The emperor took it and examined it. He crushed it and found it was indeed mud. He glanced at the King of Qin and thought, "What a fool! Is he afraid of this? What's there to be afraid of?"
The emperor looked coldly at the King of Qin.
"Open your eyes and look for yourself, is this poison?"
The King of Qin was dumbfounded. Something was wrong; that's not what Mo Yan said earlier.
He angrily pointed at Mo Yan over there.
"Father, she's lying! She's lying! Kill him!"
The emperor stared coldly at this scoundrel, growing angrier the more he looked. Did this fool even know what he was saying?
"Enough! Mo Yan is your principal wife. Do you think you can kill her with just a few words?"
Mo Yan is a princess. If you want to depose Mo Yan, you must find a reasonable reason. Do you really think that the emperor's son can act with impunity? Do you think the civil and military officials are dead?
The King of Qin acted as if he hadn't heard him and continued to roar.
“Father, she talked back to me and even tied me up. This is a grave offense of disrespect.”
The emperor looked at the hysterical, shrewish King Qin, and then glanced at Mo Yan, who had been standing by his side as if she obeyed his every command.
He was furious. Mo Yan's unwavering composure had already outmaneuvered the Prince of Qin. The Emperor could only look at Mo Yan and speak. "Mo Yan, speak."
After hearing this, Mo Yan looked at the King of Qin and asked, "Why doesn't Your Highness explain why I tied you up?"
"Wasn't it you who was going to kill your wife and children for this courtesan?"
Another courtesan!
Another courtesan!
Siyu couldn't listen anymore. She refused to kneel any longer and stood up abruptly, looking at Moyan. "Your Highness, isn't it going too far to keep calling them 'brothel women'? What's wrong with brothel women? They are human beings too, they have their own dignity, and they earn their living through their own skills. How can you say such things!"
"presumptuous!"
The emperor's face darkened, and Siyu was forced to the ground.
"Give him twenty lashes."
Before Siyu could say anything more after the emperor spoke, she was already being flogged.
"Ah, ah."
"Help! Help!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
She looked at the King of Qin expectantly, but to her surprise, the King of Qin did not dare to look at her at all; he looked as if he was terrified.
At this moment, her heart turned cold. She never expected that the King of Qin would be such a coward.
Mo Yan watched from the side, looking at her with great sympathy. "You probably don't know one thing: the courtesans in this dynasty are all criminals, or daughters of officials who have committed serious crimes."
Why should we sympathize with people like that?
Those who are allowed in are all criminals; why should we sympathize with them?
Do we sympathize with their plight? Or with their fathers' treason? Or with their relatives' betrayal of the country?
Only someone like her would willingly become a courtesan!
"Also, the place where outstanding women in our country go is called a guild hall. There, regardless of gender, people associate based on their literary talents, understand?"
At this moment, the emperor's men arrived and handed him a collection of poems. The first poem in the collection was about the scenery of the northern lands, inside and outside the Great Wall...
The order is all wrong, so I probably can't memorize it well, but the northern scenery and the Qin and Han emperors in it don't exist in their era!
Therefore, the emperor judged her to be a traitor and a spy.
The emperor slammed the book of poems down on her head.
It made a loud "thud" sound, and it hurt terribly.
She covered her head.
"Tell me, are you a spy from the North?"
Mo Yan was speechless. She had seen stupid people before, but never anyone this stupid. Didn't you check the historical context after you time-traveled? You've become a courtesan, didn't you even ask about the map of Yun Kingdom?
Why don't you ask about the local customs and traditions? Why are you so eager to spill all the little you know? And is the order wrong?
"I...I didn't, I didn't...I just wanted to praise His Majesty..."
The emperor sneered, "Which emperor are you from? From the North?"
Siyu: "..."
Siyu was terrified, tears welling up in her eyes. How could she know that the history of this world was different from hers? Wasn't this poem supposed to be very powerful, and loved by all emperors?
"King Qin, you like this woman so much, do you want to collude with the Northern Kingdom with her, or do you feel that being a prince is beneath you, so you want to become the emperor?"
The King of Qin was trembling with fear... He dared not.
"Father, I dare not."
"You don't dare?"
The emperor's voice was soft, but every word struck the King of Qin's heart as if it were a matter of life and death.
"Your subject wouldn't dare!" he continued to beg for mercy.
He really doesn't dare!
He knew very well that if he uttered a single wrong word, he would die!
This is his father, who is also the emperor.
When the emperor is angry, millions will die. This is not just a saying.
He really didn't dare.
Siyu: "???"
"Then how come I heard that you intend to use the entire empire as your dowry to marry her?"
The King of Qin was now even more terrified. Who was it? Who wanted to harm him?
"Your subject dares not. Your subject simply likes Siyu. Besides, Siyu is not a courtesan; she is the daughter of the Duke of Wei."
Your son has fallen in love with a woman, and their love is mutual..."
The King of Qin dared not continue speaking. For some reason, he felt that if he continued, he would surely die, and die a terrible death.
Siyu was on the verge of death from the beating, but upon hearing the King of Qin's words, she thought she was alright.
"Such a woman, and you two are in love, you are slapping me in the face."
