This Lord Xie, who was promoted to censor in just one year, truly possessed an exceptionally beautiful appearance.

Putting aside his talent, his face alone makes it impossible to feel any ill will towards him.

In addition, given the man's exceptional talent and ability, and the emperor's high regard for him, the young official became even more obsequious.

Qingyin smiled as she looked at the obsequious Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review before her, maintaining her gentle demeanor without a trace of disdain: "I have some acquaintance with this Vice Minister Lin Bichen, and I came here specifically to see him. Perhaps he can provide more clues."

Qingyin's words were quite meaningful.

The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately understood. Without even glancing at the person behind Qingyin, he laughed and said, "Haha, then thank you very much, sir."

"Please come in, Lord Xie. I will be waiting for you outside."

...

Xie Hongyu, who followed Qingyin into the dark dungeon, had a different feeling than before, especially after seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar, disheveled man lying on the ground.

Xie Hongyu removed the veil from her head, revealing her face.

"Lin Lang, it's been a long time."

The familiar voice startled Lin Bichen awake.

He looked outside the fence: "It's you!" He caught a glimpse of Qingyin's figure out of the corner of his eye.

“You are Xie Yin’s older sister. You are the one who wanted to harm me, and you also got the information from my wife.”

Xie Hongyu smiled brightly, squatted down, looked at the man lying on the ground covered in wounds and blood, and suddenly her face turned cold as she said, "Yes, Lin Bichen, this is what you owe me."

Lin Bichen stared blankly at Xie Hongyu, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, Ayu, I was wrong. Back then, Duan Ruwei insisted on marrying me..."

Looking at the man who was about to die and began to make excuses, Xie Hongyu suddenly felt tired and a little confused. She couldn't understand why she had liked such a person back then.

So Lin Bichen was just too good at pretending and deceived her.

"Alright, Ain, let's go."

Xie Hongyu lost interest and didn't want to look at the man who was still trying to argue.

Qingyin naturally listened to her and ignored the despicable man who was pleading for her.

He led his older sister out of the dark prison cell.

The following year, Qingyin married Princess Jiamin by imperial decree.

There are no more worries.

She united those outstanding talents from commoner backgrounds to do good deeds. Whenever someone was short of money or encountered a problem, Qingyin would lend a hand. Eventually, she became the unsung leader of these geniuses from commoner backgrounds in the imperial court.

However, strangely, the scions of aristocratic families didn't dislike her; on the contrary, they had some affection for her.

With Qingyin's help, society developed rapidly. With Emperor Chongzhao's tacit approval, Qingyin became the tutor of the next prince. The little prince who eventually ascended the throne, the fifth prince who lost his mother at birth, inherited his father's obsession with good looks and, with Qingyin's education, successfully became Qingyin's die-hard fan.

After he came to power, Qingyin's schemes that could not be rejected by Emperor Chongzhao were finally able to be implemented.

This completely extinguished the hopes of the court officials who believed that Emperor Chongzhao was dead, who thought they had a chance.

Encouraged by Qingyin, Xie Hongyu took a liking to adopting orphans, giving each of them the surname Xie. Teaching them to read and write was Xie Hongyu's favorite thing to do, and she was not unhappy even when the man who finally managed to return to the capital from the county interfered with her.

Xie Hongyu was happy her whole life. The Xie family prospered more and more because of these children, and she had no more worries.

Qingyin, who had served as a good official in ancient times for her entire life, finally returned to her space. She had only one thought in her mind: she was tired and needed to rest.
