the palace maid beside her, "Go down first."Two maidservants bowed respectfully and quickly responded with a "Yes, ma'am" before turning to leave. The careful way they moved suggested that they had...It has to be admitted that An Xue Tang's words, although they successfully angered the Emperor, also left him helpless!

After all, he truly desired Nian Yun City, and he also needed to appease the people. Most importantly, he didn't want to completely sever ties with Mo Yun Jing just yet. He still hadn't verified the suspicions brewing in his heart.

If his suspicions were correct, then...of all his sons, the only one he could rely on was Mo Yun Jing.

No matter what, Mo Yunjing is his son. If his guesses are true, and that person is truly alive, then Mo Yunjing would probably be the only one capable of going against him.

Thinking this way, the emperor endured the anger in his heart. After a moment of silence, he stared at An Xuetang with eyes blazing like fire, "So what do you really want"

"The Fourth Prince disrespects his elder brother, and as his daughter-in-law, I only hope that Father will give me justice."

Mo Yunze pursed his lips, he still wanted to struggle, but the emperor gave him a cold glance, "Be quiet!"

Mo Yunze : "..."

He is truly innocent. He didn't do anything to An Xue Tang today.

Right now, even though An Xue Tang clearly splashed him with dirty water, he still couldn't defend himself. The main reason is that even if he tried to explain himself at this moment, no one would be willing to listen!

The emperor's sullen eyes fixed on An Xuetang, "Say, what do you want to do"

"Just now, Father wanted to have me beaten thirty times. Well then, regarding Fourth Prince’s matter, as long as the Emperor punishes him with a hundred lashes according to the rules, I will not hold a grudge against his disrespectful actions today."

"An Xuetang!"

Mo Yunze had never been treated so unfairly. He gritted his teeth and spoke.

At that moment, Mo Yunjing blocked his line of sight, preventing him from seeing An Xuetang. An Xuetang completely ignored him as well.

Today her main objective wasn't to deal with Mo Yunze.

Although the emperor was reluctant to punish Mo Yunze, seeing An Xuetang's insistent gaze, he looked at Mo Yunze and ultimately ordered someone to drag him away.

Before leaving, Mo Yunze glared fiercely at Mo Yunjing, and in a low voice said, "You guys wait for me!"

Mo Yunjing curled his lips, his expression calm. He didn't even look at Mo Yunze in the eye, which made Mo Yunze even angrier.

Even if he were formidable, at this very moment, he was still incapable of defeating Mo Yunjing and An Xue Tang.

After dealing with Mo Yunze, An Xuetang thoughtfully glanced at the man sitting in the wheelchair. In fact, An Xuetang had noticed him long ago. She had been paying close attention to his eyes that seemed to want to kill Mo Yunjing.

Needless to say, An Xuetang understood that this man was Mo Yunren, the nominal second brother of Mo Yunjing!

That is the person whose hands and legs were broken by Mo Yunjing, and the one behind the Sword Sect is him. He was the one who sent people to attack Mo Yunjing time after time.

Thinking of this, An Xuetang's ambiguous eyes swept over him. In that instant when their eyes met, a hint of mocking smile appeared in the depths of An Xuetang's eyes.

Although Mo Yunren remained silent, the blue veins throbbing on his face betrayed the raging fury burning within him. It was Mo Yunjing who had brought him to this state; if not for the skilled healers in Lijiang Sect, he would have bled out long ago.

In short, he and Mo Yunjing have an irreconcilable feud!

At this moment, the emperor was unaware of Mo Yunren's hatred. He stared at An Xuetang gloomily, "Are you satisfied now"

An Xuetang looked at him, nodding slightly, "I am somewhat satisfied. Thank you, Father King, for making decisions on behalf of your daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law is deeply grateful. Father King truly is a wise and righteous ruler."

Without waiting for the emperor or others to speak, she glanced at Mo Yunjing, raised an eyebrow, and took two steps forward, continuing:

"Since Your Majesty is so righteous, then as your daughter-in-law, I believe you wouldn't allow your son to be wrongly accused, would you"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure whether to respond to An Xuetang's words. He always felt that An Xuetang was setting a trap for him.

"Father, what's wrong Are you feeling unwell"

Would he just stay silent and expect An Xuetang to let him off the hook

The eunuch, hearing An Xue Tang's words and seeing the Emperor's gloomy face, knew he had to step in and smooth things over for his majesty.

So, clearing his throat, a voice shrill and grating cut through the air. "Bold Northern Frontier Princess, your Majesty is in good health! How dare you curse him!"

As soon as the eunuch's words fell, Mo Yunjing suddenly struck. A silver needle in his hand instantly pierced the eunuch's heart.

The eunuch's eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze filled with astonishment. He clearly hadn't expected Mo Yun Jing to directly attack him in front of all the civil and military officials and the emperor.

The eunuch's body stiffened and he fell straight down. This scene terrified everyone present, and the emperor's face turned pale. He dared not imagine that if Mo Yunjing had targeted him just now, then he would have been...

The Imperial Guard has surged in, protecting the Emperor behind them, their swords pointed at Mo Yun Jing.

Even the civil and military officials below were so frightened that they knelt down, too afraid to make a sound.

After the Emperor regained his composure, he trembled and pointed at Mo Yunjing, "You... You rebellious son! How dare you attack me in the main hall, right before my eyes As a prince, you massacred innocent people, you..."

Mo Yunjing remained composed. His icy eyes swept over the eunuch lying on the ground before settling on the emperor with a chilling gaze. He spoke in a remarkably calm voice, "My son did not murder unjustly. This man uttered blasphemous words against the Princess of Beijang. He truly… deserved his fate!"

"You...you..."

The emperor trembled with rage, momentarily speechless.

At this moment, Mo Yunren, who had also come to his senses, suddenly spoke up, "Fifth brother, you are not allowed to carry weapons into the palace. How did you manage to bring the silver needles that killed the eunuch in What is your purpose for entering the palace today Why would you carry silver needles with you Could it be that your objective today is Father"

The emperor's face changed drastically, clearly having taken in Mo Yunren's divisive words. As the emperor had usurped the throne by killing his brother and father, he was extremely sensitive to such matters.

Now hearing these words from Mo Yunren, his eyes became even darker, staring at Mo Yunjing with a bloodthirsty gaze, and said coldly, "Mo Yunjing, what do you want to do today"

Mò Yún Jǐng's aloof and distant gaze swept over him for a moment. "Father, what do you think your son wants to do"

At this, An Xue Tang let out a little giggle. “Father, you don’t need to worry so much. Although Ah Jing is your flesh and blood, he won’t follow in your footsteps. So please, calm down.”

An Xuetang's words struck a nerve, hitting the emperor where it hurt—his past misdeeds.

She didn't give the emperor a chance to retort. After finishing her statement, she turned directly to Mo Yunren, "I presume this is Second Imperial Brother, right What Princess Jing just threw out was merely a silver needle from this concubine's hand used for healing. It wasn't a weapon at all."

An Xuetang's eyes instantly changed, her tone turning icy cold, "Second Imperial Brother, could it be that you still want to use the methods from a few months ago, and want to put the blame on my Ah Jing"structed Kang Er and Ning Er to carry Liu Lan away.Liu Lan had actually been woken up once by the emperor's yelling, but when she saw Da Zi's 'fearsome and menacing' appearance again, she fainted once...
