Mo Xiao Li completely disregarded her and angrily said, "Kneel down!"
Consort Qian was truly frightened; the Emperor had never shown such anger in front of her. It had been a long time since she last saw him enter Guang'an Palace, and she was initially very happy to see him, but she never expected it would turn out like this.
Suddenly kneeling on the ground, tears welled up in her eyes, her beauty almost overwhelming, making it hard for anyone to say another word. However, at that moment, Mo Xiao Li did not care about any of this and pointed at her, saying, "Today you will explain to me clearly how many heinous acts you have committed during this time!"
As Consort Qian moved her eyes, she knew that the Emperor's question indicated something had happened. But without direct evidence against her, she tearfully replied, "Your Majesty, are you suspecting Consort of doing something?"
"What have you done? Don't you know yourself? Do I really have to spell it all out for you?"
Pear, seeing this, moved a few steps forward while kneeling and anxiously said, "Your Majesty, please think carefully; Consort Qian has always followed palace rules. Please do not wrongfully accuse the Consort."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao Li stepped forward and slapped Pear hard across the face, instantly causing it to swell and blood to seep from the corner of her mouth. This made Consort Qian too afraid to say a word.
"You, a mere Servant, dare to be so insolent in front of me! Li Fusheng, take her away and execute her!" he shouted in anger.
Upon hearing this, Consort Qian rushed forward and grabbed Mo Xiao Li's robe. Her makeup was already ruined by tears, but at this moment, she could not care about that much; after all, Pear had played an indispensable role in her rise to this position. She had to protect her life at all costs.
"Your Majesty, you suddenly appear and order the death of Consort's maidservant. What exactly has Consort done wrong?"
Mo Xiao Li, disdainfully stepping back a few paces and snatching his robe from her grasp, furiously said, "At this point, do you still not understand? Fine, since that's the case, let me tell you!"
"The Empress's initial Poisonous Curse, the death of Mur, the assassination of the Empress, and colluding with Consort Xi to push the Empress into the water—have you forgotten all these things?" With each statement made by Mo Xiao Li, his anger intensified.
Consort Qian grew paler as she listened, unable to believe that all these matters had been exposed. She feared that she would not escape death, staring blankly ahead as if she could no longer hear anything.
However, Mo Xiao Li did not give her the chance to respond. He looked down at her with a furrowed brow and said angrily, "I truly did not expect that all these matters were related to you. Over the years, I have underestimated you; I did not realize you were so meticulous in your actions." He let out a cold laugh.
The laughter was too chilling, and in the vast hall, only his furious breathing could be heard. The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.
At that moment, Li Fusheng entered and whispered a few words into Mo Xiao Li's ear. After he finished speaking, he cast a cold glance at Consort Qian.
After a long silence of contemplation, he finally said, "Consort Qian, over the years, I have treated you well. Your lowly servant has already revealed everything you have done. I am giving you a chance to confess everything honestly; otherwise, Prime Minister Kang will also face death!"
At this point, Consort Qian looked ashen, never expecting that these matters would be exposed so suddenly. She was even more shocked that Pear had betrayed her. Stopping her tears, she looked at Mo Xiao Li with increasingly vacant eyes and said, "Your Majesty, since Pear has confessed, then Consort has nothing more to say. I only hope that this matter does not involve my father." With that, she bowed her head heavily.
Mo Xiao Li had expected her to deny everything but was surprised when she admitted to it all. His brows furrowed as he looked elsewhere. "Send Consort Qian to the Cold Palace, awaiting punishment!" He finished speaking and walked out.
As he exited the palace gates, he heard Consort Qian laughing loudly inside, followed by her hoarse cries. However, Mo Xiao Li left without looking back; all these matters had surfaced at once, and there would be many issues to deal with next.
Meanwhile, Mu Junqi, who had not seen Mo Xiao Li for a long time, was worried about Consort Wang. Yet she was also afraid of accidentally disturbing her pregnancy and could only wait anxiously.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, she finally heard voices outside. Just as she prepared to get out of bed, Mo Xiao Li walked in and stopped her.
But Mu Junqi clearly sensed his anger. Not knowing what had happened earlier, she asked curiously, "What happened?" Suddenly realizing what she had just done, she turned her head away in embarrassment.
Originally furious, Mo Xiao Li felt a bit of joy upon hearing her words. When he saw her slightly flushed cheeks, his mood improved significantly. He sat beside her and teased, "My beloved consort actually cares about me today."
Mu Junqi felt shy and her mind was in a chaotic state, suddenly finding herself in a difficult position, unsure of her true feelings for the first time.
Mo Xiao Li stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace, lowering his head to inhale the fragrance from her hair. He slightly closed his eyes and said lazily, "You've suffered during this time."
Mu Junqi was still somewhat puzzled by the true meaning of his words when he suddenly pressed her down onto the bed. His lips came crashing down on hers, kissing her firmly. As their lips met, their breaths mingled, filled with each other's scent. Mu Junqi struggled but ultimately had to let him caress her body.
After a long while, Mo Xiao Li finally released Mu Junqi. Both of them were panting heavily as they gazed at each other. He then spoke again, "Do you know when I started to like you, Mu Junqi?"
Looking at him in confusion, she momentarily didn't know what to say. Through his deep gaze, she faintly saw her own reflection. Her lips tingled from his kiss, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. She dared not meet his eyes and shyly lowered her head.
Just when Mo Xiao Li thought she wouldn't respond, she softly said, "Your Majesty, do you really not want to let go even until this moment?"
"Let go? I never intended to let go from the very beginning. If you think you can leave my side, then go ahead and try," he said with some irritation.
However, Mu Junqi smiled and looked directly into his eyes, saying word by word, "Perhaps we can give it a try." With that, she sat up as if intending to leave.
Mo Xiao Li was so immersed in her words that he momentarily failed to notice she had already sat up. In that instant, he felt joy and emotion, but more than that, he felt confused.
He grabbed Mu Junqi's arm as she was about to leave and pulled her tightly into his embrace, exclaiming with excitement, "I will make you fall in love with me."
