Chapter 175: Court Turbulence
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room burst into an uproar!
Mu Yuanhou and Xia Yunxi didn't react at first and thought that everyone was shocked because Ye Wan said they were innocent.
But they soon felt that the way everyone looked at them was not right. Not only was they shocked, but they were also angry.
Marquis Mu Yuan then went over Ye Wan's words in his mind again, and his eyes suddenly darkened: "Princess! What do you mean by this?"
There was naked threat in his tone and eyes. Although Ye Wan looked unchanged, her hands in her sleeves clenched unconsciously.
Su Xing saw that Ye Wan was hesitating, and his heart couldn't help but rise.
He stared at Ye Wan, trying to get her attention, but Ye Wan didn't know whether she didn't notice or was doing it on purpose, and didn't even look at him.
Is it possible that the princess will go back on her word?
Su Xing subconsciously clenched his back teeth and quickly thought about what he should do if Ye Wan changed her mind.
Fortunately, Ye Wan was silent for a while, and suddenly shouted: "How dare you! As the eldest princess of Ye Country, how could I really be threatened by you!"
"I am only pretending to compromise, in order to expose your true colors in an occasion like today!"
Ye Wan's bold words stunned Su Xing. If he didn't know the truth of the matter, he would have been moved by Ye Wan's patriotism.
He admired them sincerely. They were indeed members of the royal family. Each one was more talented than the other.
No matter how despicable and shameless one is, he pretends to be a decent person on the surface.
The key is that everyone believes it and has no doubt at all.
For example, at this moment, everyone was so excited by Ye Wan's words that their blood boiled, and they all cast contemptuous and indignant glances at Mu Yuanhou.
For Ye Wan, I have full respect and admiration...
Su Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't dare to relax completely, after all, the highlight was still to come.
Sure enough, when Marquis Mu Yuan saw that his threat failed, he immediately broke off the fight: "The princess's meanness really makes me admire her..."
He slowly moved his gaze from Ye Wan's face to the faces of the civil and military officials, and suddenly smiled coldly: "You people are really stupider than each other, how can you believe such words..."
How could the civil and military officials listen to such humiliation?
They were all chosen from among the chosen ones. How could they be called stupid?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the court was like a surging wave, roaring towards Marquis Mu Yuan.
But Marquis Mu Yuan didn't take it seriously at all. He glanced at everyone without caring, and finally returned his gaze to Ye Wan, saying meaningfully: "Princess, no matter what your reason for betraying your trust is, you may be disappointed..."
"Because..." Marquis Mu Yuan said with a half-smile: "Bringing the Queen Mother and me here is your greatest value. As for the rest... I don't care at all..."
Ye Wan was slightly startled. Although she remained calm on her face, she was extremely frightened in her heart.
She didn't understand what Mu Yuanhou meant, so she subconsciously looked at Su Xing...
Su Xing was stunned at first, then he understood.
Following Ye Wan's gaze, Mu Yuanhou immediately noticed Su Xing.
His eyes turned slowly, and he suddenly smiled dangerously: "So it's you..."
Everyone looked towards Su Xing's position in some confusion. Except for Su Yuan and Liu Yan who were shocked, everyone else looked bewildered.
It was the first time that Su Xing was surrounded by so many people, all of whom were officials, and each of them had a higher status than him.
His heart couldn't help but beat faster. If he hadn't thought about what he was going to do next, he might not have been able to hold on.
Su Xing gritted his teeth, took two deep breaths, and then walked towards Mu Yuanhou.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Su Xing, and I have been investigating this case under the order of the Regent King." Su Xing said as he walked, "Marquis Mu Yuan is indeed very clever and cunning. I admire him."
Marquis Mu Yuan did not say anything, but stared at Su Xing with his eyes like a poisonous snake.
"It's a pity... you can never show up..." Su Xing walked in front of Marquis Mu Yuan and looked at him fearlessly: "You are jealous of the Regent but you can't compare to him, so you can only use these dirty tricks to get things that don't belong to you."
"You are doomed to fail, and you will pay a heavy price for it!"
Su Xing's words were immediately recognized by everyone. They all echoed him and even launched verbal attacks on Mu Yuanhou.
"You are right, Marquis Mu Yuan, you are just a clown. You actually want to compete with the Regent. You really overestimate your own abilities!"
"You are not only overestimating your own abilities, you are simply daydreaming! Don't you see who you are? You are not even worthy of leading the horse for the Regent!"
"Of course not! People like this who are not worthy of being on the stage are like rats in the gutter. They should find a hole to hide in. If they come out, they will be disgusting!"
The crowd became more and more excited as they talked. After all, there were so many of them and Marquis Mu Yuan was alone, so they were not afraid. This was a good opportunity to avenge the humiliation they had just suffered at the hands of Marquis Mu Yuan.
At first, Mu Yuanhou was so angry that his face turned red and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.
But after a while he calmed down and slowly turned his eyes, as if he wanted to remember everyone's appearance.
After scanning, he suddenly smiled grimly: "Speak now, this is your last chance. You won't have another chance when you get to the underworld..."
Everyone thought that Mu Yuanhou was crazy. They were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
They immediately looked at Li Yuan and strongly suggested: "Li Taifu, you are the most respected person here. Please give the order to immediately put this traitor in the death row."
But Master Li did not respond, but stared at Marquis Mu Yuan with a serious expression.
Marquis Muyuan noticed Li Yuan's look and smiled slightly: "After all, Li Taifu is a person that the late emperor values. He is not as stupid as them..."
"If Li Taifu is willing to submit to me... I can not only spare your life, but also give you the position of Prime Minister. How do you think?"
Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice: "What other plot do you have?"
Marquis Mu Yuan looked outside the palace and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will know soon..."
He looked at Li Yuan again: "How is it? Li Taifu..."
Li Yuan interrupted angrily: "Don't even think about it! How can I bow down to a despicable and shameless villain like you!"
Mu Yuanhou was not angry either, he seemed to have expected this to happen: "Haha... you really don't know what's good for you..."
"Forget it... I just said that, I..." Marquis Mu Yuan was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly froze.
He looked up outside the palace and said with an excited yet twisted smile: "Finally here..."
No one understood what was going on and immediately turned around to look outside the hall.
After a moment, everyone's expression changed.
"These are...soldiers from the Wu Kingdom!"
"What are they doing here?"
"Could it be that they are colluding with Marquis Mu Yuan to help him seize power?"
"How could this happen! The Regent is still at the border, what can we do!"
