Chapter 229 I Play Palace Fighting for the Queen 17

Mo Mingkong, however, sat quietly in a chair with his eyes closed and dozed off, paying no attention to the palace coup happening here.

Just when Emperor Yong was about to point his spear at the head of Jiuqiansui, Liu Nishang's father Liu Jiangyan, holding a sword, followed by a dozen pale-faced, empty-eyed old officials, walked into the funeral banquet of the empress dowager. Their steps seemed a little staggering, as if driven by an invisible force.

Liu Jiangyan's eyes widened with anger, and he kept scolding, "Your Majesty is incompetent and incompetent, and you don't care about state affairs. You indulge in wine and sex all day long, which has led to the corruption of the government and the people's misery. Flatterers are in power, forming cliques for personal gain, deceiving the subordinates and deceiving the superiors, making the court a mess; eunuchs are causing chaos in the harem, interfering in government affairs, and having power in the court and the country, trying to overthrow our Dayong Dynasty. You old ministers don't want to see Dayong's country destroyed. Today, in front of the Queen Mother's coffin and the whole court, we will ask Your Majesty for an explanation!"

His voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the palace, making everyone's eardrums buzz. The old ministers who were controlled by the elixir also followed suit, and for a moment, the entire funeral banquet became chaotic.

Emperor Dayong was so angry that his face turned blue. "Liu Jiangyan, how dare you lead the ministers in rebellion? Aren't you afraid that I will kill all your clans?"

Liu Jiangyan was not afraid at all, "If your Majesty is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Today we must make your Majesty give an explanation!"

The two sides were at a stalemate and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

At this moment, Mo Mingkong, who had been silent all the time, suddenly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was laughing at the scene in front of him.

He stood up slowly, and said in a low but authoritative voice, "What are you doing? It's time to end this farce."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves lightly and sprinkled some of the medicine powder that Tinghe had given him.

Those soldiers and ministers who were originally aggressive seemed to be frozen in an instant after being contaminated by the scent of the powder, unable to move.

Mo Mingkong walked towards Liu Jiangyan step by step, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Lord Liu, I will spare your life for the time being because you are an important official of the court. Get out of here with your people, otherwise you will suffer when His Majesty investigates. As for Prime Minister Xu, I have obtained definite evidence to prove that he was framed by your Liu family. What happens next, Lord Liu, depends on your attitude now."

Mo Mingkong said this naturally because he wanted to make the whole muddy water more and more muddy, so as to roast the Emperor of Dayong in a frying pan and make the entire Dayong Dynasty even more precarious.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mo Mingkong finished speaking, Liu Jiangyan was stunned. He did not expect that Mo Mingkong had such ability.

When Liu Jiangyan realized that today would not end well and was about to leave in disgrace, Mo Mingkong suddenly turned to face Emperor Yong and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to end this farce. As for Liu Nishang, let's deal with her according to your majesty's previous order."

Emperor Dayong nodded, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he did not listen to the slander and almost provoked Mo Mingkong.

Emperor Dayong immediately sent people to take the sword from Liu Jiangyan's hand. After being poisoned by the powder, the old ministers also reacted and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The turmoil of forcing the emperor to abdicate was thus quelled, but the fighting in the palace did not seem to have stopped...

Liu Nishang's father and the old ministers who participated in the incident were taken to the Heavenly Prison by His Majesty to await trial. Liu Nishang herself was stripped of her title of noble lady and was dragged into the cold palace by palace servants with her weak body from the abortion.

Mo Mingkong still felt a breath in his heart, and sent people to the cold palace to take better care of Liu Nishang, and also added a few scary scars on her face. Since he wanted to destroy He'er's appearance, he would use his own face in exchange. Mo Mingkong never thought that he was a kind-hearted person.

The palace coercion incident had just ended, and General Xu, who was still waiting in the front court, came to meet His Majesty with letters and evidence, and directly beat the Liu family to death for deliberately framing the Xu family for treason. Emperor Dayong was overwhelmed by what happened today.

Following Mo Mingkong's suggestion, he actually suffered a loss in silence. Not only did he compensate the Xu family with countless gold and silver treasures, he also directly reinstated Prime Minister Xu. This made Emperor Dayong so angry that he almost suffocated and died on the spot.

The power of the Liu family was completely eliminated by the men of Emperor Dayong and Mo Mingkong. The entire direct branch of the Liu family was exterminated overnight in the entire Dayong Dynasty. Concubine Rou, who was once the most favored concubine in the harem, became an abandoned woman in the cold palace who had lost her child and was disfigured.

When Ting He got the news, she took advantage of the dark and windy night and teleported to the cold palace. She did not kill Liu Nishang outright, but directly deprived her of the system in her body and asked Lao Liu to study it slowly. Before leaving, she also sprinkled medicine powder that would make Liu Nishang gradually sober, and let her stay awake and fend for herself in this cannibalistic harem.

Without Liu Nishang causing trouble in the harem, and without the Liu family's obstruction in the previous dynasty, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

However, Mo Mingkong knew that this was only superficial peace. After all, there was still no news about the previous dynasty that he wanted to find out.

In this turbulent palace, the real struggle has just begun.

Meanwhile, Liu Nishang gradually regains consciousness in the cold palace. She discovers that her appearance has been destroyed and her family has suffered a catastrophic disaster. She vows to take revenge and take back everything that belongs to her. So, she begins to plan a more sinister conspiracy...

After Liu Nishang found that the system was completely useless, she cursed for half an hour. When she found that it had no effect, she came up with another idea. She used the reward pills left by the system that she had saved at the beginning to secretly heal her body. However, the wound on her face still left scars. Even the maid who served her was sarcastic to her. She was so angry that she killed the maid.

Then she secretly went in and out of the harem as a maid. After learning that His Majesty was punishing the Liu family, she became fond of a newly appointed beauty in the harem. As the weather was hot and humid recently, there was not enough ice in the palace, and the beauty's rank was too low to get much ice, so she was acting like a spoiled brat in the palace.

Liu Nishang had modern knowledge, so she wanted to get close to this beauty and use her to her advantage. She completed her own task first. Even if there were no system tasks, she still had to do it. After all, dominating the harem was not only a task assigned to her by the system, but also her own wish.

Liu Nishang secretly went to the imperial pharmacy to get saltpeter and other items, but was rejected by the imperial physician. Since she could not get the medicine from the imperial pharmacy, she did not get discouraged. She remembered the ancient TV dramas she had watched and remembered that the white crystals grown in the toilets were also saltpeter, and could be used to make ice. No matter how reluctant she was, she covered her nose and went to the toilet herself. When no one was paying attention, she stole half a bucket of white crystals.
