Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 415
Philip had handled this matter more meticulously than usual. Although he had received a promise from the Imperial Painting Bureau, he couldn’t trust it.
It was because he had plenty of reasons to feel guilty—such as reducing the promised military funds during the Fourth Crusade, the late Grand Duke Aud’s reckless actions, and various other antics that disrupted the Crusaders’ supplies.
What worried him the most was the possibility that Pope Ludovico would approve the Allemagne Amnesty Law while deliberately omitting Jean’s birth year.
Pope Ludovico was an exceptionally crafty man. Philip—correctly—judged that even if he’d secured the port of Pisarino, Ludovico was the kind of person who would still find a way to humiliate him beyond measure.
However, reaching the right conclusion didn’t necessarily mean every step along the way was correct.
Two people had come to report today: Archbishop of Montpellier, who monitored developments at the Imperial Painting Bureau, and Count Rubien, who handled diplomatic operations.
The Archbishop of Montpellier timidly spoke first.
“Year 1122, Lord Jean’s birth year, is undoubtedly included within the period covered by the Allemagne Amnesty Law…”
Philip sensed something was off. He asked brusquely,
“What is it? Why that look on your face?”
The Archbishop of Montpellier wished he could slap his past self with a frying pan for having decided not to attend the Council of San Carlo.
He should have gone to the Council of San Carlo to push for the Allemagne Amnesty Law, which was King Philip IV’s agenda, and he had every right to attend—but he hadn’t.
Initially, this matter had been directly negotiated by Philip IV himself with Pope Ludovico, bypassing the Archbishop entirely—it wasn’t even his responsibility.
He’d avoided going because he didn’t want to bear the blame if, by some slim chance, the proposal was rejected.
It wasn’t outright rejection—but something worse. He now reproached himself for becoming the messenger of such terrible news.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
