Origin System, I have a barren mountain

"Exactly, Song Song is clearly up to no good. If the Imperial Preceptor's female disciple is a monster, is it because Song Song sees everything as dirty and is arbitrarily suspecting Lord Cheng?"

The onlookers were talking amongst themselves, and no one believed Song Song's words.

Cheng Yunmo was initially worried that people would doubt her, or even think she was a monster, and attack her.

Unexpectedly, everyone began to doubt Song Song's words and sided with her in everything they said.

Cheng Yunmo did not feel relieved; instead, he felt an unprecedented heaviness in his heart. If Song Song were the powerful one today, then he would be the loser and might be killed by these people.

"Alright, everyone, stop talking nonsense."

When Lord Liu came out, he didn't know what had happened at first. It wasn't until his servant told him what had happened that he quickly spoke to the onlookers.

Regardless of anything else, he knew exactly what kind of person Lord Cheng was.

Lady Cheng dislikes people discussing her identity the most. In fact, Lord Liu understands that if Lady Cheng were in her current position, she wouldn't have revealed her identity unless she genuinely wanted these people to live.

"Deyunzi, what are you still watching here for?"

Lord Liu frowned and looked to the side, where Deyunzi was clearly too shocked to react to the current situation.

I originally thought that Yunzi was quite disrespectable in big situations, but now she's doing something like this.

They had no idea where they had found this woman, who had somehow caused such a huge mess.

Is it only when Lord Cheng is treated like a monster that this woman will be satisfied?

Deyunzi quickly realized what was happening and grabbed Song Song.

"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll assume you're a wolf in sheep's clothing, here to deliberately harm Lord Cheng," Deyunzi said.

At this moment, Song Song could not believe that Deyunzi, who had always been obedient to him, was now speaking to him in such a tone.

No wonder that mysterious man said that Deyunzi's attitude towards the female disciple of the Imperial Preceptor was extraordinary and not an ordinary relationship. Now it seems that what the mysterious man said was not false at all.

"Good, very good. So you really do have an extraordinary relationship with her. I knew it! What female disciple? This female disciple is clearly a monster. She has no warmth in her body. How can a living person be like a dead person?"

Cheng Yunmo's eyes showed a hint of hurt, but even more so, confusion.

She did tell him, she still told him.

Deyunzi originally thought that her relationship with Song Song would not lead to this, but knowing full well that it was a matter of self-interest, she still brought up such a conflicting matter, which greatly affected her.

However, Song Song still said that, faced with this situation, even if De Yunzi did not suspect anything, he would suspect that Song Song was actually sent by the Empress Dowager, just to teach Lord Cheng a lesson and leave the Emperor isolated and helpless.

"The Emperor has been incredibly kind to me, Song Song, we're finished."

As Deyunzi spoke, he pulled out a dagger. In this chaotic world, he had survived to this day with only a dagger.

So when he felt that things were already a foregone conclusion, he couldn't bear it and walked to Song Song's side, ready to die together with her.

Song Song never imagined that the man she loved so much would turn against her because of someone else, and even try to kill her. She stared at the dagger without flinching.

However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded Lord Liu and his entourage.

A group of people surrounded them tightly, and the rest of the onlookers, seeing that things were not going well, quickly fled.

At this moment, everyone realized that this was the Empress Dowager's person.

Lord Liu had dealt with the Empress Dowager before, and he could tell who she was just by looking at the head of the guards.

Song Song was rescued by the Empress Dowager's men, who seized Yunzi's dagger.

"What a heartless man. Song Song is really making a mistake by following a man like you."

One of the Empress Dowager's men couldn't help but speak up.

De Yunzi's face was ashen. He hadn't expected that his attempt to punish Song Song would also fail, and now the Empress Dowager's people were surrounding him.

"Lord Cheng, I'm so sorry," Deyunzi said, kneeling down in utter despair.

Lord Liu gritted his teeth in hatred. If he had known he would end up like this, he would never have let Yunzi stay by Lord Cheng's side.

Without Deyunzi, this disaster wouldn't have happened. The Empress Dowager herself had been keeping an eye on him.

I was afraid that the Empress Dowager's people would reach even Lord Cheng's side. I never expected that he would be surrounded like this. I don't even know what Deyunzi has done this time.

Cheng Yunmo had already deeply regretted it when Song Song appeared.

Now that things have come to this point, she feels incredibly foolish, as if she doesn't even know how to use people properly.

Cheng Yunmo has caused such a huge crisis for Lord Liu. When has Lord Liu ever been so negligent?

It must be because I let Deyunzi stay, and the people around Lord Liu sometimes listen to Deyunzi, which led to such serious consequences today.

"Guards! Arrest this female disciple, Lady Cheng, who is impersonating the Imperial Preceptor!" The Empress Dowager's men gave the order, commanding that Cheng Yunmo be arrested.

Lord Liu's face was extremely ugly, knowing that even the Empress Dowager's people wouldn't listen to what he was saying.

"Although you are the Empress Dowager's people, don't forget that Lord Cheng is capable of ensuring the survival of the people here. Do you really only listen to the Empress Dowager and disregard everything else?"

Lord Liu knew there was no other way but to try to persuade them to be lenient with Lord Cheng, not to make things difficult for her, and certainly not to harm her.

At this moment, it was noticed that the two guards sent by the Emperor were severely injured. They were on the verge of death when the Empress Dowager's people threw them on the ground. Their bodies were covered in blood, and anyone who saw them would feel sorry for them.

When Lord Liu saw these two men, his heart finally gave up. He knew that the Empress Dowager's people wouldn't be so easily persuaded by him in just a few words.

Lord Liu knelt down and pleaded, "How could you do this..."

"We are the Empress Dowager's people, so of course we can do whatever we want. But I forgot to tell you, Lord Liu, there are some things you may not understand. In the Empress Dowager's eyes, someone with the abilities of Lord Cheng is a worthless fellow."

"You, what did you say?"

Lord Liu could not believe that these words came from the Empress Dowager's person.

"The Empress Dowager wants many people more capable than Lord Cheng. Moreover, the Empress Dowager has already given the order, and there is a lot of grain being sent over here. There is no need for this monster to provide any grain. Who knows what sinister intentions she may have."
