The crazy daily life of the mistress

At this time, the Queen Mother and the ministers also arrived at the scene.

"Okay, Lu Yi, you have done a great job in saving the emperor, and I will definitely reward you handsomely."

There was a hint of excitement and relief in Emperor Tiansheng's voice. He looked at Lu Yi as if he was looking at a hero, his heart full of gratitude and respect.

"Your Majesty, I only want a divorce. This is the reward I want." Lu Yi kowtowed. Her voice was calm and firm, but with a hint of determination that could not be ignored.

She looked straight at Emperor Tiansheng, without any trace of retreat or hesitation in her eyes.

Emperor Tiansheng was slightly shocked. He obviously did not expect Lu Yi to make such a request.

A hint of surprise and confusion appeared on his face, but it was quickly replaced by deep thought.

The Queen Mother and all the ministers also fell silent, and the atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn.

Emperor Tiansheng ordered: "Come here, put this assassin in the death row!"

Then, he slowly turned his gaze to Lu Yi and said softly, "The Queen Mother has already granted your request for a divorce, so this is not a reward from me. How about this, since I see that you are very capable, I will appoint you as a female official to be responsible for protecting the imperial concubine's safety."

Protect the concubine?

Lu Yi felt a little resistant, she really didn't want to accept this arrangement.

She calmed herself down and said with courage: "Your Majesty, I have been with the Queen Mother since I was a child and have a deep affection for her. I am willing to continue to protect her safety to repay her kindness."

In this way, she could legitimately be under the protection of the Queen Mother and avoid being hunted down by Zhan Shuo.

Between the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine, the Empress Dowager's position is obviously more important.

Emperor Tiansheng nodded slightly to show his approval, and said, "Okay, Lu Yi, listen to my orders. I will allow you to divorce Zhan Shijun and appoint you as a female official of the fourth rank. From now on, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of the empress dowager!"

Lu Yi was delighted. She quickly knelt down with her fists clasped together and said respectfully, "I obey your order!"

Lu Yi looked back at Da Qing, blinked, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

Daqing also looked at her with a smile, as if he was happy for her.

The Queen Mother also felt relieved. As long as Lu Yi stayed in her palace, her brother would have reservations even if he wanted to kill her.

She finally lived up to her son's trust and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Lu Yi was filled with gratitude and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, now that Lu Yi is a court lady, it is not appropriate for her to live outside the palace. It would be better to let her live in the Lanyue Pavilion in the palace."

Emperor Tiansheng thought for a moment, then replied: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, this arrangement is very good."

In this way, Lu Yi moved into Lanyue Pavilion and guarded the empress dowager's safety wholeheartedly.

Zhan Shixuan, who was far away in the northern border, was unwilling to accept the incident, but due to the power of the Queen Mother, he could only put it aside temporarily. However, the grudge between him and Lu Yi did not end there, and a bigger storm was brewing in secret...

The news that Lu Yi became a court lady and the imperial decree of Zhan Shixuan's divorce reached the northern border. Zhan Shixuan was delighted, thinking that Lu Yi's life in the capital was quite exciting.

Then, he carefully opened the envelope, and when he saw Lu Yi's familiar handwriting, a hint of anticipation surged in his heart.

However, when he finished reading the contents of the letter, his face instantly turned gloomy and flames of anger flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that Zhan Shuo would go against his wishes and attempt to murder Lu Yi, which shocked and angered him.

Zhan Shixuan held the letter tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white from excessive force.

His heart was filled with disappointment and anger towards his uncle. He couldn't imagine that his uncle dared to do such a bad thing behind his back.

He calmed himself down and decided to write a letter to Master Mingzheng immediately and tell him everything that had happened here.

In the letter, he informed Master Mingzheng of what Zhan Shuo had done to Lu Yi, as well as his own anger and determination.

He also wrote back to Lu Yi, expressing his concern and longing for her, and told her that he would deal with things here as soon as possible, return to her and protect her safety.

After receiving the letter from Zhan Shixuan, Lu Yi felt very warm in her heart.

She sat by the window, holding the letter in her hands, reading every word over and over again.
