Chapter 2017: Stunningly Beautiful

gyun Pavilion seems to have changed owners, so he's not sure if Han Yun can still help.Zhou Zhiyao pursed his lips. Seeing Zhao Li remain silent, he could only speak again, "Your Highness, now in Tian...And Mo Yunjing, after making his move, now shielded An Xuetang behind him. His deep, enigmatic eyes gave nothing away about his current state of mind.

The emperor stared at him, and he stared back at the emperor.

In Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's eyes, there seemed to be no distinction between lord and subject. These two people didn't treat him, the emperor, as anything special at all.

The emperor was stunned in place, without another word. In a short while, both Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang had noticed the strangeness in the emperor's eyes.

A strange, blood-red flash certainly appeared in the emperor's eyes.

After seeing the emperor's eyes, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang subconsciously looked at each other.

As Fengming guessed, the emperor has been bewitched by Zhi'er and is now under her control.

Solving a venomous curse is not an easy feat. Even Feng Ming, who has studied venom for many years, can't solve it, let alone ordinary people.

The emperor's state was nothing more than a facade, An Xuetang didn't believe he was being controlled.

If Zhi'er really had him under control, how could he possibly say such childish and mindless things right now

Could it be that Zhi'er's sorcery is this potent

Can it still intermittently control a person And can the controlled person not notice anything abnormal

A trace of confusion still lingered in her mind, and before An Xue Tang could figure it out, the door to the Imperial Study was suddenly pushed open.

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang both turned their heads to see Zhi'er walking in with a cold face.

Zhaier's cold eyes first glanced indifferently at Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang, her gaze finally falling on the emperor's face.

Seeing the emperor turn red with rage and tremble all over, Zhi'er's eyes gradually filled with killing intent.

She walked up to the emperor, raising her foot and gently placing her hand on his arm. She soothed him in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm here now. Let me handle what comes next, alright"

After she said this, the emperor was indeed soothed. His slightly trembling body gradually returned to normal.

From An Xue Tang's point of view, she could clearly see that the emperor was somewhat different from his previous appearance.

Common people probably wouldn't notice the difference between them.

But An Xuetang was good at observing subtle expressions, so she could clearly detect that although the emperor's eyes seemed bright, there was still a hint of dullness hidden within them.

This must be what the emperor is like after being controlled. Before Chi-er arrived, he was still the emperor he used to be.

After Zhi'er entered the imperial study, the emperor was truly under her control.

Otherwise, with the emperor's temperament, how could he possibly extinguish the anger in his heart in such a short time

Chi'er didn't care what Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang thought. After helping the emperor sit down, she turned to look at the broken sword on the ground, then raised her head to look at Mo Yunjing, and spoke in a sinister voice:

What does King of the North intend to do To draw weapons in front of the Emperor is a great disrespect. Does King of the North not care about this Or... is it that King of the North simply doesn't take the Emperor seriously, so he fears nothing and can do whatever he wants

What Zhi'er said was nothing but an attempt to put a treasonous hat on Mo Yunjing.

But An Xuetang didn't buy it. As Zhi'er spoke, a mocking smile curved the corner of An Xuetang's lips. She turned her gaze to the emperor, who sat expressionless on his chair. With a cold snort, she raised her head and looked at Zhi'er, her voice as clear and chilling as ice:

"There are no outsiders here, so you needn't put on such a show, woman! We both know what's really going on with the emperor. Why bother putting on a performance for us" 芝兒, don't you find this tiring "

Zi'er raised an eyebrow and, ever since An Xue Tang's birth, she had set her sights on her, her gaze sweeping over An Xue Tang with a veiled meaning.

"After a moment, he spoke, "The princess of the Northern Border is indeed a beauty. No wonder she captivated the King of the Northern Border so much that he'd do anything for her. It makes sense that he would choose to risk everything for such a captivating woman."

"Speaking of which, her expression suddenly became meaningful, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. 'After all, they're both shallow father and son, looking at people only by their appearance. If it weren't for the North Border Princess's face, this position of North Border Princess probably wouldn't be yours.'"

An Xuetang:：“……” Is this person okay

Zhi'er wants to sow discord between her and Mo Yunjing at this time, it's simply ridiculous.

I don't know whether she is ridiculous or foolish.

She now curled her lips into a smile and wasn't angry at all about what Zhi'er had said, even continuing the conversation, "If my prince only looked at faces, I'd be very fortunate, after all... my face is this beautiful."

"Speaking of which, she also gave Chi'er a look of utter disdain and spoke in a contrived manner, "Oh, it's not like some people, even if they try their best to imitate the words and deeds of beauties, and use every means to make themselves look like certain beauties, they still can't capture a man's heart. It's truly pathetic."

"Be outrageous! An Xuetang, shut your mouth for me!"

Zhi'er wanted to maintain composure, but An Xue Tang's words struck a chord deep within her heart.

To know, the most foolish thing she had done in her life was to try every means to imitate Mo Yunjing's mother.

It's a pity that no matter how much she tries to resemble that woman, the emperor's eyes will not linger on her for any longer.

Even if she had made herself identical to the woman in every way, the emperor would always see her only as a substitute.

This incident has always been a stain on her life. Now that An Xue Tang has spoken about it so openly, she can no longer maintain composure.

At this moment, her eyes turned bloodshot red, and she glared fiercely at An Xue Tang.

If those eyes could kill, An Xuetang would have died countless times over.

Seeing her fierce and menacing look, An Xuetang's mouth twitched upwards slightly, and her mood instantly improved.

It feels so good to see the enemy jump around like that.

However, Xue Tang didn't want to let it go. She now stared at Zhi'er with a smirk and continued, "Oh my, what's wrong Are you getting angry"

Could it be that I was wrong Wasn't the woman the Emperor had kept hidden in the palace for many years, out of sight from everyone, Zhi Guifei

"You!" Zhi'er clenched her fists, just about to retort, but An Xuetang didn't give her a chance. She spoke again before Zhi'er could:

"Oh, that's right. The woman who's hidden away and can't be seen might not really be you. After all, the mother of my young master Jing is so beautiful, and you...with your looks, how could you possibly compare to her Well, I apologize. Seems like I got it wrong."ted to perform CPR on the child herself, but Ning'er saw her intentions and immediately took over, "Princess Consort, let me do it."An Xuetang didn't care who came, she just thought that when Ning'er...
