Chapter 118: The Femme Fatale Princess of the Lost Nation x The Paranoid Madman Emperor of the Enemy

Yun Qian actually laughed out loud this time, "Okay, Qi Huan, let's do as Miss Fu wishes."

Fu Li was truly bewildered. Who on earth was she, daring to address His Majesty by name? Even the late Queen Mother Jiang wouldn't have done that... But now it was too late to regret. His Majesty had already agreed to investigate, and he was in a difficult position.

How could Qi Huan not understand Yun Qian's little thoughts? He did it on purpose.

Looking at her cunning and bright pair of sparkling eyes, Qi Huan couldn't help but kiss the thin eyelids of the person in front of him...

Of course, Fu Li couldn't see these.

So, this is the current situation.

Miss Su, Miss Gu and Miss Wei were also invited over at Fu Li's suggestion, but Yun Qian refused to be led by Qi Huan.

She felt like playing around, so she distanced herself from him and went to stand with the three young ladies she had just met. It would be no fun to reveal the ending so soon. She was already a villain, so what was the point of her remaining in public?

Oh, she actually thought the expressions of these three people were so funny… It felt like they had been caught and imprisoned after “doing evil for many years”.

Ever since Fu Li publicly accused the three card-playing friends of engaging in improper gatherings, violating women's ethics, not knowing how to fulfill their duties as women, and being unfit to be daughters of officials, they have been feeling as if they had bad luck and had encountered a calamity. Their pale faces were no joke, and they felt worse than stepping in dog poop.

But looking at this new card-playing partner, he looked much more cheerful than when he was playing cards just now, and he couldn't hide his smile.

I couldn't help but look up at the sky and ask, is she crazy? She's been arrested and brought before His Majesty, facing public trial. My mood is already dark and bright. Is her family rich enough to bail her out?

I was shocked and envious. The status of merchants in this world is not low. Although they are not as high as officials in the court on the surface, wealthy families can also receive special courtesy from the court.

Life is so good, really. I'm not afraid at all. Whether it's the Grand Tutor's daughter or the current emperor standing before me, I just do what I want... Yun Qian actually thought about just holding back and not going too far, but I'm really embarrassed. Only villains know what's going on. Why do villains and villains love to laugh? It makes sense. I can't help it.

Just like this, the four of them stood on each side facing Fu Li. Their emotions were so complicated that they couldn't be expressed in words... Holding the things in their sleeves, they emanated faint resentment of collapse towards Fu Li opposite them. How could they destroy the evidence in time?

Years of education in the boudoir have left them with the painful feeling of wanting to curse but being unable to do so due to a lack of vocabulary.

Everyone was already thinking about kneeling in the ancestral hall for a few days before being released...

They didn't notice, or rather couldn't notice, that the man sitting in the upper seat had his eyes fixed on Yun Qian from beginning to end...

But Yun Qian didn't laugh too ostentatiously, there was just a smile of fun floating on the surface.

The farce began soon.

"Your Majesty, please send someone to check the sleeves of the four young ladies." Every word was sonorous and resolute, as if freshly forged from an iron furnace. Yun Qian could understand the daughter of the Grand Tutor. The world is big and there are many fools. Besides, such a determined person is actually rare to some extent.

However, before Yun Qian could warn him not to act rashly, the man had already responded.

"Let the maids in the Marquis' Mansion go and take a look. As for Miss Yun, I will search her myself."

The smile on Yun Qian's face disappeared. She had no interest in playing with him in front of everyone... She felt nothing at all.

The remaining four people all looked surprised. Fu Li and Miss Wei seemed calmer, but they were all shocked in their hearts.

Everyone knew that His Majesty deeply loved the Empress, and that he had never appointed a concubine in all these years, and that any memorials he had submitted to her had always been rejected. How could it be so sudden... just... it was over? They suddenly figured it out.

Miss Yun, her last name is Yun. Once I figured this out, the rest became a natural progression.

Miss Gu and Miss Su were filled with secret joy and shock. They were able to play cards with the Queen in their lifetime and became people in the same boat... Kneeling in the ancestral hall and being put in solitary confinement had nothing to do with them from this moment on. All the worries were thrown behind their minds.

Except for Miss Wei and Fu Li... Miss Wei was always cautious, and no one knew the outcome until the final move...

Fu Li was somewhat annoyed. Such blatant favoritism was beyond reproach. She understood etiquette and the unquestionable power of the emperor. They were now merely the families of ministers. It was clear whose side His Majesty would side with, even for the sake of face. Furthermore, everyone knew the immense power of this empress. She was the first and only one, and the mother of the imperial heir, ensuring her secure throne from this dynasty to the Ming.

Miss Su and Miss Gu openly let the maids search them for the first time. You guys search them... After you're done, they'll make another hundred or eighty pairs...

It was boring to stay in the boudoir, and after getting married, she would have to take care of a lot of things. How could it be like this? Fu Li would not understand at all. In order to fight this, they didn't even dare to bring their maids, and the most loyal ones didn't dare to let her go out for fun... Now she was watched by the daughter of the Taifu for playing around, and now she was arrested.

Normally, no one could handle this guy. They'd always end up getting scolded, and then they'd argue with him, and they'd probably even get sued. Sometimes they'd be confused, wondering what on earth this had to do with them. But it was pointless. They'd never imagined that one day someone would finally stand by their side.

No one dared to go and see His Majesty searching... Yun Qian glanced at him fiercely, as if warning him not to act rashly. Qi Huan had a slight smile on his face and agreed to her wishes.

After the piles of cards were handed over, Qi Huan casually glanced at them, picked up one of the cards and flipped it over. It had flowers and words on it, which was quite elegant.

He immediately understood what they were up to, and Qi Huan was a little confused. This dynasty didn't seem so rigid, was it? How could this Imperial Tutor's daughter be taught like a pedantic scholar? He remembered the Imperial Tutor wasn't like this... Of course, he didn't know. The Imperial Tutor liked women who were subordinate to their husbands, and he taught his daughters the same way: obey their father at home, obey their husband after marriage, and obey their sons after their father's death...

How could Yun Qian know that there was a real "Zhu Zi" in this world? She also didn't understand what books she had been reading since she was a child... The Qin people have always been martially virtuous. It shouldn't be like this. Who traveled through time?

Qi Huan casually threw the cards back onto the tray, his nonchalant look already signaling the end of this farce.

"Is such a trivial matter worthy of being brought before me? Everyone else, please withdraw. Ask the Grand Tutor to come to my imperial study."

The man's powerful aura made everyone afraid to speak, and everyone had an expression of submission.

Fu Li's heart sank slightly... and he lowered his head and retreated.

The others also lowered their heads and turned away, not daring to watch the emperor and empress interacting with each other.

Later, Yun Qian had another task added to her work, which was to revise the book... There were always people who would ask, why couldn't it be her... If she took the lead, the resistance wouldn't be so great, and women would have the power and opportunity to receive education, and they would be able to boldly step out of the boudoir without being criticized by the world... No one would ask the government to punish her and nail her to the pillar of shame.

Even if Yun Qian didn't care about these things, Qi Huan would not allow it.
