Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 128

It is ink-rich rose.

He has always been like this, moving freely throughout the inner palace as if he were at home, and he doesn't even need to announce his presence to the emperor.

Mo Chonggui glanced at the tense crowd, then his gaze swept over Shen Lingjun kneeling on the ground, before turning to the emperor, and asked casually:

"Your Majesty, what has happened? I think I overheard someone outside using dirty tricks against you?"

The emperor, somewhat embarrassed, said, "It's nothing... it's just that Madam Shen from the Yongning Marquis's residence sprinkled some aphrodisiac on herself..."

The emperor had great favor with Mo Chonggui and there was nothing he couldn't tell him.

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhonggui raised an eyebrow and interjected, "Spring Fragrance?"

Seeing that his expression was unusual, the emperor asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Mo Chonggui laughed and said, "No, it's not some dirty trick, it's just a misunderstanding. The Spring View Fragrance on Madam Shen must have been accidentally sprinkled on her by my men."

He pointed to Ye Huaichi, who had come with him: "The Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs found a packet of Spring View Incense left over from the previous dynasty in the palace. Eunuch Ye was preparing to take it out of the palace when he encountered Madam Shen on the way. The old paper bag containing the Spring View Incense broke, and the powder accidentally spilled out, presumably getting on Madam Shen. She is a woman, so she didn't notice anything unusual."

The emperor suddenly realized, "I knew something was off! Now I know!"

The emperor always believed whatever Mo Chonggui said, and besides, he himself didn't really believe that Shen Lingjun would do such a thing; it was too incongruous.

Mo Zhonggui gave him a way out, and of course he took it immediately.

The emperor said to Shen Lingjun, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, you can get up now. Just be more careful in the future."

Liu Manman, standing to the side, watched as Shen Lingjun, who was about to be punished, miraculously escaped unscathed. Her face contorted with rage.

What's going on?! Why would Mo Zhonggui help Shen Lingjun lie and get away with it?!

Liu Manman was truly unwilling to accept this, and couldn't help but interject, "Your Majesty, isn't this all too much of a coincidence..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Zhonggui coldly interrupted her.

Are you questioning what I've said?

Liu Manman was immediately jolted awake, only then realizing with horror that Mo Zhonggui was someone she couldn't afford to offend!

But before she could say anything, the emperor spoke angrily:

"Chong Gui has already explained the situation. Are you implying he's talking nonsense? How dare you!"

With that, the emperor decisively ordered: "Slap yourself!"

Liu Manman's face turned deathly pale as she stared at the emperor in disbelief!

Before Mo Zhonggui could speak, the emperor punished her first!

This tyrannical and incompetent emperor who favored eunuchs!

When the emperor saw that Liu Manman was still standing there without moving, he became even angrier: "What, are you going to disobey the imperial decree?"

The emperor was furious. Even if Liu Manman cursed him a thousand or ten thousand times in her heart, she knew the consequences. She had no choice but to grit her teeth, endure the immense humiliation, kneel down, and begin to slap herself.

He hit himself, not daring to be perfunctory, for fear that the emperor and Mo Chonggui would become even angrier. He used great force with each blow, making a loud slapping sound.

Liu Manman felt extremely humiliated. She was being punished in such a shameful way in front of Shen Lingjun!

Shen Lingjun should have been the one punished! But it was her who was punished instead!
