disrespectful to her. If she didn’t care, the Emperor wouldn’t blame her.

When the Emperor saw Saiya pushing and insulting Consort Li, he thought Saiya was in a bad mood and did not blame her. Seeing Consort Li was wronged, he pulled her back to sit on the chair and gently patted her hand to comfort her. Consort Li smiled gently at him to show that she did not care.

The Emperor felt Consort Li was more sensible, but he did not have the time to care too much about it now. Seeing his daughter cry so much, the old Emperor felt extremely distressed. He wanted to kill Ji Shuisheng instantly, this beast, and his eyes stared at the Imperial Palace’s entrance darkly.

“Men, bring Ji Shuisheng here.”

The Emperor took a deep breath and ordered the guards to arrest Ji Shuisheng.

Saiya’s scheme succeeded. She knelt on the cushion and lowered her head, sobbing occasionally. She was no longer as sorrowful as before.

Consort Li looked at Saiya suspiciously, feeling things were not simple.

Soon, the guard reported from outside the palace,

“Reporting to the emperor, Ji Shuisheng is here.”

“Bring him in.”

When the Emperor heard that Ji Shuisheng had come, his expression darkened even more. His low and cold voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Ji Shuisheng was pushed in with his hands tied up. He was previously the Emperor’s honored guest, but now he had become a prisoner. He was also furious. How could those guards catch him if he did not restrain his anger?

After entering the inner hall, the guards pushed Ji Shuisheng to his knees, but he could not move, no matter how hard they tried. Ji Shuisheng looked at the Emperor with burning eyes and asked in a clear voice,

“Emperor, 1 don’t know why you are doing this?”

The Emperor was already furious when he saw Ji Shuisheng’s attitude, and when he heard him question him, he could not suppress his anger anymore. He slapped the dragon table and pointed at Ji Shuisheng’s nose angrily,

“You still dare to ask me?”

“I don’t know; please tell me.”

Ji Shuisheng asked the Emperor in neither a servile nor an overbearing manner. When he came in, he saw Saiya sitting on the cushion and crying. He knew she had suffered at his place and had come to complain to the Emperor.

But he didn’t think he was wrong. As a princess, she didn’t know how to respect herself, so she shouldn’t blame others for scolding her.

The Emperor chased the guards out and walked up to Ji Shuisheng to kick him.

“You insulted the princess; you deserve to die..”
