Chapter 191 Just Kill Him
"Your Highness."
Bai Mei knelt on one knee to pay her respects, and Murong Heli walked to the dragon bed of Emperor Li.
"My dear father, I haven't seen you for so many years. You are so sick. Why didn't any of your good sons come to your bedside to take care of you?"
Looking at his frightened, uneasy and disgusted expression, Murong Heli's sinister smile did not diminish in the slightest.
"Hiss... I forgot that all my brothers are dead... Look, there is a body in this bedroom."
As he said that, he stepped forward and lightly kicked Murong Jueli.
Seeing this, Bai Mei clenched her palms nervously.
As if he felt that the expression on Emperor Li's face was not interesting enough, Murong Heli asked again: "Father, are you thinking about the child in Concubine Liu's belly?"
Emperor Li seemed a little excited, and his eyes kept blinking.
"Don't worry, I won't kill that child..."
"Because, that is not your offspring at all...hahahaha..."
Emperor Li's eyes widened and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth again.
Murong Heli waved his sleeves in displeasure: "Call the imperial physician, what a waste, he couldn't stand vomiting blood after hearing these two sentences."
After the imperial physician arrived, he gave Emperor Li some more acupuncture. This time he stopped vomiting blood, but the expression on his face was frozen, and he could not move except for his eyes.
After the imperial physician left, Bai Mei knelt down again.
"Your Highness, Murong Jueli has never harmed your Highness or the Imperial Concubine. I beg you to leave his body intact."
"If the body is intact, I can keep it, but..."
Murong Heli walked to Murong Jueli's side again and squatted down. Seeing this, Bai Mei's breath was choked and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"I only know that if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and pulled out the dagger from Murong Jueli's back.
Realizing his next move, fear appeared in Bai Mei's eyes.
"don't want--"
Before she could make any move, Yue Xing suddenly grabbed her from behind.
With a "puff", the bloody dagger stabbed into Murong Jueli's heart again.
There was another "puff" sound, and Murong Heli's body was splashed with blood.
He stood up and threw the dagger in his hand directly to the ground.
"Bai Mei, if you want to save his life, you can come to me for help, but I will never tolerate deception and betrayal from my subordinates."
Looking at the lifeless person lying in the corner, her eyes were filled with despair and the regret in her heart reached its peak.
Yue Xing sighed helplessly and took the man away.
"Someone come."
"Your Highness."
Murong Heli: "Take him away and settle him down."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The two secret guards, one raised his hand and the other lifted his leg, and carried the still bleeding Murong Jueli down.
On the second day, the court of the Kingdom of Le announced the decree of the King of Le.
The virtuous king Murong Jueli intended to rebel, force the emperor to abdicate and kill his father, and was beheaded on the spot.
Considering that his grandfather Xiao Aotian had worked hard and made great contributions in guarding the border for many years and had not participated in such rebellion, he was allowed to hand over his military power and return to his hometown.
The second prince Murong Heli, the legitimate son of Queen Yue, was made the crown prince.
Emperor Li was poisoned by Murong Jueli, and the national treasure Luoxia grass was stolen, making it impossible to eradicate the poison.
Now Emperor Li has been poisoned and is seriously ill, so he is in a coma.
From that day on, the Crown Prince will be the Regent, and Yue Zhenwei will be summoned back to the court to be appointed as Ministers of State Affairs together with Grand Tutor Yuan Youshi to assist the Crown Prince.
This promulgation caused great turmoil in the court of Li State.
Many court officials who originally supported Murong Jueli raised questions.
"This is sheer nonsense! How can the Second Prince be the Crown Prince when he is held hostage in Dayi? Isn't this simply giving Dayi a handle?"
"That's right! If there is to be a crown prince, it should be the Ninth Prince. Otherwise, isn't Concubine Liu pregnant with another one?"
"The virtuous king has always been kind and generous. He would never do such a treasonous thing. This must be a slander! We want to see the emperor! Let us see the emperor!"
“…”
The discussions became louder and louder, and even some ministers who remained neutral were persuaded.
"If I cannot be the crown prince, I would like to ask the ministers, who can do it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Hongde Hall, which had been filled with endless debate, suddenly became quiet.
Murong Heli, dressed in a python robe, walked slowly out from behind the dragon throne with a smile on his face.
A brainless fourth-rank official shouted, "How dare you! How dare you wear the crown prince's court dress..."
Before he could finish his words, the official was stabbed in the neck by Yue Xing on the spot.
Upon seeing this, the other ministers all knelt down in fear.
"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Murong Heli cast a sharp gaze at the remaining few officials and ministers who had not yet kneeled, and walked down step by step.
"I am the legitimate son of the queen. Now, Concubine Wen's illegitimate son Murong Su has already passed away. Since I am the eldest and the legitimate son, I can sit on the throne of the crown prince."
"What do you think, ministers?"
Those who did not kneel were cabinet ministers who remained neutral.
The leading minister said calmly, "The Second Prince has been held hostage in Dayi for many years, and we have never heard of the Emperor bringing His Highness back to the Kingdom of Li, so..."
Murong Heli chuckled: "Are you afraid that my identity is fake?"
"If your Highness's identity is correct, we, the ministers, will certainly apologize, but now that the emperor is seriously ill, we have to be cautious and guard against Dayi taking advantage of the situation."
“Okay, okay…”
Murong Heli clapped his hands and laughed.
Just when everyone thought that this speech moved him, the next second, the minister was covered in blood again.
Murong Heli held a blood-stained sword in his hand and smiled like a devil from hell.
"Who else dares to question it?"
After he finished speaking, the remaining ministers fell to their knees with a plop.
"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
He is so crazy that he kills people over a disagreement. If he is not the son of Emperor Li, no one would believe it if I told them...
When Lin Xu returned to the Kingdom of Li at full speed, Murong Heli had already firmly established himself as the crown prince.
He first went to the White House and beat up the Yishe, and then went to the East Palace with the birthday gift.
Just after he beat up Yishe, Murong Heli, who was drinking and watching dance in the East Palace, felt a sudden pain in his head, as if something flashed past.
He pushed away the dancer who was leaning against him and said angrily, "Get out—"
Yue Xing hurriedly drove the people out of the hall and said carefully, "Your Highness, are you having a headache again? How about I ask Imperial Doctor Cui to give you some acupuncture?"
Murong Heli pressed his forehead hard, "They are all useless. I have tried acupuncture so many times but it still can't cure them. I might as well kill them..."
Yue Xing's heart was pounding, fearing that he would kill all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau in a rage.
He consoled her, "Your Highness, how about... you ask the Imperial Master to come and take a look?"
"National Master?"
Murong Heli raised his eyes to look at him. For some reason, he particularly hated hearing the title of Imperial Master.
Yue Xing: "Yes, Your Highness. Generally speaking, as long as the Imperial Master takes action, there is nothing that cannot be solved."
