The enthronement ceremony was about to begin. The sound of drums and gongs resounded outside. Li Muge took Yun Qi's hand and walked up the high steps.
Every step we take is hard-won.
Li Muge wanted to hold Yun Qi's hand tightly and climb to the pinnacle of power.
Yun Qi firmly held Li Muge's hand. Although he looked unhappy, like someone who owed money and couldn't pay it back, Li Muge could actually hear his thoughts.
Li Muge hadn't expected Yun Qi to be such a good actor. She was secretly overjoyed, but on the surface, she maintained a cold and aloof demeanor.
When Li Muge held Yun Qi's hand and they arrived on the high platform.
The assassins, lying in ambush below, are already waiting for their chance to strike.
"See? Today, I, Yun Qi, will kill Wu Chen and prove to you that man can conquer nature." As soon as Li Muge finished speaking, Yun Qi's expression changed. What was going on? Li Muge actually wanted to deal with Wu Chen.
Li Muge has truly gone mad. They are merely villains; Wuchen is the chosen one of this world.
Every word Yun Qi said reached Li Muge's ears. To be honest, she was still a little confused about what this "chosen one" meant.
What world?
All she knew was that she would completely eliminate anything Yun Qi feared.
The atmosphere was slowly becoming tense.
Just as Wuchen was about to make a move, a sudden change occurred at the coronation ceremony. Yun Qi fainted, his lips turning blue, clearly a sign of poisoning.
"Yun Qi, Demon Lord, what are you doing?"
Li Muge covered her mouth, her face filled with horror: "No way, that's impossible."
She kissed Yun Qi on the lips, and Yun Qi collapsed, his life hanging in the balance.
Niu Zhan, standing to the side, immediately shouted loudly and without a care in the world, "Your Majesty, did you smear poison on your lips? Your Majesty, I knew you wouldn't let the Demon Lord off so easily. Well done! Your Majesty, I'm proud of you!"
Li Muge was taken aback and glared at Niu Zhan. She hadn't done anything yet, and this clueless guy had already pinned the blame on her.
Jingfeng was originally just watching the show from the sidelines.
Upon discovering that it was the Demon Lord who had fallen, he instantly lost his composure.
He rushed up to the high platform: "Li Muge, you poisonous woman, you actually came up with such a way to harm our Demon Lord. Demon Lord, you are so pitiful, you were blind to marry such a heartless woman."
"If you have a spirit in heaven, you must not let this wicked woman go. You must make her pay for her sins. Demon Lord, you died a terrible death."
The people lying in ambush below were also at a loss. The Demon Lord had just fallen down, and they hadn't even made a move yet!
Of all the people, only Cang Lan sat next to Su Xun, watching the show. Su Xun's eyes fell on Cang Lan, with a slightly meaningful look in them.
Snake Maiden originally did not want to speak.
But when she saw that His Majesty's face had darkened, for the sake of her man's life, she smacked Jingfeng hard on the head.
Hopefully, this will wake up Jingfeng's muddled mind.
"Fool, what are you wailing about? Is it my Emperor Mu Ge who wants to harm your Demon Lord, or is it you who has ulterior motives and wants to harm your Demon Lord?"
Upon hearing Snake Maiden's words, Jingfeng felt a pang of heartache: "Snake Maiden, how could you say such a thing to me? I have always been loyal to my Demon Lord. Demon Lord, how could you leave so easily? Take your subordinates with you, Demon Lord!"
Li Muge's lips twitched: "Jingfeng, are you out of your mind? Believe me or not, I'll crack your skull open. Your Demon Lord is still breathing, isn't he?"
“Even if you go, the Demon Lord won’t go. If you argue a bit more, I’ll let you go first to scout out the way for Yun Qi.” Li Muge was clearly a little angry.
Snake Maiden immediately and decisively knocked Jingfeng unconscious and dragged him away, fearing that before the Demon Lord was even dead, this man Jingfeng would have already brought about his own demise.
Li Muge originally intended to take Yun Qi to find the physician, but suddenly her eyes darkened as she noticed something strange about Yun Qi's clothes.
She seemed to realize something and hurriedly took off Yun Qi's clothes.
The guests attending the ceremony were stunned. They never expected that Empress Li Muge would be so shameless as to break the rules during her own coronation ceremony by taking off her husband's clothes.
Li Muge removed Yun Qi's outer robe, picked him up, and carried him away from the enthronement platform. The people below whispered among themselves, their blue eyes filled with complex emotions.
Wuchen realized this was not a good opportunity to assassinate Li Muge, and slowly left the Immortal Realm with the guests.
Yun Qi remained unconscious.
Li Muge was worried and stayed by Yun Qi's side.
Cang Lan carried the medicine bowl into the palace: "Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while and let me take care of the Demon Lord?"
"No need." Li Muge raised her eyes and glanced at Cang Lan. After so long, Cang Lan's eyes looked even more mysterious and charming. Just as Li Muge couldn't help but take a second look.
Yun Qi, who was in a coma, suddenly started coughing.
"Yun Qi, are you alright?" Li Muge raised her hand and patted Yun Qi's face with such force that it seemed as if she was afraid Yun Qi would fall asleep.
Yun Qi ground his back teeth: "Your Majesty, you can hit me a little harder. I estimate that I will soon be completely fine, just as you wish."
Li Muge "…………"
"Yun Qi, don't be so stingy, I'm not..."
"It was intentional." Li Muge wanted to hug Yun Qi and tell him how worried she was about him when he was poisoned.
But remembering that she was now playing the role of a heartless woman who didn't care about Yun Qi, she lowered her voice and said, "Yun Qi, it's good that you're alright. I was just worried that if you died, I would have to find another man to be my consort, which would be too troublesome."
Yun Qi said with a gloomy face: "Li Muge is dreaming. As long as I am alive, the place next to you can only be mine."
Azure watched from the side, a sinister glint flashing in her sapphire eyes.
This explains why Yunqi was poisoned, just as Li Muge had guessed.
Someone had poisoned Yun Qi's clothes beforehand. The poison was called Forget-Moon Grass, which was extremely toxic. If this grass was ground into powder, it could cause a person to die very likely, whether taken orally or applied to clothing.
The people Li Muge sent investigated the clothing bureau and the servants responsible for delivering the clothes to Yun Qi, but they were too late; all the suspects had committed suicide.
"Who exactly would kill Yun Qi?"
This problem left Li Muge feeling clueless about where to start. To be honest, Yun Qi was usually so immoral that Li Muge had too many enemies to count.
But it could be in her palace.
Why would anyone want to kill Yun Qi?
Li Muge sat alone in the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, looking at the memorials presented by the ministers. He couldn't calm down. If he couldn't catch the mastermind behind poisoning Yun Qi, he would be in deep trouble.
She always felt like a sword was hanging over Yun Qi's head, making her feel uneasy.
Who exactly would harm Yun Qi?
Dust-free?
This is the most likely perpetrator, but Li Muge also felt that even if Wuchen wanted to harm Yunqi, he would have no way to plant someone in the garment bureau on her turf.
