"Feng Jiao, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has failed to properly educate his son and should be suspended from his post and fined."

As for Feng Xu, though he is dead, his crimes are still unforgivable. Father, then order his bones to be crushed and his ashes scattered!

Li Mufeng's fair and handsome face was cold and stern, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

"Isn't Prince Longxuan being too ruthless? Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but Xu'er is already dead, is it necessary for you to be so cruel?"

Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen spoke in a deep voice, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

“If this wretched man’s son is not eliminated, he will surely become a menace sooner or later.”

"Empress Dowager, don't forget your identity. You are no longer just a member of the Feng family, but also a member of the royal family."

My elder brother, the Wise Prince, is your grandson. Now that he has suffered such a great humiliation, as his grandmother, aren't you angry at all?

Or is it that your heart is only with the Feng family, and as Feng Xu said, this "Purple Cloud Kingdom" has already changed its name and become your Feng family's domain?

"Does the Emperor need to consider your opinion, Empress Dowager, before issuing any imperial edict?"

Li Mufeng criticized her without any politeness, and Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen slammed her hand on the table.

"Nonsense! Is that what I meant? Your Majesty, say something!"

"this……"

Li Hongwen glanced at his son, Li Mufeng, and seeing him nod, he gritted his teeth.

“What Feng’er said is very true. My son has been humiliated. If the wicked are not severely punished, where will my face be?”

Feng Shilang was suspended from his post for six months and fined a year's salary for failing to properly educate his son.

As for Feng Xu, he was to be ground to ashes as a warning to others.

After saying that, he immediately clutched his chest.

"Ouch! My chest hurts so much. I'm so angry at that rebellious son, Prince Lin. Quickly... quickly summon the imperial physician for me."

"Someone, summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!"

Eunuch Zhou was quick-witted; he shouted in a shrill voice and then called to Eunuch Yu. Together, the two of them helped Li Hongwen out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The Feng family cried out in alarm, but Emperor Li Hongwen fled the Golden Palace with Eunuch Zhou and others as if his life depended on it.

As I get older, I should leave the tough, head-on stuff to the younger generation!

After leaving the "Golden Palace," Emperor Li Hongwen narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly, exchanged a glance with Eunuch Liu, and the two understood each other without saying a word.

"It's rare to see the Feng family suffer a setback; this is truly satisfying."

Seeing that his father had left, Li Mufeng had no more reservations and shouted in a deep voice.

"Commander Shen, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you carrying out the orders? Or are you planning to rebel with the Feng family?"

At his command, Shen Tianyi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was filled with trepidation and shouted in a deep voice,

"Guards, take Feng Xu's body out."

"Who dares?"

Grand Tutor Fengyi drew his sword, followed by the other generals. For a moment, Shen Tianyi was unsure of whose advice to take. Just then, Wang Feng walked in.

"Your Highness, all the family members of the court officials have been summoned to the Longxuan Prince's Mansion. Please advise on how to handle them?"

Upon hearing this, the generals exchanged glances, then released their grip on their swords. It was true that they followed the Feng clan, but they could not follow them to the point of losing their families. Now that their families were in the hands of Prince Longxuan, they dared not act rashly.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Li Mufeng said in a deep voice,

"Commander Shen, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

"yes."

This time, Shen Tianyi did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, two people immediately came forward and snatched Feng Xu's body without saying a word.

"Son...son, sob..."

When Feng Jiao, the Vice Minister of Revenue, and his wife tried to step forward, they were stopped by several guards who held their swords at their feet.

The war ended with Li Mufeng's strong performance. The Feng family members were filled with hatred, but they were helpless and were all plotting how to tear Li Mufeng to pieces as soon as possible.

In the imperial study, Li Hongwen stood solemnly before him.

"Feng'er, by doing this, you might be forcing the Feng family to rebel! I'm afraid..."

“Father, it’s not that I’m forcing them to rebel, but that their true colors have been revealed for a long time. From the moment they drugged you, our Li family and the Feng family have been mortal enemies. Even if we don’t make a move, they will make one sooner or later. Rather than waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative.”

"They might take action tomorrow when we pray for rain at the altar. We must be fully prepared, mobilize all available personnel, and keep a close eye on the Feng family's every move..."

Li Mufeng only wanted to resolve the Feng clan issue as soon as possible and didn't want to drag things out any longer.

Humiliated by his elder brother and poisoned by the Emperor, Li Mufeng wished he could exterminate the Feng clan immediately. After making arrangements with Li Hongwen, he glanced at the sky outside. It was already getting light, and there was no longer any danger. Li Mufeng bid farewell to Emperor Li Hongwen and rode his horse towards the "Yuanyang Pavilion".

"That woman didn't come home all night,"

Upon receiving the news, Li Mufeng was filled with boundless rage.

Inside the "Mandarin Duck Pavilion," "Blood Purple Rose" was already dazed with drunkenness. Her slender, white fingers lifted Chu Yunmo's chin, and she babbled incoherently.

"Handsome...handsome guy, why are you waiting for me outside the palace gate? In your heart...in your heart, you don't really have me, do you?"

"Miss Han, you're drunk. I've always had feelings for you, you should know that."

Yesterday I heard that Miss Han killed the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue. Fearing you would be punished, Yunmo packed her bags, intending to elope with Miss Han.

Chu Yunmo repeated the words she had said countless times.

"Liar...liar, men are all two-faced creatures. Just like Li...Li Mufeng, he seemed unwilling to divorce me, but even though I made such a big mess, he still abandoned me immediately."

As she spoke, "Blood Purple Rose" poured herself another glass of wine and handed it to Chu Yunmo.

"Now...now I've been divorced, would you...would you be willing to drink the nuptial wine with me? Let's...let's elope!"

"Miss Han is drunk."

Chu Yunmo grasped "Blood Purple Rose's" hand, but she flung it away.

"You...you don't even dare to drink the nuptial wine with me, yet...yet you still dare to say you love me..."

After saying that, "Blood Purple Rose" violently overturned the table.

"Do you think I'm easy to fool? You're all playing me for fools. Do you even know that I was once a figure who caused a sensation in the Xia Kingdom? Back then, I killed people like chickens. I don't know how many scumbags like you I've killed..."

"Xia Kingdom? Murder? Scumbag?"

Chu Yunmo's beautiful brows furrowed instantly.

"What exactly is Miss Han talking about? Why do I understand her less and less?"

"Hehehe... Chu Yunmo, you're so beautiful, can I kiss you? Just once, come on, give me a kiss..."

After throwing a tantrum, "Blood Purple Rose" stepped forward and hugged Chu Yunmo's neck, swooning. Looking at the woman so close to her, Chu Yunmo's heart skipped a beat. Just as their lips were about to touch, "Blood Purple Rose" leaned on Chu Yunmo's shoulder and fell asleep with even breathing.

The warm breath fell on Chu Yunmo's face, and he felt his heart skip a beat once again.

"Young Master..."

Hearing the commotion outside, Mu Chun pushed open the door and came in, whereupon Chu Yunmo spoke.

"Quickly, help me get her to bed."

"yes."

Upon receiving the order, Mu Chun picked up "Xue Ziwei" horizontally and threw her onto the bed. The rough movement caused "Xue Ziwei" to turn over.

"Let's see if she's disguised or not."

Mu Chun touched "Blood Purple Rose"'s smooth face for a while and then shook his head.

"She wasn't disguised, that's not right! If that's the case, wouldn't she still be Prime Minister Han Bingmo's child?"

Could it be that Miss Han was born from an affair between Princess Luo Xi and Han Bingmo?

But what about Wang Shuqing? Judging from Han Ziwei's protective stance towards her, the two are definitely mother and daughter!

Too many questions arose in Chu Yunmo's mind. He couldn't help but take out a jade pendant carved with "Amaryllis" from his pocket and examine it for a long time.

"Young master, what should we do now? She hasn't disguised herself, does that mean she's not Princess Luo Xi's child?"

Mu Chun countered with a question, but a flash of cold light crossed Chu Yunmo's eyes.

"Forget it, let's kill them first. Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free."

After she dies, we'll take the jade pendant back and tell Father that since she's dead, who cares if it's real or fake? As long as the pendant is genuine, that's enough.
