"Xu Zhaoyi, you are the imperial consort of the Great Wei Dynasty, please watch your words and actions!"

Xu Jiaying sneered with disdain, her tone sarcastic: "Castrated dog, it's not your place to judge what this young lady does!"

"Also, remember this! I, Xu Jiaying, am the daughter of the Grand Commandant's mansion of the Great Wei Dynasty, and never a Zhaoyi! This beastly emperor is not worthy of my submission!"

Having said that, she suddenly raised her head, her black hair falling loose, her eyes full of resentment.

"Dog emperor, listen up, although I can't do anything to you now, one day I will definitely make you experience this kind of unbearable pain! Even as a ghost, I, Xu Jiaying, will not let you go!"

She would forever remember this sinful face!

Remember this beast who, after cruelly violating her, poisoned her family to cover up the truth!

She had survived until now to avenge this blood debt.

For the next hour, Xu Jiaying cursed Jiang Chen, wishing him a terrible death, abandoned by all, and hurled every heart-wrenching insult she could think of.

The people guarding beside her were dripping with cold sweat, deeply regretting that they had ears to hear these treasonous words!

Jiang Chen, however, was extremely calm, sitting at the table, allowing Xu Jiaying to vent her anger.

It was not until she was exhausted, stopped speaking, and collapsed on the ground that Jiang Chen lightly tapped the table and slowly said, "I acknowledge your resentment towards me, and I will not punish you."

"As for your father, when the time is right, I will personally overturn the verdict and restore his reputation!"

Xu Jiaying heard this, coldly raising her eyes, without the slightest emotion.

She did hope to clear her family's name, but she didn't trust Jiang Chen.

This dog emperor was suddenly so generous; there must be a conspiracy!

Seeing Xu Jiaying's silence, Jiang Chen couldn't help but have a headache.

It seemed that if he wanted to win her over, he had to use some strong medicine.

While pondering, Jiang Chen waved his hand, dismissing the irrelevant people in the room, and said in a deep voice:

"If you want revenge, I can help you. There is another mastermind behind what happened that year. Don't you want to find this person and tear them to pieces?"

"As the direct descendant of the Xu family, your father must have told you the truth. That year, he competed with Mei Wenshi and inadvertently fell into a trap, thus losing his life."

"As long as you reveal his arrangements in the army, I can purge Mei Wenshi's faction and help you get revenge! In the end, you and I are both being used..."

"Shut up!"

Xu Jiaying shouted angrily, her expression extremely sarcastic, her tone disdainful as she said, "You are really shameless, thinking that I will forgive you if you push the responsibility onto others?"

"I was just wondering why you suddenly came after so many years. It turns out you need something from me! Hahaha, dog emperor, do you know how long I've waited for this day?!"

"I, Xu Jiaying, would rather die than let you get your wish! Just wait to be usurped of your throne and for your clan to be exterminated!"

After saying that, she curled the corners of her mouth and sat back on the ground, her expression extremely happy.

She had been anticipating this moment for too long!

After the Xu family was destroyed, she had foreseen that Jiang Chen's future would definitely not be good!

With Mei Wenshi's ambition, how could he stop at being a powerful minister?

Once her father fell, the next one would be this dog emperor!

She had苟延残喘 (gou yan can chuan - prolonged her life) until now just to see the miserable end of this dog emperor with her own eyes, so how could she be moved by these few words?

Feng Jin's face was unsightly. In his opinion, Jiang Chen's glory was even higher than his life. Xu Jiaying's repeated violations completely aroused his murderous intent!

She was just the daughter of a disgraced official. There were so many tortures in the Court of Judicial Review. How difficult would it be to make her obedient?

With a solemn expression, he walked to Jiang Chen's side and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, this old servant has a way to pry open her mouth. You can hand her over to this servant to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chen interrupted, "No! You may withdraw for now."

In the end, Xu Jiaying became like this because of the original owner of this body.

If it weren't for the original owner's sins, her life would definitely be happy and fulfilling. Under the care of her family, she would be a simple and lovely little princess, not like she is now, full of resentment, like a vengeful ghost.

In any case, now it was he, Jiang Chen, who occupied the emperor's identity. He wanted to try his best to make up for this mistake, instead of being like the original owner, relying on his power and status, wantonly acting, and treating human life like grass.

Sighing almost imperceptibly, Jiang Chen got up and helped Xu Jiaying up, saying, "If you are unwilling to help, I will not force you."

"Afterwards, you can temporarily stay in this Huaqing Palace. When I get rid of Mei Wenshi's faction, I will set you free... I will also treat those surviving members of the Xu clan well and arrange safe places for them to go."

Hearing this, Xu Jiaying's cold expression relaxed, and her eyes shone with light.

She grabbed Jiang Chen's arm with her backhand, so hard that her fingernails curled, but she didn't realize it, as if she couldn't feel the pain.

"You, what did you say? The Xu family, there are still survivors from the Xu family?!"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but in the end, he didn't let go of her hand, and said lightly, "After the incident that year, my Grand Eunuch realized that the situation was not right, so he secretly protected some members of the Xu clan. Now they live in the imperial estate outside the city. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see them."

Xu Jiaying didn't answer.

Her eyes were red, and she stared at Jiang Chen, her eyes showing a moment of fragility, but it was quickly hidden.

Then, she let go of her hand and bowed solemnly to Feng Jin beside her, saying:

"Eunuch Feng, this young woman was rude just now and spoke disrespectfully. I hope you will forgive me!"

"Your kindness, Jiaying will never forget, and will surely repay you handsomely!"

Feng Jin looked at her, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and then he retreated, avoiding this bow.

"Xu Zhaoyi, you are an imperial consort of the Great Wei Dynasty, these are all things that this servant should do, you don't need to be like this."

"If you really want to thank someone, then thank His Majesty!"

Xu Jiaying looked at Jiang Chen with a complex expression.

She had thought that all her relatives had died, and that she was the only one left in the Xu family, wandering in the world like a ghost, with nowhere to return.

She never expected that there were still clan members alive!

Overwhelmed with joy and grief, she didn't know how to react for a moment.

Looking at Xu Jiaying, who was stunned in place, Jiang Chen silently got up and sighed, "I'll leave first. If you change your mind, you can send someone to find me."

"By the way, the Mei family is now powerful, and they have also placed their people in the palace. Be careful and pay attention to your safety. You must not reveal today's conversation, otherwise, those surviving members of the Xu clan may lose their lives."

After saying that, Jiang Chen strode away.

This was all he could do.

When the situation calmed down in the future and the Mei family was captured, he would let Xu Jiaying out of the palace to reunite with her clan members.

Behind him, Xu Jiaying looked at the tall figure, her heart filled with complex emotions, her face sometimes filled with murderous intent and sometimes with painful entanglement.

With her clan members alive, she had a weakness and could no longer be as reckless as before.

However, the hatred in her heart made her unwilling to submit and bow her head to this dog emperor!

A long time later...

A look of determination flashed in her eyes, and tears streamed down her face as she knelt on the ground and swore:

"Father, Mother, your daughter is unfilial and must submit to the enemy!"

"But rest assured, after settling the clan members and killing that old dog Mei Wenshi, your daughter will bewitch this dog emperor's country and let him taste the pain of having nothing!"
