The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 982 - 986: Cleaning House
This event was incredibly sensational at the time. From then on, the story that the Empress was the nation’s lucky star spread more and more, truly becoming a household topic.
Later, when the Empress was pregnant and gave birth to the Eldest Princess, auspicious clouds surged, and a phoenix flew in, singing in the skies.
Soon after, a hermit arrived. Upon a single glance at the newborn Eldest Princess, he laughed heartily and declared her fate: A Goddess descended from the heavens, a blessing to the entire nation!
The Emperor was overjoyed, granted amnesty throughout the land, and reduced taxes for three years.
Half a year later, the Second Princess was born, causing hardly a ripple.
However, when the Eldest Princess was five years old, the Emperor was assassinated, and the Empress died saving him.
The Eldest Princess was heartbroken, and the nation mourned for three years.
After the mourning period, the Emperor instated a new Empress, who was the biological mother of the Second Princess.
After the late Empress was gone, the Mo Yan Dynasty was still considered peaceful and smooth, but in recent years, the Eldest Princess increasingly fell out of favor with the Emperor, while the Second Princess gained his affection.
Recently, scandals about the Eldest Princess have been widespread, with many hearing of the Eldest Princess wantonly killing innocents in public, leading to both fear and disgust towards her.
However, after being propagated by dozens of storytellers in teahouses and under bridges, everyone’s inexplicable impression of this never-before-seen Eldest Princess improved.
There were even children who, during play, said they wanted to marry the Princess, leaving the parents at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When the Second Princess, Mo Qing, heard of these things, she was furious and angrily smashed her sleeping quarters to pieces.
"Why! Why does she overshadow me in everything? Clearly, I’m no worse than her, so why can everyone only see her and not me!"
Why?
Mo Qing’s maid, a loyal one, seeing her master troubled, worried sincerely, advised beside her: "Second Princess, now that the Eldest Princess is already out there, even if her reputation is good, the fact that she gave birth to two illegitimate children is undeniable. You know how angry His Majesty was about this. She has disgraced the Imperial Family so much, it would be better for you to tidy the family for His Majesty, restoring a good name to the Royal Family."
Mo Qing glared at her, "You make it sound easy! If she were so easy to kill, she’d have been dead long ago, how could she possibly still be around?"
The maid, Qingu Mei, stepped forward and said, "Princess, I do have a good plan."
"What plan?"
"Since you know where the Eldest Princess is residing, why not send someone..."
Mo Qing sneered: "So naive, she has a maid by her side with a very strong sense of vigilance, how could one just approach so easily?"
"Even if the Eldest Princess and that maid have strong vigilance, they are just two people. Two people with two children, how formidable can they be? I’ve heard the reason for the previous failure was that the Eldest Princess was with Young Master Xuan Yuan and the Luo Family’s Young Heir, but now, they are already settled in Yong City."
Mo Qing frowned.
Indeed, the failure happened only three days ago.
Now if Mo Shu has separated from them, the defense would certainly be much looser.
Qingu Mei said: "The Eldest Princess has no sense of shame, has done such disgraceful things, and it’s proper for the Second Princess to tidy the family. After all, the Second Princess is still unmarried, and if the Eldest Princess, a wanton woman, ruins her reputation, it would be bad."
