Mo Yunzhao's tone was very harsh.
"Does the Emperor Emeritus also intend to concern himself with this matter?"
The old eunuch looked bewildered.
"What is it, Your Majesty?"
He glanced at the corpse in the courtyard and Mo Shaoze kneeling on the ground, then at the chaotic scene inside the hall.
He hurriedly and tremblingly bowed towards the inside of the hall.
"This old servant greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager and all the noble ladies."
"This old servant deserves to die. I had no intention of disturbing you. It's just that after the banquet, the Ninth Princess Consort stayed with the Emperor Emeritus and was only just taken away by His Highness the Ninth Prince. The Emperor Emeritus heard about the Golden Dragon, which is why he summoned me so urgently."
Mo Yunzhao was stunned.
"You mean, the Ninth Princess Consort has been staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
The old eunuch bowed and replied, "It was this old servant who personally went to wait for the Ninth Princess outside Zhaoyang Palace. Aunt Jinzhan from the Empress's palace was also there at the time, and she can testify to that."
Jinzhan hurriedly knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down her face.
"Your Majesty, I did see her, but I didn't know that the Ninth Princess Consort had not left the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Yun Xiaoran said anxiously, "Impossible, Jiang Qingwan clearly came to Yunshui Palace, how could she..."
Mo Shaoze interrupted her.
“Princess Yun, how do you know so much? Did your people spread the news? How could you frame me like this? Aren’t you trying to kill me? I have no grudge against you.”
Yun Xiaoran had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it.
He rushed to see the Empress Dowager.
One of the concubines was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
"The eunuch who claimed to have seen the Ninth Princess is dead. Your Majesty, what will become of my innocence?"
Many people also knelt down, crying and sobbing.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! Please see the truth!"
"Your Majesty, please say something!"
The Empress Dowager was so disgusted she felt like vomiting.
She had just been kissed on the thigh by a man who had lost his penis.
The body, which had not been touched for a long time, produced a strange sensation.
I was so angry I wanted to peel off my own skin and wash it.
However, all the evidence proved that Mo Shaoze and Jiang Qingwan were innocent.
This play can't be performed at all; the truth can't be revealed.
With a sullen face, she was helped out.
"Anyone who dares to spread even a single word about what happened today will be killed without exception."
She ignored everyone and left.
Mo Shaoze shouted loudly.
"Congratulations to grandma."
The Empress Dowager staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He gave him a cold look.
"Don't ever show your face in the palace again. Get out."
"Your grandson obeys the decree."
Mo Shaoze obediently kowtowed and then bowed to Mo Yunzhao. Without even entering the palace, he left with Xiao Jiangzi, carrying lotus pods and lotus flowers.
He only let out a breath after walking a long way to a secluded place.
Xiao Jiangzi whispered.
"Your Highness, my legs are weak."
If those people have truly succeeded in their scheme today, their lives will be lost at Shuiyun Palace.
Mo Shaoze, no longer the submissive man he had been, revealed a cold glint in his eyes and gave a self-deprecating smirk.
"I never expected that even after I hid in the villa, someone would still be thinking about me. If it weren't for her today..."
The thought of Jiang Qingwan seemed to still stir the emotions in his heart.
His fingers unconsciously rubbed together lightly, but then immediately released them as if stung.
"Let's go. Let's pretend nothing happened today."
At this moment, outside the palace walls,
Ye Qi and Qing Sui were driving the carriage towards the Prince's Mansion.
Both of them were covered in mud.
Half an hour ago, they were awakened by Jiang Qingwan and were surprised to find themselves trapped in a lotus pond, with the water already above their chests.
And they were completely oblivious, as if possessed.
Even now, thinking about it still makes me feel lingering fear.
Ye Qi regretted not carrying the Bagua mirror that Jiang Qingwan had given him with him. He secretly vowed that even if he were killed by the prince's gaze, he would never part with it.
Inside the carriage,
Mo Yunhan looked at Jiang Qingwan, who was leaning leisurely against the carriage, and felt quite helpless.
"Don't go to the palace again."
Jiang Qingwan looked up at him.
"Are you the emperor? Do you have the final say in this matter? When you secretly arranged the marriage without telling me, why didn't you think of this?"
Mo Yunhan was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
He muttered something under his breath.
"sorry."
Jiang Qingwan sighed softly.
"I am a cultivator, and ordinary poison powders and medicines have no effect on me. You don't need to worry about these things. The jealousy and rivalry among the women in the inner quarters is none of your business."
Mo Yunhan was displeased.
"You are my queen."
Jiang Qingwan glanced at him again.
Thinking of Murong Yanyan, my feelings are very complicated.
I feel both heartache and worry.
Unwilling to dwell on these emotions, she leaned lazily against the carriage and asked, "Did you arrange Qin Minglang's affair?"
Already displeased, Mo Yunhan felt even more aggrieved. His deep, dark eyes, as if tinged with the colors of autumn, fell upon Jiang Qingwan, and he spoke coolly.
Are you very worried about him?
The next moment, he was kicked in the calf.
"Speak properly."
For some reason, Mo Yunhan felt a little sweet inside after being kicked, and casually straightened his robes.
“I received news that someone contacted those people’s families to cause trouble at the execution ground, so I arranged for Liu Ruzhi to rescue them. I just didn’t expect that these people would be instigated to cause trouble at the Hundred Banquet, damaging the royal family’s reputation. They have no chance of survival.”
He sighed softly.
"I will do my best to mediate and save the lives of the women and children."
Jiang Qingwan's heart softened.
Outsiders say that Mo Yunhan is a demon god, the son of a cold-blooded and ruthless monster, and a scourge to the Great Zhou.
