Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

As a cunning and manipulative woman, she never lacks plans.

She's willing to make a plan as long as it's even slightly feasible!

Anyway... anyway, I'm not the one who does these things, so I won't take the blame if anything goes wrong!

Stand users, awesome!

"What?! How could I possibly agree to something so absurd?"

"Lanxin, please don't be like this! I really can't take it anymore!"

The Empress was still somewhat dazed, but these words startled her awake.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to express her resistance in this way.

Unfortunately... she wasn't the one who devised the plan and made all these decisions.

"Mother, don't put so much pressure on yourself. This is not a difficult task."

"You know how Father is right now, he definitely won't notice anything amiss."

Ji Lanxin stretched out a finger and shook it gently, with an undisguised malice on her face.

She did indeed keep her word—as she had said not long ago—and treated her mother with greater sincerity.

I don’t even want to pretend, I’m just like this, what can you do to me?

"This isn't a matter of whether it's discovered or not; what you've done doesn't conform to conventional ethics."

"I can't accept it and I don't have the energy to do this anymore."

"You can probably tell I'm really tired right now, and it's easy to make mistakes like this."

The Queen held her forehead with one hand and spoke in a weak voice.

How could she possibly agree to such an unreasonable request?

Moreover, the efforts of this morning made her really exhausted both physically and mentally, and she just wanted to take a rest.

"Mother, you can take this time to have a good rest. I won't bother you anymore."

"As for the worldly ethics you speak of, Mother, you've already become just like my childhood sweetheart."

"Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to talk about worldly ethics now?"

Ji Lanxin sneered, as if she had heard a joke.

It sounds nice, but who knows what was done behind the scenes?

You easily got entangled with your childhood sweetheart, and this is what you call ethics and morality?

Hypocrisy, so hypocritical!

The Queen opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

Because what she said was the truth, she was the one who did the wrong thing first.

Actually, she did have her reasons, such as suppressing the curse or something.

But it has been done, and as for the reason... it doesn't seem that important.

The fewer people who know about the curse, the better.

"Mother, since you don't want me to vent my anger, then I will give you another choice."

"Transfer power to me, and I will be a little more lenient with you."

Ji Lanxin chuckled and broke the silence.

She was in a very comfortable mood, and was slowly shaking her white silk calves.

This kind of happy feeling is the right way to open it!

When will he listen to me like this?

Don't worry, I have already gathered some helpers. It's two against one, so it won't take long!

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of passion in her heart.

"This is absolutely not allowed, Lan Xin, don't go too far!"

The Queen refused without hesitation.

Of course she would not agree to such a thing, and the reason was not because she was greedy for power.

The royal family has been in turmoil in the past few years, and various forces in the dark are ready to make moves.

It can barely maintain stability in my hands, but what if it is in Ji Lanxin's hands?

I'm afraid that the troubles accumulated before will burst out all at once, causing the entire Dayan to fall apart!

She simply does not have the strength to match her ambition, otherwise Emperor Yan would have seen it long ago.

Because of this, I can't agree to such a thing no matter what.

She couldn't do such a thing as dividing the whole world because of her own selfishness!

"If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you. Since you don't agree, then get ready this afternoon!"

"I will observe your every move. If you do something that I am not satisfied with, you must know the consequences."

Ji Lanxin snorted coldly and turned away.

As expected, this woman just can't let go of the power in her hands!

But it doesn't matter, after all, I have already caught her handle.

As time goes by, there will be more and more evidence against her, and she will listen to me more and more.

By then, with her self-esteem and pride destroyed, she will naturally return everything to herself.

No matter how reluctant she is...it's not up to her!

The Queen leaned weakly on the chair, a look of helplessness rarely seen on her face.

Why...why did this happen to me?

Can someone help me wake up from this horrible nightmare?

That afternoon.

Su Qing arrived as promised, feeling somewhat confused.

I experienced that scene in the morning and received the invitation in the afternoon.

The time interval between the two events is not very long, making it difficult not to have wild thoughts.

The victim knew what happened, so he was ready to throw away the teacup and call a bunch of executioners?

It seems unlikely, after all, my identity is there...

This was not a formal meeting, the meeting took place in Emperor Yan's bedroom.

When Su Qing entered the door, he smelled a faint scent of tea.

There were various refreshments on the table, and the three of them had already sat down, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Emperor Yan sat in a chair, dressed in a bright yellow casual outfit, his face devoid of any majesty.

His face was sallow, and he coughed every now and then, looking extremely weak.

Ji Lanxin sat on either side of the table with the Empress, but did not sit with Emperor Yan.

Each person had one side of the four-cornered table, which served as a way of reserving a seat for him.

"His Majesty."

Su Qing stepped forward and bowed.

Although I have never met this emperor and have no respect for him, I should still give him some face.

After all... I just saw the queen like that this morning, so it’s not too much to give her some face, right?

"No need for formalities. This is not the imperial court. Please make yourself at home."

"Just treat me as an elder. We're just chatting casually, nothing serious."

Emperor Yan said with a slight smile on his face.

He didn't look well, his voice was a little hoarse and a little weak.

To be honest, such a sound makes people wonder if he will faint at the next moment.

"Brother Qing, come and sit down quickly!"

Ji Lanxin stood up immediately with a sweet smile on her face.

She pulled out a chair and asked Su Qing to sit down, showing her thoughtful care.

It can be said that this was the attitude she deliberately showed in front of her father!

"Ah."

Su Qing sat down and looked at Princess Xie blinking at him.

If a pure little boy saw such a hint in his eyes, what would he think?

It’s probably about meeting the parents!

It is normal to feel confused and take the initiative to please Emperor Yan.

But he had no such thoughts at all, instead he was a little curious.

Things like meeting the parents are naturally impossible to happen in the imperial family.

If it were a dynasty with a normal structure, the emperor would first look at the person's information when choosing a son-in-law.

After determining which aspect is more valuable, it can be basically determined.

It doesn't make any sense whether we meet or not.

So now... is there any purpose behind making such a big fuss?

He was thinking in his mind but didn't say anything.

At times like this, you just need to watch more, think more, and ask less.

"Xiao Su, can I call you that in private?"

Emperor Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked.

"Of course it's possible."

Su Qing did not resist this kind of relationship-building behavior and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

If it were someone else, they would probably be flattered by this situation, right?

"Xiao Su has never been well-known, but he is an extremely talented person."

"I was ill not long ago, so I didn't thank you individually for protecting Lan Xin."

Emperor Yan began to speak.

There was no dignity in his voice, and he coughed from time to time.

It's like an elder who has a mild temper but poor health.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? This is all I should do..."

Faced with the meaningless expression of gratitude from "Yao Yi San Wu Qi Jiu VI3", Su Qing responded with all sorts of flattering words.

Isn’t it just an exchange of feelings? It doesn’t matter. He is also good at communicating.

The two of them chatted with each other, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

The princess and the queen served as a foil, watching the two of them silently.

Ji Lanxin perfectly demonstrated her obedience at this time.

She served tea and water, listened silently, and occasionally said a few words about herself.

The Queen pursed her lips, her eyes flickering, as if she was having some mental struggle.

Princess Xie raised her head and glanced at the Queen secretly, with an undisguised threat in her eyes.

The Queen took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.

After a brief hesitation, she quietly stretched out her long legs.
