After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

"call out!"

In an instant, a sound of breaking through the air came towards them.

Yuan Yi used his lightness skills to fly behind them and was hit hard by the woman's whip.

The clothes on his upper body were torn apart in an instant, revealing a bloodstain on his back.

Yuan Qing suppressed his anger and stood in front of the woman again. His pupils condensed slightly, emitting a chilling chill. "It seems that you really despise your own long life."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wen Beixu, "Whose daughter is she?"

"Replying to the Concubine, she is the legitimate daughter of the Lord of North City, Mo Zhuzhu."

Upon hearing that it was the imperial concubine from the palace, the people standing at the door immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

Yuan Qing raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. This is not a place to stay for long. Please go back."

Everyone stood up and went downstairs with their heads down.

female?

Toffee?

Which concubine is it?

In the three years since the death of the previous emperor, concubines were not allowed to hold lavish banquets according to the rules, so what was she doing here?

Mo Zhuzhu was furious and blurted out, “If you are the concubine, why are you still eating and drinking in this restaurant?

You are talking nonsense, you are not a queen at all!"

"Please open your eyes and take a good look at the table. Is there anything that violates the rules?" Yuan Qing's voice was a little sharp, "Or do you think that my status as a concubine is just for show?

You say I am disrespectful to the late emperor? Miss Mo, you should take a look at yourself first. I am afraid there is no one in the whole capital who dresses more fancy than you."

Although her tone was cheerful, there was no smile in her eyes.

It won’t be so easy to let go of the person who hurt her.

While Mo Zhuzhu was not paying attention, Yuan Qing snatched her whip and handed it to Hongyu.

"Give her a whip."

Hongyu has some martial arts skills, and most people cannot withstand the strength in her hands.

With a "swish", the whip hit Mo Zhuzhu's lower abdomen, leaving a bloody mark as deep as the one on Yuan Yi's body. She immediately fell to the ground in pain.

"This is a return gift to Miss Mo. As for the rest, I will report it to Your Majesty truthfully tomorrow." Yuan Qing threw the whip back.

She put on a mask and led the rest of the group out of the restaurant.

Wen Beixu was confused from beginning to end.

When did Qing'er become so strong?

She used to be so weak that she needed a maid to help her walk.

Mo Zhuzhu fell to the ground and cried.

Didn’t Dad say that no matter what happens, Brother Beixu will protect her?

But why has he been siding with that concubine today?

What should she do...

Wen Beixu looked down at Mo Zhuzhu and could only take her back to his house first.

The war in North City still needs the support of the Lord of North City.

Mo Zhuzhu...he should try to protect her as much as possible...

The next day, someone came from the palace and said that they wanted to summon Yuan Qing to the palace for something.

She only took Yuan Yi and Hong Yu with her and walked leisurely towards the capital.

Eunuch Shun had been waiting at the palace gate, eagerly awaiting someone's arrival.

What happened yesterday wasn’t a big deal.

The key point is that the border of North City is unstable now, and Your Majesty really does not want to break up with the Lord of North City at this critical moment.

He could only step forward to act as a peacemaker and invite the Queen Dowager to the palace so that the two could shake hands and make peace.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has been waiting for you." Eunuch Shun stepped forward and showed his stereotyped smile.

"Who is in the palace?" Yuan Qing asked.

The implication was that he wanted to ask Eunuch Shun about the situation in the palace.

Eunuch Shun also understood, and immediately whispered to her, "Except for Lord Bei who came yesterday night, the rest are His Majesty, Miss Mo, and the Regent, who are chatting and drinking in the palace."

Yuan Qing also did some special homework on this yesterday.

This northern city is located at the junction of the Yuan, Liang and Nan kingdoms. It has fertile land and developed commerce. It has always been a battleground for military strategists, and therefore it was also a border town where wars were constant during the Yuan Dynasty.

Many generals of the Yuan Dynasty died in this place.

At first, Mo Laosi was just a bandit who robbed houses and made a living in this despicable way.

In order to survive, many people in North City had to work for him and join the camp.

As time went on, it gradually developed into a major concern for the imperial court.

Later, taking advantage of the civil strife in the imperial court during the transition of imperial power, the Mo family united with a group of foreigners and completely turned Beicheng into their own power, providing a convenient channel for foreigners to attack the imperial court.

Wen Chengyu has just ascended the throne and the position is still unstable, so this man named Mo can only be appeased and not offended.

After the external threat is resolved, we can then close the door and beat the dog that bites people at home.

He is just a bully who exploits the people and colludes with outsiders. It is really a waste of the name Mo Si. No wonder he could raise Mo Zhuzhu to have such an arrogant character.

"This Concubine Qing doesn't take me seriously, right? I won't wait any longer, Zhuzhu, follow daddy!"

As soon as she reached the entrance of the palace, she heard an arrogant voice coming from inside.

"I'm sorry to have kept City Lord Mo waiting for so long. It's my fault."

Yuan Qing walked into the hall with a smile on his face. Where was the terrifying aura from yesterday?

Mo Si’s eyes widened as he stared.

The women in the capital are just different. Where had he ever seen a young lady of this appearance in the border town?

It’s a pity that she is the old emperor’s woman.

Yuan Qing's hair stood on end when he was stared at, as if he was being harassed by a vicious wolf, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

She now actually felt that the title of the late emperor's concubine was quite useful.

Now that I have the identity of a concubine, at least I can avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Wen Chengyu smiled and said, "Please sit down."

The seat assigned to her was facing Mo Si and his daughter.

This made it convenient for Mr. Mo to stare at her openly.

Although Yuan Qing felt uncomfortable, she still sat down according to the rules for the sake of Wen Chengyu's plan.

Hongyu knelt beside him and served him.

"I've learned about what happened yesterday, and it was indeed a misunderstanding." Wen Chengyu said.

After finishing the opening words, the next sentence turned to Yuan Qing, "Why didn't you bring any entourage or guards with you when you went out yesterday? You only brought two people with you. No wonder Miss Mo made the mistake."

Although every word Wen Chengyu said was directed at Yuan Qing, anyone with a discerning eye could tell the closeness and distance between them and judge what was good and what was right.

You are a concubine. Shouldn't you have hundreds of servants and travel in a sedan chair to show your status?

Wearing plain clothes, who can tell who you are?

How can they know who you are if they have never seen you?

Yuan Qing raised the corners of his lips when he heard this, "Actually, An'er was making a fuss yesterday and wanted to eat candied haws, so I had to disguise myself and bring two people with him to go out and relax. I didn't want to alarm other people."

Having said this, he looked across at the other side with an apologetic look on his face, "I really didn't expect Miss Mo to pass by there and cause a misunderstanding. It was my fault for not considering it carefully."

Every word Yuan Qing said took the blame on himself.

There was no need for her to get too involved with such a person.

After that whipping yesterday, her anger had largely subsided.

Besides, even if she didn't take action, the Mo father and daughter wouldn't be able to remain arrogant for long.

When Wen Chengyu has time, the first thing he has to deal with is the cancer Mo Si.

The series of evil deeds committed by the North City Wolf Den have already been recorded in great detail. When the time comes, he will definitely not show mercy.
