General Liu felt a lump in his throat and looked at Mu Yesheng: "So you're just going to appoint me like this? Now that I'm still alive, the emperor has treated you like this, have you ever thought about it?"
"If I die one day and the Liu family is gone, what will you do?"
Mu Yesheng was stunned for a moment. Yes, no matter whether they were taking advantage of him or they were sincere, the only family supporting him now was the Liu family. Mu Yesheng smiled bitterly.
"Grandpa, what do you think we should do? How should we resist? Should we just rebel? But for something like this, let's not talk about whether it will succeed or not. Even if it succeeds, we would still be traitors."
General Liu snorted coldly: "What traitor? Have you forgotten that you are also a descendant of the royal family, a child of the Mu family?"
"If the emperor appoints you as the crown prince, wouldn't your ascension to the throne be legitimate?"
Mu Yesheng shook his head in disbelief: "Grandpa, you know very well that this is impossible. I'm afraid my father would only want to make that idiot Mu Yexing the crown prince, and he would never make me the crown prince."
Although these words may sound hurtful, they are the absolute truth. Thinking of this, Mu Yesheng couldn't help but reveal a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
General Liu snorted disdainfully: "How many emperors have appointed princes that they really want to appoint? Isn't our emperor relying on Prince Mu Yexiao?"
"If Mu Yexiao were gone, would he still be so tough?"
Mu Yexiao is gone? Of course, Mu Yesheng knew what this meant. If Mu Yexiao was really gone, when he thought of this, his heart suddenly jumped wildly.
But this is impossible. No, it is possible. Since they were able to successfully plot against Mu Yexiao once, there will be a second and a third time.
Mu Yesheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at General Liu: "Grandpa, have you thought of any good ideas?"
General Liu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether the method is good or bad, as long as it can succeed. I will arrange this matter, and you just have to wait for the news of Mu Yexiao's death."
Mu Yesheng was a little worried, and looked at General Liu: "But Grandpa, you still have to tell me your specific plan."
General Liu glanced at Mu Yesheng and said, "Do you really want to know? Well, I'll tell you. I plan to write a letter to our old rival."
Old rival, Mu Yesheng was stunned for a moment: "General Hada?"
Seeing General Liu nod, Mu Yesheng's heart skipped a beat: "Aren't we collaborating with the enemy and selling out our country?"
General Liu snorted coldly: "How can this be called treason? Sheng'er, in this world, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends."
"That's enough. It's better for you not to get involved in this matter. Let's just leave it at that. You should comfort your mother."
After finishing speaking, General Liu left immediately. Mu Yesheng looked at Xiangpin, who seemed to have not yet recovered from this blow.
Seeing this, Mu Yesheng felt very sad and sighed: "Mother, are you okay?"
Xiangpin sneered and rang out in a sharp voice: "Am I okay? Is it okay for you to look at me with that eye? I really didn't expect how much I have paid for him over the years."
"I can't even handle a casual remark from someone else. It's so heartbreaking. He doesn't want me to be alive."
Xiangpin raised her head and looked at Mu Yesheng: "And you, why did you accept this insult? Ah! If you act like this, how can I, your mother, still have the face to go out?"
"Yes, you also wish I could chant Buddha's name in the palace every day? None of you are good people, get out of here, all of you."
Seeing Xiangpin like this, Mu Yesheng's face turned pale and he sighed: "Then mother, you should have a good rest. Your son will take his leave first."
With that, Mu Yesheng also left the palace, but when he returned to the Third Prince's residence, Mu Yesheng's mood became even worse, because the Third Prince at this time was dressed in white.
There were mourning banners hanging everywhere, which made people feel unlucky at the first sight. I couldn't help but snort and locked myself in the study again...
On the contrary, in Mu Yexiao's palace, everyone was having a happy day today. After returning home, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had dinner.
Then they started discussing Wang Rong's matter: "Mu Yexiao, do you think Wang Rong is dead this time?"
Mu Yexiao smiled and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "What's wrong? Can't bear to let her go? I didn't know you were so soft-hearted. This woman caused you and your mother to suffer so much."
"We must get all these debts back."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "I'm soft-hearted to anyone, but not to her. I was just wondering, will the aristocratic Wang family intervene in what you said about Wang Rong?"
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "When Wang Rong's crime is determined, the aristocratic Wang family will probably want to expel Wang Rong from the Wang family, so why would they interfere?"
"I trained and ate my own daughter who didn't love herself, and now I'm hiring someone to kill someone. I'm afraid the reputation of the aristocratic Wang family has been damaged because of her."
"I'm afraid that by then the Wang family's daughter's marriage proposal will be affected, so Wang Rong will be nothing more than an abandoned child in the end, so you don't have to think too much about it."
Time passed quickly and it was the next day. On the next day, Wang Rong's crime was completely determined. She hired someone to kill someone, and the person she killed was the famous Princess Xiao of the dynasty.
Princess Xiao did several things in the Great Zhou Kingdom during this year. One of them was to spread the knowledge of Arabic numerals, and the other was to establish a school.
She made it possible for children today to go to school and she also discovered sweet potatoes. Her reputation among the people was extremely high, but Wang Rong actually dared to hire someone to kill her.
The reason for killing her was even simpler, that was because he had not disciplined his daughter well, and he also blamed the princess, and Wang Rong was in the period of her stepmother.
All the stories about Concubine Hewan who abused Qian Jiujiu were dug up, and she was even called the number one evil mistress in history. So on the day Wang Rong was executed, all the people in Kyoto went out.
They all came to the street to see what the number one evil mistress in history looked like. Of course, there were also eggs and stones thrown at Wang Rong.
It was hard for the escorting team of soldiers. After all, the common people's aim was not very accurate, and some of them were caught in the disaster and were implicated.
After finally touring Kyoto, they arrived at the execution ground. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had already seen Wang Rong's miserable appearance in a restaurant before.
He clicked his tongue twice: "You said Qian Yuge died miserably. It seems that Madam Qian also died miserably. By the way, Mu Yexiao, did my father go to see this man off for the last time today?"
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "As for him, I did send someone to watch him. He hid in the crowd and quietly threw a few eggs at him, then turned around and went back."
"It's really not easy to expect a heartless and ungrateful person to become affectionate."
Qian Jiujiu curled her lips and said, "Tell me, why do I feel that Qian Wufeng is so lucky? He was only demoted, but he is still safe and sound."
Mu Yexiao didn't think so: "That's not necessarily true. You know, along with Wang Rong's reputation as the number one evil mistress, there's also Qian Wufeng's inaction."
"That's why you and your daughter have suffered so much. You don't know that if you cut off the ambition of an ambitious person, he will surely be hated by everyone in the future."
"Such days are a torture for him."
As the two were talking, they heard a commotion coming from the people below. They stood in front of the window again and looked down.
It turned out that the person who was caught was Qian Wufeng. There were still a few vegetable leaves in Qian Wufeng's hand. It seemed that he had thrown a lot of vegetable leaves to Wang Rong just now. Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched when he saw it.
Then he heard the people below continue to shout, and that person grabbed Qian Wufeng's hand and said, "I recognize you, you are Qian Wufeng, right? The person who is about to be beheaded is your wife."
"You didn't go to see her off for the last time, but you hid here and threw eggs at her. Are you still a human being?"
Hearing this man's words, everyone looked down upon Qian Wufeng. Qian Wufeng was very angry: "Let me go quickly. I am the princess's biological father. You are being rude to me."
"Be careful or I'll have my daughter treat you badly. And I've already divorced Wang Rong, she's not my wife, let her go."
Another person in the crowd stood up and said, "I know this. I saw Qian Wufeng being driven out that day with my own eyes."
"It's just that this is your retribution. You indulged your wife in bullying your concubine and child, and in the end, the bullying came upon you."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Qian Wufeng with even more contempt. Qian Wufeng was furious and was about to argue with the person who spoke, but that person spoke first.
"My dear brother, please let go immediately. It's too dirty to hold such a person. Let's go and watch Wang Rong being beheaded."
The man obviously thought that what he said made sense. He pushed Qian Wufeng to the ground, said "Pah", and left. Qian Wufeng had never been treated like this before.
He immediately stood up and wanted to find someone to argue with, but that person had disappeared without a trace. Then he raised his head to look in Wang Rong's direction, but suddenly his gaze met Wang Rong's.
Wang Rong opened her mouth, but Qian Wufeng felt that he heard what Wang Rong said: "The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you."
After arriving at the execution ground, in full view of everyone, the executioner cut off Wang Rong's head with one stroke of the knife, and thus ended her evil life.
From the hotel where Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were staying, they could vaguely see the execution ground. Looking at the time, they knew that the execution had already taken place, and they sighed.
"I hope she will be a good person in her next life."
