"You really have a big nerve, daring to intrude into the imperial palace, clearly you're asking for death!"

  When he finished speaking, Wu Ran turned to Gao Tu and fell to the ground with a thud, crying bitterly and saying: "Your Majesty, you must take charge for me. This little servant girl and this old man are so contemptuous of my Wu family, it's clear that they don't put Your Majesty in their eyes. This pair of grandfather and grandson should be executed by slow slicing, and their nine clans should be exterminated!"

  "Exterminate my entire clan?" Ning Lao smiled faintly and said calmly, "I'm afraid you can't even exterminate my nine clans!"

  After these words fell, his gaze turned to Gao Tu, with his hands behind his back and standing calmly.

  "Not even the people from Lingmen dare to say such words in front of me, let alone you imperial family members. What kind of arrogance do you have that makes you so rude to me? You even call my granddaughter a little servant girl and say she's only fit to be a concubine?"

  Gao Tu's originally angry face suddenly turned pale upon hearing the old man's words, with a hint of terror in his eyes.

  Lingmen?

  He actually knows about Lingmen! What's this old man's origin?

  "What is this 'Ling Gate'?" Mu Gui Fei clearly didn't know about the existence of Ling Gate, and coldly laughed, saying "Can something like Ling Gate be compared to imperial power? The entire world of Longyuan Country comes from imperial power, who dares to disobey the imperial family's orders?"

  Bang!

  Just as the words of Mu Gui Fei had fallen, a palm suddenly came from the side and landed heavily on her cheek, instantly stunning her. She couldn't believe it and turned her head to look at the handsome man beside her with an angry face.

  "Your Majesty, you..." Mu Gui Fei's beautiful eyes widened, her eyes welled up with tears, and a pale complexion appeared on her stunning face.

  She relied on Gao Tu's favor and was not rare to be arrogant, from the fact that she could participate in politics, it can be seen that her status in Gao Tu's mind! However, she did not expect that His Majesty, who had always been fond of her, would slap her!

  Gao Tu looked at the tears in Mu Gui Fei's eyes, feeling a little unbearable, but thinking of what she had just said, a surge of anger rose again, and he coldly said: "The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. This matter will be handled by me. You are not allowed to say more!"

  Mu Gui Fei's body trembled, her beautiful eyes staring at Gao Tu in shock and dismay, with a hint of heartbreak and despair in their depths.

  Your Majesty, is this... an intention to reclaim all of her powers?

  Not to mention the favored concubine, even the people in the grand hall were stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend why Your Majesty would suddenly take action. Could it be that the Mu family is about to lose its imperial favor?

  Just as everyone was in a state of confusion, Gao Tu had already shifted his gaze to Ning Lao, his expression no longer stern, and his voice carried a hint of inquiry: "I wonder who this elderly predecessor is?"

  Old senior?

  Your Majesty actually used such a word on this old man?

  Wu Ran felt a bad feeling rising from the bottom of his heart. Could it be that this little servant girl had some other origin?

  From start to finish, Yun Luo had an attitude of watching a play, with the corners of his mouth raised in a sly and charming smile, seemingly smiling yet not quite, as he stared at Wu Ran's stiff expression.

  "I am who you don't have the right to know."

  Ning Lao's tone was as calm as ever, but his voice betrayed a hint of arrogance in his heart.

  Gao Tu was humiliated by Ning Lao in front of so many people, his face suddenly turned iron green. Before figuring out Ning Lao's identity, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "I don't know what relationship this old predecessor has with the Yun family?"
