I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 34: It's Like Looking at a Fool
"I am willing." Princess Mingxia kowtowed to the emperor without hesitation.

"No, Your Majesty, this is all my fault. The princess is not aware of this." You Shaoyun also kowtowed, his kowtows making loud noises. "The princess is innocent. Please show mercy, Your Majesty."

"Youlang." Princess Mingxia called out affectionately, two lines of tears slowly sliding down her beautiful face.

"Silly girl." You Shaoyun held the woman's hand with a red and swollen forehead, and said in a gentle and doting tone, "I hope you live well."

"Youlang."

"The county lord."

"Youlang."

"The county lord."

……

Xiao Jingfan, who knew everything: I feel a little sick.

[Tsk tsk, if I keep watching this I'm going to feel pity for the scumbag. ]

Cao Daxueshi: She stayed with her husband in times of crisis, what a loyal woman! I want to write a poem for the princess, who is a role model for women all over the world!
Marquis Wen Zhao: I was born before you were born, and you were born when I was old. Princess, I regret that we did not meet before you got married!
Xiao Shiyi: What happened?
Others: It’s late at night, hurry up and judge and punish!

Before spitting it out, Xiao Jingfan stopped this affectionate interaction in time.

"You Shaoyun, the Left Junior Official of the Dali Temple, has been corrupt and abused his power. He has now confessed everything. I order his property to be confiscated, his official position to be taken away, and he shall be executed immediately. His descendants..."

Xiao Jingfan paused. Mingxia had given You Shaoyun a sterilizing drug, so he would not have any offspring.

He skipped the sentence that three generations of descendants cannot be officials and continued: "His mother did not educate her son strictly, so he was stripped of his imperial edict, demoted to a commoner, and executed on a certain day. His brothers, wives and concubines were all imprisoned and executed on a certain day."

"Your Majesty, there is a red-lettered iron certificate in the Chongde Marquis' Mansion." Grand Secretary Cao was afraid that the role model of women in the world would be gone, so he quickly pleaded for Princess Mingxia.

You Shaoyun, who was filled with remorse, was stunned. As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he shouted to Princess Mingxia: "Yes, there is also the red seal and iron certificate. Princess, I don't want you to die with me!"

Princess Mingxia had a painful expression on her face. She covered her chest and said in a hoarse voice, "Since you are gone, how can I live in vain?"

[Everyone stand up! Let's applaud the excellent actress Princess Mingxia! ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Why are you everywhere?

"Your Majesty, a wife regards her husband as her God. Please allow me to use the imperial edict on behalf of the princess." You Shaoyun did not care about much else. He was afraid that the woman who loved him the most in the world would really follow him foolishly, so he quickly begged the emperor.

Xiao Jingfan looked at him as if he were a fool, his mood was very complicated.

He cleared his throat, "Mingxia, you..."

He had just started to speak when Princess Mingxia seemed to be overly sad and fainted with a cry.

[Amazing! So amazing! If she faints, she can avoid answering the tyrant's questions and making a choice. This way, she can avoid OOC and use the red seal to save her life. Princess Mingxia is amazing! ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Finally, under the kneeling pleas of You Shaoyun, Grand Secretary Cao and Marquis Wen Zhao, Xiao Jingfan took back the red-lettered iron certificate from the Chongde Marquisate.

Considering that Princess Mingxia had no idea about You Shaoyun's actions, and that Grand Secretary Cao and Marquis Wen Zhao risked their lives to persuade her, and that You Shaoyun took the initiative to ask for a divorce, Princess Mingxia was allowed to divorce You Shaoyun and return to Marquis Chongde's mansion to live, and everything would be as if she were not married.

The heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground. You Shaoyun took a deep look at the fainted woman beside him, and bowed to the person on the dragon throne willingly, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

——Princess, I, You Shaoyun, have let you down in this life. If there is an afterlife, I only wish to live in harmony with you and grow old together.

[Tsk tsk, belated affection is cheaper than grass. I don't know who owed whom in the previous life, don't meet each other in the next life. Especially the one with the surname You, if you don't want to be played like a dog, remember to hide away when you see Princess Mingxia again.] Xiao Jingfan... agreed with her.

[The tyrant is quite partial to Princess Mingxia. The entire You family was executed. As for Princess Mingxia, apart from using up a red-lettered iron certificate, nothing else will happen. When the storm is over, she can secretly keep a few handsome men in the mansion, or find a husband of her dreams and start a new life.]

[Sure enough, the treatment of those with or without a backer is different. But it is understandable. The tyrant didn't know what Princess Mingxia was doing behind her back. Anyway, the late emperor had tricked Princess Mingxia first and granted her such a hellish marriage. Now it can be regarded as the son paying off his father's debt.]

Xiao Jingfan, who knew everything, said: "..."

——I’ll just pretend I don’t know.

The next day, the news that the Jinyiwei had raided the residence of the former Zuo Shaoqing of the Dali Temple overnight spread among the streets. Also spread was the news that Princess Mingxia was bedridden due to excessive grief over her divorce from You Shaoyun.

"Is Mingxia really bedridden?" Xiao Jingfan asked his Jinyiwei commander after receiving the news.

Xie Hui said: "Princess Mingxia fainted in public after leaving the palace. Because You's mansion was confiscated, she was sent back to Chongde Marquis's mansion. After the gate was closed, Princess Mingxia never showed up again. But someone heard the princess crying in extreme grief from Chongde Marquis's mansion, which made everyone cry."

"Perform the whole play..."

"Your Majesty?" Xie Hui didn't hear Xiao Jingfan's muttering clearly and looked at him in confusion.

Xiao Jingfan curled the corners of his lips slightly and picked up the pen to dip it in ink.

Two large, sharp characters appeared on the paper.

When the ink was slightly dry, he rolled up the paper and handed it to Xie Hui, "Send it to Chongde Marquis Mansion and give it to Mingxia. Ask her to frame it and look at it for a quarter of an hour every day."

Commander Xie didn't understand and asked, "What does your majesty mean?"

Xiao Jingfan looked at him meaningfully, "Do you want to know?"

Xie Hui was startled and immediately said, "I will go to the Chongde Marquis's Mansion right now."

He ran out of Wenhua Hall as if escaping.

Zhou Yuande looked suspiciously at Xie Hui's receding figure, and whispered, "Why is Lord Xie running so fast? Are you rushing to confiscate his property?"

*
In the Chongde Marquis Mansion, Princess Mingxia, who was rumored to be bedridden, was surrounded by handsome men, some were massaging her shoulders, some were massaging her legs, and some were reading storybooks. She looked so leisurely.

Not far away, the five maids in charge of crying were taking turns, each sobbing at the top of their lungs for half a minute.

Princess Mingxia picked up the glass and just took a sip of juice when she heard the butler come to report: "Princess, it's bad, Commander Xie is here!"

Princess Mingxia spat out a mouthful of juice, which sprayed all over the head and face of the pretty boy who was massaging her legs.

The little handsome boy looked at her sadly, "Princess."

"Sorry, you wipe it first." Princess Mingxia threw him a handkerchief, stood up and walked quickly to the bedroom, while walking, she told the housekeeper, "Bring me the things I used to pretend to be sick, and also, tell Lord Xie that this princess..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Princess Mingxia widened her eyes and looked at the young man in a red flying fish suit not far away.

Xie Hui turned the embroidered spring sword in his hand and smiled at her, "The princess seems to be better now?"

Princess Mingxia immediately rolled her eyes and fell backwards.

Xie Hui said quietly: "If the princess faints, your majesty's reward will be..."

"Uh——" Princess Mingxia instantly performed a medical miracle, demonstrating what a good waist is, and she straightened her waist that was half bent backwards.

He picked up an empty butler: "?"
