After Mo Xiao finished speaking, the ministers finally felt relieved.

The ground outside the gate of Yinghua Palace is paved with white marble, which is flat, smooth... and hard.

After kneeling for a while, their knees began to ache. They couldn't imagine what it would be like if they had to kneel for two hours.

However, none of them dared to say a word.

Mo Xiao's temper has improved a lot over the past year, and he smiles more often, which makes them gradually forget the thundering methods used by this emperor when he first ascended the throne.

Just now, when His Majesty glanced down at them from a high position, they all recalled the appearance of His Majesty when he first ascended the throne. Therefore, they could not resist, let alone dare to resist.

Standing before them was a tyrant.

After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he glanced at Minister Lin beside him and said calmly, "The Ministry of Revenue is busy, why are you wasting time here?"

Minister Lin shuddered and said immediately, "I will go to the Ministry of Revenue now."

After saying that, he stood up, patted his robe, and ran away.

Mo Xiao looked at Zhou Chen again and said coldly, "What exactly is going on with Tuoba Xuan's painting? I asked you to check it out. Have you found out?"

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and said quickly: "I will go to see Tuoba Xuan and make sure to clarify the matter of the painting."

After saying that, he stood up and ran away.

After the two men ran away, Mo Xiao withdrew his gaze, pulled Lin Jiuqing and turned to walk towards Yinghua Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Mo Chengning came over from behind the door and tightly grasped Lin Jiuqing's other hand. It was obvious that he had been standing behind this door just now, but he just didn't come out.

After entering the hall, Mo Chengning let out a sigh of relief and said through gritted teeth, "Those shameless people actually wanted to sell my mother out of the pass. I'm so angry!"

He looked up at Lin Jiuqing and said, "Mother, don't be afraid. I am here, and no one can send you away."

Mo Xiao on the side reached out and patted Mo Chengning on the head: "What do you mean you are here? Where do you put me?"

Mo Chengning pointed outside the door and said, "Then you should deal with those shameless old men outside first."

Mo Xiao: "..."

Lin Jiuqing squeezed Mo Chengning's hand and said, "Okay, I know you are angry, but you can't embarrass your father like this."

How would the emperor look upon the world if he killed so many ministers for no reason? Although he was known as a tyrant, he was not the kind of tyrant who imposed heavy taxes and took no lives.

Mo Chengning also knew that this was not feasible, but he was just angry.

After hearing what Lin Jiuqing said, Mo Chengning snorted, obviously still angry.

Mo Xiao sneered, pulled Lin Jiuqing to the side and sat down, and said to Lin Jiuqing: "Don't worry about him, just wait until he calms down."

Lin Jiuqing glanced at Mo Chengning, and seeing that he looked angry, he could only smile helplessly.

"You made them kneel for two hours. Isn't that a bit too long?" Lin Jiuqing said softly, "I have already dealt with the matter just now. They did not cause any substantial harm to me. Let's just forget it."

Mo Xiao looked at her and said, "We can't just let it go like this."

"They are not only forcing you, but also forcing me, and even slapping me in the face." Mo Xiao said word by word, "Sacrificing my woman to seek peace... How could they think of that? After kneeling for so long, not only the knees are no longer needed, but also the face is no longer needed."
