The Way of the Empress

Mrs. Jenny did everything to destroy Zhuo Yang’s reputation and expose Zhuo Yang’s true face. In addition, because on her identity as Moodys’ aunt, she was not afraid to expose her identity as the mastermind behind the scenes. She was very confident even after Moodys appeared at the door.

The moment Rand saw Moodys, there was even a trace of strong grievance in his appearance.

They are all the same type of person, they have done the same things, and no one puts Moodys in their heart. Why do people sing for Zhuo Yang in the crown princess position?

While he was yelled at by everyone? It’s not fair.

Knowing that Zhuo Yang’s reputation was ruined by now, beaten and shouted at by others, Moodys must have seen through Zhuo Yang’s true face.

“Whether my crown princess loves me or not has nothing to do with Mr. Corey.” But before he could finish his words, Moodys interrupted him coldly. “As long as I love him, it’s enough. Even if he takes advantage of me, I am willing.”

Rand’s face suddenly became ugly, and he was about to scold Moodys: “You—”

“However, I am here today, not only to because of those secret photos, but also because of your actions to hire hackers to disrupt public platforms, and releasing matters related to the privacy of members of the royal family.” Moodys said clearly. “Also, Mrs. Judy, Mrs. Jenny, Mr. Rand Corey, illegally raising funds in private, investing in underground casinos, secretly accepting bribes, etc., please come with us and assist in the investigation.”

Noble ladies in Osphia’s noble circle privately amassing money for the family, illegally raising funds, engaging in underground casinos, and trading drugs, these are all tacitly understood in the whole upper class circle.

Everyone has a dirty secret, and no one will say it.

Moodys has always felt uncomfortable towards this. But because of the principle that pulling one hair will move the entire entity, he could only close one eye for the time being.

But today, Mrs. Jenny and Mrs. Judy actually put their hands on Zhuo Yang. Don’t blame him for turning his face and finding them.

He wants to warn everyone that if they move against his crown princess, they move against him…

Since they have the guts to plot against Zhuo Yang, don’t blame him for retaliating. Unless they have no weakness, if he wants to arrest, he will arrest…

“Moodys, are you crazy? I’m your aunt. Because of some low-level guide with the blood of those commoners, ruining the image of Osphia’s guides, you even dare do this?” Mrs. Jenny didn’t expect that Moodys would disregard their status as relatives, her husband, the Lightning Legion behind her, and attack her for Zhuo Yang’s sake.

Just for such a trash guide with nothing but a good face. Is Moodys crazy?

Rand also found it hard to believe. “You… You actually want us to go with you for this matter and be investigated by the royal family…”

Nobles privately raising funds and doing some illegal activities, aren’t these all unspoken rules?

Moodys actually wanted to pin this crime on them for Zhuo Yang.

“Accepting bribes in private, raising funds illegally, and investing in underground casinos are not trivial matters. Don’t say you are my aunt, madam. I will also be asking my uncle and my mother, who are also involved, to come help with the investigation.” Moodys pretended to be confused and ignored Rand, but responded to Mrs. Jenny’s words in a very high-sounding manner.

This time, he had to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys and let everyone know… Even if a relative – the wife of the Lightning Legion commander, one of the ten major legions – moved Zhuo Yang, they have to pay the price.

So no one else will dare have ideas about Zhuo Yang again.

Rand panicked. Thinking that Moodys didn’t know Zhuo Yang’s true face yet, he pulled out the photos of a younger Zhuo Yang and Gordon walking very closely together. There were also a dozen documents detailing what Gordon had done for Zhuo Yang, and evidence that Zhuo Yang was likely to have contact with Gordon after marriage. These were all thrown in front of Moodys.

“Are you crazy? Your Royal Highness, for such a guide, are you going to offend the Corey family, offend the Lightning Legion, and become enemies with your mother and your uncle?” Rand’s face became extremely ugly. “Your crown princess is not innocent at all, and far from being as clean as he seems. He and my illegitimate brother have already had an affair. They colluded in private to take advantage of you. He colluded with Gordon when he was a teenager. His stepmother never successfully calculated him once, but he counterattacked several times. Do you think he is some innocent little white lotus? You are wrong, very wrong!”

“Your marriage contract, your marriage contract is also a result of him designing his younger brother and fiancé to facilitate. His methods are too many and horrifying… Look, I have evidence. Yes, evidence. These are all evidence!” He said, holding the so-called evidence out to Moodys.

He’s still trying to redeem himself for the stupid things they’ve done.

Moodys’s eyes swept coldly over the so-called evidence, and said in a cold voice: “I said, I love him. Even if he uses me, it’s a matter between us. There is no need for outsiders to intervene.”

“Take them away!” After he finished speaking, he ordered Gu Che beside him.

When Rand heard Moodys willingly accepted being lied and used by Zhuo Yang, confessing affectionately, and acting for Zhuo Yang to rectify them, infinite grief appeared in his heart. He fell to the ground, powerless.

It’s… it’s he who has no ability. He did not have Zhuo Yang’s ability…

When his mental strength was the highest amongst guides in the entire empire, there was no such thing of the crown prince being willingly deceived and used by him.

It was he who lost… everywhere.

His scheming and skill is not comparable to Zhuo Yang. He lost to Zhuo Yang, and he lost so stupidly!

He’s far from being able to pinch people’s hearts like Zhuo Yang.

“Mrs. Jenny, Mrs. Judy, Mr. Corey, please come with us.” Gu Che was not as gentle as Moodys, and just took out the arrest warrant.

Then, the Crown Prince’s personal guards who followed behind, directly and unceremoniously put handcuffs on the three guides, and escorted them to the exclusive prison car for guide prisoners.

In the current situation where the crown prince has the final say in the entire empire, the consequences of offending the crown prince are tragic.

The three guides were sent to prison on such charges, and it was a certainty that they would remain in the bottom of prison.

Moodys knew other high-level figures in the aristocratic circle were involved in this kind of thing. He wanted to maintain peace and didn’t want to make a big fight, so he just arrested Mrs. Jenny, Mrs. Judy, and Rand Corey who participated in trapping Zhuo Yang. These three were sent to prison, while their families were not held accountable.

Because of this, although they were imprisoned on these chargers, everyone in the aristocratic circle were clear in their hearts. They entered because they had calculated the crown princess and stretched out their hands on the crown princess.

There was no panic or resistance.

It can be regarded as an alternative way of killing chickens and warning monkeys, and it really showed everyone what Zhuo Yang’s status in Moodys’ mind was.

It is precisely because of this that their husbands and children did not have any intention of interceding or seeking justice. Even their own family thought they were too stupid. Reaching out to the crown princess, who the crown prince put on top of his heart, is simply seeking death!

If it came, it came.

As long as it doesn’t affect the family, it’s fine.

The family members of the so-called noble guides all thought so. Rand’s father, the head of the Corey family, even thought that it was his wife, Mrs. Judy, and sister-in-law, Mrs. Jenny, who were too stupid, and ruined the reputation of Rand and Corey family.

After the judgment of Mrs. Judy and Rand, he divorced her and married his mistress, the mother of Secretary-General Gordon.

This raised the status of Gordon, who he valued highly, from an illegitimate child to a direct son.

But these are after the fact.

When Zhuo Yang arrived at the Corey house, Moodys had already dealt with everything. After a few words with the head of the Corey family, he was about to leave when he happened to bump into Zhuo Yang.

“Well, it seems that I came a step late, and everything is settled.” Zhuo Yang saw Moodys and immediately greeted him with a smile.

Moodys immediately walked up to him and held his hand gently. “Well, it’s over. You seem to be in a good mood today?”

“Of course, I saw a good show. It’s a pity, you have no chance to see it, or you will die of laughter.” Zhuo Yang smiled comfortably. In the corner of his eyes, he saw the scattered evidence that Rand took out to show Moodys he had an affair with Gordon on the ground.

In front of Moodys, he picked it up and asked with a smile: “These things must have been from several years ago. How did they find them? Even keep a copy here? Ah, have you seen it, uncle1Affectionate name for Moodys… At that time, Secretary-General Gordon and I were still very young.”

Moodys looked at the smiling Zhuo Yang and felt his heart soften.

Zhuo Yang picked up the photo and asked him, “Do you think I look better now, or before, Your Highness.”

Moodys didn’t want to see these things, but Zhuo Yang insisted on asking. Finally, he took a good look at the young Zhuo Yang, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, his brain suddenly warmed, and his eyes became deep. “Both look good.”

However, he regretted that he had never seen such a young Zhuo Yang who would grow into the present one.

After seeing Gordon, who was also very immature in the photo, his mood suddenly became worse.

“Why are you so perfunctory?” Zhuo Yang complained in a low voice, but he didn’t intend to continue the topic.

Moodys quietly took the dozen photos from him, intending to go back and cut Gordon out of the photos, and then save those ones of Zhuo Yang, who was quietly admiring his youth.

When they left the Corey family, Gordon and the Corey family head went out to see them off.

Gordon’s heart was very complicated as he watched Zhuo Yang chat and laugh with Moodys along the way, looking like a child. Zhuo Yang felt more unfathomable and unpredictable in his eyes.

After learning about Mrs. Judy’s live broadcast to frame Zhuo Yang, his first reaction was that Zhuo Yang was finished. Unexpectedly, after watching the live broadcast, Zhuo Yang wasn’t finished, but those past, slanderous things he and Zhuo Yang became woven as being part of the crown prince’s party, and they escaped this Shura field perfectly.

Not to mention escaping the Shura Field, the crown prince even recognized this.

God knows how he did it? How did he become a princeling?

Being able to handle this situation so comprehensively, leaving no flaws and letting himself have no handles, Gordon remembered what Zhuo Yang said when he fooled himself into his boat. He couldn’t help being more in awe of Zhuo Yang and deeply admire him.

Getting on his boat and choosing to follow him was the right thing to do.

He is no match for such a terrible guide.

After the royal family’s public relations team reacted, they immediately cancelled the live broadcast, and immediately replaced them with the correct program that should be broadcast. They also deleted all secretly filmed videos of Zhuo Yang and Lin Xuan’s conversation, so that they could no longer be circulated and played.

But even so, this incident still caused a lot of heated discussion online, and many netizens left messages saying: “Although, the princess looks very bitchy in this video, but his three views are still very positive. I feel that the princess is so arrogant and contemptuous in this, and looks even better than his usual normal and serious appearance. Licking the screen! It’s amazing!”

“When he told Lin Xuan his love for His Royal Highness, his eyes were so charming and coquettish! A stunner!”

“Although the video exposed a lot of things that shouldn’t be exposed, and the crown princess’s scheming is deeper than we imagined, I don’t think it’s possible to reach such high positions without scheming. It’s more scary if he’s silly, sweet, and innocent.”

“So, no matter what special hobbies the crown prince has, how can His Royal Highness not be silly, sweet, and innocent. As long as the changes they bring to the country are good, I still support these husbands! ”

+1 upstairs, support these husbands.”

“+100000.”

…

The live broadcast had no negative impact on Zhuo Yang’s image at all. It made more people think he was good, amazing, and made his popularity soar.

Therefore, no one thought the video deleted by the royal family’s public relations team was to protect the crown princess… Instead, everyone tacitly agreed that this was done to protect the crown prince, and hide those matters of raising and playing.2As in, ML raising MC from childhood

Therefore, a large number of netizens left messages on Moodys’ personal blog: “Your Royal Highness, please don’t be so stingy. His Highness’s contemptuous, arrogant aura is super awesome, super good-looking. He hasn’t appeared like this in any videos before. I haven’t saved it yet, and my sister hasn’t watched it yet… Can you not delete it from the internet, please… The crown princess is really good-looking and beautiful! I like it! I just like his appearance of dealing with that scumbag!”

“The video of His Highness is really good-looking. We don’t think that you are a pedophile, Your Royal Highness. Can you restore the video, so we can see it again!”

“As a crown prince’s fan, I must clarify for His Royal Highness that he is definitely not a pedophile. You see – except for the crown princess, there are no other rumors about this. If he is a pedophile, it stands to reason that after the crown princess grows up, he won’t like him anymore. However, he still loves the crown princess so much, and even married him. They didn’t have a spiritual bond before marriage. So, I have a reasonable suspicion that His Royal Highness is definitely not a pedophile, but a beauty fetish. Seeing the crown princess is so beautiful, he wanted to play and raise the crown princess… after all, imagining the cuteness of the crown princess when younger, one will have a nosebleed!”

“+1, I also think so. Yesterday the princess said in the video that the prince is an uncle with long legs. Don’t be too naive and dream.”

“I wonder if he calls him uncle in bed?”

“At what age did they do this and that?”

Moodys: “…”

Although, the video was completely wiped online, Moodys still managed to get a copy. After reading countless fan messages, he immediately got a copy and watched Zhuo Yang’s serious nonsense.

Moodys fixed his eyes on Zhuo Yang and raised his eyebrows slightly. “I’m your uncle with long legs?”

“No, you used to be uncle with long legs, but now you’re a weird uncle…” Zhuo Yang didn’t expect this passage was recorded and seen by Moodys. It’s one thing to tease Moodys, but it’s another thing to make such a nonsense confession. He immediately covered the shame on his face.

The weird uncle gave the unruly child speaking nonsense a hard lesson, and went to work refreshed.

Facing the various online messages about Moodys pedophilia, Gu Che, a close friend and his secretary, was very worried. He immediately asked Moodys: “Your Highness, do we need to hold a press conference or send a press release to clarify these rumors?”

Although, these people are joking without any malice… such an image is really not good for Moodys, who is the crown prince.

“No need.” Moodys thought for a while, but declined Gu Che’s kindness.

With a question mark on his forehead, Gu Che looked at Moodys in confusion.

Moodys said: “These rumors are caused by the crown princess’s remarks. If we explain, aren’t we telling everyone that the crown princess is telling lies and saying nonsense? So – it’s not necessary. Just let it be. These remarks will naturally fade after a while.”

In fact, it’s cool to YY3“play” in this direction to deepen the bond between himself and Zhuo Yang.

Gu Che looked at Moodys in disbelief, and his expression suddenly became strange.

If he and the crown prince did not know each other from childhood, grew up together, or have a good understanding of each other’s private affairs, he would almost think that those online rumors were true.

In the past, he only thought that His Royal Highness liked his crown princess, but now it seems that it is simply true love.

 

Lol. Pedo-Moodys. Those netizens and their brain holes…
