'Host, the villain is about to attack you, dodge quickly!'
Yu Niannian was not to be outdone and raised her hand to slap Chen Ye, but Chen Ye grabbed her wrist. "You dare to fight back? Do you have a death wish or are you hungry and want to eat your lunchbox sooner?"
"Let go of me." Yu Niannian struggled, her eyes filled with surging hatred and jealousy.
"Do you know how much I love the Emperor? If you were a woman, it would be one thing to compete with me, but you're a man, so what right do you have to compete with me for the Emperor? Without you, the Emperor would have favored me the most. The moment you appeared, you took away everything that belonged to me. Why should I?"
Yu Niannian grew angrier as she spoke, her expression contorted with jealousy and hatred. "My first time should have been with the Emperor, but you, you slut, you're the one who caused me to be humiliated and get pregnant with your bastard child, and caused me to be completely neglected and imprisoned in Weiyang Palace by the Emperor."
"And you, no matter how ambiguous your relationships are with other people, the Emperor will never truly punish you. Why? Why is it that you, a man, can still bewitch the Emperor so completely?"
Yu Niannian suddenly broke free from Shen Ye's control, her vicious eyes like a sharp sword, "If I can't deal with you, can't I at least deal with the people you care about? Shen Ye, I really wish you would die soon and never appear in front of the Emperor again."
When a woman is jealous, no matter how pampered or superior she usually is, she becomes like a madwoman.
So ferocious!
So ugly and disgusting!
Unable to control his powerful arm, Shen Ye raised his hand and slapped Yu Niannian, who was using twisted logic to harm others, across the face again. Then, his voice was colder than ice, "Yu Niannian, I don't care if you attacked my family because you were jealous of me or for whatever reason, but please remember, I will come back for both the old and new scores. You wait."
Yu Niannian scoffed, "Alright, I'll wait and see, I look forward to the Empress's performance."
Shen Ye ignored her and turned to leave, leaving Yu Niannian behind him with a cold laugh.
Just wait and see. She'll have her day to cry. Don't think you're so great just because you've hooked up with a scoundrel system. Keep jumping around, but one shot will bring you down sooner or later.
When they arrived at Ganluan Palace, Gu Qimu had just returned from handling memorials at Yangxin Hall. Upon seeing Shen Ye, he couldn't wait to take him inside and shower him with affection.
But Shen Ye was in no mood for that now. Such a big thing had happened at the Left Prime Minister's residence; he had to go and see for himself.
When Shen Ye requested permission to leave the palace, Gu Qimu initially refused. However, he couldn't bear to see Shen Ye's aggrieved expression, so he agreed and even sent his personal guards to protect Shen Ye as he left the palace.
When they arrived at the Left Prime Minister's residence, the Left Prime Minister's wife had already hanged herself to prove her innocence. Seeing the Left Prime Minister's wife being lowered from afar, Shen Ye felt a chill for a moment.
"Yu Niannian!" Shen Ye clenched his fists, his voice hoarse, each word squeezed out from between his teeth.
The Left Prime Minister's wife is such a gentle and kind person, she wouldn't even have the heart to step on an ant. How could Yu Niannian do such a heinous thing to her just to get revenge on Shen Ye!
He hated himself so much!
Why should their hatred affect innocent people?
After keeping vigil for three days for the Left Prime Minister's wife, the first thing Shen Ye did upon returning to the palace was to go find Gu Qimu.
Without taking a break, they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Gu Qimu was processing memorials when he saw Shen Ye enter. He waved for the servants to leave, patted the spot next to him, and beckoned him over.
He hugged Shen Ye tightly, "Don't be too sad, I've already ordered that the Left Prime Minister's wife be granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady..."
