The officials in each prefecture were so angry that they all went to the emperor to file a complaint.
The news could no longer be kept secret.
The chief eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in to report.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yunzhao smashed the imperial desk with a single blow in anger.
The memorials fell to the ground with a clatter.
The chief eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, more than a dozen court officials are kneeling at the palace gate awaiting your orders. This matter has escalated to this point; you must give your opinion."
Mo Yunzhao was wearing a black long robe, his hair casually draped over his shoulders.
His neck and chest were covered in suggestive hickeys.
He was sinister and irritable.
"Good, very good. My ninth brother is really capable. I only gave him a little warning and sent him to quell the rebellion and get scolded, but he still gave me such a great gift."
"I will not bow down and compromise. Let those ministers kneel if they want. I want to see just how far Mo Yunhan dares to cause trouble!"
...
A bumpy ride,
We finally arrived at Xiahe Village.
The village chief was anxiously waiting at the village entrance with several strong men.
Seeing so many soldiers arriving in droves, they were all so frightened that they all raised their shovels.
The village chief stomped his feet in anger as he looked at Xiao Zhuang.
"You actually reported it to the authorities? Don't you want to live?"

The villagers simply didn't believe it.
"How could soldiers come if you didn't report to the authorities? You've definitely been tricked."
"That's right, how can such a young lady have such abilities?"
"Village chief, don't waste your breath on them, we absolutely cannot let them into the village."
Xiao Zhuang hurriedly explained.
"Village chief, fellow villagers, this lady is of noble status, and these people are here to protect her."
The village chief looked on with suspicion.
"Is everything you're saying true?"
Xiao Zhuang nodded repeatedly.
"Saving lives is the priority, but we still want the important person to come to the village."
Another villager said anxiously, "Village chief, the soldiers can't enter the village! What if... what if it really is a plague? They'll definitely burn people on the spot. Let that woman in alone. If she can cure it, then we can let her through."
Zheng Qing was utterly speechless.
He sat on horseback, looking down at his horse with a cold snort.
"With just a few shovels, you think you can stop us from going in?"
The village chief panicked when he heard this.
"Even if blood is spilled on the spot, we must protect the villagers."
