Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

However, Mu Xin Nuan overestimated Princess Zhao Yang's intelligence.

The next morning, before the Emperor had finished his morning court session, Princess Zhaoyang, accompanied by her husband Luo, went to Chengqian Palace.

However, Chengqian Palace was the emperor's palace, so naturally not just anyone could enter. Even Princess Zhaoyang had to wait outside the palace for the emperor's decree.

If it weren't for the fact that the Empress was Mu Xin Nuan, even if the Empress came to pay her respects to the Emperor, she would have to wait outside the palace for his decree. If the Emperor refused to summon her, there would be nothing she could do.

Mu Xin Nuan had only been up for a short while when she glanced at Duanmu Zong Yao, who had just arrived, and said, "Tell them that I haven't gotten up yet and ask them to wait at Chaoyang Palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

Duanmu Zongyao blinked. "Mother, you clearly got up."

Although Duanmu Zongyao can speak now, his speech is still unclear, and he can't say too much at a time.

"Yao'er, be good. Your mother's measures are just a temporary one. You haven't had breakfast yet. If you don't eat properly, you might not grow tall."

Duanmu Zongyao nodded as if he understood, "Yes, Mother."

"Good child, there are some things you don't understand now, but you will understand when you grow up. I already knew why your aunt and uncle came today. But there are some things that I can't interfere with, do you understand?"

Duanmu Zongyao is just a young man, how could he possibly understand?

Mu Xin Nuan chuckled softly, "I was too impatient. If Zong Hua were here, he might understand. Here, have some porridge before you continue eating your steamed buns."

"Mother, eat." Duanmu Zongyao held up the steamed bun in his hand towards Mu Xinnuan.

Mu Xin Nuan was happy and took a small bite herself. "Good girl, eat up."

"Your Majesty, it is not advisable to keep Princess Zhaoyang waiting for too long. If the Emperor returns from the morning court soon, I'm afraid Princess Zhaoyang will start making a fuss again."

After listening to Aunt Fang's advice, Mu Xin Nuan's heart sank. Duanmu Chu Ze had been very busy lately because of the rebel army, and he naturally could not let his guard down.

Even though he had already taken the situation outside under his control, he still couldn't be careless.

At this point, if he were to return to Chengqian Palace, he wouldn't even be able to have a peaceful breakfast, and he would probably feel depressed.

"I understand, Chunyu. You may take the Second Prince to the side hall for a meal."

"Yes, ma'am."

Aunt Fang glanced at it and asked, "Does Your Highness need some more?"

"No, His Majesty has been in a bad mood lately. After the court session, I will eat with him."

Aunt Fang smiled slightly. The Empress truly understands the Emperor best.

If the Empress can dine with the Emperor, then the Emperor will surely eat more.

"Please invite Princess Zhaoyang and Consort Luo in."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Princess Zhaoyang and Consort Luo arrived at the main hall, Mu Xin Nuan had just settled into her seat on the phoenix throne.

"Greetings to the Queen."

Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "No need for formalities, please rise. Someone, please bring a seat."

"Your Majesty, you probably already know why I've come today, don't you?"

Mu Xin Nuan nodded. "I guessed it, but I still maintain that women in the harem should not interfere in politics. I advise my elder sister not to put me in a difficult position, and not to bother the Empress Dowager with this matter."

Princess Zhaoyang's expression changed; she understood that Mu Xinnuan's words were actually a warning to her.

"Your Majesty, I truly have no other choice. The Luo family has suffered such a terrible fate; how can I, as a princess, possibly cope? After all, I am a member of the Luo family; I cannot simply stand by and watch them perish, can I?"

Mu Xin Nuan's eyes darkened. "Where did the princess hear this news? How come I didn't know that the Emperor was actually going to issue an edict to execute him?"

Princess Zhaoyang was taken aback, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was just using an analogy."

"Your Majesty, you are also a member of the royal family. You know very well what's going on. Why waste your time here? If it were something like murder or arson, perhaps the Emperor would forgive him. But the Marquis of Anning is guilty of treason! He himself has admitted it. Your Majesty, I advise you to go back and rest as soon as possible."

The Imperial Son-in-Law's face paled slightly. "No! Impossible! How could my elder brother possibly rebel? Please, Your Majesty, persuade the Emperor that there must be more to this story."

"I will not inquire into this matter, nor will I question the Emperor further. Since the Marquis of Anning has confessed his guilt, do you really expect the Emperor to release him unscathed? If so, does that mean that anyone who plots rebellion in the future can be pardoned without punishment?"

The Imperial Son-in-Law looked embarrassed. "Your Majesty, I dare not. I only think that my elder brother has always been law-abiding and would never do such a disloyal thing. I beg Your Majesty to persuade the Emperor to investigate further."

“If that’s what you say, Consort Luo, then I can be somewhat understanding. It’s just a pity that there are witnesses and physical evidence to prove this. Moreover, I’ve heard that even the mutiny of the former troops in Xingzhou was related to Marquis Anning. Do you think that this one thing alone is not enough to take Marquis Anning’s life?”

Prince Consort Luo was completely stunned.

Princess Zhaoyang, however, opened her mouth slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

The Xingzhou mutiny was actually related to the eldest brother-in-law?

God!

If that's the case, then the elder brother-in-law will certainly not escape the death penalty.

"Your Majesty, is what you say true?"

Mu Xin Nuan glanced at her, "Whether it's true or not, you can send Consort Luo to the imperial prison. With his status as a consort, it shouldn't be difficult for him to see Marquis Anning."

"Then, even if the Marquis of Anning's crimes are unforgivable, could Your Majesty please show mercy and spare his family from death?"

Prince Consort Luo immediately snapped out of his daze, "Yes, my sister-in-law and the children are innocent, aren't they?"

"Innocent? You might as well go and look up the laws of my Great Yong Dynasty yourselves. Can a traitor's family be spared?"

Mu Xin Nuan's voice suddenly turned cold. How could they possibly make such a big decision?

Princess Zhaoyang knew that Mu Xinnuan was somewhat annoyed.

But she was, after all, a princess of the royal family. Even if she couldn't protect Marquis Anning, she had to protect his children, right? She couldn't let the lineage of Marquis Anning die out!

"Your Majesty, you are a woman too. Can't you spare my two nephews for the sake of these poor children?"

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head and sneered, "Your two nephews, even if the Emperor doesn't issue an edict to kill them, they wouldn't survive on their own. Don't you know that they're both crippled long ago?"

The Imperial Son-in-Law Luo was immediately dumbfounded. His nephew was ruined?

What does that mean? How did he become useless? How come his uncle didn't know?

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
