Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Zhao naturally knew who Su Miao was.

She was the most talented woman in the capital and the most beloved granddaughter of the current Grand Chancellor, Su Rushuang. Not only was she outstanding in appearance, but she was also extremely adorable.

Su Miao was the Empress’s top choice for a daughter-in-law.

However, there was a secret in the capital that everyone knew. Although the current crown prince was 23 years old, he still had the temperament of a child.

Once the crown prince ascended the throne, the one in power would definitely be the empress!

As the favored daughter of the heavens, how could Su Miao allow herself to become the puppet crown prince consort?

“Aren’t you ignorant?” The empress looked at her in disdain. “Su Miao is the granddaughter of the current Grand Chancellor Su. Her talent and appearance are unparalleled.”

“I don’t understand what the Empress is saying.” Ji Zhao asked with a confused expression, “Miss Su is so outstanding, why would she covet a married man? Or is Miss Su’s reputation fake? She’s simply a big idiot?”

“You… How dare you!”

The empress did not expect that she would actually be rejected. She was instantly furious.

“1 misspoke. Please calm down, Your Majesty.” Ji Zhao obediently apologized. “It’s just that I really have confusions in my heart…”

“Miss Su is talented and beautiful. She fell in love with Lord Shen at first sight, so please fulfill her wish,” the empress said indifferently. “If you don’t have any objections, I’ll give the decree.”

“Your Highness, I don’t agree.” Ji Zhao pretended to be ignorant. “How can a fairy-like figure like Miss Su marry into a lowly family like the Shen family? However, Your Highness, I heard that Miss Su’s fate is extremely good. Wouldn’t it be better if she can marry into the palace to help the Emperor?”

“How dare you!”

“I also think Madam Shen’s suggestion is excellent.” Just as the empress gave the order to slap Ji Zhao, Prince Xian suddenly brought Shen Yao to the harem. “I’ve already given Miss Su’s eight characters to the empress dowager to take a look. The empress dowager also thinks that Miss Su’s eight characters are extremely good. We can try to let Miss Su to marry into the palace to wash away misfortune. Perhaps His Majesty can wake up?” “Prince Xian? How can you barge into the harem without permission?” After seeing who it was, the Empress scolded coldly.

“Empress, you’re overthinking. I’m familiar with the palace rules, so why would I knowingly commit a crime?” Prince Xian, Zhou Yuheng, chuckled and took out a black iron badge. “I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in this black iron badge?”

The Empress took a closer look and her heart skipped a beat!

For the previous emperors of Great Jing, the most important items were the jade seal and the black iron badge that led the army of 500,000 men!

Ever since Emperor Jingyuan fell seriously ill, the empress had already grasped the whereabouts of the jade seal. However, she had never been able to find out the whereabouts of the black iron badge. Until today, she actually saw this black iron badge in Prince Xian’s hand!

“Those with a black iron badge can freely enter the harem.” Zhou Yuheng looked at the Empress’s shocked expression and could not help but smile. The mockery in his words was self-evident. “Didn’t the Empress say that Miss Su’s fate is extremely good just now? Now that Brother is seriously ill, I think Madam Shen’s suggestion is very good.”

“Someone, pass on my orders. Confer Grand Chancellor Su’s daughter, Su Miao, as the Imperial Noble Consort and bestow her with the Eternal Joy Palace!”

“Zhou Yuheng, what right do you have to do this?” The empress did not expect herself to shoot herself in the foot. She was instantly furious. At this moment, she completely lost her bearing as an empress and rushed in front of Prince Xian, wanting to scratch his face!

Prince Xian sneered and dodged her attack!

“She wants to assassinate me. Looks like Her Majesty has gone crazy!”

Following Prince Xian’s order, the Empress’s Feng Luan Hall was locked up.

Ji Zhao, who had witnessed the confrontation between the two, was also in a daze. It was not until Prince Xian sent someone to send her back to the Grand Princess Imperial’s residence that Ji Zhao completely regained her senses.

“Zhaozhao?” Princess Kang Le looked at the silent Ji Zhao with a pained expression and asked with concern, “Were you frightened?”

“Mother, I’m fine.” Ji Zhao looked at the sky outside the window and sighed softly. “1 just feel that the sky is about to change.”

“Yes, it’s going to change.” Princess Kang Le gently held her hand and chuckled. “But Zhaozhao, don’t be afraid. No matter how big the storm outside is, it won’t affect our Grand Princess Imperial’s residence.”

The Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an was the sister of the late emperor. All these years, she had never taken sides or asked about the state affairs. More importantly, the Grand Princess Imperial of Chang’an had a very high reputation among the people.

As dusk approached, Ji Zhao leaned against the window and looked at the setting sun in the distance. At this moment, her emotions calmed down bit by bit.

Squeak—

Shen Yao pushed open the door and walked to her side. He asked gently, “Zhaozhao?”

Ji Zhao looked back and smiled brightly. However, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood wafting to her nose.

“Are you hurt?” Ji Zhao asked nervously.

“It’s not my blood.” Shen Yao thought for a moment and took two steps back. “Zhaozhao, I’ll go change my clothes first.”

In fact, before he returned to Jade Garden, he had already bathed and changed his clothes.

However, Ji Zhao’s sense of smell was extremely sensitive now.

An hour later, Shen Yao returned to Jade Garden again with a mahogany tray in his hands.

“Mother asked someone to make bird’s nest soup. Eat it while it’s hot, okay?”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhao responded gloomily. Then, she looked up and asked, “Shen Yao, it’s very chaotic outside, right?”

“It’s okay.”

“Oh.”

“Zhaozhao wants to know what’s going on outside?”

“Will you tell me?”

“Of course I will.” Shen Yao immediately nodded and said seriously, “If Zhaozhao wants to know something, I will definitely tell her everything.”

Ji Zhao couldn’t help but laugh.

The gloominess that lingered in her heart dissipated when she heard Shen Yao’s words.

Seeing the smile on her face, Shen Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

“The empress wants to marry Su Miao to you.” Ji Zhao suddenly grabbed his arm and wanted to bite him fiercely, but in the end, she let go reluctantly.

“Silly girl.” Shen Yao quickly pulled her into his arms and said firmly, “In this life, only Zhaozhao is my wife.”

“What a glib tongue!” Ji Zhao suddenly raised her head and hugged his neck. She whispered into his ear, “But I’m very happy.”

“But why did Prince Xian come in time?” Ji Zhao adjusted herself into a comfortable position and nestled in Shen Yao’s arms. She closed her eyes and asked, “And the black iron badge in his hand. When he showed the badge, the Empress’s expression changed.” “The Grand Princess Imperial ordered me to give that black iron badge to Prince Xian,” Shen Yao said in a low voice. “I heard that His Majesty’s condition is getting more and more serious.”

Everyone knew about the Empress’s ambitions.

Taking advantage of Emperor Jingyuan’s serious illness, she pushed the Second Prince, who was born with an incomplete intelligence, to the position of the heir apparent. She also wanted to arrange Su Miao’s marriage to use it to attract Chancellor Su’s power. In addition, the Empress’s eldest brother was a general in the northwest with 200,000 troops. It would be easy for her to support the Second Prince to ascend the throne.

The only regret was that the Second Prince was not the best candidate for the throne..
