Chapter 1963: Advance by Retreat
at all.Mo Yunjing's dark pupils were like the night, both tranquil and mysterious. The light that emanated from them was unfathomable, and he stared at An Xuetang silently, as if trying to see throug...If Zhi'er hadn't said these words, it would have been fine. But now, every word she uttered only fanned the flames of anger in the emperor's heart.
Just as Zhi'er finished speaking, before Mo Yunze could explain himself, the emperor suddenly shouted towards the Imperial Study, "Someone!"
After his roar, over a dozen Imperial Guards rushed into the imperial study.
Seeing this commotion, Mo Yunze immediately realized what was going on. He looked flustered and hurriedly said, “Father, Father, please calm down. Your son truly didn’t mean it. Your son truly has no disrespect for the Empress. Please, Father, see things clearly.”
Whatever Mo Yunze said at this moment, the emperor didn't care at all. He didn't care what he thought or whether he had offended Zhi'er.
After the Imperial Guard rushed in, the Emperor roared, “Drag this wretch out! Beat him thirty lashes and throw him out of the palace. Let him be confined to his manor for ten days!”
Mo Yunze: "!"
At the prospect of being flogged thirty strokes and confined for ten days, Mo Yunze's eyes widened in alarm, his features contorted into a mask of rage.
Extremely resentful, he clearly hadn't done anything!
He entered the palace today to discuss matters concerning the Northern Border Prince's Mansion with his father.
This morning, he also received news about the Bei Jiang Wangfu.
So I want to enter the palace and have a good talk with his father, Emperor, to see if we can do something before Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang return to the capital.
Especially, now word has spread through the capital that Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang already have two sons, twins.
He had intended to use this incident to turn the Beijang王府 upside down.
The Emperor's house bore twins, a bad omen requiring one to be eliminated.
Even if he can't do anything to the Bei Jiang Wangfu right now, he can still use this twin thing to make Mo Yun Jing and An Xue Tang watch their own son die.
He'd get to see which son, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang were willing to abandon.
If even one person is unwilling to give up, the common people of this world will absolutely not just rest.
It is known that throughout history, twin births in the royal family have always resulted in either both children drowning or one dying.
What can Mo Yunjing do as a war god
This is a rule passed down from our ancestors. If we don't drown one of his sons, it will be an ill omen for the entire Tianba Kingdom, and it may even harm the common people.
So he was going to make a big deal out of this, trying to bring down Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's arrogant attitudes!
But who knew, this matter he and his father emperor hadn't discussed how to proceed.
Here comes Concubine Zhier.
He came anyway, and he didn't care if anyone was listening.
Who would have thought that this shameless woman has only been here for so long
He managed to sow discord between him and his father with just a few words.
And his father, like a man without his own thoughts, actually sent the Imperial Guard in just because of this woman's few words.
Should he still be beaten thirty times and confined for ten days
What in the world is he getting into!
Naturally, Mo Yunze was unwilling to accept such a result.
He looked at the emperor and stammered, trying to explain himself.
The emperor showed no willingness to listen, and had not a shred of patience for him.
At this, the emperor pointed to the Imperial Guards and ordered them forward.
And these Imperial Guards only took orders from the Emperor, so even though he was a Prince, they still directly controlled him, dragging him out without saying a word.
Mo Yunze panicked, "Father... Father, you can't do this. I truly didn't mean any disrespect to the Empress Consort."
Mo Yunze was still struggling, but unfortunately, the emperor could only see Zhi'er in his eyes.
The emperor's gaze remained fixed on Zhi'er's face. When the Imperial Study returned to quiet, his hand still gently caressed Zhi'er's face as he softly coaxed, "My beloved, are you feeling better now"
Only then did Zhi'er reveal a satisfied smile, and proactively pecked the emperor on the face, "As expected, Your Majesty loves your concubine and is willing to uphold justice for me."
Seeing her smile, the emperor's smile widened, "I would do anything for my beloved consort, as long as she is happy."
Hearing this, Zhi'er immediately giggled a few times, "Your Majesty, is that true Does your Majesty truly do whatever his concubine asks"
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "Of course, what is it Does my beloved have something she needs me to do"
"It's not a big deal, Your Majesty keeps saying you love me, but I'm afraid you don't know that these past few days I haven't slept well and feel deeply wronged."
"Your servant has seen Your Majesty's hard work these past few days and dared not speak much to avoid adding to Your Majesty's worries."
Upon hearing Chi'er's words, the Emperor immediately darkened his face, a hint of anger flickering across it. "Who Who dares to wrong my beloved consort They are asking for death!"
The emperor's anger on his face was palpable at this moment. Zhi'er, seeing him so furious, couldn't help but smirk at the corner of her mouth.
But she also knew that much of the emperor's fury on display at this moment was performative.
She slowly placed her hand over the emperor's chest, her finger circling his heart without haste, not yet revealing who had wronged her.
The more Chi'er remained silent, the more her evasive behavior fueled the emperor's anger.
Here, the emperor held her waist in one hand and slammed the table with the other, "My beloved concubine, what are you afraid of As the ruler of a country, can I not give you justice"
"My beloved consort, quickly tell me, who is so bold as to dare mistreat my favorite"
"Speaking of this, the emperor's angry eyes narrowed slightly, gritting his teeth and saying, "If my beloved doesn't speak, could it be that she thinks I am incapable of avenging her That I am incapable of exacting revenge for her"
After whetting the emperor's appetite, Chi’er began her performance.
I saw her eyes gradually turn red, and tears began to well up in them. She looked extremely pitiful and wronged. Her voice trembled and became very weak as she said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you know that recently the woman in Kunning Palace has been constantly causing trouble for me"
Upon hearing Zhī'er mention Kunning Palace, the anger on the emperor's face instantly dissipated.
Zhier had been keeping a close eye on the emperor's expression, and naturally, she didn't miss this subtle change.
A flash of hatred crossed Zhi'er's eyes, but on her face she still continued to speak in a pitiful voice, "Your Majesty, I know my status is low and I can't compare to the one in Kunning Palace."
"Therefore, being bullied and troubled is what I deserve, Your Majesty. Please don't mind what I said just now. Just pretend I never said anything."
After saying this, Zhi'er wanted to step back and immediately get up from the emperor's legs.
The emperor tightened his grip on her waist, keeping her seated on his lap. wanted to chase after, An Xuetang immediately shouted, "Yunliu, stop!""!"Yunliu was startled. He turned his head to look at the entrance of the study and immediately bowed to Mo Yunjing and An Xuetan...
