Chapter 250 The Regent's Protection
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am pregnant and cannot squat for long. My legs were weak and I almost fell. I just stood up.
I believe the Empress Dowager is also a mother, and will certainly understand me." Yun Wansheng ignored the palace maid and lowered her attitude, hoping that the young Empress Dowager would stop.
A cold light flashed in Xie Fengying's eyes. "I do understand a mother's love for her child, but how can you compare with me? You stood up without my permission. What crime do you deserve for disregarding my authority?"
Yun Wansheng looked at the Empress Dowager who came with malicious intent, her eyes filled with vigilance. "Empress Dowager, I acknowledge my mistakes. I beg you to forgive me this time, considering my husband's contributions to the Shunshang Kingdom."
Now that Mu Xingci is not at home, she can't confront her head-on and put herself at a disadvantage.
"Princess Regent, are you reminding me that it was your Mu family army that conquered Shunshang Kingdom?"
When Yun Wansheng saw that she deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, she knew that the Empress Dowager was not going to let her off easily.
I don’t know how Mu Xingci offended her, making her so aggressive and want to punish me.
"Your Majesty...Empress Dowager, that's not what I meant. Please understand." Yun Wansheng could only kneel down and pretend to be panicked.
"I think that's what you mean. My Shunshang Kingdom was founded by our ancestors. How can it be the sole achievement of your Mu family? You are so proud of yourself and yet you don't know what to do to seek credit and apologize. In my opinion, you don't take my Xiahou Dynasty seriously at all.
"How can I forgive you for disrespecting the merits of the Xiahou Dynasty? Come, give her fifty lashes of the cane," Xie Fengying ordered coldly.
She just didn't believe that this cold-hearted man would really like a widow who was destined to bring bad luck to her husband. There must be some reason that she didn't know.
So, today she wanted to test whether the man really doted on a widow, or whether he was deliberately trying to hide the fact that he was impotent.
If the child in this woman's belly was a bastard, Mu Xingci would definitely not offend himself for her.
But if this child is really his, he can also take the opportunity to warn him that if he wants his family to be safe in the future, he must obey him.
Yun Wansheng was unaware of her dirty thoughts. Seeing the two guards approaching her, she quickly ran to the table, took out the pistol from the drawer and pointed it at them.
"Don't move! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
When the two guards saw her, they instinctively stopped and looked at what she was holding.
"Catch her for me! If she dares to resist, execute her immediately!" A trace of viciousness flashed in Xie Fengying's eyes.
She was just a commoner woman after all, so if she died, she died. She didn't believe that Mu Xingci would go against her for a little woman with no background like her.
At this moment, Wu's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I request to see you!"
Xie Fengying chuckled when she heard this. "Madam Mu, I don't have time to summon you now. You can come in again after I've severely punished this deceitful widow."
When Mrs. Wu outside the door heard this, she looked a little panicked and wanted to force her way into the house, but the guards outside stopped her.
"Empress Dowager, if you have anything to say, please wait until the Regent comes back and let him give you an explanation then." Wu said anxiously.
"Madam Mu, there's no need to trouble the Regent with such a small matter." After Xie Fengying finished speaking, she signaled with her eyes, and the two guards pounced on Yun Wansheng at the same time.
"Bang!" As a strange noise rang out in the room, a scream also reached the ears of everyone present.
Xie Fengying stared at the hidden weapon in the woman's hand with wide eyes: "You... you are so bold, how dare you hurt my people!"
"Empress Dowager, you forced me to do this. If you want to kill the baby in my belly, I will fight you to the death." Yun Wansheng couldn't care less now. She just wanted to save her child.
"Bitch! Do you still want to kill me?"
"I dare not! But if it comes to that, I don't mind dying with you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Fengying was furious. She never thought that a commoner girl would dare to challenge her, the Queen Mother. Did she really think that after becoming the Regent Princess, she could do whatever she wanted without restraint?
"Someone come quickly! This bitch is trying to assassinate me, kill her immediately!"
Following her command, the dozen or so guards she brought with her rushed into the room.
Wu wanted to go in and plead for mercy, but was stopped by two guards. No matter how loudly she pleaded outside, it was of no avail. She only heard a few strange noises and the screams of the guards coming from the room, which made her stand there in confusion, because the sounds inside all belonged to men, and she did not hear her daughter-in-law's.
Everyone in the room was frightened when they saw four people fall down in succession.
Yun Wansheng took the opportunity to quickly change the magazine and aimed at them again.
When Xie Fengying saw this woman, she looked like she was ready to kill everyone and there was a murderous look in her eyes.
Just when she was about to issue the killing order again, she suddenly heard Wu's anxious voice coming from outside the courtyard.
"Xingci! You're finally back. Go in and see Wansheng. The Queen Mother is inside."
Mu Xingci's handsome face was tinged with fear as he walked quickly into the room. He immediately saw the woman holding a gun and looking defensive behind the table.
"My wife!" Mu Xingci ignored everyone and went straight to the woman, hugging her behind him to protect her.
"Don't be afraid! It's okay." The man patted the woman's back and comforted her softly.
Yun Wansheng felt the man's wholehearted tenderness and gentle words. He did not blame her for her insubordination, nor did he blame her for causing him such trouble. This touched her heart deeply, and her eyes became slightly moist.
"Husband, she wants to kill our child." Her tone was unconsciously tinged with a hint of grievance.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent: "Don't worry! With my husband here, our child will be fine. Leave everything to me!"
"Yeah!" Yun Wansheng nodded in his arms.
Xie Fengying stared at the two people hugging each other in front of her with a pair of disbelief eyes. She never expected that when Mu Xingci returned home, he would not kneel down and beg for mercy in front of her, but would go to comfort his wife who had killed the royal guards.
"Mu Xingci! Do you still take me seriously?" Xie Fengying said angrily.
Mu Xingci also turned to look at her at this time, his eyes extremely cold: "Empress Dowager, I don't know what my wife has done that makes you want to kill my flesh and blood?"
"Mu Xingci, this good wife you married actually dared to defy the power of the Xiahou Emperor. If it weren't for your sake, I would have beheaded her long ago."
"Disdain the imperial power? I don't know how my wife disdains it?" Mu Xingci said in a slightly cold tone.
Xie Fengying looked at the chill emanating from the man in front of her. For some reason, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
