113. Dilemma

In a blink of an eye, I don't know where the woman touched a mechanism, only to hear a "knock-" sound, a secret door opened on the mossy stone wall, and in the blink of an eye, the woman disappeared, leaving nothing, Mu Chujin looked up and saw the stone wall tightly closed intact.

"Humph!" Mu Chujin sneered, "This is the way to survive, no means are compromised, and you will not give up until you achieve your goal...... she muttered, as if warning herself, over and over again.

Looking up at the darkening sky outside the window, her vision became more and more blurred, she only vaguely saw the dim light outside, and raised her hand, she wanted to touch or catch the passing time, but it was in vain.

The black hair stuck to the cheeks, the purple lips trembled slightly, and a stream of black blood slowly flowed down the corners of the mouth, wetting the collar embroidered with magnolia flowers with light blue piping.

Suddenly, there was a stinging pain in the heart, as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at your heart little by little, slowly burrowing into it, constantly wriggling inside, stirring, biting, and slowly torturing you.

The slender fingers grasped the only piece of hay on the ground, which seemed to be her courage to live, and the pain in her chest spread to all parts of her body along the limbs, sharpening her inch by inch, and she wished to let people stab her body, that was the greatest comfort.

"Ahh

Nope-

I can't die!

I can't just die like this!

Whoever harms me will be killed!

She got up suddenly, put her hands together, turned into blue fingers, and laid the lotus seat, and in an instant, a faint air flow condensed around her, slowly rotating with the acceleration of her movements.

Poof-

Leaned over, vomiting out a mouthful of black blood, making her face even paler, Mu Chujin only felt that her eyes were dark, and her body collapsed to the ground softly.

At dusk, the weather was suddenly cold, and the sky that had been flowing clouds and haze suddenly turned gray, and after a while, a light rain began to fall.

However, the Jardine Hall was silent, as if dead, and the glorious and gorgeous hall was gloomy in the dim light, as if it was completely separated from the rainy day outside, shuttling from another world.

There were eight or nine ministers kneeling on the bright gold brick ground, they bowed their heads silently, their whole bodies prostrate on the ground, their faces solemn, and in terms of age, they were all some senior ministers.

"Are you trying to force me?" Mu Yanjun on the dragon throne stood up on the desk, his eyes crimson.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the society and the people of dawn, you must not believe in the celestial phenomena! Emperor! The minister, who knelt on the ground, exhorted impassionedly, with a look of indignation.

"You guys! You-" With a flick of the bright yellow robe, Mu Yanjun grabbed the dragon chair, his body trembled with anger, and his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word, "Just based on the hexagram, it is said that Mu Chujin is the reincarnation of the evil star and the rebirth of the demon girl, are you absurd as the people of my Mu country?" ”

The king on the dragon throne questioned in a loud voice, with a touch of sadness in his tone, but more powerless, sometimes the king's words may not be a holy decree, if the ministers collectively resist, the emperor's words are also a dead letter, this is the helplessness of the emperor who does not have a complete monopoly on power. At this moment, Mu Yanjun deeply realized that his usual inaction led to today's situation of the ministers resisting the decree.

Sister, what do you think I should do? I want to protect you, even if I don't hesitate to use my life, one is the country, the people, and the other is you, how should I choose?

Do you want to be a faint gentleman once? Do it for you once, turn your back on the people, turn your back on the ministers, and just want to live for you, as an emperor, can I do this?

Haha-

He raised his head and smiled weakly, and stretched out his finger to point at the minister who was kneeling under Danqi: "What are you doing here?" Do you still have me in your eyes? And I, the emperor of the Mu country! ”

The angry tone, revealing bursts of majesty, he spoke in a deep voice, and his suppressed voice was mixed with the sound of the rain, which came out in all directions, and the aftermath was not over.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Please think twice! The ministers knelt down and spoke in unison, and the majestic momentum enveloped the Jardine Hall in an instant.

With his fists clenched and his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, Mu Yanjun suddenly felt powerless, he wanted to turn things around, but no one in the world could get along with him.

"The Emperorβ€”"

Bang Bang –

The door of the hall was pushed open, and a smell of dampness of earth rushed in from the outside, and when he saw the person, Mu Yanjun's face stiffened, and he turned pale in an instant.

"Queen Mother, you don't stay in Ciyi Palace, what are you doing here!" The cold tone, mixed with a hint of impatience, was troublesome enough, and if the queen mother mixed in again, it would be really ......

With a low sigh, Mu Yanjun turned his back away, his head aching.

Empress Dowager Liu is dressed in a goose yellow flower palace dress, covered with a layer of golden tulle, and the wide hem of her coat is rusted with purple pattern totems, dressed formally, and her graceful and luxurious temperament is fully displayed, although she is the queen mother, she is only in her thirties, and the charm still exists.

I saw her step by step past the ministers, standing one foot away from Danqi, staring at the emperor on the dragon throne, her eyes were dark, and Huo Di knelt down: "Liu Baifeng, the empress dowager of Mu Guo, implore the emperor to burn Mu Chujin at the stake!" ”

The majestic tone echoed throughout the hall, resounding through the sky and shocking the ministers.

Burning at the stake is a punishment that must be passed by those who commit serious crimes in the Mu State, and later because Mu Yanjun ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, some cruel punishments have long been abolished, and the burning at the stake is naturally also abolished. Now, Empress Dowager Liu proposed to be burned at the stake, making it clear that she hated Mu Chujin to the core, and ten days later it was the annual sacrificial ceremony of Mu State, and the Emperor of Mu State wanted to sacrifice to the sky in the Beihai Temple, and it was reasonable to take Mu Chujian, the evil star demon girl, to sacrifice to the sky.

"What?" His eyes were startled, Mu Yanjun stood up from the dragon chair, trembling all over, and a wave of sadness gushed out of his eyebrows, Queen Mother, why are you forcing me?

The hall was quiet for a moment, like a pool of stagnant water, no one dared to break the oppressive silence, the ministers all pricked up their ears, bowed their heads to the ground, and sacrificed Mu Chujin to the sky, so that it would not anger God and bring disaster to Mu Guo, not to mention that Mu Chujin played that witchcraft, cursed the emperor, and killed the prince of Pingnan, these are enough to cure her capital crime!

It's good to be dead, and all the troubles will be solved, so as a wise emperor, you should sacrifice the small for the big, right?

"Your Majesty, please be the master of the old minister, and give my son justice! If the emperor does not deal with it impartially, the minister would rather resign and return to his hometown! King Pingnan said indignantly, his tone sad.
