Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female)

Chapter 174

I stayed here, enjoying the leisurely scenery. My mind returned to its usual tranquility.

"Master, Ziyi is staying overnight at Yanxiao Tower."

His hand trembled, and the pen slipped into the pond, creating black ripples: "Back to the capital."

"Yes, Master."

I rushed back overnight and met Ouyang Wuji. I saw him with Qianqing's decree. He sat there, respectful and fearful.

Despite the injury around my eye, I took a sip of tea and suddenly lost the urge to cause him trouble. I placed the imperial edict on the table and left…

I told myself: I am not Wu Hui, I am not Zi Mo, I will not repeat the same mistakes.

...

His mother was very intelligent. Women who are too intelligent often cause trouble. She saw that Zi Mo was unusual. She arranged for Zi Yi to go on blind dates. He met all sorts of people. I held the report in my hand, but I didn't even have the interest to flip through it. With such a background, I was afraid that he was not good enough to satisfy my grievances.

As for that Liu Er, let's not even mention him!

But he saw him several times, and even went to see her behind Zi Mo's back. He needs to be taught a lesson, or he'll think the world belongs to the Shen family!

"Your Majesty, if these two are not punished, it will be difficult to uphold the law."

Upon hearing this, he glared at me and then acted like a rogue towards Qianqing.

Qianqing hit him, just as I wanted. He cried miserably, as if the whole world owed him something.

Actually, the paddle wouldn't have landed on him, but Zi Mo's words startled Wu Hui and Su Gu, and the second blow landed squarely on him.

Qian Qing was stunned, Zi Mo suddenly lost his expression, Wu Hui's face was full of disbelief, and Su Gu seemed to be deep in thought...

He was wronged, so he got angry and naturally stopped attending court. He gave Qianqing a resignation letter and then disappeared without a trace.

Qianqing handed me her resignation letter, and the reasons on it were utterly ridiculous: I feel bad about it, so I quit; I'm in a bad mood, so I have to fire my boss.

"Help me think of a solution?" Qianqing asked anxiously, worried about a subject.

"He will come back." He will not easily give up power.

“But…” Qianqing sighed, “I shouldn’t have hit him that day.”

“Killing him would not be too much.”

After I finished speaking, Qianqing looked at me and smiled, "Sikong, he's still young, just bear with it."

It's your kind of thinking that has created him the way he is now, and in the end, you'll be the ones who suffer.

...

In the end, Qianqing chose to back down and invited Ziyi back.

Zi Yi won a great victory in his first encounter with Qian Qing.

He had figured out Qianqing's trump card, and he gained everyone's favor. He laughed even more triumphantly and acted even more exaggeratedly.

The court officials, seeing the changing winds, treated him with great courtesy.

He lunged at me, behaving inappropriately. He even dared to lift my clothes! He reached inside, groping haphazardly. His hands were soft, like the tone of his voice; it was a waste that they were on him.

Zi Mo pulled him away, seemingly unintentionally, but with a hint of resentment that I hadn't pushed him away. I straightened my clothes and sat down in the main seat.

Why would I push him? If I want to, you can forget about pulling him away.

"Let go, she wants a gentle hug."

I glanced at him, thrashing about, and one sentence from him easily warmed my heart. He knew exactly how to please the people he needed at the right time.

After the morning break, I didn't rush to work. I really wanted to see him because of what he said that morning, and because of that lively smiling face that I hadn't looked at closely.

I followed the street and found him sitting on the ground, guided by the crowd. Wu Hui stood to the side watching him.

What are you doing?

Wu Hui hurriedly took him away. Ever since last time, Wu Hui had been very wary of me. He was afraid, and he lacked confidence. He lacked confidence in anyone except Zi Mo, and I lacked confidence in the same way. However, I had the ability to take him away. He wasn't a virtuous man or a chaste woman, and I was 100% certain of winning him over. There was no need to rush.

...

I can see him anywhere I want. I stood behind him and said, "If you marry me, I will only be good to you and give up the entire forest plan."

He was serious. I suddenly realized that he didn't care about power. This discovery displeased me. Without something to restrain him, he would have less leverage. If I couldn't find leverage against him, I would lose my confidence.

He talked to me a lot. He wanted to give up here, he wanted peace and quiet, he was disturbing everyone's peace of mind, and he irresponsibly wanted to leave. Regardless of what Wu Hui and Qian Qing think, I simply won't agree.

I made it clear to him—no amount of money here is worthless. From the moment he became favored, it was decided that he had no freedom; he could only be favored, whether he liked it or not. You are Shen Ziyi, protected by us, and we have the right to take everything from you, while you have no right to speak.

You will be the trophy. Whoever wins in the end, you'll be with them. This is just the beginning. I haven't even seen you struggling in the battle yet. How can you back out now?

I never expected that when he bet his biggest stake on me, I would lose too, succumb to his trap, and be dragged into a dead end emotionally. Even when I nearly caused Ao'er's death, he remained silent. He held a grudge, and he sought revenge on everyone in his own way.

My words enraged him. He pinned me down, and I didn't believe he would dare to do anything rash. I looked at him calmly. His lips unexpectedly fell on mine, and I was instantly flustered. He kissed me…

I could hardly believe it was true, I could hardly admit it, I was infatuated with the feeling he gave me.

As I was lost in my own world, I clearly saw his mocking smile. How could I forget that he was Shen Ziyi? He was always watching everyone else make fools of themselves. I hated myself for being so weak, for letting him look down on me. I quickly ran away, not daring to look into his clear eyes.

I hid in the back hill, and they were very excited, chirping and making a ruckus. I got angry and swept them into a pit. They quieted down, struggled to climb out of the pit, and looked at me pitifully, just like he usually did after making a mistake. I put down the stone I was about to throw, and they crawled away, not as smug as he was...

I try my best not to see him; I don't like losing control of my emotions. But whenever he appears, he's a striking sight, easily drawing attention. He dresses very alluringly, more so than Su Gu, and has more charm than Su Gu.
