Following Emperor Xuanwu's question, the Imperial Study immediately quieted down and did not emit another sound.

He Gu who was standing in front of the table acted as if he did not exist.

After a long while, the Eighth Prince who was kneeling in the middle finally moved his lips. His body was stiff, yet he kowtowed deeply, his voice carrying an imperceptible tremble. His hollow voice resounded within the hall. "Your son understands …"

Before he could say the word 'sin', he was interrupted by someone beside him.

"Weinong knows her wrongs and should not have pushed the Sixth Prince and the Tenth Prince on the spur of the moment. Fortunately, the two princes were in pain, but they didn't bleed, otherwise Weinong would probably be dead for sure. Although Weinong did not know about the identity of the two princes, it is true that she lost her composure in a hurry.

Mo Weinong said, and also kowtowed to the Emperor.

Eighth Prince turned his head to look at the person beside his in shock. He was anxious, didn't she already know not to admit to anything?

He anxiously tried to defend her, but his small hand was lightly pinched by Mo Weinong.

His fingertips felt soft and warm, and when Eighth Prince opened his mouth, there was nothing he could say.

On the other hand, Sixth Prince and the Tenth Prince were also startled for a moment at first, and then a look of ecstasy flashed on their faces.

Who would have thought that right after they cried for a few sentences, royal father would admit his guilt without asking. What was this Female Envoy Mo called? They had originally thought that she would fight to the death, but who knew that it would be so easy?

When the Tenth Prince heard that Mo Weinong wanted to plead guilty, he couldn't help but want to add fuel to the fire by adding fuel to the fire.

However, the Sixth Prince at his side pulled at him, telling him to stay silent.

The Tenth Prince pursed his lips and once again lowered his head.

However, even after Mo Weinong had pleaded guilty for a long time, the Emperor Xuanwu did not react at all.

After a long time, he finally heard Emperor Xuanwu's sneering voice, "Female Envoy Mo, do you really think we don't dare to punish you?"

Confess?

His words sounded good, but this confession was not sincere at all.

While saying that he was wrong, he also said that he didn't know their identities. As they talked, they pushed the princes aside, while explaining that the two princes weren't injured at all.

Was this a confession?

"Weinong doesn't dare, after all, the Emperor is an enlightened ruler. If Weinong made a mistake, why wouldn't the Emperor dare to punish him? " Mo Weinong's head was still pressed against the ground, not even moving.

Emperor Xuanwu was angered to the point that she almost laughed.

She really did have a lot of guts to mock and ridicule him.

"Get up and come in for me." Emperor Xuanwu suddenly stood up from his chair, coldly looked at Mo Weinong, and turned to enter the side hall.

Mo Weinong secretly curled her lips, and finally raised her head. She gave the Eighth Prince a comforting look, then stood up and walked towards the side hall.

The two Sixth Prince s who were still kneeling on the ground were stunned, they looked puzzledly at the figure that was walking far away.

What, what's going on? Not only was royal father not angry, he even called someone in by himself?

This had never happened before.

The two of them could not help but look towards He Gu who was still standing there, wanting to find out some of the Emperor Xuanwu's intentions from him.

It was just that He Gu lowered his head, and was like an old monk meditating, he was simply unable to receive Sixth Prince's gaze.

However, Mo Weinong followed Emperor Xuanwu into the side hall, and saw him turn her head with an ashen face.

"You don't need to worry about eighth brother's matters. This time, I won't bother with you. Go back obediently and be your Royal Female Envoy."

Mo Weinong pursed her lips but did not say a word.

"Did you hear that?" Emperor Xuanwu frowned, "Don't really think that just because you are the last disciple the old man accepted before his death that we will take care of you. If you really do not know what to do, we will not protect you."

Mo Weinong still had her head lowered, no one knew what she was thinking.

"Speak." Emperor Xuanwu's face became even uglier.

"When I was three years old, I started to know things."

Emperor Xuanwu was stunned, he looked at her in puzzlement, what was he trying to say?

However, Mo Weinong seemed to be talking to herself as she laughed and said, "I know that I am the daughter of the Second Master Mo, that I am the daughter of the Wanning Marquis Mansion, that I have a father, a grandmother, an older sister and a older brother. But, I would rather not have it, I would rather be just a maid from Wanning Marquis Mansion, at the very least, I could do some work with my own hands, get a month's worth of money, and buy some food to fill my stomach. "

"At the very least, those so-called elder brothers and sisters would not point at my nose and call me a bastard and beat me, order me around, and humiliate me for no reason at all. Even the treatment of a servant girl is not as good as being beaten up or scolded by her. It's because she did something wrong and angered the Master, but I just stood quietly at the side. No, if I hide in the corner of my room, I would be found out and given a beating. "

"The thing that impressed me the most is when I was five years old. Winter is especially cold, I'm very hungry, go to the kitchen but there is not even a cold steamed bun. I wanted to be hungry all night, but I was used to it. But when I got back to my room, my cousins were there waiting for me, saying that I had been a thief and had stolen from them and wanted to search. "A cold day..."

He did not finish his sentence, but it was clear.

Since he wanted to search her, naturally he had to take off his clothes. In such a cold weather, he had to strip her of all her clothes. Not only did he wrongly accuse her, he even deeply engraved this humiliation into her bones.

Even if Emperor Xuanwu didn't ask, he could still tell how helpless she was back then.

His face was gloomy, so dark that it seemed as if water would drip out of it.

"Then I fell into the river and was rescued. The old lady said that I made a big fuss out of nothing, and told me to drag my sickly body to the ancestors to repent. She said that the few cousins were just playing around with me, that I didn't know better, and that I had to make a big fuss to make the entire Marquis Mansion lose face, and that I really didn't have a mother to teach me … " Even though the current Mo Weinong had never personally experienced such things, the original owner had clearly experienced it.

Thus, when she spoke it out, Mo Weinong could also feel the deepest, deepest, most resentful, and most sorrowful emotion that came from within her heart.

Emperor Xuanwu's face became even more unsightly, and he sneered, "Wanning Marquis Mansion is simply filled with the miasma of smoke, if that old pious grandpa is so ruthless, I really deserve to die."

"Senior apprentice-brother." Mo Weinong however raised her head and looked fixedly at Emperor Xuanwu, "You were able to fight for me here, pity my past, and scold the old lady for a crime that deserves ten thousand deaths. Then, what's the difference between what Eighth Prince encountered today and what I did back then? The questions you asked him in the great hall earlier, are they any different than those you heard from the old lady? "

"You …"
