Chapter 355 of "After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband" opens introducing the plot: The Empress Dowager’s face changed, "The Emperor is the ruler and his words are as... Continue exploring!

The Empress Dowager’s face changed, "The Emperor is the ruler and his words are as precious as gold; how can he go back on them?!"Anger born of disappointment made the Empress Dowager’s face slightly grotesque. Coincidentally, the Emperor was also in a fit of rage. The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "As a monarch, I cannot go back on my word, but I also cannot grant the title of County Princess to a person with such a malicious heart!" "Malicious heart?" "Is Your Majesty referring to Yuyu?" the Empress Dowager asked. The Emperor was too angry to speak. Eunuch Fu looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "At the lotus feast at Prince Yu’s Mansion, someone instigated by the eldest daughter of Duke Zhen’s Mansion poisoned the tea that the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion drank." "Impossible!" The Empress Dowager denied flatly. "Yuyu has a kind heart, she would never poison anyone!" "There must be some misunderstanding here!" The Empress Dowager insisted there was a misunderstanding, leaving Eunuch Fu speechless. He said, "This is what Princess Consort Yu told Mrs. Wang, who is by the Old Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion. I happened to hear it when I went in...." Eunuch Fu’s voice grew smaller and smaller because the Empress Dowager’s gaze was so sharp and cold, it frightened him into silence. On one side was the Emperor, and on the other was the Empress Dowager. Eunuch Fu didn’t know what to do; he couldn’t afford to offend either. "It was Doctor Feng who went to Prince Yu Mansion to test for poison, should the Empress Dowager not call him to ask about it?!" the Emperor said, his expression unhappy. The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth, feeling unfulfilled. A cooked duck also managed to fly, how could she not be angry? The source of thɪs content is N0velFire.ɴet The Empress Dowager was unwilling to let it go. She said, "Granting Yuyu the title of County Princess was to make up for Shouning not marrying, what are we to do about this marriage now that the Emperor’s gone back on his word?" "If Princess Nanzhang insists on the marriage, I will decree Shouning to marry into Duke Zhen’s Mansion," the Emperor stated. At this point, how could the Emperor not see through the trap set by the Empress Dowager and Princess Nanzhang for him? Using Princess Shouning’s marriage to force him to grant a County Princess title. Since this was the case—— He would let them have their way! The Emperor cleverly reversed the situation, catching the Empress Dowager off guard. The Empress Dowager was stunned, not knowing how to react, until Nanny Li beside her said, "Your Majesty, if Princess Shouning and the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion don’t get along, gathering them at Duke Zhen’s Mansion might cause chaos; please reconsider, Your Majesty!" The Emperor chuckled in anger. Princess Nanzhang, being the mistress of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, wasn’t afraid of chaos there; would he, the Emperor, need to worry on their behalf?! "My decision is made, no need for further persuasion," the Emperor said indifferently. The Empress Dowager was infuriated, "Is the Emperor so biased towards the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion?" The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager and asked, "Biased?" "The Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion saved my life at Qingyun Mountain, and when I wanted to grant her a County Princess title, Duke Chong obstructed every way he could." "She was rough and uncouth, not worthy of a County Princess title, so how is someone who poisons others behind their back any more worthy?!" the Emperor interrogated. "Not to mention the title of County Princess, if I find out that Princess Nanzhang gave orders to poison, I’ll strip her of her Commandery Princess title too!" The Emperor’s words were so heavy that there wasn’t even a sliver of room for retreat. Eunuch Fu tried to calm the Emperor’s anger. The Empress Dowager trembled with rage, "Shouning is the Emperor’s daughter, yet he is willing to see her bullied. What could I possibly be unwilling to give up?" With that, the Empress Dowager turned and left. Back at Yongning Palace, the more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the angrier she became, making her head throb faintly. Nanny Li quickly sent for an Imperial Physician. Agarwood Pavilion, in the backyard. Inside the bamboo house. Su Jin was crouched on the ground playing with Little Black. She had been kicked to her knees by a matron, and Little Black had fiercely lunged at Princess Nanzhang. A dog so loyally protective of its master, Su Jin adored it immensely. Xingxing brought a box of food and said, "Miss, the braised ribs have arrived." Su Jin opened the food box and served the braised ribs to Little Black. Little Black ate happily. "Thankfully we brought Little Black home, otherwise it would have been kicked for nothing," Xingxing remarked. Kicking her didn’t matter, but kicking the young miss was unacceptable. If Marquis found out that they bullied the young miss like this, he would surely break those two matrons’ legs. After Little Black finished eating, he frolicked in the backyard. To prevent Little Black from running to the front yard and then sneaking around Duke Mansion, Su Jin had a maid find a servant to replace the backyard gate. In the evening, Xie Jingchen returned, and as soon as he reached the backyard gate, he saw Little Black bark at him. Xie Jingchen frowned deeply; his impression of Little Black was not good, "Why was he brought here to Duke Mansion?" "The Eldest Young Madam brought him back," the little maid at the gate said. "He even bit the Commandery Princess." Such a fierce dog. The Master should quickly take him away. The little maid looked scared, feeling unsafe with only a wooden door between her and such a fierce dog. The Hidden Guard, "..." Xie Jingchen, "..." Xie Jingchen wanted to laugh but couldn’t. Even the dog from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion is a nemesis to Princess Nanzhang. To prevent Little Black from escaping, Xie Jingchen vaulted over the crescent-shaped arch into the backyard. In the backyard, Su Jin was bored. Seeing Xie Jingchen arrive, she got up from the swinging swing and said, "You went to see my father off, how did you just disappear into thin air?" "How far did you escort my father?" Su Jin was curious. He promised to come to Prince Yu Mansion after seeing her father off, but she only saw him now. "Just to the city gate," Xie Jingchen said. "...." "And then?" Su Jin asked. "And then I was commandeered by your father to work at the Ministry of Justice all day, and I have to go again tomorrow," Xie Jingchen replied. Su Jin, "..." Su Jin’s face lit up with gossip, "What did my father ask you to do?" "At the Ministry of Justice, and whatever the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice asked me to do," Xie Jingchen said with frustration. "...." "Why?" Su Jin was puzzled. "Because with me at the Ministry of Justice, your father’s people don’t have to be removed," Xie Jingchen explained tiredly. It was impossible for Marquis Dongxiang to leave and still keep his people at the Ministry of Justice, as there was no lack of personnel there. Xie Jingchen, being the eldest young master of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, was also a nephew to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s wife. Old Master Xie had captured the King of Beimo, achieving great merit. For Old Master Xie’s beloved son, all the civil and military officers in the court had to show some leniency. With Xie Jingchen’s protection, Marquis Dongxiang’s people could act with impunity in the Ministry of Justice. As Xie Jingchen sipped his tea, his mind kept replaying a line said by Marquis Dongxiang before leaving: Having kept a low profile for so many years, it’s time to show your edge. Su Jin thought to herself, while feeling a moment of sympathy for Xie Jingchen, how there were actually many people envious of him. Su Jin was unaware that while she felt sympathy for Xie Jingchen, many envied him. Su Chong and his men thought that once they followed Marquis Dongxiang to capture bandits, they wouldn’t have to undergo the harsh training at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. But they were too naive. Whatever Marquis Dongxiang said before leaving that kept them calm will eventually unfold.
