Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1239: Make Use of It

“Well... Elder Shuang.” Somebody else finally talked. It was the current Saintess of Qiong-Hua Palace, Cheng Bingmei.

Because Yue Shuang and Yue Han had been obviously favoring Yue Gongxue in intransigence, Cheng Bingmei understood it would be turning against the two elders if she insisted in stopping Ye Nantian.

What she wanted at the moment was to make the sect lose the least...

Most importantly, she was reconciled to see Yue Gongxue leave the set in such a high-profile and luxury way! After all, Yue Gongxue was the former Saintess who had strongly violated the rule in the palace, slept with a man and even bred a child! Cheng Bingmei just couldn’t stand it!

Besides, the Moon Queen was lost in wordlessness, so the current Saintess of the palace would surely stand up and unleashed her voice!

“Well... The gifts... What you suggested is too much... Besides, we should better discuss it among ourselves...” She looked at Ye Nantian and said, “We have a visitor here after all...”

What she meant was obvious.

The Moon Queen, who was embarrassed, felt that Cheng Bingmei was being quite reasonable, so she nodded to praise. When she was going to say something to support the Saintess, Yue Shuang suddenly turned around and moved fast to the front of Cheng Bingmei, and then smacked her on the face, saying coldly, “Who do you think you are? We are discussing a great matter of the sect! Do you think you are qualified enough to interrupt? Don’t you know this is about the reputation, the dignity, the fame of our great palace? Didn’t your master teach you how to behave? You are extremely disrespectful!”

“Impudicity!” Yue Han was furious too. She wanted to slap that woman too, but the Saintess had been smacked away over a dozen meters. The Saintess’s face was swollen with five fingerprints on it.

This woman had always objected to Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue’s marriage. She was the one who ratted out Yue Gongxue back to the year and did all those dirty tricks to make it a tragedy.

She did it because she was jealous, and she wanted to replace Yue Gongxue. Shuang and Han knew clearly about this history.

They had been planning to find an excuse to beat this shameless woman up some time, but the rat jumped out herself before the two ladies did anything. What a great opportunity! They surely had to seize the chance to beat her up for their beloved brother!

That was why Yue Shuang smacked the woman so hard.

She didn’t do it in full power though; otherwise, the woman’s head would have been exploded!

The sound of the smack was resounding in the hall.

The Moon Queen finally couldn’t stay silent. She frowned and said, “Sisters, are you going too far? Bingmei is our Saintess after all. What she said, she said it for me. She might be reckless, but you don’t have to hurt her like that!”

Yue Shuang distantly said, “Prime Master, you said it yourself. She was reckless. I hate it when somebody violates the rules. And I never spare anybody who annoyed me! She interrupted in the conversation and disturbed me in such an important discussion. That was much of a violation! She questioned my suggestion! Lawless! If we tolerate that, who knows what she may become in the future. I had restrained my power when I smacked her because she is our Saintess! If I slapped her in full power, she would have died immediately! She has violated the rule! She deserved it! How do we rule the palace if we don’t stick to it?”

The others were all silent.

[Violation?]

[If what she did was violation...]

[What about what you two have been doing?]

[You have been pushing our Moon Queen unscrupulously and arrogantly! That is much more than a violation, isn’t it?]

[Shame on you, talking like you are that honorable!]

[How shameless...]

[Do you really think we can’t see the truth behind this? You two are standing on Ye Nantian’s side all along! You wanted to hurt Cheng Bingmei in the first place!]

Yue Han nodded after Yue Shuang finished talking. She started to speak in a deep voice, “That’s right. I think Cheng Bingmei has misbehaved. She must be vile and unruly deep in her heart. I don’t see why we should let her be our Saintess! I suggest that the Moon Queen should give an order to depose the filthy woman as a warning to all!”

The crowd burst into surprisal. Cheng Bingmei was trembling, while the hatred in her face became fear immediately.

[If I am dismissed... I am done!]

[Elder Yue Han suggested the deposition... She and her sister are in significant positions in the palace... They are obviously hostile to me... My life after this is going to be difficult in the sect!]

[But... I... I never did anything offensive to the two elders! I never even slight them a little bit!]

The Moon Queen didn’t look so well. She said, “Elder Han, that may be too much... Bingmei only cared for the palace too much. She didn’t mean anything offensive. Even if she had said anything wrong, maybe we don’t have to depose her for a mistake like that.”

Yue Shuang sneered, “Cared for the palace too much? Does she really think that those treasures are more important than our dignity and fame? Doesn’t it matter? I know she is your disciple, Moon Queen, but maybe you should think about the influence before you make the decision!”

She just kept sticking to the fame and dignity of Qiong-Hua Palace and would give in a bit...

Moon Queen wasn’t embarrassed anymore, but utterly aching in the head. Apparently, she was in a tough spot.

“I... suddenly feel a headache... It must be my old injury...” Her face suddenly turned colorless. She said, “Let’s call it a day. We will discuss it tomorrow.”

She was out of options, so she hurriedly found an excuse to end the chaos and sent the two sisters off. She kept sighing and frowning.

[I would never have thought that this is happening...]

[Is this the turning point they said?]

[Good fortunes running out; nothing good ever approaching.]

However, when she was having a headache thinking about how to deal with her two younger sisters, she was also having a sullen feeling of unwillingness... In fact, she also felt... joy deep in her heart.

[Xue-er...] The Moon Queen couldn’t sleep for the whole night. She stood in the darkness of the night and sighed to the moon, [This is going to end up what you like... The difficulty comes to an end... An enjoyable future is near...]

She sounded even a bit relieved...

After a while, she gave an order. “Restore all the Saintess supplies to Yue Gongxue. Serve her well. Choose an auspicious day for her to enter the main hall.”

“Yes, Moon Queen.”

The two sword guards looked glad, so they answered quickly and loudly.

They were the Moon Queen’s private guards who knew how important Yue Gongxue was to the Moon Queen. The day when Yue Gongxue regained her freedom was also the day the Moon King eased the burden in her heart!
