Chapter 445 8 Mile Expedited
Chu Li thought to himself: Muran is definitely not as tolerant as he appears to be.
Especially his unintentional glances always reminded her of the deceased Emperor Qingyuan.
Perhaps, he is the person whose thoughts are most like Emperor Qingyuan.
Muran may have been forbearing for many years, allowing Mu Xinyue to feel sorry for him and make plans for him, so that Mu Ran can reap the benefits.
Unfortunately, Mu Xinyue was so protective of her son that she couldn't bear to see Muran suffer even the slightest bit of injustice, and naturally couldn't discern the intention behind every word Muran said.
Chu Li walked to Mu Ran's side with a calm expression and asked, "Brother, do you know how to govern a country and bring peace to the world?"
Muran lowered his eyes and said softly, "My mother asked Mr. Yushu to teach me."
Chu Li smiled. Mr. Yu Shu was a great scholar in the world, and Mu Xinyue had put a lot of effort into teaching her son.
"Brother, have you ever learned Kung Fu?" Chu Li continued to ask.
"I'm not very skilled. I only learned from a bodyguard from an escort agency." Muran replied.
Mu Xinyue gazed at him slightly. Mu Ran’s kung fu was very powerful, so why would he lie?
The famous teacher she invited was so talented because she hoped that her son would receive the same instruction that Chuchu received in the palace.
One day, when he returned to the palace, his ability was no less than his sister's, and he was able to successfully regain his identity.
Chu Li observed the micro-expressions of the two people and knew that Muran was lying.
Mu Xinyue is a woman without any support from her parents, but she can invite so many experts on her own. There must be someone behind her.
She has worked so hard to train Muran, he should have some abilities. Who is he acting so humble for?
Mu Xinyue didn't realize that she was being played around by her own son.
It is true that the crying child gets candy, but no one loves the sensible child.
Chu Li snorted in her heart, she would cry too.
When Mu Xinyue saw her daughter asking some irrelevant questions in an attempt to change the subject, her voice turned cold.
"Chu Chu, I hope you can find a suitable bedroom for your brother as soon as possible."
"Mother, please stop talking. I am living well in the side hall and don't want to move out."
Chu Li smiled slightly, "Very good, stay here."
After saying this, she walked out with her hands behind her back.
"Look at her attitude. Now that she's the empress, she doesn't even listen to her mother."
Mu Xinyue was so angry that her teeth were itching. Mu Ran stood behind her, his eyes gradually becoming dark.
......
Chu Li returned home and wrote a line of words on paper with a brush.
"Jun Ling, your woman has been bullied in Da Chu, sob."
She also drew a crying expression on the back.
Chu Li sealed the envelope and smiled slyly. Who isn't a crying monster?
She handed it to Lan Yi and said, "Go to Da Xia Country and give this to your master."
"Yes, Madam!" Lan Yi went to do it immediately.
Chu Li held her chin in her hand. It was inconvenient for a long-distance relationship to meet, send messages, or make video calls. She missed him a little...
The next day, Chu Li went to see if Pei Ye had woken up. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Xing and Concubine Shu were there too.
"Your Majesty!" Chu Xing took Chu Li's hand.
Concubine Shu looked at Chu Li with complicated eyes. A few days ago, Chu Xing asked her to cook delicious food for Chu Li whenever she had time, but all she cooked were Chu Chu's favorites.
She began to doubt Chu Li's true identity at that time, but she didn't tell anyone.
It was not until the identity of Empress Chu Li was announced to the world that she finally confirmed that Chu Li was Chu Chu.
Now that the late queen has returned with her son, she feels a little sad for Chuchu.
She saw clearly how the child survived in the palace all these years.
She endured all the hardships, avoided all the dangers, and finally became the empress on her own.
But the former queen came back with her son to take away everything she had.
This child is so pitiful. She must be very sad.
Chu Xing smiled brightly, "Mother made you some of your favorite food and sent it to the East Palace for you."
Chu Li's eyes suddenly became sore. Even Concubine Shu knew what she liked to eat the most, but her mother knew nothing.
......
Seven days later, it was morning court.
Chu Li sat on the dragon throne, listening to the ministers' reports on state affairs, and Muran was also standing below.
He has a humble attitude, giving people a feeling of being calm and non-competitive.
However, after many days, Chu Li had almost figured out his routine.
Act pitiful and act like a victim to gain sympathy from others.
Be humble and behave in a lowly manner so that people will think you are harmless.
However, no matter how well disguised a fox is, its tail will eventually be exposed.
Since he wants the throne, he will force her to abdicate step by step.
"Report, urgent news from the border crossing 800 miles away!"
Chu Li's pupils shrank slightly. Here it comes.
The messenger was dusty and cold. He knelt on the ground and tried to calm his breathing.
"Your Majesty, this is bad. The King of Southeast and the King of Western Frontier say that you are rebelling against Tiangang... plotting to usurp the throne. They are also raising an army to rebel and are asking you... asking you to return the throne to the crown prince."
The messenger stuttered and continued, "There are also several foreign tribes that have besieged tens of thousands of people in Lingnan, cut off their water and food supplies, and demand that you return the throne to the prince, otherwise they will also rebel."
Muran lowered his eyes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
My mother is only in her thirties this year, and she is a beauty of natural beauty.
The King of Southeast and the King of Western Frontier have liked the Queen Mother for many years, but she has never agreed to their request.
This time, it is time for them to show their determination.
A woman's beauty is a powerful weapon. Back then, the emperor snatched the queen mother away from these two men. Now, these two men will certainly perform well to win the beauty's favor.
As for the foreign tribes besieging the people, it was also him who instigated it behind the scenes with the help of the King of Southeast.
If it were just two kings of different surnames who rebelled, Chu Li would certainly not compromise easily.
If Chu Li refuses to comply by threatening the lives of the people, he will be despised by the world and will not care about the lives of the people.
The ministers were shocked.
"Your Majesty, the King of Southeast and the King of Western Frontier are rebelling. I am willing to lead the troops to suppress them!" The first person to stand up was General Mu Feng.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to go together to fight!" Mu Jiangge and Xie Jingchuan stepped out.
Most of the officials said in unison: "Your Majesty, please punish the traitors!"
Unexpectedly, Chu Li spoke calmly, "Everyone, the lives of tens of thousands of people are more important, or my throne is more important. I know which is more important. Send a message to them quickly. I, Chu Li, am willing to abdicate. If they dare to harm the lives of the people, I promise to exterminate their clan!"
For a moment, all the ministers were stunned, and even Muran’s heart was filled with huge waves!
Chu Li was actually willing to abdicate.
The reason she abdicated was for the safety of the people.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" The ministers knelt on the ground.
"I have made up my mind." Chu Li sneered in his heart: Muran, you are playing moral blackmail on me, I will let you play.
Lao Liu raised his eyebrows and said, Brother Li is so powerful, he can defeat magic with magic.
This move is a step of retreat to advance, giving the throne to the grandson and seeing if he can hold on to it.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Chu Li stood up and looked down at Muran with a disdainful look.
Her voice echoed throughout the hall, "Chu Muran, I can give the throne to you, can you accept it?"
