Chapter 468: Feng Yili’s Situation Is Not Good

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Zai quickly regained his composure. He said sternly, “Since the witnesses and evidence are all here, there’s no doubt the Mu family is guilty! Mu Zhongwei, how dare you murder the heir of the King of Youshan’s Residence and attempt to assassinate me and the Prince Regent of Tianxia! You’ll be stripped of your official position. Everyone from the Mu family will be imprisoned and executed!”

Upon hearing the words ‘imprisoned and executed, Mu Zhongwei’s vision turned black, and he fainted.

Consort Mu was anxious and frightened, but she could only cover her mouth with tears in her eyes. She did not dare to plead for leniency at all.

As for the others, they were even more frightened. They lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would be implicated. After all, they knew a little about what happened with the King of Youshan’s

Residence back then.

Meanwhile, Feng Yili watched the scene coldly. His face was devoid of pity. The Mu family had been a willing sword in Chu Zai’s hands all these years, and countless lives had been lost because of them. Today, he was just making them atone for their sins.

At this moment, an imperial guard braced himself and asked Chu Zai, “Your Majesty, how should we deal with the Seventh Prince, Consort Mu, and

Princess Changlin?”

Chu Zai looked over with a dark expression before he said angrily, “The Seventh Prince might not be unaware of the Mu family’s rebellion. Imprison the Seventh Prince, Consort Mu, and Princess Changlin in the palace for now. With my orders, no one is allowed to see them.”

Chu Changlin opened her mouth, intending to plead for mercy again. However, when she thought of Mu Zhongwei’s fate, she could only reluctantly shut her mouth. The most important thing now was to stay alive. If she survived, she would be able to prove her innocence.

‘Feng Yili, Yu Yunxi… Good, very good. You actually dared to frame me! I definitely won’t let you off for this!’

Chu Changlin glared at Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili venomously.

“There’s no doubt that the Mu family has committed many evil deeds, but it’s also undeniable that you, Feng Yili, pretended to be a vassal king of Xichu. If I don’t punish you, I…” Chu Zai said.

Chu Zai was unwilling to suffer such a big loss. He knew his father must have suspected him so he could only push the blame on Mu Zhongwei. However, Mu Zhongwei was the sharpest sword in his hands. Losing Mu Zhongwei was equivalent to losing his left arm. Hence, he wanted to offset his loss by making Feng Yili pay.

However, before Chu Zai finished speaking, Feng Yili began to cough up blood again. Then, he fainted in Yu Yunxi’s arms.

Yu Yunxi hurriedly said to Chu Ruishi, “Grandfather, no matter what, he’s still the Prince Regent of Tianxia. All these years, not only did he not harm Xichu, but he also helped the people of Yuzhou. Moreover, he only did all this to avenge Li Cheng’an. Logically speaking, we can’t just watch him die.”

Chu Ruishi stared at Yu Yunxi angrily. Others might not have noticed it, but how could he not notice it? Ever since Feng Yili appeared, Yu Yunxi had been exchanging glances with Feng Yili. Clearly, Yu Yunxi had long known that Feng Yili was the King of Youshan. How could he not be angry? Feng Yili had been under his nose the entire time, and yet, he did not notice at all.

At this moment, Xiao Shici rose to his feet and tried to reason with Chu Ruishi, saying, “Emperor Emeritus, Shici also agrees with the Eldest Princess. The most important is stability in the world. If all the countries can maintain a good relationship, it’ll be a blessing to the people. The Prince Regent of Tianxia has a special status. If something really happens to him in Xichu, the people of the two countries will suffer.’

Now that Xiao Shici had spoken up for Feng Yili, what else could Chu Ruishi do? He flicked his sleeve and scoffed coldly before he said through gritted teeth, “Where are the imperial doctors? Hurry up and treat the Prince Regent of Tianxia! ”

“Yes, Emperor Emeritus!”

A few imperial doctors ran over tremblingly.

Since Chu Ruishi had given the order, Chu Zai could only watch from the side.

After a moment, he suppressed his anger and said to Chu Ruishi, “Imperial Father, Feng Yili’s existence is extremely dangerous to Xichu. In my opinion, we should quickly…”

Chu Ruishi interjected immediately, cutting Chu Zai’s words off. “As a ruler, you need to be magnanimous and far-sighted. If something happens to Feng Yili in Xichu, it won’t be good for anyone. I only hope you remember this.”

After saying that, Chu Ruishi flicked his sleeve and left. He was extremely disappointed in his son and did not want to speak more to his son. He was just short of saying that Chu Zai was not suitable to be the emperor.

Chu Zai took a deep breath to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

‘Since that old geezer has already handed the throne to me, he has no right to criticize me!’

Chu Zai was in a bad mood, and he directly ordered everyone to leave.

“Everyone has worked hard today. Go back and rest. The banquet still has to be held. I’ll order people to make preparations again before sending out the invitations.”

The envoys naturally could not wait to leave. After all, the atmosphere here was too suffocating. However, just as they were about to leave, they heard Chu Zai’s warning.

“About today’s matter… I don’t want to hear any rumors about it outside. I believe all of you aren’t people who like to gossip.” Everyone smiled awkwardly and quickly acquiesced.

“Of course, of course.’

“We don’t remember what happened today.”

“Emperor of Xichu, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave first.’

‘Ha, this Chu Zai actually dares to threaten us!’

Despite the thoughts in their minds, they could only endure it for now since they were in Xichu. When they returned to their respective countries, they would definitely publicize this matter.

After everyone left, Chu Zai said to Chu Yuefu, Chu Yueqi, and Chu Yuezheng in a dark tone, “All of you, follow me.”

On the other side, Yu Yunxi watched anxiously as the imperial doctors treated Feng Yili’s injuries. The handkerchief in her hands was already very wrinkled from her clutching it tightly.

“Eldest Princess, the Prince Regent of Tianxia’s injuries are too serious. We used acupuncture to strengthen his body and a thousand-year-old ginseng, but we barely managed to keep him alive.”

“His situation is very bad so we can’t guarantee anything. We can only pray that the Prince Regent is lucky and will survive this.”

Yu Yunxi’s heart sank when she heard these words. After a moment, she said softly, “I understand. You may take your leave.”

“Yes, Eldest Princess.’

The imperial doctors felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders as they hurriedly left with their medicine boxes. After all, they still had to report the situation to the Emperor.

After making sure that the imperial doctors had left, Yu Yunxi hurried to Feng Yili’s side and checked his pulse.

‘Fortunately, the situation is not as bad as they said…’

Yu Yunxi heaved a long sigh of relief. However, the relief did not last long.

At this time, a certain Emperor Emeritus’ gloomy voice rang in the air. “To think my own granddaughter colluded with outsiders to deceive me..”
