Chapter 86 The Little Goddess Blesses

"What have you done?" the emperor asked coldly, slashing Zhao Song's arm with a knife.

Zhao Song felt so much pain that he couldn't help but cry out.

"What kind of deal did you have with this Taoist disciple? Also, what other evil things have you done?" the emperor asked fiercely.

But Zhao Song denied it and glanced at his bleeding arm.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The emperor turned to look at Bai Lao and said, "I know that you Wu Gu have a way to know some things in the past through objects such as bronze mirrors."

"There is such a way, but..."

The emperor interrupted Bai Laodao and said, "As long as you can let me know what happened before, I can spare your life."

Hearing this, Taoist Bai became excited.

The guards beside him also let him go.

Taoist Bai quickly took out a bronze mirror from his pocket and said, "Use this."

He rushed to Zhao Song and took some blood from Zhao Song's injured arm.

The blood dripped onto the bronze mirror, and some images instantly appeared on the mirror.

After reading it, the emperor sneered at Zhao Song, "Now that the evidence is here, do you think you still have a chance to refute it?"

"I never thought you would be so bold as to kill Concubine Li's three children!"

Seeing that the emperor already knew the truth, he could no longer hide it.

Zhao Song showed a look of contempt.

"Kill me. If you kill Concubine Li, those children will never come back." Zhao Song laughed.

"Why do you think those princes and princesses in your palace are always in poor health? I didn't kill them all at once. I allowed them to live on for a while, which was the greatest mercy I could show them!"

After these words were spoken, the queen could no longer sit still. She asked Qin Yunshuang to hold little Tangbao, and she rushed over the screen and slapped Zhao Song in the face.

"I don't allow you to hit my father!" Mu Li rushed forward, hugged the Empress' legs and started to fight.

The Queen could no longer hold back, and she grabbed Mu Li and burst into tears, "I have always treated you as my own son, how could you treat me like this?"

"You are not!" Mu Li shouted, "You are not my mother, and you killed my mother. You are a bad person, and you deserve to die!"

The Queen was stunned when she heard this. She used to think that Mu Li had been corrupted.

But now it seems that he is really bad.

He is rotten to the core.

"Someone, drag him away." The queen said coldly.

She couldn't let the child die, but she didn't want to see him again in her life.

"You will be exiled for three thousand miles. From now on, you cannot leave the exile place. Just live your life slowly in exile." After saying this, the queen didn't want to even look at Mu Li again.

After hearing this, Mu Li couldn't help but burst into tears.

"No, I'm the prince!"

"I should enjoy all the glory and wealth as an emperor. You can't treat me like this. I am much smarter than that Mo Junye. Only I can shoulder the responsibility of being a crown prince!"

Hearing this, the queen quickly stepped forward and slapped him hard.

"Mu Li, I will pretend that I have never raised you!"

"I don't care whether you raised me or not. I just want to be the queen's son. How can you, a fool, understand my parents' earnest hopes for me?"

The Queen was so angry that she was shaking.

Xiao Tangbao looked at the Empress from afar through the screen, her eyes full of worry, [Empress, please don't be angry. This little bad boy was attacked by the evil spirit that day, and he won't live long. ]

The Queen raised her hand again, but slowly lowered it after hearing this. "Take him away, and give him food and drink until he dies."

The emperor also stopped his movements and turned to look at Mu Li. "After all, I raised you. Even if you don't feel grateful, the queen and I still feel sorry for you."

"If you really like me, you wouldn't stop me from becoming the crown prince after Mo Junye comes back!" Mu Li still refused to give in.

The queen was too lazy to listen to him any longer, so she waved her hand and signaled the guards to take him away.

Seeing Mu Li leave, Zhao Song sneered, "As long as my son is alive, he will definitely find a chance to take revenge on you!"

[Humph, the little bad boy won't live for many days. His death is all caused by you, the old bad boy! ]

The emperor glanced at Zhao Song coldly and said, "I just saw a strange mark on Mu Li. I wonder if it is the result of the backlash of your bad deeds. If so, I'm afraid he won't live long."

When Zhao Song heard this, his face changed drastically, "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is that your so-called planning for your child will only harm him in the end." After saying this, the emperor picked up the knife and stabbed it straight into Zhao Song's chest.

But the blow was not fatal, the emperor just made him feel very painful.

Then, the emperor cut off Zhao Song's nose and ears with a few fierce blows, and large splashes of thick blood spurted out.

"Come here, drag him to the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhao Song screamed and cried in pain, rolling on the ground. When the guard heard him, he tore off the smelly cloth that was wrapped around his legs and stuffed it into Zhao Song's mouth.

The next day, the news that the people who plotted to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been severely punished spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Everyone also knew that Princess Mingzhu saved everyone present that day.

"That was truly a goddess descending to earth. I saw it with my own eyes. Those colorful birds and phoenixes helped save the civil and military officials."

"Yes, I live close to the palace. The birds flying in the sky are so colorful. They don't look like anything you see on earth!"

"It's thanks to the goddess that she saved so many people. Otherwise, if it had been that day, I'm afraid even ordinary people like us would have suffered."

…

The prestige of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion was even greater, and many people even spontaneously bought fresh flowers, vegetables and fruits for the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion. Even the person in charge of purchasing for the kitchen in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion was surrounded by people praising him and giving him food as soon as he went outside.

A few months later, it was little Tangbao's first birthday.

This one-year-old banquet is held at the residence of Marquis Yongyi, but because the emperor and the empress will be present, the scene is still as grand as the hundred-day banquet.

Little Tangbao was able to call "Mom" earlier than other babies. Now, at only one year old, he can already utter a few words at a time.

Before the banquet, Qin Yunshuang brought a few nice dresses for Xiao Tangbao to choose from. Xiao Tangbao carefully selected for a long time, pointed at a pink dress and smiled, "Piao Brew."

[Tang Bao likes pink dresses. This auspicious dress is Tang Bao’s favorite among all auspicious dresses.]

Qin Yunshuang couldn't help but smile as she looked at the clever little guy. "Okay, okay, since you like it so much, I'll make more dresses of this color for you to wear in the future."

After little Tangbao changed her dress, she chose the jewelry for herself and put on her favorite gold necklace with her chubby little hands, a little clumsily.

Just as he was about to go out, Shen Yuanbai walked in with a windmill in his hand and a smile on his face.
