"I respectfully invite the Duke of Zhen to ascend the throne as emperor!"

Waves of voices urging people to come in, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, resounded throughout Lieyang City.

After the Chu family, other civil and military officials and people also reacted and knelt on the ground.

In an instant, the only ones left standing in Lieyang City were Zhou Yuniang and Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu chuckled and said: "Congratulations, now you are truly the one everyone expected, and you have fulfilled your long-cherished wish for more than a thousand years."

"Yes, after more than a thousand years, I finally sat on this throne. Thinking about it, there have been a lot of ups and downs along the way!"

Zhou Yuniang sighed.

She looked around at everyone: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone agreed and stood up one by one.

The Minister of War raised his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder how Chu Yanjing should be dealt with?"

"Hmph, Chu Yanjing's intention to poison the entire people of Lieyang City is simply a heinous crime. If we don't kill this kind of people, it won't be enough for the people to get angry!"

General Li, who had previously blocked the emperor, gritted his teeth and said.

"No, you can't kill me!"

The emperor shouted in fear: "I am the Emperor Lieyang, and I have a noble status. So what if I poison you, and I didn't really kill anyone?"

But no one paid attention to him. Even if someone looked at him, their eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred.

Seeing that everyone really wanted to kill him, the emperor was completely desperate: "Third uncle, I am a member of the Chu family. Do you really want to watch me die?"

"Uncle Six, you have loved me the most in the past. Do you also want to see me die?"

"Assholes, all of you are bastards, and no one saves me. It's not me that deserves the damn, it's you!"

"And you, Taoist Wanyu!"

The hysterical emperor suddenly stared at Zhao Mu: "You are the one who deserves to die the most. Why do you want to spread my words throughout the city?"

"As a citizen of Lieyang, you should be loyal to your Majesty and not bully your Majesty. Even if I poison the whole city, no matter what, as a minister you should keep my secrets."

"It's you!"

"It's you who made me the target of public criticism. If I die today, I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost!"

Everyone looked at the Emperor who was clearly in a state of madness, with expressionless faces, and no one showed even the slightest bit of sympathy.

The Chu family spoke again: "Your Majesty, Chu Yanjing harmed the loyal people, please punish him by being devoured by thousands of insects!"

The same punishment had been proposed by the Chu family just now, but now it was proposed again.

It seems that in order to preserve the family, they really don't care about blood and family ties at all.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

After the Chu family, other courtiers also saluted and said.

It seems that the death penalty for the emperor is really what everyone expected.

The emperor's face turned pale and he fell to the ground in despair. At this moment, he had completely lost the idea of ​​struggling.

Suddenly he looked at Zhao Mu again: "Master Wanyu, I captured your woman, you must hate me with all your heart, right? Come on, kill me so that you can get revenge. Do it, quickly!"

He couldn't wait to crawl towards Zhao Mu, his eyes filled with the desire to die.

"You really want to die, but are you afraid of being devoured by thousands of insects?" Zhao Mu asked calmly.

"No, I'm not afraid of death. I'm just giving you a chance for revenge. Why, don't you want this opportunity? Do it?"

The emperor urged urgently.

"Haha, I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty, so you should just wait for the punishment. The punishment of being devoured by thousands of insects will definitely be something you will never forget in your next life!"

Zhao Mu chuckled.

"No, you can't let me go, kill me, please kill me!"

The emperor wailed in pain, wanting to rush forward and hug Zhao Mu's thigh to plead.

The majestic emperor actually wants to die?

It seemed that he was extremely afraid of the punishment of being devoured by thousands of insects.

"Someone is coming!"

Zhou Yuniang said.

"I'm here!"

The commander of the imperial army immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Push Chu Yanjing into the sky prison, and after a joint trial by the three divisions, choose a day for execution!"

"I accept your order!"

The commander of the Forbidden Army waved his hand, and several Forbidden Army soldiers immediately came up, pulled the emperor up and walked towards the Tianlao.

"No, Zhou Yuniang, you can't kill me, please let me go... No, you don't have to let me go, as long as you give me a good time!"

The emperor's desperate wailing was dragged further and further away, and finally became silent.

"You will not live if you do your own misfortune."

Zhao Mu shook his head, looked at Zhou Yuniang and said, "Okay, there is nothing more to do with Pindao here. Pindao will leave first. When you ascend the throne, Pindao will come back to attend your coronation ceremony."

"Taoist Priest is going to treat Miss Xiao?"

"Well, although her life is not in danger, Pindao still has to find a way to revive her as soon as possible."

"Taoist Priest, the medical skills of the imperial doctors in the palace are quite extraordinary. How about I ask the imperial doctors to diagnose and treat Miss Xiao?"

Zhou Yuniang asked.

"Haha, no need. The imperial doctors of Lieyang Palace can't solve the problem of the Three Life Stones. I'd better find a solution on my own. Farewell!"

Zhao Mu waved his hand, and his figure suddenly faded and disappeared.

Looking at the place where he disappeared, Zhou Yuniang frowned slightly and was speechless for a long time.

But Zhou Yuniang didn't speak, and everyone present didn't dare to make even a sound, so that for a while, the scene was quiet as if no one was there.

It was not until a long time later that Zhou Yuniang finally said: "Okay, let's all disperse. There will be a court meeting tomorrow to discuss various matters regarding the enthronement."

"I will take your orders!"

All the civil and military officials agreed with a bang, and when Zhou Yuniang also left, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh... it was so scary just now, I thought His Majesty was going to kill someone!"

"Yes, I don't know what happened. As soon as Taoist Master Wan Yu left, Your Majesty seemed to be angry for something. The aura she exuded unintentionally was as heavy as a mountain and made me breathless."

"Who is Miss Xiao that Your Majesty just mentioned? Could it be that she is Taoist Master Wan Yu's confidante? Your Majesty will not be angry because of this, right?"

"Shh, stop talking nonsense. Don't you want to live anymore?"

"Yes, yes, please shut up. Not everyone can discuss the matter between His Majesty and Taoist Wan Yu. We really can't afford to offend either of these two."

"Let's do things honestly. Your Majesty is different from Chu Jinghong. He will not kill innocent people in a moody way. As long as we do things seriously, I think life will be much easier than before."

"I hope so, but once there is an emperor and a court, there will probably be a big reshuffle in both the court and among the people."

"It doesn't matter. We have always been loyal to His Majesty anyway. Even if we reshuffle the cards now, we won't be able to do it. What we should worry about are those who were loyal to Chu Jinghong before."

"Hehe, you're right, then let's watch the show!"

Everyone left in whispers.
