Rebirth of the Strongest Empress

The Eternal Emperor looked grimly at Mo Yunxian and the others kneeling before him.

“Greetings, Emperor.” Mo You and the others sensed the atmosphere and hurriedly kowtowed.

Mo Yunxian saw that Ling Yan did not seem to notice her, but Mo You signaled to her secretly, and she obediently bowed to the Emperor.

“You are really daring to leave the Board of Punishments on your own accord, without my permission.” The Eternal Emperors tone was filled with displeasure.

Mo You and the others immediately broke into a cold sweat. When he and Mo Yunxian were imprisoned in the Board of Punishments, they had discovered that Wu Liang and the others were also jailed there. They had mostly been arrested within the past couple of days for crimes they had committed.

Before Mo You could ask them for details, Mo Yunxian used her status and brought them out of the Board of Punishments in a daze.

Wu Liang and the others were rather worried at first, but they felt that the incidents were rather strange and wanted to come out early to investigate, so they had left.

But after a few days outside, they had yet to discover a single clue.

“Your Majesty, please have mercy. We know we were in the wrong.” When the Eternal Emperor summoned them to the morning court session, they all knew something was terribly wrong.

“Mo Yunxian, who gave you the authority to leave and bring criminals with you?” The Eternal Emperors gaze suddenly fell on Mo Yunxian. Although Mo Yunxian was the daughter of a general, she did not have such authority.

Mo Yunxian turned pale, but she steeled herself and said, “Your Majesty, I had my reasons for leaving.”

“What reasons?”

“The incident that happened that day was very strange. I felt that something was amiss, so I left the Board of Punishments to investigate.” Mo Yunxian did not feel that there was anything wrong with her way of thinking. She thought it was very strange that those three people had suddenly appeared and then died.
