âThatâs right. It is not Qingyaâs fault. It must be a misunderstanding. It is Little Nine. It is all her doing!â
This sentence made the emperorâs head hurt. His face was pale, and his gaze was filled with panic.
This... How did this relate to Little Nine again?
âMother!â Mu Yi shouted in a deep voice. âThis is the imperial study room. You must respect the emperor and not shout like this.â
His mother was used to being arrogant outside. Now, inside the imperial study room, she had still not changed. It was really... Humiliating to him.
Fortunately, the emperor at the moment was focused on Old Lady Muâs sentence about Little Nine, so he overlooked this old ladyâs rudeness.
He raised his head and looked straight at Sima Yan questioningly.
âEmperor...â Sima Yan kneeled and smiled bitterly. âIt is what you think. This matter has something to do with Maiden Mu. Otherwise, I would not have come...â
The emperor felt weak and could not stand up straight.
âRelated to Little Nine?
These words sounded like a thunderclap exploding in the emperorâs heart.
He tried to protect himself left and right, but he could not defend himself?
âSima Yan, tell me immediately about the situation!â
He sounded stern and angry.
Prince Min looked at the emperor in surprise and frowned.
âWhy did the emperorâs attitude change as soon as he heard that it was related to Little Nine?
âDoes the old emperor have interest in Little Nine? Which is why Sima Yan said such words before?â
The more Prince Min thought about it, the more likely that seemed to be the case. His face darkened.
Sima Yan smiled coldly. âMu Qingya gave poison to Young Lady Liu Lan and fooled her by telling her that Little Nine bullied Mu Qingya. So Liu Lan was upset and went to Little Nine to settle scores. As a result, she was beaten up by Little Nine.â
Perhaps, because he was too angry, Sima Yan did not even address her as Noble Lady, but instead, he called Mu Qingya by her name.
âLittle Nine kicked Liu Lan, who had been poisoned. Meanwhile, Mu Qingya ran to Prince Minâs Manor and brought Prince Min.â
âPrince Min did not verify the truth and said that Little Nine killed Liu Lan. Even that physician of the emperorâs son-in-lawâs manor also concluded that Liu Lan had received a heavy blow before she fell to the ground, concealing the fact that she was poisoned...â
âIf I wasnât there, I am afraid that this would have gone out of hand. Prince Min is afraid that Liu Lanâs life can not be saved on the spot, but fortunately, Little Nine has a kind heart. She saved her. Yet, after Liu Lan woke up, she also pointed the fault to Little Nine and scolded her. Even more, these people still assert that it must be Little Nineâs fault!â
He stated all the things that happened then.
The emperorâs face changed dramatically after hearing these words. His face darkened.
Even the anger in his eyes grew intense.
How could he not be angry? The emperorâs son-in-lawâs family was not allowed to go out to prevent them from causing trouble, but he did not know that these people would still try to find trouble with the Ninth Emperor.
âHad I known this, I should not have just confined you. I should have put all of you in prison or even killed you so that you would not cause trouble!â
Mu Qingya froze. She looked up at the emperor blankly.
âGrandfather wants to beat and kill me for Little Nine?â
