Return of the Phoenix Lady

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the door and saw Mu Juetian, wearing a emerald green imperial robe with a print of ten thousand trees, leading a group of people and walking in in a mighty manner.

When he turned to look at Liu Hexian again, he saw that his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his tall body was trembling slightly.

The emperor was coming, and so many people were watching. Although everyone was a little unwilling, they had to give him face. After all, being disrespectful to the emperor in front of so many people was tantamount to going against the court. Adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, everyone knelt down and saluted.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Jin Yifeng, the noble prince of a neighboring country; Liu Hanyang, who is as close to the Emperor as a brother; and Han Xing, who has a special status...

Why is it so special? As soon as our Emperor walked in, his eyes were drawn to one spot. He ignored the subjects kneeling on the ground and walked straight over.

Many officials who were brought in opened their eyes wide and looked at their emperor in disbelief. The smiling emperor who always planned and seemed to have everything under control suddenly had a rare look of eagerness and shock in his eyes. He ignored the kneeling crowd and walked towards the young man.

"Xing...Xinghan? Is that you? You're not dead?" Mu Juetian originally came here to ask for an explanation, but he didn't expect to see the person he had been missing for a long time here, rushing towards him like a young boy. At this moment, he could no longer care about others, as the young man in front of him had taken away all his attention.

Han Xing smiled lightly and teased, "Do you really want me to die?"

"No! How could it be? Xinghan, that's great! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!" Mu Juetian smiled sincerely, ecstasy surged in his heart, making him unable to control himself, and he actually hugged Han Xing in public. The full embrace made him reluctant to let go.

Han Xing didn't expect Mu Juetian to be so bold and not care about everyone at all. But she didn't know that he was overwhelmed by the sudden joy and lost control.

Gently pushing Mu Juetian away, he glanced around and lightly reminded him, "Your Majesty, there is more time to reminisce about the past, business is more important."

Mu Juetian reacted immediately after being reminded by Han Xing. He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, but his eyes were still fixed on Han Xing. He said, "Xinghan is right. You must reminisce with me later."

Seeing Han Xing nod in agreement, Mu Juetian shifted his gaze away, looked at everyone, and said, "Stand up." But when he stared at Liu Hexian, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Liu Hexian had long since recovered from his shock. He knelt down in front of Mu Juetian and said, "Your Majesty! You have come at the right time! Please help me!" As he spoke, he pointed at Han Xing with one hand, pretending to be extremely aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty! This man is actually my third son - Liu Hanxing, but he does not remember my kindness in raising him. Not only did he cruelly hurt his biological mother, he even colluded with some bandits in the world and tried to kill his father and rob him of his money! He is really an unforgivable beast! Please help me!" As soon as these words fell, the ministers brought by Mu Juetian were like a pot of boiling water, and they all started talking.

Han Xing snorted coldly upon hearing this, not bothering to pay attention to him. Mu Juetian also remained silent, with his eyes lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing that neither the person involved nor the Emperor spoke, someone boldly raised a question: "Prime Minister Liu, if everyone remembers correctly, your third son has long passed away, right?"

Liu Hexian shook his head in sorrow, looking at Han Xing with an accusing expression, saying, "That was actually all the conspiracy of that evil beast. He saw that I doted on my eldest son and daughter, and he felt dissatisfied, so he designed that whole thing, and then kept a low profile outside, all for now! So all the conspiracies and tricks were thought up by that evil beast!"

"Prime Minister Liu! Stop calling me a beast! Who the hell do you think others don't know who you are?" Mei Ye immediately became unhappy when he heard Liu Hexian insulting his beloved young master.

Liu Hexian glanced at Mei Ye and suddenly said to everyone, "Do you want to know what that evil creature did? He actually asked that woman, the most popular courtesan in Mei Ye Tower, to seduce me! He tried to destroy my family harmony."

"Nonsense! I..." Mei Ye wanted to say something else but was stopped by Ying Jue. A stream of murderous fighting spirit attacked Liu Hexian. When Ying Jue heard that Liu Hexian dared to insult Mei Ye, he attacked in anger.

Although Liu Hexian is no match for Han Xing, he is at the level of a Demon Saint after all, so it is not difficult for him to dodge.

"And that man, do you know who he is? He is the number one killer of the infamous Soul-Stealing Demon! That evil beast has sent him to attack me more than once. Fortunately, I still have some cultivation, otherwise that evil beast would have succeeded long ago!" Liu Hexian dodged the attack and said angrily.

Upon seeing this, some of the ministers could not help but believe Liu Hexian's words, and some of those who were not firm in their stance immediately began to blame Han Xing.

Seeing this, Han Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, not anxious or annoyed, and just threw out this sentence: "Then please explain why you signed an alliance agreement with the Fire Nation?"

Liu Hexian was speechless. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly shouted angrily, "Contract with the Fire Nation? How could I not know about this? Where is the evidence? Don't slander me! I am loyal to the Wood Nation and even more so to His Majesty. If you can't produce evidence, you are slandering an official of the court and deserve death!"

"Do you want evidence? What will you do if I produce it?" Han Xing said coldly with an evil smile.

"I...I..." Before Liu Hexian could say anything, the general He Feilong who came with him could not help but said, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone Prime Minister Liu, he should be executed!"

"Is that so, Prime Minister Liu?" Han Xing turned around and asked Liu Hexian.

“…This…is natural…”

"Since Prime Minister Liu has admitted it, then let it be!" Han Xing nodded and said something puzzling.

Just as everyone was still puzzled, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly spoke: "Come here! Prime Minister Liu has been convicted of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, deceiving the emperor and deceiving his superiors. The evidence is irrefutable! He is hereby dismissed from his position as Prime Minister, demoted to a commoner, and executed in the autumn!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this! Liu Hexian also widened his eyes and shouted unwillingly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am innocent! Your Majesty cannot just listen to that evil beast's one-sided words and conclude that I am guilty. It is unfair!"

"You want evidence, right?" Mu Juetian still smiled, gently took out a contract and showed it to everyone.

"Oh my God! I didn't expect that Prime Minister Liu, no, Liu Hexian would actually do such a thing! We have really seen him!" "That's right! He is unworthy of being the prime minister! I really didn't expect it!" Some officials shook their heads and sighed, some angrily accused, and Liu Hexian's face turned pale. He fell to the ground, unable to support himself anymore, with a look of despair on his face.

Suddenly looking up, he saw Liu Hanyang standing opposite him. Liu Hexian shouted as if he had seen a savior, "Yang'er! Hurry up and plead with His Majesty for your father! His Majesty is going to kill him. Can you bear it? Dad knows he's wrong and won't dare to do it again. Hurry and plead with His Majesty!"

He thought he could get help, but who would have thought that Liu Hanyang just glanced at Liu Hexian indifferently and said coldly: "You don't deserve it!" Then he turned his head away and ignored him.

Suddenly, Liu Hexian's hopes were dashed. He shook his head frantically, muttering, "No! No! No..." He suddenly raised his head and roared at Mu Juetian, "Why are you killing me? This country should have belonged to my Liu family! It is you, the Mu family, who are so unkind and unjust. You betrayed my Liu family and even drove my entire Liu family out of our country! You have let my Liu family down! So you can't kill me! I colluded with the Fire Nation just to take back what was rightfully mine! Why are you killing me?"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!" Mu Juetian smiled gently, but uttered cold words.

"No! No! I should have been the emperor! I am the emperor! How could it have become like this? How could it be?" Liu Hexian kept muttering to himself. Suddenly, he raised his red eyes and glared fiercely at Meiruo who was lying weakly on the ground. Unexpectedly, he pulled out a dagger and rushed straight towards Meiruo, cursing angrily: "Bitch! Bitch! It's all your fault! It's all because of you that I became like this! Bitch! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

Seeing that Liu Hexian's dagger was about to pierce Meiruo's chest, Mu Juetian immediately sent someone to stop him. Although Meiruo did not die in the end, she still suffered skin injuries. Blood gushed out from Meiruo's back, making Meiruo, who was already half dead, even weaker.

"Someone come! Suppress the traitor Liu Hexian!" Mu Juetian gave an order, and Liu Hexian was carried up on both sides and walked out.

Just when everyone was paying attention to Liu Hexian, Meiruo, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly moved. Her body trembled violently. Enduring severe pain, she slowly crawled up, picked up the blood-stained dagger at hand, and suddenly rushed forward, facing the back of Liu Hexian's heart!
