Chapter 222: Ripples

Queen Qi's eyes instantly turned cold, and she instinctively looked in the direction where Zilin was.

Zilin's face was full of panic and guilt, but there was a faint look of pride in her eyes.

Mo Yun's face also flashed a look of embarrassment, but he still said firmly, "Make her a talent."

Hearing this, Zilin's face instantly beamed with joy. Full of excitement, she quickly bowed respectfully to Mo Yun and said, "This servant thanks Your Majesty!"

Queen Qi sneered inwardly. What a slut! She's exactly the same as that bitch back then.

Looking up at Mo Yun, Queen Qi couldn't help but grit her teeth and say, "She's just a lowly maid. Your Majesty's doing this is a bit out of line. If this gets out, won't it make people laugh?"

Mo Yun's face instantly stiffened, and he said indifferently, "Since the queen is concerned about me, I naturally won't let down your kindness."

How shameless! Queen Qi was so angry that her teeth itched. She gave a cold look at Zilin who was kneeling on the ground and angrily said, "Get out!"

Seeing Queen Qi's sudden change of expression, Zilin's face was full of panic, and her small face turned as pale as paper.

She knew that taking such a risky move would offend the queen. But fortune favors the brave. She thought she was good - looking enough. If she could seize the opportunity well, why couldn't she become the next Concubine Zhang?

The maids around were very sensible and respectfully withdrew. The smart ones couldn't help but sigh. Zilin's future was probably not going to be easy.

Even the extremely beautiful and favored Concubine Zhang was in awe of the queen. After all, the queen was the mistress of the harem. Zilin was not as beautiful as Concubine Zhang, and yet she wanted to rise to a high position. Offending the queen in a hurry...

After all the servants had left, the gentle and kind look on Queen Qi's face had completely disappeared, replaced by a bone - chilling coldness that shot straight at Mo Yun. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you promised me back then?"

It hadn't even been long, and he had already forgotten? Now he was going to embarrass her in public?

This happened right under her nose. If it got out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?

Mo Yun's face was also full of embarrassment. "I know what I promised, but..."

It was his fault for getting drunk and... with that maid.

"Forget it. If you don't want her, just find a reason to dispose of her."

She was just a lowly maid anyway. It wasn't a big deal.

Hearing this, Queen Qi immediately snorted coldly, her eyes full of mockery. "Your servant thanks Your Majesty."

Seeing the still - charming Queen Qi, Mo Yun felt a sudden urge in his heart. He stepped forward and hugged her in his arms. "My love, I won't break my promise to you."

Queen Qi was no stranger to such low - pitched and ambiguous sweet words. She had seen this lustful and muddle - headed man many times. If it weren't for that year...

Thinking of this, a look of disgust flashed in Queen Qi's eyes. She instinctively pushed him away. She felt a throbbing pain in her forehead, and an unnamed anger in her heart wanted to shatter her proud self - control. Without hesitation, she blurted out, "Don't touch me. I find you dirty!"

Mo Yun's face instantly darkened, and there was a faint storm in his eyes. "What did you say?"

Bitch! How dare she call him dirty?

Queen Qi was full of impatience. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Seeing Mo Yun like this, she instinctively said, "Stay away from me."

Mo Yun's face was ashen. Without thinking, he raised his hand and slapped Queen Qi. His eyes were full of malice. "How dare you!"

Don't think that just because he hadn't touched her over the years, it was because he was afraid of her father. Did she really think she could do whatever she wanted because of that old man?

"Have I given you too much face?"

How dare she be so bold!

Queen Qi sneered. "Mo Yun, I know exactly what kind of person you are. If it weren't for my father's deterrence back then, would you be where you are today?"

But what did he do? As soon as he ascended the throne, he completely forgot about the promise he made back then. He even wanted to get involved with the people around her.

Mo Yun angrily said, "I am the true dragon emperor chosen by heaven. What do you women know? Don't provoke me, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Queen Qi couldn't help but clench her delicate fist. Her eyes were full of coldness as she stared at Mo Yun in front of her. "True dragon emperor? Do you really think you can hide what happened back then from everyone?"

Mo Yun raised his hand and slapped her again. "If you dare to say another word, don't blame me for being ruthless."

What happened back then was the reverse scale in his heart. Touch it and you're dead. How dare this woman mention it...

"Do you think you're such a good person? If it weren't for that old man forcing me, do you really think I would have married you? If you don't know your place, I don't mind finding a new mother for Tian'er."

The blatant threat in his words was hard to ignore.

Queen Qi's face instantly turned a little paler. "He's my son. You'll never separate me from my son!"

Mo Yun sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "Your son? It seems that as time has passed, you've forgotten about Ripples and that you're not even a real woman."

If it weren't for that old man forcing him, how could he have married this neither - fish - nor - fowl person?

Hearing this name again, Queen Qi was filled with surging anger. "A slut could make you so obsessed. Don't you forget that you killed her with your own hands back then!"

She was just a slut. She even dared to try to climb above her. She was just asking for death.

Mo Yun also sneered in his heart. He naturally looked down on that slut. If it weren't for this woman's inability to bear children, why would he have done that?

"Qi, you should know the consequences of provoking me. If you don't know your place, don't blame me for being ruthless."

If he could get rid of Ripples, he could surely get rid of Qi.

Even that old man couldn't interfere!

Queen Qi couldn't help but grit her teeth. Her eyes looking at Mo Yun were full of coldness. One day, she would surely make this man pay the price!

At that moment, on the roof, a stunningly handsome man was sitting leisurely. The man in front of him was exactly the same in appearance, gentle as jade, but at this moment, there was a faint chill on him.

After Mo Yun left and the palace returned to calm again, the cold - as - the - moon man then said indifferently, his tone revealing a bit of coldness. "Is this the good show you wanted me to see?"

Ripples?

Who was she?
