The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 901 - 485: Head-to-Head Confrontation (Fifth Update)
In the silent Imperial Palace, the sound of Xiao Yanqi’s ghostly wailing echoed.
Bai Mowan arrived swiftly, her eyes immediately spotting her son being pinned to the ground by An Luming, beaten into a sorry state.
At this moment, he had lost all the dignity befitting a Prince, even worse off than the children of common households.
Seeing Xiao Yanqi being so incompetent, getting beaten like this by An Luming, and considering how bold An Luming was to act so recklessly in the Imperial Palace, her anger surged to the extreme.
"Seize An Luming for me!" Bai Mowan ordered.
Mo Kun heard and hurriedly stepped forward to seize An Luming.
Before he could touch An Luming, he was struck away by Zhang Wenhe.
Mo Kun stepped back several paces.
Seemingly unaware, within the Imperial Palace there was such a master present.
And this person before him, he had never seen before.
Bai Mowan naturally noticed at a glance.
She also scrutinized Zhang Wenhe.
Who is this man?!
Brought by An Ning?!
Bai Mowan’s face darkened, ordering again, "Anyone who disobeys, kill them without mercy!"
Upon receiving the order, Mo Kun immediately charged to attack Zhang Wenhe.
Zhang Wenhe faced him head-on.
A fierce fight broke out between him and Mo Kun.
Master against master.
Everyone automatically stepped back a few paces.
An Luming also let go of Xiao Yanqi at this moment.
Xiao Yanqi lay on the ground in pain, unable to stand for a long time, his face and body covered with bruises.
His Palace Attendant quickly helped him up.
His mother, however, did not care for him at this moment.
Bai Mowan naturally wasn’t in the mood to care about Xiao Yanqi right now; as long as he wasn’t dead, it was fine!
She was focusing all her attention on Zhang Wenhe and Mo Kun, watching every move, each strike deadly!
Where did An Ning find such a top-level master that even Mo Kun could not gain the upper hand!
Bai Mowan’s face was hideous to the extreme.
At this moment, An Ning also had arrived, and upon arrival, she saw Zhang Wenhe and Mo Kun fighting.
Wasn’t it said that An Luming and Xiao Yanqi were fighting?!
Why is it now Zhang Wenhe and Mo Kun?
An Ning glanced at Bai Mowan, immediately thinking that it must be Bai Mowan’s orders.
She commanded with authority, "Stop for me!"
Zhang Wenhe heard An Ning’s order and quickly released his hand.
Mo Kun, who hadn’t been gaining the upper hand and might have lost if the fight continued, felt unsatisfied; at the moment Zhang Wenhe released his hand, he sneakily struck a palm, hitting Zhang Wenhe to the ground.
Zhang Wenhe spat blood.
Mo Kun instantly returned to Bai Mowan’s side.
An Ning glanced at Mo Kun and hurried over, "Uncle Zhang?"
"Miss, I’m fine," Zhang Wenhe endured.
Although he took a palm strike, it did not harm any vital parts, resting for a few days would suffice.
An Ning’s gaze tightened.
She stood up and looked towards Bai Mowan, eyeing Mo Kun.
Her face sank, barely containing her anger, "Mo Kun disobeyed my orders, defied the higher-ups, a crime deserving of death! Seize him for me, lock him in the dungeon awaiting punishment!"
"Stop!" Bai Mowan directly stood in front of Mo Kun, "Today’s matters are not yet clear, for the Empress to deal with my people directly, it seems unfair!"
An Ning coldly stared at Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan pulled Xiao Yanqi in front of her, "I just received a report, saying that Luming was fighting Yanqi, so I came to take a look, only to see Yanqi being pinned to the ground and beaten. I intended to separate them, but unexpectedly, before I could touch Luming, this man pushed me away. As my personal guard, Mo Kun’s duty is to ensure my safety, and Mo Kun is allowed in the Imperial Palace with the Emperor’s permission. I ask the Empress to see clearly!"
An Ning glanced at An Luming.
Seeing his face with some wounds but not many, then turned to glance at Xiao Yanqi.
Xiao Yanqi was now beaten black and blue, unsure if it was still painful, constantly crying, sobbing continuously, seeming greatly wronged.
"The Empress, as the Master of the Harem, surely will not favor anyone. Now your son has beaten my son, I ask the Empress for a reasonable explanation; otherwise, it would affect the Empress’s reputation in the harem, which would be the Empress’s loss." Bai Mowan feigned humbleness but was actually seizing the advantage.
"How can the Imperial Concubine be so sure that Luming beat Xiao Yanqi?" An Ning’s eyes were cold, "I feel that it was Xiao Yanqi who beat An Luming!"
She understood her son’s personality too well.
If not for Xiao Yanqi’s provocation, if not for Xiao Yanqi’s excessive provocation, An Luming would never have struck.
"The Empress favors her son like this, spreading out will harm the Empress’s dignity. Now everyone sees An Luming without a scratch, while Xiao Yanqi is covered in wounds, who hit whom, isn’t it clear?!" Bai Mowan’s tone grew heavier.
An Ning sneered, rebuking disdainfully, "Who says, whoever is injured more severely is the victim?! Being superior in martial arts, is that a fault?!"
Bai Mowan’s expression drastically changed due to An Ning’s sarcasm.
An Ning’s every word and sentence was filled with disdain towards her.
Now Xiao Yanqi was injured so severely, yet it was said that Xiao Yanqi couldn’t defeat An Luming and deserved it!
Over the years in the Imperial Palace, due to her having martial arts herself, and because Xiao Jinxing was highly skilled in martial arts and keenly aware of the people’s admiration for both literary and martial talents, Mo Kun was often instructed to personally teach Xiao Yanqi martial arts. Although Xiao Yanqi’s skills weren’t superb, he certainly wouldn’t lose to peers of the same age.
Just when Bai Mowan was about to retort!
"The Emperor has arrived!"
A high-pitched voice rang out.
Everyone had to suppress their emotions temporarily, respectfully saluting, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jinxing appeared before the crowd, surveying the scene before him, glancing at An Luming and Xiao Yanqi, his face darkening, "What is going on?!"
No one took the initiative to speak.
An Ning did not want to speak, as she did not want Xiao Jinxing to interfere.
She did not trust Xiao Jinxing to handle it fairly.
Nor did she need him to handle it.
Bai Mowan remained silent because, considering rank and status, it wasn’t her turn to speak before the Empress spoke.
She could only grit her teeth, suppressing immense anger.
"Xiao Yanqi, what happened to your face?" Xiao Jinxing directly called him out.
Bai Mowan secretly smiled.
No matter what, Xiao Jinxing still cared about Xiao Yanqi.
Even if not biological, having grown up by his side, it’s impossible not to have any feelings whatsoever.
Xiao Yanqi was startled again upon seeing his father arrive.
He just wanted to secretly thrash An Luming a bit, teach him a lesson, vent his frustration, and then threaten him not to tell. He never intended for his father and mother to find out.
At this moment, he became somewhat flustered and overwhelmed.
He couldn’t utter a sound.
Bai Mowan sensed Xiao Yanqi’s tension and quickly interjected, "Your Majesty, today Yanqi was frightened, I ask that Your Majesty allow me to report on his behalf to Your Majesty."
Xiao Jinxing glanced at Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan lowered her head, appearing exceptionally respectful.
