"What did you say?"
When the Empress—no, now just an ordinary person named Jiang—heard this news in the palace, she instantly jumped up from her chair.
Jiang Wuyou, who was standing to the side, was also shocked. Seeing this, she quickly helped Jiang Shi to stand aside.
The two men looked anxiously at the young eunuch who had come to deliver the message, desperately hoping that they had heard a false report.
"Your Majesty, the messenger is on his way, and things are probably..."
Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Jiang Wuyou immediately turned to look at his aunt, seeking comfort.
"aunt!"
However, Jiang was too busy to care about Jiang Wuyou at the moment. She was barely able to protect herself, so she had no time to worry about Jiang Wuyou.
What is divorce?
Is there such a thing as divorce among royalty?
Jiang never expected things to get so out of control. She had only been away from the palace for a few months and was still trying to find a way back when she was sentenced to death.
"Has His Majesty been bewitched by some little vixen? I don't believe it! His Majesty wouldn't treat me like this!"
Jiang has gone mad. She has worked hard for half her life and was only one step away from becoming Empress Dowager, but it all vanished in an instant. Who wouldn't be devastated in this situation?
“Aunt, things haven’t gotten to the worst yet. We’ll beg the Emperor to rescind his order, and we’ll also ask Father to submit a petition to the Emperor!”
Jiang Wuyou panicked too. Her aunt was the Empress, which gave her the confidence to marry Prince Jing as his principal wife. If her aunt became the deposed Empress...
She dared not think about what other bargaining chips she had left to help Prince Jing, or what other value she still possessed.
Unfortunately, no one heard Jiang Wuyou's heartfelt words, and their pleas were of no use, because Eunuch Ye from the Imperial Household Department came in person to deliver the imperial decree!
"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."
No matter how panicked Jiang Shi and Jiang Wuyou were, or how much they wanted to refuse the imperial decree, they had no choice but to accept it helplessly.
The aunt and niece were heartbroken and discussed whether there was a good way to salvage the situation, while Liu Lingxi was also stunned by the sudden imperial decree.
"What? The Emperor and Empress are divorcing?"
Liu Lingxi was tormented twice last night, and only lazily washed up when the sun was high in the sky, and was served lunch by Ye Zhi.
Seeing her master's listless appearance, Ye Zhi felt sorry for her and gathered information to tell Liu Lingxi. Her usually bright eyes were now lifeless.
Although she didn't know what had happened last night, she had been specifically instructed by Eunuch Ye this morning not to ask.
Ye Zhi told Liu Lingxi everything she had heard, hoping that her mistress would feel better and not develop any pent-up emotions.
Liu Lingxi was stunned by the news she brought.
Suddenly, I remembered the man's deep, sexy voice and the things he kept rambling on last night.
No...it's because of her, isn't it...?
This is wrong, it's off track, and it makes people lose their composure.
Just then, Liu Lingxi stopped stirring the spoon, and the person who already had little appetite lost all desire to eat.
"What are you thinking about, Xi'er? Did lunch not suit your taste?"
The man arrived at some unknown time, and his soft, reproachful voice was both ticklish and like a thunderclap.
Liu Lingxi suddenly remembered the man's unbearable panting last night, and her face flushed red instantly, like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite to see if it was sweet.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
When Liu Lingxi came to her senses and tried to bow, she found that all the palace servants were gone, and even Ye Zhi had left silently, leaving only the two of them in the hall...
The atmosphere gradually changed—
