the Duchess want to arrange them in the guest house next door"Having heard An Xue Tang's words, Yun Si hesitantly asked a question.An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Hmm. What's wrong Don't you think it's a...The Empress was thinking, if she allowed the Emperor and that lowly woman to develop further, she would not only be deposed but the entire Hu clan would likely suffer.

So she needed to find a patron, and Mo Yunze was the most likely person to ascend to the position of Crown Prince now, so she could only choose Mo Yunze.

The Empress's call of "Huang'er" did indeed bring a slight satisfied smile to Mo Yunze's lips.

The queen's advances, he had indeed heard them.

Mo Yunze then gave the Empress a reassuring look, and then turned to the Emperor, bowing to him and all those present, including the Empress and the Consort.

The Emperor's brows furrowed slightly, his deep gaze fixed on Mo Yunze before him. He spoke in a displeased tone, "What brings you here"

“Your Majesty, today I met the Marquis of Pingjin at a teahouse. He said he hasn't seen your Majesty for many days and misses her very much. He wants me to ask if you have any free time recently. The Marchioness wishes to bring several nieces from the Hu family to visit and reminisce with your Majesty.”

Mo Yunze deliberately brought up this Pingjin Houye, and Zhi'er's brow furrowed instantly. The emperor was just about to immediately issue an imperial decree to depose the empress, all because he hadn't thought it through too much.

But if Mo Yunze brought up the Marquis of Pingjin, the emperor would have to be more cautious.

As expected, when he heard the four words "Pingjin Houye", the Emperor's eyes suddenly became clear.

First, a glimmer of confusion flashed in his eyes, then suddenly he became alert, feeling a headache coming on.

After a moment, he raised his hand and gently pinched the bridge of his nose. As the pain subsided, he looked up, his gaze sweeping across the Queen and Chi'er's faces.

Zi'er's expression tightened, and she subtly moved her index finger, causing it to begin bleeding again.

Mo Yunze then glanced at Zhi'er meaningfully, then strode forward.

I don't know what kind of smell Mo Yunze had on him, but when he got close, Zhi'er smelled an extremely pungent odor. She felt nauseous uncontrollably.

As Mo Yunze walked forward, she subconsciously took a few steps back, raised her hand to cover her nose, and frowned, "You...what's that smell on you It's so disgusting!"

Hearing Zhi'er's words, Mo Yunze raised an eyebrow and spoke calmly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to offend Your Highness. I haven't put anything on my body, and I haven't smelled anything strange either. Perhaps Your Highness has mistaken something"

Having said that, he immediately looked at the Emperor and Empress and asked again, “Father, Mother, is there really something wrong with my scent”

The Emperor and Empress couldn't smell anything unusual on Mo Yunze, so they looked at Zhi'er with a puzzled expression.

Zhier also immediately realized something was wrong, but before she could say anything, Mo Yunze spoke again. "Oh, by the way, this son does indeed have a certain scent on him, but this scent... ordinary people can't smell it. Your Majesty actually smelled it."

As they were speaking, Mo Yunze had already taken out a sachet from his sleeve.

The moment the sachet was taken out, Zhi'er repeatedly took several steps back, her face contorted in extreme disgust, as if she couldn't control herself from feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.

This unusual reaction caught the attention of everyone present. The emperor frowned, his emotionless eyes fixed on Zhi'er, without saying a word.

Zhi'er knew she absolutely couldn't let Mo Yunze continue, or else she wouldn't be able to save face today. So, she covered her nose and took two steps back, looking at Mo Yunze and saying:

"This Kunning Palace perhaps doesn't match this palace's birth chart, so this palace feels a bit unwell standing here."

Everyone present was intelligent, Chi'er's words were merely a way of conveying her meaning to Mo Yunze.

As long as Mo Yunze doesn't cause any trouble today, she will let the Empress go and continue living in Kunning Palace. From then on, they will each mind their own business.

Since Zhi'er had already withdrawn, Mo Yunze did not continue.

He raised an eyebrow, then took a few steps back, putting the incense bag away. "Your Majesty's health is fine now. May Your Highness lead Your Majesty away"

Zhi'er pursed her lips and ultimately left the Kunning Palace with the Emperor.

Even the Empress noticed the Emperor's odd behavior.

After Mo Yunze finished speaking to Zhi'er, the emperor remained silent. Zhi'er told him to follow her, and he obeyed, just like a puppet on a string.

Whatever Chi'er said, he would do. This was not the personality of an emperor.

After the Emperor and Zhi'er left Kunning Palace, the Empress's tightly wound nerves finally relaxed. She slumped onto the bed, taking a deep breath.

Had it not been for Mo Yunze's timely appearance today, the emperor's words would have definitely meant deposing the empress.

I can't even imagine what would happen to her today if Mo Yunze doesn't appear. It must be utterly tragic.

Thinking about these things, the queen's scalp went numb. She sat on the bed and rested for a long time.

After waiting for a moment, she finally raised her head to look at Mo Yunze, “What’s going on What’s wrong with Your Majesty Why is he so obedient to that woman”

“Mother, speaking such vile words about her in front of your son is bad enough. But afterward, when facing the Emperor, please do not utter another slander against that woman. That woman is no ordinary woman; she is actually the mistress of the Western Regions’ Evil Clan and excels in sorcery. Even though Mother resides within the palace, you must surely have heard tales of the witchcraft practiced in the Western Regions”

>The most notable characteristic of someone who has been bewitched is that their consciousness can be controlled. The new concubine is skilled in the art of sorcery, and she has placed a curse on the emperor. She can control his mind and make him make decisions that are not his own, such as...deposing the empress.

"The Queen's eyes widened in shock, and she sprang out of bed excitedly. She clenched her fists and stared intently at Mo Yunze, her voice trembling slightly, "You... you mean to say that the Emperor was bewitched by that woman That she can control the Emperor's mind"

Mo Yunze nodded slightly, "That's right, that's why Father would go to such lengths, almost stripping Mother of her position as Empress."

"Then...then, since you already know that wretch poisoned the Emperor, why didn't you tell him"

Having said that, the Empress was visibly excited, thinking she had grasped Zhi'er's secret. She rushed to Mo Yunze's side, grabbed his arm, and tried to pull him out:

"Come quickly, let us follow the Emperor! We must explain everything to him and make him see through that wretch's schemes. We mustn't allow him to be deceived any longer!"

Of course Mo Yunze could understand why the Empress was so excited, but if it were that easy to deal with the leader of the Western Regions' evil clan, he wouldn't have let that woman take his father out of Kunning Palace.

There were some things he couldn't explain right away. Seeing the Empress excitedly trying to pull him out, Mo Yunze reached back and grabbed the Empress's arm, "Mother Empress, please don't get excited first. This matter is not that simple. We need to plan carefully.".An Xuetang was fortunate not to know the emperor's naive thoughts that day, or she really would have laughed out loud.Want her to accept Cheng Ru'er with Mo YunjingTwo women serving one husband If su...
