I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Moreover, her look of certainty that she couldn't do anything to her was really annoying!

She is just a despised country girl, what is there to be proud of! She even dares to make a fuss about the marriage! She came back from such a poor and remote place like Cangzhou, she must not know about the past of Brother Ling Wang, and she is still dreaming of climbing up the social ladder!

So, she blurted out, "Do you think an arranged marriage is a good thing? Do you know how many women have been engaged to Prince Ling before, and all of them died tragically before the wedding? What my brother gave you is not an imperial decree, but a death warrant! You don't have many days left to live, so you should go back and think about how to die, so that you can feel more comfortable!"

She thought she could see Mu Qingyan's panic-stricken expression, but she didn't.

There was even mockery and sarcasm on that face.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess said that I don't have many days left to live, so why are you rushing to make things difficult for me? If I really die, maybe my soul will come back to seek revenge... What if I find the wrong person and find Her Royal Highness the Princess? By then, I will be dead and become a wronged spirit. Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to kill me, she won't be able to see or touch me, right?"

Princess Yunxi subconsciously shrank back upon hearing this, and raised her chin in an attempt to remain calm, "You, what nonsense are you talking about! Where, where are the wronged souls..."

In her previous life, when Mu Qingyan was born, her uncle, who was a Taoist priest, said that she had a bad fate and would easily attract unclean things. She did often see those things without actual form.

Also because of attracting Yin, the body becomes weak and sickly.

Fearing that she would die young, her parents sent her to the Yuqing Temple on Qingfeng Mountain to practice Buddhism with her uncle. She did not leave the mountain until she was an adult and ready to inherit the family business.

But in broad daylight, of course she couldn't see those so-called dirty things. She just saw that Princess Yunxi was domineering and wanted to scare her and teach her a lesson.

Don’t think that just because you are a princess you are so powerful that you can kill anyone you want!

If the royal family members are not worthy of their positions, why would the people love and respect them?

"Your Highness, the Princess, you also know that I have been exiled since I was young, so I have met many people, including masters who are proficient in Maoshan magic. In this era, everything is based on cause and effect. If you do too many bad things, you will suffer retribution... That, I am not talking about the princess... I am, giving you an example..."

At the end of her speech, she pretended to be innocent and lowered her head.

Princess Yunxi was frightened and angry, she raised her hand and wanted to go forward and call her.

"stop!"

When everyone heard this majestic voice, they turned around to see the person and knelt down to pay their respects, "Your Majesty..."

Princess Yunxi didn't have to kneel, but she still had to salute.

"Brother Emperor..."

Mu Qingyan bowed and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Majesty..."

Of course Yuzhan had to follow her master in paying respects, but this girl was too honest and timid. The first time she met the emperor, she actually knelt down. The hard floor made her knees numb, but she dared not move.

Emperor Jianning raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.

Mu Qingyan stood up straight, and Yuzhan could stand up with her.

Emperor Jianning looked at Princess Yunxi and said, "My sister just said that what I gave Miss Mu was not an imperial decree, but a death warrant?"

Princess Yunxi's heart trembled, and she knelt down quickly, "I have spoken out of turn, please forgive me, my emperor..." No matter what she thought in her heart, she could not bring this matter up in the open. She knew that she had violated the rules and was terrified. Who would have thought that His Majesty was standing behind her and eavesdropping!

Emperor Jianning was intimidating without being angry. He only glanced at her, then looked away and said to the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and leading the way, "If I remember correctly, you don't need to pass by here when you enter the palace from Xihua Gate to Shouxiang Palace."

These words made the eunuch kneeling on the ground tremble like a sieve. "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I made a mistake for a moment. It was not intentional..."

Even if someone instructed him to do this, he couldn't say it out loud. Telling it out loud would only make him die faster.

Princess Yunxi, who was arrogant just now, was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw the emperor, and dared not say a word. Now she was kneeling, and Emperor Jianning did not let her get up, so she did not dare to get up. It was pitiful that such a dignified princess had to kneel! This was all thanks to Mu Qingyan, a country bumpkin!

"Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then there is no need to speak. Wang Quan, send him to the Inner Court."

"Yes!" Wang Quan waved his hand and asked his men to drag him away.

The young eunuch was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Wait!" Mu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak.

Emperor Jianning looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Mu Qingyan leaned forward slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the streets and alleys of the entire capital are probably not as big as this palace. It is normal for people to get lost. Moreover, if he hadn't led me astray, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the blessing of seeing the emperor!"

"Hahaha...you are an interesting girl. It seems that I did not make a mistake in granting you this marriage. Ah Ye is a quiet and indifferent person by nature. With an interesting princess like you, life won't be boring."

The smile on Emperor Jianning's face was soon replaced by seriousness. He looked at the young eunuch and said, "Since Miss Mu has begged for mercy, I will spare you today. You will be fined three months' salary and ten disciplinary rods! Get out!"

The young eunuch was saved and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

He looked at Mu Qingyan deeply and left quickly.

"Let's go. I'll follow you to Shouxiang Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

He didn't let Princess Yunxi get up.

But the people around her were smart and quietly reported the news.

When Emperor Jianning brought Mu Qingyan to Shouxiang Palace, Mu Ruge had already left, and Empress Dowager Lan's face was obviously not looking good. The emperor actually made the eldest princess kneel for an insignificant court lady. This was a slap in the face of the empress dowager!

Before the emperor could even salute, she began to speak coldly, "Does the emperor still have a mother like me in his heart?"

Emperor Jianning was not annoyed, and sat down without bowing, "What are you saying, mother? Are you blaming me for not visiting you every morning and evening? The government affairs of the previous dynasty were complicated, and it was rare for me to have time, so I am here now, right?"

He knew why the Queen Mother was angry, but he just ignored her. Queen Mother Lan didn't want to see him playing Tai Chi, so she had to say, "You made Yunxi kneel in the imperial garden, with palace servants coming and going. Where can you let her, the eldest princess, face? Besides, she just ridiculed a servant girl. What's the big deal? Is a servant girl more important than the reputation of the royal family?"

Emperor Jianning's face also turned cold. "What you said is not right, mother. If the ministers did not work hard and fulfill their responsibilities, the government would be in chaos. If the ministers were loyal to the country, but their families were bullied and I stood by and watched, it would make the ministers feel disheartened. Moreover, the person who came to deliver the message probably did not explain to mother clearly why I was angry with Yunxi."
