“Mu Yi wanted to punish a servant, and he treated him like this!”
“A servant?”
The emperor was stunned. He frowned hard and said, “Guard, summon General Sima now.”
He knew Sima Yan well, so he had to find out why Sima Yan would protect a servant.
The eunuch accepted the order, retreated, and soon left the imperial study room.
Within a few moments, a stern Sima Yan walked in from outside the imperial study room.
He smiled coldly after he saw Princess Qingluo kneeling in the imperial study room.
“General Sima…” The emperor’s face remained calm. “Earlier, Qingluo came to tell me that Mu Yi wanted to deal with a servant, and you stopped him?”
“Indeed.”
Sima Yan raised his head and smiled coldly. He glanced at Qingluo but did not deny it.
“Emperor, I also have something to say. You should do something with your son-in-law’s family. Every other day, they go outside to cause trouble. One day, they might just bring disaster to this kingdom.”
Qingluo sarcastically turned to Sima Yan. “General Sima, are you saying this is our fault? I’m telling you, this is not the fault of our emperor’s son-in-law’s family. That is Little Nine’s servant. When she sees Qingya and my mother, is that hard for her to kneel and respect them?”
The emperor felt his headache getting worse. How did it involve Little Nine, the Mu family’s member that was missing before?
“And… ” Qingluo continued, “She is Little Nine’s servant. Even if Little Nine sees me, she also has to call me ‘Mother’. Since her surname is Mu, her servant should also treat the Mu family as her master. My husband was just going to punish a servant, but is it considered disastrous to the kingdom? Hilarious! Do you think you have the right to say that?”
Sima Yan’s head also buzzed.
He did not understand how Dongfang Yu got involved with Little Nine of the Mu family?
Or perhaps…
Sima Yan froze.
Was Little Nine of the Mu family, the Ninth Emperor, the person they had been trying to find…
This stirred something Sima Yan, and the delight in his eyes spoke for itself.
“General Sima…” The emperor frowned at Sima Yan. “Do you have anything to say? Speak then.”
Sima Yan took a deep breath and held down his inner excitement. “Do you know who that servant is?”
The emperor froze for a moment and asked, “Who?”
“Dongfang Yu!”
‘Dongfang Yu!’
This name made the emperor’s body tremble, and he stood up so suddenly.
He moved so fast that all the inkstones on the table were swept to the floor.
He looked at Sima Yan in disbelief as if he was not aware of it. “Who did you just say that servant was?”
‘Dongfang Yu?
‘How could it be her?
‘People from the emperor’s son-in-law’s house has offended her?
‘Wait a minute…
‘Just now Qingluo mentioned Little Nine…’
The emperor trembled, and his gaze was filled with anger.
Of course, this anger was directed at Qingluo.
“Qingluo!”
The roar of anger caused Qingluo to tremble.
She also felt that the name ‘Dongfang Yu’ was somewhat familiar earlier but could not recall where she had heard it before, but…
Just as she was racking her brain for a memory, the emperor suddenly shouted, making her shudder in fear, and her gaze was also full of shock.
