1496: Meeting Majesty Huang

Meeting Majesty Huang

The words Qin Huailing said landed like a bomb. The reporters could not react to it in time.2

Yuan Shuangrui shouted in rage, "Qin Huailing, you're doing this on purpose. Please don't believe him, everyone. He's framing me on purpose. He wants me to get back together with him, but I am already engaged to Mubai, how can I be together with him? So he's doing this deliberately."

The reporters stared at each other speechlessly. They did not know who to believe. Even so, this piece of news was loaded. It would definitely be a hit if they reported it.

…

Meanwhile, Yun Bixue seized the chance when Xie Limo was out and dressed herself up. She brought Yun Dong along, and both of them went to meet Majesty Huang.

When she arrived at Majesty Huang's residence, the guard at the door immediately escorted her in when he heard who she was.

Xiajun Zihao was doing his homework at the moment. When he saw Yun Bixue from his window, he ran down in excitement and said, "Auntie! You came to see me?"

Yun Bixue quickened her steps and hugged Hao'er as she said, "Hao'er, what a good child." Seeing how happy Hao'er was, she felt really heartened.

The middle-aged man who was leading the way said at the side, "Hao'er doesn't really talk much usually. They all say that this child is too mature for his age, but after seeing how he interacts with you, I realized he has a childlike side to him too."

"Hao'er is very good."

After reporting to Majesty Huang, the old uncle brought Hao'er away.

Yun Bixue came personally to meet with Majesty Huang, Xiajun Yanli.

"Madam Xie!"

Yun Bixue bobbed a curtsy respectfully before going straight to the point. "Majesty Huang, although you have already retired from politics, I believe you are familiar with the recent firearms smuggling incident. Majesty Kang used his power to suppress its investigation. This is extremely disadvantageous to the capital and Country A. Although I am just a mere citizen with very limited powers, I still beseech your Majesty to preside over justice for this matter."

Xiajun Yanli continued to brew his tea. He glanced at Yun Bixue and said, "Madam Xie, you should know that I never interfere with or participate in political affairs. The imperial family has nothing to do with me as well."

"That may be the case, but the smuggling of firearms is something that will hurt the whole of Country A. Will your Majesty really sit by and watch as incidents like this continue to happen?"

"You are really stubborn for a lady."

"Your Majesty, I have my own selfish motivations, but I am also considering the big picture. If more and more noble families smuggle firearms, eventually, these families would become uncontrollable. Once a conflict occurs, the whole capital will be razed to the ground from these firearms. The country banned the existence of personal firearms right from its founding. However, Majesty Kang is covering up and suppressing such incidents. As a citizen, I am just really worried and anxious. I hope Majesty Huang can come out to address this."

After pausing for a moment, Yun Bixue continued, "Even if your Majesty is not doing it for yourself, you should consider it for Hao'er and thousands of other children. They need a peaceful and quiet environment to grow up in, not a dangerous environment that is brewing with turmoil beneath the surface…"

Yun Bixue's words were sharp and straight to the point. Her words consistently revolved around the bigger picture, making Majesty Huang see the woman before him in a new light.

Xiajun Yanli observed Yun Bixue for a moment. His gaze fell on her stomach, making him recall something.

There was once a lady, who was also pregnant. Her pregnancy was not yet obvious when she came to find him.

She also sat in this position and persuaded him with conviction to make him change his mind.

At that time, he was not willing to agree, so she sat there the whole time and even ended up kneeling to him to beg him.

Xiajun Yanli sighed quietly. It should have been five or six years by now. Much time had passed since then, so there were many things he could not remember. However, he remembered that rainy night when she kneeled here to plead with him. That lady was Hao'er's biological mother.
