Bab 222: Emperor Yong’an’s Scheme

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Slapping sounds echoed in the silent surroundings, sending shivers down the spines of the palace maids and eunuchs hiding behind the walls of Ci Ning Palace. Seeing that Guo Mo Mo's face was swollen like a pig, Emperor Yong'an lazily raised his hand.

Qiu Yuanbo saw this and said, "That is enough."

Following his words, the imperial guard stepped aside, but the other two imperial guards still held on Guo Mo Mo's arms. She raised her head to look at Emperor Yong'an in confusion, with tears in her eyes. Guo Mo Mo opened her lips to speak, but her words were unclear because her cheeks were swollen, and saliva flowed from the corners of her lips.

"Your Majesty, what crime did this servant commit to deserve such punishment?" Guo Mo Mo asked angrievely.

It was not Emperor Yong'an who answered her, but Qiu Yuanbo. He smiled and said, "Guo Mo Mo, you dare to block His Majesty's way, and you still dare ask what your crime is?"
