When they saw Shang Xian, she was pale and looked even worse than she had been during the day.
"Is the Emperor here to interrogate us?" Shang Xian poured himself a cup of tea and drank it by himself.
Dugu Qianchen said coldly, "You almost scared Consort Xuan into miscarriage."
Shang Xian finally understood. No wonder she came here; she was here to show off.
"She forced her way into Jinning Palace. The few gatekeepers at my door didn't know the rules, so I just gave them a few lashes. I didn't expect that my sister couldn't stand it and didn't even tell me that she was pregnant. It's really hard on me," Shang Xian said, coughing a few times.
"How come it's different from what Consort Xuan said?" Dugu Lianbai grasped the key point. He believed Shang Xian's words more than Yin Xuan'er's, so he naturally intended to help Shang Xian.
"What did she say?"
"Consort Xuan said," Dugu Lianbai glanced at Dugu Qianchen, and seeing that he didn't react much, continued, "Consort Xuan said that her sister-in-law scared her, trying to give her a hard time."
Shang Xian suddenly laughed: "You've all come a long way through the schemes of the harem, don't you even have this much judgment?"
These words seemed to have touched a nerve with Dugu Qianchen, who flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
Shang Xian couldn't help but curse him as an idiot in his heart.
She knew perfectly well what Dugu Qianchen was thinking: to get Yin Xuan'er pregnant, and then use the child to gain power and status, thus successfully deposing her.
Bah! Keep those disgusting thoughts to yourself. As long as she doesn't want to step down, don't even think about deposing her.
However... if Dugu Qianchen had used the energy he had spent on palace intrigues to better manage Tianqi, he could have become a wise and benevolent ruler for all time. It's a pity, though, because his position will soon be taken over by the domineering CEO.
Shang Xian smiled, and this surprised Dugu Lianbai, who stared at Shang Xian with wide eyes in shock.
"What is Prince Lian doing here?" Shang Xian asked, tilting his head.
“Sister-in-law, I’m telling you, you don’t want this…” Before he could finish, Shang Xian interrupted him: “What I want is different from what you think, and I will be fine. I don’t bother fighting with Yin Xuan’er; she’s no match for me. Instead of worrying about me, you should advise your brother to be a wise ruler, or he will face the consequences.”
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Dugu Lianbai's expression immediately changed.
Shang Xian sneered, "It's nothing, I just want the Emperor to focus his energy on governing the country and bringing peace to the world, instead of always thinking about how to elevate that woman Yin Xuan'er to the throne."
"Sister-in-law, no matter what, you are just a woman. It's none of your business to comment on my brother's affairs," Dugu Lianbai said and left.
Shang Xian didn't care whether he left or not, and sighed lightly, "If that day really comes, even the prince should stay as far away from the emperor as possible."
Dugu Lianbai always felt that Shang Xian's words had a hidden meaning, but he couldn't figure it out.
"I've given them all the necessary reminders. Now it's up to them to decide their fate," Shang Xian said, wiping off the powder from her face as she sat in front of her dressing table.
[CEO, Dugu Qianchen seems to be thinking of crippling me.] It would be better to talk to Shen Yi at this point.
[I will definitely depose him] He now hopes that Dugu Qianchen can depose the empress as soon as possible, so that he can return to Tianqi sooner and complete the mission sooner.
"Hey CEO, let me ask you something, were you this arrogant in Licheng too?" Shang Xian suddenly asked.
