Chapter 357
The emperor snorted coldly, telling these ministers that they deserved it as they were so stingy on a daily basis!
The emperor said with a gloomy face: "The Lin family has lax discipline and allowed the guards to assassinate the Regent Princess in public. Lin Gedi even dared to come to the palace to falsely accuse the Regent Princess. Drag her out and give her thirty strokes of the cane."
Ling Geti begged for mercy in fear: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Drag him out."
Immediately, guards came in and dragged Lingger out.
Soon, the sound of beatings and Linggedi's screams were heard outside.
Mo Shaoxie glanced at Yun Shen and said, "Bring the person in."
Mo Feng walked in, escorting a woman, and knelt down, "Your Highness."
The emperor looked at this scene, looked at Mo Shaoxie in confusion, and asked, "What is this?"
Mo Shaoxie said coldly: "Mo Feng, get up."
"Yes." Mo Feng bowed to the emperor, stood up and stood next to Mo Shaoxie.
In the main hall of the imperial palace, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Mo Shaoxie's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at the woman who was tied up on the ground. His voice was low and full of majesty, "Your Majesty, this woman is the murderer who killed General Yun."
Yun Shen stood aside, his face pale, his eyes full of doubt and anger. He shouted: "Impossible, could the Regent King just grab a woman and think he can clear the Regent King's wife of suspicion?" His voice echoed in the hall, sounding unusually firm.
The emperor's face was solemn and he remained silent. His eyes moved back and forth between Mo Shaoxie and Yun Shen, as if he was thinking about something important.
Mo Shaoxie snorted coldly, his eyes sharp as a knife, pointing directly at the woman on the ground, "Do you want me to tell you, or do you want me to kill the man you love before you tell me?" His words were full of threats and intimidation, making people shudder.
Yun Shen couldn't help but feel flustered when he heard what Mo Shaoxie said. He said boldly, "Your Majesty, you see, the Regent is clearly threatening this woman, and he said that he didn't just grab someone to clear the Regent's wife of suspicion." Although his voice was a little trembling, it was full of determination and courage.
The emperor looked at the woman on the ground, then looked at Mo Shaoxie, his brows furrowed.
When the woman heard Mo Shaoxie's words, her body trembled slightly, and then she said, "Don't kill my senior brother. I was the one who killed Yun Canghai." Her voice was weak.
When Yun Shen heard her words, his face turned pale instantly. He couldn't believe his ears, "Impossible, how could a woman like you kill my father?" His voice was filled with shock and anger.
In the imperial study, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
Mo Feng clasped his fists and bowed to the emperor, his voice low and firm, "Your Majesty, this woman is a disciple of the Xueyou Sect. Her skills are not as weak as she looks."
The emperor frowned after hearing his words, "Xueyou Sect?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in his voice.
You know, the Xueyou Sect is a local force in Xiliang, so how could they appear in the territory of the Dongyue Dynasty? And how could they appear in front of everyone in this way?
Mo Feng continued, "This woman used her appearance to get close to General Yun and made General Yun fall in love with her. For this reason, General Yun even bought a house for her." His words revealed a hint of helplessness and anger, as if he felt sorry and angry about General Yun's experience.
Yun Shen stood aside, his face pale, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. "Impossible, you are talking nonsense, my father is not that kind of person." He shouted loudly, trying to deny Mo Feng's accusation.
However, the woman at the side burst out laughing, "Not that kind of person? Every time he comes, he touches me and can't wait. He also says that he is tired of the old woman at home. If I hadn't received the task and said to wait for the right opportunity, I would have killed that old man long ago." Her words were full of sarcasm and disdain, as if she was mocking Yun Shen's naivety and childishness.
Yun Shen's face turned pale instantly after hearing her words. He opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he heard.
His heart was filled with pain and anger, and he didn't understand why his father had become such a person.
The emperor asked angrily, "Why did you want to kill General Yun?" His voice was full of anger and confusion.
