How did I find out?

You should ask your daughter!

She told me!

Of course, Consort Xu couldn't say that.

then.

Xu Qingzhi feigned composure and seriousness.

"It was discovered by my spies!"

"Alright, I'm leaving now."

After Xu Qingzhi left Chuxiu Palace.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene just now where she pretended that her schemes were incredibly brilliant.

Was the acting alright?

The Department of Cautious Punishment.

Wen Shi had been tied to the pillar with all his might.

"What are you trying to do?! I am the Emperor's biological daughter, whom he has raised for so many years!"

"I am a hero! A hero!"

Xu Qingzhi's voice rang out as she walked in.

"Is she the emperor's adopted daughter? Or is she your illegitimate child with your sister-in-law?"

Wen Shi was taken aback.

Consort Xu actually found out?!

How did she know?!

Everyone says that Xu's daughter is skilled in political maneuvering, and there's no truth she can't uncover!

Now, is it really true that her schemes are brilliant?!

No, impossible!

I have never told anyone.

Lotus, that scheming woman who loves to seduce other men, especially her brother-in-law.

It's even less likely that she would spread her schemes around!

Could it be!

Was Consort Xu trying to trick me?!

good!

Since that's the case.

Then I'll just deny it to the death!

Xu Qingzhi has no evidence whatsoever to punish me!

Are you thinking that I'm bluffing you?

Xu Qingzhi saw through Wen Shi's thoughts at a glance.

"It doesn't matter! What you think is your freedom!"

"Just like how I torture you is my prerogative!"

Wen Shi said, his voice trembling.

"Your Highness, the abuse of private punishment is strictly prohibited in the inner palace!"

Xu Qingzhi shrugged.

He looked completely indifferent.

He asked in a cocky tone.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
