Chapter 89
"Hey," Li Muhan's heart turned cold, and he couldn't help frowning, "Shi Yirou, I can't believe this came from you. Since the child was born, you have been hugged in my arms like a sweetheart. You keep persuading me, If you want me to believe, this child will definitely get better. Now that the Dong Chuang incident has happened, you actually cursed the child to die?"

"No!" Shi Yirou shook his head desperately, defending with tears streaming down his face, "The concubine didn't want the child to die. The concubine was just stating a fact. If the existence of this child embarrasses His Majesty, it won't be embarrassing for long... "

"Shi Yirou——" Li Muhan roared violently, slapped the handrail and suddenly stood up, he quickly walked down the steps, raised his foot and suddenly kicked Shi Yirou down.

"Ah—" Shi Yirou screamed, and threw herself on the ground, trembling with fear, like shaking a rice sieve.Li Muhan had never been so rough to her before, her heart felt like being scratched by rough porcelain shards, the pain was unbearable.

"Shut up for me! You make me feel sick! Shi Yirou, I never thought that you are such a selfish person! You are full of lies. You can be so righteous when you do something wrong—"

Li Muhan was really chilled to the extreme, he pointed at Shi Rou and scolded him angrily.

"Do you think it is possible for me to forgive you? You drugged me, intending to deceive the king itself is a capital crime! You are with others by mistake, and it is also a capital crime! Without this innocent child, you have already died several times, you have Is it necessary to use this child again as an excuse?"

After hearing this, Shi Yirou wept bitterly, heartbroken.

Indeed, it was too late, too late—

Shi Hongchang's face was ashen ashes, and he knelt down on the ground dejectedly. Any words of pleading now seemed pale and powerless.

"Come here, put this child Shi Yirou into limbo, and let him fend for himself!" Li Muhan ordered in a heartbroken voice.

Several guards came up and were about to carry out the holy order.

"Wait a minute!" Hua Man'er stopped in a cold voice, "There is still work to be done! If you want to be in the cold palace, you have to settle this stupid account first!"

Li Muhan's expression darkened, and he stared at Hua Man'er in a daze: "What kind of foolishness?"

"Hmph! There are a lot of fools! Your Majesty, just wait and see the good show!" Hua Man'er strode past Li Muhan, squatted down and stared at Shi Yirou, mocking, "I didn't know until I met you, the princess. What do you mean by 'the most poisonous woman's heart'! Don't worry, the Leng Palace will never be your destination, killing people pays for your life, you don't deserve to live in the Leng Palace!"

Hearing this, Shi Yirou shivered, and the white figure that appeared in the dream suddenly flashed across his mind.But how did Huamaner know?Hasn't she been busy in Sa country for the past six months?
She opened her apricot eyes swollen like walnuts from crying, and stared at Hua Man'er in horror.

Suddenly, she stretched out her claws to grab Hua Man'er's face, but Hua Man'er avoided it lightly, and stood up with a cold face.

Shi Yirou threw herself on the ground in despair, and screamed: "Who killed someone? Hua Man'er, please explain clearly. Why do you have to deal with me like this? Who killed someone?"

"Murder?" Li Muhan frowned, walked up to Hua Man'er step by step, looked down at her condescendingly, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me!"

The corner of Hua Man'er's lips curled into a sneer, and he said calmly: "Don't worry, let's save such a serious crime as murder, and we'll talk about it later, let's talk about it one by one today, and let's make it clear! Witness, to prove that the accusation against you just now is true, and not made up by this princess."

As soon as the words fell, Hua Man'er slapped three times.

At this time, three people walked in quickly from outside the hall, namely Xiang Wang Xia Zikai, Han Feng, and Lianxin.

"Ah——" Shi Hongchang and Ren Xun looked at each other, their expressions changed drastically, and their faces were ashen.

"You—" Li Muhan was also taken aback. Regarding this matter, he tried his best for the past three months and failed to find the three missing people, yet they appeared at the same time today.

"See Your Majesty!" The three stepped forward to salute.

"What's going on here? Prince Xiang, where have you been these past few months?" Li Muhan asked urgently.

Before King Xiang could answer, he asked Han Feng again: "How dare you come to the palace in a grand manner?"

Han Feng looked at Maya with a smile: "Because Your Majesty promised me that as long as I come to the palace to testify, he will forgive me for assassinating the eldest princess. Your Majesty's mind is wider than the sky, why should I avoid it?"

Li Muhan took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly darkened a little.Now, hearing anything in praise of Maya was quite jarring to him.

Xia Zikai also replied: "The disappearance of these three months, I have to ask the imperial concubine. Let Lianxin tell. Lianxin is loyal to His Majesty, and His Majesty will believe what she said, right?"

Li Muhan cast his eyes on Lianxin.

Lianxin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and told how she heard the conversation between Shi Hongchang and Shi Yirou that day, was discovered by Shi Yirou, and was chased and killed by Ren Xun sent soldiers.

Li Muhan was shocked, the knife that shot at Shi Yirou seemed to split her in half.

Lianxin then reported: "Your Majesty, you must have understood why the three of us disappeared by now, right? The imperial concubine and Ren Xun worked together to hunt down and kill Han Feng and Xia Zikai in order to eliminate dissidents. Unfortunately, the maidservant found out The truth, time is running out, so we rushed to inform, so we were in danger together. It’s just that the three of us lost our lives, and although we fell off the cliff, we were lucky enough to be rescued by monks from Xuankong Temple, so we survived.”

"Yes!" Xia Zikai continued with a faint smile, "We were in the Xuankong Temple. We couldn't go up to the sky or down to the ground. We were trapped for three months before we healed our injuries. Then we managed to make a big kite and went up the cliff , came back to report the news. This is also due to the old abbot of the Xuankong Temple, he used three corpses to conceal the truth, otherwise, once we climbed the cliff, we might be hunted down by Ren Shangshu's soldiers and horses, and it would be too late to rush back to Yidu .”

Han Feng said: "Fortunately, we bought a Maxima and tried our best to finally come back last night. Who knows, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness have already stayed in Weichen's mansion temporarily. Only then did we communicate with each other and decided to go to the hall today to expose the noble concubine and empress .”

Hua Man'er walked up to Li Muhan with her hands behind her back, looked up at Li Muhan frankly and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. Since you want to expose it, why not make it clear at once so that you can see Shi Yirou's true face clearly. Now, don't you Do you feel that what Shi Yirou has done has escaped the strife among concubines in the harem? Now she is basically with her father, forming a party in the court for personal gain. If things go on like this, what harm will it cause? I believe the princess doesn't need to say more. "

Li Muhan's deep icy eyes couldn't see any expression clearly, however, the slight sliding of his Adam's apple also exposed his inner anxiety.

"Your Majesty, these are all their one-sided remarks. There is no evidence to prove that the humble officials sent troops to hunt down and kill them! Why do they say that?" Ren Xun hurried forward to clarify.

Xia Zikai sneered: "Master Ren, who said there is no evidence? Yes! You have the military power and the right to appoint and dismiss generals across the country, but don't underestimate the role of our Shenji Battalion. Have your troops ever left the capital of Yi? Would this king not know? Would the city gate governor not know? Would you like me to call up those records for you to see!"

"You—" Ren Xun said with a sullen face, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it! Call it out if there is a record!"

"No need!" Li Muhan walked up the steps, walked slowly to the dragon chair, turned around, glanced at everyone, and sat down safely.The turmoil in his heart has passed, and now he can no longer be shocked by hearing any earth-shattering news.

His voice was not high-pitched, but it was still as powerful and intimidating as before.The two people who were arguing fell silent.

"Hua Man'er, what other crimes do Shi Yirou have, let's talk about it together. I'll just sit here, waiting for you to vomit out one by one."

Li Muhan stared at Hua Man'er without blinking.

Hua Man'er also looked back fearlessly.

The two stared at each other for only two seconds, but it seemed as if they had flowed through the river of all time.Everything that happened between the two of them, one pile, one piece, all emerged in my mind.

"Then let's talk about the jackdaw case first." Hua Man'er's voice was as calm as water, "On the Longevity Day, this princess was so capable. She played the flute and called the magpies into crows. Everyone said that this princess Wisdom is superior to others. I didn't expect that on the Longevity Day, under the watchful eyes of everyone, I did a very stupid thing, let you catch this princess and put me in limbo. This princess must have lived a bad life Be patient—”

These words made Li Muhan really want to find a hole in the ground to get into.

Up to now, he has been able to guess what the truth of this matter is.However, he had to remain silent, waiting for Hua Man'er to hand over the evidence one by one.

Sure enough, Hua Man'er clapped her hands, and Hua Qiu who was outside the hall immediately brought two people in.

After Hua Qiu and others visited Li Muhan, they immediately issued witnesses.After some hard work, he finally found the general who was in charge of releasing the jackdaws but was willing to testify.

The general named Jiang Zhu was actually Jiang Qin's distant cousin. After all, Jiang Qin secretly notified Hua Qiu when he overheard Jiang Zhu mentioning this matter.In turn, Hua Qiu persuaded Jiang Qin to persuade Jiang Zhu to testify for Hua Man'er from the standpoint of justice.

That Jiang Zhu originally got some benefits from Ren Xun, but he didn't want to.However, it was Ren Xun and Shi Hongchang who committed suicide and wanted to kill people to silence them, which forced Jiang Zhu to betray them.

"Then, let's talk about the Yinyuan case." Hua Man'er said loudly, "At that time, His Majesty killed the guard in anger. But Lu Jie, who was on duty with the guard at the time, happened to hear it. Let people know that he heard everything. But the more he panicked, the more mistakes he made, and finally let Shi Yirou know. It is conceivable that he got the same fate as Jiang Zhu, and was killed and silenced."

Jiang Qin said: "Lu Jie and Jiang Zhu survived by luck because I saved them and hid them in the mansion. And I risked my life to hide this from His Majesty just for His Majesty's sake. I don't want Your Majesty to be tortured." Deceived with softness. Besides, Her Royal Highness is right, the evil deeds they have done not only endanger Her Highness, but also turmoil the court structure. If it goes on for a long time, it will bring a catastrophe to Your Majesty."

At this point, he knelt down calmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. If Your Majesty wants to ask for a crime, I am willing to bear it all. I only ask that Shi Hongchang's father and daughter and Ren Xun be severely punished!"

"I see, you all go down." Li Muhan's voice revealed an unprecedented sense of vicissitudes.

Maya said: "Your Majesty, I know that Ren Xun has great military power, but the Sa Kingdom and the barbarians are friendly countries. If Your Majesty needs it, I will fully support it!"

"Huh!" Li Muhan smiled, and looked at Maya, "A minister of the Ministry of War, no matter how powerful he is, can he have more power than me? Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it! I don't need the help of neighboring countries to punish my two ministers." .If I can’t even do this, I don’t need to sit on this dragon chair.”

When the three of Shi Hongchang heard this, they all broke out in cold sweat!
"Ren Xun, kneel down!" Li Muhan shouted suddenly.

Ren Xun couldn't help but knelt down: "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment, all of this...all of this was caused by the envoy of Shi Hongchang! Your Majesty, I didn't control it for a while, it was him who instigated Dazhao's old minister, and he was already pregnant. Erxin, he is always thinking of harming you!"

Ren Xun was so excited that his whole body was trembling|shaking, and he expressed his loyalty with emotion: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from His Majesty anymore. Shi Hongchang left this child just to keep a way! He said it all, If His Majesty continues to be ruthless and unrighteous to the imperial concubine, then he will take the imperial concubine and the little prince to join Maya!"

"What?" Li Muhan finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and expressed it in words.

Ren Xun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, they are just fools on the wall. They always want to play with the wind. The same is true when they abandoned His Majesty and chose to seek refuge with Li Xuqing. They...they are selfish people, Your Majesty. My minister Admittedly, this minister is thinking about the goodness of the former emperor, but that is the loyalty of a courtier. When it comes to being hateful, how can they be hateful! Your Majesty, as long as you forgive my capital crime, from now on, this minister will definitely be loyal to His Majesty— —”

"Shut up!" Li Muhan sternly said, "The three of you are in the same boat! You don't need to say anything! Someone, pull Ren Xun and Shi Hongchang out of the Meridian Gate, and immediately behead them for public display!"

"Ah—" Ren Xun and Shi Hongchang collapsed to the ground instantly.

"No! Your Majesty, don't do it, Your Majesty—" Shi Yirou cried out, rushed up the steps and was about to hug Li Muhan's leg, but Li Muhan kicked her back, and rolled down "Boom Boom Boom" up the steps.

Shi Hongchang cried: "Rou'er, don't ask Your Majesty anymore, it's useless, it's useless. Your Majesty, I just ask you to spare Rou'er's life for the sake of the past, even if it means putting her in the cold palace." It's all done, don't kill her!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to deal with it! What are you still doing, drag it down and behead it for public display!" Li Muhan sternly said.

Therefore, the guards did not dare to neglect, and immediately took the two of them down.

"Master Chen, go and supervise the beheading!" Li Muhan said to Chen Jianxin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Chen Jianxin immediately led the order and left.

In less than a stick of incense, he brought two human heads to the temple to cover the decree.

When Shi Yirou saw it, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

Li Muhan raised his hand, and Chen Jianxin immediately asked for the head to be hung outside the Meridian Gate.

Li Muhan coldly said: "Put Shi Yirou in the cold palace together, I will never see her again! Drag it on!"

"No!" Hua Man'er stopped in a cold voice, "Shi Yirou must die! It would be too cheap to throw her into limbo! She not only has the ghosts of [-] soldiers from Qixia Mountain, but also the little life of Meixian , and she killed it with poison herself. If you don’t take her life, how can you let the dead rest in peace!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lianxin knelt down, crying and pleading, "Your Majesty, Shi Yirou must die. The death of Mei Xian really makes this servant very sad! This servant must avenge Meixian. If Your Majesty refuses If you make an order yourself, then Mei Xian will do it for you, and you will kill her even if you catch up to Lenggong!"

Hua Man'er said sadly: "Your Majesty, Shi Rou has done bad things, deceived you, was not loyal to you, and killed so many people, why not die? The Qixia case has already spared her life, if she is spared again Fate, where is the law of the court? Where is the dignity of the emperor? Man'er can't understand why His Majesty treats this princess so differently from her?"

Li Muhan was shocked, and those icy eyes suddenly lit up: "So, are you jealous?"

"No! This princess is just angry! Your Majesty, if you suffer such humiliation, you won't be able to make up your mind to kill her, you're afraid you will be ridiculed by the world!" Hua Man'er categorically rejected his speculation.

The blazing fire in Li Muhan's eyes was instantly extinguished, and a trace of pain flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

"Okay, I promise you. From now on, take away the title of concubine, put Shi Yirou into the cold palace, and demote her to a commoner. After she wakes up, chop off her little finger and return it to the queen, and then poison her with wine to kill her." To comfort the souls of the dead. From now on, I will never see her again. After she dies, she is not allowed to be buried in the imperial tomb, so she can be buried in the Shi family's ancestral grave."

Li Muhan stood up, walked slowly to Hua Man'er, and asked her softly: "Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Hua Man'er gave him a cold look and said, "Isn't this what it should be? This princess doesn't need to be satisfied, but I feel happy!"

The four eyes are facing each other, and there is no more words...

After Eunuch He ordered Shi Yirou to be taken down, he wanted to come over to hug little Shi En again.

Hua Man'er finally regained his composure, and quickly dodged, unwilling to let him carry her away.

Eunuch He showed embarrassment, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, embarrassed: "Your Highness, don't make things difficult for our family. This is His Majesty's will. Stop making trouble and give me the child."

"No!" Hua Man'er said, "This is Shi Yirou's child, as well as Maya's child. Whether to let Shi Yirou take him to the cold palace, you have to ask the king's opinion!"

As she said that, she cast her eyes on Maya, her peach eyes were full of warmth.

Maya shook his head: "Your Highness, didn't we agree? I will not recognize this child. I will do what I say. For you, I can give up everything! This child will stay here After we get married, we will naturally have as many children as we want!"

"What?" Li Muhan roared violently, "You two want to get married?"

"Well," Hua Man'er looked back and smiled at Li Muhan, blinked her peachy eyes and said, "Otherwise? Does Your Majesty think that there is still a possibility for us to get back together? By the way, Li Muhan, when the princess gave you Hugh You must have received the book, right? Then, today, this princess solemnly announces again in front of everyone: Li Muhan, you have been dumped!"
