Shen Yijia happened to be full. She burped and looked at the person standing opposite her. She asked despite knowing the answer, “Does the Empress Dowager want to eat it too?”

Eunuch Yu’s temples throbbed as he reminded her, “Madam Song, you should get up and bow to the empress dowager.”

Shen Yijia said, “Oh.”

She didn’t move.

She came from a mental hospital and did not know those rules and etiquettes.

Empress Dowager Zhou closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She sat down opposite Shen Yijia and looked at her with burning eyes. “Don’t you feel guilty at all?”

Shen Yijia blinked. Was the old woman not going to use force?

She was baffled. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I feel guilty?”

Empress Dowager Zhou slammed the table angrily and said sternly, “Even if you didn’t harm Ce’er, would he have died if he didn’t send the Demon Guards to protect you? No! It’s fine if you don’t feel guilty, but look at what you’ve done in the past two days. You’ve repeatedly violated the rules. You’re simply fooling around. ”

Shen Yijia froze.

Of the three Demon Guards, one was given to her, one was given to her mother, and one was sent out.

The person he sent out was also sent to the border because she had complained.

If not for these things, if these three people had stayed by his side, perhaps nothing would have happened.

Empress Dowager Zhou saw her expression and finally felt a little better. She wanted to continue.

Shen Yijia had already regained her composure. She said disdainfully, “Oh, so you know that I’m not the murderer, but you don’t blame the real culprit. Instead, you want me to pay with my life. You’re so vicious. Aren’t you afraid that your son will settle scores with you in his dreams?” Who didn’t know how to say heart-wrenching words? Hmph.

“You… you…” Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot and her entire body was trembling.

Eunuch Yu was shocked. He quickly picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over. ‘Your Highness, you can’t be angry. It’s not worth it to hurt your body.”

Seeing that she was only staring at Shen Yijia and did not take the tea, she said anxiously, “Madam Song, I’m begging you. Can you yield? The Empress Dowager already feels terrible. Don’t agitate her anymore.”

“I didn’t say anything wrong!” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “Her son died, and my father died. So what? Just because I don’t have a father, I deserve to be bullied by you?”

Empress Dowager Zhou was furious. Who was bullying who?! She was simply playing the blame game.

Shen Yijia clenched her fists and looked at Empress Dowager Zhou as she continued, “You feel terrible, but you’ve been with your son for at least dozens of years. What about me? I’ve been without my father’s love and mother’s love since I was young. I live like a blade of grass that anyone can step on.”

It wasn’t easy to find him. They had only been together for two days, but he was gone again before she could call him father.

“So what if he’s gone? You actually want to blame me for his death. Not only did you lock me up in this palace as a hostage, but you also want me to not eat or drink because of him. If you’re not bullying me, what are you doing?”

On what grounds are you doing this?

He had made her mother suffer seven years of imprisonment. He had made her a test subject in a mental hospital for fifteen years.

He had yet to repay these debts. Why should he die?

She Imew that when he stopped at the door that night, he was waiting for her to call him father.

She wasn’t going to spoil him.

Her tone was as usual, as if she was just stating the truth, but there was a grievance in her eyes that she could not hide.

Empress Dowager Zhou paused, her heart inexplicably clenching.

Eunuch Yu and Zhu Dazhi were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe loudly. They all thought that Empress Dowager Zhou would probably be furious again.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhou stood up. She glanced at Shen Yijia and turned to leave.

In the night, her back looked especially lonely. She seemed to have instantly aged ten years.

Eunuch Yu pointed at Shen Yijia with a trembling hand and quickly followed.

The imperial guards left with them, and the surroundings of the waterside pavilion fell completely silent.

There was only the bubbling sound of the pot.

Shen Yijia retracted her gaze and suddenly asked, “What do you think of her mood?”

Zhu Dazhi was puzzled, but he still answered honestly, ‘Very bad.”

It wasn’t a bad feeling like being angry. It was as if she had suffered a huge blow.

Shen Yijia grinned. “Then I’m relieved.”

She had learned this move from Xuanyuan Ye. Don’t think that she couldn’t tell that Xuanyuan Qi was about to let her off during the day.

Because of Xuanyuan Ye’s nonsense, she was grounded.

Since Xuanyuan Ye could pretend to be pitiful and let Xuanyuan Qi punish her, why couldn’t she pretend to be pitiful and punish the old woman?

“Hmph, you locked me up in the palace!” she thought.

Zhu Dazhi was a little stunned. When he figured it out, Shen Yijia was no longer in the waterside pavilion.

After returning to the Yaoguang Hall, Shen Yijia quickly got someone to get a pen and paper. She thought for a moment and wrote:

He missed her beauty. A day apart was like three months.

She missed her husband. A day apart was like three autumns.

It was signed, “Your dear wife.”

After she finished writing, she smiled foolishly for a long time before folding the letter and asking You Yi to send it out.

In the end, what happened in the Longevity Palace reached Xuanyuan Qi’s ears.

Eunuch Wu said worriedly, “Your Majesty, why don’t I bring people to…” Xuanyuan Qi threw the letter in his hand back onto the desk.

One could vaguely see the words “Shen Yijia, the Shen family, abuse, marriage swapping, house raiding, and banishment” on it.

It was only a dozen words, but it could summarize Shen Yijia’s past ten years.

This was what he had asked someone to investigate the day Xuanyuan Ye entered the palace to complain. It was only reported back today.

Xuanyuan Qi sighed. “Forget it. Mother and I owe her.”

If he and his mother had not asked Ah Ce to marry Madam Yu back then, that girl would have been the most respected princess of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Instead of..

He stood up. “I’ll go and see Mother.”

The next day, Xuanyuan Qi stopped court sessions.

On the third day, Xuanyuan Qi still stopped court sessions.

In the small courtyard, Xuanyuan Ziming surrounded Song Jingchen. “Father hasn’t attended court for four days in a row. Could it be that I guessed wrongly? Father didn’t recognize that the corpse was fake at all?”

Otherwise, why would he be so sad that he didn’t attend court for so many days? This didn’t make sense.

Song Jingchen put the letter in his hand into the box and left the study.

Xuanyuan Ziming quickly followed. “Also, I went to the lord’s residence again today. Isn’t the person lying there my imperial uncle?”

They clearly looked identical.

“But if not, where exactly is my imperial uncle hidden by Madam Yu? We’ve been searching for him for so many days, but we haven’t found him.”

“By the way, how’s Jiang Tao? Has he been saved?”

“Hey, Brother Song, say something. Tomorrow is the deadline given by Father.

At that time, Jiajia…”

Ever since Shen Yijia’s identity was announced, he really couldn’t call her sister, so he simply followed Song Jingchen and called her Jiajia.

He still addressed Song Jingchen as Brother Song.

Song Jingchen stopped in his tracks and glanced at him. He said indifferently, “I let him go.”

“Oh, you let him go. What? Let him go?” Xuanyuan Ziming was shocked. “How can we let him go? Do you know that the people I sent to monitor him died in order to save him?”

Song Jingchen said, “I stabbed him a few times before letting him out.” “So?” Xuanyuan Ziming paused and widened his eyes as he thought of sometnmg. “l understand. you want to…”

Thirty Thousand walked in from outside. Song Jingchen glanced at him and saw him nod. “It’s about time. If you’re interested, come with us..”
