Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 499



“General Tang, you were loyal and heroic all your life. Why would you commit such treasonous acts?”

Tang Feng sneered. “Treason? Betrayal? If it weren’t for my Guo’er being clever, I might really have been labeled as a traitor colluding with the enemy by Xuanyuan Mo.”

“Bring them all up!” Today, we’re going to have a proper discussion about treason. Let’s talk about how I, Tang Feng, devoted my entire life to serving the Tianqin Kingdom, only to nearly be branded a traitor. Let’s talk about how vile people schemed against my Guo’er, almost leaving her with no chance of ever recovering her name, and even…” Tang Feng’s eyes reddened with rage. “Even labeled her as an evil concubine who brought ruin to the nation. You poured all kinds of filth onto my Guo’er’s name, but did you ever consider her pain? You only know how to point fingers and blame her, but did you ever stop to think about who was really behind all of this?”

“Xuanyuan Mo!”

Xuanyuan Mo blankly lifted his head, his fists clenched, yet he said nothing. He only heard Tang Feng declare, “I, Tang Feng, have no intention of taking your Tianqin Kingdom. Whatever happens to your Tianqin Kingdom has nothing to do with me. But my Guo’er will live in your harem from now on, so you all had better know your place.”

“You, come up here and explain clearly to these ignorant fools whether it was I, Tang Feng, who wronged the Tianqin Kingdom, or was it the Xuanyuan royal family who wronged me, Tang Feng, and my Guo’er?”

The people brought forward trembled and hesitated before finally giving in and speaking. “Years ago, under… under the Emperor’s orders, we tried to frame… frame…”

“Frame General Tang for colluding with the enemy and committing treason,” one of them blurted out, shutting his eyes as he forced himself to finish the confession in a single breath. “Who would have thought that General Tang would first be poisoned, and then ‘die in battle,’ which is why the plan didn’t succeed.”

The moment those words fell, the crowd was stunned. They turned incredulous eyes toward Xuanyuan Mo, who stood on the wall. Was this true?

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo remain silent, their hearts sank. So, it was true?

The An family members present were also among those frozen in shock, completely unprepared for this turn of events.

“Your benevolent emperor, for the sake of the person he likes, personally sent another man to my Guo’er. I, Tang Feng, can confidently say I never did anything disloyal to the Xuanyuan royal family, yet this is how I was repaid.”

Tang Feng sneered. “And your An family, just to make An Ningxiang the empress, sent assassins to ambush Xuanyuan Mo, using that as leverage to secure her position. Back then, you were also involved in the scheme to frame me, weren’t you?”

The faces of the An family members turned pale. They had handled these matters in utmost secrecy, how could Tang Feng know?

Xuanyuan Mo, who had been silent all this time, finally lifted his head. His sharp gaze bore into the members of the An family as he asked, “Were those assassins sent by you?”

But An Ningxiang had taken an arrow for him. At the time, she had been pregnant. Did she know about this, or was she unaware?

“Did An Ningxiang know those people were sent by you?”

General An’s face turned pale. This matter had been uncovered, proving that Tang Feng had been fully aware of their actions over the years. Now that Tang Feng was an emperor, the An family’s downfall was inevitable.

“Ningxiang didn’t know,” General An said, appearing as if he had suddenly aged. “If she had known, she wouldn’t have been able to fool His Majesty.”

He wasn’t trying to absolve An Ningxiang of guilt, she truly hadn’t known. Now, if the An family was to face the Emperor’s wrath, their only hope lay with her. She was the empress, and she carried Xuanyuan Mo’s child.

Xuanyuan Mo’s face turned deathly pale. He staggered back a step, his entire demeanor collapsing into one of despair, his eyes dull and lifeless.

The onlookers were at a loss for words.

Scolding the Imperial Concubine had felt justified to them, but in the end, it was all orchestrated by Xuanyuan Mo. To scold him now would be akin to scolding themselves, wouldn’t it?
