The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

[He's jealous of Wa Ge again.]

[Having this happen after get off work is so refreshing!]

Qi Yitang felt a chill run down her spine. How come this person's ears are so sharp?

She spoke in a low voice to Xie Yunxing, but he could still hear her even though they were several meters apart.

It's all that damned red thread's fault!

"Actually, it's nothing special. You know Xie Yunxing, he's always so irresponsible, what kind of decent person could he be?" Qi Yitang: "I only paid a little attention to him because of my elder sister, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have given him a friendly look."

Xie Ling didn't reply, but slowly rubbed the red string on her wrist.

"I think this rope is a bit too long."

Still long?

If it gets any shorter, it'll really be tied to my belt.

Qi Yitang glared at him defiantly, "You have the nerve to talk back to me? What's wrong with you? Why didn't you talk to Jiahe in front of so many people? She's still a child!"

"It was Tangtang herself who said that I was not allowed to talk to other women, and I was just doing as she said."

Xie Ling said seriously, "Jiahe is young, but after her fifth birthday, she'll be ten years old, which is already a young lady."

Each of them calculated their own case and felt they were right.

Enraged, Qi Yitang pounced on Xie Ling and pinned him down, reaching out to pinch his face; the latter simply lay down, adopting a "do whatever you want" attitude.

As the two were arguing, a gust of wind lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.

Qi Yitang glanced out the window unintentionally, and suddenly stopped.

Xie Ling was propping himself up and leaning over to kiss her when she was suddenly pressed down on the face.

"etc."

Qi Yitang was practically clinging to the window frame, peering out. Xie Ling asked, "Tangtang, what are you looking at?"

Qi Yitang's eyes widened suddenly. "Stop the car!"

Hearing this from outside, Li Degui immediately told the driver to stop. "Madam, what's wrong?"

Xie Ling sat up straight. "What happened?"

There was no time to explain. Qi Yitang took Xie Ling's hand and jumped off the carriage. "Don't say anything, come with me."

Seeing the Empress hurriedly leading His Majesty away, Li Degui instinctively wanted to follow, but then Xie Ling made a gesture, so he had to swallow his doubts and wait where he was.

Fortunately, he had bodyguards with him, so nothing bad happened. Li Degui then had the carriage moved to the side of the road so as not to obstruct traffic.

Over here, Xie Ling asked, "Tangtang, who did you see?"

Qi Yitang frowned. "Look at that guy in front, doesn't he look like my fourth brother-in-law?"

Gu Ziye?

Xie Ling followed her gaze and saw that the person in front of her was tall and broad-shouldered; it was indeed Gu Ziye.

He was carrying a brocade box, walking hurriedly, heading in the opposite direction from the Princess's residence.

A woman's sixth sense kicks in. Today is Jiahe's birthday. He's not at home with his wife and daughters. As soon as they left, he sneaked out. What was he up to?

Qi Yitang felt there was something fishy going on.

"Yanzhi, let's keep our voices down." She wanted to see what he was up to.

The two followed one after the other. When they saw Gu Ziye turn the corner and his figure was about to disappear into the alley, Qi Yitang quickened her pace.

"Keep up!"

After many twists and turns, we arrived at a secluded back alley.

Gu Ziye walked to the entrance of a certain courtyard house, looked around, and Qi Yitang quickly hid around the corner with Xie Ling.

Gu Ziye pushed the door open and went in, then casually closed it behind him.

Separated by a courtyard wall, the situation inside could not be clearly seen.

Qi Yitang was getting anxious when Xie Ling suddenly reached out and put his arm around her waist. "Come with me."

He led her around to the back of the house, and with a light touch of his toes, he landed gracefully on the roof with Qi Yitang.

The two men lay hidden behind the arched roof ridge.

Just then, a little boy, about four or five years old, jumped out and happily ran into Gu Ziye's arms, calling out—

"Father!"

Qi Yitang was completely stunned.

The boy complained, "Why is Daddy taking so long? Mommy and I are getting impatient."

Gu Ziye bent down and picked up the little boy, his face beaming with undisguised joy, a stark contrast to his humble and taciturn demeanor at the Princess's residence.

"Father is naturally preparing a surprise for Tao'er. Here, his birthday present."

"Wow, thank you, Daddy!"

Immediately afterwards, a young woman came out of the house. She had a gentle face and was carrying an outer robe. She draped it over Gu Ziye's shoulders reproachfully, "Why are you dressed so lightly again? You'll catch a cold. Come inside quickly."

Gu Ziye smiled and put his arm around the woman. "Yun'er is the most considerate. Did you miss me?"

"What are you saying in front of the child? Don't you have any shame?" The woman blushed and pushed him away, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the inner room. The little boy leaned on Gu Ziye's shoulder, their intimate and natural demeanor making them look like a happy and fulfilling family of three.

Qi Yitang was not blind or deaf; he could see everything clearly.

Because I saw it with my own eyes, I was horrified—my elder sister had been cuckolded!

That scoundrel, how dare he!

Qi Yitang clenched her fists, wishing she could rush down and drag that adulterous couple out to beat them up, but she was afraid of alerting them.

Xie Ling put his hand on her shoulder. "Tangtang, let's go back to the palace first."

……

Inside Yaotang Palace, Qi Yitang paced back and forth.

She hated herself for having such sharp eyes; how could she have spotted Gu Ziye's furtive figure right there in the carriage?

Now that we know this secret, we don't know what to do.

Should we keep it from them for now?

Or should I just go and tell my sister that she's being cheated on and that her husband is having an affair?

But today is Jiahe's birthday. The little girl was happily celebrating her birthday one minute, and then they told her, "You have a little brother now..."

wrong--

Qi Yitang shuddered; who knows, he might not even be the younger brother yet.

The boy looked no younger than Jiahe. Gu Ziye said he had prepared a birthday gift in his hand. Could it be that his illegitimate son was born on the same day as Jiahe?

If you count the days, when Gu Ziye was having an affair with that woman, Jiahe was still in her elder sister's belly.

Damn it!

Qi Yitang grew angrier and more conflicted as he thought about it, pacing back and forth in the palace until Yunzhu became dizzy.

This resentment lingered until they slept together that night.

Xie Ling asked, "Still dwelling on what happened during the day?"

"Yanzhi," Qi Yitang rolled over and nestled against Xie Ling's chest, "what do you think? Should I tell my elder sister?"

Now that the Empress is being deceived, and Jiahe is also unaware, Gu Ziye is a good husband and a good father to them.

If she were to expose them, her happy family would be shattered in an instant.

This originally had nothing to do with Qi Yitang, but she didn't want Jiahe to dislike her because of it.

Just like the crow, which is clearly a warning bird, it is regarded as the embodiment of disaster and an ominous bird.

But if she didn't say anything, Qi Yitang simply couldn't bear it.

Seeing her brows furrowed into a knot, Xie Ling countered, "Tangtang, if it were you, would you rather be kept in the dark and live a life of ignorance, or would you rather know the truth?"
