Everyone bows to greet him, ”Greeting, Your Majesty.”
Jun Qian Che sits on the main seat. He waves them off, ”All of you may get up. What is going on, what are the empress and General Mo doing here in Gui Ning Palace?”
Now that Jun Qian Che is here, Yang Shi Han changes approach and sheds tears pitifully, ”Your Majesty, the empress and General Mo are bullying chenqie.”
Mo Qi Qi is utterly dumbfounded when she hears that, ”What a pity you are not an actress, Yang Shi Han! You were the one who was making things hard for us, now you are saying that we are the one bullying you?”
”Just listen to her, Your Majesty. Chenqie is just a weak woman, how can chenqie bully both the empress and General Mo? You must give chenqie justice, Your Majesty,” Yang Shi Han's pitiful look sure can move the hardest heart.
Mo Qi Qi is having a hard time reining in her emotions. She points at Yang Shi Han accusingly, ”Yang Shi Han, don't think that I wouldn't dare to punish you just because you are Jun Qian Che's beloved consort! I will teach you a lesson today, so that you'd only speak the truth from now on!”
She rushes towards Yang Shi Han, only to be stopped by her brother. ”Cease your anger, Your Ladyship.”
”Do not stop me, Ge. Yang Guifei is too despicable!”
Jun Qian Che icily opens his mouth, ”That is enough, empress. Do you not see zhen in here?”
Mo Qi Qi momentarily calms down as she earnestly addresses Jun Qian Che, ”Please cease your anger, Your Majesty. Chenqie simply lost control after hearing Yang Guifei's lies.”
”The empress hates it when people lie as well?” Jun Qian Che calmly asks, though one can somehow sense the slight accusation underneath his voice.
Mo Qi Qi does not think too much of it and quickly says, ”Of course! Who likes it when they are being lied to? Your Majesty, chenqie knows that you favors Yang Guifei, but please investigate this matter properly. Yang Guifei was the one who started it, yet she went around accusing everyone else.”
Jun Qian Che turns to Yang Shi Han, ”What is going on?”
Yang Shi Han tells him everything from the beginning till the end.
After hearing Yang Shi Han's explanation, Jun Qian Che turns to Mo Cheng Xuan, ”Is Yang Guifei telling the truth, Official Mo?”
Mo Cheng Xuan respectfully replies him, ”Her Ladyship was telling the truth. Please punish this official, Your Majesty.”
Mo Qi Qi immediately helps Mo Cheng Xuan up, ”Your Majesty, chenqie does not believe what my brother said. The fact that he rejected Yang Guifei's soup signifies his loyalty to you. If he had drank it, he would be branded as a preposterous official. Even Yang Guifei's name would be dragged through the mud along with his. One is a consort and the other is an official, just how inappropriate would it be if he drank the soup she made in the middle of the back palace. As for my brother rushing into Yang Guifei's private chamber, it was not his even his fault. Yang Guifei screamed for her life over a little c.o.c.kroach, did the c.o.c.kroach threatened to take her life? It is one's natural instinct to a.s.sume that Yang Guifei's life is in danger the moment she screamed for her life, my brother is a military general, it is his instinct to protect the weak. Besides, Yang Guifei wasn't completely bare, then. What is the problem?”
”You—- Did you hear the empress, Your Majesty? Is she implying that she wants her brother to see chenqie completely naked?” Yang Shi Han looks at Jun Qian Che in grievance.
”Your Ladyship, that was not what the empress means,” Mo Cheng Xuan tries to back his sister.
Mo Qi Qi is unruffled, ”Hmph, even if you were completely naked, my brother still wouldn't be willing to look at you! My brother is so perfect, there are so many girls wanting to be with him. As for you? Hmph. You are not worthy of him! Who do you think you are, a young maiden?” The one man that suits you is Jun Qian Che, that trash.
”You— You—-”' Yang Shi Han is so angry that she does not know what to say.
Jun Qian Che unhappily reprimands her, ”Mind your bearing, empress. Do not speak nonsense.”
”Chenqie was not speaking nonsense, Your Majesty! You are too biased towards Yang Guifei! You scolded me for wearing a dancing dress, saying that it was too revealing, but look at what Yang Guifei is wearing! The material is so thin! You can clearly see her shoulders, the opening of the collar is too big as well, pretty much the top part of her chest is being flaunted. Maybe, she was trying to seduce my brother, but my brother's mental strength was too strong, so she could only resort to this method. There are so many beautiful women near my brother, why would he look at her?”
”You- You- You—” Yang Shi Han is so angry that her face turns red.
Jun Qian Che glares at Mo Qi Qi.
Mo Qi Qi clicks her tongue.
Yang Shi Han turns to Jun Qian Che coquettishly, ”Your Majesty, you must give chenqie justice! The empress is mocking chenqie in that manner! General Mo acts upright in front of others, but the truth is he tried to molest chenqie earlier on!”
