The Director of Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar frowned deeply. Yet, he couldn’t not answer, “Her Highness Hu Guo Princess Royal.”
“Great true.” Mu Xi Yao nodded. A dazzling light roamed in those beautiful eyes of hers.
“In the years of Jiaxing, the prince of Qin rose a revolt. He made a secret alliance with the regional governors of eighteen provinces and started a coup d’etat. At the time, Cheng Emperor was young, and the situation in the court was turbulent. The princess royal offered herself to carry out the military campaign. Her departure went on for as long as five years. During the period, she had fought three battles with the prince of Qin in Wei Shui, suffering not even one defeat. Later, at the mountain pass of Qinghai, she personally beheaded prince of Qin from the horse. Shortly afterward, she annihilated the rebellious faction and, thus, put an end to the “Chaos of Jing Xiang”.
After the princess royal returned to the court, she turned in the military seal and left her duties with serenity. She merely assisted Cheng Emperor at the side with the appeasement of the refugees and execution of the new policies. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiaxing, the vassal state in the West combined forces with Mobei and raised troops at the same time. Both Emperor and princess royal led an army and took part in the expedition. One year later, Emperor withdrew troops from the front after winning battle against the vassal nation in the West. Following, he heard news of Mobei losing a great defeat. The Emperor was immensely pleased. At the Guangwu Gate, he received the arrival of the princess royal in person. However, what awaited him was the whole army attired in plain white mourning dress and a coffin.”
Mu Xi Yao sighed deeply, mourning the death of the princess royal.
The people in the great hall, too, gasped in admiration, deeply moved as they listened to Mu Xi Yao speaking of that period of unrest and had called to their minds Hu Guo princess royal’s magnificent deeds.
“Her Highness Hu Guo princess royal is an unparalleled heroine. Her brave spirit will remain forever.” The grand prince of Yi praised loudly.
Mu Xi Yao nodded in agreement. Afterward, she lifted her eyes.
“Does sir Gao know the origin of Jiahe Hall?”
Did he thought that she asked for clan assembly, just for a dignity?”
“This…” The Director of Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar was drenched in sweat. He stumbled over his own words, unable to answer. This Jiahe Hall has been around for a long time. How would he know? Could it be related to her Highness Hu Guo princess royal?
“Sir is well-read, yet overlooks historical facts. Qie begs to differ.” Mu Xi Yao shot him a glance and spoke in contempt.
Yuancheng Emperor’s complexion was unusually ugly. The courtier of the fourth rank was actually unaware of historical facts. He could not even compare to a woman from the inner yard!
Mu Xi Yao raised her left hand. The wide hem of sleeve swept over in the air.
“Jiahe Hall is the palace quarters Cheng Emperor personally bestowed to princess royal. The tablet displaying Slender Gold calligraphy1 that is hung high in the middle of the great hall was written by Cheng Emperor.”
At this time, the imperial concubines simultaneously looked up at the tablet. Jiahe Hall actually had such an origin!
Consort Shu looked at dignified and solemn-faced Mu Xi Yao in the middle whose words resonated with power as if she didn’t know her. This girl brought her too much of astonishment. This kind of deep learning, how could it be possibly nurtured by ordinary people? Even members of noble and distinguished families could not compare to her.
The uneasiness in the noble consort’s heart grew stronger. Based on Mu’shi’s previous reactions and current domineering bearing, she wouldn’t say so many things without a good cause. Moreover, with her learning and knowledge, how was it possible for her to shoot without aim2?
Mu Xi Yao paid no heed to others’ reactions. She continued, “The princess royal died on the battlefield. Emperor grieved deeply. He held memorial services in Jiahe Hall for three months. Later on, he extended and rebuilt the palace quarters. All the sacrifice offerings, prays for blessings and imperial clan ceremonies were subsequently being held in the Jiahe hall. This customs runs to this day.”
Mu Xi Yao turned around to fix her eyes on the Director of Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar. She questioned him with a stern voice, “Does sir Gan know what kind of fate Hu Guo princess royal carried with her birth chart?”
Sir Gan’s knees went soft by compel of Mu Xi Yao’s imposing momentum. He kept raising his hand to wipe his sweat with the sleeves.
“It seems that sir Director is totally oblivious of this matter. In that case, qie will have to trouble Inspector of Astrological Service to clear up confusion for him.”
The Inspector, seeing Yuancheng Emperor nod, stood up to reply.
When the minister of Justice heard the Inspector of Astrological Service reveal the princess royal’s birth chart, he was quite puzzled.
“May cefei forgive this subject’s ignorance. However, it seems that this question of cefei’s has no connection to today’s trial.”
“Sir is mistaken. There’s a big connection.” Mu Xi Yao shook her head.
“The calendar system in Great Wei has been alternated three times upon one time. The most recent time was seventy years ago during the period of Chongde. The birth chart sir Inspector has just now revealed was a record from the old calendar. Qie will have to trouble sir Director of Bureau of Astronomy to take measurements of birth chart and calculate it with the new calendar, and then give us a report again.”
The Director of Bureau of Astronomy followed the order. He took up his pen to start the calculations. Before he finished the last character, his hand was already trembling violently. His face turned deathly pale. He grabbed the paper he’d written on and placed it on the side, taking a pen to conduct yet another calculation. He reckoned time and again, over and over till he finally could confirm there was no mistake.
He raised his head to look at the woman who stood all alone in the middle of the great hall. An extremely conflicted expression engaged his face.
Registering his odd expression, the minister of Justice turned his head and took over the paper that has been discarded by him at the side. As soon as the characters entered his eyes, he was so startled he stood up. A panic appeared on his face, “This…This…”
Yuancheng Emperor, upon seeing that their expression did not look right and receiving no reply from them, asked sharply, “How are the results?”
The Director of Bureau of Astronomy took a deep breath. He knelt to the ground and bowed down, “The princess royal’s birth chart: Tenth year of the sexagenary cycle, the thirtieth year of the sexagenary cycle.”
With a slamming sound, sir Gan took several steps backward and tripped on the ground in extreme fear.
“Impossible. It’s impossible. How is it possible? How can there be such a coincidence in the world?”
“This, this is clearly….” Empress Dowager looked at Yuancheng Emperor in disbelief.
Yuancheng Emperor’s face was shadowed with an unusual coldness and gloom. He looked at the person who collapsed on the floor. For a moment, he was being engulfed by animosity.
“Sir Gan, you’re still in Jiahe Hall. Do you dare to look up and face Cheng Emperor’s handwriting and repeat qie’s divination?”
Sir Gan was so scared he kept shivering, his face as pale as death.
“The divination of Great Wei is based on calculation of week, day, and stars. The birth characters are the auxiliary. Qie and her Highness Hu Guo princess royal just happens to be separated by two full decades. Our birth charts are identical. If qie’s birth chart clashes with consort Liu’s, and is ominous to the imperial clan, can it mean that her Highness princess royal who shares the same birth chart as qie, is also the sinner of Great Wei as you claim?!”
Mu Xi Yao’s right hand pointed at the despicable man on the ground. The woman’s voice was sharp, and it rang at the ears of the present audience.
“What?” Everyone in the room exclaimed in surprise, their expressions dazed.
Consort De broke into shiver. She fearfully cast a glance at her Ladyship noble consort whose expression has turned ugly.
Just this one accusation was a capital crime deserving the punishment of nine kinship extermination. Daring to insult Hu Go princess royal who had died in the battle with Mobei; there was no such person in Great Wei.
He Lian Min Min clasped tightly her hands. As she watched the woman with an authoritarian voice, her mind was thrown into chaos.
That woman had fallen into such desperate straits, yet she could still calmly turn on tables. Now that she has the princess royal’s reputation to protect her, who would dare to use divination against her?
Once Mu Xi Yao strikes, it was a fierce counterattack. She angrily rebuked with s a stern countenance.
“The war in Mobei is just around the corner, yet you publicly dishonor her Highness Hu Guo princess royal who had shed her blood on the battleground and whose soul is buried in the desert. Your motives are execrable! If the deceased soul of Cheng Emperor learnt how greatly has a later treasonous courtier humiliated the princess royal whom he had personally bestowed “Hu Guo” two letter, how would you have a face to kowtow at the ancestral shrine?”
Following Mu Xi Yao’s string of words, Yuancheng Emperor’s complexion turned livid. The war in Mobei was critical. How could he tolerate the predecessor’s merits be insulted? In such a crucial moment, there was actually a treacherous courtier causing troubles? This kind of crime simply couldn’t be forgiven!
Mu Xi Yao’s momentum did not diminish. She seized the opportunity to press him further.
“Sir minister of Justice, this case cannot be more clear. Why aren’t you pronouncing the sentence?”
“He shall be punished severely according to laws!” Yuancheng Emperor slapped hard the table.
The grand prince of Yi had a hard time to quench his resentment. “Lacking benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and filial piety. He shall be led through the streets and beheaded!”
His reprimand could be counted as extremely severe. In Great Wei, benevolence, and righteousness, etiquette and filial piety were even more important than one’s family background and origins. The imperial examination candidates from the poor and humble families might still possibly climb up the social ladder. However, once a person disregards benevolence and filial piety, not only won’t be the person able to establish a foothold, after death the person also could not enter the ancestral shrine.
“The Director of Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar Gan Fu Wei had brought insult upon the sacred reputation of distinguished predecessor and made false charges against a noble member of the imperial family in the case of consort Liu. According to law, his nine kinship shall be eradicated and his name removed from the clan genealogy.”
The minister of Justice concluded the trial. Gan Fu Wei let out a miserable shriek and immediately fainted.
While everyone was still gasping in astonishment, not yet recovered from Mu Xi Yao’s magnificent counterattack, they heard her continue with her attacks.
“Sir!” Mu Xi Yao stood up in indignation. She supported her waist with one hand and looked straight into Minister of Justice’s eyes, “Since Gan Fu Wei is truly involved in the fabrication of false charges, qie suspects this case implicates a wide number of people. The one behind it harbors unfathomable motives as he attempted to destabilize the
longevity of the Great Wei’s dynasty!”
They mustn’t think that the death of dog official of the fourth rank would make them escape unscathed! Mu Xi Yao swept her eyes at the left side, her words sharp and domineering.
“Although qie’s knowledge is shallow, qie knows that one’s birth chart is extremely confidential. Whence did Gan Fu Wei scouted out a birth chart of imperial clan’s member? This is considered a prying into the ancestral shrine. In this case, not only did they intend to destroy qie’s reputation, they also tried to consign qie as well as son born out of qie to eternal damnation. This is plotting against the life of the imperial clan’s member. What’s more, qie’s lord, his sixth Highness, will be certainly implicated by qie. This is disgracing the progeny of the Emperor. Consort Liu is unconscious. Evidently, some other mystery underlies this matter. This is plotting against an imperial concubine. In the past few days, rumors raged all over Shengjing. Troubles were stirred up by false stories. This is misleading the common people. The war in Mobei is imminent, yet they’ve disgraced the distinguished predecessor. This is bringing disaster upon the fundamentals of the country. Could it be that such a big case is not worth to make sir Minister of Justice to submit a memorial for throughout investigation?”
Mu Xi Yao’s expression was biting cold. Step by step, she drove the Minister of Justice into the corner. His complexion became taut due to her questions.
The case of consort Liu has actually become a serious case capable of destabilizing the fundamentals of a nation?
The grand prince of Yi watched at the side. Looking at the force of her character and listening to her words of conviction, he slapped the table and applauded her.
“Good! What a remarkable Mu‘shi. Showing no fear in front of death; calm and cool-headed, with strong insight and keen observation. This case involves the collusion of people inside and outside. Machinations run quite deep. Today, ben wang will pull down this old face, and plead for justice on your behalf!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Imperial uncle needn’t say more. Zhen will personally take up this case and punish severely the culprits.” Before the grand prince of Yi could finish, Yuancheng Emperor has already declared his attitude.
Since the doubts over divinations were dispelled, Yuancheng Emperor understood that this case involved collusion of the inner palace and court. They’ve violated the Emperor’s great taboo. Such a crime was unforgivable.
“The sinner Gan Fu Wei will be handed over to the Department of Interrogation and Torture to investigate. The ministry of Justice will detain all members of Gan House and set a date to lead them through the streets and beheaded them at Wu Gate. All the attenders in consort Liu’s palace are to be sent to the Ministry of Justice, waiting for trial. Nobody is allowed to visit. This case will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice to investigate. The Department of Investigation will collect and sort the evidence.
From today onward, nobody in the inner palace is allowed to walk around without permission. Order the commander of the imperial bodyguards, Ji Huai An, to dispatch people and watch over each palace’s entrance. The final decision of this case shall be determined after the investigations.”
This time, Yuancheng Emperor has been thoroughly infuriated. They’ve dared to make a big commotion right under his eyes and involve the divination. In addition, the respectable Hu Guo princess royal has been insulted. If he was unable to investigate strictly this matter, wouldn’t he simply become an incapable ruler who was unable to tell right from wrong? In a hundred years3, how was he going to face his ancestors?
This whole time, Empress Dowager was sitting upright with a gloomy expression. This time, not only has their faces reached rock bottom4, they’ve also almost took a person’s life by mistake. Did they wish to destroy her merits and let her carry the karmic consequences in the old age?
“Daring to act on one’s selfish ends. He shall be beheaded at the Wu Gate!” Empress Dowager hasn’t paid attention to affairs in the inner palace for a long time. Right now, her heart was consumed by fury. She was aware that she had been deceived to a great extent by someone.
Following the imperial edicts voiced by the three on the head seats, the truth behind the case of consort Liu falling unconscious and Mu Xi Yao’s birth chart came to light. The injustice was redressed.
Although Zhong Zheng Lin was sitting upright, his phoenix eyes were shining brightly. His scorching gaze fell on the maiden who was proudly standing in the middle of the great hall with her chin lifted up, not leaving her for a moment.

On the other hand… ZZL, curb your last. I can smell the pheromones from here. 😂🤣
Thanks for the awesome chapter, Summer! 😁
Summer | 6th Nov 19

Poor ZZL, in such situation it’s usually ML’s time to shine, yet he was more or less just a NPC here 😂

God dang that was a ride. Well played MXY.
Summer | 6th Nov 19
She did such a good job pushing Director into the corner XD
azurixa | 6th Nov 19

Summer | 6th Nov 19
Agree 1000%
Scimaiden | 6th Nov 19
MXY is one hot mama! If she wasn’t pregnant, I think she would get pregnant tonight based on the hot look she’s getting. ☺️
Summer | 6th Nov 19
Actually, beside getting pregnant again, all the other things can be done tonight 😂
thesilentdarkangel | 6th Nov 19

Summer | 6th Nov 19
You’re so welcome, thesilentdarkangel ^^
Author played it so well! The ultimate climax was just so satisfying (wish I could see it all by my own eyes while eating popcorn) XD
Mamely | 6th Nov 19
Well I was too tired to refill the pages last night so I had a restless night waiting for the chapter (lol). So I’m reading this hot tea in the morning with good cafe.
As I expected, but I thought she would implicated the Empress, not the general.
However it is much better this way, should she compared herself to the empress, it would only bring troubles on the long term since she would be believed to have the destiny to be the empress. Which means marrying her father in law or sixth prince is rebelling.
But did she talk about the empress just to set an atmosphere ?
Anyway, that’s MXY for you and even if I knew she wouldn’t be I any danger, the suspense was too strong.
Thanks for your hard work, every time I’ll be in a bad mood I’ll read this arc because it makes me happy 🙂 <3
Summer | 6th Nov 19
You’re so welcome, Mamely ^^
So happy to know you’re enjoying it so much!
MXY just never lets you down with her wits. Every time when situation looks dire, she always come up with a brilliant solution! This time was no exception. Though I’m wondering, how many of you truly believed she was in danger?
I think the talk of Empress is to build momentum, to create a wow effect and then catch them off guard with princess royal’s story.
Abe | 6th Nov 19
She completely destroyed her while elevating her prestige! Savage and clever! HLMM, are you taking notes? I expect ZZL to be even more enamoured of his Jiao Jiao. Is there a reward snu snu coming? ;-))
I wonder how long it’ll take for the conspirators to be revealed and brought to justice.
Thanks for the chapter!
Summer | 6th Nov 19
You’re very welcome, Abe ^^
It’s not a bad thing for MXY to have ZZL be so enamoured by her he can’t see straight 😂
Those conspirators will see to their punishments soon (and it won’t be light one)
P.S. No snu snu for now >o<
Kayame | 6th Nov 19
Thanks for the update!
Something tells me that ZZL will “reward” MXY when the get home 😏👌
Summer | 6th Nov 19
You’re so welcome, Kayame ^^
You guys know ZZL so well nowadays 😂
Izznis | 6th Nov 19
Dayum nice!!!😆😆
The punisment though… as a fan of chinese drama and novels i get that he’s being punished according to the government’s law but still… eradication of the whole family too? Urgh i’m glad there’s no such law exist anymore😟
And lol not letting go until the roots are pulled out? That’s MXY for sure😂
This is what you get for waking up a sleeping beast😏
Thanks for the chapter!
Summer | 6th Nov 19
You’re so welcome, Izznis ^^
Actually, in ancient China, the eradication of 9 kinship rarely happened (usually only for high treason). Though, it still sounds so scary!
But must say that from the view of her enemies, she’s such a one vicious woman XD
ZeinF | 6th Nov 19
My hands were cold when reading it. Its so thrilling!
Summer | 6th Nov 19

My heart is beating so fast while reading every words of this chapter. 😫 My hand is even shaking 😣 (by nervousness, fear or excitement, idk) MY GOSH! 😱 MXY, I salute your cleverness and resourcefullness. Can I have your brain? Send it to my bank 😂
And ZZL, please don’t let go of MXY ☺ Treasure her please and show her you cherish her by rewarding her at night (at next chapter?) and forever.
Summer | 6th Nov 19
I think I will join you as I would also like to have her brain (is it possible for us to divide it in half for each?) 😂
iamvilvacious | 6th Nov 19
And Summer, thank you for translating this story 😊. I thank you for sharing this wonderful Chinese novel to me, to us 😌. I find myself waiting at Sunday and Wednesday morning (at 🇵🇭) for your updates with excitement ☺. Keep up the good work Summer 😘👊.

Summer | 6th Nov 19
Exactly! They reap what they sow.
Xxxx | 7th Nov 19
If I standing there, I guess I’ll become a fangirl for Mu’shi and cheer for her.
“Kyaaa kyaaa Mu’shi!!!!! Love you!!! So cool!!!”
I’ll shout until my throat hurt
Summer | 7th Nov 19
Now I can imagine her fan club standing there with bright neon lights and screaming things like:
“MXY, you’re so cool!”
“Yao Yao, I want to give birth to your monkey (chinese phrase for giving birth to your baby)!”
“MXY, take them down! You can do it!”
😂😂😂
Joan Tongol | 7th Nov 19
Hoho Omg! I have re-read this chapter multiple times and cant get enough of MXY’ domineering performance. Its no suprise how she can sleep peacefully at night while ML was unable to sleep stressing about the case 😂😂😂. It turns out this whole shibang did not even enter her eyes to lose sleep 😅😅. I cant wait for more chapters.
Thank you for your hardwork doing a great job translating this novel! 😙😚
Summer | 7th Nov 19
You’re so welcome, Joan ^^
Lool. I bet that now looking back, ZZL surely wants to wing her neck for letting him worry about her unnecessarily……or just kiss her senselessly XD
yumie | 7th Nov 19
MXY is so badass! And all of this happened while she’s pregnant wow! ZZL, you better not make this woman your enemy or the consequences might be the whole nation to shoulder!!
Also Thank you for the great translation! This novel should be line up together at the top of NU with other smart female protagonist ❤️
Summer | 9th Nov 19
You’re so welcome, yummy ^^
I’m so happy you like this novel! MXY is, indeed, one of my fav protagonists as she’s just so devilishly cool (like in this case, ML isn’t even needed. She can deal everything herself) XD
Soul Munchies | 7th Nov 19
Too bad MXY is fated to just be an Imperial Consort, and not an Empress. She’d make a good Empress Mu.
Summer | 9th Nov 19
But from the other perspective, MXY never wanted to be an actual empress as empress had too many works to do and she preferred more to idle around, lol.
EmmaWu | 7th Nov 19
Soooooo. Coooolll… Her counter attack was like bang bang bang… Can wait for next chapter.. 😆😆😆
Summer | 9th Nov 19
I don’t know why but when I saw bang bang bang, suddenly the Big Bang’s song started to play in my head 😂
Soul Munchies | 10th Nov 19
True, but it’s still nice to dream!
Nef | 7th Nov 19
What can I say but DAMN! She’s really good! This was her greatest performance so far.
Summer | 9th Nov 19
I’m of same opinion. She played it so smoothly and no one expected this coming!
Summer | 9th Nov 19
I’m still bearing thoughts of borrowing her brain as mine is just not enough 😂
Phobi | 7th Nov 19
Really an awesome chapter and development. Mu Xi Yao well doen👏

You’re so welcome, Nayfa ^^
Haweii | 6th Dec 19
I am confused, MXY face slapped the people but her arguments were a bit contracting. In the first place, how did she knew beforehand or in 2 days that she has the same birth information as that famous princess? Didn’t she say that the birth information of the royal family is strictly kept? Why does nobody ask why she knew all this?
And those over exaggerated of the emperor and empress dowager, are they stupid or want to use this as a reason for other plots in the Palace?
I hope there is more explanation. But I get a bad feeling, that this is a plot armor to make MXY more op….
Summer | 16th Dec 19
That’s a good questions! I was thinking about it and a possibility come into my mind.
Firstly, she may has come across a historical annals about princess royal while reading her books (it could be supported by the fact how she was able to explain the origin of Jiahe Hall and life of those two great women of Great Wei) and she learnt about her birth date by simply calculating the princess royal’s most latest birthday (for instance, every year, a royalty would celebrate his/her birthday in a more or less grand way, so people would know their actual age but not the birth chart as they lack the particular knowledge of how to calculate it, unlike MXY). This would explain how she knew that she had the same birth chart as the princess royal without having to search for her birth record which was kept in the palace.
Hope it gives a little sense to you.
Marllen | 10th Jan 20

Josie Chang | 19th Mar 20
I find it hypocritical for the empress dowager to worry about killing a pregnant woman because of karma when her son is going to kill 9 generations or something of the Fu Gao something guy. There’s bound to be several pregnant women and children.
Summer | 23rd Mar 20
Totally agree. Also, it is so scary how she can act like a kind granny in front of you just not long before and in the next moment she can sacrifice you without any hesitation because of a fabricated superstition.
Tini | 25th May 20
I got goosebumps…Preach Girl!! U rock MXY!
Summer | 30th May 20
Yeah! My heart was beating so loudly I thought it would jump out of my chest when I read this part XD

Kassia | 8th Oct 23
Hello translator 👋 my first time commenting here, I really liked your translation, I read this novel in MTL and then discovered that you were translating it. I wanted to let you know that there are phrases that are missing, I hope I don’t offend you.
I also apologize for my horrible English, English is not my first language.
Summer | 9th Oct 23
Hi Cassia!
Worry not, I’m not offended at all. Actually I quite welcome people to point mistakes or typos in translations so that I could correct them:D
Can you specify what phrases are missing as I translated this chapter quite a while ago?
