Su Mutianjun's voice echoed in the court, filled with uncontrollable anger. His eyes were filled with disappointment and resentment, like two sharp knives, ready to chop down all the ministers who had betrayed him.
However, the ministers remained indifferent to Su Mutianjun's angry curses and continued to express their loyalty to Mu Lige. Mu Lige sat upright on the golden throne, his expression cold but firm, as if he had already anticipated all this.
Hua Qingcheng held Mu Lige's hand, turned her head to look at this extraordinary and heroic man, and said softly, "Brother Li, this is the cry from the bottom of the hearts of the people of Zhaoyang Country. No matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally."
Mu Lige glanced at Hua Qingcheng gratefully, then raised his hand slightly to support the ministers in the hall below. He said sternly, "Seven years ago, Su Mu Tianjun burned down the Eastern Palace, killed my father and mother, and forced me to flee to a foreign country. He used dirty tricks to ascend the throne. He is without virtue or talent, and has brought disaster to the country and the people. He is truly unworthy of being the ruler of this country. Now, I sentence him to death by slow slicing, to be carried out immediately!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise!" As Mu Lige finished speaking, the ministers below cheered in unison.
Su Mutianjun was so frightened when he heard this that his face turned pale. "No, Su Mulige, I am the true emperor, and I am also your uncle. You can't treat me like this!"
Until Su Mutianjun was dragged away by the guards, his hysterical roar was still echoing in the Golden Palace.
At this moment, the chief eunuch Qu Chengde spoke up at the right moment: "Your Highness, what should we do with the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the concubines in the harem?"
Mu Lige thought for a moment and said, "Send the men to Tianlong Temple to become monks, and build a nunnery opposite the temple for the women, so they can stay there with the ancient Buddha and the green lamps!"
As Mu Lige finished speaking, the ministers shouted, "Your Highness Changsun, be merciful!"
"As for Crown Princess Baili Qing..." Mu Lige glanced at General Baili Chuan and continued, "Grant her a divorce from Su Mulihan. Whether she wants to remarry or stay in her parents' home is up to her."
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I bow my head in gratitude!" Bailichuan kowtowed to Mu Lige with tears in his eyes.
The Prime Minister, the head of the civil officials, also advised: "Your Highness, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne and become emperor!"
As the Prime Minister finished speaking, the Golden Palace was once again filled with calls for Mu Lige to become the emperor.
Mu Lige's eyes were slightly red as she looked at the ministers below and said earnestly, "My dear ministers, please stand up! I, Su Mulige, was favored by my grandfather and was named the Crown Prince. But...but now Su Mulige has become the Crown Princess of Laifeng State. How can I rule the country of Zhaoyang State?!"
"What's so difficult about this?" A cold young man's voice suddenly rang out from within the hall. "If we merge Zhaoyang and Laifeng into one country, there will be no distinction between you and me, right?"
