Chapter 227 Only Peony is the True Beauty of the Country
The changes in attitude are so fast.
The girl was a beautiful and kindhearted young lady one moment, and turned into a female Asura who wanted to take people's lives the next moment.
Jiujiu decided that she would never judge people by their appearance again.
Mudan's action really scared everyone around her.
A group of people, led by Princess Anxin, looked at Mudan in panic and tried to persuade her.
Princess Anxin: "Girl, you can do whatever you want, but you must not hurt the little princess. She is still a child!" She is the most beloved child of her brother and the only little princess in the royal family.
It doesn’t matter if anything happens to anyone, but she can’t.
Princess Anxin's heart was with the royal family. In order to protect Jiujiu, she said, "Girl, I will be your hostage. You can kill me or shave me as you like. Will you let the little girl go?"
The Dali Temple Chief Justice was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat: "Girl, please talk nicely and don't do anything stupid. You still have a long future ahead of you." He also has a long future and cannot end it today!
Not to mention Nanny Gui and Jin Kui.
The two men knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and begged Mudan to release the person.
The two were so worried that they were confused. Their heads were smashed and their foreheads were covered in blood. Tears flowed heavily, and the tears and blood mixed together, which was horrifying to look at.
Jiujiu: “…”
Everyone is so nice to her.
In her previous life, she was in an orphanage, and no one had ever cared about her, been anxious about her, or worried about her.
The director's mother's love was also divided into many parts and given to many people.
She got only a tiny bit.
She rarely felt the feeling of being cared for by so many people.
Jiujiu is touched.
Mudan looked at the people who were worried about Jiujiu, full of envy, "Little princess, right? You have a good background, a good status, and a good family. I really envy everything you have."
"Because I have nothing."
As Mudan spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You have nothing, so you want to destroy everything of others?" Princess Anxin sneered.
Mudan said: "Don't worry, I won't ruin anyone's everything. I'm not that vicious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to the palace to testify against the prince consort today."
"Then what exactly do you want to do?" asked the Dali Temple Minister with trembling hands.
Mudan said, "I just want to see the emperor."
"Take me to see the emperor?" Mudan yelled at the people around her, "As long as I see the emperor, I will release the little princess."
Worried that Jiujiu might be afraid of her crazy appearance, Mudan whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Jiujiu: “…”
Well, I didn’t show any fear!
It’s true, truer than real gold, no doubt about it.
Princess Anxin compromised and said, "Okay, we'll take you to see the emperor, but you have to be careful and don't hurt the girl in your hands."
Princess Anxin was very vigilant. She stared at Jiujiu's figure to make sure that nothing would happen to her, and then she took Mudan to see Emperor Zhaoning.
After all, Peony was brought in by the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
Now that Mudan suddenly kidnapped the little princess, the Dali Temple Minister cannot escape responsibility.
The Dali Temple Minister was so frightened that he could not walk steadily. He stepped on his robe several times and fell down several times, looking very embarrassed.
He kept repeating it in his mind.
Ancestors!
I burned so much paper money for you before, and now I’m in trouble, it’s time for you to show up.
You must protect me today and nothing will happen to me!
Old Ancestor: Bah! Bah! Didn't you hear me? You better f**k yourself! You idiot who is shooting himself in the foot!
Princess Anxin brought her people to the imperial study and asked the eunuch at the door to inform and request an audience with Emperor Zhaoning.
Emperor Zhaoning was drinking soup. After hearing the eunuch's report, he spilled the soup, leaving many soup stains on his dragon robe.
Fuan wanted to help wipe it, but seeing Emperor Zhaoning's scary face, he didn't dare to speak.
Emperor Zhaoning was extremely panicked.
He rarely felt so panicked. Even when he heard Jiujiu's voice saying that Western Chu would be in danger of destruction in ten years, he had never been so panicked.
Having been an emperor for many years, he has become calm and steady.
But this moment is different.
Jiujiu is in danger.
He was very afraid that something might happen to Jiujiu, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, especially his hands were extremely cold.
He breathed a sigh of relief, held Fu'an's hand, and walked out to meet Jiujiu.
After going outside, he saw little Jiujiu being taken hostage and held in Mudan's hands, like a poor little thing. Emperor Zhaoning's eyes were bloodshot and the murderous intent in his heart was raging like a raging wind.
He wished he could kill Mudan's entire family right away to vent his anger.
But, he still cared about Jiujiu's life, so he suppressed his anger.
His fists creaked as he clenched them.
The pressure from the superiors was completely released at this moment, looming over everyone's head, making it hard to breathe.
"Release my beloved daughter." Emperor Zhaoning said.
"Your Majesty, would you please listen to a few words from me? I will release the little princess after I finish speaking." Mudan was a little afraid of Emperor Zhaoning, but for the sake of her family, she had to be brave.
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"Let her go!"
Emperor Zhaoning roared like an angry lion.
It really scared everyone around.
It seems that the emperor is really angry.
This woman had better be sensible and release the princess. Otherwise, let alone letting the emperor listen to her, she would probably have a hard time leaving the palace alive with all her limbs intact.
"Since you have already seen my father, please let me go!" Jiujiu advised Mudan: "After you let me go, you can talk slowly if you have anything to say."
"Don't go against my father, otherwise, he won't let you off easily."
After hearing this, Mudan thought for a moment, let Jiujiu go, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed and confessed: "Your Majesty, I threatened the princess' life just to see you and tell you my grievances. I was wrong..."
"I plead guilty."
"But please listen to what I have to say."
"As long as you are willing to listen to what I have to say, I am willing to die."
Jiujiu, who was freed, ran towards Emperor Zhaoning.
Emperor Zhaoning squatted down and hugged Jiujiu who had just been held hostage. He hugged Jiujiu very tightly, and he was full of fear.
Jiujiu was a little out of breath.
【Daddy’s love is too heavy.】
【Jiujiu is about to suffocate.】
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaoning quickly let go of Jiujiu with a distressed look and turned to look at Mudan.
He heard what Mudan just said, but so what?
If anyone dared to hold his precious daughter hostage, she should have been dead long ago.
Emperor Zhaoning handed Jiujiu to Fuan and asked Fuan to cover Jiujiu's eyes. Then, he drew the knife from the waist of the imperial guard beside him and walked towards Mudan step by step like a killing god.
Only the peony is the true beauty of the country.
The peony lives up to its name.
She is extremely beautiful, and at this moment she gives people a feeling of pity. Any man would be moved when seeing her.
However, Emperor Zhaoning could not see all that at the moment. In his eyes there was only anger and a father's protection of his kidnapped daughter.
He stabbed Mudan with a knife, full of murderous intent.
