Mo Yan glanced to the side, grabbed a handkerchief, and stuffed it into his mouth, finally bringing him some peace and quiet.
I want to kick this brain-dead son away. What's the point of having him?
But that won't work, at least not now.
"Shut up. The Emperor will find out the truth and send it back."
From now on, remember your identity. You are just a prince, and you probably won't even have that title anymore.
You need to understand that your father has more than one son.
Han Hao's "white moonlight" also gave birth to a son.
Furthermore, her son is both literate and martial, and quite famous in the border regions; her good brother should be making a move soon.
If the mother and daughter were sent back, it would mean that the woman was outwardly the emperor's person, but secretly she was someone else entirely.
Or perhaps, the emperor simply wanted the original owner dead?
After all, the original owner of this body is dead, so he has a reason to hold Han Hao accountable and force him to hand over his military power.
When Mo Yan came out, she said to the emperor, "My sister is about to die. Let Han Hao come back."
Mo Yan believed that the emperor knew what to do.
A king of a different gender returned, and the princess died at that time. They were husband and wife. This king also had a pampered concubine. With the princess dead, they became the prime suspects.
Now that the borders are secure and there are no more enemy attacks, the emperor naturally wants to resolve this internal trouble.
After all, no emperor would want to see a prince of a different surname holding the power of 500,000 troops.
Similarly, no king of the opposite sex would easily hand it over.
The original owner was a victim of their power struggle.
All Mo Yan needs to do is stir up trouble, protect Gao Yue and Xin'er, and nothing else matters to her.
Just then, the imperial physician said that the original owner could only live for a year, and she was very satisfied with this answer.
A lot can be accomplished in a year.
"Impossible," Han Wen answered in his mind. He didn't believe his mother's words.
You know, his uncle the emperor doted on him, so how could he possibly depose him from his position as heir apparent?
Seeing the ungrateful son's wide eyes, clearly not believing it, Mo Yan really felt that her son's brain was full of shit.
You, as the heir apparent, have made your thoughts so obvious, you're practically saying them out loud. Do you think that's a good thing?
I don't know if the original owner deliberately turned him into an idiot so that he could save his life, or if he was just too stupid to be managed.
Upon arriving at the princess's residence, Mo Yan kicked Han Wen down.
The servants nearby were about to help Han Wen up when Mo Yan's icy voice rang out, "Don't help him up."
Mo Yan walked out and looked at Han Wen below. "From today onwards, you'd better shut up. Although I don't need you to achieve great things, this princess doesn't need a useless son either. Go back to your courtyard and reflect on your actions. Memorize the laws of our dynasty. I will examine you tomorrow."
After saying that, Mo Yan entered the princess's residence. As soon as she got back, her nanny came over and said, "Princess, Miss Xin'er has returned and is waiting for you in the courtyard."
Han Xin'er is only seven years old this year, but she has been taught very well by Gao Yue. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a well-bred young lady. Gao Yue hopes that her daughter can have a good life.
However, Mo Yan has been in a daze for the past two years, and Han Wen sent her to the manor under some pretext. Now the little girl is so thin that she looks like she's been bullied.
"Xin'er is so thin! Has she been bullied?"
Xin'er stepped forward and spoke directly, but Gao Yue shook her head at her daughter, telling her not to say these things directly.
Xin'er didn't want to listen to her mother anymore. She stepped forward and knelt down. "Xin'er begs Grandmother to do justice. The servants on the estate don't treat me like a master at all. They have tried to frame me and harm me several times. Please, Grandmother, do justice."
Xin'er had considered coming back, but the people in that villa were keeping a close watch on her, preventing her from getting out.
Now that she's finally out, of course she has to tell her grandmother. She believes her grandmother will definitely stand up for her.
If she pretends nothing happened because she's afraid her father will be angry, wouldn't people think she's weak and easily bullied?
"Someone, bring those people here. Xin'er, you can confront them yourself, and then deal with them, how about that?"
Xin'er squatted down slightly, "Thank you, Grandmother."
Xin'er looked up, her eyes a little sore. Had her grandmother, who used to teach her to read and write, returned?
She lived with her grandmother when she was little; her grandmother even had a room in the yard. Later…
Later, my grandmother fell ill and became delirious. My father told her to go back to her own courtyard and not disturb her while she was recuperating.
Later, over a trivial matter, her father sent her to another courtyard, leaving her alone in that place.
Soon those people were brought over, and Mo Yan let Xin'er interrogate them herself.
Xin'er confronted them on the spot. When they denied it, she resorted to violence. In the end, they had no choice but to admit that they had been bribed to treat the young lady badly.
The person bribed was actually Han Wen's eldest daughter.
Mo Yan did not hesitate and had someone bring Han Wen's eldest daughter over.
She remained quite calm and not afraid at all. After coming over, she bowed to Mo Yan.
"Xiangyue greets the Princess. May I ask what brings the Princess here to instruct me?"
"Slap him in the face."
Mo Yan didn't even look up. She picked up the teacup beside her and spoke calmly.
I took a sip of tea and listened to the slapping sounds, and it felt pretty good.
Xiangyue was being held captive by several people, but she still tried to struggle.
She always thought she was superior to others. Everyone knew that the senior maids around the prince were people who served him at all times, and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't become the prince's women one day.
She believed she understood Korean very well and would inevitably become the Crown Prince's concubine in the future, so she naturally didn't care much about Xin'er, the unfavored eldest daughter.
He didn't show much respect to Mo Yan either.
He was slapped in the face, and only then did he realize that this was the residence of the Eldest Princess, and that the Eldest Princess was in charge.
"Princess, please spare this servant."
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile, "Oh, tell me, what did you do wrong?"
To be honest, Xiangyue didn't know what she had done wrong, but admitting her mistake was the right thing to do at a time like this.
"This servant knows her mistake. This servant did not pay her respects to the young lady and the princess consort."
Mo Yan then smiled, "If you know you were wrong, then let's do it."
Xiangyue then began slapping herself, and after a dozen or so slaps, Moyan finally spoke.
"Look, do you recognize the person kneeling on the ground?"
Xiangyue was flustered after just one glance, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Your Highness, this servant does not recognize you."
Xin'er chuckled, and the others quickly looked over.
"I'm so sorry, my granddaughter couldn't help herself. Please don't laugh at her, Grandmother."
Mo Yan gave Xin'er a disapproving look. "What, in your heart, is your grandmother so unreasonable that she would punish you just because you smiled?"
Gao Yue was terrified. She was afraid that her daughter would say something wrong and be sent to another estate.
She could no longer bear the pain of separation.
This time, even if it really means her daughter has to leave, she'll fight to the death for a divorce and leave with her daughter.
She wanted to stay by her daughter's side and wouldn't let her suffer any more grievances.
