Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

The eldest princess is a dog in front of the queen. This is what a motherless child does when she wants to win favor.

How could Xie Jinzhao possibly kneel down to the eldest princess? But now that she and Lu Changyuan have divorced, she has no imperial edict on her. Logically speaking, she is just an ordinary citizen. When she meets the royal family, she can only kneel down and kowtow and call herself a commoner.

"Why don't you kneel down!" The nanny behind the eldest princess stepped forward and kicked at Xie Jinzhao. Xie Jinzhao dodged, and the nanny kicked in vain. She used too much force and fell forward herself. Xie Jinzhao tripped and the nanny fell to the ground.

Her kick was so fast that the eldest princess and other ordinary people didn't see it clearly, but the nanny fell to the ground for sure.

"Xie Jinzhao, you are so bold that you dare to hurt my people. You are rebelling against your superiors!" The eldest princess pointed at Xie Jinzhao's nose and said, "Come here, slap him in the face, hit him hard!"

Xie Jinzhao sneered. This was the Queen's trick. She pretended to be virtuous and let the vicious dog bite people.

Xie Jinzhao's arms were held up by two burly maids. One of them kicked her in the leg and shouted coldly, "Stop!"

Ling Chengwei ran over and saw this scene. He was furious. He stepped forward and threw the two maids away, shouting at the eldest princess, "What do you want to do? Who told you to bully her?"

The eldest princess stamped her feet in anger, "Third brother, I think you have lost your mind. You are still protecting her. She married Lu Changyuan and divorced him. She has nothing to do with us anymore."

Ling Chengxu turned his head to look at Xie Jinzhao. She stood there, seemingly waiting for their execution, but her neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed expression also made him a little annoyed, as if no matter what he did, he was just forcing himself on her, and she didn't care about anything he did for her.

She loves Lu Changyuan so much, that unfaithful man!

"No matter who she is, since my mother summoned her to the palace, you cannot humiliate her!" King Zhao said fiercely, "If I find out that you bully her again, I will never let you off easily."

The eldest princess was so angry that she vomited blood. "You must be a fool. She used a prescription for treating horse plague to force my father to issue an imperial decree for divorce. As for my mother..."

"How about mother, is it your turn to make the decision?"

Before Ling Chengxu finished speaking, Xie Jinzhao bowed and said, "Your Highnesses, please chat slowly. I'm leaving first!"

She was very familiar with the imperial city and could find Fengzhi Palace without anyone's help. There was also a little eunuch next to her who had been bossing her around just now but now followed her silently. Obviously, he felt that he had underestimated Xie Jinzhao's status.

Even though she divorced Duke Dingguo, she was still protected by the Third Prince.

After entering Fengzhi Palace, Xie Jinzhao saluted to the queen. The queen drank the medicine without saying a word for a long time, asking Xie Jinzhao to keep bowing until she finished drinking the bowl of medicine slowly and leisurely.

The nanny passed on the message and said with a smile, "Madam, Xie is here!"

"Hey!" The queen twitched her lips, "You're here? Why aren't you talking?"

After dealing with her for so many years, Xie Jinzhao knew the Queen's character too well. She was a hypocritical and kind person. She knew that today would not end well, but she kept her composure.

"Jin Zhao, I treat you well, don't I?" Empress Lu said, "We didn't know your identity at the beginning. After you became the daughter of the Dou family, I took you into the palace every year. I don't have a daughter, so I treat you like my own daughter.

You are the Rouge Sword of Changliu Pavilion, but I have been in poor health for so many years, but you have never thought of taking care of my body. "

She rested her wrists on the armrests of the Phoenix Throne, and Xie Jinzhao stood there, motionless.

Lu stood up and walked out of the main hall and went to the back hall.

As it got dark, Xie Jinzhao thought about how to escape. She definitely couldn't spend the night in the palace, but the Queen summoned her to come in the afternoon and left her here, which definitely meant she didn't have a good idea.

"Zhao Zhao!"

Lu Changyuan's voice sounded behind him. Xie Jinzhao turned his head and saw him come in. His eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This aunt and nephew pair are indeed not a good pair.

Lu Changyuan rushed to Xie Jinzhao, stretched out his arms and approached her, "Zhaozhao, can we remarry?"

"Not good!" Xie Jinzhao avoided him and walked out of the hall. Many guards had already gathered at the door.

"Zhao Zhao, you can't leave unless you promise to remarry me." Lu Changyuan chased after her and grabbed her wrist, his eyes surging with dark currents, "Zhao Zhao, stay with me, I will never let you down, I will never let you down, I will treat you well."

Xie Jinzhao shook off his hand and sneered, "How can we remarry? Don't forget, we are divorced by imperial decree!"

"Don't worry about this matter. If you are willing, I will ask for permission again!" Lu Changyuan said anxiously, "Zhao Zhao, from now on, there will be no one else between us, okay?"

"Hongying is already pregnant, and you will soon have a son or daughter. And Jixiang should also be pregnant." Xie Jinzhao said, "Lu Changyuan, a good horse never turns back. I will not remarry you!"

"Okay!" Empress Lu came out from the main hall, "Xie Jinzhao, you have disobeyed me and shown me no respect. Someone, hand her over to the Ministry of Punishment and torture her severely!"

Lu Changyuan was reluctant to leave and begged, "Aunt!"

Queen Lu raised her hand and stopped her forcefully.

Ling Chengxu rushed in at the palace gate, but was stopped by the eunuchs and guards. He was like crazy, "Let me in! I want to see my mother!"

In the Purple Palace, it was rare that only Emperor Yongjia and Prince Zhuang were present. "How confident are you that Cao Zhen can go to Southern Shu?"

"Only 30% sure!"

The emperor thought there was something wrong with his hearing when he heard this, "Only 30% sure?"

"If the emperor can issue an order to let me marry Xie Jinzhao, I am 90% sure. The other part is up to fate!"

Emperor Yongjia was shocked. "Xie Jinzhao just divorced Lu Changyuan. You are a prince, but you married a divorced woman just for the horses at Changliu Horse Farm?"

"Father, Gaoji Horse Farm is close to Southern Shu. It is the closest horse farm to Southern Shu and the only one that produces good horses. If Southern Shu falls into the hands of Southern Chen, the southwest gate of Northern Qi will be wide open to Southern Chen.

Although Xiao Shengyuan cannot be considered a wise ruler, he is the only ruler who fought his way through the battlefield, and he has many brave generals under his command. He only has one strong enemy, Northern Qi, but Northern Qi has Southern Chen to the south, Xiliang to the west, and Khitan to the north. "

Emperor Yongjia hesitated for a moment and said, "Your principal wife cannot be Xie Jinzhao."

"Father, if I cannot marry Xie Jinzhao as my principal wife, then it doesn't matter who marries Xie Jinzhao. Xie Jinzhao has a strong character and can be killed but not humiliated. I don't want to fail to win over Xie Jinzhao as my ally in the future, and I will also establish a powerful enemy."

"The Xie family has a blood feud with the Southern Chen!" Emperor Yongjia said this without much confidence.

Ling Qingchen said, "As far as I know, after Xiao Shengyuan shot and killed Empress Xie, he never appointed another empress. I heard that Xie Jinzhao and Empress Xie are 80% similar. Southern Chen should send an envoy in the near future. Before that, I hope that father can grant the marriage as soon as possible!"

Once Xie Jinzhao and Xiao Shengyuan join forces, it will be really disadvantageous to Northern Qi.

The chief eunuch Ruan An came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has summoned Yanzhijian to the palace and ordered her to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment for the crime of treason!"

The Ministry of Punishment was in charge of criminal cases in the palace and was famous for its cruel punishments. Few people who went in came out unscathed.
