After saying that, he tiptoed out of the house and took out a dagger.

As he spoke, a blade flashed by and cut the throat.

Chu Yi refused to say a word and just fell backwards in the bridal chamber.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Ling was very satisfied.

It was just because her joy suddenly affected the wound that made her frown, but it was quickly concealed.

"Hmph, I am the Son of Heaven. Just treat everything that happened last night as a dog bite. As long as I can get rid of the traitor of the Chu family, I won't lose anything."

Then, the magic mirror used its power to create an illusion that was exactly the same as Chu Yi.

The illusion first looked at Xiao Ling, then knelt respectfully, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

Xiao Ling: "Well, stand up. From now on, you are Chu Yi. Act normally and don't reveal any flaws."

With this illusion, the two of them lived their lives as usual, and no one seemed to notice anything wrong.

Looking at the vivid scenes in the magic mirror's illusion, Xiao Ling was numb.

She looked at Chu Yi, who was sleeping peacefully beside her, with a guilty look.

I muttered in my heart, we have just had our wedding night, I have just tasted the sweetness of a man, how could I be such a cold person.

This little witch has a big problem!

Very indecent!

Not only did she portray me as a cold-blooded empress, she also had no self-respect at all.

Not only was the ending of this simulation unrealistic, she now suspected that the previously simulated ending of the country's demise was also an illusion of this little witch from beginning to end.

Now it seems that I certainly didn’t obey at that time!

The only thing that was puzzling was that every time Chu Yan came over, he felt that his elder brother was deliberately avoiding him.

Moreover, his elder brother seemed to be quite distant from him, which made him feel very strange.

One morning.

Chu Yi: "Your Majesty, I have recently felt that I am unable to do my best and have no interest in official career. I plan to resign from my position as Shangshu and take leave to return home. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap, causing the originally quiet morning court to explode.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at Chu Yi in astonishment. Even Chu Yan, who was completely unaware of the situation, almost popped his eyes out.

Lord Chu actually wants to resign?

What is going on here?

Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, feeling that perhaps all this had a source.

Because they found that the emperor in front of them seemed to be slowly taking back the power in his hands recently.

Could it be that... the result of the fight between Lord Chu and His Majesty has caused Lord Chu to... lose power?
