Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Shen Xingxi: [Do you think I need his protection? System, I may want to be protected by others, but I cannot rely on him for protection.]

[Host, you are right! But I will protect you! If Mo Hongyun makes you angry, I will make him fart every day! ]

【Hahahaha, a single bet does not count as a bet. 】

Mo Hongyun: “…” He smiled helplessly, stood up and called the prime minister in.

His demeanor was still as humble and respectful as that of a prince, and he bowed to the prime minister: "Uncle Li, I have encountered a new problem, and I would like to ask you for help."

The prime minister felt mixed emotions and quickly helped Mo Hongyun up: "Your Majesty, you are already the ruler of a country, your status is noble, you must not bow to me again."

Mo Hongyun smiled lightly, as if compromising: "Forget it, then I'll listen to Uncle Li."

When the prime minister saw that the emperor did not change the way he addressed him, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He looked at Mo Hongyun lovingly and asked, "Your Majesty, what difficulties have you encountered? I will do my best to help you."

Mo Hongyun said with a depressed look: "Just now I heard the conversation between the Queen and the system. The system said that as long as I make the Queen angry, I will be frustrated every day. I wonder if Uncle Li has a solution?"

The veins on the prime minister's forehead twitched. How to deal with this matter that did not conform to his understanding?

His mood couldn't help but become heavy, as anything that made the Queen angry would definitely result in demotion.

It seems that we can't use open tactics to deal with the Queen.

Considering the emperor's feelings for the queen, he took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it carefully. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Mo Hongyun nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Li. I will support the Queen this time."

"As it should be."

The prime minister called the ministers back to the Golden Palace.

Mo Hongyun glanced at the ministers present, "I just received some news related to the Queen's matter. Eunuch Zhou, tell the ministers the news."

Eunuch Zhou read out the latest news, "A tree outside the Prime Minister's ancestral hall caught fire for no reason. Next to the tree was a piece of red cloth with a note saying: Li Xun is possessed by a ghost. Please, Your Majesty, help me with this.

Outside the Imperial Censorate's ancestral hall, a tree caught fire for no reason. Next to the tree was a red cloth with the following words: Zheng Yan was possessed by a demon cultivator. Please, Your Majesty, avenge my grandson..."

When the censor heard that his own ancestral hall was also on fire and that he was inexplicably related to the evil cultivator, his expression changed. He raised his eyes slightly and carefully observed the emperor's expression.

"I never thought that there were so many demons and monsters around me!" Mo Hongyun's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold and majestic. "Yushi, didn't you just say that it is better to believe it than not to believe it? Now, how do you explain this fire and the red ribbon?"

The censor knelt on the ground, his mind in turmoil.

He knew that the fire and the red ribbon incident were most likely caused by the Queen, but he also knew that the most important thing now was to protect his life and property.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" The censor kowtowed and said, "Please give me some time to prove my innocence. The fire and the red ribbon incident were probably deliberately framed by someone."

"Frame-up?" Mo Hongyun smiled coldly, "Isn't this a warning from my father and all the ancestors? Why did you, the censor, give me time to prove myself when it's your turn?"

The censor's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was too worried about you just now, and I lost my mind. Please consider my sincere heart and give me a lighter sentence."

Mo Hongyun said nothing, his eyes fell on him like a needle.

The censor's body was shaking uncontrollably as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

After a long while, Mo Hongyun retracted his gaze and looked at the Prime Minister: "Prime Minister, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

The Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this person's purpose is to disturb the people and alienate the relationship between the emperor, the queen and me. I ask the emperor to let the Dali Temple investigate this matter thoroughly."

Mo Hongyun's eyes were complicated. The Prime Minister knew clearly that the remaining trees were planted by Xingxi, but he still asked him to send the Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly, which made it clear that he wanted to stand against Xingxi.

A feeling of helplessness surged in his heart. As an emperor, he had to maintain the justice and authority of the court, which also meant that it was difficult to firmly protect Xingxi.

But Xingxi wanted to protect him.

He suddenly found it somewhat funny. He had once fantasized that once he sat on the throne, he would be able to let Xingxi let go and do whatever she wanted without any restraint.

He thought they would create an ideal world together.

The reality is so cruel that it is unacceptable.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner emotions, and asked Eunuch Zhou to serve tea again.

Now he could only choose to delay time, as if he was leisurely sipping tea, neither agreeing nor denying.

The only advantage of this throne is that no one dares to stop him from drinking tea.

Finally, a voice came into the palace: "Your Majesty, the Empress wishes to see you."

"Please come in!" Mo Hongyun stood up out of habit and wanted to greet them, but when he saw the ministers, he reacted and stopped abruptly.

Shen Xingxi saw this scene. She curled her lips, bowed, walked to Mo Hongyun, and put the candy in his hand.

Mo Hongyun looked at the candy in his hand, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and the heaviness in his heart dissipated in an instant.

Shen Xingxi resisted the urge to rub Mo Hongyun's head, returned to the main hall, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I heard that a tree outside the imperial mausoleum caught fire for no reason, and left behind a piece of red cloth that wrongly accused me.

This matter is very strange, and I feel deeply frightened.

I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and give me justice."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent.

The Prime Minister had never expected that the Queen would take the initiative to propose a thorough investigation of the matter, which showed that the Queen had full confidence in her ability to arrange everything in such a short time and ensure that the Dali Temple could not point the finger at her.

But the queen was still too young. Not to mention that the burning of the other trees was caused by the queen, even if it was not the case, he could still forge several pieces of evidence!
