C8 The Queen of the Emperor

Apart from Xiahou Qianqian and Zhong Liye, everything that had happened today was not without the tacit consent of the Empress. Otherwise, Xiahou Qianqian and the others would not have the courage to do so.

There was a reason why Xiahou Shiyi was so sure. If the Empress did not tacitly agree, then when she safely returned to Zhennan Marquis Mansion, Eunuch Lu would not have appeared in such a timely manner.

This was clearly because he saw that he did not do as the other party wished and died at the city gates, so he sent someone to invite her into the palace. He was not even willing to give her the time to change her clothes. His goal was to humiliate her and make her suffer humiliation.

However, he wanted her to give in just like that. It wasn't that easy, daring to scheme against her, she had to cut off a layer of skin from the other party no matter what.

At this moment, Xiahou Shiyi was incomparably grateful to Xiahou Qinghan for delivering the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin to her on the way.

The Empress saw that Xiahou Shiyi's spearhead was facing Cai Hua and hurriedly instructed: "Men, drag this lowly servant who does not know how to respect her status down and give me twenty heavy plates. " At the same time, the Empress's words were also mocking Xiahou Shiyi, saying that she didn't know how to differentiate between respect and inferiority.

However, Xiahou Shiyi saw the Empress's thoughts in her eyes but did not take it to heart and ignored her sarcasm.

Xiahou Shiyi's attitude made the Empress so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of black blood. She also understood that hitting Cai Hua was equivalent to slapping her in the face. However, at this moment, she was also helpless. She could only record this score and wait to deal with Xiahou Shiyi in the future.

She did not believe that Xiahou Shiyi could bring the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin with her at any time.

"Please spare my life, Empress. " When Cai Hua heard this, she immediately kowtowed repeatedly to the Empress.

Although she was a palace maid, she had been serving the Empress closely all these years and was used to being pampered. Even if she does not die, it will take half of her life. Thus, she was very eager to beg for mercy.

"Miss Xiahou, you are magnanimous. Please forgive this servant this time. This servant will not dare to do it again in the future. "

Cai Hua had followed by the Empress's side for many years and after she called for the Empress to spare her life, she reacted. As long as Xiahou Shiyi did not speak about today's matter, she would definitely be punished. Very quickly, she changed the target of begging to Xiahou Shiyi.

Xiahou Shiyi still stood there quietly and was not moved. She had already made up her mind to use Cai Hua to humiliate the Empress. How could she contradict herself and let Cai Hua off?

"Hurry up and drag that bitch down" In the beginning, the Empress did indeed have a bit of hope in her heart. She thought that Xiahou Shiyi would not dare to completely fall out with her because of Zhong Liye.

How could she have thought that Xiahou Shiyi was determined to make things difficult for her this time. This also made her believe in the matters at the city gates a bit more.

"Esteemed Empress, please spare my life. Miss Xiahou, please spare my life. " The Empress was furious and those guards who were originally kneeling did not dare to have any other thoughts. Immediately, they got up and pulled Cai Hua out of the hall, leaving Cai Hua's pleading voice along the way.

What a good move to cut off the wrist. Xiahou Shiyi could not help but sigh. The Empress was indeed an old fox that had been crawling around in this deep palace for many years. Her scheming and adaptability were not something that ordinary people could compare with.

They all say that I'm afraid of being stunned. Those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. Those who were barefooted were not afraid of those who wore shoes.

The Empress had some misgivings about Xiahou Shiyi because of the matter of the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin, which allowed Xiahou Shiyi to show off her might in Phoenix Xi Palace. Otherwise, Xiahou Shiyi would not have been able to successfully scare the Empress and the others into behaving properly.

Regardless of whether it was the Empress or Xiahou Shiyi, both of them did not speak first.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange. The guards and eunuchs did not dare to breathe loudly as they were afraid that they would accidentally offend this malefic in front of them.

Didn't you see that the Empress couldn't do anything to him for a moment?

"The Emperor has arrived. " A sharp voice suddenly sounded from outside Phoenix Xi Palace, breaking the strange atmosphere.

Hearing the eunuch's report, the Empress seemed to be relieved and quickly brought a group of people out to welcome the Emperor.

"I have seen the Emperor. The Emperor is blessed. "

Everyone knelt down except Xiahou Shiyi who was still standing there. Although she was still standing, she still gave the Emperor a blessing and could be considered to be completely courteous.

No matter what, she still had to give some face to the Emperor. It was not a big deal to slap the Empress's face because the Empress could still be re-established.

But if she slapped the Emperor's face, it would be the same as declaring war in the entire Zhongli Kindom. Xiahou Shiyi still had this bit of propriety.

Actually, it was not Xiahou Shiyi's fault that she dared to do so. It was because the Empress's reputation in the Zhongli Kindom was not that good. If she did not have a good son like Zhong Liye, perhaps in the entire Zhongli Kindom, there would not be many people who would remember her as the Empress.

The Emperor also acted as if he did not notice anything wrong with Xiahou Shiyi and went forward to help the Empress up.

"Why is the Imperial Concubine's place so lively today?" When he said this, he faintly swept his gaze over Xiahou Shiyi.

He had already heard about what happened at the city gate today. Not only did this woman write a divorce letter to his son, she was also flaunting her power in Fengxi Palace.

He wanted to see whether the other party really had something to rely on or was truly foolish and ignorant.

"Didn't I hear that there was some conflict between Ye'er and Shiyi? That's why I sent people to invite Shiyi into the Palace to have a heart-to-heart chat. "

The Empress's move was not bad. She was afraid that the Emperor would let Xiahou Shiyi go so easily and use this opportunity to hint that the Emperor, Zhong Liye, had a divorce letter written by Xiahou Shiyi.

The Empress dared to use Zhong Liye's matter to provoke the Emperor. There was no other reason. It was because Zhong Liye was the most outstanding of all the sons of the Emperor and also the Emperor's proudest son.

"Thank you for your concern, Empress. Today, I have something to say to the girl from the Xiahou family in private. " The Emperor's words were meant to drive them away.

"But. . . " The Empress was somewhat unwilling. After facing the Emperor's cold gaze, she could only unwillingly withdraw from the hall. As for the person, she herself also withdrew.

How could the Emperor not understand that the Empress's heart was only a small matter, how could the Emperor not understand? Xiahou Shiyi was still useful to him and now was not the best time to deal with Xiahou Shiyi.

After everyone had left, the Emperor berated.

"Xiahou Shiyi, how dare you insult the dignity of the Imperial Family. "

"I do not understand the meaning of the Emperor's words. " She naturally knew that the Emperor was talking about the matter of her divorce in front of everyone. But now, even if she understood, she had to feign ignorance.

The Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpins on her body could be used to scare the Empress, but in front of the Emperor, it was better to be more honest. If this Dog Emperor decreed for her to return the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpins, with her current situation, she could only agree to it.

"Hmph, you don't understand. I see that you understand very well. Giving the Crown Prince a divorce letter in front of everyone and causing havoc in Phoenix Xi Palace, what do you have to be afraid of?" The Emperor squinted his eyes and a superior aura rushed towards Xiahou Shiyi.

If it was someone else or the original owner, they would have been so scared that they would not be able to speak. It was just that the person in front of them was not someone else. It was Xiahou Shiyi, who came from the 21st century.

She lived in the 21st century and did not have a strong sense of hierarchy. Therefore, Xiahou Shiyi was not affected by the Emperor.

"I dare not. " Xiahou Shiyi looked like an obedient child and did not have the arrogant and domineering look from before.

"I don't dare. I see that you dare very much. " He called himself me and not me, causing Xiahou Shiyi to be slightly startled.

Although the Emperor's words seemed to be criticizing Xiahou Shiyi, Xiahou Shiyi could feel that the Emperor did not have the slightest bit of anger when he spoke. Instead, it was more like a helpless and doting elder.

This made Xiahou Shiyi unable to understand what the Emperor was planning. She did not think that the owner of this body had any personal relationship with the Emperor.

She would not simply think that the Emperor came to find her to help his Empress and Crown Prince regain their reputation.

If there was no profit, he wouldn't be able to get up early. The Emperor must have some unspeakable purpose for coming here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased the Empress and the others out, leaving her alone inside.

"I know my mistake" Xiahou Shiyi did not even think before kneeling down. At this time, she was very docile and virtuous. Not to mention that she did not have any backbone, her life was more important.

"I heard that the High Priest sent you back to the manor today. " When the Emperor saw that he had more or less deterred, he slowly opened his mouth and asked.

"Yes" Did he finally get to the main topic?

"Did the High Priest tell you anything?"

"No. "

"[Did he give you anything?]"

"Yes, a Seven Treasure Glazed Belt. " Xiahou Shiyi raised her neck to reveal the so-called dog belt.

When the Emperor saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Belt, his eyes flashed. He was in a high position, so he naturally recognized that the Seven Treasure Glazed Belt was different from the others. However, he quickly suppressed the surprise and continued to ask.

"Is there nothing else?"

"Yes. " Xiahou Shiyi still answered honestly.

Of course, there was no need to lie about these things because as long as the other party wanted to, they would find out.

The Emperor seemed to be very disappointed with Xiahou Shiyi's answer. After a moment of silence, he continued to speak.

"If you want to protect Zhennan Marquis Mansion, do as I say. "

Suddenly, Xiahou Shiyi raised her head and looked at the Emperor with a shocked face, as if she did not understand the meaning of the Emperor's words.

Seeing Xiahou Shiyi looking at him blankly, the Emperor frowned impatiently. How could such a person be valued by the High Priest?

Then, he did not know if the Emperor had thought of something. His frown slowly relaxed and he said again.

"If you don't want anything to happen to Zhennan Marquis Prefecture, Do as I say and monitor the High Priest's every move. If he has any unusual movements, report it to me immediately. "

After keeping an eye on the High Priest, Xiahou Shiyi's eyes were wide open again. Obviously, she was shocked by the Emperor's words.

"Xiahou Shiyi, you are a smart person. I don't think I need to say the rest. "

After a long time, Xiahou Shiyi pursed her lips and slightly bent her knees as she softly promised. "Yes. "
