”Yes, yes. Father-in-law Mt. Tai is right!” Kieran tried to please the old man, but the old man was not happy with his response. Didn't that mean that he, the emperor, was also the son-in-law of the Jin Guo? His status was different …
Jin Guo Zhuo Yunfan had long lived in the imperial court, how could he not know the Emperor's current thoughts? He raised his eyebrows and said, ”Master Shang Shu, this is the imperial court, with the emperor above and the sage below. Who are you calling Mt. Tai this time?”
Empress Zhuo said with a cold face, ”It is rumored in the Shengjing that the Military Department's Minister has told Kieran about the two girls from the Lord Qin's family; that the eldest daughter is wise, gentle and virtuous; that the second daughter is pampered without being able to learn anything, but I don't see it that way today, right?”
Hearing that, the Emperor raised his eyebrows and said, ”Mi Er doesn't know anything? Which bastard said that? Mi Er was three years old and could read a book at the age of five; ten years old and her song had attracted countless of children from Shengjing. If such a girl could not learn, then I really do not know if there is anyone in our Jing Country who can compare to her … Pass my decree, today Qin Yumi will be conferred the title of Princess Zhaoyang's number one genius female! ”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Old Duke smiled and arched his eyebrows. The First Lady slightly nodded her head, but only the woman who was sitting stiffly on the Ninth Prince's body revealed a malicious gaze. In that instant, Ling Moxiao was slightly stunned.
Yu Mi kneeled on the ground to show her gratitude. When she raised her head to see Mo Liangchen's charming smile that looked forward to the chaos in the world, her heart jumped a few times.
Sure enough, the man smiled and sat towards the emperor. He said in a low voice, ”Your majesty, I just understood that the reason this horse was frightened was because that young miss kicked Third Miss's horse first.”
The Emperor had wanted to let this matter rest, but the Eunuch Mo beside him remained silent. After that, he could only speak in a low voice, ”This is indeed … ”I think we all saw it earlier. I think it was the eldest miss who wanted to win …”
”Your majesty, this servant is guilty!” After which, he kneeled onto the floor.
Emperor Wen looked at Mo Liangchen, and actually stood up and said somewhat emotionally: ”Xiao Chenzi, quickly get up; what are you doing now?”
”Your majesty, a few days ago, when you ordered your slave to visit the Lord Qin, this servant personally saw the conflict in the Lord Qin's residence. However, because it is an internal matter of the family, this servant did not mention anything to the emperor.
When he said that, Kieran was so scared that he scrambled to his knees and said, ”Your Majesty, it's nothing. It must have been heard by the Eunuch Mo. Your Majesty …” ”In this official's house …”
”Shut up, hurry up and leave!” You dare be so impudent in front of me? Does This Emperor order you to speak? ” The Emperor Wen scolded angrily.
Kieran shrunk his neck, looking at Mo Liangchen imploringly. That fellow's fox eyes looked at him from head to toe, and then he sighed and said, ”Your majesty, I heard that Lord Qin usually dotes on her concubines to kill their wives. I only thought that since Madam is a direct daughter, I should not interfere in this matter, but from the looks of it, this bastard is already riding on his direct son's head.”
Kieran looked like a dead man's heart. He trembled as he looked at the Dragon Power on the seat up in front of him. He heard the sound of someone furiously hitting the table again.
Old Duke coldly snorted a few times before saying, ”Lord Qin, when you were in the top scholar's senior high, this old man personally asked you, does your family have a wife and concubine? But then again, was there a lover who was betrothed to Meng Hao? ”You denied it then, so I married Xiuwen to you without worry. However, I didn't expect you to randomly make a childhood sweetheart, with a gentle heart, and allowed that woman to enter. Could this be your way of repaying her?”
Kieran wiped off his cold sweat and said, ”Th, no, Jin Guo, please listen to this official. The last time I saw you was just an accident. I was very close with Xiuwen …”
”Oh? Is that really the case? First Lady is right in front of your eyes right now, and what Lord Qin said was the truth. I hope First Lady will not hide anything from you! ” Mo Liangchen continued to ask with a bright smile on his face.
”Your majesty, the Qin Lang is already an old man's wife to me!” He sighed as he came out of his room and kneeled down on the ground.
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes and said: ”Madam Qin, you have not directly answered Eunuch Mo's question … Or are you afraid to answer? ”
Empress Zhuo choked, then lowered her head with a bitter smile. She looked at her little sister with hatred in her eyes, and sighed incessantly.
Emperor Wen looked at Yu Mi in the blink of an eye and asked gently, ”Mi Er, tell me, do you think your father doted on his concubine enough to kill his wife …”
”Your majesty, just as mother said, she and her father are old husband and wife; it is normal for Father to not enter Mother's room and sleep in the courtyard of Second Aunt everyday; furthermore, for Father to punish Mi Er for the matter with Eldest Sister, it is also for Mi Er's own good. This is still better than being an unlearned, shameless and deceitful woman who seduces men, isn't it better than Mi Er?”
It was just a few simple sentences, but it made everyone speechless. Kieran was paralyzed on the ground; Jin Guo was furious; the Emperor was looking at the woman who was lying on top of the Ninth Prince with disgust;
Yu Mi squinted her eyes and looked at Mo Liangchen questioningly. How could this fellow be so kind as to help her? She didn't believe it …
