The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Brother, please save the prince consort!" Mu Wan was seen holding her sleeves and gently wiping the corners of her eyes, but in fact there was not even a drop of tears. However, she pretended to be pitiful and heartbroken, sobbing while secretly peeking at the emperor sitting behind the desk through the gap in her sleeves.

"Royal brother, you don't know! Those extremely hateful guards are simply too much! They broke into my princess's mansion with great momentum and started smashing things without saying a word. Everything in the mansion was smashed to pieces and it was a mess. Moreover, they completely ignored right and wrong and forcibly took the prince consort away without saying a word." At this point, Mu Wan cried even more sadly, and her mournful cry echoed in the huge Zixiao Palace, as if the entire palace was immersed in her endless sorrow.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu..." Mu Wan cried louder and louder, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart through crying. At this time, Mu Jiurui, who was sitting above, frowned and looked helpless. He really couldn't stand the deafening crying. He felt as if his head was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and it hurt.

His well-trained and disciplined guards were always in charge of the emperor's younger brother. Not only were they well-equipped, but they were also extremely strict in their daily management. Every soldier had to go through layers of selection and rigorous training before they were selected. They knew that they had a heavy responsibility and would never dare to slack off or indulge themselves.

Therefore, such lawless acts as wanton smashing and looting could not possibly have come from this team. I think the emperor's sister must have exaggerated. Perhaps she deliberately made the matter so serious to attract his attention for the matter of the prince consort. But in any case, it is certain that the imperial guards would never do such a thing.

Finally, Mu Jiurui, who could no longer bear it, slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Enough! Stop crying! You are giving me a headache! If you continue crying, I will punish you!" Hearing the emperor's scolding, Mu Wan stopped crying instantly. But she still pretended to be wronged, looking at the emperor with tears in her eyes. Her delicate and helpless expression made people feel pity.

"Brother, the consort must be wronged. How can you put the consort in the prison? The environment there is terrible. How can the consort endure it with his weak body?" When Mu Wan first fell in love with Xiao Jingyan, he was still a poor scholar. He was chosen by Mu Wan because he won the top prize in the imperial examination! So the reason why he was weak was because Xiao Jingyan was indeed a scholar who was weak and powerless.

"How do you know he is innocent?" Mu Jiurui slowly put down the pen in his hand, staring at the person in front of him calmly and deeply. If Mu Wan could see the paper on the table, she would probably not shout like that here. The words recorded on the paper were like thunder, recording Xiao Jingyan's heinous crimes over the years - he actually used those innocent children in the Charity Bureau for the officials in the court to enjoy and amuse themselves! Every stroke and every word seemed to carry endless tears and accusations.

"It's just playing with a few lowly people, how can it be so serious? My brother is really too petty! My brother, you should quickly issue an order to let my brother release the prince consort! I will discipline him strictly in the future and never let him set foot in the charity bureau again." Mu Wan didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. She curled her lips nonchalantly, and she didn't feel the slightest guilt for the so-called "fault" in her heart. In her eyes, those poor and helpless children are just insignificant ants, who can be trampled and played with at will, and don't even deserve a trace of sympathy. Because in her distorted values, only those with noble status are qualified to enjoy everything, while ordinary people are born lowly and deserve to be tools for the entertainment of the powerful.

"How dare you act like this? You are simply treating human life as a joke! Let me ask you, how did those innocent children die tragically? And what about those lonely old people who were ruthlessly abandoned by Xiao Jingyan in the wilderness? You know clearly in your heart the numerous crimes committed by Xiao Jingyan, but why do you still turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to them?"

Mu Jiurui's face was filled with anger, his eyes were wide open, veins bulged on his forehead, and he slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.

"You are a princess of the royal family, and all the people in the world are the royal subjects! Don't you know that their lives and deaths are equally important? How can you say such cold and heartless words? Is it that only your own life is precious, and the lives of ordinary people are like grass that can be trampled on at will?"

Mu Wan was frightened by her brother's sudden anger and trembled all over. She subconsciously shrank back. At this moment, she was completely panicked and regretful. She was so careless that she forgot that the person in front of her who was furious was the emperor who was high above and controlled the power of life and death of countless people. He was the noble and awe-inspiring emperor!

"Royal brother, please calm down...I know I was wrong. I just said something without thinking. Please forgive me!" Mu Wan's face was pale and her voice was trembling. Her body shook slightly involuntarily, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

"You should go back first!" Mu Jiurui said with a gloomy face. His majestic voice echoed in the empty Zixiao Palace, as if carrying an unquestionable power. "Wait for the truth of the matter to be found out, and everything will be dealt with according to the law. Remember, you'd better stay in your princess's mansion during this period, and don't try to provoke Chen'er. He has always been fair and strict in his work, and never bends the law for personal gain. This time, it is because you are a princess that I tolerate you a little and give you some face. However, if you are still stubborn and unrepentant, I don't mind removing your title of princess immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Jiurui turned around resolutely and strode away without looking back, leaving Mu Wan with only a cold and resolute back.

Mu Wan stood there blankly, at a loss. Her brother had lost his temper with her and said such harsh words to her. This was unprecedented! Why had the brother who loved and cared for her become so strange now? Her heart instantly sank to the bottom, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.

Tears gradually blurred her eyes, and Mu Wan felt helpless and hopeless. What had the prince consort done to make the emperor so angry? Was it really impossible to save him? Countless questions swirled in her mind, but she could not find the answers.

Finally, Mu Wan dragged her heavy footsteps and slowly walked out of the palace. The sun was setting, and the afterglow cast a long shadow on her lonely figure. At this moment, she was like a candle in the wind, swaying...
