"Don't cry!" Ning Guogong shouted again, the sound shaking the roof. Princess Zhaorong was frightened by her father's stern look. She stared blankly at her father with her mouth open, tears still flowing down her eyes.
Ning Guogong turned to Gu Qingze and said with satisfaction and apology: "The ancient miraculous doctor was the fault of my father-in-law who taught his daughter nothing. She was speechless and violated the miraculous doctor. My father-in-law will apologize to you on her behalf."
He cupped his fists and saluted Gu Qingze again.
Gu Qingze said calmly: "Your beloved daughter has made a mistake, and Your Majesty the Duke must admit her mistake on her behalf. Your Majesty the Duke, doesn't your waist hurt?"
His sudden words stunned Ning Guogong, and he subconsciously replied: "My Lord has no waist injury."
"Haha, if your daughter keeps offending people, Your Majesty the Duke will always admit her faults for her. This is a lot of courtesy. I'm afraid Your Majesty the Duke's waist will be too much to bear. I'd better give Your Majesty the Duke a dose to treat the back injury. It’s good to be prepared for a rainy day.” After saying this, he glanced at Princess Zhaorong from the corner of his eyes and sneered.
The sarcasm in his tone was heard by everyone present. It was clear that he was unwilling to give up and insisted on Zhaorong kneeling down to admit his mistake on the spot.
Ning Guogong gritted his teeth and said to Zhaorong: "You beast, why don't you come over and kneel down to apologize to the ancient miracle doctor!"
Princess Zhaorong's face turned red and white, then turned white and red. It would be better for her to kneel down in public than to let her die!
"Cousin, they... they all come to bully me. Even my father doesn't love me anymore. You have to make the decision for Zhaorong!"
She suddenly cried and threw herself at Mo Chuan's feet, wailing miserably. Her two white jade-like hands grabbed the hem of Mo Chuan's dragon robe and raised her face. Tears kept flowing down her cheeks. She was really a pear blossom belt. The rain is so pitiful.
When she was wronged, the first thing she thought of was Mo Chuan. At this moment, she grabbed Mo Chuan like a life-saving straw. As long as Mo Chuan showed a little pity for her, she would be happy to die.
Mo Chuan's face was expressionless. He shook the corner of his robe calmly. Zhao Rong only felt a strong force coming. He took off his hands and loosened the hem of his clothes. He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly. Look at Mo Chuan.
She couldn't believe that Mo Chuan would push her away mercilessly at this time.
Mo Chuan looked at her with no emotion at all.
He originally only had a brother-sister relationship with Zhaorong, and he felt happy when he learned that she had returned to Kyoto. But then he learned about all her evil deeds, and how she actually went to any lengths to pay for and kill people, and she also worked with Zixiao Pavilion. The killers colluded with each other and tried to kill his beloved girl at every turn. His brother-sister love for her had long since disappeared.
If it weren't for Empress Dowager Zhou's favor, he would have personally ordered Princess Zhaorong to be punished, so how could he stand up for her!
"Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. Duke Ning Guo's teachings are correct. Zhaorong, you should listen to your father."
Mo Chuan's words were like a basin of ice water, pouring over Princess Zhaorong, and her heart suddenly became cold.
Even the emperor's cousin didn't help him, and just like his father, he turned to outsiders. They... none of them cared about him anymore!
"Empress Dowager, please make the decision for Zhaorong!" Princess Zhaorong immediately pounced on Queen Mother Zhou again. This was her last life-saving straw. She believed that Queen Mother Zhou would never let her down!
She hugged Queen Mother Zhou's legs and burst into tears. Her tears quickly wet the hem of Queen Mother Zhou's skirt.
Queen Mother Zhou's heart immediately softened.
