Chapter 1198: It's Good to See You Alive
Yunjing had placed guards around An Xue Tang. Since she wouldn't leave An Xue Tang's side, it was best to have the guards investigate."But An Xuetang shook her head, “Ning’er, get on my horse. We’ll...All the way, An Xue Tang still couldn't figure out how to arrange the remaining manpower.
If she were to say that she was taking a few people on the road, not only would Ning'er and Shou'er and the others firmly object, even Yun Si would fight tooth and nail against it.
For he would not be able to explain himself to Mo Yunjing.
If she were to take most of the troops with her, the defenses of Beijang Wangfu would be far too weak.
She couldn't rest easy about Feng Ming.
An Xuetang frowned, thinking that there wasn't a way to please both sides and wishing she could get to Youlan City faster.
"Your Highness, watch your step."
Seeing An Xue Tang's absentmindedness, Ning Er quickly reminded her, and An Xue Tang then came to her senses.
As she ascended the steps to the Zichen Palace, An Xuetang let out a slight sigh. Thinking about how soon she would meet the so-called "dog emperor," she couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions.
Her A-Jing is such a good person, look at the kind of people her biological father and siblings are.
Withdrawn from her thoughts, An Xue Tang walked forward slowly. Mo Yun Ze followed behind them at a distance.
As soon as she entered the main hall and saw that repulsive face, An Xuetang's brows furrowed involuntarily.
The Emperor had always disliked An Xue Tang, so when he saw her, his face immediately darkened.
Thinking back to what the Imperial Guards had reported to him earlier, he looked at An Xue Tang with a more complicated expression.
Mo Yunze went forward and bowed to the emperor. However, An Xuetang remained still, showing no intention of bowing to the emperor.
Seeing her like this, the other ministers present in the main hall began to discuss among themselves.
Some people, seeing the Emperor's face growing increasingly dark, took it upon themselves to reprimand An Xue Tang, saying, "Be presumptuous! You lot should pay respects to the Emperor!"
“...”
Ning'er and Shou'er immediately struck out with their palms, each using their inner energy to slap the man from afar.
This official was already weak, and after being slapped by Ning'er and Shou'er like that, he instantly fell to the ground.
His trembling hand immediately shot up, pointing at Ning'er. "You... you..."
"Bold!" Shour learned from his earlier tone, "You dare not bow before our Queen"
"!"
All the ministers looked at each other in stunned silence. They weren't seeing Princess Bei Jiang for the first time, but this time, even the people around her dared to be so disrespectful.
Now they still dare to act so presumptuously in the Zichen Hall, even in front of the Emperor. They simply... don't even care about the Emperor at all.
The emperor, seated on his dragon throne, glared with eyes blazing with fury. His facial muscles trembled with anger as fire-like intensity glinted in his gaze. Witnessing this infuriating scene, he could no longer contain himself. He slammed the armrest of his dragon throne and roared, "An Xuetang, have you had enough"
An Xuetang smiled, "Enough, Father."
"..."
This Beijiang princess is really... She won't rest until she drives the emperor crazy!
As expected, the emperor's anger flared upon hearing An Xuetang's calm and collected response. His teeth chattered with rage, his eyes blazing with an uncontrollable fury.
An Xuetang pretended not to see, she looked around, "Ning'er, Shou'er, today we are here to reason, try not to use our hands, lest we hurt everyone's harmony."
Ning'er and Shou'er said in unison, "Yes."
After finishing, Shou'er added deliberately, "But if there are any flies that come up to die, this servant girl will still slap them dead, after all, one can't let annoying flies disturb the princess."
An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, "Hmm."
Above the grand hall, three women looked down upon everyone, even the emperor. The people present were astonished, feeling a mix of awe and sympathy.
What's the Northern Border Princess's confidence based on
Just as the Emperor was about to erupt, An Xue Tang finally looked at him, "Father Emperor, did you summon your daughter-in-law this time because of Zhao Si"
The emperor snorted coldly, “You still know what kind of trouble you’ve caused Zhao Sinan is the most beloved princess of the Xuan Kingdom Emperor. You dare to take her life An Xuetang, do you know how grave your crime is”
The emperor's voice rose from a low rumble to a high-pitched roar. His face flushed red, then turned blue, his neck swelling as if it would burst. The sight was ludicrously comical.
"An Xue Tang, however, remained unmoved. She stared at the emperor impassively, "Your Majesty, please be clear. What wrong has your daughter-in-law committed"
"You!"
The emperor, trembling with rage, pointed a shaking finger at An Xuetang. "You... are beyond saving! Now that things have come to this, do you think you can escape!"
An Xuetang was too lazy to argue with him. She snorted coldly, "Your Majesty only knows that Zhao Si died, but does Your Majesty know that Zhao Si once caused your son Mo Yunjing to die in the Xuan Kingdom Your Majesty can choose not to avenge Mo Yunjing, but as his daughter-in-law, I cannot swallow this grudge. Zhao Si is arrogant and domineering, bullying others with her power. When Mo Yunjing was on a diplomatic mission to the Xuan Kingdom, she even nearly cost him his life."
"Back then, she harmed my family's Northern Border King, but she didn't face any punishment. Since she's come to me willingly this time, if my daughter-in-law is so heartless and doesn't help my family's Northern Border King seek revenge, I don't deserve to be his queen."
An Xue Tang's words were a double entendre, and anyone with a sound mind could hear the implication that An Xue Tang was referring to the emperor as "heartless and cruel."
After all, Mo Yunjing has won so many battles over the years. But the emperor not only fails to stand up for him when he is wronged, but also prevents his wife from seeking revenge. Isn't that heartless and cruel. "Still no clues""Your Highness, we've searched everywhere within a few dozen miles of Youlan City, but found no clues. They vanished as if into thin air."These days, the Xun Tang Gu brothers he brou...
