The guard held his sword across Lu Yiling's face and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order, and no one can disobey it."
Lu Yiling frowned and said to Chu Che, "Let's go to the Purple Palace."
Lu Yiling did not see Chu Che when she arrived at the Zichen Palace. It was only when she went to the Taiji Palace that she saw Zhao Jie and the six-year-old Princess Shi Yi.
Shi Yi called out sweetly when she saw the person coming: "Sister Lingling, little uncle."
Lu Yiling said to Chu Che, "Take Shi Yi out to play."
Chu Che walked over and took Shi Yi's hand and said, "Uncle will take you out to play."
Shi Yi glanced at Zhao Jie, and only after Zhao Jie nodded did she dare to hold Chu Che's hand and leave Taiji Palace.
After Shi Yi left, Lu Yiling hurriedly asked Zhao Jie, "Uncle, why did you depose the queen and block the Fengyi Palace? Have you forgotten how much effort you put into marrying Sister Chi?"

I wanted her to be born as the eldest prince, and I disobeyed my mother many times, allowing the Dasheng harem to remain childless. But it turns out that she hates me so much that she doesn't even want to bear a child for me.
She even lied to me that it was a medicine that could help her get pregnant. If I hadn't noticed that she hadn't gotten pregnant despite taking the medicine frequently, and hadn't gone to the imperial physician to see if she needed a change in her prescription, I wouldn't have known that the tonic she was taking every day was actually a sterilizing medicine. It's simply ridiculous!"
