"Your Highness went to see the Emperor early this morning. He instructed me to take good care of you before he left."
"When he returns, we'll take you to serve tea together."
"An audience with the Emperor?" Shen Zhiyi asked doubtfully. "Did they say what it was about?"
Shen Bi whispered, "I heard that it was Madam Shen who saw the young lady's corpse in prison and went crazy from fright."
"She confessed to plotting against the Crown Princess and your birth mother."
"Your Highness, they went to avenge you."
Shen Zhiyi was taken aback.
That was for this very reason.
...
When Yan Zhuoxu returned, in addition to bringing news of Madam Shen's death, he also brought an imperial edict.
It was something I had promised Shen Zhiyi before, something that could check and balance his will.
Shen Zhiyi was deeply moved.
"Your Highness..."
Unexpectedly, he was actually willing to go to such lengths for her.
Yan Zhuoxu embraced her, pinched her chin and kissed her, "Qingqing, you called me by the wrong name again."
"However, from now on, no one will dare to bully you or look down on you."
Even I can't do it.
“So…” He looked into her eyes with affection, “Qingqing, from now on, you can stay by my side without worry, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else.”
He believed that this reassurance would give him peace of mind.
No one can take her away from him.
Therefore.
He wanted to always give her the best.
Shen Zhiyi leaned in and kissed him, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Yes, I'll just stay with my husband and not go anywhere."
Yan Zhuoxu held her in his arms, his heart overflowing with sweetness.
"By the way, how is my father?" Shen Zhiyi asked.
Yan Zhuoxu's expression turned cold. "His Majesty only punished him with three years' salary. However, when I used the dried blood essence on Madam Shen, he did not object."
"If you think the punishment isn't enough, I'll teach him a lesson later and make him suffer a little in silence."
"Dried Blood Essence?" Shen Zhiyi straightened up, somewhat surprised.
“Yes,” Yan Zhuoxu said, “Just as she harmed your mother back then, I will naturally make her suffer the same way, even more.”
"She took poison and then witnessed her daughter's tragic condition. She went insane and died from the poison."
"This can be considered her retribution."
I've heard that women suffer the most terrible pain in the world during childbirth.
So he had Shuofeng use all the tortures in the prison on her.
"However, it was still too good for her. So, I told Shuofeng to throw her body into a mass grave."
He touched her face, his expression softening. "Does Qingqing think I'm cruel?"
Shen Zhiyi shook her head.
“I know that my husband did these things for me.”
"I love you so much, how could I possibly think you're cruel?"
Yan Zhuoxu sighed.
He kissed her lips.
"With your words, I'm willing to do anything."
...
Time flies.
After several years, the emperor abdicated and handed over the country to Yan Zhuoxu.
Yan Zhuoxu conquered the surrounding small states, unified the borders, and became an extremely powerful and awe-inspiring emperor.
Shen Zhiyi was his only wife.
They lived a life of unparalleled honor and mutual support in this world.
After they died, they were buried in the same place.
Just as they had promised before their deaths, they would never be apart, in life or in death.

Abandoned by his mother at a young age and subjected to long-term violence by his father, he lost his hearing in his right ear.
He can talk, but he is withdrawn and doesn't like to talk much. He comes from a poor family.
I wasn't very popular at school.
However, he could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts.
"The world is noisy, but you bring me peace."
"The world is silent, and you are the only sound I can hear, and the only sound I want to hear."

The greatest hardship I've ever endured in my life was probably the turbulence of a long-haul flight.
Black hair with a princess cut, mature and sophisticated appearance.
Bearing in mind the family precepts she received since childhood, she often played the role of a quiet but not-too-troublesome girl at school in order to establish "prestige".
She's actually a cute and gentle girl with a surprisingly sweet personality.
Kind-hearted, highly skilled, and multilingual.
*
Shen Zhiyi is the undisputed villain of A University, arrogant and domineering, and no one dares to mess with her.
She took a liking to Li Heng.
That gloomy, academically gifted student who always wore a hearing aid and spoke very little.
Her father had told her that if you want something, you should do everything you can to get it.
His face is flawless, but his physique is still a bit lacking.
Too thin.
But that's alright, she's been exposed to how to train men since she was a child.
She threatened him.
Make him obediently follow her requests and take photos of her in various outfits and scenes.
She trained him.
He made her run errands for him on campus, gave her money and food, and while he was doing pull-ups, he would grope him brazenly under the guise of checking his training results.
She protected him.
Teach his damn violent alcoholic father a lesson, drive away the debt collectors, and the bullies at school.
She thought, "Now I deserve a loyal and gentle dog, right?"
But no.
He pinned her against the wall, kissing her until her cheeks were flushed and she felt dizzy.
He even pinched her chin and said to her, "Miss, your inner thoughts are really noisy."
Damn it! He was faking it all!
And all her secrets were overheard!
...
The whole school is betting on when the wicked girl will finally win over the top student and get tired of him.
But no one knew.
From the very beginning, it was his deliberate arrangement, a painstaking effort to get close to him.
self-abasement?
That's something only the weak possess.
All he knew was that if he wanted something, he would do everything in his power to get it, even if it meant feigning weakness and exploiting his misery.
He wanted her.
I was so certain from the very first glance.
