Xiao Li went to the Emperor’s study, and Xiao Jingyi emerged from somewhere, quickly pulling her away, his face full of disapproval: “Imperial Sister, why did you come here with that person?”
Xiao Li: “Who is he? Are you afraid of him?”
“You don’t recognize Eunuch in charge of incense Lou Yan?”
Xiao Jingyi thought about how Xiao Li had been pursuing Lu Yanzhi, so it wasn’t strange that she didn’t recognize him.
“He was promoted to Grand Eunuch last month. Don’t let his young age fool you; he’s ruthless. He used to work at the Department of Punishment, doing work that involved flaying people alive.”
“Others climbed the ranks through age and seniority, but he killed his way to the top. Whoever was his superior, he would take them down. The previous Eunuch in charge of incense died at his hands, and several competitors also died one after another, until finally it was his turn.”
It was clear that Xiao Jingyi was genuinely afraid of that eunuch: “I don’t know what Imperial Brother was thinking, keeping such a vicious person by his side. It’s so frightening.”
Xiao Li wasn’t surprised: An Empress couldn’t be without handy Weapons.
This Lou Yan was clearly a blade that the Emperor used skillfully, which explained his cold and hostile aura.
Of course, such an Empress’s executioner would inevitably be killed by those who came after him to demonstrate their power.
Emperor Xiao Jingyun seemed to be in a good mood, having people prepare tea for them.
“Xuanyang, you did well tonight. Imperial Brother is very pleased. Imperial Brother knew you wouldn’t abandon Lu Yanzhi, that you would turn back from your mistake. It’s not too late, and Imperial Brother is happy for you.”
The Emperor was being condescending, and Xiao Li put down her Teacup, her face vicious: “Imperial Brother is wrong. I just can’t swallow that breath.”
“Lu Yanzhi ignored me for three years, not even letting me touch a finger. If I divorced him just like that, wouldn’t I be letting him off easy?”
“Hmph, he made me suffer for three years, and I absolutely won’t let him have it easy. He doesn’t want to be a Consort, so I’ll make him be one. He won’t touch me, so I’ll keep ten or eight Male Companions, so the whole world can laugh at him. I want him to regret it for the rest of his life, to live a life of pain and despair!”
The Emperor and Prince Wei stared at each other in shock, both seeing the same meaning in the other’s eyes: It’s over, Imperial Younger Sister Xuanyang has been driven mad.
The Emperor sternly stated that keeping Male Companions was unacceptable, and that it would damage the Imperial family’s Face.
Xiao Li said she understood the importance of the Imperial family’s Face, so she would keep it a secret, letting only the Consort know, and it wouldn’t damage the Imperial family’s reputation.
Emperor: “.” You really are thorough.
Headache.
Prince Wei: “.” Imperial Sister is amazing!!
“It’s getting late, you should go back now.”
Xiao Li walked away with her head held high, and the Emperor wiped his face, suddenly feeling a sense of weariness. He wondered if this change in his Imperial Younger Sister was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, thinking that his Imperial Younger Sister was taking Revenge on the Lu Clan because of love, it should be a good thing for him.
Xiao Li returned to the Princess Manor, and Li Momo, along with Hong Yue and the others, had prepared all the toiletries and carefully attended to her.
Fragrant baths, essential oil massages—she indulged in every comfort.
Even though she was trapped in this idiotic story, she was still quite satisfied with this level of luxury as a princess.
She put on her Nightclothes, dried her Hair, and comfortably prepared for sleep.
“Princess.” A Guard reported at the door: “Reporting to the Princess, the Consort has come again, and he’s drunk.”
Xiao Li, who had been in a great mood, instantly flared up: “You can’t stop him once, you can’t stop him twice, what are you good for?”
“Princess, forgive the crime!”
Xiao Li felt annoyed, but she also understood. She wasn’t strong enough yet to give these subordinates the confidence to offend him.
Bullying people requires having something to rely on.
Noble status is useless, because there are those more noble than you. The most important thing is power.
Those with great power are even feared by those on the throne, and those without power must even look at others’ faces.
Indeed, no matter the World or setting, the only constant is that the strong prey on the weak.
“Bang!”
A wine bottle was thrown in from the doorway, and the maidservants quickly stood in front of Xiao Li, afraid that the shattered porcelain would hurt her.
Lu Yanzhi came in, reeking of alcohol, his body unsteady. He no longer had the aloof and refined demeanor he usually possessed, but was instead shrouded in Gloom, his cheeks flushed with an unnatural redness from the alcohol, his eyes bloodshot and hazy, filled with hatred, like a wild beast unleashed after a Seal was broken, ready to devour someone.
Seeing Xiao Li, his hatred immediately found its target, and he rushed towards her without concealing it: “You schemed and did everything you could, just to make me consummate the marriage with you, didn’t you? I agreed to it, are you satisfied?”
He looked as if he were about to swallow a fly in disgust and humiliation, and as if he were about to tear a piece of flesh from Xiao Li’s body with his bare hands.
Xiao Li was too lazy to talk to him, grabbed a water pitcher nearby, and splashed the water all over his face.
“Wake up your Brain before you speak to this Princess!”
Lu Yanzhi wasn’t awake, and he was even more enraged: “Get out, get everyone out!”
He roared, staring intently at Xiao Li, as if he wanted to devour her.
Seeing his state, who would dare to go out? Instead, they huddled around Xiao Li, protecting her in the middle.
Lu Yanzhi thought that Xiao Li would be afraid of his outburst?
How laughable!
“All of you, get out!”
Qian Momo worried: “Princess, the Consort is drunk, you…”
Xiao Li hated people who couldn’t help her and just worried about her.
“Get out!”
The group hesitantly left.
“Close the door!”
The deliberately open door was closed.
With no one around, Lu Yanzhi’s ferocious expression was revealed, his chest filled with hatred, and he immediately pounced on Xiao Li, as if to strangle her.
Xiao Li didn’t hesitate, and slapped him hard across the face.
“Slap!”
Lu Yanzhi had been seven parts drunk, and now he was only three parts drunk.
His eyes turned red, but he was mostly shocked: “You hit me?”
Xiao Li sneered: “What, didn’t you come looking for a beating?”
She was about to sleep, and she still had to deal with this troublesome man.
Xiao Li grabbed his collar, and with a forceful yank, threw him to the ground, burning with anger, and began to tear at his clothes.
“Rip! Rip!”
Even the most expensive summer clothes couldn’t withstand such force, and they tore easily.
Xiao Li was ruthless, like a hunting wolf. Even though Lu Yanzhi was a man, he was caught off guard and was about to be stripped naked.
“Stop it, stop it!”
Lu Yanzhi was now completely sober, his hatred almost gone, replaced by the fear of being at the mercy of others. He struggled frantically, his eyes filled with panic: “Someone, come quickly!”
Lu Yanzhi’s cries reached the ears of the Guards outside, but they hesitated to move.
It wasn’t the Princess who was hurt, so they didn’t want to disturb her.
Listening to the sound of tearing clothes, well, the Consort probably wouldn’t die.
Haha, let the brothers have a little excitement.
