Chapter 1757: Under My Command

ang a curt nod. Although she was unwilling, she still called out, "Auntie."An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile. "Good, get up. Today, your aunt didn't bring any gifts, but your aunt still prepared...It seems that Mo Yunchen's reach extends far, as he has even brought Shangshu Jiang Rongwen of the Ministry of Rites under his command.

Having received the answer she desired, Zhi'er slowly withdrew her hand. No one knew what movements she made beneath her sleeve.

The Emperor, as if roused from a nap, suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhi'er, "My love, you disagree with what I have done"

Chi'er shook her head and smiled gently, "How could that be, Your Majesty. My concubine agrees with every decision you make and will always stand by your side."

Sure enough, when the emperor heard her say this, he laughed until his mouth nearly reached his ears.

He reached out and grasped Chi'er's hand, gently patting it. "As expected of my beloved concubine, you understand me best."

As expected, she shouldn't have been so arrogant back then, shouldn't have thought she had put in so much and that he would eventually see her worth, completely abandon that woman and fall into her arms.

Looking back now, she realizes how foolish she was back then. If only she had put the love potion on the emperor sooner, those years wouldn't have been so miserable pretending to be another woman.

Upon hearing the Emperor ask again, a flicker of astonishment crossed the depths of the Imperial Guard's commander's eyes.

This just happened, why are you asking again

Though I was puzzled, I dared not speak. Instead, I quickly told him everything I knew.
