No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, they are a legitimate couple.

They got married and worshiped heaven and earth.

Regardless of whether there is affection and trust, it cannot change this fact.

The carriage slowly arrived outside the palace gate.

The two of them sat quietly in the carriage. Ji Yucang's hand had already been released from Shen Ning's waist, but his eyes fell on her face for a moment.

"No matter what the reason is, I am now the Princess Regent and your wife." Shen Ning's voice was indifferent and showed no emotion. "As long as you live, I will be your wife. It doesn't matter whether we grow old together or we are separated halfway. After all, only when people are alive can those possibilities be possible.”

Ji Yucang was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "So, you actually want me to live?"

Shen Ning raised her eyes and glanced at him, feeling that his question was strange: "It's not good for me if you die. I don't want you to live, so am I still expecting you to die?"

Ji Yucang's eyes deepened slightly, and finally he seemed to compromise: "Let me think about it for two days."

Shen Ning hummed and stood up first to walk towards the carriage.

No matter what he thought about it, she was going to save him.

The most burdensome thing in this world is the debt of gratitude.

She didn't want to owe anyone anything to live her life again.

Don't think anyone else owes her anything.

She will pay back those people who have wronged her and those unforgettable hatreds.

Stepping into the palace gate, the two quickly arrived at Chonghua Palace.

After the morning court, Ji Jin stayed in Chonghua Palace reading, occasionally staring out the window in a daze, thinking about things that only he knew.

He does not need to make decisions on major affairs of the government. The prime ministers of the left and right will discuss it with the important ministers of the government.

Even when the regent was suffering from poison, it was not his turn as a young emperor who had not yet taken charge of the government to make the final decision on government affairs. It was as if he, the emperor, was just a decoration.

The regent is the real master of the country of Yong.

If the Qin family hadn't come to the palace every now and then to beg for this or that, he would probably have forgotten that he was the master of the palace.

"Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for Yanshu!" Mrs. Qin knelt on the ground, accusing the Regent of the evil deeds with tears streaming down her face, "Yanshu has been the treasure of the Qin family since childhood, my wife. I've never been willing to lay a finger on him, but..."

"The regent is really lawless!" The Queen Mother Qin's expression was cold. "A child with such a good inkstone, gentle and polite, and a measured approach, never does anything that goes beyond the limits. How can the regent be so intolerable?"

Ji Jin's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her handsome and jade-like appearance was shrouded in the morning light, faintly showing a bit of alienation and impatience.

His eyes fell on the page, and his voice was indifferent: "What did Qin Yanshu do at the Regent's Mansion last night?"

"No matter what he does, the regent has no right to lynch him!" The Queen Mother's expression was filled with anger, and her eyebrows were covered with a haze. "The legitimate son of the great uncle's family, even if the late emperor is still alive, will not humiliate and kill him at every turn! The regent really doesn’t care about the Ai family anymore!”

With the Queen Mother as her backing, Mrs. Qin was emboldened and cried more and more angrily and aggrieved: "Poor Yanshu was so badly injured when he was sent home last night that even the experienced doctor did not dare to take action easily. It can be seen that the Regent I just want to beat him to death——"

"The Prince Regent has arrived! The Princess Regent has arrived!" Zhou Fang's slightly anxious report sounded, accompanied by the footsteps hurriedly entering the palace, and his tone was a bit unprepared, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Prince Regent is here!"

Mrs. Qin froze on the ground, and her accusations stopped abruptly.

Ji Jin, who was sitting on the bright yellow dragon-carved couch, changed slightly after hearing this, and her hand holding the scroll unconsciously tightened.

Why did the regent come?

Although his message was for the regent and the princess to come together, shouldn't the regent, who just took the antidote yesterday, be lying on the bed now, too groggy to get up?

He expected that Shen Ning would not dare to come because of fear, or that she would come alone but would bring some bodyguards with her.

And it was definitely not the regent and his wife who came together.

This thought flashed through her mind, but a familiar figure appeared in her sight, and Ji Jin suddenly looked up.

The regent and the princess came together from outside the palace. One was noble and cold, with peerless elegance, while the other was indifferent and unparalleled, cold and charming.

It's like they were made for each other.

A perfect match that makes people jealous.

Mrs. Qin was still kneeling on the ground, subconsciously avoiding the Regent's gaze: "Regent... Regent..."

"Prince Regent." The Queen Mother sat on the chair and looked at him coldly, "I heard that you had someone punish the inkstone last night. What on earth is going on?"

Ji Yucang's expression was cold and hard. Before he could speak, Shen Ning had already spoken: "The Queen Mother misunderstood. It was my intention to order Qin Yanshu to be punished. The Regent took the antidote yesterday and has been resting in the palace."

"You?" the Queen Mother said angrily, "Princess Regent, you are so brave!"

Ji Yucang walked over to Mrs. Qin and sat down on the second honorary seat. Her voice was cold: "Why didn't the Queen Mother ask Qin Yanshu what he did?"

"No matter what he did, she has no right to use lynching." The Queen Mother said angrily, still looking at Shen Ning, "Don't think that just because you marry the regent, you can be lawless! You can't punish a doctor, not to mention that the inkstone is the palace of the uncle. The legitimate son——"

"It's a pity that Qin Yanshu is not a doctor." Shen Ning walked over and sat down next to Ji Yucang, "What's more, he committed a serious crime that was enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Is it worth Mrs. Qin going to the palace to complain with just thirty sticks?"

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother's expression changed, and then she frowned and said coldly, "Shen Ning, stop talking here and confusing the public!"

Shen Ning leaned back on her chair, treating Chonghua Palace as the regent's palace: "First of all, yesterday on the street, Qin Yanshu called me by her first name. This is very disrespectful."

"Secondly, I am already married. He intercepted my carriage on the street. Not only was he disrespectful, he even ignored the defense of men and women. He is far from noble, but he is more despicable and despicable than anyone else."

"you--"

"And the most important point." Shen Ning's eyes were slightly cold, and her voice was as cold as an ice cellar, "Qin Yanshu came to the Regent's Mansion last night. Do you know what he said? He said that he was responsible for the mountain bandits in the suburbs. He You ruined my reputation and killed more than a dozen people from our government. I don’t know how to settle this debt?”

After the words fell, there was a dead silence in Chonghua Palace.

The air suddenly solidified.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Qin raised her head in astonishment and looked at her with a mixture of shock and anger, "Shen Ning, this is such a bloody rant! There is no way that Yan Shu -"

"Qin Yanshu personally admitted that he did this." Shen Ning's eyes were like ice knives, as if she could see through the sinister hearts of people: "Before Mrs. Qin came to complain, she didn't ask her son what immoral things he had done?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Qin stood up and denied sternly, "Yanshu is an upright man and would never do such a thing! He likes you so much that he won't marry you unless you are the one, so what good will it do him to frame you?"

Ji Yucang's expression suddenly darkened, and her voice was as cold as frost: "Mrs. Qin."

Mrs. Qin's face turned pale and she swallowed: "In short, we cannot rely on the Princess Regent's words in this matter..."

"Qin Yanshu naturally has advantages in doing this. For example, he wants to marry the eldest princess of Pingyao." Shen Ning said in a cold tone, "But even if he admits it personally, you will not admit this crime, so don't worry, I will continue to look for evidence. I hope the uncle's palace can withstand the wrath of the regent's palace."

Mrs. Qin's face turned pale and she subconsciously took a step back, feeling cold all over.

Is this a threat?

This is definitely a threat!

How dare Shen Ning arrogantly threaten the uncle's house in front of the emperor and the queen mother!
