The Stand-In Empress's Wedding Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Grand Duke Martines kept waiting for the right moment to slip powdered sedative into Prince Tessler’s wine glass, but the opportunity never came.
The longer time passed, the more anxious the Duke became.
‘How could he possibly issue such an order?’
He gazed at Prince Tessler before him, thinking to himself.
Rams was the son of Emperor Norton, but also the son of Princess Resilia, his own sister.
He wanted to deny this situation, claiming it was merely a mistake made while drunk, but the target was Tessler.
If the prince ordered his knights to have the assassination guild search the imperial palace, it might take some time, but they would likely find Rams by tomorrow morning.
Thus, Rams needed to be moved somewhere before the assassination guilds could reach him.
But did such a safe place even exist?
Perhaps within the Lapion Imperial Palace?
As Grand Duke Martines thought of a secure location, he recalled the imperial palace and quietly shook his head.
Even if he brought Rams into the palace, there was no one he could trust to safeguard him.
Even though he wasn’t drunk, the Duke’s mind was already in chaos.
“Your Highness, you seem to be drinking too much. Perhaps you should stop now…”
“It’s a day when my stomach churns so badly I can’t help but drink. Martines, why haven’t you emptied your glass?”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
