listening at all! You said you would eat on time every day, but it turns out it was all a lie.""My husband is wronged, truly this time I was so busy that I forgot.""Do you think I'd believe your lies...Looking at Zhi'er's tear-filled eyes, the emperor felt a pang of sympathy and gently pursed his lips, softly coaxing, "My beloved, don't worry first. I've also heard that the Empress has been rather short-tempered lately."

Perhaps it's because I haven't visited the Kunning Palace in days. Well, then, I shall go there myself today and give my beloved consort an explanation.

"I promise, from now on, no one from Kunning Palace will ever bother you again. Don't be angry, alright"

Listening to the emperor's words, Zhi'er sneered in her heart.

As expected, since she didn't use poison to control the emperor, he couldn't be devoted to her unconditionally, nor would he depose his empress for her.

The emperor still didn't want him to be the master of the inner court.

Before, she wasn't a match for that woman. Now, she can't even compare to that ugly girl in Kunning Palace

This man in front of her kept saying he loved her, kept saying he cherished her the most.

but in the end, he gave her nothing.

She was made to be a nobody, not even worthy of the title of concubine.

Now they claim to love her most, yet they are unwilling to give her even the position of Queen.

Hey!

This is what he calls love.

As expected... Men's mouths are never to be trusted.

Chi'er did not respond to the emperor's words. At this moment, she suddenly held the emperor's face in both hands and looked into his eyes.

Moments later, the emperor's eyes gradually turned a sinister red.

Gazing into the emperor's eyes for any change, Zhi'er finally let out a satisfied smile, and her hands slowly released the emperor's face.

In a short while, the emperor's eyes gradually returned to normal.

He also seemed to have a lot more love for Chi'er in his eyes after he recovered his sight. One just didn't know what Chi'er had done to him.

Ziba got exactly the effect she wanted, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.

After returning to normal, the emperor hugged Chi'er even tighter, whispering into her ear as if making a promise, "My beloved consort, don't worry, I promise you, I will definitely get you seated on the throne of the imperial harem as soon as possible."

Zhai'er curled her lips into a smile. "Then this concubine will thank Your Majesty first. Your Majesty mustn't keep this concubine waiting too long, oh."

As they talked and talked, the two began to play in the imperial study.

The eunuchs guarding the door all bowed their heads, not daring to utter a word, not even breathing loudly.

……

Meanwhile, Mo Yunze, who had been dragged out by the Imperial Guards, was already beaten thirty times with a board.

Mo Yunze, even after being beaten, still wanted to see the emperor.

Now is a critical juncture, and he's still trying to find a way to deliver a fatal blow to the Beijang Royal Manor before Mo Yunjing returns to the capital.

If he were to be confined for ten days, by the time his confinement was over, both Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang would have returned to the capital.

By then, there was nothing he could do.

He certainly didn't want to miss this golden opportunity to bring down Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang.

So he was unwilling to be truly confined for ten days.

He was going to find his father emperor to plead for him. His father emperor must have just seen that woman, and for a moment, he forgot about Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's affair.

He was going to remind his father emperor, the top priority was to bring down the Bei Jiang Wangfu.

His father had always harbored a deep hatred for Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang. As long as he intentionally brought up these two, his father would inevitably think of the serious matter.

To bring this about, his father would surely lift his confinement and allow him to begin preparations.

But what he thought was quite beautiful, only when he tried to ask these Imperial guards to carry him to the imperial study, these guards all looked at each other in confusion, none of them dared to obey his order.

Not only that, but one of the guards clasped his hands together and beseeched him with utmost respect, "Your Highness, please do not put us in a difficult position. The Emperor has given an order. If we disobey, the Emperor will surely punish us."

Mo Yunze glared at him, gritting his teeth, "So you'd rather offend this King than take this King to the imperial study"

These several Imperial Guards hurriedly clasped their hands and said in unison, "Please forgive us, Your Highness."

Their attitude is already very clear, they absolutely refuse to bring Mo Yunze back to the Imperial Study.

Although Mo Yunze is the Fourth Prince, they are members of the Imperial Guard and take orders directly from the Emperor.

Even if they feared Mo Yunze's status, they would not choose to offend the emperor for him.

Having spent many years by the emperor's side, they knew his temperament better than anyone else.

To be close to the emperor is like being near a tiger, they live in such fear every day. How could they possibly choose to defy the emperor's decree at a time like this

These few Imperial Guards didn't do anything, almost making Mo Yunze furious.

After receiving thirty lashes, his already weak body was now pushed to its limit by these people, almost vomiting blood.

Mo Yunze clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, his face contorted with veins bulging.

He knew these people would never let him into the imperial study. Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and said through clenched teeth, "You...you...good job following the emperor's orders. This prince will remember you all today. You all just wait."

Regardless of how harshly Mo Yunze speaks now, these Imperial Guards just bow their heads and look repentant.

After all, they really can't change anything.

Mo Yunze gritted his teeth and finished speaking, then roared at the group of people, "Hurry up and send me back to the palace!"

These several Imperial Guards quickly responded, finding a stretcher to carry Mo Yunze to the palace gate.

The guards at Mo Yunze's Wangfu were already waiting at the palace gate. Seeing that their lord was carried out, everyone's expression changed, and they rushed forward one after another.

These guards peppered Mo Yunze with questions.

Mo Yunze only felt that he was beaten into the palace, it was really humiliating. So he closed his eyes and scolded, "Shut your mouths all of you, go back to the house."

Sure enough, after he finished yelling, the scene fell silent. No one dared to speak again easily.

After the people from Prince Si's mansion carried Mo Yunze onto the carriage, he lay on the bed, his mind constantly thinking about that woman in the palace.

The fire of anger in his heart wouldn't die down.

Ever since he learned that a woman had suddenly appeared by his father's side, he had been sending people to investigate, even collaborating with the court ladies to uncover the origins of this woman.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out how this woman had suddenly appeared by his father's side.

And what terrified him most was that every subordinate who dared to enter this woman's chambers never returned.

So he knew very well that this woman was different from the former Liu Gui Fei and Hua Gui Fei.

Then Lady Liu Gui was An Xuetang's biological mother. She was taken back to the palace by the emperor, who was blinded by lust and lacked intelligence, and kept there as a captive.

And the identity of that Flower Noble Consort, he had already figured out a while ago. She was actually a woman from Blue Country, and she entered the palace for the sake of Mo Yunchen.

But when he learned of all this, the flower concubine had already died, and it made no difference to him.

This time, the sudden appearance of Zhi Guifei caught him completely off guard.

No matter how hard one searches, they can't find out the woman's true identity or her real background.

The woman's mystery made him uneasy.im.Feng Ming saw the tension in their eyes and quickly said, "Don't overthink it, what I want to say is good news."An Xuetang is now terrified, she can't bear the repeated hope followed by disappointm...
