Her guards

Chapter 205 Miss Yang's Tolerance
"I've already transported those corpses there."

"To be precise, severed limbs."

Wei Jiao stood indoors, looking at "Miss Yang" who had just woken up and was lying in a rocking chair.

"Are you sure Li Xuan can find out who these people are?"

"Or are we going to frame Marquis Yichun directly?"

Mo Zheng said, "Let him investigate first. If he can't find anything, then we'll frame him." She smiled as she said this, "Everyone needs to have something to look forward to, so that he doesn't want to live anymore and break ties with His Majesty."

Wei Jiao chuckled and nodded: "You are indeed suited to be an embroiderer."

Mo Zheng smiled and said, "I can't compare to you, Senior Brother." She then got up and personally poured tea for him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother."

Wei Jiao refused the tea and said with a half-smile, "I'm not tired. I just prepared some corpses to be moved over. If anyone is tired, it's the young master of the Marquis of Yongwu."

This time she told him he was going to encounter assassins, but didn't let him follow.

"It's a trivial matter; there's no need for the captain to intervene."

As he said this, Wei Jiao noticed him and glanced at his arm.
Don't underestimate him. Even if he doesn't use this arm, is he still inferior to Zhu Yunxiao?
“His hard work wasn’t for me,” Mo Zheng said. “He did it for himself. A sinner shouldn’t be desperately trying to atone for his sins, unlike you, Senior Brother… you were truly doing it for me.”

"Also, if you hadn't found those corpses, I wouldn't have thought of this plan, and none of this would have happened today."

"Even the heir of the Marquis of Yongwu has no chance to suffer."

Today's flattering words have taken on a new twist. Wei Jiao raised an eyebrow: "So, the heir of the Marquis of Yongwu should thank me."

Mo Zheng nodded: "That's right."

Wei Jiao laughed heartily, then took the tea and glanced around: "Where's your maid? Did she go to His Majesty's side again?"

No one would suddenly ask someone a question for no reason, especially someone like Wei Jiao...

Although she and Yang Luo kept their identity swap a secret in front of the emperor, as they spent more time together, someone as cautious and sensitive as Wei Jiao would definitely feel that something was amiss.

Mo Zheng nodded: "Yes, although we had already discussed it beforehand, His Majesty still wants to know the details of what happened."

He sat back down in the rocking chair, his expression indifferent.

"I don't want to see His Majesty much. Let Ah Sheng go."

That's right. This bastard has no interest in recognizing his father or socializing with him. Wei Jiao glanced at her face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that we've finally found our father and recognized him, of course we should get closer to him."

This kind of closeness is not the kind of closeness that ordinary people think of.

Mo Zheng looked at him: "And then your father sent you out of the house?"

Wei Jiao couldn't help but laugh.

Mo Zheng laughed too: "I don't want to be sent out of the house by my father." She looked around, "This place is so nice, it's the palace."

The so-called "goodness" is that it makes things more convenient for the emperor, not because this is the richest place in the world. Wei Jiao smiled, about to say something, when a noisy sound of footsteps came from outside, mixed with the exclamations of palace maids and eunuchs.

"……Princess"

"Princess, be careful."

With a gasp, Princess Wuyang rushed in from outside, wearing only a thin garment and with her hair down, and saw the two people inside.

However, Princess Wuyang did not rush straight for Wei Jiao as usual, but instead looked at Miss Yang...
"Yang Luo, can I stay here too?" Princess Wu Yang asked, then lowered her voice and looked outside, "I don't think it's safe for Father Emperor here either."

“Princess, then you absolutely cannot stay here,” Wei Jiao said.

In the past, Wei Jiao almost never spoke to her, but now Princess Wuyang was not overjoyed when she heard this; instead, she was afraid: "Why?"

Wei Jiao smiled at her: "Because the assassins came for her."

Princess Wuyang's already pale face turned even paler.

Yes, the assassin is after Yang Luo; it's indeed very dangerous. We must stay away from her, otherwise, if it happens again, she will die like her mother...

But, for some reason, she just didn't want to leave.

Princess Wuyang reached out and grabbed Yang Luo's sleeve: "Yang Luo, my mother died for you. If there are assassins, you must protect me."

Mo Zheng nodded: "Okay, Princess, don't worry."

It seemed that hearing her words would guarantee her survival, so Princess Wuyang relaxed her tense body and sat down close to the rocking chair.

Wei Jiao stood up, looking displeased. "I'm leaving."

After saying that, he strode out.

It's so annoying, we can't even talk in peace anymore.

When Yang Luo and the emperor walked over, they saw through the window that "Miss Yang" was lying on the rocking chair with her eyes closed and asleep, while Princess Wuyang was wrapped in a cloak and curled up on the couch next to the rocking chair, also asleep.

The emperor's expression was cold.

The eunuch outside the door hurriedly whispered, "The princess is frightened and insists on following Miss Yang."

"She didn't make a scene," the emperor said in a deep voice.

Princess Wuyang was not a good-tempered girl; she was arrogant and domineering, and didn't even respect Princess Heping.

Upon learning that Consort Yang had died for Yang Luo, shouldn't Princess Wuyang hate Miss Yang to the core, make a huge scene demanding that Miss Yang be buried with her, so that Princess Wuyang could be imprisoned...?

Yang Luo smiled, not surprised at all. Although Consort Li deliberately arranged the assassination in Princess Wuyang's palace, she didn't care about her daughter's life or death at all, and even wanted her daughter to die, but Asheng would definitely save her.

Although Princess Wuyang did not know the details, her instincts after escaping death probably told her who she could rely on.

"Let them rest a bit more," Yang Luo said, respectfully inviting the emperor, "Your Majesty, please come and sit here for a while."

The emperor frowned and went into a nearby palace room.

“Ah Luo,” he said in a deep voice, “as you said, use the assassins who tried to kill you on the dark street last time to lure Li Xuan into investigating and suspecting Marquis Yichun. That way, their crimes cannot be revealed for a while.”

He slammed his hand on the table as he said this.

"Your mother's death is still shrouded in mystery, and I truly cannot bear it..."

Yang Luo said, "Knowing the murderer and being able to kill him, my mother can rest in peace in the afterlife. Your Majesty, please be patient a little longer. Use the Li family to weaken the Chai family and regain military power. The Chai family will surely uncover the Li family's evil deeds, but..."

She looked at the emperor.

"But what?" the emperor said quickly, his expression gentle. "A-Luo, just tell me what you want."

"However, Your Majesty, even if things settle down in the future and you punish Lady Li, please do not involve Consort Li again," Yang Luo said softly.

what?
Why not announce Consort Li's crimes? Doesn't that mean she should be buried with the reputation of saving Miss Yang, and be buried with the dignity of a consort?

Even with Luo Ying, the woman he longed for, standing before him, the emperor could no longer suppress his rage.

"Absolutely not!" he shouted.

……

.......
"Even if this wicked woman dies, her crimes should be proclaimed to the world!"

“Your Majesty, it’s not for her reputation, but for Your Majesty’s sake, and for her and Your Majesty’s two children.”

Upon hearing this, the emperor became even more furious.

"I have no children with her, and I hereby depose them and reduce them to commoners!"

He didn't want to see those two children even once!
He's lived with this wicked woman for so many years!
He even fathered a child with a poisonous woman!
But his Ah Tong couldn't stay by his side, and in the end, she was killed by this vicious woman!

If it weren't for Ah Tong's brave and quick-witted child, he would have died countless times!
"A-Luo," the emperor said, looking at his daughter with a sorrowful expression, "how could you still plead for them?"

Yang Luo looked somewhat wistful.

"Perhaps it's because I empathize with them. My mother and father's past has nothing to do with me, but as their child, if they harm my mother, I will be harmed too."

"Consort Li and Li Xuan were planning these things, but Wu Yang and the Prince of Linhai certainly didn't know."

“They did not do anything evil. Most importantly, they have His Majesty’s blood, and I also have His Majesty’s blood, so we can be considered to have half the same blood.”

She looked at the emperor.

"I can't bear to see fathers and sons kill each other, nor do I want brothers and sisters to kill each other."

She then bowed in greeting.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my foolishness; it was just a woman's sentimentality."

The emperor looked at the girl before him with emotion and shook his head gently: "A-Luo, I cannot laugh at you. You are indeed kind-hearted, but not ruthless. You avenged your mother cleanly and efficiently, and you have a broad mind."

A Luo may not have the title or status of a princess, but she possesses the magnanimity of a monarch.

That's right, this is Deng Shan's daughter, this is his real daughter.

He nodded.

"Alright, I will listen to you."

Yang Luo raised her head and smiled broadly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

.......
"Father, Father—"

A panicked boy's voice rang out from outside the hall.

"Prince of Linhai, you cannot wander off."

"Why did you let him out?"

"Take it back quickly."

"Let me go! How dare you, you slaves—"

"I want to see my father, I want to see my sister—"

Wearing a prince's robe, but with wrinkled clothes and stained with dirt, Prince Linhai was surrounded by two or three eunuchs. He struggled to rush to the palace, but the eunuchs, who were usually respectful to him, were now unkind. They not only blocked his way but also picked him up and carried him.

"Take him away quickly. His Majesty has given orders that the palace is dangerous and the Prince of Linhai is not to wander around."

"Lock him up, lock him up."

"Wait a minute."

The Prince of Linhai cried and struggled, and just as he was about to be carried away, a woman's voice stopped him.

Upon hearing the woman's voice, the previously fierce eunuchs instantly became docile and released the Prince of Linhai.

Through his teary eyes, the Prince of Linhai saw a young girl walking out of the palace.

It wasn't her sister's princess attire, nor was it the familiar palace maid's outfit.

Yang Luo walked up to the Prince of Linhai and bowed to him: "I am Miss Yang's maid. The Imperial Concubine saved my young lady..."

She looked at the child with a mixture of respect and excitement.

"The maid, Asheng, is also willing to do everything she can for the prince."

It turned out to be the maidservant of the person his mother had risked her life to save. The Prince of Linhai cried out, "I want to see my father and sister—"

“Princess Wuyang was frightened. She took her medicine and fell asleep. Your Highness, please don’t disturb her,” Yang Luo said softly. “However, I can take you to see His Majesty. His Majesty went to see your uncle.”

The Emperor and his uncle are now the Prince of Linhai's greatest support. The Prince of Linhai was overjoyed and grabbed Yang Luo's hand, "Good, good, take me there quickly!"

As he spoke, he looked around at the eunuchs with some concern, wondering if they would try to stop him again... after all, she was just a maid.

The maid took his hand and led him forward, saying, "Let's go."

The Prince of Linhai followed suit, and the eunuchs around him bowed their heads and respectfully withdrew.

Prince Linhai breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great!" he said, looking up at the maid. "You must obey my orders. You owe my mother a life."

The young prince put on an arrogant demeanor, but his small hand tightly gripped the maid's hand, revealing his nervousness and dependence.

Yang Luo looked at the young prince.

The Li family's conspiracy has been exposed, Consort Li is dead, and Li Xuan's fate is sealed. However, she will not tolerate her mother, nor will she tolerate the continued existence of the Chai family.

Moreover, the next emperor will be the King of Donghai, who has the blood of the Chai family.

The emperor is reliable, but she needs more reliability.

Therefore, she advised the emperor not to punish Consort Li, so that the princes born to Consort Li would not be implicated.

A clean and upright prince is more useful than a prince who has been deposed and reduced to a commoner.

Yang Luo smiled at him: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you."
