Chapter 710: Beating

rything. The Empress began to panic. She forced her trembling hand and pointed at Zhu Xing:"Lord Zhu, this is my palace. Who gave you the audacity to run amok here"Zhu Xing arched his hands, "Your Maj...Hearing the mention of Mo Junyi, Mo Yunjing's expression immediately turned serious.

He didn't respond to Fengming immediately. Fengming knew that this matter wasn't something that could be discussed lightly with Mo Yunjing, so she wasn't in a hurry for his answer.

After a moment of silence, Mo Yunjing spoke, “This King has sent a message to Yun Yi and the others. Whether or not you want to return to the capital is your own choice, Zi Ling.”

No matter what choice Mo Junyi makes, he will respect and will not interfere.

Feng Ming sighed, “When you sent that person to the northern frontier, you should have considered this possibility. Now that it has come to pass, it is not surprising. I just didn't expect his ambition to be exposed so quickly.”

Mo Yunjing didn't say anything more. After a while, he raised his black eyes and looked at Feng Ming, "Was it the Qingyun Pavilion that gave you the message"

“That’s natural.” Mentioning Qingyun Pavilion, Feng Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "I have to admit, the strength of Qingyun Pavilion is not to be underestimated."

By befriending Qingyun Pavilion so well, once he leaves, perhaps Han Yun will remember their past and lend a hand to his family's A Tang when necessary.

In this world, the only thing he couldn't let go of was Ah Tang.

No one knows what Mo Yunjing and Feng Ming talked about in the study. They didn't return to Jingtang Garden until An Xuetang had finished preparing the crab dishes.

Seeing the somewhat heavy expressions of the two, An Xue Tang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Ajing, Brother, this expression of yours makes me think that you don't like the crab I made."

Mo Yunjing's lips curled into a slight smile. "No."

Feng Ming then raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if what A Tang did wasn't tasty, would you see how I and the King of Beijang dare to say anything"

"Oh! What do you mean, elder brother Are you saying that you didn't like the things I made before And that you had to endure it without saying anything"

Feng Ming let out a few hearty laughs and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, A Tang. Your skillful hands bring to life a kaleidoscope of colors, and with just a large spoon, you stir-fry the sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors. What you make is truly delicious, leaving me with an endless aftertaste."

"... "

This rainbow talk instantly made An Xue Tang chuckle, "Alright alright, stop flattering me, you two better wash your hands quickly and try this crab."

At the same time, Liu Lan, who was still in Chenyuan, was whipping a maid beside her with a whip.

No one knows what this maidservant did to incur the wrath of Consort Liu, who lashed out at her with such ferocity for a full fifteen minutes.

The maidservant couldn't hold on any longer and nearly fainted. She collapsed to the ground, weakly reminding her, "My lady, this servant... this servant can't take it anymore."

After that, she didn't cry or shout, as if she had become accustomed to being beaten by Empress Liu over the days.

As expected, the maidservant fainted soon after.

Liu Lan then reluctantly dropped the whip in her hand. She looked at the maids beside her and said coldly, “Drag her away and find an imperial physician to take a look at her. Don't let her die.”

Before these maids could even speak, Liu Lan continued to warn harshly, "Remember, get some silver for the imperial physician. As for what happens in this courtyard, I certainly don't want it spread outside. Otherwise, your fate will be just like hers!"

Several maidservants instantly knelt in fear. One of them stammered, "Your Majesty, this... This is the Northern Border Prince's Manor. There... There is no imperial physician."

"!!"

It wasn't until the maidservant spoke that Liu Lan realized she was no longer in the imperial palace. She was in the Beijang Wangfu, with no imperial physicians available.

After some thought, Liu Lan suddenly narrowed her eyes and pointed to a maidservant. "You, go tell the Princess of Beijang that this palace is unwell and needs to see a doctor. Ask her to prepare a carriage for this palace, and also several skilled martial arts guards."

As for Liu Lan's words, the maidservant naturally dared not say no. She replied with "Yes" and quickly got up to pass on the message.

And Liu Lan turned to the maidservant beside her, "You two, find a plain set of clothes for this palace. This palace is going to wear them. By the way, did you bring the human skin masks I asked you to bring"

Two maidservants quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the human skin mask has arrived."

Liu Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression clearly becoming more excited. However, she still roared at the two maids, "What are you waiting for Hurry up and prepare! Do you want me to serve you instead"

"I dare not!"

The two maids were terrified, their bodies trembling. They scrambled to their feet and hurried about preparing things.

The more she saw the fear in her maidservants' eyes, the greater Liu Lan's sense of superiority became. This kind of cruel treatment of others gave her an extreme sense of satisfaction.

An Xuetang was happily eating crab when she saw the maidservant by Liu Lan's side approach. Her brow furrowed instantly, and her mood soured.

Because Liu Lan's maidservant came, it meant Liu Lan would stir up trouble again and cause her headaches.

And she didn't understand why Liu Lan insisted on staying at their Bei Jiang Wangfu. The emperor wasn't there, after all, and that Mo Yunze, wanting to break into Bei Jiang Wangfu to find her for a tryst, wouldn't be easy!

So, what is Liu Lan's real purpose for staying here!

The maid knelt before An Xuetang, describing Liu Lan's demands. An Xuetang then thought about something, letting out a cold snort and saying something with a veiled meaning:

"So, she Liu Lan chose to stay, it seems she hatched this plan. It appears this concubine underestimated her."ang furrowed her brows, she didn't know why, but she was becoming increasingly uneasy. "Han Yun, could you please take the letter and portrait to Youlan City in person For some reason, these past few...
