The day Princess Chang got married, late at night Li Huaiyan came to my palace.

He was heavily drunk, constantly calling out "Si Yao."

I knew he had secretly ordered the guards not to touch Princess Chang at all.

Even as an emperor, he couldn't control this ridiculous possessiveness.

But how could he control what happened outside the palace?

At dawn, a eunuch hurriedly reported, "Something happened at Princess Chang's residence."

When Li Huaiyan arrived, Princess Chang was frantically wiping her body.

Her body was covered in bruises, especially around her neck, where the marks of intimacy between a man and a woman were clearly visible.

The Marquis was lying on the ground, a sharp knife inserted in his chest.

It was a short blade meticulously crafted by Li Huaiyan for Princess Chang's birthday last year.

It was evident what had happened in the room.

When Princess Chang saw Li Huaiyan, she quickly tried to throw herself into his arms.

But Li Huaiyan stepped back.

Princess Chang missed her target, disappointment evident in her eyes.

Li Huaiyan ordered the body to be carried out, along with the short blade.

No one noticed a maid quietly taking the incense burner from the table.

Li Huaiyan had intended to suppress the incident, but somehow the Su family found out.

They brought their grievances to the Emperor, and it was the Empress who finally resolved the matter.

Princess Chang was confined to her residence, while I was sent to the cold palace because someone provided evidence exposing me as the one who spread the rumors.

After all the trouble, the Empress reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
