141 Sure, I Promise You
“Reason? It’s very simple. Back then, I slapped the face of the Linxu Sect in front of so many people at the sect meeting. For a large sect that looks decent on the surface, they probably care about their reputation the most. However, their skills are inferior, and they can’t openly settle scores with me, so they can only secretly resort to some methods.”
“Don’t tell me you really think that the Linxu Sect can take this lying down!”
Yun Ran only looked harmless and ignorant. In fact, she was quite thorough about human nature.
“Of course, there’s another possibility. There’s really a demonic cultivator causing trouble in the Imperial City. However, the people who released the rumors that I’m a demonic cultivator are not in cahoots with the demonic cultivator causing trouble. They only want to use this matter to destroy me and target you. What a good scheme.”
Her personality was carefree and unrestrained, and she did not care about worldly opinions. However, that did not mean that she was willing to take the blame.
Most importantly, that group of people had even schemed against her two children, and this made Yun Ran very unhappy.
“I heard that the Emperor wanted to capture me, but you stopped him.”
Mo Beiyuan looked at her coldly, his cold aura natural.
“You don’t have to care. As long as I’m not dead, no one can touch the three of you.”
He would ensure the safety of those he wanted to protect with his life.
What were the emperor’s orders?
Yun Ran knew that he wanted to protect her, but was it really good for him to provoke the emperor so openly?
“Mo Beiyuan, if I don’t go, it will confirm my guilt. You didn’t think of this, did you?”
She had a clear conscience and was not afraid of being investigated. However, now that Mo Beiyuan had blocked the emperor’s men for her several times, it would clearly accelerate the ferment of the rumors. Public opinion would be even more unfavorable to her.
Of course, Mo Beiyuan knew that at this moment, he could only clear her name quickly through a confrontation.
However, he also knew that she did not like the Emperor. Previously, when the Emperor was in the Yuan Mansion, she displayed very obvious disgust.
That was why he blocked the Emperor’s summons for her several times.
“I thought you didn’t like to see the emperor?”
Yun Ran was slightly stunned and her heart trembled. Clearly, she did not expect him to give such an answer.
So, did he make things so complicated just because she didn’t like to see the emperor?
Yun Ran raised her hand to cover the boy’s ears before clearing her throat. “I don’t like him because he looks at me with the wretched lechery of an old man. But these are two different things. Now, I have to confront him to prove my innocence.”
She was not that squeamish. It was just that she did not like it. It was not as though she would lose a piece of flesh after just a few glances.
“Come with me. When the time comes, can you block his view for me? Just like that day.”
She only needed to face his straight back.
She did not believe that the Emperor would be so shameless as to walk around Mo Beiyuan and stare at her in front of so many ministers.
That would really make him a wretched emperor. How shameless!
Mo Beiyuan did not expect her to say this. He paused for a moment before nodding. “Sure, I promise you.”
“Then let’s enter the palace now.”
Yun Ran felt that it was better to resolve this matter sooner rather than later.
Ever since this incident happened, Thunderbolt had been persuading his master to let Miss Yun enter the palace to cooperate with the investigation. After all, she was innocent and would not lose a piece of flesh. However, his master’s expression at that time was ugly and his words were firm.
