Otherwise, why would the emperor, a perfectly healthy woman, bestow her upon the regent as his queen? Wouldn't that be a public slap in the face to the regent?
As the regent, who is above all others, he could marry any kind of princess he wanted. How could he possibly be interested in a woman like her who has no family background and is a divorcee?
Could it be that those rumors are actually true?
It seems she needs to have this matter thoroughly investigated. To see if the emperor is behind it, or what really happened.
Countless thoughts raced through Yunzhi's mind, but she showed no emotion on her face. She turned and handed the imperial edict to Rumei, who was standing next to her.
As for Yun Cheng, if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Dehai hadn't left yet, he would have already gone up to Yun Zhi.
He regretted it!
Had he known Yunzhi would have such a great destiny, he would never have severed ties with her. She was, after all, the Regent's Consort.
With this kind of status, not only would the Yun family benefit, but he would also no longer have to be mindful of the opinions of his colleagues. In fact, they might even have to fawn over him.
Who told him to be the regent's father-in-law?
Yunzhi asked Rulan to prepare a reward for Zhou Dehai, while she invited him to sit down and have some tea.
Zhou Dehai naturally understood Yunzhi's meaning, and without putting on airs, he readily sat down.
After sitting down, before Yunzhi could speak, he took the initiative to say, "This imperial edict was obtained by the prince himself."
"What?" Yunzhi was very surprised. She never dreamed that this would be an imperial edict personally requested by the Regent.
Of course, even knowing how the imperial edict came about, Yunzhi wasn't happy. Instead, she thought the Regent was insane. Otherwise, why would he abandon a perfectly respectable young lady and marry a divorced woman like her?
Seeing Yunzhi's surprised expression, Zhou Dehai smiled. However, he didn't say anything more. It was better for Yunzhi to discover some things for herself.
Rulan quickly prepared the reward money. Yunzhi took the purse she had prepared and handed it to Zhou Dehai, saying to him, "Eunuch Zhou, you've worked hard today. This is for your tea. Please accept it."
"Of course, of course!" Zhou Dehai accepted the purse with a smile, then quickly took his leave.
As soon as Zhou Dehai left, Yun Cheng jumped out. At this moment, he had become a good father, looking at Yun Zhi with a loving face and saying some nice things.
"Zhi'er, I knew you were destined for greatness, and I was right. Look at you, you've risen to the top like a phoenix, haven't you?"
"Lord Yun, why haven't you left yet?" Yun Zhi looked at Yun Cheng with a cold expression. Don't think she didn't know what he was up to.
Even if they hadn't signed the agreement, she wouldn't let the Yun family benefit from her influence.
Why should a family that only gives birth but doesn't raise their children benefit from her?
"Zhi'er, how dare you speak to your father like that?" Yun Cheng was somewhat displeased. However, thinking of Yun Zhi's current status, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Zhi'er, I know you're happy, and so am I. However, your status is different now, so you shouldn't stay here anymore. Come home with me."
"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'm going to give you a good broom." Yunzhi had no time to play the father-son duo with Yuncheng and directly told him to leave.
Yun Cheng's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing Yun Zhi's ruthless attitude.
However, he quickly recovered and put on a smiling face.
