"Your Majesty, one code is the same. Whether Mu Jingrui can come to the case has nothing to do with punishing the Queen. Please, Your Majesty, please don't be benevolent as a woman and set an example for all husbands in the world."
"That's right. Your Majesty, the Queen's reckless behavior is not worthy of being the mother of a country."
The officials were all talking, trying to make things difficult for Mu Jingyan.
Among the six ministers, the Minister of War was originally Mu Jingrui, but now he is absent. Among the remaining five ministers, there are also those who support Mu Jingrui, so no one stood aside and spoke.
However, under the current situation, if Xiao Yujue does not punish Mu Jingyan, these people will not give up.
Only then did Mu Jingyan realize that he had done a stupid thing, but it was too late to regret it.
She looked at Xiao Yujue with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Yujue's heart was in turmoil, and she was so angry that she was going crazy, but she couldn't express all her emotions on her face, so...
He turned to look at Shangguan Yue and asked, "How does the Prime Minister think this should be handled?"
Shangguan Yue was slightly startled.
He had tried his best to keep a low profile and not speak, but Xiao Yujue still threw the problem to him.
Shangguan Yue smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen's behavior is indeed beneath the dignity of the royal family. What you sirs are saying makes sense, and the emperor should indeed punish her immediately."
Xiao Yujue was choked by Shangguan Yue.
He showed a helpless expression.
This old fox is really smart, and he throws the question back again.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is supposed to be a role model for the Sixth Palace. If you allow her to be so wanton, how will you manage the harem in the future? If you can't even manage the harem well, how will you rule the world? And..."
"Okay, okay." Xiao Yujue interrupted the speakers and looked at Mu Jingyan, his expression becoming extremely serious.
"The Queen's behavior is reckless and unbecoming. She has removed her crown and demoted her to a talented person. She will move out of the palace and move to Chen Hua Palace from now on."
There was a loud "boom" in Mu Jingyan's mind, and everything went blank.
She never thought that Xiao Yujue would abdicate her position as queen because of this incident.
Although she doesn't care about her mother's glory in the world, she does care about his status as a legitimate wife.
"Mucairen, please."
The head chamberlain came forward with two young eunuchs and wanted to take Mu Jingyan away.
Mu Jingyan stared at Xiao Yujue, tears falling silently.
"Xiao Yujue, you are so cruel. From now on, the relationship between you and me as husband and wife will be severed. We will never see each other again... in this life."
Mu Jingyan gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.
Watching her back gradually disappear, Xiao Yujue's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly into fists.
"Your Majesty..." Wu Pianpian came forward, took Xiao Yujue's arm, and said softly, "Don't be sad, you still have a concubine..."
Xiao Yujue turned her head and smiled happily at Wu Pianpian, patted the back of her hand, and led her into the royal study.
When Shangguan Wan Ning received the news that Mu Jingyan was deposed, she stood there blankly for a long time without regaining consciousness.
A few days ago, the news that Mu Jingrui had fled in fear of crime spread throughout the government and the public, and Shangguan Wan Ning had already realized that the court had changed.
But……
Why is Xiao Yujue's attitude like this?
The carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" Shangguan Wanning lifted the curtain and saw a large number of people and carriages crowded together in front of her.
"Miss, please wait here while I go to the front to take a look."
Not long after, the entourage came back and reported: "Miss, it has been raining heavily these days, and the road ahead has collapsed. The government has sent people to repair it, but...it will take a few days."
So you can’t make it through?
Shangguan Wan Ning was a little anxious.
She is eager to know the whereabouts of Mu Jingrui. She believes that Mu Jingrui will not abscond in fear of crime. If she wants to find out this matter, she must return to the capital.
"Find an inn nearby to stay, and ask the people nearby if there is a way to get around it."
"yes."
The entourage asked the coachman to change direction and find an inn nearby.
Because most people were blocked by the road ahead, the small inn was crowded with people, so Shangguan Wan Ning rented a room to rest at a high price.
When the lamp was turned on, Shangguan Wanning was about to have her meal when suddenly the window shook and a black figure broke through the window. The murderous aura that came her way made her scalp feel numb.
Before she could scream, a black shadow locked her throat.
Those cold fingers made her shiver.
Shangguan Wan Ning remained motionless. The shadow moved his wrist and raised his hand to hit her neck. Her vision went dark and she fainted.
In a daze, Shangguan Wan Ning shivered.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself being hung upside down on the shoulders of the man in black.
The man in black took her running all the way and came to an abandoned Taoist temple.
Shangguan Wan Ning saw a burst of fire. She realized that the man in black had accomplices, so she closed her eyes and pretended that she was not awake yet.
The man in black gently placed her on the haystack, and his companions came around and asked: "How is it? Is it going well?"
"very smooth."
"We will let the news out tomorrow. Princess Anning is in our hands. I don't believe Mu Jingrui won't show up."
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that the purpose of these people kidnapping her was to lure Mu Jingrui to show up?
She had to find a way to escape.
"You take turns to stand guard, and no matter what, you can't let Princess An Ning escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and the door was shattered into pieces.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, a flash of sword light flashed, and two men in black fell into a pool of blood.
Others drew their weapons one after another.
During the exchange of weapons, the men in black fell one by one.
After a while, the surroundings became silent.
Shangguan Wan Ning heard footsteps approaching her. She hesitated to open her eyes, but her body was already being hugged.
"Ning'er? Ning'er?"
"Jing Rui?"
When Shangguan Wan Ning heard the familiar voice, she immediately threw herself into Mu Jingrui's arms.
"Where have you been these days, I'm worried to death."
Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wan Ning tightly and kissed her gently on the forehead. "It's a long story. Ning'er, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here first."
"Um."
Shangguan Wan Ning immediately stood up, held hands with Mu Jingrui and left the Taoist temple.
Mu Jingrui walked with her for about half an hour, walked to a cave halfway up the mountain, and lit a bonfire.
The surroundings became warm and bright, and Shangguan Wanning let out a long sigh of relief.
"Ning'er."
Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wan Ning into his arms, thinking completely. "As long as you're okay..."
"Jing Rui, what happened after we separated? Why didn't you go back to Beijing with them?"
