Chapter 189 Song Xiaohe is the son of King Ping
The emperor received the envelope the next day. He opened it and slapped his thigh with joy.
It's time to get rid of the Mu family.
"Pass on my decree, conferring Li Heming the title of the fifth-rank Dingyuan General, and Li Shun the title of the fifth-rank Huaihua Langjiang! Conferring the title of Ruixiang County Princess to Ruixiang County Princess! Both will be heavily rewarded..."
"And Yun Lanci was promoted to the third rank of General Yunhui, and Tang Jiacheng was promoted to the third rank of General Guide..."
The emperor personally named the flags, and Eunuch Qin wrote them down one by one.
Eunuch Qin was thinking: The emperor is intentionally promoting the family of Ruixiang County Princess! He directly conferred the title of Princess on her.
"Your Majesty, I have written everything down!" Eunuch Qin handed the written paper to the emperor.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Please invite General Mu to come to the palace for a chat!"
"I will go and invite General Mu right away..." Eunuch Qin agreed while bending over, then slowly retreated.
...the Yongfu Palace in the harem.
"Your Majesty, Nanxiang Kingdom has won a complete victory. I am so happy!" Huaiyu couldn't contain her excitement.
"That girl's third brother is really powerful. The Mu family must be extremely anxious now! After all, it is the Mu family that has private soldiers. I don't know how the emperor will deal with Concubine Mu..." Queen Liu was happy in her heart. Nanxiang Kingdom captured three cities, and the army had not arrived yet. The news had already reached the ears of every citizen.
The people hated the Mu family and King Ping.
"Yeah, I don't know how the emperor will deal with the Mu family!" Huaiyu sighed.
...The harem Zhongcui Palace.
When Concubine Mu learned that the truth had been revealed, she angrily smashed the tea set on the table.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Mu Xiang nervously tried to persuade the angry Concubine Mu.
"They are all useless. What does Prince Ping do for a living? He can't even do such a simple thing. Has he been bewitched by the princess?" Concubine Mu was so angry that she wanted to kill everyone to relieve her hatred.
"My queen, there will be a way..." Muxiang said in a low voice.
"Is there a way? What way is there? Now all the people in the capital know that the Mu family and Prince Ping have joined forces to rebel!" Concubine Mu grabbed her combed hair angrily.
"My lady..."
"Hasn't this palace done enough for Prince Ping? I waited for him for ten years, planned for him for ten years, but in the end he married someone else, even though we had clearly agreed to it! Now that the truth has been revealed, the Mu family will be implicated...
Oh, and He'er, he's Mo Ting's own flesh and blood! He must be able to find a way to protect us, mother and son. There must be a way! Don't you think so? Mu Xiang..."
Concubine Mu clutched Mu Xiang's shoulders tightly and shook them madly. Her face was covered with tears, her makeup was smudged, and her hair was messy. She didn't look like the usual aloof Concubine Mu.
"It turns out that He'er is not my child!" The emperor walked in from outside the palace with a gloomy look on his face.
Next to him stood an old man, leaning on a cane and walking unsteadily. It was General Mu, the grandfather of Concubine Mu.
When he heard his proud granddaughter reveal such a big secret with his own ears, he thought he was getting senile.
"Grandfather...Grandfather, Your Majesty!" Concubine Mu turned around in horror and saw two familiar figures.
"I just arrived and heard you reveal your secret. What an unfortunate coincidence..."
The emperor touched his nose. He brought General Mu to Concubine Mu's palace to question her, but he didn't expect to hear such a big secret.
The feeling of having a green grassland above your head is really uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, it's not true. I was just talking nonsense. He'er is your child. I was just talking nonsense..." Concubine Mu knelt down and crawled to the side of the emperor, grabbing the dragon robe and shaking her head desperately.
"General Mu, you heard it just now, right? The maids and servants present also heard it!" The emperor said loudly, with no pity for the people on the ground.
"I...I heard it with my own ears...Your Majesty, please let Concubine Mu go for my sake! It was my previous doting that caused Concubine Mu to do something stupid...I beg Your Majesty to show mercy..."
General Mu spoke haltingly, then suddenly knelt on the ground with his old bones, begging the emperor for mercy.
"General Mu, I have been very gracious. For your sake, I have forgiven Concubine Mu time and time again..."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.
"When Imperial Concubine Mu tried to assassinate the Crown Prince, I let her go. Later, she gave me and the Queen a slow-acting poison. It was Princess Ruixiang who saved me and the Queen. This time, she teamed up with Prince Ping to plot a rebellion and confuse the royal bloodline...
How do you think I should show mercy?"
The emperor told all the bad things that Concubine Mu had done.
I almost sent General Mu away.
"You...how could you do such a thing! Murong Xue, you really brought shame to the Mu family!..." After hearing this, General Mu felt that the Mu family had lost all face.
"Grandfather..." Concubine Mu shook her head and still refused to admit it.
"Don't call me grandpa... I don't have a granddaughter like you!" General Mu turned his head away angrily.
"Come here, banish Concubine Mu to the cold palace and never let her out! Prince Ping Song Moting colluded with the Mu family to rebel, and had an affair with Murong Xue. Revoke the title of Prince Ping and turn him into a commoner! The entire Mu family will be exiled!"
The emperor was so angry that he arranged everything.
The guards outside dragged Concubine Mu away, and no matter how she screamed, it was of no use.
General Mu collapsed to the ground. He had conquered half of the country for the Southern Xiang Kingdom and had made great military achievements, but his fame was ruined by the hands of his own juniors.
"Someone, send General Mu back to the Mu family!" The emperor ordered someone to send General Mu away.
This time, General Mu did not ask the emperor for mercy. The emperor had already given him enough face and only exiled him to the desolate north without taking the lives of the entire Mu family. This was already a mercy.
The emperor strode out of Zhongcui Palace and went to the imperial study.
Imperial edicts were sent out of the palace and divided into two teams, one for rewards and the other for punishments.
After receiving the imperial edict, Prince Ping was so angry that his face turned blue and he glared at the servant who delivered the edict with gritted teeth.
Seeing this, the servant snorted fearlessly: "Now you are no longer Prince Ping, all these things will be confiscated and returned to the public. Prince Ping... oh no, it should be Song Mo Ting, you just take care of yourself!"
After saying this, the servant led the people in the palace back to the palace to report.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Tian Yiru asked anxiously. She didn't want to become a commoner!
"Shut up!" King Ping roared irritably.
After hearing this, Tian Yirui immediately stood up and ignored Prince Ping. Before it was completely dark, she quickly packed up some valuables and prepared to flee Prince Ping's mansion.
After all, she didn't want to suffer with Song Moting.
Song Moting rubbed his brows, feeling extremely regretful. He had made all kinds of calculations, but he had not expected that the Princess of Ruixiang County actually had the help of four divine beasts, which completely disrupted the situation!
At this moment, he finally believed that she was the little goddess, but it was too late.
