Chapter 268
Scared (2)
On the other side, Zhao Yiqin truly didn’t recognize the danger surrounding her. It was not until she saw someone appear from the other side of the screen door,
“Esteemed Grandmother, did you have a good time?”
When Mo Linyuan appeared, Zhao Yiqin was absolutely naked. She truly never thought that, since the beginning, her misdemeanor was being watched by others!
“YOU! You’re working with them!”
Zhao Yiqin glared at Yue De. But he was already dressed as he hid behind Mo Linyuan. Afterwards quite a few people entered after Mo Linyuan. Zhao Yiqin was frightened to the point she screamed for someone to rescue her.
However, after she shouted a few times to no avail… her expression changed.
Mo Linyuan approached her with a smirk. At once, as if he didn’t find the woman before him attractive, he tsked his tongue in disappointment,
“The Emperor’s Grandmother is truly something. Here I was thinking you currently couldn’t eat or sleep from fear of the current situation. Yet, you were actually in the mood to seek the companion of a man?”
Zhao Yiqin didn’t have a single article of clothing to conceal her body, while she was restrained by two men. It was truly humiliating!
“Mo Linyuan! You think you can slander me like this? Nothing even happened between me and that man!”
“Nothing happened between you two at all?” Mo Linyuan waved his hand to signal someone to bring him a small incense. Mo Linyuan took it, before approaching Zhao Yiqin with it.
“Soon, what should or shouldn’t happen… will happen naturally.”
The moment Zhao Yiqin smelt the incense, she instantly felt something was amiss! Her heart trembled as she sensed all she had worked for could be ruined here, right now. People came and went outside… if she was to do something irrational… the consequences…”
“Y-You won’t prevail!” Even at this moment, Zhao Yiqin refused to give in, “So what if others discovered that I was together with this person? They can also tell immediately that I was poisoned! What’s more, you will be known as dishonest and unfilial for taking unfair advantage of your elders! I am still your grandfather’s wife! Aren’t you afraid of suffering the wrath of heaven’s retribution for this?!”
Mo Linyuan stepped forward. The green smoke floating around made his handsome face slightly malicious.
“Wasn’t it you who allowed people to spread rumors that I am not of royal blood? Then… regardless of how I decide to treat you, it wouldn’t be considered as mistreating my elders, isn’t that right?”
Zhao Yiqin panicked and started to struggle endlessly!
“Are you seriously not concerned about the royal family’s prestige? You’re not afraid of becoming a laughing stock?!”
Mo Linyuan’s expression remained calm, “Are you implying I will become a laughing stock because of you? I think you are misunderstanding something. You will make the imperial family lose prestige… not because of what you will do with Yue De… but rather, what you will do with the Silent Monk!”
“You-!” Zhao Yiqin’s eyes became big and round with disbelief, she was utterly speechless!
“What’s wrong?” Mo Linyuan’s eyes glinted wickedly, “You don’t like what I have arranged for you? The honorable Empress Dowager with the well known Buddhist Monk… This way, even the previous rumor you spread about me would be suppressed under this bigger scandal, no?”
“You Dare?! Mo Linyuan, you will not get away with this!” Zhao Yiqin was emotionally provoked! She struggled with all her might! The way she looked at Mo Linyuan, it was as if he was her worst enemy who was her father’s killer*!
(*???? literally someone’s enemy who killed his/her father. Can be assumed as the worstest of the worst of enemies).
