When Xiao Li left the palace with the imperial edict, it was already dawn.

With every step she took the sky got brighter.

The sun had just risen when she took the carriage back to her princess's mansion. It was a fine day, with the morning sun shining brightly. Unfortunately, the Chaoyang Pavilion where she lived had been burned down by a fire.

Lu Cang wanted to change the emperor, and at the same time he wanted to remove the shackles from his grandson, so he sent people to kill Xiao Li.

Xiao Li started this fire himself as a mockery of Lu Cang.

The old man couldn't outsmart her, nor could he kill her.

There are many residences in the princess's mansion, and if one burns down, she will just move into another one.

"Princess, it's ready."

Hongyue and Lanyue came over with clothes in their hands. They prepared hot water for Xiao Li to take a bath and change clothes.

After a night of fatigue, Xiao Li really needed to take a good shower.

She put the imperial edict aside and just stared at it.

I didn't even have time to eat breakfast until I washed and changed my clothes. I went out impatiently.

Lu Cang was conceited and thought he had the upper hand in winning. Although he called Lu Yanzhi back, he did not arrange for his relatives to escape, but only tripled the number of guards in his home.

The emperor hasn't reached a conclusion yet, so the Lu family is now surrounded by the Forbidden Army. Except for Lu Cang, Lu Ye and other members of the Lu family who participated in forcing the palace and were sent to the Sky Prison for imprisonment, the women and younger generations of the Lu family are all trapped in the mansion. Except for not being able to go out, they are not subject to any restrictions.

As an emperor, he was unable to decisively kill the traitors who forced him to abdicate. Xiao Li no longer had any hope in him.

And she had a hunch that maybe by the time the emperor finished his discussion, no one in the Lu family would die.

What a civilized dynasty! Even rebellion is so civilized.

This made things convenient for Xiao Li. It was better to have more people around. Otherwise, to whom would she read the imperial edict?

Rong Qing has returned. Together with Yang Jun and Xiao Li, they came to the Lu family with a hundred palace soldiers.

Xiao Li held the imperial edict in his hand, and the guarding imperial guards immediately ordered someone to open the door. After entering, he saw the huge stone sculpture of the Lu family called the Wenchang Pen at a glance.

The best civil official in the world, what an honorable title.

Xiao Li wanted to smash the pillar, but seeing the emperor's condition, she didn't want to waste her energy.

The guards of the Lu family were also trapped in the mansion. When they saw Xiao Li and his men coming in, they immediately went to inform them. They did not dare to attack the princess without orders, but they tried their best to stop them. In the end, everyone stopped her outside the lobby.

In fact, Xiao Li stopped. She didn't want to go to other places in the Lu family. The decree should naturally be announced in the middle of the hall.

The first person to come out was Lu Yanzhi, wearing the familiar clothes. His steps were a little hurried, but not as indifferent as before.

He was wearing a mask, which added a sense of mystery to him. When he saw Xiao Li, there was a restrained smile in his eyes.

Xiao Li was dressed in a blood-red brocade robe, with a handsome and dashing figure. The moment he saw Lu Yanzhi, he showed a smile brighter than the morning sun.

"I hope you are well, my husband."

She had said that when the Lu family fell, she would come to see them in person for the last time.

"Princess......"

Lu Yanzhi was a little dazed when he saw Xiao Li coming, and when he thought about the current situation of the Lu family, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Li took out the imperial edict and handed it to him, his eyebrows and eyes full of smiles and evil intentions: "Do you know what this is?"

Lu Yanzhi naturally recognized the imperial edict, the golden dragon and jade scroll, the imperial edict written by the emperor himself.

"Please tell me clearly, Princess."

At this moment, he was actually a little bit expectant. Perhaps the princess was using the imperial edict of pardon to threaten him, using the lives of the Lu family as bargaining chips to force him to obey her orders from now on.

If this is the result, he will agree. As long as the Lu family is safe, he will be willing to work like a slave for the princess for the rest of his life.

Xiao Like didn't understand his weird and disgusting thoughts. He wanted to unfold the imperial edict, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

"How can you stand and listen to the imperial edict?"

"Rong Qing, make him kneel down!"

Without waiting for Lu Yanzhi's reaction, Rong Qing kicked him on the knee, making him kneel down in front of Xiao Li with a thud.

The Lu family soldiers wanted to stop them, but Lu Yanzhi walked to the front by himself. Rong Qing acted quickly and waited until Lu Yanzhi was kicked down before they attacked again. Others also drew their swords and the situation suddenly became tense.

Xiao Li didn't care about that. Looking at Lu Yanzhi's painful and humiliated expression, Xiao Li was satisfied.

He slowly unfolded the imperial edict, smiling expectantly.

"Your Highness is well-read, so I'm sure you can understand it yourself, right? Would you like me to read it to you?"

Lu Yanzhi's eyes fell on the imperial edict, reading it word by word. When he saw the word "divorce", his pupils trembled unconsciously.

Until the end: the engagement between Princess Xuanyang and Lu Yan was dissolved, and marriage between men and women had nothing to do with each other anymore.

Lu Yanzhi didn't want to believe it: "Princess...Princess, you...are going to divorce me..."

Divorce is not uncommon. Women from powerful families have also done so, but it is rare.

But it has never been heard that a princess divorced her husband.

He really didn't like his marriage. He had anticipated countless possible outcomes and never thought that he would be the one to be divorced.

The emperor issued an edict to divorce her husband.

Xiao Li wanted to humiliate him with the imperial edict, but seeing Lu Yanzhi's grief-stricken expression, she felt humiliated.

Who the hell would have thought that this infatuated second male lead would fall in love with someone else, making it seem as if she was the heartless scumbag.

It's really disgusting.

"Lu Yanzhi, you are free, and I am free too."

She put away the imperial edict and took out their marriage certificate, which she set on fire on the spot. All of this was no longer valid.

In fact, she just needed to kill Lu Yanzhi. As long as he died, everything would be over.

But Xiao Li had an obsession in his heart. In the plot, the original body was bullied to death by them, and in the end Lu Yanzhi used the original body as a shield to establish his affectionate character.

She must end this marriage so that they have no relationship from now on.

Even though Lu Yanzhi died, he could not be called a deceased husband.

If you die, you must die cleanly.

The marriage certificate had not yet been burned when other members of the Lu family arrived late.

Old Madam Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Lu Chengzhi and his wife were all present.

They didn't take Xiao Li seriously. Even if they heard that she was coming, they were unwilling to see her. But when they heard that Lu Yanzhi was out, they naturally wanted to come and see her.

Unexpectedly, she saw Lu Yanzhi kneeling in front of Xiao Li. Mrs. Lu exploded on the spot: "You vicious woman, you can't wait to humiliate my son as soon as you see my Lu family lose power. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

She clearly knew that the Lu family's rebellion had failed, but judging from her expression, she seemed unaffected.

The emperor is a waste.

Lu Chengzhi stepped forward and tried to pull his brother up: "Yanzhi, get up."

Lu Yanzhi was motionless, as if he had lost his soul. He looked at Xiao Li again: "Princess and Yanzhi are husband and wife after all. Is there anything that cannot be discussed peacefully?"
