At the moment, Yang Shi Han is only wearng her inner garments. Although the important parts are all concealed, men aren't supposed to even look at women's feet, let alone anywhere else.
Yang Shi Han hastily covers her own chest.
Mo Cheng Xuan immediately turns around, ”Please forgive me, Your Ladyship. This general didn't do it on purpose!”
”You are too much, Mo Cheng Xuan. Not only were you disrespectful towards bengong, you actually dared to enter bengong's private chamber! You must be tired on living!”
Her servants who hear her scream rush in, ”What happened, Your Ladyship?”
By now, Yang Shi Han has already properly put on her dress. She glances at her servants icily, ”Are you people blind? Didn't you see that General Mo has rushed into bengong's private chamber?”
Yang Shi Han's personal maid, Qing Er unhappily says, ”You are too preposterous, General Mo. No men can simply enter Her Ladyship's chamber!”
Mo Cheng Xuan tries to explain himself: ”Yang Guifei, this general heard you calling for help and thought someone had attacked you. This general did not do this intentionally.”
Yang Shi Han walks in front of him and stares at him before saying, ”Let bengong ask you something, General Mo. Do you find bengong beautiful?” She is wearing a pale lavender dress at the moment, layered with thin gauze. She looks particularly beautiful and refined. Her long hair are flying gracefully at the moment due to the wind from the window. She is wearing some pearl ornaments in the shape of flowers on her head, making her look as though she is glowing. Her skin is fair and smooth. She looks like a celestial being from the heaven. Her fingers are slender and her skin is creamy and her smile is charming, inciting emotions that one cannot comprehend. She looks at him almost haughtily, waiting for his reply.
He looks back at her while calmly saying, ”Beautiful.”
Yang Shi Han smiles arrogantly, ”Since you think bengong is beautiful, you must have harboured some ill-intention towards bengong. That was why you trespa.s.sed into bengong's chamber.”
Mo Cheng Xuan continues explaining himself, ”You've misunderstood, Your Ladyship. This general has said it just now, this general heard you screaming for help, that was why this general rushed in.”
”Hmph, stop lying. Bengong's Gui Ning Palace has always been tightly-guarded, never mind an a.s.sa.s.sin, even a fly cannot fly in! Bengong was only screaming because there was a c.o.c.kroach.” Yang Shi Han looks at him with her chin tipped high.
Hearing her words, Mo Cheng Xuan realizes that he was the one who had been impulsive, ”It was this general who lost conduct, please forgive me! This general is willing to be punished. I will wait outside while you sort your appearance out, Your Ladyship.”
Yang Shi Han smiles proudly as she looks at Mo Cheng Xuan who is walking out: How can there be someone so righteous in this world? Idiot.
After a moment, she walks out and sits on her designated seat. She looks at Mo Cheng Xuan and imposingly asks him, ”Mo Cheng Xuan, you wronged bengong again. A mistake on top of a mistake. How do you think bengong should punish you?”
Mo Qi Qi very quickly finds out about Yang Shi Han taking her brother away.
She comforts her worried mother, ”Please wait for us here, Mother. We will return soon.”
She rushes to Gui Ning Palace and hears that question just in time. She cuts them off, ”Who do you think you are to punish bengong's brother?”
Seeing Mo Qi Qi who is walking in, Yang Shi Han smiles arrogantly, ”The empress sure came fast. Since you are here, please mediate over this matter for chenqie. General Mo not only spilled the soup that chenqie prepared for His Majesty, he also rushed into chenqie's chamber while chenqie was changing! What kind of punishment do you think he should get, Your Ladyship?”
”Hmph, that is only from your side! How can bengong believe anything if it comes from only one side of the story!” Mo Qi Qi glares at Yang Shi Han.
Yang Shi Han smiles, ”Alright, you can ask General Mo himself if chenqie was lying.”
Mo Qi Qi turns to Mo Cheng Xuan, ”Ge, was Yang Guifei telling the truth?”
Mo Cheng Xuan nods, ”Yang Guifei was telling the truth.”
Mo Qi Qi suddenly has the desire to knock him in the head. Must this brother be so honest? When faced with the sly Yang Shi Han, even the truth might not be the truth. She is here to save him, but now that he said that, how is she going to do just that?
Yang Shi Han raises her brow haughtily at Mo Qi Qi, ”You heard it yourself, Your Ladyship. Chenqie was not framing him.”
”I don't believe you. My brother is not that kind of person,” Mo Qi Qi retorts back. Although she has only meet Mo Cheng Xuan for a couple of times, she can tell that he is a very upright person. He is a rule-abider and is also very collected. There must be something wrong in this.
”Your brother admitted it himself, are you still trying to make excuses for him?” Yang Shi Han mockingly laughs.
Mo Qi Qi looks at Yang Shi Han in disdain, ”Bengong wants to know something. If you were on your way to send soup to His Majesty, what were you doing in front of Feng Yang Palace? It was not in the way. Did you purposely went to Feng Yang Palace with ill-intention?”
”Please be mindful of your words, Your Ladyship. The palace is so big, it is up to chenqie to take whichever route chenqie wanted! There is no rule against that,” Yang Shi Han arrogantly retorts back.
Mo Qi Qi nods, ”There is indeed no rule against that. You can pa.s.s by bengong's palace, but why did you stop when you saw bengong's brother? How did he end up spilling soup on you?”
”Chenqie was just kind-heartedly offering him the soup. It is okay if he wants to reject it, but he actually spilled it on chenqie! He was too disrespectful!”
