Mo Yunzhao frowned, but before she could speak, the guard continued, "The eldest prince brought the young lady back bound and gagged, and he was furious, as if he wanted to kill her. Please save the young lady quickly."
Mo Yunzhao slightly raised his eyes and heard a shout.
"The Crown Prince has arrived."
Then they heard footsteps and the sound of pushing and shoving as someone came in.
Mo Yunzhao looked up, his unfocused eyes landing precisely on Ling Yongqing.
She couldn't see, but she remembered Mo Bici's description of him.
He wore a blue brocade robe, had a handsome face, and held a folding fan in his hand. He was incredibly elegant and refined.
But Mo Yunzhao remembered that after her eyes recovered, the Ling Yongqing she saw had a sallow complexion, sunken eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and walked unsteadily, looking like someone who had overindulged in excessive sexual activity.
He had absolutely no air of elegance or dashing charm.
At this moment, Ling Yongqing was fanning himself with a folding fan, fanning himself in the slightly chilly spring breeze. The fan made him feel a little cold, so he quickly snapped the fan shut.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Mo Jinghao led everyone in bowing to Ling Yongqing.
Ling Yongqing held a folding fan and clapped his palms casually. Even though it hurt a little, he still managed to project the aura of a prince.
He looked up at Mo Yunzhao, who was still sitting there languidly and elegantly. Even though he was blind, he was still incredibly beautiful.
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched.
I can't marry her, but... I can sleep with her.
The eunuch beside him angrily shouted, "How dare you, Mo Yunzhao! You have seen the Crown Prince, why don't you rise and pay your respects at once!"
Mo Yunzhao did not rise, but merely raised his eyes and said in a crisp voice, "Twenty years ago, the city lord of Moyang City was granted a special pardon and was allowed to sit on equal footing with the emperor of Xuan Tang..."
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly: "Even I, the city lord, do not need to perform the rites of a subject before the emperor, yet the eldest prince demands that I bow to him. Does he perhaps think he is superior to the emperor, or...?"
Ling Yongqing's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately slapped the eunuch across the face. "How dare you! Who gave you the right to speak so presumptuously? Punish yourself with thirty slaps."
If someone is greater than the emperor, doesn't that mean he wants to rebel?
Once this charge is leveled against him, he'll be either dead or utterly ruined.
The eunuch immediately knelt down and slapped his own face hard. "This servant deserves to die. This servant only wanted to protect the Crown Prince. It was a slip of the tongue. Please spare my life, Your Highness."
Mo Yunzhao lowered his eyes, toying with his index finger, and casually said, "It seems that next time I see the Emperor, I'll have to ask him what to do about this person suspected of rebellion..."
Before he could finish speaking, a scream was heard, and foul-smelling blood filled the air, dissipating with the spring breeze.
Ling Yongqing looked at the blood-stained folding fan, threw it into the pool of blood, looked up at Mo Yunzhao with an indifferent expression, and gritted his teeth inwardly.
This eunuch was his trusted confidant, but now, because of a single word from Mo Yunzhao, he had no choice but to kill him with his own hands.
It seems that while she lost her spiritual power, she gained some brainpower.
Mo Yunzhao didn't ask him to sit down, but instead looked up and asked, "I just heard that the First Prince kidnapped my elder sister?"
Getting back to the main point, Ling Yongqing glanced down at the woman who was tied up and kneeling on the ground.
"Mo Yunlan, my fiancée, was caught in the act of adultery. I originally intended to bring her to the palace to ask my father for justice, but considering Lord Mo's sincere devotion to me, I have brought her here for you to deal with. You must give me an explanation."
Upon hearing this, many people present couldn't help but laugh.
Because Ling Yongqing emphasized the words "City Lord Mo" very much, how long could the blind and useless Mo Yunzhao remain the city lord?
