The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Consort De and the Fifth Prince never dreamed that it would be the Empress who would speak up for them and save them from this predicament. Consort De looked at the Empress with gratitude in her eyes, and the Fifth Prince also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the princes and concubines all know, His Majesty has always respected the Empress. Since the Empress spoke up to help them out of the predicament, Father Emperor will certainly not pursue his inappropriate words any further!

As expected, Nangong Huan looked at him with disdain: "Get out of here and stop making a fool of yourself!"

Consort De and Nangong Yu, however, felt as if they had been granted a pardon: "Thank you, Your Majesty/Thank you, Father Emperor," they bowed and withdrew.

When the Fifth Prince spoke, Mo Liuyun already knew who he was and was afraid that she would choose him as her future husband, so she hurriedly expressed her attitude.

Upon hearing Nangong Huan's words, she stood up from her seat, went to the center of the hall, and bowed to the Emperor and Empress: "Your subject, Mo Liuyun, greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress."

“Princess Pingyang, no need for formalities! Raise your head and come forward so I can see you,” Mu Yuyan said to Mo Liuyun.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Huan looked puzzled. It was rare for his Yan'er to be so interested in another woman. Why was that? He felt that Yan'er's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Mo Liuyun, as if she had seen some delicious food.

Upon hearing the Empress's words, Mo Liuyun took two steps forward, looked up at the Empress on the high platform, and then his eyes widened, his astonishment evident: My goodness! This Empress is just too, too beautiful! How can there be such a stunning woman in the world? But her face seems somewhat familiar, as if he has seen her somewhere before, but he can't quite place it.

Nangong Huan looked at Mo Liuyun with a look of amazement in his eyes, and a smug smile appeared on his lips. His Yan'er was the most beautiful woman in the world, and even women would be amazed by her.

Seeing Mo Liuyun staring intently at her, Mu Yuyan looked at Nangong Huan with a hint of confusion and whispered, "What's wrong with Miss Mo? Did I frighten her?"

Nangong Huan chuckled upon hearing this: "Princess Pingyang, why are you staring at the Empress like that? Is my Empress beautiful?"

Mo Liuyun was still captivated by the Empress's beauty and hadn't realized who was speaking to her. She subconsciously replied, "Beautiful, so beautiful! She's like a fairy from heaven. I've never seen such a beautiful Empress before!"

"Yun'er, you must not be disrespectful to the Empress," Madam Xiao hurriedly said.

Mo Yun then realized her mistake and quickly bowed: "Your Majesty, Empress, please forgive me. Her Majesty's beauty is simply too great; even as a woman, I couldn't help but steal a few glances. I was impolite for a moment!"

Upon hearing Mo Liuyun's words, Nangong Huan not only did not get angry, but instead laughed heartily: "I also think that my Empress is the most beautiful woman in the world. Princess Pingyang is telling the truth, and I will not blame her."

Nangong Li was utterly speechless at his father's audacity. His skin was thicker than the walls of Beili; how could he praise his future daughter-in-law's beauty in front of her? Although his mother was stunningly beautiful, in his eyes Yun'er was the most beautiful, in no way inferior to his mother.

However, Nangong Li was also incredibly troubled at this moment. This lecherous woman not only liked handsome men, but also beautiful women. In the future, he would not only have to guard against men, but also against women, which was truly a headache! Fortunately, there were very few people in Beili whose looks surpassed his and his mother's! Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.

Upon hearing Mo Liuyun's words, the Empress blushed and said, "Princess Pingyang is so innocent and lovely, I like her very much. I just don't know which prince will catch her eye? It's a pity that Prince Qing is not so fortunate."

"Since Empress thinks Princess Pingyang is so outstanding, why not ask His Majesty to grant her a marriage to Prince Pingnan? Wouldn't such a blessing fall on Prince Pingnan? Perhaps if His Highness Prince Pingnan marries the princess, he can break free from his misfortune and be reborn, and die peacefully in his old age, who knows?" Consort Liu was annoyed by the Empress's words, and her words were laced with sarcasm.

As soon as Consort Liu uttered these words, the hall fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop. Consort Liu immediately regretted her words, lamenting her impulsive act. Offending the Empress wasn't so terrible, but who knew what that madman, Prince Pingnan, might do?

"Mother! Be careful what you say!" Nangong Chun hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Nangong Huan's face turned cold; Consort Liu's words were truly malicious. Everyone knew that Mo Liuyun was the ugliest woman in Beili. Though talented, her appearance was lacking. This brat was their and Yan'er's legitimate son, how could he marry a woman even the Prince of Qing disapproved of?

Moreover, no renowned doctor has yet been found to cure the brat's poison. Consort Liu is mocking Prince Pingnan, suggesting that if he wants to change his fate, he could try marrying Mo Ruyun to bring good luck, which might turn misfortune into fortune.

Upon hearing Consort Liu's words, Mo Yunyi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. His Majesty has granted my daughter permission to choose her own husband. How can Your Highness have the right to interfere? Furthermore, although Prince Pingnan was poisoned and injured while fighting for the country, it is not impossible for him to recover completely. Your Highness's words are implied to be a curse upon Prince Pingnan."

At this moment, Nangong Huan's face was filled with a murderous aura. Seeing this, the Duke of Dingguo hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, please forgive me. This old minister believes the words of the Noble Consort and did not intend to curse the Prince of Pingnan! Please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly."

"Oh~ then Duke Dingguo, please explain to me what the Imperial Concubine means?" Nangong Huan said, word by word.

The Duke of Dingguo knelt in the center of the hall, speechless for a moment. Seeing her elderly father kneeling in the center of the hall pleading for her in front of everyone, and listening to Nangong Huan's cold and ruthless questioning, Consort Liu was filled with regret, fearing that she would implicate her family and Prince Qing.

Thinking of this, she knelt down in the main hall with a thud, her face full of fear and tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, I did not mean to be sarcastic, it is just that the Empress said that a prince like Qingtang was not good enough for an ugly woman like Mo Liuyun."

This greatly angered me. As a mother, I understand my actions were inappropriate, even if I spoke rudely, all for the sake of my son's reputation. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness, and my sister, the Empress's forgiveness, please forgive me this time.

Looking at Consort Liu kneeling on the ground in the main hall, Mo Liuyun thought to himself that this woman was indeed a ruthless character. She could bend and stretch! With just a few words, she transformed her cursing of the Prince of Pingnan into a mother's defense of her son!

Sure enough, some women in the hall, being mothers themselves, empathized with the situation. Some of them were even followers of the Duke of Dingguo, and upon hearing this, they stepped forward to plead for mercy!

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine only misspoke. She loves her son dearly. Please be lenient with her."

"Yes, as a mother, I certainly wouldn't allow others to speak ill of my child. Although my words were inappropriate, they were understandable. I beg Your Majesty to be lenient."

As Nangong Huan watched people step forward one after another to plead for Consort Liu in the main hall, he was about to get angry when Mu Yuyan grabbed his hand!

Nangong Huan looked at the Empress with a puzzled expression, but Mu Yuyan smiled slightly at him, leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words. Nangong Huan was shocked upon hearing this, and grasped Mu Yuyan's hand tightly: "Yan'er, is what you say true?" Mu Yuyan nodded, and Nangong Huan looked at Mo Liuyun again, his eyes filled with disbelief! His gaze softened even more!

While everyone was wondering what the Empress had said to His Majesty.

Mu Yuyan spoke up, "I also think that the Imperial Concubine's words make sense, and I really like Princess Pingyang very much. But I can't force her to do something she doesn't want to do. Forced love is never sweet, and Prince Qing is a prime example of that."

"I think it would be better to ask Princess Pingyang's opinion." So everyone saw the Empress slowly walk from the high platform towards Mo Liuyun. Reaching Mo Liuyun, she smiled sweetly and said, "Princess Anyang, do you think my rascal is worthy of you? Does he meet your approval? Am I fortunate enough to be your mother-in-law?"
