Chapter 900: Li Yuzhu · Mu Yuanxiu Extra (11) Beiyang’s New Emperor!

Everyone was extremely shocked, they could not have imagined that Empress Dowager Hui was such a person!

Under the chairmanship of Duke Qing’an and Grand Tutor Fei, the Imperial Clan Court exposed the crimes of Empress Dowager Hui to the public, after which Empress Dowager Hui was sentenced to death by poison.

All the members of Prime Minister Bei’s family were executed as his accomplices, and Prime Minister Bei himself was put to death.

Looking at the poisoned wine brought by the eunuch.

Empress Dowager Hui sneered, "Don’t be too pleased with yourselves, even if you kill me, someone will avenge me, you will all join me in death!"

The eunuch glanced at her and said flatly, "I am just following orders, please forgive me, Empress."

"Where is Mu Yuanxiu? Call him to see me! Mu Yuanxiu! Mu Yuanxiu, don’t be too pleased with yourself, if I die, someone will avenge me, if you don’t want to be torn to pieces, release me!"

"I am here!" Mu Yuanxiu’s stern voice suddenly came.

Soon after, Mu Yuanxiu walked into the room, dressed in a dark brocade robe.

He exuded the majesty of an authority figure.

Several eunuchs hastily saluted, "Your Highness."

Mu Yuanxiu stepped before Empress Dowager Hui, looking down at her, "Consort Hui, you took advantage of my youth, constantly sending people to the Southern Land to assassinate me! You didn’t expect me to return alive, did you?"

"Mu Yuanxiu? Ha ha, you are so lucky!" Empress Dowager Hui saw him, gritting her teeth in a cold laugh.

"If not for luck, how could I avenge my father and mother?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I fear you cannot avenge them! If you dare kill me, someone will come to avenge me, cleansing the Beiyan Palace with blood! Ha ha ha ha!" Empress Dowager Hui laughed coldly.

Several eunuchs were frightened, their faces changing, looking up at Mu Yuanxiu.

Mu Yuanxiu’s expression, however, remained unemotional.

He smiled faintly, "Consort Hui speaks of your old flame Shi Mo, right? His current name is Xin Hu! He is one of the main generals in this Southern expedition. By day, he is the Big-bearded General; by night, he is the beardless lover Shi Mo, secretly entering your chamber through a hidden passage to meet with you. You are infertile, so when the late Emperor was gravely ill and could not control you, you chose to spend every night with him, is it not so?"

Having her secret discovered, Empress Dowager Hui was furious, her face turning pale, and she gritted her teeth in denial.

Mu Yuanxiu sneered, "The hidden passage has already been found by me, right now, Duke Qing’an and several others are searching for evidence of your meetings with Shi Mo, and after you, the next target is Shi Mo, or rather, Xin Hu!"

"Just by your means, you think you can kill him?" Empress Dowager Hui sneered, "At present, a fifty-thousand-strong army is in the Southern Land, if Xin Hu learns of my death, he will certainly lead his army back to Beiyan, none of you can escape!"

Mu Yuanxiu remained calmly composed, "Your idea is good, but unfortunately, while I captured you, Xin Hu was also captured. He is currently imprisoned in Envoy Baili Huang’s jail in Liangzhou City, Zhao Country, hmm, if Baili Huang discovers he once slaughtered several tens of thousands of civilians in Liangzhou City, surely he would have torn him limb from limb long ago!"

Empress Dowager Hui’s face turned deathly pale with fear, "What, he... he was captured?"

Mu Yuanxiu laughed, "To be precise, four of the five main generals from Beiyan were captured, only one remains uncaught, but he is not yours, he is Grand Tutor Fei’s secret disciple, and at this moment, he is probably on his way back to Beiyan from the expedition."

Terrified, Empress Dowager Hui slumped, no longer daring to arrogantly curse.

Mu Yuanxiu cast her a cold glance and turned to walk out, "Carry out the execution!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Several eunuchs approached Empress Dowager Hui again.

Empress Dowager Hui suddenly shouted, "Mu Yuanxiu! How did you escape the assassination by the Dark Feather Guards? You really have the skill!"

Mu Yuanxiu no longer paid her any mind and walked out.

How did he escape?

In his previous life, if it hadn’t been for the Li Family brothers blocking a wave of assassinations, he might have died in Zhen An Prefecture.

The old guard was dead, and the teenage him did not have high martial arts skills, unable to fight against the assassins who frequently came for him.

By coincidence, the Zhao Country’s Emperor and Yu Wen Zan also sent assassins to Zhen An Prefecture, and he lived on the same mountain with the Li Family.

The Li Family mistook those Beiyang sent assassins for Zhao Country’s assassins.

The Li Family brothers blocked several waves of assassins for him.

And this time, he blocked the assassins for the Li Family.

If not for living this life again, he would not have known those assassins were Beiyang people!

He always thought they were invited by the Li Family.

In this life, he finally realized those people were Empress Dowager Hui’s Dark Feather Guards!

.

Upon Empress Dowager Hui’s death, the Little Emperor fell ill and weak.

Power in the Beiyan court started to reshuffle.

Any court official who had dealings with Empress Dowager Hui became fearful.

Many were worried about being implicated by Empress Dowager Hui’s affairs and proactively sought favor with Mu Yuanxiu, exposing the evil acts of Empress Dowager Hui.
