Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

The Empress sighed softly, her face filled with sorrow, and said...

"It is my fault for not educating the Crown Prince properly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I have no children of my own, and for so many years I have treated him as my own son. I have put myself in his shoes, but who would have thought he would..."

"Your Majesty, it's not your fault."

The Emperor patted her shoulder, a cold, murderous smile spreading across his face.

"It's because the Crown Prince thinks I've lived too long!"

"Father, I know I was wrong... I truly know I was wrong!"

The crown prince scrambled in, knelt at the emperor's feet, and kowtowed repeatedly, trembling all over.

His hands were wrapped in thick bandages, and glaring red blood seeped from the two severed fingers. His face was paler than paper.

The more arrogant they were before, the more destitute they are now.

The Emperor's icy gaze swept coldly over them.

The prime minister, still bound by the immobilization charm, was carried in before them.

His face was grim. He glanced at Yin Liuli sideways and snorted coldly.

"Hey, how long are you going to keep me frozen like this? Can you release your spell now?!"

That look in his eyes was like that of a ferocious wild beast, as if it wanted to tear her to pieces.

The Emperor's life hangs in the balance, and the Crown Prince has one foot on the throne, but this girl kicks him off!

The highest rank achieved by the three generations of daughters in the Shen family was that of a Noble Consort. Just when it seemed that an Empress was about to be born, this brat pulled her off the throne!

The glory of the Shen family will come to an end today!

But she, Yin Liuli, stepped over their heads and rose to the top in one step!

How could the prime minister not harbor resentment?

"Are you calling me?"

Yin Liuli frowned in displeasure, looking at him with a cold and aloof gaze.

"My magic isn't something I can use just because someone tells me to. If Your Excellency is dissatisfied, then figure out the way to undo it yourself."

Gu Jinyan, tall and imposing like a mountain, stood behind Yin Liuli, chin raised, a haughty sneer on his face.

"Is this how the Prime Minister asks for favors?"

"My future wife, Princess Anle, personally bestowed by His Majesty, is of noble birth and deeply loved by my maternal grandfather. Does she not deserve even a simple request from the Prime Minister?"

"please?"

The prime minister's face tightened, and the anger rising in his chest almost consumed him.

He gritted his teeth several times to suppress his overwhelming hatred and said coldly,

"This old minister requests that Princess Anle remove the talisman."

"It's not bad."

Yin Liuli flipped her fingers and released his immobilization talisman.

The prime minister's body went limp, he staggered, and fell headfirst to the ground.

His face did not show any panic or confusion; instead, it remained calm. He struggled for a few moments before finally kneeling down.

The Emperor will decide next; it's none of her business.

Yin Liuli and Gu Jinyan exchanged a knowing glance, then bowed and said...

"Your Majesty, this humble woman takes her leave."

A smile appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face. He bowed and said, "Your subject takes his leave."

The Emperor waved his hand, "Go."

Yin Liuli turned around and walked calmly past the prime minister who was lying on the ground.

Two cold, piercing eyes swept across her back.

A raging fire burned in the prime minister's chest.

You brat, don't get cocky!

If I manage to escape this calamity today, one day I will make you pay a bloody price for the glory of my Shen family!

……

The news that the Emperor and Empress would personally preside over the wedding spread throughout the streets and alleys.

In the past few days, the threshold of Princess Anle's mansion has been worn down by people.

First, the old lady of the Duke's mansion and Madam Xue each sent generous gifts, and then sent invitations to invite her and her daughter to the mansion for a banquet.

Later, it was Zhou Qinggong's wife who personally visited to deliver gifts and expressed her deepest gratitude to Yin Liuli.

Because Yin Liuli spoke a few good words for her master in front of the Emperor, Zhou Qinggong was not implicated in the palace coup involving the Crown Prince's faction.

There were also many relatives of famous officials from the imperial court whom she did not recognize, who came to offer gifts and curry favor through Madam Zhou's connections.

The princess's residence also sent a mountain of gifts.

The betrothal gifts were carried to Yin Liuli's mansion one after another.

Gifts of all kinds were piled up like mountains in the storeroom of Princess Anle's mansion.

Her mother and Granny Jin urged her to pick out some valuable and practical items, but Yin Liuli had no interest in doing so.

She loved it when Gu Jinyan took her for a stroll around the capital, where they saw many interesting things they had never seen before.

……

"Liuli, where do you want to go today?"

That day, Gu Jinyan appeared in front of Yin Liuli early in the morning.

A doting smile graced his handsome face as he counted on his fingers for her.

"Guijie Street has many vendors selling all kinds of delicious food."

The seasonal flowers in the outskirts of Beijing are in bloom, a vibrant red expanse. Shall we go?

Also, there are lantern-lit boats at night, let's go take a look... glass? What are you looking at?

Yin Liuli rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of melancholy lingered in her clear, deep eyes.

"What's wrong, Liuli?"

Seeing her so serious expression, Gu Jinyan's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Observe the celestial phenomena."

Yin Liuli pointed to a corner of the sky and frowned, saying, "Gu Jinyan, look over there."

Gu Jinyan followed her finger and couldn't help but say,

"What's going on there? The weather is beautiful today, not a cloud in the sky..."

"In the southeast direction, the sky is covered with a dark, gloomy hue. This unusual celestial phenomenon foretells a great calamity."

"The crow represents water; therefore, there will be floods in the southeast, causing harm to the people."

Yin Liuli slowly shook her head and said in a solemn tone, "Gu Jinyan, we're not going out to play today. You will accompany me to the palace to see the Emperor. I have important matters to attend to."

"it is good."

Gu Jinyan's smile faded. "You want to tell the Emperor about the foresight regarding the flood?"

Yin Liuli pursed her lips and briefly explained her speculation to Gu Jinyan.

"Hopefully we can still make it in time."

Ever since leaving Qian Yuan Palace, she had sensed something was amiss, but she was too busy sending the Emperor's spirit back to investigate further.

The unusual celestial signs now correspond to her suspicions, and she must eliminate the threat as soon as possible.

Gu Jinyan's expression tightened upon hearing this, and he grabbed her hand tightly.

"We'll go right away."

The two hurriedly entered the palace.

……

Qinzheng Hall.

The court officials were arguing fiercely about the matter of deposing the crown prince, and the memorials piled up like a small mountain in front of their desks.

The Emperor was troubled by this matter. Upon seeing the two men come to pay their respects, he raised his hand to rub his temples, and a smile finally appeared on his tired face.

"Anle, Yan'er, what brings you here?"

"The celestial signs are unusual. I have deduced that the Great Chang Dynasty will suffer from floods. I have come to request Your Majesty's permission to conduct an investigation."

Yin Liuli frowned.

The Emperor's face tightened.

"Flooding? Where is the flooding?"

Yin Liuli raised her finger and pointed.

"Approximately southeast."

"You're speculating about the flood, and now you're attributing it to the palace?"

The Emperor looked surprised and asked in bewilderment, "Does my palace possess something that can foretell floods?"

Yin Liuli nodded and said without hesitation,

"The imperial palace is where the nation's vital energy converges. Located at the head of the dragon vein, the nine palaces within the palace can all reflect the nation's fortune."

"I noticed something unusual in the celestial phenomena, but I don't know the specific reason, so I came to the palace to investigate."
