"I've always wondered why I was chosen to be the empress," Shang Xian said calmly, without any hint of aggression, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Rong Ling and Yu Hanzhi exchanged a glance and remained silent.
Shang Xian glanced at Rong Ling, then looked at Yu Hanzhi: "Just tell me about it."
Who could resist the charming appearance of Miss Shangxian? Yu Hanzhi immediately said, "I'm not entirely sure, but even the Prince said that the Empress Dowager went to offer incense before, and upon returning, she pressured the Emperor to make you Empress."
“That means some expert said you have the Phoenix Star, so the Empress Dowager believed it,” Rong Ling shrugged.
So that's how it is. Shang Xian now knew that the Empress Dowager also had her own agenda.
"It's so late, everyone should go back and rest." Shang Xian had just turned to leave when Rong Ling tugged at her sleeve, raising an eyebrow and smiling, "The Emperor sent us to take you back to the palace; we need to go back first."
"Hurry up, I'm sleepy," she yawned.
Yu Hanzhi was about to use his light-footed skill to put his arm around Shang Xian's waist when Rong Ling stopped him: "Hanzhi, you and the Empress should avoid suspicion in front of the Emperor. I don't care."
Yu Hanzhi glanced at Shang Xian, and finally nodded. They had almost become husband and wife...
Even Yu Hanzhi didn't know about Rong Ling and Shang Xian.
It was already midnight when they sent Shang Xian back, and then the two of them went to explain things to Dugu Qianchen.
"Oh? What could possibly happen at the Right Prime Minister's residence?" Dugu Qianchen pondered after hearing what Rong Ling said. The Right Prime Minister's residence had always been quite peaceful.
"Her Majesty the Empress said we'll know tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Dugu Qianchen narrowed his eyes, looking forward to tomorrow...

Just as Shang Xian lay down and comfortably covered himself with the blanket, he suddenly remembered Shen Yi!
Her beloved CEO!
"Moxi, is Moxi there?" Shang Xian shouted frantically.
The next second, a man wearing a black bathrobe stood in front of him.
"Why are you calling me so late at night instead of sleeping?" Moxi brushed aside his messy but neatly styled short hair.
"I want to see the CEO!"
Moxi rubbed his temples with one hand and drew a golden talisman in the air with the other. After finishing, he pulled Shang Xian away and disappeared into Jinning Palace.
Shangxian likes to be properly dressed when sleeping in unfamiliar places, so she changed into a white silk dress adorned with red fruits.
She looks charming yet cute.
"Moxi, why is it so cold here?" Shang Xian hugged her arms tightly as she walked in the wind.
"This is the frontier, how can it not be cold?" Moxi, however, was not afraid of the cold. He put a cloak on Shang Xian and pulled Shang Xian's hand to lead him directly into the tent where Shen Yi was.
At some point, Moxi was no longer wearing that bathrobe, but a black brocade robe, and his whole demeanor was as gentle and refined as jade.
"CEO, I've come to see you!" Shang Xian let go of Mo Xi's hand and headed straight for Shen Yi, who was studying the route map.
When Shen Yi heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating. Then he immediately turned around and saw Shang Xian running towards him!
He frowned slightly, stepped forward, and lifted her up into the air.
Moxi looked at them with a half-smile, arms crossed.
Shang Xian blinked her big, beautiful eyes, and patted his shoulder: "Why are you hugging me!"
Shen Yi then helped her place her feet on the ground: "The terrain here is uneven, and you could easily slip and fall."
It turned out that he was afraid she would fall. Shang Xian felt a little strange, as if Shen Yi's feelings for her had deepened.
