Jinghe Palace

Ming Wang and Bai Yanyan were playing and frolicking, but after more than two months, Ming Wang no longer had the spirit he once had, and his whole body revealed the decadence of excessive indulgence.

When he heard that the Regent Prince Mu Yu was trapped in the palace and was about to be convicted, the Ming King was shocked and perked up: "It is impossible for the Imperial Uncle to deliberately deceive the Emperor."

"Your Highness, do you trust the Regent so much?" Bai Yanyan asked with a sweet smile.

"The uncle doesn't have to deceive the emperor. He can just be the emperor." The king stood up and said, "Someone, change your clothes! I want to see the queen mother!"

Bai Yanyan was stunned. She didn't expect that the young Ming Wang would have such insight and courage. If she hadn't destroyed him, maybe...

pat!

The dominoes on Ming Wang's body fell off and hit the ground.

Bai Yanyan regained her composure and her heart hardened again.

No, he is the old witch's son! Her enemy!

"Qinghuan, please wait in the palace. I'll be back soon." King Ming left in a hurry.

Bai Yanyan picked up the dominoes and put them to her nose, greedily sniffing the scent on them.

Sister, sister...

This is my sister's bone!

The old witch overestimated her own capabilities and wanted to attack Mu Li. Her chance for revenge has finally come!

Bai Yanyan kept the dominoes close to her body and walked towards the imperial study slowly and gracefully.

……

Before Mu Qi could even leave the palace, he was taken to the imperial study.

Mu Yu stood calmly in the middle of the hall, looking at the young emperor behind the imperial desk: "Your Majesty, do you think that I deliberately let Shen Lin go?"

"Isn't it?" Mu Heng asked sternly.

"No." Mu Li said.

Mu Heng slammed the table and said, "The facts are before us. Prince Regent, please stop making excuses! You have deceived the emperor and deliberately let the enemy general go, laying a hidden danger for the Western Barbarians. This crime cannot be forgiven lightly."

"Then the emperor wants to chop off my head?" Mu Li put his hands behind his back. He had an aura of majesty without even speaking loudly. He was more courageous and intimidating than the young emperors in high positions.

"Western barbarians have laws that the emperor and common people are subject to the same crime. The guilt of the emperor's uncle will be decided after a joint trial in the Dali Temple." Mu Heng stared at Mu Li, and his long-suppressed ambition finally revealed itself.

Empress Dowager Su sat beside the imperial desk with a solemn expression.

This mother and son have been harboring murderous intentions for a long time, and today they finally get to realize their ambitions.

Let Mu Li go to the Dali Temple for trial. Even if the final verdict is not a death sentence, Mu Li cannot walk out of the Dali Temple alive!

They were well aware of Mu Li's powerful influence in the court, so today's incident did not alarm the officials. They only ordered the imperial guards to surround the imperial study to prevent Mu Li from escaping.

"If I have not deceived the emperor, what crime would the emperor be guilty of today?" Mu Li suddenly asked.

Mu Heng was stunned.

"Your Majesty just said that if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people. If Your Majesty arbitrarily accuses me, what crime should I be punished for?" Mu Li asked.

Mu Heng laughed: "Is Shen Lin not alive? The entire Southern Wasteland will be taken down by him!"

"Yes, the person fighting in the Southern Wilderness is Shen Lin."

"So, uncle, plead guilty!"

Mu Li shook his head and smiled faintly.

"What are you laughing at, Uncle?" Mu Heng's chest heaved and his palms were sweating from nervousness.

He was determined to win today, but his heart was beating so fast! Was he excited about his success?

"Your Majesty, after all these years, your IQ is still worrying. If you draw a circle around yourself, you will end up imprisoning yourself." Mu Li smiled, "You have been trying to find faults with me for many years, right?

Mu Heng pursed his lips and said nothing, gripping the armrests of the chair with both hands.

"The Queen Mother has personally verified the faked death of Shen Lin. Even the meticulous Queen Mother was deceived, let alone me?" Mu Li sighed, "Your Majesty, you are too hasty. You have torn your relationship with me just because of such a small matter."

Empress Dowager Su sneered: "I was also deceived by you!"

"What if I have also been deceived?" Mu Li said.

Queen Mother Su said righteously: "I trusted you, so I was deceived. As for what you had in mind, you know it in your heart! The real Shen Lin left Kyoto, crossed the mountains and rivers of my Western Yi and arrived in the Southern Wilderness. In this process, didn't you, the Regent, contribute?"

"Have."

Mu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, with a crazy look in his eyes: "Since the Regent has already pleaded guilty, then surrender! Come! Take the Regent to the Dali Temple!"

But, no one moved!

Mu Heng and Queen Mother Su were stunned and looked at each other in panic.

Mu Heng stood up and shouted: "Someone come!"

Still no movement.

"Regent, what did you do?" Queen Mother Su finally realized that something was wrong and stood up in panic.

Mu Qi's face darkened: "Sister-in-law, if I wanted to do it, why would I have to wait until today?"

"You don't want to be a traitor, but you are training your son to be an emperor. But the emperor of Xiyi has no children!" Queen Mother Su glared at Mu Yu, "Regent, I know what you are thinking. The emperor has no children, so he can only adopt a child from you. In the end, won't the country of Xiyi fall into your hands?"

"The emperor has no son. What does this have to do with me?" Mu Li frowned.

Mu Heng smiled sadly: "If you hadn't made me take the elixir of extinction, how could I be childless? Fifteen years ago, I had just grown up!"

"Fifteen years ago? The Elixir of No Succession? How did this come about?" Mu Li was even more confused. "I have never done such a thing!"

"The person who forced me to take the Elixir of Inheritance that night said clearly that it was you who instructed me to do so!" Mu Heng roared.

Mu Li shook his head: "No, no..."

"Ha ha……"

An extremely charming laugh suddenly came.

Queen Mother Su was shocked and blurted out: "Witch Concubine!"

"Where did this evil concubine come from? It's me." Bai Yanyan supported the dazed Ming Wang and passed through the imperial study without any obstruction.

"Ye Qinghuan you..."

"I'm not Ye Qinghuan."

Bai Yanyan smiled sweetly and slowly tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing her true face.

The face that resembled the demon concubine frightened the Empress Dowager Su so much that her face turned pale and she fell down on the red chair: "Demon concubine, demon concubine!"

"Ah, the Queen Mother still remembers my sister!" Bai Yanyan smiled charmingly, "Your eyesight is not good either. How can you blame the Regent for Shen Lin's fake death?"

"Did you do this?" Empress Dowager Su pointed at Bai Yanyan and asked in a trembling voice.

Bai Yanyan nodded: "Yes! I did it."

Mu Qi frowned but didn't say anything.

"I did all this! Otherwise, how could the Regent see the murderous intentions of you and your son?" Bai Yanyan laughed so hard that her body shook.

Empress Dowager Su reacted quickly: I've been fooled!

This is a conspiracy of the Wu clan!

Twenty years was such a long time that she almost forgot the sins she had committed.

In fact, in the years after the death of the Demon Concubine, the Wu people came to the Xiyi Palace one after another, wanting to take back the remains of the Demon Concubine and the Danzhu. So she built the Star Observation Tower, advertised it to the public as the place where the remains of the Demon Concubine were stored, and heavily guarded it so that the Wu people could not return.

Unfortunately, in the end, the Danzhu and the bone box made from the remains of the demon concubine were stolen.

She thought that the person who stole the things wanted to cure Ye Qinghuan's heart-eating poison, but she didn't expect that it was actually done by the witch clan!
