Chapter 184
“You should elaborate. I want to see how different your story is from what the Empress Dowager told me.”
Mo Shiwen lowered his head and hesitated. It was hard to imagine that a man like him used to be an emperor.
“That year, Zhao Yunqin and the Shi Family joined forces and caught me off guard. In the end, the Empress Dowager managed to take away my power. Not only was that not enough for her, but she forced me to hand over the Empress as well.”
“Hand over? Hand her over to whom?” Ye Mu instantly realized that this was the key point to the story!
Mo Shiwen stared at her. His gaze had turned gloomy as he said, “There was a person who had liked the Empress for a long time. In order to force the Empress to accept him, he conspired with the Empress Dowager at that time. He helped the Empress Dowager rebel against me and in exchange, the Empress Dowager gave him the woman he always wanted. He did not want power, but a woman, MY woman!”
Ye Mu’s heart jumped, “And then what happened?”
Mo Shiwen snorted, “What else could’ve happened? The Empress was tainted by someone else; how could she have the face to continue on living? So, she committed suicide!”
Ye Mu never expected the Empress to be the one to kill herself. Just as she wanted to ask him another question, someone behind her suddenly knocked her unconscious.
Ye Mu closed her eyes and fell to the ground. Mo Shiwen hurriedly walked over.
“Has she fainted? I heard that she’s very powerful. Are you sure she won’t wake up?”
The martial arts expert sent by the Wen Family snorted, “She has passed out. The rumors stating that she has strong martial arts are mere rumors. She is only a young girl; how can she do anything? Only people like you would believe in rumors!”
Mo Shiwen flushed red with rage at his comment.
The other party sneered and said, “I almost forgot. You do have some strengths, such as the ability to talk nonsense. That year, it was obviously you who gave your wife away to someone else in order to save your own life. After she was defiled, you felt humiliated and forced her to commit suicide. Yet when you told her the story, you acted like you had no choice but to do it!”
Mo Shiwen’s expression turned unsightly at the other party’s words.
“Stop talking.”
“Why do I have to stop talking?” The martial arts master didn’t fear Mo Shiwen’s identity as the Emperor’s father, “Don’t forget that you’re only my master’s dog. If you’re not obedient, then my master will tell the emperor how you treated the Empress that year! I am instructed to protect you, but you should also become smarter and stop seeking death!”
Mo Shiwen didn’t dare to talk back to the martial arts master even after being humiliated by him. He didn’t have a choice since the other party had his weakness in their hands. How much longer did he have to live like this?
He restrained his anger and said, “That damned Zhao Yunqin had told the girl everything. Isn’t the Wen Family going to do something about that? Wasn’t there an agreement between Zhao Yunqin and the Wen Family?”
The man frowned, “Zhao Yunqin wouldn’t have told the young girl everything so easily. You guys have been cheated by this girl!”
“Then this little girl had lied to me?!” Mo Shiwen was enraged.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
The other party sneered at him.
Murderous intent surged forth in Mo Shiwen’s eyes. It was fine that Zhao Yunqin had imprisoned him. He could endure the Shi Family’s threats. But Ye Mu was just a damned little girl! How dared to lie to him?! He almost told her everything!
“Can you give this girl to me?”
The martial arts master saw the ill intention beneath Mo Shiwen’s eyes and said, “If I give her to you, will you be able to hide her properly? Besides, she is a good bargaining chip for us against the emperor!”
