Chapter 545 Are You Worthy?

Chapter 545 Are You Worthy?

Seeing that he seemed suspicious, Mu Yan angrily smashed a teacup to divert his attention.

"I am sitting right here, why do you say that?!"

Ning Hanwang trembled all over, reacted hurriedly, and was stunned.

"Oh, yes, it is."

"What the empress said is absolutely true."

Mu Yan's eyes were blazing with anger, and the fire of karma was spreading across the sky.

"Isn't it just sarcasm that this palace is not in the emperor's favor?"

The family has been living together for many years, and Ning Hanwang knows that this touches Mu Yan's heart. He is used to it and feels uneasy.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you misunderstood."

"I have absolutely no such intention."

"The Imperial Concubine's favor is infinite, and all the women in the world admire her."

Taking advantage of his anger, Mu Yan made his demands in an imperative tone and with an arrogant attitude.

"I order you to personally carry the sedan chair and take my wife back to the palace, and announce to everyone that yesterday's words of favoring my concubine are void."

"Did you hear that?"

After she said that, Ning Hanwang suddenly remembered yesterday. Things have changed for the better, and all the hard work has paid off.

His panic disappeared and he smiled again, instantly becoming proud and complacent.

"From now on, if the Imperial Concubine orders me around, please think about how you should explain this to the Virtuous Concubine."

When Mu Yan heard the words "Empress Virtuous", a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes and lips.

"That's ridiculous."

"Earlier, the Emperor conferred her the title of Consort on her because she was the first to enter the palace and had the most seniority. He also granted her the power of the Empress and let her be in charge of all matters in the harem."

"In the past, she was the most respected person in the harem, and I had to look at her face when doing things. But now, times have changed, and I am the imperial concubine, she is the concubine, and the power of the queen is also in my hands."

"I am in a high position with great power, so it is only right that she should report everything to me. How can a person in a high position give instructions to a humble person?"

There was something vague and sinister in her words.

"Ning Hanwang, you'd better be sensible, otherwise, I will make up a name for you and send you to Yinsitai."

Ning Hanwang remained calm and fearless, taking it as usual.

"As the Imperial Concubine gets older, her memory gets worse. Yin Sitai is where my Third Uncle is busy."

Mu Yan was unhappy that he had outmaneuvered her.

"Are you threatening me?"

Ning Hanwang's face was filled with joy.

"I don't dare."

Mu Yan raised her slender eyebrows slightly.

"Don't you know that Yin Sizhong Xiang Teng Yuru is about to join forces with my Mu clan?"

Ning Hanwang smiled broadly, and every word he said was full of sarcasm.

"How could a mere chancellor be so impressive as to be worthy of the Imperial Concubine's boasting?"

Mu Yan was just right, keeping the question in suspense and being mysterious.

"It's okay if you don't understand. I hope my brother-in-law will have the last laugh."

Ning Hanwang showed no fear or disdain. He imitated her tone and responded modestly.

"I also hope that everything goes well for the Imperial Concubine."

Mu Yan felt relaxed and comfortable. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

"I am very pleased. If I don't exempt you from the formalities, you will not be able to rest in peace."

"Master Ning, please kneel down and reflect on yourself. When you have thought it through, please beg me to allow you to rest."

His knees began to ache and Ning Hanwang gradually lost his patience.

"I am in trouble, and Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort will not sit idly by and watch without helping me."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty. If you insist on doing this, the consequences will be disastrous."

Mu Yan's jade hands gracefully picked up a piece of osmanthus cake.

"You ask her to come."

"I want to see what unthinkable things a mere concubine can do."

Ning Hanwang is confident and upright.

"I have advised you many times, but Your Majesty will not listen. It is useless to advise you more. I hope Your Majesty will not regret it."

Mu Yan pretended to be shaking carelessly and threw the osmanthus cake on Ning Hanwang's face.

"You can bully my sister, and I will regret it."

Feeling deeply humiliated, Ning Hanwang's heart suddenly became filled with anger.

"I spent a lot of money on the betrothal and engagement, just like hiring a slave. Why can't she let me bully her?"

Hearing his rude words, Mu Yan became angry and embarrassed.

"This is the first time in my life that I have heard such ridiculous words."

"King Dijin has decreed that husband and wife are equal. If she is a slave, then what are you?"

Ning Hanwang raised his eyes and gave him a look of contempt.

"Your Highness, your only abilities are bickering and kneeling as punishment."

Mu Yanhui's contempt.

"Why do I need to use my unfathomable powers to deal with a despicable person like you? Are you worthy? A little skill from me will be enough."

As soon as the voice fell, the palace servant reported: "The virtuous concubine requests to see you."

Mu Yan refused decisively.

"not see."

The palace maid presented a letter.

"Her Majesty the Concubine presents this book to you. Please enjoy reading it."

The virtuous concubine was very resourceful. If she opened the envelope and took a closer look, she would definitely fall into her trap. Mu Yan refused again without thinking.

"dont see."

Suddenly, Mu Yan saw his father's handwriting on the envelope, and he was startled.

"and many more."

She quickly took the letter, opened it and read it. She was stunned at the first sight and became even more frightened.

"Ning Guogong."

Ning Hanwang looked at him with a sharp gaze and raised his head in response.

"Please give your orders, madam."

Mu Yan was reluctant and let him leave.

"You should withdraw."

Ning Hanwang followed the instructions and performed the ceremony, his pride evident on his face.

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Walking out of Zhaoyi Palace, Ning Hanwang ran into Concubine Xian head-on and bowed.

"I am Ning Hanwang, respectfully wishing the Empress Consort good health."

The empress and the imperial concubine were of different ranks; the imperial concubine was of the first rank; the duke was of the second rank. Therefore, Ning Han had to perform a salute when he saw them.

Xue Yi'e didn't say much. She walked a few steps closer, gave him a light support, and warned him in a low voice.

"Behave yourself in the future and don't cause trouble for me."

There were dark clouds behind him, with lightning and thunder looming. The virtuous concubine's intimidation was even greater than the wrath of God. Ning Hanwang shrank back in fear.

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

In Zhaoyi Palace.

After confirming that the master had left, Mu Rong walked out from behind the screen, looking pitiful.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, why are you backing off?"

"Could it be that you don't want to take care of me either?"

Mu Yan looked helpless and handed over the letter.

"She sent me a letter from her father asking for help. What can I do? You can see for yourself."

Mu Rong checked the handwriting and read the content, her face instantly turning pale.

"Could it be that the Xue clan took action?"

Mu Yanhua's face was filled with bitterness.

"The plans of the virtuous concubine naturally rely on the support of her mother's clan."

Thinking back on the past, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Xian Fei is usually quiet and never causes trouble. There is nothing to be afraid of. Who would have thought that she is so powerful in her schemes? If Ning Hanwang gets into trouble, the Mu and Zou clans will be in danger and it will be difficult to protect them."

"You always say that you envy my opponent, who is her. Unlike you, you face Fang Renshu every day and lose every time."

"Now let's see who should envy whom? Fang Renshu's clan was wiped out overnight, and the former glory of the Fang Mansion is gone; Concubine Xian behaves in a proper manner, and her position is difficult to shake. This palace has no way to deal with it."

Mu Rong took out a fire starter and burned all the letters.

"Little sister, there is something I don't understand."

Mu Yan sympathized with her sister and took the initiative to pour tea for her.

"You said."

Mu Rong asked in confusion.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, why did you mention Lord Teng, the Prime Minister of Yinsi, for no reason? The Mu people should have nothing to do with him, right?"

Mu Yan answered.

"Fengzhe was worried about his mother's situation and did not sleep well the previous night. He came to see me early in the morning."

"That was his idea, to give us a boost."
