Of course Zi You could hear what she said. So, Zi You looked deeply at the Empress and said calmly to the uncertain Xuanwu Emperor, “Emperor, the Indian God Realm attaches the most importance to vows. Please don’t worry! Chen vows that Chen and Chen’s grandfather and uncle will always be loyal to the Emperor and never do anything treasonous. Otherwise, we will end up like this sword.”

Zi You waved. A guard’s sword flew into her hands. She gently snapped it and it instantly broke into two.

“Good. Good! Zhen knows that Old General Mu, Young General Mu, and the National Guardian are loyal to Zhen. Someone, come. Reward Mu Junyuan, Mu YingYi, and Mu Zi You white jade ruyis, 1,000 gold taels, and 10,000 sivers. Reward Mu Zi You a box of……” Xuanwu Emperor was overjoyed and rewarded a bunch of gold and silvers. All of the soldiers and female medical team members were rewarded. The female medical team members were promoted to seventh-rank female officials.

However, he didn’t know that Zi You was playing a word game. She swore allegiance to the Emperor. But if the current Emperor wasn’t the Emperor anymore, then they didn’t have to be loyal of course.

The Empress’ liver hurt from anger. She winked at the previously favored Yu Meiren and signaled her to cause some trouble.

But Yu Meiren thought about how Wu Jieyu had competed for favor with her since she had arrived. So, she acted like she didn’t see the Empress’ gaze and ignored her.

The Empress was very angry. She didn’t have anyone else to use, so she could only do it herself. She said, “Emperor, Old General Mu returned in triumph. Shouldn’t we get all the ladies to perform songs and dances in celebration?”

The Emperor didn’t know this was a scheme, so he nodded. “All the ladies who can sing and dance come out to perform.”

All of the ladies immediately stepped out to perform songs and dances. Usually at this time, it was when the ladies showed off their talents for their future marriage prospects.

Shen Biqian was originally Shangguan Lingluo’s study companion and she had suffered Shangguan Lingluo’s humiliations. She was very happy when Shangguan Lingluo was demoted to a commoner from Zi You’s scheme and was finally killed by Taizi.

But because she was Shangguan Lingluo’s study companion, a tragedy also befell her. She was a Shu daughter, so all of her glory was given to her by Shangguan Lingluo.

So after Shangguan Lingluo died, she wasn’t bullied anymore. However, problems soon came. Everyone was respectful and tried to curry favor with her because she had been Shangguan Lingluo’s study companion before, but now they looked at her full of contempt like they were looking at Shangguan Lingluo herself.

She fell into another circle. Her Di sisters, Di mother, yiniangs, and Shu sisters all started to bully her.

So, she had begun to hate Shangguan Lingluo’s death. She even hated Zi You and Third Wangzi who had caused Shangguan Lingluo to become a commoner and banished to the Cold Palace.
