Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Cai Wei asked with a hint of curiosity, "There’s something I’ve always wondered about. Tianjizi was in cahoots with Jin Guifei and her son, so why didn’t he kill you? Logically, with his mana, it should have been as easy as flipping his hand to kill you, right?" When the past was brought up, a serious look crossed the man’s face as he said, "Tianjizi’s mana was mighty and unfathomable. To gain his support, Duke Li Guo’s Mansion spared no effort in courting him. The reason he didn’t kill me was, firstly, because my maternal grandfather had invested a lot of silver and thought into him, and secondly, because it was better to control Nangong Shi by keeping me alive. If Nangong Shi dared to disobey even a little, Tianjizi would abandon him and support me instead!"

"What a cunning old demon!"

Cai Wei said indignantly, "Thank goodness he’s dead, or the one sitting here wouldn’t be you!"

Feeling emotional, Nangong Yi said, "Thank heaven I was wise and held fast to Madam’s coattails, or right now I’d likely be sitting in the Clan Mansion’s dungeon, keeping rats company!"

As he spoke, he called out loudly to Yang Yong, who was following them at a distance.

"Fetch a jar of liquor, I want to toast the Empress three cups!"

Cai Wei said softly, "Isn’t that a bit too formal, Yi? There’s no need for such formality between us!" Googlᴇ search NoveI[F]ire.net

By then, the night had deepened, and the darkness veiled the man’s sly expression. She mistook his words for heartfelt gratitude, thinking he was thanking her for helping him destroy Tianjizi!

The man said seriously, "That may be true, but I always remember the shocking moment when you helped me destroy Tianjizi, and the scene when you suddenly appeared after I was trapped in the north due to a lack of grains and straws, with no way out."
