The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 95 - 96

"Mu'shi?" Empress Dowager muttered in a whisper. A displeasure appeared on her face. She's just rewarded the person and in the next moment, she was slapped right in the face? When she swept her glance at Mu Xi Yao's seat, her gaze hid an anger.

"Your Majesty. There must be some mistake? How can it be possible that Mu'shi is ill-matched with the imperial family? Since marrying over for three years, it's her second time being diagnosed with pregnancy. Moreover, when this marriage was bestowed, their eight characters had been compared. There was nothing wrong with it."

Consort Shu's heart clenched tightly. How can she not understand that someone wanted to deal with Zhong Zheng Lin? If Mu'shi was found guilty, the future prospects of Cheng Qing and the one in her womb will be utterly ruined. No matter whether Mu'shi was sent to the family temple or her name was removed from the imperial genealogy, it'll all make a damage on Zhong Zheng Lin's reputation. Besides, Zhong Zheng Lin's children were all born by Mu'shi. They intended to destroy his foundation!

"What an extreme audacity to spread fallacies and blind the mind of the people!" Before Yuancheng Emperor could speak, the sixth Highness attacked first.

"Imperial father, such a treacherous and crafty person who talks sheer nonsenses ought to be beheaded."

Zhong Zheng Lin's phoenix eyes locked directly onto the cowering person in the front. There was no investigation, yet as soon as that person opened his mouth he wanted to take a human's life.

Zhong Zheng Lin protected Mu Xi Yao firmly behind his back. Her heart felt warm. Boss standing up for her at the crucial time actually made her feel touched. However, she, Mu Xi Yao, wasn't someone to be bullied. Since they dared to brazenly wreak damage on her, as long as she didn't scrape off a layer of the other person's skin, they ought not to think that she was done with them.

A burst of sadness and happiness went through He Lian Min Min's heart. Just a moment ago, she was sick at heart with worries. And now, it was as if she was immersed in a dream. Such a good thing has actually come upon her?

If Mu'shi was convinced of crime by Yuancheng Emperor, her problems would be easily solved. She will be troubled with no more worries. No matter how many children Mu Xi Yao had, it would be all in naught. Not to mention her miserable ending. Daring to clash with the imperial family's birth chart, not being sentenced to death was already a blessing.

Wan Jing Wen was stupefied for a moment. So many people had a grudge against lady Mu? She was still biding her time and this lady Mu was already approaching her grave?

Su Lin Rou did not conceal the happiness on her face. Heaven had eyes. Such a witch. Her life deserved to be collected a long time ago.

In the whole prince's residence, apart from Zhong Zheng Lin, only lady Zhang worried sincerely for her. Yet, her worry was mixed heavily with selfish motives.

Yuancheng Emperor secretly kept an eye on Mu'shi who became the focus of everyone's attention. Except for the initial shock, she acted neither servile nor bumptious, showing no cowardice. She's been sitting there quietly as if the one who was accused of having an unusually ominous birth chart was not her.

Just this courage and spirit alone made Yuancheng Emperor held her in higher regard. This cefei of Zhong Zheng Lin's, except for the words that were spoken about her birth chart today, all of her other aspects made him greatly satisfied. However, since this matter concerned the imperial clan, it couldn't be taken lightly. If she truly violated taboo, he could only discard her and put her under house arrest for the rest of her life. The fact that he didn't take her life was already his special grace.
