Chapter 510 Ending 3

"So what? If he is lacking in virtue, a new emperor should be appointed. Mian'er is gone, but we still have Prince Mu Li Yi!" The Queen Mother pointed at Prince Mu.

"I am still here, mother, why don't you enjoy your remaining years in the palace instead of interfering in the government of the previous dynasty? If King Mu is willing to repent, I will forgive him for his past mistakes." The emperor sat back on the dragon throne and said calmly.

"Humph, now Duke Xu and Prince Xiang's troops have arrived outside the city, and the Imperial City Guard is in the hands of Prince Mu. It is no longer the time for you to take control.

You were extremely dissolute and neglected state affairs, causing the court officials to become alienated and abandoned by the noble families. You were immoral and betrayed loyal ministers and generals, causing turmoil in the world and frequent public resentment. Which of these is not enough to make you abdicate and let others take your place? ”

The Queen Mother spoke with every word, venting all the resentment that had accumulated over decades.

"If I had not been negligent in state affairs, how could I have known that my mother and King Mu and his son had colluded with the Daliang spies to usurp the throne?" The emperor's expression remained unchanged.

"Ever since the Crown Prince was poisoned, I have been secretly investigating the whole court. Marquis Wuning may be proud of his achievements, but he is definitely not the one who murdered the Crown Prince. As for Prime Minister Xue's daughter, there must be someone behind her who is instructing her."

The emperor tapped the armrest of the dragon throne and said, "Of course, the investigation led to Duke Xu. Duke Xu deceived the daughter of the Xue family and coerced the prince of Xiang to rebel. In fact, all this was manipulated by Prince Mu and his son. Is that so?"

Prince Mu's expression was gloomy.

"Emperor, King Mu is kindhearted by nature. How could he do such a shameless thing? The prince was killed by the Qin family or the Xue family girl. When King Mu ascends the throne, he will seek justice for him."

The Queen Mother once again raised the imperial edict in her hand and said, "Emperor, please do not delay any longer. You can live in another palace, and the unrest will be resolved by the new emperor."

"Mother, why do you have to do this?" The eldest princess suddenly sighed and spoke.

The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess in surprise.

"Mother, it was you who stole the tiger talisman and sent Zhuo Yi to the northern border to deceive... deceived the Marquis of Wuning into taking Mount Xumi according to the emperor's order, and ruined his life!"

"You are talking nonsense, why don't you stop!" The Queen Mother shouted at the eldest princess.

"Mother, although I hate him for not wanting to be your consort, how could I want his life? And there are 30,000 soldiers. In the following four years, Da Qi was like having its spine broken, and it wanted to take whatever it wanted from Daliang. Mother, this is treason!"

"Don't stop talking!"

With a "slap", the furious Queen Mother slapped the eldest princess.

"Mother, I deserve this slap. Although I knew that Lu Qianru had long been rebellious, and it was too late when I found out that he had sent people to chase him to the northern border, I still covered up for him for the sake of my children. I am ashamed of my ancestors!

But those children were bewitched by Lu Qianru and had those meaningless beautiful dreams. Mother, you clearly knew who Lu Qianru was, but you pushed me into the fire pit to win him over and monitor him. Can you treat me as your own daughter? ”

Princess Li Tong stepped back in despair, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother: "Mother, things have come to this point and there is no turning back. I will say goodbye and stay with the green lamp and ancient Buddha from now on to atone for my life's sins!"

The princess kowtowed to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, I hope that since your mother raised you, she can live out the rest of her life in peace."

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, the princess stood up and looked at Prince Mu: "Ayi, I can't help you anymore. I have reminded you so many times, but you still refuse to change your ways."

Prince Mu clenched his hands in his sleeves and said, "Sister, I have never regretted anything until today. I personally delivered the food to my brother Mian and forced him to eat it quickly. Don't let my brother down."

Prince Mu paused for a moment and said, "My brother Mian watched the hand eating for a while, and finally ate it. To this day, I still hate this hand."

Prince Mu took one hand out of his sleeve, revealing his wrist, on which was a deep scar.

The eldest princess closed her eyes in pain: "You and I were born in this royal family, and we have always been blessed and unfortunate together. Forget it, I have let it go."

Under the gaze of the court officials, the eldest princess walked towards the palace door. The empress dowager opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

Prince Mu's emotions calmed down, and he looked at Emperor Gan De and said, "Brother, there is no need to say more now. I was entrusted by the ministers to take on this important task. For the sake of the country and people of Da Qi, you should abdicate."

Prince Mu waved his hand, and more imperial guards came in with swords.

"How dare Prince Mu!" Minister Yin shouted.

“Minister Yin, I will treat a loyal minister like you well and make use of you. The Great Qi will surely usher in a prosperous era under my rule. Isn’t it your wish to be a capable minister in this prosperous era?” Prince Mu persuaded him patiently.

"Creating a prosperous era is what the ministers wish for, but the ministers must strictly abide by the law and perform their duties. If the emperor makes a mistake, he should be punished, but he must not lose his loyalty to the emperor!"

At this time, Zhuang Shizhao also stood next to Minister Yin and spoke loudly.

“In this case, I have no choice but to ask the two ministers to bear with it temporarily and take them away.” Prince Mu waved his hand gently, and four imperial guards came forward to capture the two men.

"Prince Mu, you must think twice. What kind of crime is this?" Minister Yin did not struggle, but reminded Prince Mu in the end.

"Wait a minute, what kind of rule is this? How dare you detain a second-rank official without the emperor's order?"

The clear and pleasant voice shocked many people: Why does this voice sound so familiar!

King Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile: He finally spoke.

Su Qianqian walked out from the Daliang envoy team, and walked slowly to the side of Minister Yin in the gaze of everyone. Immediately behind her, Jian Qingluan and Jiang Baipin followed.

There was silence in the hall. Everyone was trying to remember where they had heard this voice before, but they couldn't quite match it to the person in front of them.

Su Qianqian stroked her braided hair, walked over and reached out to push away the hand of the Imperial City Guard on Yin Shangshu's shoulder:

"Take it away. You have ruined the reputation of the Great Qi Dynasty that values ​​literature over military affairs. Do you think you can serve His Majesty in the palace without any education?"

The imperial guard actually obeyed and did not resist. The man next to him followed suit and let go of Minister Yin's other hand.

"Who are you to dare to act so rudely in the court of Great Qi!" the Queen Mother shouted sternly.

Su Qianqian bowed politely: "Hello, Queen Mother. I hope you are well. Su Qianqian greets you."

"Su...you are..." Minister Yin and Zhuang Shizhao were shocked.

"It's me. I came to pay a visit to Your Majesty today with the envoys from Daliang. I didn't expect to encounter such a big drama. Prince Mu, you were too careless." Su Qianqian pointed at Prince Mu.

"You are the second daughter of Master Su, and the divorced wife of Qin Hanzhang?" Prince Mu asked coldly.

"Prince Mu has a good memory. It is my daughter. Let's not rush to identify her. Since we are talking about the past and Her Royal Highness the Princess has pointed out the identity of the girl, why don't we settle the old scores first? After all, there are members of the Qin family here."

Su Qianqian pointed at the envoy again, and the people who had been lowering their heads slightly looked up and tore off the human skin masks on their faces. They turned out to be the ancestors and grandchildren of the Qin family.
