Chapter 446: Can't Survive Even a Little Bit
Chu Muran raised his slightly surprised eyes and looked at Chu Li, "If it is for the safety of the people, I am willing to accept the order."
The court officials were in an uproar.
"His Highness Muran accepted it so quickly. Didn't he say he didn't want the throne?"
"Didn't you hear? His Highness said that he was willing to accept orders in times of crisis for the safety of the people."
"How could it be such a coincidence? As soon as His Highness returned, someone forced His Majesty to abdicate."
The ministers knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, please think twice!"
Chu Muran lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, if there is any other way to resolve this crisis, my brother will not accept the throne."
The corners of Chu Li's lips curled up slightly, and her deep eyes stared at his hypocritical face.
"My brother agreed very readily. I remember when you first came back, you said you never had the intention to seize power. I believe you said it was all for the people."
Chu Muran's eyes were filled with tears, and he was sincere and heartfelt, "Muran's sincere heart is only for the people of Da Chu. If you have any selfish motives, you will not die well!"
At this point, some ministers who were already upset because Chu Li was a woman whispered:
"Perhaps what His Highness Muran said is true."
"Look, this is God's will. His Highness Muran has disappeared for many years, but he is still sitting on the dragon throne."
Chu Li stood up from the dragon throne, raised his eyes slightly, walked towards Chu Muran step by step, and stood in front of him.
"You'd better remember what you said today. If you dare to be unfair to my people and court officials, I will personally make you get out of the capital!"
"Don't worry, sister." Chu Muran was extremely excited inside, but he still looked calm on the surface.
Amid the ministers' pleas to stay, Chu Li walked out of the Golden Palace step by step with his back straight.
She looked back and saw Chu Muran who was impatiently walking towards the throne, and smiled.
Chu Muran was frightened by Chu Liyun's nonchalant smile and trembled all over. Although she was smiling, he felt that the air around them was tinged with chill.
He nervously sat on the dragon chair, sweating all over, and pretended to be calm and said: "My sister is away from the court, and I will be in charge of the important matters in the court. Do you have anything to report?"
The ministers were silent.
Chu Muran lowered his eyes and said, "If there is nothing else, then leave the court."
The ministers left with their own thoughts.
Chu Li walked out of the palace, feeling relaxed.
It's vacation time, so I can spend time with my kids.
Mu Feng caught up with him, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"
Chu Li slipped a note into Mu Feng's hand, "Please help me and take Pei Ye out of the palace to recuperate."
"Yes." Mu Feng took the note. He respected Chu Li's opinion. Seeing her so relaxed, he felt relieved.
Mu Jiangge also caught up, she lowered her voice and said: "Chu Chu, aunt and cousin are really too much, I feel aggrieved for you."
Chu Li looked at Mu Jiangge with a smile, "Do you believe me?"
"I believe it." Mu Jiangge clenched his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound.
"That's fine." Chu Li curled his lips, "Please help take care of Chu Xing and Concubine Shu. I'm worried that they will be bullied in the palace."
"Okay." Mu Jiangge agreed readily.
Chu Li felt relieved. After all, Mu Jiangge was a member of the Mu family, and Mu Xinyue should not make things difficult for her.
Concubine Shu and Chu Xing had helped her before, and they were rare good people in the palace. She couldn't just ignore them.
When Lao Liu saw Chu Li, he ran faster than a rabbit, "Brother Li, where can we hide?"
Chu Li patted his arm and said, "You can't survive even a little bit."
Lao Liu looked around. No matter what, she had to follow Brother Li closely, because her brother didn't seem like a good person.
"Oh, my cousin is here too?" Lao Liu's gaze fell on Mu Jiangge's face, who looked melancholy.
Mu Jiangge opened his mouth and wanted to say: King Jin, you are a grown man, please protect Chuchu well.
Then she pursed her lips a few times and closed her mouth.
This guy seems to be of no use.
She looked Lao Liu up and down, then sighed and left.
Lao Liu pointed at himself and said, "Brother Li, does my cousin have any problem with me?"
Chu Li smiled slightly, "Maybe he dislikes me..."
The corners of Lao Liu's lips twitched, "Brother Li, my heart hurts so much."
"My hair loss has been cured, and I've also practiced martial arts and kept fit. Am I not a man?"
Chu Li watched Lao Liu puff out his chest and raise his head to show off his muscles, and sighed: "Maybe she is more manly than you."
The sixth brother who was injured for the second time: "......"
......
Chu Muran came to Anning Palace to see Mu Xinyue.
He lifted his robe and knelt down with a guilty look on his face.
"Mother, I am sorry to my sister. The King of Southeast and the King of Western Frontier forced her to abdicate, and she has already given the throne to me."
Mu Xinyue helped Chu Muran up, "That's not called giving in. The throne was originally yours. How can she respect you as her brother?"
She looked at Chu Muran with satisfaction, her eyes shining. Her son was truly a handsome man, born to be an emperor.
"Son, you will be the emperor of Great Chu from now on. Don't kneel down to others at every turn. You don't need to kneel down to anyone." Mu Xinyue's face was full of pride and excitement.
Chu Muran's voice choked with sobs, "Mother, if it weren't for the people of Lingnan, I would not have taken away your throne. Will you blame me?"
Mu Xinyue pulled his hand and said angrily: "How dare she blame you? That throne was originally yours."
"Your bedroom needs to be built quickly. I'll have to ask you to move back to the East Palace first."
"Mother, my sister is frugal and thrifty. I am not a king who would build large-scale projects without caring about the lives of the people. I must be busy with state affairs recently. I will just stay in the Zhongkang Palace where my father lived when he was alive."
"it is good."
"Oh, by the way, mother, I heard that Concubine Shu is in charge of the affairs of the harem. I can't wrong you, mother. Now that you are back, the power of the harem is naturally yours. Even if I have a queen in the future, the power of the harem should be in the hands of you who gave birth to me and raised me. Even if I offend Prime Minister Li, I will drive Concubine Shu out of the palace."
Mu Xinyue saw that her son's heart and eyes were full of her. How could Chuchu compare to such a filial child.
It would be great if Chuchu was as sensible as Muran.
She thought for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Li has many followers in the court. His power cannot be eliminated so quickly. Concubine Shu is not competitive, so my mother has no reason to target her. Let her live in the palace with Chu Xing. As for the power of the harem, my mother will talk to her."
Chu Muran pretended to be stupid and held Mu Xinyue's hand, "Mother, you are right. I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I didn't think it through."
Mu Xinyue smiled with relief, "My son is filial, and my mother feels very warm."
She suddenly thought of her daughter, so she asked, "Where is Chuchu going after she leaves the palace?"
Chu Muran smiled and said, "When my sister left, I gave her a lot of banknotes. She will definitely have no worries about food and clothing. Mother, don't worry."
Mu Xinyue's eyes were filled with disappointment. After all, she and Chuchu had come to this point.
It would be great if she could compromise and be a princess.
After Chu Muran left Anning Palace, he came to Zhongkang Palace.
After closing the door, his eyes gradually became cunning and gloomy, and his back, which had been hunched, straightened.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Great Chu, everything that belongs to me, I will take it back!"
He suppressed his excitement, opened the door and looked at Eunuch Li, "Take me to the treasury."
How much silver is there in the treasury of the Chu State? All of it belongs to him, so naturally he has to know it clearly.
