When Emperor Hui and the Imperial Master came closer, they saw Mo Linyuan holding Mu Nanyan standing aside, facing Concubine Rou in a defensive posture.
Emperor Hui couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Is Concubine Rou bullying Yan'er and the others?
Before he could guess, he heard Mu Nanyan's complaints.
[Wow, Daddy, we were almost pushed into the water by your concubine]
Mu Nanyan wiped away her non-existent tears and looked at Emperor Hui pitifully.
Emperor Hui watched her performance and inexplicably felt like laughing. Looking at her little eyes, it made people feel distressed.
[Luckily, Brother Yuan was here to save my life]
[Look at your concubine, she is wearing so little clothes, like a colorful butterfly. She came here just for you.]
When Emperor Hui heard her say this, he glanced at the concubine, saw the shocking scene, and quickly looked away.
Thinking of what she said about Concubine Rou wanting to harm them, Emperor Hui's face darkened and he couldn't help but spit out anger.
Seeing Emperor Hui's gloomy face, Concubine Rou was so scared that she almost collapsed. If she had known earlier, she would not have been so impulsive.
Mu Nanyan continued to mutter.
[But she met us first, just like flirting with a blind man, and when she failed to achieve her goal, she got angry out of shame.]
[Oh, I really envy Daddy. There is always someone who cares about him, and she is a beauty. No wonder so many people want to be the emperor.]
[There are so many beauties in the palace, Daddy must be too busy to take care of them all. Mommy often sighs and only hopes that Daddy will come to see her]
Mu Nanyan read in a book that the Late Concubine often sighed, and she felt a little indignant for her.
The series of complaints left Emperor Hui dumbfounded. He didn't know where his daughter learned so many words, and some of them were extremely outrageous.
However, he would not blame Mu Nanyan, he just felt that it was a bit strange for her to say that, as if she was trying to seduce him.
There was an indescribable feeling, which he deliberately ignored.
After learning the general situation from Yan'er, he asked Mo Linyuan about what happened.
"Yuan'er, tell me, what exactly happened?" Emperor Hui's attitude was somewhat tough.
But he was not targeting Mo Linyuan, nor did he take his anger out on Mo Linyuan because of his failure to protect him.
It was just to maintain the emperor's dignity and behave like this in front of others.
Mo Linyuan did not hide anything and explained everything in detail.
"Your Majesty, the little princess and I were enjoying the flowers when a woman appeared out of nowhere and tried to push us into the lotus pond. Fortunately, I have some kung fu skills, so I escaped this disaster." Mo Linyuan said lightly, without any blame in his tone.
Unexpectedly, Mo Linyuan, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, could scold people without shedding blood.
Hehe, she likes it.
Now, Concubine Rou is in trouble.
Concubine Rou's heart tightened. Oh no, the emperor was going to be angry.
As expected, Emperor Hui scolded Concubine Rou: "You vicious woman, how dare you poison my princess? Come, drag her away."
Suddenly, tears started streaming down Concubine Rou's face, her eyes were filled with pear blossoms in the rain, which made people feel pity for her.
Mu Nanyan: I will just watch your performance quietly.
Don't think that I didn't see your murderous intent just now. It's too late to beg for mercy now.
How can you be so vicious that you can even harm children?
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life. I promise that I will never do this again, Your Majesty."
Upon learning that she was going to die, Concubine Rou lost all strength and fell to the ground.
If she had known that the little princess the emperor cared about was here, she would not have come.
Now that I have been caught by the emperor, it seems that my hope of surviving today is slim.
She really regrets it.
But there is no use regretting. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, and the emperor's concubine is no exception.
Many concubines in the palace could not wait for the emperor's favor and would be insulted and attacked by other concubines and despised by servants. Especially for those concubines without status and background, their lives were miserable.
Therefore, many concubines spared no effort to seduce the emperor, praying that he would look at them and gain the emperor's favor so that they could have a place in the harem.
Concubine Rou had the same idea, thinking that she could regain Emperor Hui's favor, but she didn't expect to use the wrong method.
The guards were about to drag Concubine Rou away. While she was struggling, Emperor Hui heard his daughter's mumbling and wanted to see what she was thinking.
[It's a pity for this beauty. She didn't seduce my father, but got herself into trouble and lost her life in vain.]
[However, there must be something hateful about this poor man]
[Brother Yuan and I have no grudge against her, yet she wants to harm us]
[I guess he has harmed many people in the past, so now he is helping the people get rid of harm.]
After hearing Mu Nanyan's analysis, Emperor Hui felt that it made some sense.
He waved his hand, signaling the guards to deal with Concubine Rou’s matter quickly.
There are always a lot of dirty things in the palace. He usually doesn't have time to take care of the affairs of the harem, as they are all taken care of by the queen.
Now that he has encountered this situation, he will intervene.
The only thing to blame is Concubine Rou for being so vicious that she actually set her sights on Yan'er.
She and Yuan'er's child was only a few years old, but she was willing to do it.
[Dad, you made a wise decision. There is one less troublemaker in the palace.]
[If other people in the palace met Concubine Rou, and they were not as lucky as us, the ending would be predictable]
If other palace maids had met Concubine Rou, they might have been killed by her long ago, and there might have been one more wronged soul in the palace.
Mu Nanyan felt that she had done a good deed.
When Emperor Hui heard Yan'er say that he was wise, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He did not manage his harem well, otherwise the situation today would not have happened.
Yan'er's words were wise, and he really didn't deserve it.
After Concubine Rou left, the place instantly became quiet.
After this incident, Mo Linyuan decided to intensify his training and improve his strength to a higher level, otherwise how would he be able to protect the little princess in the future.
He looked at Mu Nanyan, his eyes full of tenderness.
Emperor Hui took Mu Nanyan from Mo Linyuan and saw that she was unharmed. He immediately felt relieved. Fortunately, she was okay.
There must be more than one person in this palace who wants to harm my daughter, so he must keep a close eye on her.
However, he would also be lax sometimes, so he decided to send secret guards to protect her in secret, so that nothing would go wrong.
From today on, Emperor Hui has promised the Imperial Master to let Mo Linyuan stay with Mu Nanyan.
But Mo Linyuan would take time every day to practice martial arts and read books. During that time, when he was not protecting Mu Nanyan, the secret guard could play his role.
As an old father, he is really worried about his daughter.
He cares about his other children, but not as much as he does Mu Nanyan.
As for the reason behind this, Emperor Hui couldn't explain it clearly, but Yan'er could sense his thoughts.
Maybe it was because when he was a child, his mother taught him to solve all problems on his own. Over time, his personality became somewhat cold and he did not attach much importance to family affection.
Perhaps, Yan'er could make him more humane.
