Chapter 1217: The Princess Consort Whose Memories Were Altered (92)

Hearing those words, Yun Mujun couldn't help praising their wise Empress inwardly. She truly had foreseen everything.

"Very well. I will pass along your message."

"Then I shall wait here for her. I hope she comes quickly."

Yun Mujun chuckled. "Fine. I'll immediately send word to invite Her Majesty the Empress."

Tang Guo quickly received the message. Beitang Huo wrapped an arm around her waist and asked, "Are you going? Shall I accompany you?"

"Go for what?" Tang Guo asked in return.

Beitang Huo froze for a moment. "He hurt you. Don't you want to see the miserable end he's come to?"

"As for me," Tang Guo said, cupping his face with both hands, "I have no desire to look at that gloomy face of his. Why travel all that way just to stare at something disgusting? I'd rather spend that time admiring a handsome man like Ah Huo."

Beitang Huo burst out laughing, his heart sweet as honey.

"Fine. If you don't want to go, then don't. That's good too. He's nothing but rotten mud at the bottom of a cesspit. Looking at him would only dirty Guoguo's eyes. Better not to go."

"All right, I'll send a reply to the Prime Minister so he won't keep waiting."

Tang Guo walked over to the desk.

Beitang Huo immediately spread out the paper and ground the ink for her. Picking up the brush, she wrote only three words:

Don't want to see him.

The moment Beitang Huo saw them, he grinned from ear to ear. Holding her face, he planted several kisses on her cheeks in succession. Afterward, he even touched her cheek and said proudly, "No saliva."

Tang Guo: "…"

System: My heart hurts!

The kind of hurt caused by being stuffed full of dog food.

Outside the palace gates of Southern Shu, Yun Mujun waited for nearly ten days before a fast rider from Northern Yan finally delivered the reply.

When he opened the letter and saw the three words "Don't want to see him," he immediately burst into laughter.

Stepping out of his carriage, he could clearly sense the excitement of the two brothers above.

Shangguan Yi couldn't help asking, "Has she come?"

If she returned, he would certainly treat her well. He would make her Empress.

"From Northern Yan to Southern Shu takes at least a month. Her Majesty's body is precious. Why would she endure such a long journey merely to see a king whose nation has already fallen?"

Yun Mujun spared him no courtesy. Seeing that Shangguan Yi didn't believe him, he waved the letter in his hand.

"This is a handwritten reply from Her Majesty the Empress. Would you like to see it?"

Of course he wanted to.

When Shangguan Yi saw the words "Don't want to see him," his eyes widened.

His blood surged upward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His trembling hands gripped the paper stained red by his blood. Wiping the corner of his mouth, he waved his hand behind him.

The "Tang family" was brought up.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jing also waved his hand, and "Tang Jiao" was brought up onto the city wall.

At the sight, Yun Mujun's heart filled with mockery.

"You tell her this," Shangguan Yi said coldly and mercilessly. "If she doesn't come, I'll kill them all. If she wants them to live, tell her to come personally, obediently return to my side, and have Northern Yan withdraw its troops and return all the cities."

Yun Mujun nearly laughed out loud.

Was this man perhaps a little too naïve?

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, wasn't it me you loved?"

Tang Jiao's puppet, following the instructions Tang Jiao had left behind, began stirring up trouble at exactly this moment.

With tearful eyes, she looked at the two men pitifully.

"Why are you using my life to force my sister to come? Wasn't I the one you loved? Back then, one of you took me as a consort, while the other went so far as to exchange the memories of the two sisters. And you, Your Majesty—you even took your anger out on my sister and traded her to the King of Chen in exchange for countless treasures."

"Why?"

"Why are you doing this now?"
