Chapter 579 Finale 2
Only after returning to Xifeng Palace did the two realize that something had happened.
Didn't Murong Li initially bring back two royal brothers, one was Murong Mo and the other was Murong Qian? Murong Qian looked honest and simple, and followed Murong Mo and Huan'er every day like a little tail.
Who would have thought that he was so ambitious. Not long after Murong Li left them, he set up a trap to kill Murong Mo.
What he didn't expect was that before leaving, Murong Li integrated the five groups of secret guards left by the retired emperor, and then left them all to Murong Mo, as well as his own secret guards.
As a result, his plan failed and he was captured by Murong Mo and is now imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
The two were speechless. The temptation of imperial power was really great. It could even make the two brothers fight each other.
"Yuer, do you want to go to the prison with me?"
Su Yue shook her head: "You go, I'll go see the Queen Mother."
Murong Li nodded: "Then you and your son will wait for me at Xihe Palace, and we can have a family reunion dinner tonight."
"good."
So the two of them acted separately.
As for Murong Li, he not only wanted to see Murong Qian, but also King Huai'an. This guy had been imprisoned in the Sky Prison and had not died even after more than ten years.
Princess Zhaoyang of Beifeng Kingdom was killed as soon as she returned after the Beifeng Kingdom’s royal family was destroyed.
Murong Li walked in the dark prison. The smell inside was so bad that he immediately blocked his sense of smell and walked along the passage until he reached the innermost part of the prison.
King Huai'an is imprisoned here.
Prince Huaiyang is in his forties but less than fifty years old. He has obviously aged a lot in the past ten years in this prison. Now he has white hair, a hunched back, iron shackles on his hands and feet, and a prisoner uniform. He is sitting on a pile of grass with dull eyes. No one knows what he is thinking.
Suddenly he heard footsteps and looked at the person coming through the dim light.
Seeing that godlike man appear, Murong Li hadn't changed at all in the past ten years, Prince Huai'an's heart choked. He struggled to his feet, grasping the iron bars and staring at him intently.
Are you here to send him to hell?
"Open."
Murong Li said to the jailer who was holding a lantern behind him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The jailer quickly took out the key and opened King Huai'an's cell door.
Murong Li walked in and looked at the aging Prince Huai'an. He called out, "Uncle Huai'an."
"The criminal Murong Yun pays homage to His Majesty."
King Huai'an quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Murong Li.
"Uncle Huai'an, please get up."
King Huai'an stood up trembling, stood with his body bent, and lowered his head, not daring to breathe.
Murong Li looked around the place and saw that the environment was indeed terrible. He said to the jailer, "Clean up Prince Huai'an and then send him to the clan residence."
"By the way, let's see how many of King Huai'an's family members are left and send them there as well."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The jailer quickly went to do it.
When Prince Huai'an heard Murong Li's words, he burst into tears and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you for your great grace."
Thinking they were here to kill their whole family, they actually transferred them to the clan house. Going to the clan house was more comfortable than staying in this dark prison.
At least I can move around and see the sun.
Murong Li sighed and helped him up: "Uncle Huai'an, if I had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
"They are all sinners whose hearts have been blinded by greed. They could have lived a peaceful and stable life, but why did they end up in such a miserable situation?"
Murong Li warned: "Uncle Huai'an has such an understanding, and it is worth spending more than ten years in the Heavenly Prison. From now on, you should behave yourself in the clan residence and don't think about things you shouldn't think about. The most valuable thing in life is self-knowledge."
"You thank the Emperor for his teachings."
Murong Li waved his hand and asked the jailer to take him away, and then asked the yamen runner to take him to another
A cell, where Murong Qian is.
When Murong Qian saw Murong Li coming, he shouted, "Brother, please save me. I've been wrongly accused."
Looking at this man who was talking nonsense, Murong Li felt disgusted. His secret guard had seen it with his own eyes and was crying out for justice in front of him.
Murong Li said coldly, "I know whether you are wronged or not. I came here today to tell you that I will not kill you. I will only send you back to the imperial mausoleum. You will stay there well. Without the imperial decree, you will never leave the mausoleum."
He was the one who brought the person here, so just send him back.
"Brother, brother, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to do that..."
Murong Qian's cry of injustice turned into a plea for mercy, while Murong Li had already gone far away. He squatted on the ground and cried loudly. Soon, the bailiffs came and took him out directly to the imperial mausoleum.
Murong Qian regretted his decision and blamed himself for having evil intentions. Otherwise, at least he would still be a prince and would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future, unlike the miserable life he had to lead in the imperial mausoleum.
In Xihe Palace, Su Yue looked at the empress dowager who had aged a lot, and asked Huan'er and his brother to talk to her more.
The older people get, the more they fear loneliness.
The Queen Mother looked at the six grandchildren and smiled. However, she didn't talk to them for long before coming over to ask Su Yue, "Are you leaving Xifeng Country?"
"How did the Queen Mother know?"
Su Yue was quite surprised. No one had ever told the Queen Mother that they were leaving. She didn't know how she knew.
The Queen Mother sighed, "I guess you are a restless person who doesn't like staying in this palace.
You gave the Northern Phoenix Kingdom to Su Qiwen, arranged everything, and today you brought six of his brothers to me. I could have expected this."
Su Yue heard no complaints in her tone, she was just stating the facts, so she tried to ask, "If we really want to leave, will Mother be willing to go with us?"
Since the death of Old Madam Yun, General Yun has brought all the people in the general's mansion to the border, and they have been guarding the border ever since. If they leave, the empress dowager will be left alone in the palace.
The Queen Mother was surprised: "Are you really willing to take an old woman like me with you?"
Su Yue smiled and said, "What are you talking about, mother? You are our mother and the grandmother of Huan'er and the others. Why shouldn't we take you with us? As long as you are willing to go with us."
But once we leave, we may never come back."
The Queen Mother looked around the Xihe Palace, her heart filled with bitterness. "I have been imprisoned here my entire life and have long wanted to leave. If you don't mind me being a nuisance to an old woman, I will go with you."
"Grandmother, really, you're really coming with us. That's so wonderful."
When the six brothers Heng'er heard the Queen Mother say this, they all ran over and surrounded her, rejoicing endlessly.
Although the Queen Mother is not close to Su Yue, she is really good to Huan'er and his six brothers.
Looking at the six handsome and adorable grandchildren, the Empress Dowager's heart softened. She touched each one and said with a smile, "Yes, the Imperial Grandmother is reluctant to be separated from you."
Su Yue looked at the six children surrounding the Queen Mother. This heartwarming scene made her feel warm in her heart.
Murong Li, who had just arrived at Xihe Palace, happened to see this scene. He walked over gently and held Su Yue in his arms. The two of them just watched their grandparents laughing and playing.
