Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Aside from lacking assertiveness, Yu Xiangong was also promoted by Emperor Yongwen and firmly established as the Grand Secretary.

For the emperor to issue an imperial edict, he needed his trusted confidants.

Therefore, the Prime Minister obeys only the Emperor's orders.

The three imperial edicts issued that day were written by him personally for Princess Chenzhao.

Today, he was only doing a favor for the sake of the Imperial Clan Head, considering the Prince's advanced age and the fact that he was surnamed Wei.

It's not about selling his life.

By opposing the emperor, he no longer wants to be prime minister!

"His Majesty."

Unable to wait any longer, Minister Yu interrupted the Imperial Clan's tearful tale, glancing at the tearful Imperial Clan and inwardly spitting out a curse.

He's the one who should be crying.

The pragmatic Prime Minister Yu explained his innocence to his monarch.

No, I didn't do it. I'm just a poor person who was deceived.

Emperor Yongwen's expression improved slightly. He thought that since he hadn't picked up a sword for several days, his courtiers assumed he was too old to do so.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Prime Minister Yu felt reassured; he knew he had temporarily passed this hurdle.

But he was happy.

Minister Kang is about to cause trouble.

He's innocent too.

The second person to petition was not as good as the first. He racked his brains and looked at Zongzheng, silently saying in his heart: I'm sorry.

It begins with you, and it ends with you.

Minister Kang stepped forward and knelt down next to Minister Yu with a thud.

"Your Majesty." He looked around blankly, glancing at the Imperial Clan Minister and then at His Majesty, as if he had no idea what was going on.

As for what he just said, he seems to have experienced temporary deafness.

Minister Kang asked in confusion, "What's going on? I was on duty at the Ministry of Rites when the Minister of the Imperial Clan dragged me to the Taiji Palace, saying he had something to discuss with His Majesty, related to the Ministry of Rites."

He solemnly stated that he and Zongzheng were not on the same side.

He was just a passerby.

And they are friends.

"Why are you bringing up Princess Chenzhao? Princess Chenzhao is too young, and the Imperial Clan Minister is getting senile."

They even came up with a reason for the emperor.

Minister Kang admired his own decisiveness and resourcefulness, while simultaneously developing contempt for the Imperial Clan Court.

The emperor didn't like them calling her Princess Chenzhao, because normally only the four-character title and the three-character title of Little Prince were allowed.

With such affection, sending someone to a temple? You've really lost your mind.

Zongzheng watched helplessly as two of his allies turned into enemy soldiers, even wielding their swords at him. Overwhelmed with emotion, he coughed a few times.

They subconsciously complained to the emperor about them.

But the emperor wasn't the first person he saw.

Instead, it was a pair of familiar, dark, shining eyes, with a fire burning beneath the calm, staring at him, staring at him, wanting to devour him completely.

Zongzheng broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to clench his teeth, but the collision between his upper and lower teeth was beyond his control.

The Taiji Palace suddenly fell silent.

Above the steps for the emperor and princess.

The Minister and his minister knelt on the ground.

Zheng Xiangong didn't understand why the Imperial Clan Headmaster had fallen silent, but after waiting for three more seconds, there was still no movement.

He stepped forward and knelt down beside the Imperial Clan Court. "Your Majesty, I dare to ask if Princess Chenzhao ever uttered the word '朕' (zhen, meaning 'I, the Emperor')?"

When he said the word "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the emperor"), he kowtowed to the floor to apologize.

Minister Yu and Minister Kang made the same move.

The palace servants standing inside the hall did the same thing, bowing their heads and lowering their eyes.

At this moment, the minister and the palace maids adopted the same posture.

Zongzheng snapped out of his daze, avoiding looking at those dark eyes, and braced himself to prepare to present his memorial.

The wind outside seemed to want to know the answer too, and its whooshing sound stopped, leaving only the soft sound of breathing inside the hall.

It's like an empty house.

Emperor Yongwen's voice was low and resonant, yet his words were righteous and firm: "No."

Zongzheng: "..."

To his utter surprise, the emperor lied and denied it.

Zheng Xiangong: "..."

He hadn't expected this, but he couldn't just point at the emperor's head and say, "Please have witnesses."

The emperor is the greatest witness.

He said if it exists, it exists; if it doesn't, it doesn't.

Minister Yu and Minister Kang exchanged a glance, secretly resolving that they would never get involved again next time.

Wei Qi wanted to open her mouth and say yes.

Emperor Yongwen shook his head, and she could only purse her lips to give him face.

An awkward atmosphere was spreading.

Even if Zongzheng was stupid, he knew he couldn't say the emperor was lying in front of the ministers, lest he embarrass the emperor.

He is human; he doesn't have nine lives.

Then, a terrible idea popped into his head.

"Princess Chenzhao, you swear that you will always put the Crown Prince first and foremost in everything you do, fulfill your duties as a princess, and never overstep your bounds."

Wei Qi: "..."

Emperor Yongwen: "..."

The other three: "..."

What nonsense are you talking about?

Even though the Crown Prince is the most respected, Princess Chenzhao was already on par with the Emperor in every way from the moment she was born.

Is it impossible to avoid offending the emperor?

Zheng Xiangong, who was on the same side, told him to shut up without saying a word.

He wanted to use his advanced age and concerns about the dynasty as an excuse to ask the emperor for forgiveness.

Wei Qi had already spoken.

The three-year-old child patted her chest with her little hand, her heart filled with anger, wanting to kill the person who had always opposed her.

From childhood to adulthood, she was always pampered and had a domineering personality.

She opened her mouth and said, "Guards, guards, drag him out and kill him."

Wei Qi showed no respect for life, only resentment and desire for revenge for those who provoked her.

When Zheng Xiangong heard her give the order in front of the emperor and that guards actually came in, he felt disheartened and believed the Imperial Clan Minister's words.

Princess Chenzhao must have said so.

The guards had already pressed down on the emperor's arm.

Zongzheng was still struggling, his emotions breaking down, and he cursed loudly, "Your Majesty, this woman..."

Zheng Xiangong made it this time.

He suddenly grabbed a handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zongzheng's mouth. Seeing that one handkerchief wasn't enough, he took out a spare one.

That wasn't enough, so he took Zongzheng's own handkerchief.

They completely shut Zongzheng's mouth.

Zheng Bai stopped the four guards with a glance, faced the emperor, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the emperor with a cold look in his eyes and Princess Chenzhao, who was not old but had a lot of temper.

His heart skipped a beat.

He felt that something was about to happen that would surprise him.

When Wei Qi saw Zheng Bai's actions, she managed to control her anger. She remembered that her mother had told her the story of Goujian enduring hardship and humiliation.

He clenched his fists, comforting himself that he would deal with the Zongzheng family sooner or later.

She cannot kill now.

A wise ruler will not kill without a reason, especially the head of the royal family; he needs a justification to take action.

Treason would be a good charge.

Having figured things out, Wei Qi had no intention of consulting Emperor Yongwen. She had long considered Taiji Palace as her own, and naturally, the people of Taiji Palace were also hers.

An adult's half-hand gently waves outwards.

Of the four guards, two turned around, and two waited for Emperor Yongwen.

The two people who turned around were the second son of Prince Rong and someone she had saved.

Wei Qi secretly remembered the two of them.

Emperor Yongwen waved his hand, and all the guards left.

Before Zheng Bai could speak, Wei Qi said, "Father, the Imperial Clan Minister is speaking recklessly and even dared to lead the court officials to pressure you. He's senile. Let him go home."
