"Plain?" Elder Ning coldly snorted, scorn appearing on his aloof face. “I heard that over six months ago, your imperial clan framed Yun’yatou and claimed that she harassed a beautiful boy in public so it would be easy for the Crown Prince to cancel his engagement with her. However, I looked into it and discovered that the person who deliberately set him up was the so-called Innocent Mu Wushuang you were talking about!
The old man's words were like heavy objects mercilessly smashing into Noble Consort Mu's heart. His eyes opened wide in shock as he vehemently denied, “That's impossible! Wushuang was kind and would never do such a thing!”
Even though he said that, he was not too sure in his heart. The world might not know about Mu Wushuang's true nature, but he understood it completely. With Wushuang's personality, she would definitely do such a thing.
“Someone came!” Gao Tu made up his mind and violently ordered, "Take Mu Wushuang here to see Zhen!"
“Your Majesty!” Noble Consort Mu shouted involuntarily as he clenched his fists. “Wushuang would not do something like this. These are all false accusations!”
If Mu Wushuang's reputation were to be completely destroyed, then it would be extremely detrimental to the Mu family. He really would not allow such a thing to happen!
"My dear Empress, you're tired, so why don't you go back to rest?" Gao Tu glanced at the pale pale complexion of the Noble Consort and nonchalantly declared. It was clear that he was already dissatisfied with how Noble Consort Mu continued to speak impudently.
Even though he specifically liked Empress Mu, he would not offend the Medical Pavilion on behalf of a woman!
With Elder Rong here, the Mu family can only resign themselves to their misfortune this time around!
Your Majesty's concubine shuddered. He wanted to rely on Gao Tu's previous affection and intercede for Mu Wushuang. However, before he could even speak, the majestic voice of the man sounded again.
“Someone came and took Noble Consort away. Without Zhen's orders, he is not allowed to step out of his bedroom.”
Hearing this, two guards stepped out from both sides of the hall and respectfully cupped their fists. "As His Majesty commanded!"
Noble Consort Mu's body weakened and nearly fell down, but he firmly supported his body and reluctantly bowed towards Gao Tu. "This servant will leave now."
Her beautiful eyes were filled with pitiful tears. He could not help but look at Gao Tu again when he raised his head, but after seeing the lack of reaction from Gao Tu, he could only follow the two guards out of the hall …
"Older Rong, Zhen has ordered someone to bring Mu Wushuang here, so please wait a moment." Gao Tu faintly smiled, his tone no longer held back his previous sternness and instead had a pleasant color.
Elder Rong snorted and ignored Gao Tu's goodwill expression, arrogantly turning his head to one side. He started making small talk with Elder Rong.
“When a person is elderly, their legs do not work as they used to. Unlike some people who remain seated and do not know to offer their seats to the elderly.”
The old man's voice revealed his dissatisfaction as his brows furrowed, making Gao Tu suddenly react. Gao Tu put on a stern face and scolded Yun Luofeng, "Yun Luofeng, why haven't you offered your seat to Elder Rong yet?"
In the entire hall, only he and Yun Luofeng were seated! Thus, Gao Tu assumed that the "few people" in Elder Rong's words were Yun Luofeng.
Hearing this, the corner of Yun Luofeng's lips lifted, and his bewitching eyes looked at Gao Tu as he said with a faint smile, "Are you sure that Elder Rong asked me to offer you my seat?"
"If not you, who else can do it?" Gao Tu's face remained stern as he rebuked loudly, “Yun Luofeng, although someone from the Medical Pavilion owes you a favor, Elder Rong's status speaks for itself. You still need to respect it and not be able to utilize one's kindness as compensation! In addition, Elder Rong came to the palace for you, so you should hand over your seat to him.
Elder Ning nonchalantly glanced at the godly emperor and laughed mockingly. “This old bastard has never seen someone this shameless. Elder Rong clearly spoke of you, but you insisted on diverting it to Yun’yatou. Nothing can match the thickness of your skin.”
Gao Tu's face froze! What does this old man mean? Elder Rong was not referring to Yun Luofeng? That her?
He coldly looked at Yun Luofeng, his serious face revealing his dark mood.
If not for him, he would not have lost his dignity in front of these many ministers! He would not be humiliated like this either!
One day, he would avenge his disgrace today!
As the emperor of Long Yuan, Gao Tu naturally had an innate arrogance! He might respect and like these people on the surface, but the truth is that he was secretly unwilling to serve anyone! From beginning to end, he believed that as a ruler, he should be above everyone and receive people's praise and respect! He shouldn't have been here intentionally licking someone to get their help!
But in the end, he suppressed all the anger in his heart and coldly commanded, "Someone, come and bring a chair for both."
"Not these two, these three."
Elder Ning nonchalantly smiled. "General Yun is also tired with age, could it be that you intend to let him remain standing here?"
These words almost made Gao Tu spurt out three quarts of blood. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath, calming the anger in his heart and ordered coldly, "Bring me a chair for General Yun too."
Only heaven knew how frowning he was saying these words. His handsome face was covered in cold streaks, a severe light flashed across his dignified eyes as he looked at Yun Luo coldly.
He wanted to see if Old General Yun dared to sit in front of him!
Unfortunately, it was against his wishes.
Yun Luo slowly sat right in front of him. The old man's face maintained his excited smile, as if he had no respect for this emperor.
Gao Tu's eyes darkened and a ruthless light that exploded with a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Gao Tu did indeed have killing intent towards this old general Long Yuan with an incredible contribution! Just because this old man had the courage to sit in front of him! Isn't his actions the same as his?
Gao Tu, who had always been easily suspicious of everything, could not help but suspect whether this old man had any plans to seize the throne. Otherwise, how could he dare to put himself on equal footing with her?
"Your Majesty," a sharp voice sounded from outside the main hall.
A eunuch quickly entered the main hall with a horse-shaker in his hand and flicked his robe as he knelt while reporting, "Reporting to His Majesty, please, Prime Minister Mu and Mu Wushuang were already waiting outside the main hall."
Gao Tu frowned and glanced at the seated Elder Rong. Soon after, he coldly ordered, "Allow them in."
"As His Majesty commanded."
The eunuch saluted as he stood up before hurriedly exiting the main hall.
In a moment, Mu Xingchou in his palace clothes slowly walked into the hall. He stood with both hands behind his back, his tall figure was impressive. His geriatric face showed astonishment after seeing the people sitting in the main hall, clearly not understanding what had happened.
Mu Wushuang, who was following him up close, also saw Yun Luofeng at first glance. A strange light swept through her beautiful eyes, and an uneasy feeling flowed out from her heart at that very instant.
