Everyone knelt down together, but no one dared to say a word.
Mu Zhao smiled and consoled him, "Your Majesty, as the emperor, you must not let your anger break the dragon's body."
"Girl Zhao is right," Emperor Zhou rubbed his forehead and looked at Qiao Xiangrong, "Qiao Xiangrong committed the crime of coveting the princess and took back the title of master of traditional Chinese painting. He will not be allowed to enter the palace again for life."
Qiao Xiangrong's back instantly collapsed, "Your Majesty..."
"What are you shouting for?" Mu Zhao yelled at him, "You covet me. His Majesty has shown mercy by not killing you. Do you still want to enter the palace again? Do you want to be a master of traditional Chinese painting again? Dream on! Get the decree to express your gratitude."
Qiao Xiangrong's eyes turned slightly to Lin Jieyu, and his expression flashed with struggle. He would not regret his death, but his and Lin Niang's daughter...
Thinking of their daughter, Qiao Xiangrong closed his eyes and nodded, "Yes, I would like to thank the Lord for your kindness."
Lin Jieyu closed her eyes, tears sliding down her eyes.
Emperor Zhou turned to look at Concubine De again, "Concubine De is immoral, so she will be demoted to Zhaoyi and move out of Xiande Palace within three days."
De Fei is the first rank, and Zhaoyi is the second rank.
Concubine De's body trembled, and then she kowtowed heavily, "I accept the decree and I would like to thank you for your kindness."
Emperor Zhou looked at the little eunuch again, "You..."
Mu Zhao opened his mouth and asked innocently, "Your Majesty, you won't execute him, will you? Otherwise, I will become the sinner who killed him."
Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "You ghost girl, how can you plead for him in a different way?"
Mu Zhao chuckled, "I'm just telling the truth, I don't want people to die because of me."
"Don't worry, no one will die because of you."
Emperor Zhou looked at the eunuch and said, "Although you made a mistake, you did it under the instruction of Concubine De, and the princess interceded for you, so you were demoted to the Huanyi Bureau."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The little eunuch had been shaking since just now, but now he finally stopped shaking.
Emperor Zhou seemed to have calmed down, and when he looked at Mu Zhao, there was a smile on his face again.
"Girl Zhao, don't stay here anymore, accompany me to visit the Imperial Garden."
Mu Zhao smiled brightly and said, "Zhao Zhao is so glorious."
"You are really good at talking." Emperor Zhou laughed heartily.
Two sedan chairs were driven away one after the other.
Concubine De slowly raised her head.
Seeing Emperor Zhou leaning slightly towards Mu Zhao, he also looked at her sideways with a smile on his face.
She hated it so much that if she didn't know that she was being persecuted by Mu Zhao at this time, then she would have lived in the palace for so many years in vain.
Mu Zhao! I am sincere to you, but you have tricked me like this, so don’t blame me.
Everyone was in mixed moods, and no one noticed the sad and desperate look between Lin Jieyu and Qiao Xiangrong.
Mu Zhao only stayed with Emperor Zhou for half an hour before he excused himself as tired and wanted to leave.
Emperor Zhou teased her, "You want to see me, Manager Yun, right?"
"Although he is very hateful," Mu Zhao said bitterly, then changed the topic, "but now that I have entered the palace, I still want to see him."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, I won't delay you young people's romance."
Mu Zhao said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I'm really not ashamed." Emperor Zhou teased her affectionately.
"Uncle Huang dotes on me, so I have to be bolder and leave Zhaozhao. I'll see him earlier so that I can go back and catch up on my sleep."
Mu Zhao said goodbye to the emperor.
The emperor looked at her back lying on the sedan chair and sneered.
Fortunately, the Mu family still has such a wanton person, otherwise, it would be hard to make enemies for them.
Every move in the palace could not escape his eyes, and he naturally knew what Concubine De had done in the past two days and why she wanted to please Mu Zhao.
Concubine De's nephew was also ambitious, and she respected his aunt the most. With the enmity between Concubine De and Mu Zhao, it was most appropriate to send Concubine De's nephew to the frontier to deliver grain and grass. This chapter has been completed!
