Chapter 1966: Finding Fault and Hitting a Wall
d take a look personally."The masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, his cold gaze fixed on An Xuetang, "Do you want to run away""..."An Xue Tang couldn't control herself and rolled her eyes at him di...Even though she was stopped by her own mother, Mo Rongyan still resolutely said, “Mother, you don’t need to worry about this matter, let your son handle it.”
Mo Rongyan had a fiery temper. As the emperor's most beloved princess and the only legitimate daughter of Kunning Palace, no one dared to act presumptuous in front of her since she was a child.
Especially after her mother became the empress, she practically ran amok in the palace.
Although she had been married to her husband for many years, she still wanted to return to the palace. Inside the palace, she would arbitrarily punish those court ladies of lower status, and her father emperor had never objected to this.
So in Mo Rongyan's opinion now, even if she went to scold this Zhi Gui Fei and give her a taste of her own medicine, her father emperor wouldn't say anything.
The Empress wanted to stop her, but Mo Rongyan's fiery personality had already left Kunning Palace with her people.
The Empress paced anxiously, on one hand wanting to find out the woman's true identity, on the other fearing that her only daughter would be at a disadvantage.
But then she thought, her maternal family, the Hu family, weren't people to be bullied by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
Even ordinary people wouldn't dare to do anything to the only princess.
Thinking this way, she let Mo Rongyan go wild, but still sent a lot of people to follow and protect her.
......
Mo Rongyan, upon leaving Kunning Palace, headed straight for the palace where Zhi'er resided.
As soon as he reached the doorstep, he was stopped by someone with a blank expression.
A dozen or so Imperial Guards blocked Mo Rongyan's path. Seeing them dare to stop her, Mo Rongyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She glared at the people before her, coldly speaking, "Do you know who I am"
These Imperial Guards were sent by the Emperor, and Chi'er’s subordinates were also wearing Imperial Guard uniforms.
Now, looking at Mo Rongyan who came to cause trouble, these people were still as calm as ever, as if they didn't take the princess in front of them seriously.
At this time, the two maidservants beside Mo Rongyan saw that they were still blocking their princess's way with swords, and immediately strode forward menacingly, pointing at these Imperial Guards and roared:
"Be presumptuous! How dare you block the Princess's path Move aside at once!"
Before the maidservant could even retract her expression, a dagger suddenly flew towards her, piercing straight into her chest.
This sudden scene startled everyone.
Those maids and eunuchs quickly surrounded Mo Rongyan, afraid that someone might harm her.
Mo Rongyan was quite arrogant at first, but when her own maid was killed, she couldn't help but panic for a moment. Her flustered eyes darted around nervously.
Who really did this
At that moment, she glanced to the right and immediately saw a strikingly beautiful woman being escorted by a group of maids slowly walking towards them.
At the sight of this woman's attire, Mo Rongyan immediately guessed her identity.
As expected, this is the newly appointed imperial concubine by her father emperor.
Knowing the person before her was the so-called Chi Guifei, the very one who had occupied her father emperor's days for so long, Mo Rongyan's volatile temper could no longer be contained.
She reached out and pushed the two maidservants blocking her path aside, her sinister eyes fixed directly on Chi Guifei before her.
She looked up and down at Chi'er, then suddenly sneered, "I thought she was a beautiful maiden, a stunning beauty, but now it seems my father has a unique taste, he likes these old foxes, huh!"
Mo Rongyan just let out a cold snort. Zhi'er's eyes remained still, without any fluctuation. She slowly turned her head to glance at her subordinates.
The subordinate immediately understood, nodded at Chi'er, and drew his sword.
Before anyone could react, the two maids standing beside Mo Rongyan were immediately beheaded.
Such a scene had rarely been staged in the palace.
Mòróng Yán, though she often had servants killed and saw people die before her eyes, had rarely witnessed such a bloody scene of someone being beheaded.
As soon as the heads of those two maids rolled off their shoulders, she turned pale with fear, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She screamed in terror repeatedly.
With a stoic expression, Chi'er watched her subordinates complete the task without uttering a word to Mo Rongyan.
"I merely told the guards at the palace gate, 'Whoever dares to make a disturbance here again will be killed without mercy! Regardless of their status, they shall all be slain. If there's anything to discuss, I shall personally report to the Emperor.'"
After saying that, Zi'er walked in leisurely.
Mò Róng Yán was already so scared her face had turned pale, but seeing this woman act so arrogantly, not treating her, the princess, as important, she almost wanted to curse.
But the moment her hand reached out, one of the guard soldiers instantly stopped her with his sword. As long as she dared to curse, this man would cut off her arm right there.
Realizing this, Mo Rongyan's spine turned cold, frightened to the point of collapse, she fainted.
Seeing Mo Rongyan fall to the ground, the other palace maids and eunuchs immediately screamed, shouting, "Your Highness."
After he finished shouting, they quickly carried Mo Rongyan away, still yelling for the imperial physician.
......
Mo Rongyan only fainted due to shock, so she didn't pass out for long.
As soon as she was carried to the entrance of Kunning Palace, she woke up.
After waking up, she immediately cried out to see her father emperor, and no one in the palace could stop her.
Thus, she stormed off to the imperial study in a rage.
When the Empress heard the news and rushed out, it was too late; her daughter had already dashed into the imperial study.
Fearing that the emperor might do something to Mo Rongyan, the empress hurried over at that moment.
Mo Rongyan still thought that as long as she came to see the Emperor, the Emperor would definitely meet her.
Who knew she couldn't even get into the imperial study, and who knows how fast that person was, they already alerted the emperor.
The Emperor had already learned that Mo Rongyan had gone to Zhi'er's palace, so when Mo Rongyan rushed over, the Emperor didn't even look at her and ordered someone to drag her down and beat her thirty strokes.
Luckily, the Queen arrived in time and stopped the Imperial Guards from attacking.
No matter how the Empress and Mo Rongyan pleaded outside the Imperial Study, or pretended to be wronged, the Emperor wouldn't even see them.
He even threatened that if they continued to make a fuss, he would take harsher measures against them.
The empress, having served by the emperor's side for many years, naturally understood his temperament.
The emperor has spoken, and if she and Mo Rongyan dare to continue kneeling outside the imperial study today, the emperor will certainly make good on his word and do something even more cruel to both of them.
Thinking this way, although she was unwilling, the Empress still took Mo Rongyan away from the imperial study.
Luckily, under the Empress's insistence, no one dared to give Mo Rongyan thirty lashes.
The moment she stepped out of the palace, Mo Rongyan's face was contorted with anger, her entire being radiating murderous intent.
As soon as she got into the princess's carriage, she immediately said coldly to the guard, "Take me to the Fourth Prince's residence." the adults are willing to discuss matters at the Anle Marquis Estate, it means they're serious this time. His marriage to Miss Xiaoqin is finally going to happen.……Meanwhile, at the residence of Anle...
