Chapter 897: Li Yuzhu & Mu Yuanxiu Extra (09): Evil Deeds!

Some people have long been unhappy with the Prime Minister Bei, who relies on borrowed authority, and they deliberately use this matter to oppose him.

Even the always muddled Old Duke Qing’an dares to challenge the powerful Prime Minister Bei, and others agree one after another, "Is it true or false? Let’s take a look to find out?"

Prime Minister Bei is also uncertain; if he doesn’t let everyone go see, they accuse him of protecting the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager is not in the court anyway, so let’s take a look and then discuss it.

If it’s not true, he can take the opportunity to punish Grand Tutor Fei.

Prime Minister Bei flicks his sleeve, "Then let Grand Tutor Fei lead the way."

Grand Tutor Fei nods to everyone, "Follow me, everyone."

People in the court look at each other and then follow Grand Tutor Fei out to take a look.

Grand Tutor Fei has not forgotten the Little Emperor.

He orders someone to place the Little Emperor in a wheelchair, and together with the wheelchair, they carry him to the Plum Garden behind the Glazed Palace.

People see a young man kneeling in the Plum Garden.

A black mink coat on him, looking from a distance, unexpectedly quite dignified and noble.

"Who is that person? How can there be someone in the back palace?" Prime Minister Bei points at Mu Yuanxiu, loudly asking Grand Tutor Fei.

This is the palace residence of the late Empress, though the Empress has long been gone, there shouldn’t be an adult male in the palace.

"That is the only son of the late Emperor and Empress, His Highness Yuanxiu!" Grand Tutor Fei says loudly.

His Highness Yuanxiu?

Mu Yuanxiu?

Everyone exclaims in astonishment.

Someone strides towards Mu Yuanxiu, "You... you are..., Your Highness?"

Prime Minister Bei is even more disbelieving, because according to the news from Zhen An Prefecture, Mu Yuanxiu is already dead; it can’t be that he is still alive!

He must be an impostor, must be!

"This man is an impostor, people, arrest him!" Prime Minister Bei shouts, "Someone, someone!"

"Is Prime Minister Bei trying to silence me? Not even questioning me before wanting to kill me, apparently, you have a guilty conscience." Mu Yuanxiu stands up, coldly smiling at Prime Minister Bei.

He lifts his head, and everyone sees his face clearly.

Everyone is shocked.

Someone exclaims, "Late... Late Emperor..."

"Too much like the late Emperor, surely it’s Yuanxiu!"

"Yuanxiu, is it really you? Yuanxiu?" Duke Qing’an rubs his old eyes and walks towards Mu Yuanxiu.

Getting older, dressed in a heavy coat, walking in snow half a calf deep, very difficult.

Mu Yuanxiu walks toward him, supporting him, "Duke Qing’an!"

"I remember, you have a scar on your back, let me see if it’s still there." Duke Qing’an examines Mu Yuanxiu’s face for a while, patting his back, trembling with excitement at the corners of his mouth.

"It’s there, still there." Mu Yuanxiu removes his coat and outer garment, turning so everyone can see his back.

That was the summer when he was five years old, learning to ride a horse for the first time, unexpectedly provoking a fierce horse.

The horse threw him off.

His back hit a stone on the ground, the sharp stone tearing his clothes and leaving a long cut on his back.

The flesh was exposed.

The great physician stitched over twenty stitches to stop the bleeding.

Later the wound healed, but the scar like a centipede remained.

For that matter, the late Emperor intended to punish the serving eunuch.

Unexpectedly, young Mu Yuanxiu took responsibility, saying it was he who chose the horse, not others’ fault.

He also said, if the late Emperor wanted to punish, punish him.

Unless the late Emperor retracted the decree, he would keep kneeling.

The matter became quite big, everyone in the Imperial Palace and all the ministers knew.

People marvel that Mu Yuanxiu was responsible, also pleasing for the late Emperor to have such a righteous Prince.

"Your Highness Yuanxiu, it’s truly you, you are alive!" Duke Qing’an embraced Mu Yuanxiu, beginning to cry.

"It is His Highness Yuanxiu, it’s him! He is alive!" Another old minister, excitedly laughing and crying.

Prime Minister Bei panicked.

Bad, the Empress Dowager is not in the Imperial City, Mu Yuanxiu has returned.

Is something going to happen?

"Your Highness is here, to talk about matters regarding the Empress Hui?" Someone thinks of the reason Grand Tutor Fei brought everyone over, quickly asks.

"Correct, I asked Grand Tutor Fei to invite everyone here, in order to talk about my mother’s matter! She did not elope with someone, but was killed by the Consort Hui, buried right here." Mu Yuanxiu dressed, pointing to the ground beside him.
