Chapter 457 Abdicate or Die
Mu Xinyue's body stiffened, her pupils shrank as she looked at Ye Hanting, her voice began to tremble unconsciously, and she asked, "Are you the emperor of Daxia?"
Chu Muran opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
How could Ye Hanting be the Great Xia Emperor Jun Ling?
"Royal sister, don't scare me. How could the Great Xia Emperor Jun Ling be Ye Hanting?"
Chu Li tilted his head to look at Chu Muran, "Who said he was Ye Hanting..."
Ye Hanting didn't even look at the mother and son. When he turned to look at Chu Li, the fierceness between his eyebrows suddenly turned into gentleness.
The two looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly.
"Ali." Ye Hanting whispered softly, his eyes gentle.
Chu Muran took a step back, and Ye Hanting's sword moved forward, with the tip of the sword cutting Chu Muran's neck. Mu Xinyue screamed, and Chu Muran sat down on the ground in fear.
Ye Hanting came to his senses and his eyes instantly became cold.
He hooked his hand, and Chi Yan and Lan Yi came over and started punching and kicking Chu Muran.
Chu Muran was beaten so badly that he had no power to defend himself. He cried and said, "Chu Li, you think you can scare me by letting Ye Hanting pretend to be Jun Ling? It's impossible!"
Suddenly, a pleasant voice came, "Brother, he deserves a beating, beat him to death quickly."
Chu Muran looked over and saw Princess Yaohua standing outside the door with her hands on her hips, a big smile on her face.
Queen Nalan was beside her, and General Li Chang followed behind them, looking at him with disgust.
Princess Yaohua calls him Royal Brother, the man in front of her is really Jun Ling!
He felt a chill down his spine instantly. It was over, all over.
Mu Xinyue's heart trembled. How could it be possible that the man in front of her was not Ye Hanting.
Then why should he help Chu Li?
Do you like her?
Mu Xinyue saw her son being beaten, and she couldn't stop it, so she said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, if you like Chu Li, I can marry her to you."
As long as Chu Li gets married, she can go to the Great Xia Kingdom to become the queen, and the throne of the Great Chu will still belong to her son.
Ye Hanting's eyes became colder and colder. He glanced at Mu Xinyue and said, "Chu Li is such a good daughter, but you don't know how to cherish her."
Mu Xinyue lowered her eyes. Good daughter? She could only feel Chu Li's hostility.
Seeing that Jun Ling was not moved, Chu Muran began to alienate their relationship.
"Your Majesty, Chu Li has seduced you with her beauty. If she hadn't relied on men, how could she have become the empress? She is ambitious and is using you to deal with me. Then, one day, she will sleep on your bed and you will die without knowing how. Daxia will become hers..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Muran was kicked to the ground by Ye Hanting.
Chu Muran felt like he was stepping on a huge rock on his chest. He raised his eyes and saw Ye Hanting staring at him with a gloomy face.
"Beauty is just Chu Li's least noteworthy advantage. She has a kind heart, outstanding abilities, and is an expert in both medicine and poisons, as well as swordsmanship. Whether it's governing a country or dealing with people, she's better than you in every aspect. There's a world of difference between you and her."
Chu Li curled the corners of her lips slightly. Ye Hanting's little mouth was so sweet. She felt so happy to be praised.
Chu Li's hands felt warm, and Ye Hanting interlocked his fingers with hers. "She is the woman I love most in my life, and you dare to treat her like this? She is kind, but I am not. I will be the one to get my hands stained with blood!"
Ye Hanting stepped hard on Chu Muran's chest to warn him.
"Either abdicate or die. Choose one and I'll grant your wish!"
Ye Hanting's internal force shook, and Chu Muran spat out a mouthful of blood, his face distorted in pain.
Mu Xinyue panicked instantly and knelt on the ground to admit her mistake, "Your Majesty Daxia, please let Mu Ran go, please."
Ye Hanting was unmoved. Mu Xinyue pulled Chu Li's skirt and said, "Daughter, mother is wrong. It's all mother's fault. Please let your brother go."
Chu Li didn't even look at Mu Xinyue. There was nothing to forgive.
Ye Hanting stepped on Chu Muran's chest with one foot and held Chu Li's hand tightly with the other.
"Your Majesty, I have waited for you for several years. When will you give me a title?"
Chu Li raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I can consider it."
Chu Muran felt heartbroken. Was this the time to talk about marriage? His chest felt like it was about to split apart with pain.
Mu Xinyue raised her eyes and saw Ye Hanting's affectionate eyes. A member of the Jun family only loves one person in his life.
Her daughter is so lucky that she is loved by the man that all women in the world want to marry.
Mu Xinyue got up from the ground, grabbed Chu Li's sleeve and begged.
"Chu Li, your brother and I have been hiding all these years, and you have been living well in the palace. You have also met the man who loves you the most. Wouldn't it be good for you to go to Da Xia and be the queen? What does the throne of Da Chu mean to you? Can't you let your brother go?"
Pei Ye walked in from outside the hall and pushed Mu Xinyue away.
Mu Xinyue staggered to her feet and after careful identification confirmed that it was Pei Ye. She cursed: "Pei Ye, you are a rebel!"
Chu Li watched Pei Ye, who had a sick face, wake up. She couldn't hide her joy. He finally woke up!
After seeing Chu Li’s expression, Ye Hanting pressed harder with his feet, causing Chu Muran to scream in pain.
"Let me tell you how Chu Li has been living these years."
His narrow eyes lowered as he confessed to himself that without knowing the truth, he had made Chu Li's already difficult life even worse.
Mu Xinyue had no idea that the real Chu Chu who was abandoned by her was dead and would never come back!
Pei Ye's voice choked with sobs, "Chu Chu, the person I love the most is you. When she was a child, why was she so popular? That's because she knew that only by trying hard to please everyone would she be useful and the Queen Mother would not dislike her."
His voice became more angry. "She never gets the motherly love that her brother gets so easily. So, no matter how unreasonable your request is, she is willing to do it just to make you happy."
"You only see that she is sensible, but you don't understand why she is sensible!"
Mu Xinyue felt sad. Was this what Chuchu said to Pei Ye?
It turned out that she was pretending to be sensible, just to please Emperor Qingyuan, her grandfather, and everyone else, so that her mother would like her.
Mu Xinyue's heart suddenly ached, and she looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li turned her head away. Ye Hanting held her hand tightly. He would not let her suffer like this again.
Pei Ye continued, "During the years when you were away from the palace, she almost died many times. She came back from the brink of death many times, fell into the water, was drugged, and was assassinated..."
Pei Ye couldn't continue, "Have you asked around? How many times has she saved her brother from disaster?"
Chu Muran's face gradually turned pale. Don't say anything more. The Queen Mother is wavering and will not stand on his side anymore!
Mu Xinyue was stunned. "Impossible. I receive letters from the palace every month. They say Chuchu is doing well and that the emperor loves her very much..."
She looked at Chu Muran suddenly, "You got all the letters from your sister?"
