t as Ye Er was about to feign insanity and give her a silly grin, she lowered her voice and spoke first, "Ye Er, how long are you going to pretend"An Xuetang's words came as such a surprise to Ye Er,...Since Mo Yunjing had already said so, it wouldn't be good for the others to continue asking.

All she could do was remain calm and wait, to see how Mo Yunjing would resolve this difficult matter in the next two days.

When the discussion on the matter was nearly over, Feng Ming and Han Yun left the study first. They had no interest in participating in state affairs of Tianba Kingdom.

Mo Yunjing stayed behind and discussed with Mo Junyi about the events that occurred at court today.

After returning to the capital, Mo Yunjing, as the King of Beijiang, also had to attend court.

Although the emperor was incompetent and tyrannical, he did at least attend court on time. At court, he seemed to listen to what the ministers had to say about important matters concerning the people's livelihood.

Even when Mo Yun Jing went to court, he noticed that although the emperor seemed to be listening attentively, his eyes were slightly vacant.

It seems that Chi'er's control over him has gradually deepened. If we don't come up with a way to stop it soon, in the long run, the emperor will be completely controlled by Chi'er.

By then, the entire Tianba Kingdom will be plagued by Zhi'er.

However, after the emperor was controlled by Zhi'er, there was actually one benefit for Mo Yunjing.

The emperor, now under Chi'er's control, clearly no longer had the energy to deal with him.

Whenever he went to court, the emperor would often find trouble for Mo Yunjing. Even though Beijang王府 hadn't done anything wrong, the emperor would single him out and rebuke him.

But obviously, this time after Mo Yunjing came back, even though he wore a veil every time he went to court, the emperor never expressed any dissatisfaction.

In other words, the current emperor seems to have found something more important to do and doesn't have the time or inclination to engage in a power struggle with Mo Yunjing.

Because he didn't know to what extent the emperor was controlled, Mo Yunjing did not dare to act rashly.

All we can do is constantly send people into the palace undercover to monitor everything that's happening inside.

Word from the palace arrived every day, so Mò Yúnjǐng knew that many of the concubines in the harem were deeply affected by Zhī'ěr's machinations.

Right now, they didn't even dare to breathe. Though each one was extremely unhappy with Zhi'er dominating the harem, there was nothing they could do about it.

Those consorts couldn't think of any way to drive Zhi'er out of the palace. As for Empress Hu Jinfeng, the mistress of the six palaces, she stayed in her Kunning Palace and didn't interfere with anything else.

Mo Yunjing still thought that Hu Jin Feng had become wiser and only wanted to protect herself, not participating in the affairs of the palace.

But unexpectedly, soon after Feng Ming and Han Yun left, Hu Jinfeng sent someone to find Beijang Wangfu.

Upon learning that it was Hu Jin Feng, Mo Jun Yi instinctively looked at Mo Yun Jing, "Fifth Uncle, do you want to meet"

Mo Yunjing's obsidian eyes narrowed slightly, "Since she's already here, we should at least give her some face."

Regardless, as the empress, she holds authority over the six palaces and can sometimes have a say in certain matters.

Now that Mo Junyi wants to sit in that position, he certainly can't offend everyone.

The Empress wished to be on good terms with the Northern Border Prince's Manor, and they had no reason to refuse.

After Mo Yunjing said this, Mo Junyi nodded and then ordered someone to invite the Empress's people into the mansion.

They still thought the Queen had only sent someone to discuss matters with them, so at this moment, as they looked at the person slowly walking into the study, a hint of surprise flashed in Mo Yunjing's usually calm eyes.

He really didn't expect the Empress to come in person.

Mo Junyi hesitated for a moment before standing up proactively. He also rarely bowed respectfully to the Empress, “Grandson greets Imperial Grandmother.”

Unlike in the past, the empress's noble gaze would rarely fall upon Mo Junyi.

But times have changed. Today, the Beijiang Prince's Mansion is something the Empress cannot aspire to.

And the Empress, who had never paid any heed to Mo Junyi, has now become one of the few people who can save her from this predicament.

So seeing Mo Junyi bow to her, the Empress immediately put on a fake smile and walked up to him with an air of benevolence. She personally helped him up and said, "Junyi, you don't have to be so polite to your grandmother. You must have suffered quite a bit these past few days, haven't you"

This facade of harmony, Mo Junyi had long been accustomed to, so dealing with it was quite easy.

He shook his head slightly, "Grandmother Empress needn't worry, the people in Beijang Wangfu treat me very well, and my Fifth Uncle treats me like his own son, so I haven't been wronged at all."

Hu Jinfeng immediately explained, "Grandmother's meaning is certainly not that you are wronged in the Beijiang Wangfu. These days, although Grandmother is in the palace, she has also heard a lot of things and knows that your father who doesn't understand right from wrong has done many wrong things. You, child, have always been filial and kindhearted. It is certain that the things he did must have hurt your heart."

After saying that, she gently patted Mo Junyi's hand, "But Zi Ling, you don't have to worry too much. Even without your father's favor, you still have your grandmother and your fifth uncle. Rest assured, your grandmother will spoil and protect you in the future."

"…"Mo Junyi sneered inwardly. Back when he was in the capital, this so-called imperial grandmother had been among those who wanted him dead.

Now, hearing her say those words "spoil" and "protect" with her own mouth is simply ironic.

However, at this juncture, Mo Junyi certainly wouldn't turn his back on her. She

He remained impassive, merely offering a forced smile. "Then this grandson thanks his Imperial Grandmother."

After a few superficial pleasantries with Mo Junyi, Hu Jin Feng finally turned her attention to Mo Yunjing.

Logically speaking, Mo Yunjing should get up and bow to her.

But this Mo Yun Jing has always been arrogant and conceited.

Whether in the past or present, as long as there are no outsiders, Mo Yunjing shows her no deference whatsoever.

Now, seeing Mo Yunjing calmly seated in the chair without so much as a bow to her, she could only swallow her anger.

"I still have to pretend nothing's wrong and speak first, 'Xiaowu, you're in your own manor study right now. Why are you wearing a veil Did something happen to your face Is it serious"y to the side, his gaze fixed faintly on Lan Chu Xiao.Lan Chu Xiao didn't know how much effort it took to suppress the anger in her heart.He glared at Yun Jiu with furious eyes, his voice almost gritt...
