At the moment, Yang s.h.i.+ Han is only wearng her inner garments. Although the important parts are all concealed, men aren't supposed to even look at women's feet, let alone anywhere else.

Yang s.h.i.+ Han hastily covers her own chest.

Mo Cheng Xuan immediately turns around, "Please forgive me, Your Ladys.h.i.+p. This general didn't do it on purpose!"

"You are too much, Mo Cheng Xuan. Not only were you disrespectful towards

bengong

, you actually dared to enter

bengong's

private chamber! You must be tired on living!"

Her servants who hear her scream rush in, "What happened, Your Ladys.h.i.+p?"

By now, Yang s.h.i.+ Han has already properly put on her dress. She glances at her servants icily, "Are you people blind? Didn't you see that General Mo has rushed into

bengong's

private chamber?"

Yang s.h.i.+ Han's personal maid, Qing Er unhappily says, "You are too preposterous, General Mo. No men can simply enter Her Ladys.h.i.+p's chamber!"

Mo Cheng Xuan tries to explain himself: "Yang Guifei, this general heard you calling for help and thought someone had attacked you. This general did not do this intentionally."

Yang s.h.i.+ Han walks in front of him and stares at him before saying, "Let

bengong

ask you something, General Mo. Do you find

bengong

beautiful?" She is wearing a pale lavender dress at the moment, layered with thin gauze. She looks particularly beautiful and refined. Her long hair are flying gracefully at the moment due to the wind from the window. She is wearing some pearl ornaments in the shape of flowers on her head, making her look as though she is glowing. Her skin is fair and smooth. She looks like a celestial being from the heaven. Her fingers are slender and her skin is creamy and her smile is charming, inciting emotions that one cannot comprehend. She looks at him almost haughtily, waiting for his reply.

He looks back at her while calmly saying, "Beautiful."

Yang s.h.i.+ Han smiles arrogantly, "Since you think

bengong

is beautiful, you must have harboured some ill-intention towards

bengong

. That was why you trespa.s.sed into

bengong's

chamber."

Mo Cheng Xuan continues explaining himself, "You've misunderstood, Your Ladys.h.i.+p. This general has said it just now, this general heard you screaming for help, that was why this general rushed in."

"Hmph, stop lying.

Bengong's

Gui Ning Palace has always been tightly-guarded, never mind an a.s.sa.s.sin, even a fly cannot fly in!

Bengong

was only screaming because there was a c.o.c.kroach." Yang s.h.i.+ Han looks at him with her chin tipped high.

Hearing her words, Mo Cheng Xuan realizes that he was the one who had been impulsive, "It was this general who lost conduct, please forgive me! This general is willing to be punished. I will wait outside while you sort your appearance out, Your Ladys.h.i.+p."

Yang s.h.i.+ Han smiles proudly as she looks at Mo Cheng Xuan who is walking out: How can there be someone so righteous in this world? Idiot.

After a moment, she walks out and sits on her designated seat. She looks at Mo Cheng Xuan and imposingly asks him, "Mo Cheng Xuan, you wronged

bengong

again. A mistake on top of a mistake. How do you think

bengong

should punish you?"

Mo Qi Qi very quickly finds out about Yang s.h.i.+ Han taking her brother away.

She comforts her worried mother, "Please wait for us here, Mother. We will return soon."

She rushes to Gui Ning Palace and hears that question just in time. She cuts them off, "Who do you think you are to punish

bengong's

brother?"

Seeing Mo Qi Qi who is walking in, Yang s.h.i.+ Han smiles arrogantly, "The empress sure came fast. Since you are here, please mediate over this matter for

chenqie

. General Mo not only spilled the soup that

chenqie

prepared for His Majesty, he also rushed into

chenqie's

chamber while

chenqie

was changing! What kind of punishment do you think he should get, Your Ladys.h.i.+p?"

"Hmph, that is only from your side! How can

bengong

believe anything if it comes from only one side of the story!" Mo Qi Qi glares at Yang s.h.i.+ Han.

Yang s.h.i.+ Han smiles, "Alright, you can ask General Mo himself if

chenqie

was lying."

Mo Qi Qi turns to Mo Cheng Xuan, "

Ge

, was Yang Guifei telling the truth?"

Mo Cheng Xuan nods, "Yang Guifei was telling the truth."

Mo Qi Qi suddenly has the desire to knock him in the head. Must this brother be so honest? When faced with the sly Yang s.h.i.+ Han, even the truth might not be the truth. She is here to save him, but now that he said that, how is she going to do just that?

Yang s.h.i.+ Han raises her brow haughtily at Mo Qi Qi, "You heard it yourself, Your Ladys.h.i.+p.

Chenqie

was not framing him."

"I don't believe you. My brother is not that kind of person," Mo Qi Qi retorts back. Although she has only meet Mo Cheng Xuan for a couple of times, she can tell that he is a very upright person. He is a rule-abider and is also very collected. There must be something wrong in this.

"Your brother admitted it himself, are you still trying to make excuses for him?" Yang s.h.i.+ Han mockingly laughs.

Mo Qi Qi looks at Yang s.h.i.+ Han in disdain, "

Bengong

wants to know something. If you were on your way to send soup to His Majesty, what were you doing in front of Feng Yang Palace? It was not in the way. Did you purposely went to Feng Yang Palace with ill-intention?"

"Please be mindful of your words, Your Ladys.h.i.+p. The palace is so big, it is up to

chenqie

to take whichever route

chenqie

wanted! There is no rule against that," Yang s.h.i.+ Han arrogantly retorts back.

Mo Qi Qi nods, "There is indeed no rule against that. You can pa.s.s by

bengong's

palace, but why did you stop when you saw

bengong's

brother? How did he end up spilling soup on you?"

"

Chenqie

was just kind-heartedly offering him the soup. It is okay if he wants to reject it, but he actually spilled it on

chenqie

! He was too disrespectful!"

Mo Qi Qi looks like she has finally caught onto something, "Oh, so it is like that? Hm. Let

bengong

tell you something, Yang Guifei.

Bengong's

brother is not the only one who does not dare to drink your soup, even

bengong

does not have the guts to! That was meant for His Majesty, if he drinks it, people will say that he was preposterous and took the emperor's things. That is a very big crime! Rather than bearing that crime, it is better if he simply spills it on you! At least he will only be called 'disrespectful'!"

"You—" Yang s.h.i.+ Han angrily says.

Mo Cheng Xuan suddenly speaks up, "This general did not spill it on accident. It simply spilled when this general was rejecting it."

Mo Qi Qi shrugs, "Did you hear that, Yang Meimei? My brother did not do it on purpose!"

Yang s.h.i.+ Han rebuts them, "Does saying he didn't do it on purpose automatically means that he really didn't do it on purpose? He is your brother, you will naturally believe him.

Bengong

does not! Even if

bengong

can let that go, he actually sneaked into

bengong's

chamber afterwards to peek at

bengong

while

bengong

was changing!

Bengong

is the emperor's most loved woman! If the emperor knows, he might even kill him!"

Mo Cheng Xuan earnestly says, "This is really this general's fault. This general will seek punishment in front of the emperor, now." He turns around to walk out.

Before Mo Qi Qi even gets to stop him, Yang s.h.i.+ Han shrieks at him angrily, "You stop right there! Do not bring this in front of His Majesty!"

Mo Cheng Xuan looks at her in confusion, "Why not? This general saw you while you were changing clothes, it is only right for this general to seek punishment in front of the emperor."

Mo Qi Qi tugs at his sleeves and whispers to him, "Have you gone mad,

Ge

? You may really lose your life. He will lose so much face if this matter spreads."

"Since I committed a blunder, it is only natural for me to bear the punishment," Mo Cheng Xuan says with a righteous air.

Mo Qi Qi wants to vomit blood. Can this brother not be so gentlemanly? Why couldn't he be as temperamental as their father? If he is like their father, Yang s.h.i.+ Han would be done long ago.

"What punishment? Yang s.h.i.+ Han clearly framed you! She has always been wary of my position. Since she cannot do anything to me, she decided to target my family members! She is too despicable, just wait and see how I handle her," Mo Qi Qi whispers back.

"Yang s.h.i.+ Han, my brother will not be interested in watching you change. You must have done something that made him rushed over," Mo Qi Qi glares at him.

Yang s.h.i.+ Han laughs mockingly, "Then go on and ask him whether or not he saw me undressing."

"I———-" Mo Cheng Xuan does not know what to say to that. He had indeed seen her without her dress.

Mo Qi Qi speaks up, "There is something wrong here. If my brother had really purposely peeked at you, why wouldn't you let him meet the emperor?"

Yang s.h.i.+ Han momentarily freezes before saying, "Do you think everyone is like you; shameless? If this matter spread, where will

bengong

put my face?

Bengong

wouldn't let him meet the emperor because

bengong

didn't want the matter to turn big!"

When Mo Cheng Xuan hears that, he nods in agreement, "You were right, Your Ladys.h.i.+p. This general lacked tact."

"

Ge

, why are you speaking up for her? She wants to punish you!" Mo Qi Qi tugs at her brother's arm.

Mo Cheng Xuan turns to her with an earnest face, "It is true, a woman's reputation is really important."

Mo Qi Qi slaps her own forehead, "You are too stupid! You usually looked so brilliant, yet why are you turning into a malleable fool when in front of Yang s.h.i.+ Han? Can't you see that Yang s.h.i.+ Han is taking advantage of the situation?"

"Please don't put it that way, Your Ladys.h.i.+p. It was indeed I, who was too impulsive," Mo Cheng Xuan says.

Mo Qi Qi is downright speechless now.

"Since General Mo is admitting fault, do not blame

bengong

for punis.h.i.+ng you."

Mo Qi Qi points at Yang s.h.i.+ Han angrily, "Do not step over the line, Yang s.h.i.+ Han! Do you really think my brother will not act against you!"

Yang s.h.i.+ Han says, "Are you threatening

chenqie

, Your Ladys.h.i.+p?

Chenqie

originally did not want to punish him too hard, he is still after all, a meritous official of Hua Chen Kingdom.

Bengong

does not wish to be hated by the common people.

Chenqie

originally wanted him to atone his mistakes by compensating

chenqie

with a brand new dress, but who would have thought that the empress would be rus.h.i.+ng over, accusing

chenqie

things. Now,

chenqie

is really angry. If the empress does not wish for

chenqie

to make this matter big, you should kneel and ask for forgiveness. Perhaps,

chenqie

will let go of your brother."

Seeing Yang s.h.i.+ Han purposely making things hard for his sister, Mo Cheng Xuan speaks up unhappily, "Yang Guifei, let the guilty one bear his own punishment. This has nothing to do with the empress, stop making things hard for her. You yourself are currently committing a big ethical blunder."

Yang s.h.i.+ Han angrily snaps at him, "Mo Cheng Xuan, you are the one who committed the crime, you have no right to speak at the moment! I just want her to kneel in front of me! If she doesn't, you two should not even dream of leaving this place."

"Don't cross the line, Yang s.h.i.+ Han," scolds Mo Qi Qi.

Yang s.h.i.+ Han haughtily tips her chin, "Don't cross the line? Even the empress knows that there is a line not to be crossed? Wasn't this something that you yourself used to do? You humiliated me in this manner as well, have you forgotten? If you don't want this matter to reach the emperor, you better do as I ask."

Mo Qi Qi scoffs at her, "You must be dreaming. Since it has reached this step, let's bring this matter to His Majesty."

"What is there to be bring to

zhen

?" speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao comes. Jun Qian Che is actually here.
