Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Now there was no more rustling sounds in the court. Obviously, everyone was a little surprised that Mu Gu could invite Li Yuanyi. Emperor Qinglong was very surprised at first, but then he began to doubt whether what Mu Gu said was true or not.

So he turned to Mu Gu and asked.

"Gu'er, whether what you said is true or not, please don't make me happy for nothing."

Mu Gu responded with a peaceful smile.

"Father, please rest assured. I will not brag. Li Yuanyi is already waiting outside the palace. As long as Father wants to see him, you can let him in at any time."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qinglong could no longer hide the joy on his face and even stood up excitedly.

"Quick, call Li Yuanyi into the hall!"

Mu Gu bowed to Emperor Qinglong, then turned around and shouted outside the palace.

"The emperor summoned Li Yuanyi to the store to see him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and elegant man in a moon-white gown walked into the hall. When he arrived at the hall, he stopped at a position where he could see Emperor Qinglong and bowed to him.

"I, Li Yuanyi, pay my respects to His Majesty."

Emperor Qinglong looked at Li Yuanyi, who had grown from a handsome young man into an adult but still had that calm and elegant demeanor, and nodded with joy in his eyes.

"Okay, okay! Today, Qinglong has added another talented person. Eunuch Cao, pass on my order to hold a banquet in the palace today to celebrate for our talented lady Li who came from afar!"

This was the first time that Eunuch Cao saw Emperor Qinglong so happy in these days. Upon hearing this, he immediately agreed happily.

Mu Gu looked at the situation in front of him which was exactly as he had expected, and the corners of his mouth curled up secretly. He felt the cunning gaze behind him, and according to the general direction when he came in, he also roughly determined who those people who were against him were.

Next, we have to wait for Xiao Ruge’s actions and arrangements.

Emperor Qinglong held the banquet in the back garden. This was the first time that Emperor Qinglong allowed so many officials to gather in the back garden to drink together. It can be seen that Emperor Qinglong was extremely happy that Mu Gu was able to find Li Yuanyi.

Emperor Qinglong sat in the highest seat, constantly raising his glass to drink with everyone, and soon three rounds of drinking had been completed. Just when everyone was ready to leave the palace one after another, news came from the emperor's bedroom that Emperor Qinglong had been assassinated.

Upon hearing the sound, the ministers who had already stepped half a step out of the palace gate quickly turned back, but were driven back by the palace guards, saying that the investigation was too urgent and no one else was allowed to approach.

The group led by Liu Meng was very shocked at first when they heard the news, but since they didn't know the specific situation, they could only leave the palace first.

Unexpectedly, the next day, news broke that it was Li Yuanyi who assassinated Emperor Qinglong last night.

This news instantly caused an uproar among everyone who had attended the banquet last night, and it spread to every corner of Kyoto. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Qinglong seemed to be really hurt. Today's morning court was not held because of this, and Emperor Qinglong is still bedridden.

Mu Gu, who introduced Li Yuanyi, was also arrested and thrown into dungeon by the Dali Temple yesterday.

The others were naturally worried about the health of King Qinglong and whether Emperor Qinglong could recover.

But this news was undoubtedly good news for Liu Meng and his group. They were originally thinking about how to carry out their plan, but now it seems that Mu Gu has shot himself in the foot, giving them a great opportunity to bring him down.

When Liu Meng went out to inquire, he learned that although there was no court session today, many colleagues had spontaneously gone to the window to visit Emperor Qinglong. Mu Bai was also smart for once, and sent people early to tell them that they must seize this opportunity to kill Mu Gu and Emperor Qinglong one after another. At the same time, a dose of medicine was sent over. For ordinary people, nothing would happen, but for someone like Emperor Qinglong, who had been taking long-life pills and other things for a long time and whose body was already riddled with holes, he would die if he came into contact with it.

Now everything was ready, and Liu Meng's eyes became fierce. He then left the house and called the other people one by one to go into the palace together.

In front of the door of Emperor Qinglong's bedroom, Liu Meng tightly grasped the bamboo box of medicine in his hand and waited quietly. He had done many party disputes in the past, but this was the first time he tried to murder the emperor.

But he must complete the Crown Prince's task, not only for Mu Bo but also for his own future success.

"Minister Liu, please come in. The emperor is awake."

Eunuch Cao opened the door and shouted to the people waiting at the door. Liu Meng calmed himself down and walked in.

The first thing that was seen was Emperor Qinglong, who was wearing plain clothes and sitting on the edge of the bed with a pale face. There was a large spot of blood on the cloth wrapped around his arm.

Without waiting for Liu Meng and others to greet him, Emperor Qinglong spoke with his hoarse voice.

"Minister Liu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meng immediately put down what he was holding, walked forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

All I heard was Emperor Qinglong sighing heavily.

"Tell me, how should I deal with Mu Gu?"

Liu Meng had not expected that Emperor Qinglong would ask this question so concisely and clearly. There was no need for Liu Meng to spend time and experience to guide him, but he was very clear that this matter should not be rushed.

"Your Majesty... this... Your Majesty's family affairs..."

Eunuch Cao, who was standing nearby, glared at Qinglong without waiting for him to speak.

"How dare you! Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. How can the assassination of a ruler be considered a family matter?"

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Meng immediately knelt down and apologized repeatedly.

"Eunuch Cao is right. I was assassinated. This is a matter of state. Minister Liu should just speak frankly. When have I not been a person who listens to advice?"

Although Liu Meng showed no reaction on his face and kept his head down, he didn't know how to be happy in his heart. If things continued to develop in such a smooth direction, Mu Gu would definitely lose.

"Then Your Majesty, I will speak frankly."

"The prince violated Qinglong's laws and should be punished the same as the common people."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qinglong nodded in agreement, and then asked.

"Then Minister Liu, can you tell me which law of Qinglong did Mu Gu violate?"

Liu Meng pretended to think for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince made a mistake in employing the right people, which led to the assassination of the emperor."

"But I also have a guess, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Emperor Qinglong raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue, so Liu Meng quickly spoke.

"Since His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was able to invite Li Yuanyi, who His Majesty had been unable to invite no matter what, can I assume that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and Li Yuanyi have some private deal?"

"If that is the case, then His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is suspected of having an affair with someone to assassinate the current national army. According to Qinglong law, he should be executed."

As soon as Liu Meng finished speaking, several people behind him responded.

Emperor Qinglong slowly stood up with the support of the mattress and helped Liu Meng, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Minister Liu is right. I will consider this carefully."

Upon seeing this, Liu Meng hurriedly bowed again, then placed the medicine on Emperor Qinglong's desk, indicating that it was a nourishing soup made from specially found top-quality medicinal herbs, and then he planned to leave.

Just as Liu Meng and his companions stepped out of the hall, feeling complacent with their plan, they were suddenly surrounded by people from the Dali Temple and arrested.
