Chapter 495 She Took the Initiative

Yunjing suddenly tightened his grip on An Xuetang's hand.An Xuetang also sensed something, instantly becoming alert, and she smelled...blood.An Xuetang subconsciously looked at Mo Yunjing, both of the...The Emperor's question made Mo Rongyan on the bed startle. After a moment, she covered her face and said, "Father, what do you mean by that"

The Empress was also looking at the Emperor, wanting to know what had happened to make him so angry.

Only to hear the Emperor let out a cold snort, so angry that he pointed his finger at Mo Rongyan's head, "Foolish, utterly foolish!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but remember something else that angered him. He raised his hand again to hit Mo Rongyan, but fortunately, the Empress reacted in time and rushed over, grabbing the Emperor's hand and pleading with a distressed voice:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your servant begs you to stop hitting her. Xiao'er's rash has just gone away, please don't treat her this way."

The Emperor let out a heavy snort and immediately pushed the Empress away, “Get away from me!”

However, with the empress's intervention, the emperor did not continue his attack. He glared at Mo Rongyan on the bed, who was trembling with fright.

"I had intended to take this opportunity to properly discipline that woman who thought she was above everyone else, but with all the commotion you've caused, do you realize the people are completely riled up"

The Empress and Mo Rongyan, mother and daughter, were completely bewildered by his words. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other in confusion.

"Father, what do you mean by that Why are the people rioting Could it be that someone has incited them to try and rebel"

To hear her still ask this question, the Emperor was so angry his teeth ached. If it weren't for the fact that she had just recovered from her illness, he would have her dragged away and beaten thirty lashes right now!

"It wasn't you who caused the trouble! I ask you, what did Xizibo say to you Why did you bring so many people to Jinchuan Temple"

Mo Rongyan pursed her lips, seemingly hesitant to speak. However, seeing the emperor's anger, she bit her lip and said, "It... It was the prince who told his daughter that he felt sorry for his sister because that woman had poisoned her with a deadly poison. His daughter, in a fit of rage,..."

"Stupid! Utterly stupid!"

"The Emperor, furious, pointed at her and roared, 'You're a princess Do you know who Xizibo's sister is She's the princess of Xiliang! To put it plainly, her identity is that of an enemy!' "

"Do you know why the princess of Xiliang went to Beijiang She went there as an assassin, so wouldn't it be normal for a country woman to teach her a lesson"

"You actually listened to Xi Zibo's nonsense, and went to trouble that woman because of it And caused such a commotion! How... how could I have given birth to such a foolish daughter!"

The Emperor had never been so furious with Mo Rongyan before. Mo Rongyan was terrified, especially when she heard the Emperor's icy cold voice. Her hands trembled slightly.

The Empress, upon hearing the Emperor's words, immediately understood his meaning. She helplessly glanced at Mo Rongyan, helpless at her foolishness.

Even if she's really trying to outshine the princess of Xiliang, she shouldn't make such a big fuss about it.

She led so many people out of the city to cause trouble for that woman, yet it was such a flimsy excuse. The common folk would always be easily riled up and stir up chaos if someone just fanned their emotions.

After having slightly vented his anger, the Emperor retreated to one side. He sat down in a chair and glanced at the eunuch beside him.

Then the eunuch stepped forward and continued the emperor's unfinished words.

It turns out that the common people in the capital city are indeed in an uproar. Many of them angrily went to the residence of the Third Princess, shouting for her and the Third Prince Consort to give them an explanation.

Because the news had spread throughout the city, no one knew who started it, but the common people were all aware that the illustrious Princess Consort of Bei Jiang had been confronted by the Third Princess and her entourage.

Moreover, the third princess actually went to trouble the North Border Princess for the enemy country's princess. Keep in mind that the North Border Princess just made great achievements for Tianba, she was the one who destroyed Dàyuè Country!

At first, everyone believed that the downfall of Dayue Kingdom was due to Mo Junyi, the prince of the former Taizi Mansion. However, later rumors spread that this attack on Dayue Kingdom...

Besides Prince Mo Jun Yi, there was also a Northern Border Princess that they had never heard of. It was this mysterious Northern Border Princess who provided a weapon of immense power, allowing Prince Mo Jun Yi to easily conquer the Great Moon Country.

So, in the hearts of the common people, the mysterious Northern Frontier Princess and Prince Mo Junyi were equally indispensable in this battle. Although they hadn't met them yet, they already held them in high regard.

And they all knew that the Princess Consort of Beijang would return to the capital soon, so they were all listening intently, hoping that on the day the Princess Consort returned, they could go to the city gate to greet her.

But they waited for so many days, they did not wait for the news of the Princess Consort of Beijang's return, but instead they received news that the Third Princess had led a thousand soldiers to surround the Princess Consort of Beijang.

And, the third princess even stood up for a foreign princess who was trying to assassinate the Princess of Beijang.

This news quickly spread among the people, igniting their anger. They spontaneously organized themselves and gathered at the gates of the Third Princess's residence, demanding an explanation.

However, Mo Rongyan is currently in the palace and therefore unaware of what her manor has become.

Not only that, but the people also shouted for the emperor to take charge of the situation for the King and Queen of Beijiang.

Because many common people saw the Third Princess making a grand display as she led people out of the city toward Jincang Temple.

Moreover, some people also saw the Emperor's Imperial Guard hurriedly rushing to Jinchuan Temple. So when this news spread, they believed it without any hesitation at all!

After hearing what the eunuch had to say, Mo Rong's face flushed red with anger. "Father, Father, you should know that I didn't bully that lowly woman, it was...it was her...she poisoned me!"

Although she really did bring people to look for An Xuetang, she didn't even have time to do anything to her before this bitch poisoned her.

She hadn't even had time to do anything, now it was that wretched woman trying to assassinate the princess of Tianba Kingdom, why was she the victim instead

The emperor stared at her coldly, "That's why I said you are foolish and ignorant!"

The Empress clenched her fists, gritting her teeth and saying, “It's her! These things must have been spread by her. She actually took the initiative to act first. It seems we can't underestimate this woman from the countryside. She dares to incite the people.”

The Emperor gave her a cold glance. "You're just realizing this now It's too late! If you hadn't assured me, saying that woman had attacked Yan'er, I wouldn't have ordered the Imperial Guard to intervene. Now the people have seen the Imperial Guard rushing out of the city gates. How am I supposed to handle the aftermath"

Don't think he doesn't know that people are already whispering about how he can't stand those with great military achievements.

The Imperial Guard's action of apprehending An Xue Tang further confirmed this rumor.

Although he certainly wanted to find a way to kill the woman, it definitely wasn't at this crucial juncture!

They couldn't simply attack Mo Yunjing anymore, and she was baffled by the emperor’s strange behavior these days.But the Emperor had never cared for blood ties or familia...
