In the Royal study, freёnovelkiss-com

Mo Qingshan clutched at his lungs, desperately coughing. He had just been infuriated by the Marquis of Jian’an to near death and still hadn’t recovered.

Nangong Yi sat on the Dragon Chair, watching Mo Qingshan, who was struggling to catch his breath while coughing, and said, "So many years have passed, and Uncle’s illness still hasn’t improved. It’s often said that experts reside among the common people, so why don’t I issue an imperial decree tomorrow and recruit some skilful doctors from among the populace to treat Uncle? Wouldn’t it be good if his ailment could be cured once and for all?"

Duke Li Guo said, "Your Uncle’s illness is congenital, I’m afraid it can’t be completely eradicated. Years ago, a wandering Taoist priest provided a remedy from overseas, which proved to be very effective. As long as he doesn’t overexert himself and avoids getting angry, he doesn’t fall ill. He hasn’t had an episode for several years. If it hadn’t been for today’s episode with the Marquis of Jian’an agitating him, he wouldn’t be in such a state."

At the mention of the Marquis of Jian’an, Mo Qingshan was seized by another violent bout of coughing.

Just when he and his father rushed to the Royal study by imperial summons, he was in front of The Emperor, tearfully impeaching them from Duke Li Guo’s Mansion for mistreating his daughter, and pleading with The Emperor to grant his daughter a divorce from Mo Zili. Not only that, but upon seeing him, the old man jumped up and, without using foul language, subjected him to a scathing scolding. He essentially accused Duke Li Guo’s Mansion of betrayal and the vile mistreatment of his daughter and likened them to being worse than beasts...

Mo Qingshan had never been subjected to such treatment. Under the continuous and aggressive accusations, he almost passed out. He was even forced to also petition The Emperor to grant Xiang Yun and Mo Zili a divorce. Nangong Yi knew that Cai Wei was best friends with the daughter of the Marquis of Jian’an, so, without knowing what Cai Wei would think, he dared not decide on his own, for fear that she would blame him after her return.

However, the Marquis of Jian’an was determined. No matter how much Nangong Yi tried to placate him, he insisted on the divorce between his daughter and Mo Zili. Seeing the situation, Duke Li Guo realized that a marriage between the two families was impossible, so he also petitioned Nangong Yi to issue a decree, granting Mo Zili and Xiang Yun a divorce.

Nangong Yi, worried that Cai Wei would be displeased and although he didn’t wish to decree the divorce, couldn’t stand against the wishes of both families, and he couldn’t bear to defy his Maternal Grandfather. After pondering for awhile, he finally issued the order granting their divorce.

Upon receiving the order, the Marquis of Jian’an didn’t forget to sneer at Duke Li Guo and Mo Qingshan, saying, "Remember this, it was our Wu Family who proposed the divorce first; it’s my daughter who no longer wants your family’s beast!" After saying this, he bowed his head to Nangong Yi and left with great swagger.

Mo Qingshan was infuriated to near death, and Duke Li Guo’s face turned green with rage, but he was a man of reason and wouldn’t blindly side with his own grandson. In this matter, he acknowledged that his grandson had indeed gone too far, so he didn’t argue with the Marquis of Jian’an.

After the Marquis of Jian’an left, the Old Master then inquired with Nangong Yi about Situ Changge’s situation.

Knowing that Situ Changge was affiliated with the Empress, he dared not act against Situ Changge for fear of Situ Changge humiliating Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, lest it displease the Empress and bring unnecessary trouble. He could only act after thoroughly investigating and with permission from The Emperor and the Empress.

Nangong Yi had also heard about the scandal between Xiang Yun and Situ Changge. When his Maternal Grandfather asked about Situ Changge, he knew that his Maternal Grandfather had already considered assassination, and so he did not conceal Situ Changge’s true identity, solemnly advising the Old Master that not a single mistake could be made regarding this person!

Duke Li Guo hadn’t expected Situ Changge to have such a noble identity. Taken aback, he had no choice but to abandon the thought of eliminating him. Even though with the power in their Mansion, disposing of a foreign Prince alone and with little support was as easy as flipping one’s hand, neither he nor any in the Mansion wanted to incite international conflict over a personal grudge, causing strife for people all over the world and trouble for Yi’er.
