Chapter 37: 036 Prime Minister Residence’s Number One Talented Lady (18) Two More
A mocking smile floated to Bai Zhenzhen’s face right on time.
The Crown Prince, perhaps not yet fully recovered, had a complexion so pale it was nearly transparent, like a lone mountain standing tall.
He looked at the Queen Mother’s indifferent eyes, coughed into his hand, and then said softly, “So that’s how it is.”
“Your Majesty, I advise you to write quickly,” Bai Zhenzhen’s brother, Bai Qianhu, stepped forward and forcefully placed the imperial decree and brush into the emperor’s hand, “What’s more important, your life or your throne? You decide.”
Out of anger, the emperor spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Bai Zhenzhen, watching the emperor take the brush, shared a smile with the Third Prince.
At this moment, the important ministers who followed the Third Prince began to kneel before him one by one, loudly proclaiming, “Long live the Emperor!”
Just then, a voice as cold as ice and snow rang from outside the door, “You two Oscar-caliber actors, that’s enough already. With all this feigned frailty and spitting blood, do you also want me to grant you an award?”
All eyes turned toward the source of the voice, only to see a figure in pale yellow leaning against the doorframe.
Backlit, that half-exposed face seemed to shimmer brilliantly.
At the same time, the emperor, who was supposed to be deathly ill in bed, suddenly sat up, his face showing no signs of sickness.
The palace guards who had originally defected to the Third Prince immediately released the empresses and princes they were restraining, and in an instant, their blades pointed towards the Third Prince, the Queen Mother, and their followers.
Outside the now crowded palace gate, a large troupe of well-armed soldiers suddenly appeared, led by none other than General Su, who had been dispatched to the borders yet had unexpectedly appeared in the Imperial City.
The Third Prince and Bai Zhenzhen’s expressions shifted dramatically. The journey from the borderlands to the Imperial City took at least seven days. By the time General Su received the news and returned, they would have already secured imperial power. How could they have come back so soon?
What happened to his soldiers? Where did they go?
The emperor immediately ordered the arrests and placement of them into the grand prison.
The other ministers who had pledged allegiance to the Third Prince collapsed onto the ground, their legs giving way beneath them.
In their minds rang two large words — Done for!
Who would have known that not only had the Crown Prince recovered, but he had also led the charge in the palace coup with decisive measures today? Such intellect, such strategy and courage, commanded respect!

At the Taiwei Residence.
Wen Taiwei’s concubine had already been promoted to his wife, while Lady Ye was humiliatingly demoted to a side wife.
She was now watching Lady Ye wash her clothes, her eyes filled with mockery as she said, “Wen Yeshi, make sure you clean them properly. With the Third Prince now successful in seizing power, my daughter married to Bai Qianhu, we will be enjoying endless wealth and glory. Listen to me well, and perhaps I might put in a few good words for your son and nephews and nieces.”
The concubine was truly beautiful, which explained why Wen Taiwei would risk the wrath of the Ye Family to keep her.
Lady Ye glanced at her and, thinking of her son, bowed her head again disgracefully and continued to wash the clothes.
“You wretched thing!” The concubine kicked over the basin, causing Lady Ye to fall to the ground and scratch her forehead, “What kind of look is that? Do you think you’re still the high and mighty Lady Ye? Let me tell you, times have changed. If you dare show me disrespect again, I’ll send your niece straight to the brothel!”
The concubine, once only able to watch Wen Yeshi from a distance now savored the odd delight of having her grovel at her feet, “Hurry up, keep washing, and don’t dare ruin them.”
As she was about to say more, Wen Taiwei hurried in from the outer courtyard. He saw Wen Yeshi in coarse clothes, with a bruised head, and his expression changed drastically.

“Quick, get the lady dressed properly, apply the finest white jade ointment,” Wen Taiwei instructed, and then turned to Lady Ye with a very gentle smile, taking her hand, “The Crown Prince and the emperor have captured the traitors. Your uncle has been reinstated. Such joyous news! My lady, let us quickly go to the Ye Residence to offer our congratulations.”
“Get dressed?” Lady Ye heard this and immediately rose, avoiding his hand with a cold laugh, “Why should I change my clothes? I will return to the Ye Residence like this today, to show my brother and sister-in-law what kind of person you, Wen Baihe, truly are!”
“My lady, my lady!” Wen Taiwei’s face changed, he quickly followed her, “Wait a moment, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
He left the concubine standing alone, unable to snap out of the reality that unfolded before her eyes.
Her face turned increasingly pale as she realized her son-in-law was also part of the rebellion.
She had taken all of Wen Yeshi’s dowry.
And scorned and humiliated Wen Yeshi when she was down…
Thinking of this, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot!

Bai Zhenzhen, who had previously built roads and proclaimed her goodness, had casually helped many people, among whom the warden happened to be one of her admirers.
He secretly let the Third Prince and his company escape.
After their release, it was clear they couldn’t stay in the Imperial City any longer. Bai Zhenzhen’s assets had long been confiscated by the emperor, whose reach was feared by all. They had no choice but to seek refuge with a power that could protect them.
“To the Tianji Building,” Bai Zhenzhen decisively said, “That’s the territory of Jiangnan’s richest, and as long as we’re there, not even the emperor would dare to barge in recklessly.”
Bai Zhenzhen had thought this through extensively. Her mind was filled with countless innovative methods; by offering just a few to Jiangnan’s richest, she could make them reliant on her. No one could resist the lure of money. Once she stabilized her position with her modern intellect, she had no worries of living a life of comfort and splendor.
Fang Tuo had been following behind all along, occasionally showing a hint of confusion in his eyes, but after looking at Bai Zhenzhen, that trace of bewilderment eventually dissipated.
Finally, they reached the Tianji Building, where the building’s guards did not stop them but even pointed the way for them.
About to meet the person themselves, both Bai Zhenzhen and the Third Prince were somewhat nervous.
That was Jiangnan’s richest, after all, holding countless fortunes. Even Bai Zhenzhen, self-confident as she was, had to acknowledge the magnificence of the other party. This person in the modern world would be akin to one of the world’s richest individuals.
Compared to them, she was merely a bit clever.
Bai Zhenzhen and the Third Prince, along with others, were curious about what the rarely seen richest magnate actually looked like.
Everyone looked up towards the person who had almost lived only in legends.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the gauze curtains fluttered slowly, revealing a figure reclining lazily inside.
Upon seeing that clear face, as if outlined with ink, everyone who had speculated and whispered fell silent, stunned.
The entire scene became deathly still.
