The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

He holds a high position of power and is responsible for the country.

When I was fighting for that position, I should have thought that these were things that had to be done.

He gained power by stepping on Xie Zhenzhi, but now he is complaining in front of her.

She couldn't empathize with him, and indifference was the best response.

The emperor held Xie Zhenzhi's hand tightly, his eyes full of expectation: "You can understand me, right? You will help me, right? Just like before. We are siblings, and there is no one in the world who is closer than us. Imperial sister, you must understand me."

Understanding is one thing, comprehension is another, and forgiveness is another.

Xie Zhenzhi gently raised her eyes and looked at the emperor with white hair on his temples: "Brother, do you understand me? My sister married at the age of fifteen to secure your throne. For five years, she faced people she hated every day. You said that you would allow us to divorce once the throne was secure, but what happened?"

As a result, she proposed a divorce, and the first person to oppose it was the emperor.

Her royal brother, her closest brother.

No one knew how shocked she was at the time, and no one could have imagined that those harsh words of persuasion came from the mouth of her most trusted brother.

The emperor frowned in distress, "What's wrong with Marquis Xuanping? His status, appearance, and talent are all outstanding. Even if the queen mother were still alive, he would be the most suitable candidate for you. Such a man is devoted to you, what are you making a fuss about?"

"What's the fuss?" Xie Zhenzhi smiled with tears in her eyes. "No matter how good or outstanding he is, I don't like him. Just for this reason, there is no way to reconcile."

Marquis Xuanping is a leader among his generation.

The men admired by so many noble ladies are worthless in the eyes of the eldest princess.

Why? Because I don’t like it.

When Xie Zhenzhi was born, the relationship between the late emperor and the late empress was very strained.

She did not receive love from her father or mother in her childhood, let alone the love between husband and wife.

After the death of the former queen, a struggle for the throne broke out, and she and her brother were on the brink of life and death.

Over time, Xie Zhenzhi's temper became strange.

She really doesn't like being forced to do anything. She can endure it for a while, but not for a lifetime.

The worst mistake that Marquis Xuanping made was that he did not even ask Xie Zhenzhi about her feelings, but directly asked the emperor to grant her a marriage in exchange for benefits.

The princess was placed in the position of an object and became a tool for power transaction.

Although his actions were full of calculations, Marquis Xuanping always claimed to be in true love.

He said that he fell in love with the eldest princess at first sight and proposed to marry her.

Xie Zhenzhi watched coldly and got married after the emperor and her wet nurse persuaded her day and night.

and after?

After that, she was unable to conceive for several years and decided not to have a child for someone she disliked.

The mother-in-law is anxious and there is pressure from the family.

Marquis Xuanping entered the palace again, under the pretext of requesting to take a concubine under pressure from everyone.

Princess Shang's husband didn't care whether the princess agreed or not, because the emperor's words were the final word.

The emperor agreed.

The mother-in-law happily arranged concubines, and if there was one, she would have two, and if there were two, she would have three.

Whenever a son or daughter was born, Marquis Xuanping would happily hold the child in front of Xie Zhenzhi.

"We have a child. Once he's weaned, I'll raise him under your name."

What a wishful thinking, the illegitimate son becomes the legitimate son.

Xie Zhenzhi had endured it for two years, but she couldn't stand it anymore: "This princess doesn't agree."

Xuanping Hou was surprised: "What did you say? I know you care about not being able to have children..."

"I don't care, and I don't want to have a baby." Xie Zhenzhi said firmly, "I want to divorce you!"

After saying that, she stood up and went into the palace.

Since her brother the emperor had promised it, Xie Zhenzhi had believed that it would go smoothly.

But he was hit hard.

The emperor advised her kindly: "It doesn't matter who gave birth to the child, as long as it's in your name, it's your child. Husband and wife can go further together, and you should be more generous. Every man in the world has concubines, and how could the Marquis of Xuanping treat you badly?"

Xie Zhenzhi laughed in anger, and finally realized it with tears in her eyes: "It turns out that my brother has been lying to me. What he said about getting a divorce whenever I want is not valid. The emperor's words are all a joke. My brother, do you really think I am your sister?"

The emperor tried to persuade him again, but in the end he just kept saying the same things.

Xie Zhenzhi didn't want to listen to anything and left the palace in anger.

She moved out without saying goodbye to the people in Marquis Xuanping's mansion and returned to her own princess mansion.

From then on they separated and were together in name only.

Everyone thought she was jealous and was upset because her husband took a concubine.

no.

She just doesn't want to live an unhappy life and face annoying people every day.

Until now, there are rumors that Marquis Xuanping is a lovesick man.

Over the years, he has persisted in winning back his wife's heart.

Xie Zhenzhi felt disgusted after hearing this and became even more reluctant to leave the princess's mansion.

She was deceived and used by her loved ones, and her heart was dead.

If the only way to regain your dignity is to ascend to the supreme position, then fight for it!

The emperor still didn't understand Xie Zhenzhi's psychological changes, and he was troubled by the quarrels between the couple over the years.

He rubbed his aching forehead and said, "Royal sister, don't be too willful. Marquis Xuanping tolerates you because he cares about you. If you continue to make trouble, there will be no good results. Just find a reason to send her away as a concubine. You can't give birth to a child. How can you maintain your position without leaving a bastard son?"

Xie Zhenzhi was speechless. She would rather die than give birth to a child for that man.

Since her marriage, she has been taking medicine every day to prevent herself from getting pregnant. They can force her to get married.

You can't force her to have a baby.

She didn't even care about Marquis Xuanping, let alone the status of the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

The emperor is not her, so he doesn't know how much pain she feels. Even after she has said it countless times, the emperor just thinks she is fooling around.

Xie Zhenzhi was tired and didn't want to continue talking.

Instead of talking to people who don't understand, it's better to take action to demonstrate your determination.

Xie Zhenzhi lowered her eyes and said, "Brother, we will resolve the issues between husband and wife. Please show mercy to the women who suffered in this case. They are also your people, please treat them well. I have nothing to say, and I will take my leave."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for the emperor's reaction.

"Princess, take care." Yao Buwei hurried in carrying some hangover soup.

The emperor's eyes were like torches, and he didn't look drunk at all: "My little sister is really worrying."

Yao Buwei served the hangover soup: "As a girl, it is inevitable that I am sentimental. Your Majesty, please."

The emperor took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp: "Draft an imperial decree to give silver to the women who were harmed. Send someone to comfort them."

Yao Buwei smiled and held the empty bowl, saying, "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. The Princess will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

"I have granted her request. I hope she can be more sensible and cause me less trouble." There was impatience in the emperor's brows.

In the harem, she had to deal with all the concubines and keep her sister stable. Women always look for trouble.

The entrance to the palace.

Xie Zhenzhi left the palace and just got on the carriage.

The carriage did not start. Xun Wei lifted the curtain and was stunned: "Princess, the Marquis of Xuanping stopped the carriage and would not let it go."

"Bump into him." Xie Zhenzhi was in a bad mood and didn't want to see the man.

Xun Wei carefully advised: "Princess, is he the prince consort or the Marquis of Xuanping?"
