Zhong Ran said generously, "Since you are the emperor and those two are your sons, I won't ask you to punish them. But I was hurt by them, so I have to pay compensation, right?"

"You are their father. It's not too much to ask them to compensate me, or for you to compensate me on their behalf."

Eunuch Gui's heart was beating wildly.

I'm really going to get sick from being scared by this lady today.

The person in front of you is the emperor, and not only do you not use a respectful title, but you also keep calling him "you". Are you trying to...

He didn't dare to think about what happened next.

The key point is that this lady cut off the King of Yan's arm, but still wanted the King of Yan to compensate her? How could such a thing be justified?

"As for those two princesses? Your Majesty, although this may not be pleasant, I sincerely suggest that you thoroughly investigate whether they are your biological daughters."

"If not, then they are bastards whose biological fathers are unknown. Their biological mothers must also be dealt with, right? I'm just helping you teach them a lesson. Isn't that too much?"

"If so, a daughter like that would be a disgrace to you and the royal family. I suggest you stop recognizing her."

"Isn't there a saying that means being demoted to the status of a commoner?"

"You...you..." The queen pointed at her, unable to utter a complete sentence, and fainted from anger.

Yipin was in a similar situation. She was shaking violently all over, and finally her eyes rolled back and she fainted from anger.

Even the Prime Minister couldn't bear it, his eyes rolled back and he fainted from anger.

Hearing the servants' exclamations, Zhong Ran turned his head and glanced twice, muttering, "I didn't touch them, why did they faint? Are they pretending?"

With these words, the screams of several maids and palace servants were so frightened that they got stuck in their throats, unable to come out.

Pretending to faint in front of the Emperor? That's a crime of deceiving the Emperor!

The emperor had no choice but to wave his hand and have the three unconscious people sent away to be examined by the imperial physician.

He looked at Zhong Ran with an extremely complicated expression.

For a long time, he didn't say a word.

I was angry with her.

Zhong Ran was getting impatient and looked around. Finally, his eyes fixed on the jade seal on the table in front of the emperor, which was emitting spiritual energy.

Perhaps due to the emperor's purple aura, the spiritual energy emanating from it was faintly shrouded in purple.

If she could absorb the spiritual energy on it, she would definitely have to take fewer pills.

However, before she could say anything, Mu Jinning stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Father probably isn't in the mood right now, so I'll take Ranran out of the palace first."

After saying that, he stepped forward and took her hand, wanting to take her out of the palace.

Zhong Ran refused: "The emperor hasn't compensated me yet."

Mu Jinning held her hand tightly, with a faint smile in his voice: "Father will have someone send it to you."

Zhong Ran was half-pulled, half-dragged out of the hall. The people left inside were all stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

What did they see? Prince Ning, he actually spoke for Zhong Ran?

That’s not the main point. The main point is that King Ning actually held Zhong Ran’s hand.

The key point is, that unruly girl actually let him take her away obediently?

These two people...why do they feel like they are full of big news?

Concubine Xiao slowly withdrew her gaze, with confusion between her brows.

She had made arrangements for King Cheng's flower-viewing banquet today, intending to trick Zhong Ran into King Yan's bed, push her to him, and take the opportunity to cancel her son's marriage.

The outcome of the incident was completely unexpected, and the person she arranged probably died in the womb before he had a chance to carry out the plan.

Even so, she thought that under today's circumstances, the engagement between the two could be called off.

Her purpose was to help her son break off the engagement and then replace it with a relative who was good-looking and could help Prince Ning.

But everything that happened today was completely beyond her expectations.

Let’s first talk about Zhong Ran’s words and actions just now. Why did she look like she felt relieved?

Especially the scene where the queen and the prime minister, father and daughter, both fainted from anger at her, made her feel inexplicably refreshed.

Besides, just now, her son held Zhong Ran's hand.

You know, her son is already 22 years old and still hasn't married. He doesn't even have a concubine in the house. God knows how worried she is that he doesn't want to get married?

She didn't know how many women she had arranged for him, but he didn't like any of them.

But now, he took the initiative to hold Zhong Ran's hand.

She had mixed feelings.

As a mother, she was happy that her son was willing to get married.

However, the target was Zhong Ran, and she couldn't be happy just based on the scary red spot on her face.

Could it be that her son has been unwilling to get married for all these years not because he doesn't like her, but because he likes different things?

He likes the type like Zhong Ran who has scary red spots on his face?

Why is her son's aesthetic taste so weird?

Zhong Ran didn't care what those people were feeling. She turned her head to look at King Ning beside her and struggled to break free from his hand.

But he was no less powerful than she was, and she struggled for a while but couldn't break free.

"Let me go. We are still in the palace and there are so many people watching us."

Mu Jinning chuckled and said, "Look, who dares to look?"

Zhong Ran looked up, and sure enough, the palace maids, eunuchs, guards, etc. whom they met on the road quickly lowered their heads when they saw them from afar. No one dared to look up at them.

"My bad reputation spread so quickly?"

Mu Jinning curled the corners of his lips and explained softly, "It's not that your reputation spread so quickly, but that my reputation made them afraid to look directly at me."

Zhong Ran became interested. Although they were engaged, she would not have acknowledged him if he was not the eldest senior brother.

He had neither the mood nor the time to inquire about Prince Ning's reputation or habits.

Hearing his words, he asked curiously, "What's your vicious reputation?"

"It's not really a bad reputation, it's just that I used to be a bit ruthless in killing."

The original King Ning was actually notorious for his cruelty. He earned his reputation on the battlefield, making the enemy countries tremble.

The original owner seldom returned to Beijing before, but every time he did, he would severely punish anyone who dared to offend him, no matter who you were.

That's why it got some bad reputation.

Zhong Ran curled his lips and changed the subject: "Why didn't you let me ask for compensation? I think the jade on your father's desk is very good."

Mu Jinning couldn't help but raise her hand and gently scratched her nose, chuckling, "You can't have that thing. It's the imperial seal, a symbol of power, and the inheritance of the throne."

"If you take it, something bad will happen."

"So, that thing will be passed on to you in the future?" Zhong Ran touched his nose and said generously: "Since it's yours, I won't take it."

Mu Jinning stopped and looked into her eyes, then said softly, "Ranran wants me to be the emperor?"

He knew she didn't understand a lot of this, so he explained it to her carefully...
