Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Seeing Mo Yaohua chattering non-stop, plotting how to make Lan Ruyu the mistress, Chu Xuanhan stood up angrily.

"Liu Lang, where are you going?" Mo Yaohua chased after him, "Why are you leaving right after you got here? Yaoyao hasn't even finished her words yet."

Chu Xuanhan turned back angrily, "Do you want me to stay here and listen to you talk endlessly about those trivial things in the backyard?"

"I'm sorry, Yaoyao forgot that you don't like these things, but Yaoyao did this for Liulang's sake."

Mo Yaohua will never admit his mistakes easily. He will push them away if he can, but if he can't, he will use other excuses.

"For this king?" Chu Xuanhan didn't feel that at all. "Then tell me, how do you do this for this king?"

Mo Yaohua explained, "Yaoyao's status as a concubine's daughter brings shame to Liu Lang, but since mother has become the legal wife, Yaoyao will be the legitimate daughter."

"Being a legitimate daughter is not just a status; it also concerns one's background, knowledge, and talent..." Chu Xuanhan stopped abruptly.

He thought of Mo Zhaohua again, whose mother came from a prominent family and who herself was intelligent and bright, completely different from the person in front of him.

When they were with her in the past, they talked about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers and tea, but with Mo Yaohua, they only talked about matters between men and women.

At that time, I just thought Mo Zhaohua was serious and boring, while Mo Yaohua was extremely attractive. Now I actually miss that time.

"Why don't you say anything?" Mo Yaohua was holding her breath. Because of her biological mother, she was destined not to be that kind of legitimate daughter.

Chu Xuanhan didn't want to say more. "Now that you're married, don't interfere in the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion. If you interfere too much, it will cause gossip."

Mo Yaohua is obsessed with becoming a legitimate daughter, and is on par with Mo Zhaohua, "Why? Liu Lang doesn't want Yaoyao to become a legitimate daughter?"

Chu Xuanhan really didn't want that. "If you really become a legitimate daughter, given your mother's background, there will only be more criticism in the future."

Mo Yaohua clenched his hands into fists, his slightly long nails digging into his palms, and he could only maintain his expression by relying on the pain.

At this moment, she already hated Lan Ruyu. If Lan Ruyu's background wasn't so terrible, she wouldn't have been despised in so many ways.

Chu Xuanhan advised, "You should behave yourself these few days. It's best not to go out, so as not to be upset by the rumors outside."

After all, he still had feelings for Mo Yaohua and couldn't bear to see her too sad, so he left this sentence before walking out of the main hall.

Mo Yaohua responded and wanted to see him out, but was stopped by him. He didn't want to see her or talk to her now.

It was not until they left Lanwu Courtyard that Chu Xuanhan asked Leng Yan, "Is this my illusion? Yaoyao is becoming more and more disappointing."

"I dare not speak nonsense." Leng Yan did not dare to respond, for fear of saying something wrong and making Chu Xuanhan unhappy.

"If I had married Mo Zhaohua, none of these things would have happened, right?" It was not the first time Chu Xuanhan thought so.

Leng Yan comforted him, "Master, it's not that you don't want to marry, but His Majesty has not approved it. Please let it go as soon as possible."

Chu Xuanhan regretted it deeply, "If I had insisted on marrying you, it's not that I didn't have a chance, but I just didn't fight for it with all my strength at the beginning."

He could not convince Emperor Wenzong by himself, but he could instigate Mo Zhaohua to seek help from Empress Dowager Yuande and Concubine De.

Unfortunately, he thought there were other options at the time, such as Yuchi Jiuyue. Princess Qi did not have to be Mo Zhaohua.

On the other side, in Lanwu Courtyard, Mo Yaohua went to the side room.

She twisted the handkerchief hard, "Damn bitch, you hurt me like this, if I don't take revenge, I won't be called Mo Yaohua!"

Qinghua comforted her in a gentle voice, "Master, anger is harmful to your health. It is really not worth it to get angry because of Princess Yu."

Mo Yaohua gnashed his teeth and said, "Hurry up and send someone to find out what rumors there are about me."

She also knew some of the rumors outside, but she was not implicated in them. It was Mo Yun who was always the one being cursed.

However, she was in the back house, surrounded by maids and old women, and had few opportunities to go out, so the news was naturally delayed.

If Chu Xuanhan hadn't come to question her, she wouldn't have known that she had been implicated and made him unhappy.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Qinghua bowed and left, then had to go find someone to do the purchasing and spend money to bribe them.

Fortunately, the Prince Yu's Mansion gave her many rewards, so she had money to spend and didn't feel sorry for it. After all, the Prince Yu's Mansion had clear rewards and punishments.

***

the next morning.

Mo Yun entered the Qinzheng Hall to meet the emperor with great trepidation.

Emperor Wenzong sat behind the imperial desk, "Mo Yun, I heard that you have been very popular recently."

Mo Yun knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my crime and I shouldn't have ignored your kindness and put my mother under house arrest."

Emperor Wenzong said angrily: "You are still a scholar, how can the students see you? How can they see me?"

He originally wanted to turn a blind eye and just give a few words of advice, but a minister made a suggestion yesterday.

It is the spring examination period now, and all the middle school students in Shengjing City have gathered here. Mo Yunben is a man who has passed the imperial examination, so this matter must be dealt with seriously.

Firstly, the students are well-read in the books of sages and have always respected their teachers. They would not tolerate Mo Yun's behavior and would regard it as an insult.

Secondly, in the future, students will be influenced badly and the moral atmosphere will be corrupted. If they want to deal with it seriously, they will use him as an example.

Thirdly, it was influenced by the wisdom of Emperor Wenzong. Although Mo Yun was the third place winner chosen by the previous emperor, it was he who promoted him later.

Therefore, only by killing a chicken to scare the monkey can we deter students, appease those who think Mo Yun should be punished, and preserve the reputation of Emperor Wenzong.

Mo Yun kowtowed heavily to apologize, "I am guilty. I have failed your majesty's trust and important position, and I have also tarnished your majesty's wisdom."

Emperor Wenzong temporarily suspended him from his post, "The examination is about to end, you should go back home and avoid the limelight. You don't need to attend court or report for duty recently."

"Your Majesty, I obey your order!" Mo Yun's heart sank to the bottom, and he was very afraid that he would no longer have a place in the court from now on.

"Go away." Emperor Wenzong sent Mo Yun away, picked up a memorial and started reading it, while his other hand reached for the red pen.

Not long after Mo Yun left, Li Tuquan stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Qi requests an audience."

Emperor Wenzong reviewed the memorial with a red brush and said, "It is indeed time for you to come, but I am not free now."

"I understand. I'll report back to Your Highness right away." Li Tuquan bowed and walked out of the hall.

Chu Xuanhan did not hear the eunuch summoning him to an audience, but when Li Tuquan came out, he knew that Emperor Wenzong refused to see him.

He begged in a low voice, "Eunuch Li, please say something good for me. I really don't know about Minister Mo's affairs."

Li Tuquan looked helpless, "Please forgive me for my inability. Your Highness should still remember what I said when I asked for the imperial decree for the concubine."

How could Chu Xuanhan forget that in order to persuade Emperor Wenzong to grant the marriage, he praised Mo Yaohua to the highest heavens and on earth.

Now he regretted it, "I really didn't know at that time that the concubine was so unfilial, and I didn't mean to deceive my father."

Li Tuquan advised him, "Your Majesty is busy reviewing memorials right now. It's pointless for Your Highness to wait. Why don't you do something else first?"
