PNB Chapter 52 Lock her up for me again!
Chapter 52 Lock her up for me again!
The next morning, Su Mowan was woken up early.
She was a little surprised.
In the past, she would always wake up on her own, and then Murong Jing would sit quietly to the side. This time, however, he actually woke her up for the first time ever.
After she sat up, Murong Jing called out to the outside, and four maids immediately came in carrying things.
Su Mowan looked at the glittering gold hairpins and pearl ornaments and found them extremely dazzling. Then she looked at the heavy silk clothes and immediately felt deflated.
Even as she reached the palace gates, her expression remained one of 'overwhelmed'.
After getting out of the carriage, Murong Jing glanced at her indifferently, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and coldly instructed, "You'll be seeing Father and Mother soon, so be more alert!"
Su Mowan was preoccupied with her restaurant and had no energy left, so she gave a perfunctory reply.
Following behind, Yinshuang seemed to have her worries addressed, and whispered, "Consort Su, please rest assured, there will be no problem with Qinghe."
"..."
Su Mowan straightened her clothes and followed.
This was her second time here, and Su Mowan had lost the novelty of the last time. She kept her eyes fixed straight ahead until she arrived at the entrance of Jingyang Palace, when she realized something was amiss.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to see the Emperor?"
Murong Jing gave her a disdainful look: "Father is right here."
Su Mowan felt somewhat puzzled. Emperor Moyao had summoned Murong Jing for the assassination case, but shouldn't they discuss the case in an office, such as the Imperial Study?
It wasn't until they entered the main hall of Jingyang Palace that Su Mowan truly felt a chill run down her spine.
Emperor Mo Yao sat on the throne, and his eyes lit up as soon as the two entered.
"Daughter-in-law! Oh my, I've been waiting for you!"
"..."
Su Mowan immediately stopped in her tracks, thinking to herself that Emperor Moyao had gone mad again.
Seeing that Emperor Moyao was so excited that he was about to stand up, the Empress sitting next to him quickly pressed him down, gave him a sharp look, and then smiled at Su Mowan: "It's good that you're here. Don't stand, please sit down."
Su Mowan forced a smile.
She tilted her head and glanced at Murong Jing. When he returned her gaze, she immediately pushed him to a chair to the side.
Emperor Mo Yao's face lit up like a chrysanthemum, and before she could even sit down, he spoke again: "Daughter-in-law, the reason I called you here is to ask if your injuries have healed?"
As he spoke, he glared at Murong Jing and said, "Teach this little brat a lesson while you're at it!"
"..."
The little brat remained expressionless, pretending not to hear what he said.
Su Mowan heard it all clearly: "I summoned you here this time... Damn it, it was Emperor Moyao who specifically summoned her?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm all better now."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard Murong Jing cough softly beside her.
But, it's too late.
Emperor Mo Yao immediately glared at his son and roared, "Your daughter-in-law has been healed for a long time? You little brat, didn't you say you were recovering from your injuries? How dare you lie to your old man!"
"..."
Su Mowan realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately turned to look at Murong Jing, who gave her a 'foolish' look.
Su Mowan felt very wronged.
Why didn't he tell the truth beforehand? If he had told the truth earlier and coordinated things earlier, none of this would have happened!
The Empress coughed again.
She retorted, "Your Majesty, didn't you just want to see your daughter-in-law? Now that your son has brought her to you, why are you still complaining so much?"
Murong Jing remained silent, his face cold.
Emperor Mo Yao snorted, deciding to let the little brat off for the time being. He turned to his daughter-in-law and asked with concern, "Daughter-in-law, are you sure your injuries have healed?"
Su Mowan smiled and nodded: "There's no problem."
"That's fine, that's fine!"
Emperor Mo Yao laughed heartily, then added, "By the way, I heard you had a miscarriage a few days ago. Did you take the medicine the Empress sent you?"
"..."
The fetus is moving?!
Su Mowan was completely confused.
She quickly figured out who had done it, and immediately gritted her teeth, then smiled and said, "His Majesty must have misheard; it wasn't—"
“Father, don’t worry. I have someone watching her drink it every day.”
Murong Jing suddenly interrupted her.
After saying that, he glanced at her indifferently, a warning in his eyes.
Hearing Murong Jing's words, Emperor Mo Yao was satisfied and chuckled, "That's good! Have Physician Qin prescribe a few more doses later, so take them back and eat more!"
Su Mowan: "..."
The Empress couldn't stand it anymore and pinched Emperor Moyao: "Your Majesty, what are you saying? Can you take too much medicine?"
Emperor Mo Yao hissed.
Seeing the Empress glaring at him, he smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Alright, alright, you can't take too much medicine, so let's eat instead. You can eat more food then, right?"
He added at the end, "I've been so busy talking that I can't let my grandson go hungry!"
"..."
Su Mowan was too lazy to even roll her eyes.
This Emperor Mo Yao is truly pitiful. He's overjoyed to the point of delirium, but unfortunately, he still doesn't know where his 'grandson' is.
Su Mowan secretly glanced at the still calm Murong Jing, and sure enough, the words "little brat" were not wrong.
It was around noon, a bit early for lunch, but Emperor Moyao was in a good mood and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the table to be set.
Murong Jing suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"Father, where is Xiao Qi?"
Emperor Mo Yao's radiant expression immediately darkened. He snorted and said unhappily, "Don't mention her to me. It makes me angry!"
The Empress also looked unhappy, clearly indicating that this topic was inappropriate.
But Murong Jing had no intention of shutting up.
“Last time, when Xiao Qi ran into my residence, it was Mo Wan who sent her back to the palace.”
Su Mowan suddenly shuddered.
There are two reasons.
First, Murong Jing actually called her by her name.
Second, this guy is clearly framing me!
He was the one who brought the person back!
However, Su Mowan dared not utter a sound at this moment and could only silently watch the show unfold.
Emperor Mo Yao frowned, surprised, and said, "Daughter-in-law? So it was you who sent the Seventh Princess back? Did the child cause you any trouble?"
Su Mowan gave an awkward smile.
"No, the Seventh Princess is naturally cheerful and very cute."
Emperor Mo Yao snorted: "It's good that she didn't cause any trouble. Otherwise, I would have locked her up for another ten or eight days and see if she would dare to act so recklessly next time!"
This means that the Seventh Princess has been confined and restricted to her quarters by Emperor Moyao.
Su Mowan looked at Murong Jing and saw that he frowned slightly, so she took the liberty of speaking up: "I wonder why Your Majesty has imprisoned the Seventh Princess?"
"Locking him up is considered lenient!"
Emperor Mo Yao frowned deeply. "This child is so disobedient! He actually ran out of the palace to beat people up! He's completely lawless!"
After thinking for a moment, he added, "They all learned it from that little brat! Neither of them can give us a moment's peace!"
"..."
Su Mowan suddenly felt that Murong Jing was also quite tragic.
Murong Jing said, "Father is mistaken. Xiao Qi did not hit Shangguan Qingqi, the son of the Right Chancellor, but Tang Minzhi, the son of the Minister of Personnel."
Emperor Moyao was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.
"You can even hit the wrong person? You're spineless! Lock her up for another ten days!"
"..."
