Chapter 1022: Cut Out Her Tongue

it with you."Mo Junyi blinked, "Why"He played with the sachet of incense, "Mother, this thing doesn't smell very strong. If I didn't put it to my nose, I wouldn't even realize it had a scent. How is...Seeing the growing anger in Zhao Si's eyes, the woman who had seemingly accidentally said the wrong thing lowered her head and dared not speak again.

But no one saw it, the moment she lowered her head, a flash of triumph crossed her eyes.

If An Xue Tang were here, she would recognize this person. She knew him.

This woman was Cheng Ru'er, the daughter of Cheng Yongying, the Minister of Punishment. She was a woman betrothed to Mo Yunjing by the Emperor of Tianba Kingdom.

But Mo Yunjing never took the emperor's marriage decree seriously.

Cheng Ru'er even went to the Beijiang camp to look for Mo Yunjing, but at that time she had been beaten by An Xuetang and was helpless.

These days, she wanted to get closer to Mo Yunjing and remind the emperor of the marriage he had once bestowed.

Yet her father had mentioned this to the Emperor, but the Emperor only told her to remain calm.

She could wait, but at her age, she couldn't be kept waiting.

Although the Emperor said that as long as she had the ability to trip up An Xuetang, even if it caused a commotion all the way to the Emperor himself, he would protect her.

Unfortunately, An Xue Tang spent several months in the capital, but she refused all banquets held in the city. Even if he really wanted to trip An Xue Tang up, there was simply no opportunity.

Now that she and the Northern Border King's matter isn't settled, this honorable Princess Six of Xuan Country shows up halfway. If she doesn't find a way to let the two of them fight a good death match, when will her chance come

……

Zhao Si at this moment was indeed distracted by Cheng Ruer's words, she couldn't help but think about what that woman looked like.

If she were less desirable, all these women hoping to curry favor with her would have already said something.

But their silence now filled her with a growing unease. Could it be that the country girl was actually rather attractive

Thinking of this, Zhao Si clenched her fists. She fell silent for a moment, then raised her head to scan the people at the table, and asked coldly, "Where is the North Border Princess"

When mentioning the Princess of Beijiang, the people at the table looked at each other in astonishment. With the current political climate uncertain, no one could say for sure who would ultimately rule the empire. Therefore, no one dared to speak freely about the princess, who was adored by the King of Beijiang.

However, there are some foolish people at this table. After hearing Zhao Si's question, a woman sitting beside Cheng Ruer said disdainfully, "Your Highness may not know, the North Border Princess is quite high and mighty. She has never attended any banquets and refuses all invitations to the North Border王府."

The people at the table saw that this woman was so bold, daring to speak ill of the Northern Border Princess in front of so many people. Their faces changed.

However, the Sixth Princess of Xuan Guo seemed very interested in this topic, so they didn't dare to stop her. After all, both the Sixth Princess of Xuan Guo and the Princess Consort of Bei Jiang were people they couldn't afford to offend.

Cheng Ru'er glanced deeply at the woman beside her, a barely perceptible sneer curling up at the corner of her mouth.

This woman she brought is her younger half-sister, Cheng Xia'er. This person isn't very bright and is usually only brought out to make herself look better by comparison.

Now that Cheng Xiaor is willing to act according to her own ideas, she is quite satisfied.

Zhao Si was indeed quite interested in the topic of An Xue Tang. At this moment, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Cheng Xia'er, suddenly asking, "Have you guys seen her"

Chenge Xia'er nodded. "I was lucky enough to have seen the North Border Princess's face on the street."

So, what does she actually look like

Cheng Xia'er is indeed a foolish person. Although she knows very well that An Xue Tang's beauty is breathtaking and surpasses Zhao Si in every way, she still said, "The Northern Border Princess is just so-so. In my opinion, she is definitely not as good-looking as the Sixth Princess."

"...""...

Everyone present twitched their mouths.

I really don't know who brought such a brainless person here.

That's embarrassing.

However, the person who brought Cheng Xiaor to this wasn't impressed at all. Cheng Ruor wished she would say even more bad things about An Xuetang.

When Zhao Si heard Cheng Xia'er say that the northern frontier princess was inferior to her, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. However, she still asked, "What is the northern frontier princess like This princess has heard that she is just a woman from the countryside"

Cheng Xia'er suddenly remembered the time when she and Cheng Ruer saw An Xue Tang on the street.

That day, she was drawn to the stunning beauty of the woman from afar. At that time, she didn't know that the woman was the princess of Beijiang. She was still curious about when such a captivatingly beautiful person appeared in the capital.

It was later her elder sister, Cheng Ru'er, who told her. She said that man was the Northern Border Princess from the countryside. The mysterious princess who never accepted any banquet invitations.

She had to admit, seeing the radiant Northern Border Princess like that, she felt a pang of jealousy.

So, a sense of dissatisfaction arose in her heart towards such a perfect person. In her view, how could a country girl possess such stunning beauty and impeccable demeanor.

At this moment, when Zhao Si mentioned that the Northern Border Princess came from the countryside, she, out of jealousy, uttered a sour remark:

"Yes, that Northern Border Princess is just a country bumpkin. If it weren't for her luck in saving the Northern Border King, how could she possibly have become the princess"

"……"

Cheng Xiaor's words caused a stir. Everyone present looked up at her in disbelief, their expressions changing drastically.

This woman really doesn't want to live, does she!

As if by coincidence, the words Cheng Xia'er spoke were overheard by Mo Yunjing, who had just entered the main hall.

Mo Yunjing had deep internal energy, even though Cheng Xiaor's voice was already very soft, he could still hear it.

This person's words inadvertently touched upon his sore spot, and he couldn't bear to hear them.

Everyone saw Mo Yunjing walk in directly and dared not make a sound.

At this moment, Zhao Si also saw Mo Yunjing. She was instantly delighted, she got up abruptly, not caring at all what the occasion was, and excitedly walked towards Mo Yunjing, "Jing gege."

Mò Yúnjǐng's expression was extremely cold, his eyes as if he couldn't see her at all. Faced with her call, Mò Yúnjǐng naturally pretended not to hear.

Cheng Ru'er finally saw Mo Yunjing at this moment. The hand she had placed under the table clenched tightly. It had been some time since she had seen King Beijang.

This man is even more charming than before.

Such an outstanding man, how could An Xue Tang be worthy of him!

Just when everyone thought Mo Yunjing was going to pay his respects to the Emperor, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said to Yunliu, who was following behind him, "Cut out her tongue."

Yunliu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the woman beside Cheng Ru'er. He immediately understood, and he respectfully bowed, "Yes, I understand."

Before everyone could figure out what was happening, Yunliu walked up to Cheng Xiaor and without a word, lifted her up. so she left long ago.""Gone""Qiyuan's brow furrowed in rare displeasure, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "Your Highness, do you know where she went"An Xuetang shook her head. "This con...
