The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 161: Addicted to Beauty
Mu Tianji clenched his fist tightly, but after a moment, he relaxed it.

"I believe my family will not blame me. If Your Majesty can show leniency, I will be eternally grateful. But if we all unfortunately perish, I will have no regrets. At most, we can reunite as a family in the afterlife."

The Emperor of Yue, seeing that he was unyielding, flew into a rage and slammed him to the ground, his face contorted with rage. "Mu Tianji," he roared, "your obstinacy is utterly suicidal! Do you think you can hide this forever? Wang Wei, as the last disciple of the Divine Physician Hua, possesses a treasure trove and knows the secrets of immortality. I have already spread this news; there is nowhere left for her to hide. If I cannot find her, then I will have everyone search for her."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianji's expression changed drastically. "Why does Your Majesty insist on killing her? Junior Sister has no treasures or secrets to immortality. Your Majesty should not be so persistent."

"Whether it's true or not is not up to you to decide. If it's really not true, you can have Wang Wei come and explain to me personally, and I might believe it. But for so many years, she has disappeared to avoid me. What am I supposed to think?" The Emperor of Yue Kingdom sneered.

Mu Tianji was utterly despondent.

He was well aware of the emperor's obsession with immortality. Over the years, countless Taoist priests and doctors had tried to concoct elixirs for him, but in the end, none of them met a good end.

If his junior sister falls into his hands, the outcome will not be good either.

If Junior Sister doesn't run away, is she supposed to wait to be imprisoned by him and made into pills for him?

"I have said everything I needed to say. If Your Majesty does not believe me, I have nothing more to say." After saying this, Mu Tianji closed his eyes.

Mu Tianji's face was filled with murderous intent. "Mu Tianji, since you want to die, I will grant your wish. Guards, drag Mu Tianji out and kill him!"

"Your Majesty, what has caused such a great rage?"

Just then, a seductive voice rang out from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a glamorous and alluring woman walked in.

Upon seeing this wicked concubine, Mu Tianji turned his head away.

The emperor was not only obsessed with alchemy, but also with beautiful women.

Especially Consort Yu, who was so alluring that the Emperor was completely captivated by her.

For her sake, the emperor was even willing to skip court and neglect state affairs.

"My beloved concubine has arrived." Sure enough, when the Emperor of Yue saw Consort Yu, the anger on his face dissipated, and he even smiled.

Consort Yu glanced at Mu Tianji, her body as soft as if it had no bones, and nestled into the Emperor of Yue's arms. She said tenderly and gently, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. This is ginseng tea that I specially brewed for you. Please drink it quickly."

As she spoke, she gestured to the maid to present the teacup in her hand to the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom.

The Emperor of Yue Kingdom sat down with Consort Yu in his arms, glancing at the eunuch.

The eunuch understood immediately, took out a silver needle, examined the ginseng tea, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he serve the ginseng tea to the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Moon Kingdom was relieved, picked up the ginseng tea, and slowly drank it all.

Seeing this, Consort Yu's tightly clenched fingers finally loosened slowly.

That dog emperor is always cautious.

Even though he doted on her, he was always very careful about the food anyone handled, and it had to be checked to make sure there were no problems before she would eat it.

Because of Consort Yu's interruption, the Yue Kingdom Emperor's anger dissipated considerably, and he no longer intended to kill Mu Tianji.

Consort Yu sat with him for a while, and when she saw that it was about time, she stood up with a charming smile and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Your Majesty should rest early and not get upset over someone who is not worth it."

Looking at her, the Emperor of Yue felt a strong urge, but mindful of Mu Tianji's presence, he restrained himself and simply waved his hand, dismissing her.

As soon as she left, the Emperor of Yue changed his expression and said to Mu Tianji, "Considering the merits you have rendered to Yue, I will give you another chance. Go back and think it over carefully. If you have come to your senses, come and see me. Guards, take Mu Tianji back to the Heavenly Prison!"

Mu Tianji, who had escaped death, felt no joy whatsoever.

He was deeply worried about the future of the Moon Kingdom.

The emperor neglected state affairs, indulging in alchemy and extravagant construction projects, wasting public funds and resources to build the so-called "Star-Picking Tower" for his concubine. If this continued, the Yue Kingdom would inevitably perish. However, Mu Tianji was unaware that the Yue emperor suddenly died that very night. The imperial physicians examined him for a long time but could not find the cause of death, assuming it was due to the emperor's long-term consumption of elixirs.

Suddenly, the Yue Kingdom was thrown into chaos. Just as the ministers were about to support the eleventh prince to succeed to the throne, the seventh prince, Xuanyuan Ke, who was supposed to be on a mission to the Xizhou Kingdom, returned with tens of thousands of troops.

The eleventh prince's faction, caught completely off guard, was attacked.

Thus, the seventh prince, Xuanyuan Ke, took control of the Yue Kingdom's court and became the new monarch of the Yue Kingdom.

……

The capital of the State of Wei.

On this day, Yunwei, Xuanyuan Jing, and Huang Liang went to Wangyue Tower to listen to music and drink tea.

Just as they arrived outside the Wangyue Tower, they unexpectedly encountered Fengyin.

Feng Yin was accompanied by a girl, but the girl was very tall and strong, with dark skin. If she hadn't been wearing a dress, one would have thought she was a man at first glance.

Seeing that everyone's gazes were fixed on Xu Yanyan, Feng Yin smiled slightly, "Princess, what a coincidence to meet you here."

"It is quite a coincidence." Yun Wei turned her gaze away from Xu Yanyan.

"Your Highness, you probably don't know, but this is Xu Yanyan, the granddaughter of General Xu," Feng Yin introduced with a hint of pride.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei turned her gaze to Xu Yanyan again.

She was actually General Xu's granddaughter, the Empress Dowager's chosen successor.
"I'm truly sorry for the rudeness," Yun Wei nodded slightly.

Xu Yanyan was naturally somewhat insecure because of her appearance. She disliked beautiful and slender women the most.

The women in front of her were not only beautiful, but also slender and delicate, exactly the type of people she disliked the most.

He immediately said impatiently, "What disrespect? I don't even know you."

"How can you be so rude? He was just being polite, and you took it seriously?" Xuan Yuanjing retorted angrily.

“Yes, Miss Xu, that was just a very basic polite remark,” Huang Ying added.

“You don’t need to be so arrogant,” Liang Tian quickly chimed in.

"What did you say?" Xu Yanyan's expression changed, and she took two steps forward, looking down at the three of them.

Feng Yin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yan Yan, you don't know, do you? Huang Ying and Liang Tian will also be entering the palace with you. However, you will be the Empress, and they will only be concubines."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyan frowned and glanced sideways at Huang Ying and Liang Tian.

Seeing that the two women were beautiful and had graceful figures, he immediately felt uneasy.

She snorted coldly, her expression one of disdain and contempt. "I can tell. They all look like concubines."

"What did you say?" Liang Tian roared in anger.

"Tian'er, don't be angry. Some people look like shrews, and to make matters worse, they're narrow-minded and vicious. Don't lower yourself to their level, or you'll lose face," Xuan Yuanjing comforted her.

“That’s right, we shouldn’t stoop to their level.” Huang Ying also pulled Liang Tian back and winked at her.

Since they don't intend to enter the palace and are going to leave, it's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble now.

Yun Wei glanced at Feng Yin, said nothing, and then said to the people around her, "Let's go in."

Just as the group was about to enter, Xu Yanyan suddenly threw a punch at them, saying, "You've humiliated me, and you think you can just leave?"
