A possessive and obsessive Prince? A dark-bellied Princess Consort with the support of a system that grants mastery over both medicine and poison. A journey of mutual devotion...
Mobeichen, t...
The emperor's expression stiffened slightly as he looked at Liu Decai standing to the side.
He gestured with his eyes, indicating that he had said that.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Liu Decai quickly shrank back like a quail.
The emperor could tell from his expression that he had messed things up, and he cursed inwardly: "You dog servant."
To save face, the Emperor coughed and nodded, saying, "Ahem, yes, of course I prepared a gift, but..."
"Really? Zeyan, Qianyue, did you hear that? Your kind uncle has prepared a lot of gifts for you. Quickly thank your uncle."
Yun Qingluo interrupted the Emperor directly, and happily lowered her head to coax the two little ones.
The emperor was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
He hadn't finished speaking.
Sure enough, seeing that couple made me angry.
The Emperor's face turned cold. "Your Highness, I am discussing important matters. What kind of behavior is this with two children here? Guards, take the children to the Empress for her to see."
The door was opened, and two eunuchs came in. They went over to take the child from Yun Qingluo's arms.
Yun Qingluo dodged the outstretched hand, and the Emperor's expression turned displeased.
"What does Your Highness mean by this?" the Emperor asked in a deep voice.
Yun Qingluo remained calm. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My child is shy around strangers and only allows close family members to hold him, except for me."
"Why don't we have Qiushui and Qiuyue take it to the Empress? That way, we can discuss serious matters."
The Emperor's eyes darkened slightly. "Does the Princess Consort suspect me?"
Yun Qinglu smiled slowly, "Your Majesty is joking, but as parents, we always think about our children's needs. More importantly, I'm not afraid Your Majesty will laugh at me, but my two children are really shy around strangers."
The emperor didn't believe it and insisted that the eunuch beside him take the two children.
Yun Qingluo's heart tightened, but the dog emperor was watching her every move closely.
Yun Qingluo appeared calm, but a hint of worry was visible in her eyes.
Others may not know the two children, but she, as their mother, knows them very well.
These two children are not shy at all.
Just as the eunuch's hand touched the two children, they suddenly burst into tears.
Yun Qingluo was startled, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Did they understand?
As the cries of the two children grew louder, the emperor grew impatient.
Frowning, he flicked his sleeve and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, get out of here. Let Qiu Shui and Qiu... Qiu Yue come in and take the child away."
Yun Qingluo breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
She lowered her head and gently coaxed the two children, and they immediately stopped crying.
Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue came in to hold the baby. Meeting their worried eyes, Yun Qingluo shook her head slightly.
Once the imperial study quieted down, the emperor resumed his dignified and imposing demeanor.
The Emperor asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Regent's Consort returned to the capital alone. Why didn't she return to the residence with the Regent?"
Yun Qinglu lowered her head, thinking to herself: What does this have to do with you?
Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never been away from my father and mother for so long. I missed them so much that I came back to see them ahead of time."
Besides, the Prince is very busy and will definitely return to the capital with the army. How could I dare to delay military affairs?
The emperor raised his eyes and gave her a cold look.
There's nothing wrong with what they said.
The Emperor said, "I have also heard that the Regent has destroyed the Tianlang Kingdom. Why was such a major event not reported to me?"
Yun Qingluo took a deep breath.
Damn it, are you setting a trap for her here?
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of state, a matter of the court. How dare I, a mere woman, speak of such things? Didn't my lord inform you? I thought he had written a memorial to you..."
Of course, Your Highness has your reasons for doing this, but I've heard that the people of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom have gone too far. They've been cursing Your Majesty, calling you muddle-headed, tyrannical, and unreasonable..."
"Bang!"
The emperor swept all the memorials on the table onto the floor.
Yun Qingluo was startled, but remained calm. However, considering that her child was not around, she did not continue speaking.
The Emperor looked at Yun Qingluo with a gloomy expression. "Your Highness, is this really true?"
Yun Qingluo glanced at the Emperor, and her heart trembled when she saw the murderous intent in his eyes.
He quickly calmed down; he didn't dare kill himself.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. These are just hearsay and should not be taken seriously. We will have to wait for the Prince to return and ask him for details," Yun Qingluo said calmly.
The Emperor sneered, "Oh? Is that so? But I heard that it was because of the Princess that the Regent destroyed the Tianlang Kingdom in a fit of rage?"
Yun Qingluo was taken aback. He had already found out?
It's pretty fast.
"Your Highness is surprised that I know? I also know that the envoy from the Sirius Kingdom was originally planning to make peace with our country, but the Regent pulled this stunt. Does Your Highness know the details?"
When Yun Qingluo heard the Emperor bring the matter to the forefront, she stopped pretending for a moment.
"Your Majesty knows a lot. But does Your Majesty know that when the envoy came to my camp to negotiate, he brought my belongings and threatened the Regent to cede cities?"
It's like this: you were about to make peace, but suddenly a group of people came to your door and said that the empress was in their hands. If you wanted the empress to be safe, you should quickly hand over the throne.
If this were the Emperor's situation, what would he have done?
Although things are far from that serious, Yun Qingluo is a master of making empty promises.
"The Regent truly puts himself in the Emperor's shoes to consider the issue, which is why he made such a decision. The Emperor is not only the Emperor of Tianmo Kingdom, but also the monarch of the people of Tianmo. How could the Emperor bear to let the people suffer? How could the Emperor willingly cede cities to that ambitious Tianlang Kingdom?"
"So, according to you, the Regent did all this for my sake?" The Emperor's voice was unreadable, but Yun Qingluo knew he was angry.
He had always suspected that Mo Beichen wanted to take his place, so he couldn't stand anyone saying that Mo Beichen did all that for him and that no one else would do it.
However, Yun Qingluo's purpose in entering the palace today was to provoke him.
"Oh, so that's what His Majesty thinks too. If that's what you think, that's wonderful!" Yun Qingluo feigned surprise.
However, Yun Qingluo's next words left the emperor no time to be angry.
"Your Majesty, I have another matter to report to the palace today. Since I left the capital until I returned, there have been no shortage of assassinations along the way. I would like to ask Your Majesty to do justice for me and thoroughly investigate the murderers."
Yun Qingluo suddenly became serious, and after speaking, she took out a package from her sleeve.
She looked around and then fixed her gaze on Liu Decai. Liu Decai glanced at her, then reluctantly walked over and took the package.
"Your Majesty, I found these things on the assassin. When I arrived at the border, I asked my prince about them."
The prince said these things only exist in the palace, so these assassins must have come from the palace. He asked the emperor to take action.
The Emperor didn't look at the items, but instead asked, "What? You think I did it?"
