Chapter 381 The Taste of Power
When Mu Feng heard Chu Li calling his name, his heartbeat instantly quickened.
After all, he once said that Xie Jingyan liked Chu Li.
And at this moment, Chu Li is willing to help him restore Xie Jingyan's identity. Has she decided to consider him?
Chu Li looked at him, "However, after you return to Jingyang Marquis Mansion, Xie Jingchuan's status as the crown prince will be revoked. Are you willing?"
"I don't want to." Mu Feng looked at her tenderly.
Just let his younger brother inherit everything in Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
General Mu treated him as his own son, and he wanted to stay in the general's mansion to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
Chu Li knew that her uncle was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, so she agreed, "Then I will announce your identity first."
Mu Feng raised a smile at the corner of his lips. In this way, his love for Chu Li would become legitimate because of the change in identity.
Pei Ye clenched his fists. Xie Jingyan, the lost legitimate son of Marquis Jingyang, turned out to be Mu Feng. This was true!
No wonder Mu Feng boldly expressed his feelings to Chu Li.
What does it mean that Chu Li helped him restore his identity? Does he want to take Mu Feng in?
Ye Hanting withdrew his gaze from Chu Li. It seemed that she was really angry.
After nightfall, Chu Li quietly returned home and took a bath in the medicinal bath prepared by Bing Xia. She thought about everything that happened today.
Ye Hanting's excessive possessiveness made her feel uncomfortable.
It was not until the next morning court session that Chu Li released Ye Hanting and Pei Ye.
In the court, Chu Li made Mu Feng's life story known to the public.
Xie Jingchuan's pupils trembled. Mu Feng was actually his biological brother?
Mu Jiangge also looked at Xie Jingchuan in shock. No wonder he felt that his uncle and Xie Jingchuan were a bit similar. It turned out that they were brothers!
The ministers all sighed, "Marquis Jingyang is so lucky to have two generals from the same family!"
"Yes, now the General's Mansion and Marquis Jingyang's Mansion will have to fight for this person!"
"You haven't figured it out yet. After the late emperor passed away, His Majesty told the world about this matter. This can only mean that the Jingyang Marquisate was afraid of the late emperor..."
The ministers understood that it was the Mu family who adopted the wandering Xie Jingyan, and he later became General Mu Feng.
It seems that the rumors about the discord between Marquis Jingyang and General Mu are all false.
Some people wondered, "Where is General Mu?"
"I heard that General Mu blocked an arrow for Your Majesty. The arrow was poisoned and he is being treated in the palace!"
"General Mu is extremely loyal. No wonder His Majesty thinks highly of him."
Pei Ye felt unfair when he heard this. Wasn't it just for Chu Li's death that he could do it?
Ye Hanting still kept his eyes down and didn't even look at Chu Li.
Chu Li was angry and didn't even look at him.
She sat on the dragon throne and found that except Ye Hanting, all other court officials stood respectfully.
No one dared to question her decision, and no one dared to deliberately cause trouble for her like before.
Even at the banquet, no one dared to force her to drink. Even if she wanted to drink plum soup, others had to accompany her!
Once she had a taste of power, Chu Li suddenly felt that she should not have any expectations of men.
Her next goal is to secure the throne and bring the child into the palace.
After the morning court session, Ye Hanting handed in a letter of resignation. He had to leave the capital for a while due to personal matters.
Chu Li felt a little uncomfortable, as she clearly fell in love with Ye Hanting.
Obviously everything is going in a good direction, but he is playing hard to get, or he doesn't cherish what he has.
She thought of her father and Emperor Qingyuan, sneered, and sighed secretly: Men are just like this.
Lian Ye Han Ting is no exception.
Chu Li picked up the pen and wrote a word casually: accurate.
......
Xie Jingchuan and Mu Jiangge went to see Mu Feng together.
Xiao Dezi pushed open the door and saw Mu Feng sitting on a chair reading a book.
Xie Jingchuan looked at Mu Feng with a complicated expression. It turned out that Mu Feng was actually his biological brother.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other without saying anything, Mu Jiangge walked over to look at Mu Feng, "Should I call you uncle from now on, or should I call you Big Brother Xie?"
After all, she and Xie Jingchuan are brothers.
The two of them saw her laughing heartlessly and laughed too.
"Call me whatever you want." Mu Feng's smile deepened, "Jingchuan, sit down."
"Big Brother!" Xie Jingchuan called respectfully.
Their parents died, leaving only the two brothers and their grandfather to depend on each other.
"Brother, when your injury is healed, come home with me?"
Mu Feng told Xie Jingchuan, "Okay, don't tell grandfather that my injury has relapsed."
"Okay." Xie Jingchuan nodded in agreement.
Chu Li brought Xue Jinghuai and Ye Qingwu in to help Mu Feng with his illness.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Several people in the room saluted Chu Li respectfully.
Ye Qingwu took a look at Mu Feng's wound and said solemnly, "It turned out to be the Black Poison."
Chu Li was a little confused, as he had never heard of it.
"This is the poison made by Gulan, the poison master of Daxia Country. The medicinal properties are extremely complex. There are no symptoms in the early stages, but in the later stages it will slowly corrode the body and cause a person to slowly die."
The faces of several people changed. Ye Qingwu looked at Xue Jinghuai, "Didn't you go to Daxia before and save a person who was poisoned by this? Please prescribe a prescription."
Xue Jinghuai said worriedly, "That man was poisoned not long ago, but General Mu has been injured for more than a month. I will do my best."
Chu Li took the initiative to give up his position. Xue Jinghuai checked it and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Your Majesty gave the acupuncture in time, otherwise it would be useless even if the Great Luo Immortal came."
Xie Jingchuan and Mu Jiangge felt a sense of fear, which was a blessing in disguise.
"I didn't expect that the Second Prince actually had dealings with the poison masters of Da Xia." Mu Jiangge clenched his fists and lowered his head on the table.
"Maybe I can only buy her poison." Chu Li had heard of this woman. She particularly liked to study poisons and used them specifically to harm people.
She would also provide it for free to those who couldn't afford it, just to see how effective her poison was.
Legend has it that this woman's identity is quite mysterious. In the Great Xia Kingdom, only the descendants of the Wushan tribe are good at using poison. Some people also say that her identity is quite noble and she is a Great Xia noble.
"Kong Wu, pass the order down. Anyone from the Great Chu State who purchases poison from the Great Xia State through special channels will be executed, no matter who they are."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kong Wu immediately took Xiao Dezi with him to convey the oral order.
Mu Feng looked at everyone who was nervous for him, and he felt grateful.
Especially Chu Li, who seemed to have a conflict with Ye Hanting and Pei Ye in order to treat his illness.
After Xue Jinghuai wrote the prescription, Chu Li ordered people to boil the medicine for Mu Feng, and she left with her two masters.
On the way back, Ye Qingwu saw that Chu Li was worried.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Li came back to his senses, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired recently."
Ye Qingwu patted her on the back and said, "If you don't want to be the emperor, we can take the child back to Tianwu Mountain and live together."
Chu Li smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It feels good to be an emperor."
When passing by the Taifu Mansion, she suddenly saw several carriages parked in front of the Mansion.
Yun Wanying helped an old lady in.
