504 This country of Mu will be handed over to you and your wife from now on.
But even though Queen Xie knew that treason was a serious crime, Ye Chengyan was her biological son, so how could she not care about him at all.
"Yan'er is not yet twenty. He made a mistake once, and you are so cruel. Where is your conscience? Even if he is treasonous, he should be taken into custody instead of lynched!"
"Yan'er is the legitimate son of the middle palace, the emperor's biological bloodline, and the emperor's personally appointed King of Wu'an. Those who kill him should be punished by the nine tribes!"
One voice and one sentence resounded through the palace gate.
When Chu Yan heard this, he felt cold and his face turned pale.
Queen Xie is right, Ye Chengyan is from the royal family after all...
He didn't want to bring down his family, he would rather bear the guilt alone.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward.
But the Chu family was aware of Chu Yan's thoughts. Chu Huan grabbed him, and Chu Hanlin, Chu Ye, and Chu Yang stood in front, with obvious protective intentions.
Why didn't Queen Xie understand at this moment? She stared at the Chu family, "It's... it's you?! It was your Chu family who killed my son!"
She treated the Chu family and Chu Nanli so well, couldn't she be merciful in return?!
Yan'er is her only son!
Chu Hanlin said: "Queen, the King of Wu'an has conspired to rebel and committed a heinous crime. It is only natural that he should die to apologize."
The Chu family is loyal to the emperor, but they will not let their own family be bullied!
"If your Chu family wants to do something wrong, let the murderer confess and commit suicide in front of me, otherwise, I will never give up!" Queen Xie's eyes were fierce.
Such excessive demands made Mr. Xu Ge and other ministers change their expressions.
The Fifth Young Master killed King Ni for the sake of them and the Kingdom of Mu. How could they let the Fifth Young Master bear the responsibility alone?
"The Queen is so unreasonable!" Mr. Xu Ge said, "King Wu'an is treasonous. Even if he is not dead now, he will be executed after the emperor finds out everything. King Wu'an is just the difference between dying early and dying late!"
Another pavilion elder said: "Yes, if the Marquis of Chu hadn't led the Chu family masters to protect each other to the death, we would have become dead souls by the sword!"
The other ministers looked disgusted: "From the Queen's tone, I thought King Wu'an was a child of three or five years old. Since he chose to rebel, he should bear the consequences!"
Queen Xie said, "No! Your Majesty will not execute Yan'er! My son belongs to the royal family... He belongs to the royal family of the Ye clan of the Mu Kingdom! How can I allow you to judge the crime!"
"I will, I will execute him."
A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Although he still sounded a little weak, he sounded tough.
Why didn't everyone recognize Emperor Mu Wu's voice?
They all turned around and saw that Emperor Mu Wu had regained consciousness on the sedan chair. In a short period of time, his complexion was much better than before, and his eyes were not so cloudy.
But there were still silver needles stuck in his head and hands.
"Your Majesty, you can handle your family affairs yourself." Nan Li said, and then gave Emperor Mu Wu a needle.
Empress Xie was devastated by the loss of her beloved son. No matter what others said to her, she would not listen.
All this has to be solved by Emperor Mu Wu.
That's why Nan Li just took advantage of everyone's quarrel to give Emperor Mu Wu a few injections so that the effect of the blood-nourishing Gu could be exerted faster.
The ministers and the Chu family all moved out of the way so that Emperor Mu Wu could see Empress Xie clearly.
Queen Xie's eyes widened slightly, she couldn't believe it.
Emperor Mu Wu took a deep breath and told the truth: "It's me who ordered Chu Wulang to kill the rebels."
Queen Xie suddenly looked ferocious: "What traitor?! He is your son! He is our son!"
"From the moment he rebelled, he was no longer my son!"
Queen Xie sneered a few times:
"How can the blood relationship between father and son be severed by just one sentence from the emperor?"
"You watched Yan'er grow up, don't you know his character? He must have been bewitched and instigated by others!"
"He was wrong for being rebellious. Don't you, as a father, have nothing wrong with you? You blamed him for neglecting discipline and destroyed him three times. He was obsessed with it and went astray for a while. Why can't you teach him once?
Chance!"
When Emperor Mu Wu saw Ye Chengyan's body from a distance, his heart ached.
He didn't have many children, so he had high hopes for Ye Chengyan.
But……
"Anything he does wrong, I will give him a chance, but he actually poisoned all the officials, in vain to protect the stability of the country of Mu and the safety of the people, so I cannot tolerate him!"
Emperor Mu Wu's sentences were sonorous and his expression was firm.
As emperor, he accepted advice widely and made the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But as a father, he failed extremely. Both of his sons were instigated by others and committed the crime of rebellion...
Queen Xie looked directly at Emperor Mu Wu and said without talking about anything else: "Your Majesty, I have been married to you for many years, and now I have only one request."
She turned to stare at Chu Yan behind Chu Hanlin with a stern look, "As long as you punish Chu Yan! As long as he dies, I will no longer pursue this matter! Let alone argue with the Chu family!"
Her son can no longer be resurrected, but she will never let go of the person who killed Yan'er!
She had never had any thoughts of murder in her life, she was just afraid of retribution on her son.
But now...
Her son is dead, what else is she afraid of!
The officials naturally spoke for the Chu family.
Chu Hanlin pursed his lips.
Although he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he also wanted to know whether the emperor was worthy of his family's loyalty!
Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes, then stood up and got off the sedan with the silver needle in his hand.
He felt that his body had a lot more strength than before.
Everyone is afraid of death, especially those like Emperor Mu Wu who have experienced pain and suffering.
"Bring the sword!" he ordered.
"Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt down one after another, and the voices of begging for mercy sounded one after another.
Chu Hanlin's face turned pale.
He, Chu Ye and others closely protected Chu Yan.
Even if they were charged with the crime of disobedience today, they would not let Emperor Mu Wu hurt even one of Wulang's hair.
Outside the palace, Qi Hong stood on the roof, furious!
If the magic circle hadn't stopped him, he would have gone over and ripped off the heads of Emperor Mu Wu and Queen Xie right now!
Chu Nanli, are you so afraid of Emperor Mu Wu? Don’t you care about your family?!
but--
No matter how much Emperor Mu Wu ordered, no one handed him the sword.
Because everyone in the palace knows today that it was the Chu family who saved them, and it was Chu Wulang who saved the people of Mu!
Emperor Mu Wu was now steady on his feet. After taking a few steps, he finally picked up a long sword from the ground.
The Chu family felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Queen Xie smiled.
The ministers shouted even more fiercely, and even more enthusiastic people had already arrived in front of the Chu family, intending to use their bodies to stop and dissuade them!
However, Emperor Mu Wu stood still and did not run towards the Chu family.
He faced the sky with a hoarse voice: "I can't even discipline my son well. I really have no face to live on! Liu Yatou, this Mu country will be handed over to you and your wife from now on!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and raised his sword to wipe it from his neck!
"emperor!!!"
How could anyone imagine that Emperor Mu Wu did not want to kill Chu Wulang, but wanted to commit suicide!
