"This time, he actually disregarded court affairs and openly went to Dacheng, claiming to congratulate the new emperor of Dacheng on his ascension to the throne. Do you believe that?"
"Given his temperament, who knows what trouble he caused in Daqi that would enrage the new emperor of Dacheng."
As Empress Dowager Xiao spoke, a smug smile appeared on her lips.
"Our monarch probably still thinks that Dacheng is part of our Great Qi, and that everyone is afraid of this madman."
"I just hope he doesn't go too far this time and embarrass our Great Qi."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yiding nodded in agreement.
"Yes, but Your Majesty, my trip to Dacheng was not without its gains."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao raised an eyebrow.
What did you gain?
"Your Majesty, I have discovered your weakness!"
"Weakness?"
"What weakness could a madman like him have?"
Jia Yiding: "I initially thought that with Mo Junxing's cold, hard, and crazy personality, there wouldn't be anyone he cared about."
"Unexpectedly, he gave up the best time to escape because of a woman."
"He even personally arranged a romantic scene for that woman and confessed his love to her."
"Moreover, after I captured the woman, I also worked with others to rescue her."
"If this were before, would he have cared about the life or death of a woman?"
"Would he not proactively do anything for a woman?"
Empress Dowager Xiao agreed, and nodded in agreement.
Who is this woman?
"It is that businesswoman from the Great Qi Dynasty, Luo Yun Chu!"
Empress Dowager Xiao sat up in surprise upon hearing this.
"It was her?"
"Isn't she dead?"
“She didn’t die, but went to Dacheng. Originally, Mo Junxing brought her back with him this time.”
"But during the fight, there was another group of people who took the woman away."
Empress Dowager Xiao's expression turned even more alarmed upon hearing this.
"Another group?"
An incredible idea was also brewing in my mind.
Could it be that Mo Junxing's sudden trip to Dacheng was because of that woman?
Empress Dowager Xiao, upon considering this, grew increasingly hesitant and directly gave the order:
"Investigate!"
"I need to know everything about this woman's past with Mo Junxing, as well as her identity."
"yes!"
Jia Yiding agreed, then stood up and prepared to leave.
But after taking just one step, someone suddenly grabbed him by the neck.
"Mother, you really have a good interest, not even sparing a woman?"
"She's just a woman. What do you want to know? Why don't you just ask me directly? Wouldn't that be much easier?"
Mo Junxing led his entourage straight into Empress Dowager Xiao's palace.
He grabbed Jia Yiding by the neck with one hand and stormed in aggressively.
Even though Jia Yiding is struggling violently and still pulling on his hand, his strength hasn't lessened at all.
His other hand held a longsword, which was stained with blood.
Empress Dowager Xiao was so frightened by his appearance that she took a step back.
"Mo Junxing, what... what exactly do you want to do?"
"This is my bedchamber! How dare you kill someone here?"
Mo Junxing chuckled softly.
"The bedroom?"
"So what?"
"And who says that one can't kill in the bedroom?"
"Besides, I almost died at the hands of Your Majesty, Mother. Now that I've returned alive, I'm furious. So I came here specifically to kill a few of your men. What's wrong with that?"
"Um?"
Mo Junxing had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold. He looked at Empress Dowager Xiao as if she were a dead person.
Empress Dowager Xiao was completely terrified.
He took several steps back before speaking, his voice trembling.
"Mo Junxing, let him go!"
"You... you actually... murdered a high-ranking official! Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, the people will curse you?"
"abuse?"
Mo Junxing chuckled softly.
"What a joke! I am about to personally kill a treacherous minister who rebelled against me and plotted to assassinate me. What's wrong with that? And why would anyone curse me for it?"
Empress Dowager Xiao immediately retorted upon hearing this.
"Nonsense!"
"he……"
Just as Empress Dowager Xiao was about to speak, Mo Junxing chuckled, interrupting her, and continued speaking.
"Nonsense?"
"Then may I ask, Mother, if he did not intend to assassinate me and plot a rebellion, then who is the one who truly wants to assassinate me?"
Is that you?
As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward, his icy eyes filled with threat, causing Empress Dowager Xiao to instinctively take a step back, her gaze immediately turning to Jia Yiding.
At this moment, Jia Yiding's face was already flushed.
Mo Junxing's hand was like a pair of pliers, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe.
His gaze fell upon Empress Dowager Xiao.
His eyes were full of pleading, and he spoke with difficulty, his mouth slightly open.
"Empress Dowager... save... me..."
However, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly turned her head, took a deep breath, and slowly closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, her expression had become resolute.
“Your Majesty, you are right. This man intended to murder the monarch and plot a rebellion. His crime is unforgivable, and he certainly deserves to be punished.”
Mo Junxing raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on Jia Yiding.
Did you hear that?
Do you agree with what Empress Dowager Xiao just said?
