"Enough. A son is beyond his mother's control once he grows up. You'll suffer for it sooner or later with this temperament!" Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand, dismissing the servants.
Zhao Zhiyan frowned: "The Empress Dowager summoned you just for this?"
Empress Dowager Xu felt a little guilty, but then she straightened her back and said, "Do you know what people outside are saying about you? The Eighth Prince is such a clueless person. He even takes this woman with him when he goes to war. That woman is a vixen!"
"Empress Dowager!" Zhao Zhiyan said coldly, "Lian'an is my soon-to-be wife. I urge you to be careful with your words."
Empress Dowager Xu's anger subsided considerably.
Zhao Zhiyan turned and left.
No sooner had they left Ning'an Palace than a eunuch summoned them to the main hall. The reason given was that the Prince of Zhennan had accused Zhao Zhiyan of kidnapping the Princess of Zhennan, leaving her unconscious and weak in all four limbs, as if she were crippled.
The Prince of Zhennan cried with snot and tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, I have been married to the Princess for twenty years. The Princess has suffered such a great humiliation. I wish I could tear the person behind this to pieces."

The Prince of Zhennan, unlike his fierce demeanor yesterday, was now crying uncontrollably, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Zhao Zhiyan was furious. The auspicious time had already passed, and there were still many guests waiting at the Eighth Prince's Mansion. Lian'an in the North Garden must be getting impatient.
"Your Majesty, today is my brother's wedding day. Why don't we wait until after the wedding to discuss this?" Zhao Zhiyan said, "Your Majesty, once the bride enters the house, I will definitely return to the main hall to explain everything clearly."
"Hmph, the Eighth Prince just wants to run away and destroy all traces," said the Prince of Zhennan.
The Prince of Zhennan was well-versed in making things difficult for others.
Today he was determined to make Zhao Zhiyan lose face and taste the bitterness of being humiliated!
