"Don't believe Dugu Qianchen anymore, let's go quickly, or it will be too late," Shang Xian said solemnly.
"And you, Rong Ling, if it weren't for the fact that you've helped me so many times, how could I possibly say these things to you? I might as well let you be buried with this palace."
"Do you really have something...?" Wait a minute!
Rong Ling suddenly thought of someone, and he looked at Shang Xian in shock: "Is it that man... ugh, woman... ugh, neither man nor woman?"
Shang Xian gave him a mysterious smile: "If you know, don't say it out loud. Keep it a secret. I want Dugu Qianchen to know that messing with me is like saying goodbye to this entire empire."
As she spoke, she came across as a queen with an overwhelming aura.
"What do you mean neither male nor female?" Yu Hanzhi was still confused.
"Master still remembers me... Oh right, you don't know me, we're childhood friends. If something happens to me, do you think he'll let Dugu Qianchen off the hook?"
"What exactly is his identity?" Rong Ling still didn't believe her nonsense about being a江湖人 (jianghu person)!
What a load of rubbish!
You'll find out when the time comes, don't worry.
"But speaking of which, why aren't you guys speaking up for Dugu Qianchen?" The four of them have a good relationship, but why is it a little different from what she thought?
Rong Ling and Yu Hanzhi exchanged a glance: "Because he was wrong this time."
"We did so much to help him ascend the throne back then. As ruler and subject, we owe each other nothing." Simply put, they no longer wanted to get involved in Dugu Qianchen's messy affairs, especially since he was involved with a woman!
"What about Dugu Lianbai?"
"He's easygoing; after all, the Emperor is his elder brother."
Footsteps sounded outside. Shang Xian calmly addressed the two of them, saying, "Quickly hide! They're here to tie me up!"
Seeing Rong Ling and Yu Hanzhi hiding behind the screen, Shang Xian felt relieved.
The eunuch beside Dugu Qianchen arrived with an imperial decree to arrest Shang Xian, but before he could even read the decree, Shang Xian had already stood up and lazily said to him, "Eunuch, you may leave."
The eunuchs were stunned; this Empress was indeed different…
She walked in front, followed by a group of guards, all the way to the imperial study.
"The Emperor really wants me dead," Shang Xian chuckled lightly, showing no sign of panic.
Dugu Lianbai had pleaded with Dugu Qianchen for a long time, and Ning Jiu'er's first words upon entering completely broke him down.
"All of you, step back."
For a moment, only the three of them remained in the imperial study.
"I didn't intend for you to die."
Shang Xian chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty, to frame a mere woman, this method is truly ingenious. I can't help but applaud you." As she spoke, she clapped for Dugu Qianchen.
"Sister-in-law, please say less," which made Dugu Lianbai very anxious.
"Who is your sister-in-law?" Shang Xian asked with a smile.
Dugu Lianbai chose to keep quiet; this Ning Jiu'er was no ordinary person and he couldn't afford to offend her.
"Ning Jiu'er, I didn't want you to die."
Shang Xian asked with a disdainful look, "Where is the dungeon?"
"Ning Jiu'er!" Dugu Qianchen was always driven half to death by her.
"Dugu Qianchen, this time it's serious!" Shang Xian called him by his full name. She hated this kind of man the most, so how could she possibly give him a good look?
“Royal sister-in-law…” Dugu Lianbai glanced at Dugu Qianchen; his elder brother was truly angry…
"You're really something, aren't you? Were you the Pacific Ocean in your past life? You're quite the busybody," Shang Xian said, looking at Dugu Lianbai. "Where's the dungeon?"
"This..." Dugu Lianbai said to Dugu Qianchen, "Royal brother, I'm taking my sister-in-law to the dungeon."
After he finished speaking, he immediately led Shang Xian out, but unexpectedly, Shang Xian was in no hurry.
