Emperor Yuan'an suddenly summoned Chu Yizhao into the palace.

The emperor, who was sitting on the high throne, said with a smile, "Back then, you and the daughter of the Zhang family had a huge quarrel, but now you have become relatives."

Chu Yizhao bowed his head, "The embroidery ball is destined by heaven, a perfect match made in heaven. I was ignorant before."

Emperor Yuan An smiled subtly, "Heaven's will? Heaven hears the hearts of people."

"Sister Zhang has a pretty face and big brother fell in love with her at first sight." Chu Yizhao said with a smile.

Emperor Yuan An's smile faded, and he frowned slightly, "I know you have conflicts with her, but when she gets married, she will be your eldest sister-in-law, in charge of the household. The courtiers and the backyard are beyond the reach of me and the empress dowager, so don't act like this anymore, or you'll suffer."

His earnest words made Chu Yizhao feel strange. She originally meant to hint that Zhang Ruyi was cheating and whether Emperor Yuan An was too intimate to her.

Emperor Yuan An didn't know what she was thinking, so he talked about business. "Zhang Fan had submitted a letter earlier, hoping that his only daughter could get married before the New Year, so he planned to choose a husband on the eighth day of the first lunar month and get married on the fifteenth day. But Chu Qing was tied up in official duties and couldn't make it back in the middle of the month."

Chu Yizhao smiled and remained silent.

With such a beautiful woman in his arms, Chu Huai couldn't bear to come back...

Seeing that she was silent, Emperor Yuan An continued, "Zhao is bedridden, and the Marquisate has no master or queen mother. We didn't propose or have the six rites, so the wedding was hastily held, and it was bound to be shabby. I thought that I would wait for Chu Qing to come back, and then choose an auspicious day to marry your elder brother and the daughter of the Zhang family, but your brother wrote a letter yesterday, wanting to get married on the originally scheduled fifteenth day."

"You are the young master of the Marquis' Mansion. I called you here to ask for your opinion."

Chu Yizhao's eyes flickered slightly. Was he dissatisfied with this marriage and wanted to use her to postpone the wedding date?

She considered it over and over again, and said with embarrassment, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, but my eldest brother has always had his own ideas and doesn't like others to interfere. I have been mixing pills for the Prince of Yue and the Princess, and have been staying in the pharmacy in the outer courtyard. I haven't returned home for many days."

"Since my elder brother chose fifteen, there must be a reason for it. I dare not say more..."

After the words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.

Emperor Yuan An smiled, and cast a faint scrutinizing gaze on Chu Yizhao. The emperor's pressure filled the quiet and empty palace. Chu Yizhao's breathing tightened, and when he was about to kneel down to apologize, a light laugh escaped from his head.

"Well, if that's the case, I can't force you to do anything."

"Fifteen is fifteen."

He turned the page, as if nothing had happened, and put the yellow paper in his hand aside.

Chu Yizhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yunyu was anxious to get married, but he hid it from Chu Huai. Chu Huai got married late, and he always felt that a man should build a career before starting a family, and treat his wife with dignity instead of relying on nepotism.

Besides, Zhang Fan has already aroused the emperor's suspicion, and Chu Huai is cunning and treacherous. If he comes back, he will definitely not agree to this marriage.

How can that be possible...

Emperor Yuan An stared at Chu Yizhao and asked casually, "Tomorrow is Shen Zheng's birthday. Have you prepared your gift?"

Chu Yizhao was laughing at Chu Yunyu in his heart, and was stunned when he heard this, "I am injured and cannot go."

"If you can't go, why don't you prepare a gift?"

Emperor Yuan An saw her matter-of-fact expression and was speechless, "How can a dignified uncle of the emperor not afford a piece of gold or silver from you?"

Chu Yizhao was a little confused, "Do I have to give it to you even if I don't want to attend the banquet..."

"... "

"Then I, your servant, go back and prepare..."

Emperor Yuan An's expression was indescribable. "Alright, Li Dequan, send the backup gift to Shen Zheng on behalf of Chu A Ming."

"It saves her from not being able to have a meal and feeling bad about the gift she gave me."

The personal eunuch beside him tried to hold back his laughter.

Chu Yizhao blushed. That’s not what she meant…

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

She fled away with her limping leg.

Emperor Yuan An murmured to the people around him, "This child is so careless and doesn't understand the ways of the world at all."

"She can't even talk, she's ugly as a demon, and she's praising me for having a pretty face? How stupid! When Zhang Ruyi gets married, I don't know how much trouble she'll have to endure."

Every word he said was derogatory, and Li Dequan knew it clearly in his heart, "Miss Chu is innocent and adorable at that age, how could she think so much."

"You and the Queen Mother still need to teach me."

Emperor Yuan An's gaze fell on the table.

There were two memorials on the imperial desk, one impeaching Wei Chenyun for abusing his power to bully others, and the other accusing Ji Fuqing of violating the law.

The censorship was originally a trivial matter, but after investigating, they found that both of them had conflicts with Chu Yizhao...

Saving people is a good thing, but if you use it for personal gain, that is not very proper.

He wanted to test...

But it turned out to be a failure!

Emperor Yuan An was a little annoyed. "She is the most heartless person in the entire Chu family. She made the Queen Mother sick a few days ago. How many people would love to have the honor of accompanying the Emperor, but she pushed it away with her hands in her pockets..."

"This dog's temper... is always the same..."

"... "

Chu Yizhao walked out of the Qinzheng Hall. A team of patrolling guards passed by. The leading four-legged insect turned his head and blinked at Chu Yizhao, then strode away in a serious manner.

"Looks like a human but looks like a dog." Chu Yizhao muttered.

"Miss Fifth."

Chu Yizhao turned around when he heard the voice, and his eyes fixed after seeing the person clearly.

The pearl hairpin shines brightly, and the person sitting on the table holds the tea lid and leisurely skims the foam on the surface of the tea.

Chu Yizhao's right leg was aching from standing there. She couldn't help but ask, "Madam Shufei, you called me here, is there something wrong?"

"presumptuous."

Zhao Yuzhen put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table and scolded, "It's been a long time since we last met, and you don't know the rules anymore."

"Your Majesty!"

Chu Yizhao frowned. She had just come out of the Qinzheng Palace, and this man dared to pick a fight...

"I have done nothing wrong, why should I kneel..."

"Nothing wrong?"

Zhao Yuzhen sneered, "You abandoned your sick mother in the backyard and moved away from home. You are a young lady from an official family, but you are so disobedient and shameless. Now you still don't repent and question me..."

"Chu Huai has really been spoiled by you. He doesn't know how to teach, so I will teach him!"

"Come here, drag him out and give him twenty slaps in the face!"

The people around him received the order and approached Chu Yizhao with a fierce look in their eyes. Chu Yizhao's eyes turned cold. No wonder Huaichun was detained outside the palace. It turned out that they wanted to lynch her.

"Who dares!"

She warned, "I am the legitimate daughter of a first-rank marquis, and the savior of the empress dowager. Even the empress dowager has no right to torture me!"

Chu Yizhao stared at Zhao Yuzhen, "My Lady, you know the reason why my mother is ill. I will not pursue the matter out of consideration for the relationship between mother and daughter. Please do not force me..."

"How dare you!" Zhao Yuzhen was furious. "Rebellion! Rebellion! How dare you threaten me!"

She didn't think about Chu Yizhao's words at all. Her mind was filled with the man's face as he stiffened his neck and retorted.

Compared to the gentle Chu Yingxue, she is as annoying as a stinky stone.

"Come here, no need to slap him, just drag him out and give him thirty canes!"

"Let me see, who is harder, your bones or my stick!"

The strong nanny pressed down on Chu Yizhao's shoulders. Before she could take out the medicine powder, she was restrained, her mouth was blocked and she was dragged out.

“You…wuwu!”

Chu Yizhao thought to himself that this was not good.

It was so blatant. Chu Huai was right. Zhao Yuzhen didn't know the pros and cons. She was just a brainless idiot!

The bench for punishment was placed in the courtyard in front of the palace. It was completely black and still had stains of old blood on it.

Gong Ma escorted Chu Yizhao out of the palace gate. Huaichun saw this and screamed, "Miss!"

Two palace maids held her tightly.

Chu Yizhao wanted to curse.

Qiaoyu is on vacation, but today she happens to be feeling anxious!

You ** Zhao Yuzhen!

She cursed in her heart, when I get back, I will make you get sores on your buttocks and pus on the soles of your feet!

Chu Yizhao struggled and was pressed on the bench. The rag in her mouth made her cheek hurt. Zhao Yuzhen supported the hand of the palace maid and looked down at her with contempt. "I have always believed that dogs are unfaithful if they are not beaten, but my silly sister was too soft-hearted and ended up with hemiplegia."

"A son must repay his mother's kindness. Since you don't want to serve me, I will break your legs and let you have a taste of hemiplegia!"

"Execution!"

Damn it!

Chu Yizhao cursed loudly.

This bunch of mad dogs, each one of them wants her legs.

"Yo~ what are you doing?"
