Xiao Dingli is a sycophant.
In the eyes of the world, he was the uncle of the new emperor, but he violated the imperial edict and killed Qing ministers and coerced his nephew. He was surly and committed all kinds of evil, and he blackmailed the emperor to order ministers. The court historians criticized him verbally and written, and the puppet emperor feared and hated him. He was burdened with infamy and was a thorn in the hearts of ministers and emperors. Everyone wanted to get rid of him.
The only exception was Jizhao.
She is a female official close to the puppet emperor, and she is also the young lady of the Poyang Palace with whom Xiao Dingli was exiled when he was young and had a life-saving relationship with him.

Seventeen years ago, Jizhao was a stunningly talented young lady from the palace. After she turned seventeen, she was ordered by her father to enter the palace as a female official. Her responsibility was to help the new emperor eliminate his political enemies, return power to the emperor, and restore peace to the court and the world.
She planned step by step with the forbearing emperor, demoted corrupt officials and killed enemies, until the new emperor became full-fledged and pointed his sword at the regent who did all evil.
In order to get rid of him, the new emperor ordered the most trusted female official to change her name and lurk in the Regent's Palace to seize evidence of this person's crime.
The night before leaving, the new emperor went to his desk and spoke to her.
"This man is a treacherous, selfish, evil-doer. I and the court must get rid of him quickly."
People all over the world hated him and called him a sycophant and a traitor. Only seventeen-year-old Jizhao once held up a lamp on a snowy night and caught a glimpse of this powerful minister working hard and working hard for the turbulent dynasty.
She knew that he had no treason, and she also knew that he was truthful and loyal despite his despicable flesh and blood.
After distinguishing the true from the false, the fate that the new emperor originally ordered for her could no longer fall on him.

The internal troubles had not been resolved, but the border generals rebelled in the name of the Qing emperor. In order to protect their homeland and the capital, the people and ministers all knelt under the city tower and begged him to commit suicide.
The female official stood opposite and asked him in a clear voice why he didn't defend himself.
Xiao Dingli put aside all his determination to kill and smiled loudly at Ji Zhao.
"Azhao, just think of me as a despicable and sycophantic person."
Everyone in the world does not want him to die, but now that the matter has come to an end, no one cares about his clear explanation.
Xiao Dingli has never had a good reputation.
He wanted to die to do one last thing for the dynasty, but the female official opposite him personally stopped his sword, stretched out her hand to save him from suffering from serious illness and infamy, and then held his hand to save this turbulent dynasty.
She had saved him once when she was seventeen, so why not save him again when she was twenty-two.
