Chapter 2020: Who Doesn't Play?
e of myself."She originally wanted to comfort Mo Yunjing, but who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Mo Yunjing's face not only didn't improve, but actually darkened even mo...Sowing discord
After An Xuetang finished speaking, Zhi'er immediately became anxious. She glared with wide eyes, "An Xuetang you..."
"Zhibifei, don't get so excited." An Xuetang didn't give her a chance to retort at all. Raising her voice now, she interrupted Zhi'er with a louder voice than hers, "What's Zhibifei in such a hurry for Could it be because you're guilty and afraid that Your Majesty will know what you've done"
"An Xuetang, don't slander me!"
Zi'er's cold eyes stared fixedly at An Xue Tang. Although she had already put a curse on the emperor, the curse in his body was not always effective.
The emperor, a man of deep suspicion, would surely overthink An Xue Tang's words.
As expected, after hearing An Xue Tang's words, the emperor's eyes became deep. He was acupointed by Mo Yun Jing and couldn't move at the moment, he could only turn his head.
Eyes that betrayed no emotion stared at Chier.
Seeing his look, Zhi'er's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly spoke up to explain, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense. I absolutely didn't do what she said, Your Majesty…"
"Enough."
The Emperor suddenly cut off Zhi'er's words, which not only shocked Zhi'er but also made Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang subconsciously look at each other. 'Apparently, they hadn't expected the Emperor to interrupt Zhi'er.'
Could it be... that he suspected Chi'er so quickly
At the thought of this, a subtle, almost imperceptible smirk played at An Xue Tang's lips.
As expected of an emperor, he's still as suspicious as ever.
That he could become suspicious of Zhi'er, someone he trusted so much, in such a short amount of time...Their trip to the palace with Mo Yunjing this time was quite fruitful.
Zhi'er, who was standing by the side, hadn't expected the emperor to interrupt her. So, a flash of astonishment crossed her eyes, and she couldn't help but brew killing intent.
But she quickly realized what, instantly came to her senses, put on an extremely fake mask, with a wronged and pitiful expression, staring tearfully at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this concubine actually…"
Before she could finish her words, the Emperor's brows furrowed, and he coldly said, "I trust my beloved consort. There is no need for further explanation."
Although the emperor said he believed it, who among those present didn't know him
He looked suspicious. I wonder what he'll do to Chi-er now that he's become distrustful.
Even after the emperor was not affected by the parasites, his attitude and feelings toward Zhi'er remained as cold and ruthless as ever.
See this clearly, Zhi'er clenched her teeth secretly, her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, her fingernails digging deep into her flesh.
The killing intent in her heart grew stronger and stronger. As expected, this man's mouth was full of lies.
She shouldn't have believed he could possibly have even a shred of feeling for her.
After all these years, the man is still the same self-centered and independent one who only cares about himself.
After interrupting Zhi'er, the emperor turned his sinister gaze towards Mo Yunjing, saying coldly, "You little wretch, what are you doing standing there Don't you hurry and untie me Or do you really want to kill me"
Mò Yúnjǐng subconsciously looked at An Xuetāng. His gaze clearly told everyone that if An Xuetāng disagreed to untie it, he wouldn't move to do so.
Luckily, Mo Yunjing was standing beside the emperor. The emperor couldn't see his facial expression, otherwise he would be furious at this moment.
An Xuetang didn't want to continue staying in the palace and maneuvering with the emperor and people like Zhi'er. So, when Mo Yunjing looked at her, she slightly nodded at him, signaling that he could untie her.
After Mo Yunjing had opened up the emperor's acupoints, he walked back to An Xuetang's side and stood beside her steadily, giving her a sense of security.
No matter how many Imperial Guards surrounded them, as long as Mo Yunjing stood beside An Xuetang, she could feel completely at ease.
No one knew what the Emperor was thinking. After Mo Yunjing untied him, his sinister eyes swept over both Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang.
He then turned and began to undo Chi'er's acupuncture points.
When Zhi'er, having regained her freedom, was about to burst into tears again, the emperor, perhaps accustomed to such tactics from the palace ladies, spoke first before she could even start sobbing:
"My beloved consort, please return to your chambers first. I will come find you later. Right now, I have some important matters to discuss with the King of the Northern Border. You needn't wait for me, just go back and rest."
Chie: "!" Her face instantly stiffened.
As expected!
The emperor still suspected her, to be honest. If it were any other day, the emperor would never have sent her away at this time.
The emperor's actions now clearly show that he has taken heed of what An Xuetang said earlier and begun to harbor suspicion towards her.
Although Chi'er didn't want to leave so dejectedly, the emperor had already started to suspect her. If she insisted on staying now, it would only make him doubt her even more.
So, after the Emperor finished speaking, Zhi'er immediately put on a look of extreme grievance and bowed to the Emperor. "Yes, Your Majesty,"
Before leaving, her sinister eyes glared at Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's faces before she reluctantly turned and left.
After Zhi'er left the imperial study, the emperor glanced around at the Imperial Guards still standing in the study and scolded, "What Do you need me to escort you out"
These Imperial Guards quickly pleaded for mercy and then swiftly retreated.
When only three people remained in the imperial study, the emperor initially wanted An Xuetang to leave. However, upon meeting Mo Yunjing's gaze, he abandoned this thought.
Mo Yunjing would protect his own wife with such a demeanor, even if he opened his mouth, Mo Yunjing wouldn't agree to let An Xuetang wait outside the Imperial study.
So, after some thought, the emperor let out a cold snort. He flicked his sleeve and then turned around to sit back down on his throne.
He raised his cold eyes to look at Mo Yunjing and An Xue Tang, “Just now, I truly did slap myself! And wanted to injure myself with a broken sword”
Mo Yunjing's expression was calm as still water, his emotionless eyes fixed on the emperor, "Indeed."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "How can I trust you"
“If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I have no other way. But Your Majesty has also seen it. If what Concubine Zhi says is true, that I want to harm You, why would I go through all this trouble With my skills, if I truly wanted to rebel and seize the throne, if I truly chose to attack You today, could You still be sitting here talking to me like this”
The emperor clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, "Mo Yun Jing, don't go too far."
Listening to the emperor roar again, An Xuetang helplessly shook her head. "Your Majesty, don't overdo it. It was you who wanted to hear an explanation. My lord simply spoke the truth. If you don't want to hear it, then we'll shut up from now on."hat, he rushed forward first, heading straight for Shuangshuang. However, how could the people of Beijiang王府 allow him to get so close Immediately, his men and the people of Beijiang王府 clashed fierce...
