Hearing er Empress felt very pleased She didn't wait to ask for Lv Li's opinion and declared that Lv Li was to be given to Zhao wang She also announced that Lv Li would be bestowed upon the title of Lady

I was pleased with how things played out and pretended to instruct Lv Li a feords before walking aith her, clai that there were so Sheng Palace, Lv Li koed to et how Your Majesty saved me today!”

I nodded and then replied in a low voice, ”Lv Li, I know you don't like the idea of ”

Lv Li replied, ”Yes, I don't want to ave him that scratch for a reason But I didn't expect the consequences would be this dire Even the Eot Your Majesty into this mess”

I wanted to ask her why she disliked Zhao wang so ht be a waste of tihed and said, ”Well, as the way things stand now,is the only way to keep you alive I have done my part and the rest of your life is entirely in your hands”
