Although he was somewhat impulsive on this matter, he was not an idiot. Even if he were to speak his mouth or speak hoarsely today, it would be impossible to change his Imperial Mother's opinion. He stepped forward and said in a softer tone, "Imperial Mother, if there is nothing else, your son will take his leave first."

"You are not allowed to leave. This one has something to say." The empress dowager turned to Yao Sisi and said, "Sisi, don't worry. This Dowager will make the decision for you."

"What?" Yao Sisi raised her head in shock. She had no idea what the empress dowager was going to do next. Everything was out of her expectations, and it was reasonable that he had to continue acting. "Esteemed empress dowager, let's forget about this matter."

The empress dowager clearly wanted to take care of her and favor her, thinking that she was worried about being blamed. She looked at Zuo Ruping and asked, "Fan'er, mother is the one who's going to decide on Sisi's behalf. Don't blame her too much."

"Imperial Mother, how can you side with her like this? Who is your son?" Zuo Rulan Fan could not help but enjoy his meal, and his cold face turned even colder.

Yao Sisi thought to herself, what is the empress dowager thinking about for her sake? She clearly said it had nothing to do with her, but wasn't there only three hundred silver taels in this place? She really didn't know if he should thank the empress dowager for adding a new grudge between them, or if he should thank the empress dowager for her love, making her angry once again at that damned man Zuo Rulan Fan.

The empress dowager said sternly, "Nonsense, even if you're This Dowager's own son, you can't humiliate your wife on your wedding night. Let's not talk about the fact that Sisi is the Prime Minister's daughter, what's the point of humiliating her like this and giving face to the Prime Minister? "Even if it's a normal girl, you can't be so cold and detached. Don't tell me you've forgotten all about the etiquette of a teacher?"

"I …" Zuo Lifan was speechless. He looked angrily at Yao Sisi and then at his own mother before lowering his voice and saying, "Please, Imperial Mother, punish me."

The empress dowager's anger had dissipated by half, and she looked meaningfully at Yao Sisi. "Sisi, don't feel bad."

He turned to Zuo Ruping and said, "Since you turned the bridal chamber into a mess last night, I shall punish you. You must stay in Sisi's room for one month."

"What?"

"One month!"

Today was the first time the two of them had such a tacit understanding. They both looked at the empress dowager, making the two of them look like they were on the outside.

"You didn't mishear me. It was a month." Her Majesty repeated these words.

Zuo Rulan Fan was the first to disagree, "I don't agree. Imperial Mother, you can't do this."

Yao Sisi originally wanted to oppose the decision, but when she thought about it again, this decision was beneficial to her and brought her closer to her plan to earn money. She immediately smiled happily at the empress dowager and glanced embarrassedly at Zuo Rulan Fan.

Yes, he didn't see wrongly. He was embarrassed, but not because she wanted to use his body to earn money.

Zuo Rulan Fan, who was running counter to Yao Sisi's contented mood, walked quickly to the empress dowager's side and looked pleadingly at her. "I implore mother to retract her orders."

The Empress Dowager could not understand why such a good wife needed to be avoided. Did the ever-wise and wise little boy not see the difference between thinking and thinking? She was truly anxious. Fortunately, they were already married. She believed that one day, her son would discover Sisi's good fortune and would feel regret for rejecting her today. But now, she had to stand on Sisi's side and give them a chance.

"This one has made up his mind."

Seeing that there was no room for manoeuvre, Zuo Rulan saw a smile at the corner of Yao Sisi's mouth from the corner of her eyes, and the resentment in her heart became uncontrollable. She immediately turned around and once again grabbed Yao Sisi's neck with her large hands, exerting so much strength that Yao Sisi even felt like she was about to die.

"Fan'er, what are you doing?" Quick, let go! "

The empress dowager's reprimand allowed Zuo Rulan Fan's rationality to return to his body and let go of Yao Sisi. "Imperial Mother, don't be fooled by her mask."

"Imperial Mother's judgement is always accurate. It's just that you have to brighten your eyes. Sisi is obviously a piece of unpolished jade."

Yao Sisi rubbed her neck as she gasped for breath. She didn't forget to give the empress dowager a thumbs up in private, as expected, an old woman like the empress dowager had good taste. However, she was moved.

"Esteemed empress dowager, Sisi is afraid. You saw it all, prince! He couldn't wait to kill me. If I returned to the estate, perhaps Sisi might never see Esteemed Empress Dowager again tomorrow." In private, Yao Sisi shot two sharp Eye Knives at Zuo Wanfan.

"Imperial Mother, don't listen to her."

Of course, the empress dowager would believe what she had seen with her own eyes. She knew well that Yao Sisi's words were reasonable, so she thought for a moment before saying to the maidservant, "Go to the emperor and tell him that I must borrow the cold wind for a month."

"Yes, Majesty."

"Muhou, are you trying to embarrass this son of yours?"

The Empress dowager took a sip of tea and said flatly, "It wasn't you who made me look bad, it was you."

Yao Sisi didn't flinch as she looked at Zuo Ruping's hostile eyes. She turned her head and dutifully poured tea into another cup for the empress dowager. "Esteemed empress dowager, that one's cold. Drink this one." The empress dowager smiled dotingly at Yao Sisi, then very cooperatively put down the teacup in her hand and served the tea that Yao Sisi had poured for her.

"Esteemed empress dowager, who's Leng Feng? Is his martial arts very high? "

The empress dowager doted on Yao Sisi's weak little hand. "Sisi is indeed intelligent. Leng Feng is the emperor's secret guard, so his kung fu is naturally not weak."

"Hmph," Zuo Ruping snorted in disdain. Cold wind alone wouldn't be enough to get him organized. However, he didn't know that with his harrumph, he had already sent a message to Yao Sisi, saying that she needed to activate her external aid. "

The empress dowager looked at the two people in a deadlock before taking out a command medallion from her bosom and handing it over to Yao Sisi. She amiably said, "Sisi, this is my command medallion.

Yao Sisi glanced at the gold token in her hands and lightly weighed it in her hand. It was not light at all. Thinking that it would be worth a lot of money even if she were to fuse with this gold medal, she was once again overjoyed at how much she had reaped today.

Yao Sisi couldn't help but reveal a happy expression as she sweetly said, "Thank you, esteemed empress dowager. I love you to death." It was only after she finished speaking that she realized she was overjoyed. How audacious words like these were in this era. Fortunately, the empress dowager didn't dwell on this matter. She happily nodded and accepted her thanks.

"Muhou!" Zuo Rulan Fan was about to say something, but was interrupted by someone who walked in.

"Cold Wind greets the Empress Dowager."

"Leng Feng, the reason why I called you here is to have you protect the Fourth Princess' safety at all times. You can return to the palace to take up your duties one month later."

Although Leng Feng was surprised, he still clasped his hands together out of habit. "Yes, rest assured, Empress Dowager, Leng Feng will not disappoint you."

"The Ling family is tired, all of you can leave!"

The empress dowager wasn't in the mood to argue with Zuo Lifan anymore. She stood up and walked into the inner chambers with the support of the palace maids. No matter how much Zuo Lifan called out to her, she didn't respond.

Yao Sisi didn't stop. She took a few steps forward, approaching Leng Feng and patting him on the shoulder. "It's a pleasure to meet an expert. In the future, I will depend on you for my safety." Leng Feng retreated a few steps back due to the difference between men and women, and said respectfully, "Fourth Princess is being too courteous, this is my duty."

When Zuo Ruping stepped out of the Hall of Peace, Yao Sisi exchanged a few more pleasantries with Leng Feng before she swaggered back to the side of the carriage with Leng Feng and Yuanbao.
