Everyone: "..." They felt it was unlikely.
You must know that the Duke of Zhenguo wielded immense power in the court; if he coughed, the entire court would tremble.
Now that the Duke of Zhenguo has stormed into the palace looking fierce, someone is definitely going to be in trouble.
They recalled the incident involving the Imperial Concubine and wondered if the Duke of Zhenguo was planning to do something to the Princess.
They were all very excited and wanted to know what would happen next: would the Duke of Zhenguo win, or would the Princess prevail?
"Your Majesty, I must take my leave now."
As the Empress watched Mo Yan leave, she wanted to speak, "Mo Yan, you... be careful."
Mo Yan: "..." Never mind, what is she expecting?
Seeing Mo Yan's disappointed expression, the Empress gritted her teeth and said, "How about I apologize on your behalf?"
"On my behalf? Apologize? Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong, why should I apologize? Nor do I need Your Majesty to apologize on my behalf..."
This empress is hopeless, and she's making me a little uncomfortable!
The Empress felt even more aggrieved. Her body was already in such a state, yet Mo Yan still blamed her.
It must be said that the Queen's ability to sense other people's emotions is absolutely first-rate, and sometimes she can even overthink things.
As soon as Mo Yan arrived at the Imperial Garden, she came face to face with the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo was now all white-haired, an old man who was halfway to the ground. Instead of thinking about how to spend his final days, he clung to his power.
"Mo Yan, what do you mean? You hit the Imperial Concubine as soon as you got back?"
Mo Yan laughed upon hearing this, "Uncle, isn't it inappropriate for you to bring a sword into the palace?"
"What?" The Duke of Zhenguo was a little confused. What was wrong with that?
"It hasn't been long since I hit the Imperial Concubine, and you already know? You're coming to confess a little too quickly."
"Confess?" The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes widened. Why should he confess? He was innocent!
"Here is evidence that the Imperial Concubine is embezzling public funds and has entangled herself with many people in the harem. What is she trying to do? Seize power, or what?"
"Uncle, you have quite a bit of evidence against you. Let me see it: you forcibly abducted innocent women."
Mo Yan's eyes widened, her gaze filled with disbelief. "Uncle, you're about to die, and suddenly you're snatching innocent women?"
Duke Zhenguo: "!!!!"
The Duke of Zhenguo trembled with rage, "You're the one who's going to die! Your whole family is going to die!"
"I'm perfectly healthy. Stop talking nonsense. Mo Yan, don't go too far. Do you believe I'll teach you a lesson right now?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that he had lost his mind and all he wanted to do was beat up Mo Yan in front of him.
"Hit me? Uncle, why don't you try it?"
If he dares to hit her, she'll cripple him immediately.
The Duke of Zhenguo just slapped him...
The Imperial Concubine also came over. Seeing her father hitting someone, she really wanted to shout, "Father, charge! Beat Mo Yan to death!"
The next moment, Mo Yan executed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the Duke to the ground.
“Uncle, you should admit your mistakes. How dare you hit the Princess Zhenguo? Have you forgotten that my father said that no one can lay a finger on me? If anyone does, I will pay back tenfold.”
When had the Duke of Zhenguo ever been treated like this? He was furious and struggled to his feet, pointing his sword directly at Mo Yan.
"Uncle, my brother has been spoiling you all these years. Look at what he's done to you. You actually took a sword right there in the palace. What are you trying to do?"
The Duke of Zhenguo sneered and pointed directly at Mo Yan, "You've come back and you're already bullying the Imperial Concubine. I'm arresting you on behalf of the Emperor."
"Oh, it seems Uncle doesn't want to plead guilty? Why don't you reconsider? I'll give you another chance. After all, you're still my uncle, and I have to show some leniency this time. What do you think?"
Mo Yan maintained a smile, but her gaze towards him was filled with blatant contempt. The next moment, she spoke coldly, "After all, you get old, and you might easily end up in the ground if you're not careful."
Duke Zhenguo: "..."
"You're cursing me!" The Duke of Zhenguo could no longer tolerate it and directly stabbed at Mo Yan.
When the emperor arrived, this was the scene he witnessed, and he desperately wanted to rush over and save his sister.
"Duke Zhenguo, how dare you!"
The Duke of Zhenguo had long since become arrogant and did not take the emperor seriously at all. In his view, let alone a princess, even if it were the emperor, he could kill him and they could do nothing to him.
It was because of this thought that he stabbed without hesitation.
He waited for Mo Yan's scream, but there was none. Instead, Mo Yan turned around and slapped him across the face.
The Duke of Zhenguo was knocked to the ground with a resounding thud.
Then Mo Yan took the rope from Ruo Jiu and tied up the Duke of Zhenguo.
"My royal brother, the Duke of Zhenguo, has brought weapons into the palace. Immediately summon Da Shi and the members of the imperial clan. Today, I, the princess, will punish these treacherous officials!"
The emperor's eyes lit up. He remembered that his sister was the Princess Zhenguo, who could fight against tyrannical emperors and treacherous officials.
Oh, this is the first treacherous official to be punished. He's really looking forward to it.
In fact, the emperor had long since sidelined the Duke of Zhenguo, but the Duke himself was unaware of this and genuinely believed that he could command the winds and rains.
The reason he remained inactive was to find all his accomplices and capture them all in one fell swoop.
I can't believe that before he even made a move, this old geezer actually tried to bully his sister! Absolutely unacceptable!
It's perfectly fine not to beat him up, and it's also perfectly fine to punish treacherous officials.
"good."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo was on the verge of collapse. "What are you going to do? What are you going to do to me?!"
"What are we going to do? Of course, we're going to punish the treacherous officials. Uncle, you've been making no attempt to cover up what you've been doing all these years. You don't think my brother and I will let you get away with this forever, do you?"
Duke Zhenguo: "..."
"You have to pay the price for everything you do. Tell me how your uncle wants to die, and maybe I can grant your request."
Duke Zhenguo: "..."
"If you touch me, the court will be thrown into turmoil, and I won't care." They think they can touch him?
"Oh, well then you just wait and see."
Mo Yan dragged the Duke of Zhenguo directly to the imperial court.
Everyone was stunned.
They were originally attending the Princess's welcoming banquet, but unexpectedly it suddenly turned into a trial of the Duke of Zhenguo.
this……
Some people were trembling with fear, some were watching and observing, some were preparing to save people, and some were thinking, such as the Marquis of Yongle.
When he received that letter, he didn't dare let the Marquis's wife know at all. He thought that what happened back then would never be discovered in his life.
He was initially ordered to hunt down the eldest princess, but ended up being with her. To be honest, he felt a perverse satisfaction when he saw the eldest princess serving him, and he even wanted to tell everyone.
Look at that arrogant and haughty princess, she's mine now!
He later faked his death and left, convinced that the princess would never remember it in her lifetime, and even more convinced that it was a memory he would never mention.
