The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Tuoba Xuan stared at Mo Xiao, wanting to see how the emperor would respond to his favorite concubine's words.

Does he really want to let this favorite concubine do whatever she wants?

Mo Xiao seemed to know that Tuoba Xuan was watching, so he glanced in his direction, then said to Lin Jiuqing: "Okay, whatever you want."

Tuoba Xuan: "..."

Tuoba Xuan simply couldn't believe his ears. This Mo Xiao actually dared to hand over his life to this favored concubine to decide for him at will.

Tuoba Xuan roared angrily in the direction of Mo Xiao, but unfortunately, all that came out was a whimper of unwillingness.

Mo Xiao reached out and touched Lin Jiuqing's arm, and said softly, "You must be tired. Go back and rest first. I'll watch over you here."

Lin Jiuqing shook his head: "I want to watch Xiaobai."

Mo Xiao glanced at the cat, and after a moment of silence, he said to Lin Jiuqing, "Your clothes are stained with blood. Go back and change clothes first, and then come to see Xiaobai. I will stay here, and the imperial physician will not dare to be careless."

The imperial physician beside him was silent. Even if the emperor was not here, he dared not be careless. Everyone knew that Concubine Chen was the sweetheart of His Majesty. No one dared to neglect the task of the Lanyin Palace.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at his cut sleeve, which was covered in blood. It looked really wrong, so he didn't insist anymore. He nodded and asked Yingyue to accompany him to change clothes.

As soon as Lin Jiuqing left, Mo Xiao's expression changed instantly, and even the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. The people around him instantly tensed up.

Mo Xiao first glanced at the imperial physician and said coldly, "Make sure to save the cat's life. This is very important to the Concubine Chen."

The imperial physician nodded quickly: "Yes, I will do my best."

Mo Xiao then looked at the palace servants who were serving on the scene and said slowly: "You allowed outsiders to sneak into Lan Yin Palace. You are blind and blind, and you are not worthy of being used."

The eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him all knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Mo Xiao said in a deep voice: "You have served the Concubine Chen for a long time, and the Concubine Chen has developed feelings for you. For the sake of the Concubine Chen, I will spare your lives this time. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped. Go and receive twenty strokes of the cane, and remember it for a long time."

The palace ladies immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

It was only twenty lashes of the cane, but he's still alive, so he can be considered to have saved his life.

Afterwards, Mo Xiao looked at those secret guards with a sharper look in his eyes.

"I asked you to stay here. Do you feel that you are being undervalued and feel unfair?"

As soon as Mo Xiao said this, all the secret guards knelt down with a plop. The leader was pale, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "We have never dared to have such an idea. Your Majesty, please understand?"

"This time... it was my negligence. I never thought that someone would dare to break into Lan Yin Palace and attack Empress Chen." The leading secret guard knocked his head to the ground and gritted his teeth, "It was because I was comfortable for too long and lost my vigilance, so someone took advantage of the opportunity to break in. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The other secret guards closed their eyes, all looking resigned to their fate.

When this incident happened today, they were mentally prepared and knew that this matter would definitely not end well.

They are the elites among the secret guards, personally selected by His Majesty to guard Lan Yin Palace. Now they have failed to perform their duties and almost caused a big mistake. It is reasonable for His Majesty to deal with them in any way he wants.

Mo Xiao looked at these secret guards. They were all trained with a lot of effort. They were all talents picked from thousands of miles away. It would be a pity to kill them.
