Xie Yunting pointed out several memorials . His eyes were dark and calm .
“These memorials kill all of them . ”
A light sentence determined life and death in a moment .
These memorials were all picked out amongst the pile of flattery, people who specifically criticized him .
To curse him, of course, was to defy him .
Even the previous emperor did not die a good death . These ants were nothing .
His subordinates immediately carried out his orders .
The eunuch who monitored Bai Weiwei also stopped in . He told him exactly what Bai Weiwei did and how she reacted .
Hearing Bai Weiwei calling him a beast, a traitorous thief, Xie Yunting raised his eyebrows . The corner of his mouth hooked up, and he lets out a loose laugh that made people shudder .

“Really a filial child, knowing that his father was thinking of him1 . I can’t wait to let him accompany his short-lived relatives . ”
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has dropped to -25 . 】
Bai Weiwei heard the reminder and reconfirmed the target was narrow-minded and deserved a beating .
“Teacher, we’ve implicated you . ”
Although Chen Jingzhi was her teacher, he was quite young, still in his twenties . Like Xie Yunting, he was much smarter than the average person .
But unlike Xie Yunting, Chen Jingzhi was unswervingly loyal, no matter how stupid Bai Weiwei was or acted .
He was loyal to her to the end .
Chen Jingzhi frowned, quiet and distant .
“To share a part of the burden of His Majesty’s worries is this small official’s duties . To be implicated in these matters, His Majesty honors this small official2 . ”

Bai Weiwei: “Then why are you being so distant?”
When she stood outside the cell, Chen Jingzhi was initially very close to her .
But before he responded, he changed dramatically, retreating to the wall furthest from her, sticking to it as though wanting to disappear .
Did she have body odor? Was she that disgusting?
Chen Jingzhi looked at her awkwardly and blushed . “Since childhood, this small official has had an instinct for avoiding danger . Seeing Your Majesty, I don’t know why…”
Thinking Bai Weiwei was dangerous and should not be approached . This had never happened before .
Was it possible, His Majesty nowadays seemed to be more… beautiful?
He quickly suppressed these terrible, improper thoughts . Beautiful was a word to describe women, not to describe the emperor .
Bai Weiwei: So she was so ugly3 was that dangerous?

The system alerted her: “That man is here, outside . ”
Bai Weiwei licked her lips, took a deep breath, and then rushed to the cell door .
“Teacher, we’re now a man you can rely on, we will surely save you . ”
Chen Jingzhi was very moved but seeing her watery eyes as if they were reeling him in, he pressed himself even more firmly to the wall .
Today’s Majesty, so terrible, such a feeling of danger .
“An excellent show of affection between teacher and student, unlike this thieving official’s detestable appearance . ”
From behind came a playful voice as light as a feather .
Bai Weiwei shook . Fear flashed in her eyes, but quickly, her stubborn pride forced her to stand straight .
Even though those days were long gone, she had once been a prince, and even she now was the emperor of this dynasty .
Chen Jingzhi clearly saw her reaction and was stunned .
Bai Weiwei turned, seeing Xie Yunting sitting in a chair nearby . She didn’t know how long he had been sitting there .
Xie Yunting also stared at her .
She was small . Perhaps it was because the teenager hadn’t fully grown yet, unexpectedly giving off a sense of overflowing confidence .
Her face was red with anger . She looked less ill, the red adding a touch of brightness .
1: The raws say “her,” but I’m assuming XYT doesn’t know that she’s female . This may be so that the readers know who XYT is referring to without he himself being aware, as the pronouns he and she sound the same when spoken aloud . Since the same can’t be said for English, I’ve taken the liberty to change the pronoun to him . Hopefully it won’t confuse you all too much ^u^ ↩
2: 折煞 : OH BOY this took me a while to figure out . Most descriptions say this is something said during ancient times so I’ll take their word for it . It generally means that one cannot afford (insert good thing), or that due to excessive enjoyment of (insert good thing), one’s life shortens (?) . Like when parents receive their guest’s house gifts and are like “oh no, this is too much you shouldn’t have” but like, taken to another level . ↩
3: 丑得跟老虎一样 as hideous as a tiger (poor tigers) . When I plugged the phrase into Google I got some pictures of white tigers with scrunchy faces (probably a genetic issue) but I’m not sure if those pictures spawned the phrase or if the phrase already existed long ago because people noticed that not all tigers were handsome lol↩
