Return of the Phoenix Lady

No one noticed. They only saw a flash of blood before their eyes. Mei Ruo, who was originally lying on the ground, stood up and raised the dagger in her hand. Before everyone could react, the dagger with a cold glow had already stabbed deeply into Liu Hexian's back!

Then there was a burst of happy and crazy laughter, and Meiruo's body, which was already almost unable to bear the weight, could no longer support it. She fell down softly and the laughter stopped instantly.

The two guards who were holding Liu Hexian were stunned by the sudden incident, and their hands holding him loosened unconsciously.

Liu Hexian's eyes widened in shock, and he could clearly feel his blood draining away. The intense pain made him lose all color. He had never imagined that someone would attack him. Before he could recover from the immense pain, he heard a familiar and crazy laugh.

He didn't take the dying Mei Ruo seriously, and the people present didn't dare to do anything to him in front of the emperor. In addition, the failure of his plan made him very discouraged and desperate, so he didn't take precautions. Who would have thought that Mei Ruo could actually get up and stab him with his dagger!

Liu Hexian endured the excruciating pain and turned around with great difficulty. He looked down at Meiruo, who was sprawled on the ground, breathing heavily and less in. He angrily shouted in a trembling voice, "You...you bitch!...you actually want to kill me?"

Meiruo's face was now pale, and her once expensive dress was now stained with blood. Her entire body was filled with the horrible smell of blood. Despite this, a strange smile was raised on the corner of her mouth. She said with a weak breath, "I... I did... so much... It's all because of you... You... But you treated me like this!... You made me... become... like this! If I die... I'll drag you down with me!"

"Bitch!" Upon hearing this, Liu Hexian glared at Meiruo in a rage. Just because she was a lowly brothel girl who had only been the prime minister's wife for a few years, she dared him, a man of such noble status, to die with her! She was really courting death! Liu Hexian was so angry that he wanted to slap Meiruo to death, but he was seriously injured and had no extra strength left. Although Meiruo aimed at his heart, she was a dying person after all. How could she kill him with a single blow?

After giving her a hateful look, Liu Hexian thought to himself: As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. For the sake of his own life, he can only bow to them now.

Therefore, Liu Hexian could only kneel down before Mu Juetian and plead for mercy, "Your Majesty! Please... please save this sinful minister!"

Mu Juetian glanced at him calmly, still smiling gently, and said, "My words are golden and I have just sentenced you to death. How can I save you now?"

"No!... Your Majesty, I know I am wrong. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy! Considering... considering that I have paid so much for the Mu Kingdom, I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!" Liu Hexian's face became paler and paler, and he was sweating coldly. There was a bloody dagger stuck in his back. It can be imagined that once the dagger was pulled out, Liu Hexian would be in danger.

Mu Juetian was speechless when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Liu Hanyang, who had been silent the entire time, and then glanced at Liu Hanyun, whose eyes never left Han Xing. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Han Xing. Although he was looking at Han Xing, his words were directed to the people he had brought with him: "Liu Hexian is about to die. I will handle the rest of the matters. You all can go back first!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at the seriously injured Liu Hexian, hesitated, and began to discuss in a low voice. Then General He Feilong said loudly, "I'm leaving!" The ministers did not dare to hesitate any longer and left in unison.

After watching the others leave, Mu Juetiancai said to Han Xing, "Xing...Han Xing, you've eliminated Liu Hexian's forces and obtained the evidence contract. You've made an invaluable contribution. So now it's up to you to decide whether Liu Hexian lives or dies. How about it?"

Han Xing looked up at Mu Juetian to express her gratitude. She glanced at Liu Hanyang out of the corner of her eyes, then lowered her head to ponder for a while before walking towards Liu Hexian and coldly stating, "Liu Hexian, in order to expand your own power, you married Auntie and my mother, but indirectly ruined Auntie's life and killed my mother and Aunt Jing. You also indirectly killed Fourth Mother because of your drunken promiscuity. You made Brother Yang and Brother Yun's childhoods so unhappy. When you grew up, you actually disregarded Brother Yang's safety and forcibly took away his memory. You also ignored Brother Yun who had disappeared. Tell me, don't you deserve to die?"

Liu Hexian saw that Han Xing was the last straw that kept him alive, so he immediately ignored everything and pleaded weakly to Han Xing: "Han Xing, you're right... It's my fault, it's all my fault, I'm sorry... Your aunt, your mother, your fourth mother,... and you, Yang'er and Yun'er... I know I was wrong... Han Xing, can you give me a chance?... Let me start over, I will definitely... never do this again, I will definitely treat you well... Han Xing... save me! No matter how bad I am, I'm still... still the father who gave you life!... As for Mei Ruo... that bitch, do whatever you want with her... As long as you can get rid of your hatred... It was me who was blinded by that bitch... that's why I... that's why I ignored you. I'm sorry... Han Xing, Yang'er, Yun'er... forgive me!"

"Forgive you? If forgiving you will resurrect mother, Si Niang and Xiao Jing, then I will forgive you!" Han Xing sneered.

When Liu Hexian heard this, his face became even uglier, but he couldn't say anything.

"But..." Han Xing suddenly spoke, causing Liu Hexian, who was originally ready to wait for death, to raise his head suddenly and look at her without blinking, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes again.

Seeing this, Han Xing suddenly smiled wickedly, and with a wave of her slender hand, a pill was thrown in front of Liu Hexian, and then she continued: "In order to avenge me, I took away the right you care about most, just like you took away my most precious mother. But our accounts are not settled yet. Meiruo has done so many harmful things, all because of you. So, now, if you want to live, eat this, and then kill Meiruo with your own hands! I want her to have a taste of what it feels like to lose everything and be killed by the person she once loved and cared about the most. Let her pay the price for what she did!"

Meiruo, who had been suffering from severe pain but still had a trace of consciousness, suddenly widened her eyes in horror when she heard this, and opened her bloody red lips, as if she wanted to say something. At this moment, Liu Hexian, having taken Han Xing's pills, suddenly felt a continuous flow of power into his body, his face became much rosier, and he recovered most of his strength in an instant. So, without hesitation, he raised his hand to gather strength and hit Meiruo with a palm.

Meiruo spat out another large mouthful of blood, her face turned blue, her pupils constricted, and she died with her eyes open!

Seeing this, Han Xing let out a soft breath, gently closed her eyes, and said in her heart: Mother, Auntie Xiaojing, Fourth Mother, you can finally rest in peace! Meiruo is finally dead! She died in even more pain than you! ...

"Han Xing! Are you okay now? Find someone to heal me!" Liu Hexian said anxiously, fearing that Han Xing would not keep his word. Although he had recovered most of it now, the sharp dagger was still stuck in his back!

Mu Juetian glanced at Han Xing and said, "Xuan..." Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Han Xing.

"No need to look for anyone, let me do it!" Han Xing smiled faintly and walked towards Liu Hexian.

"What? You come? No... wait a minute, if I remember correctly, weren't you a waste when you were tested? How could you have such a high level of cultivation?" Liu Hexian shouted in surprise. He hadn't noticed this before, but now he remembered it and asked hurriedly.

"Speaking of this, I forgot to tell you, Liu Hexian, do you know? In fact, I just wanted to live a peaceful life with my mother and others, so I deliberately used treasures to hide the attributes during that test. But I didn't expect you to insist on destroying it, ruining my hard-earned peace and forcing me to embark on the road of becoming stronger. It is also because of you that I have become who I am today!" Han Xing said helplessly.

"What...you..." Liu Hexian wanted to say something else, but Han Xing interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, shut up, do you still want to live?"

Liu Hexian could only shut up obediently, even though he still had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't know that this was the last time he would speak.
