"Your Majesty~"

Qin Jiaojiao softened her voice, suppressed her anger, walked forward, smiled softly and said, "You have just ascended the throne and are busy with affairs. Just leave the affairs of the harem women to me."

She looks gentle and considerate, and acts like a good wife.

Zong Zhengli looked at her coldly:

"Leave it to you to worry about? Are you sure you won't make things worse and make me worry more?"

“…”

Didn’t she just starve Qin Ye for three days?

Not eating for three days won’t kill you, so what’s the big deal?

He was actually so distressed because of Qin Ye that he came to question her?

Qin Jiaojiao was so angry that she clenched her hands, her nails digging into her palms, and said coldly:

"Qin Ye is the wife of a criminal. Not killing her is already a great favor. Do we have to keep her in the palace and treat her as a guest of honor?"

Zong Zhengli looked coldly: "The wife of a guilty minister?"

"When did she become the wife of a criminal? Zong Zhengchen has already written a letter of divorce. She is just an abandoned concubine. What does she have to do with Zong Zhengchen? Qin Jiaojiao, watch your words!"

Qin Jiaojiao choked up immediately:

"I……"

"Besides, Qin Ye is still useful to me! As long as Zong Zhengchen is not caught, she will be useful to me. If anything happens to her, I will not let you go!"

With a cold voice, he turned and left.

As he walked, he raised his voice:

"Come here, keep an eye on the queen and don't allow her to get close to Zhaoyang Palace. If you can't even keep a weak woman like the queen under your care, you will all be beheaded!"

"yes!"

Everyone was very careful and took notes, not daring to be careless.

Qin Jiaojiao was so angry that she almost exploded:

"emperor!"

Zhaoyang Palace was Qin Ye's residence. He not only returned Zong Zheng Ziye to Qin Ye, but also protected Qin Ye.

Does he really like Qin Ye?

Are you really planning to marry Qin Ye?

No!

She would never let this broken straw sandal take her man away!

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself. Sooner or later, you will suffer a great loss because of your soft-heartedness!"

She ran after him, screaming:

"I am your legally wedded wife! Your only woman! I will never harm you, why don't you believe me?!"

"Women understand women best. Qin Ye is not as simple as he seems. You must listen to me, otherwise you will fall into her hands!"

"Your Majesty...ah!"

She accidentally sprained her ankle and staggered to the ground. She looked extremely embarrassed when she fell, but she was filled with more anger and rage in her heart.

Qin Ye!

Why aren’t you dead yet!

Why are you haunting me?

How dare you seduce my man!

.

Zong Zhengli walked quickly into the imperial study. The matters concerning his enthronement were successfully completed. Next, the biggest hidden danger was Prince Chen.

As long as he gets rid of Zong Zhengchen, he can sit in this position with peace of mind.

"No news yet from the people we sent out?" He walked around the table and sat behind it.

Wu Nu stood at one side and served, saying, "Every day someone sends word back that they are still blocking the bridge at Wulan River."

Zong Zhengli frowned.

It has been five days, and even if Zong Zhengchen had to crawl, he had finally reached the Wulan River.

Only by crossing the Wulan River can he reach his fiefdom, it can't be so slow.

"Where is the soldier who delivered the message today?"

Wu Nu understood and went outside to announce the matter. About half a quarter of an hour later, a soldier came in and knelt down to salute.

"I want to ask you, what is the situation over at Wulan River?"

The soldier's face turned pale, and some words came to his lips but he didn't dare to say them.

Now, everyone is trying to salvage Prince Chen's body in the Wulan River. General Li is worried that the emperor will blame him, so he chooses to conceal the matter and will report it truthfully after the body is salvaged.

But three days passed and King Chen's body was not found.

He didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only follow General Li's instructions and said:

"In reply to the emperor, we have been guarding the only bridge over the Wulan River day and night, but we have not seen Prince Chen cross the river..."
