An orphan girl in troubled times, living a miserable life

Chapter 367 If Life Could Just Be Like Our First Meeting
There was a roar from the audience.

"General, please understand that my benefactor is definitely not a witch."

"Please judge for yourself, General. Miss Li has done good deeds for the country and the people. Even if there are some differences, she is still a good person. I beg the General to see through everything and give Miss Li justice."

"Being able to communicate with ghosts and gods is a divine power, how can you say that a person is a demon? One-sided statements cannot be trusted. I hope the general will understand."

"I beg you, General. I beg you, Your Majesty, please give Miss Li justice, and give people justice. Long live Your Majesty."

"Long live your majesty."

"Long live..."

Looking at the crowd gradually kneeling down, listening to the petitions that were getting louder and louder, and amid the thunderous cheers of "Long live the emperor", Shen Yue finally had a smile in his eyes.

Cheng Su, Lu Yao, Lu Fang, Gao Dayao and others all breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Su took the opportunity to take two steps forward and kneel down on his knees.

"Your Majesty, my son is kind and honest, and he is dedicated to others. I cannot say how good he is. Everything he does for Your Majesty and the people is sincere, and he never asks for anything in return. Even though he knows some magic, he has no intention of harming Your Majesty or anyone else. I hope Your Majesty will understand and give my son justice."

Lu Yao, Lu Fang, Gao Dayao and the others all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we must not let down the hearts of our meritorious officials. Please be discerning and punish the criminals, give Miss Li justice, and bring peace to the world."

Cui, Zhou and others were startled and glared fiercely at Cheng Su and others who were kneeling on the ground in front of them. Then they knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, we have come up with this plan for your sake and for the sake of the people of the world. After all, rumors have spread that there is a demon inside and outside the capital, and Miss Huang has discovered the demon girl and reported something fishy. For the safety of your Majesty and the country, we must eliminate her to preserve her. We did not intentionally target anyone. Even if we have not achieved anything, we have not done anything wrong. We are sincere and loyal. I hope your Majesty will understand and not make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy, your Majesty."

Huang Lijin was shocked, staring at these old men who sold her out on the spot in disbelief, and eagerly looked at Shen Yue to explain, "No, I didn't!"

However, others did not give Huang Lijin a chance. After all, it would be better for me to die than for my fellow Taoist to die. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. If they push an insignificant person to take the blame, wouldn't they be safe? What a good deal.

As a result, Huang Lijin was criticized by everyone for a while.

"Your Majesty, please understand. This matter was all led by Huang Lijin. We were deceived because we were devoted to her. We have no second thoughts towards Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is aware of this."

Huang Lijin was desperate and sneered, "Hahaha, I hunted geese all day long, but in the end I was pecked by them. Hahaha, I am blind. Hahaha, I am naive..."

But no one on or off the stage cared about Huang Lijin anymore. Shen Yue looked at Huang Lijin with disgust, waved his hand, and a shadow stepped out of the line, quickly leading people to capture the woman, which made Cui Zhou and others very happy. They thought that today's matter was over, and they kowtowed one by one, shouting "Long live the emperor, his wisdom" three times.

Seeing that servile look, and the smugness of having escaped a disaster by chance, and then seeing his own child suffering, Cheng Su was so angry that he stood up and was about to do it, but Lu Yao and the figure beside him quickly grabbed him. Cheng Su was unwilling to give in, and kicked his legs forward to avoid the pain, "You bastard, you are still quibbling when you are about to die, and you still want to slander my family, I will kill you, I will kill you!"

Gao Dayao and others could no longer hold back their anger, thinking that they should kill these bastards first, and would accept the consequences even if they were punished later.

As soon as he moved, he was pulled back by Li Yaoguang, who had been holding back in silence.

"Yaoguang, don't pull me."

Li Yaoguang silently shook his head at the other party, but his grip did not slacken at all.

Seeing the chaotic situation on the stage, Shen Yue also had a headache. He slapped the armrest of the chair heavily and shouted, "Stop it, in front of all the ministers and comrades, in front of the common people of the world, are you guys making trouble like this?"

The people kneeling on the ground also felt that what was happening on the stage was a farce, especially Xu Chengfeng and his group.

Shen Yue pinched his brows in pain, but today, under the people's petition, no matter what, his Yaoguang was picked out first, which was cause for celebration.

As for Xu Chengfeng, and the Cui, Zhou and other aristocratic families... don't be anxious, don't be anxious, now is not the time to take action.

Cheng Su swept his eyes across the group of people, passing Xu Chengfeng and the man surnamed Lin, and finally landed on Huang Lijin, who was shrinking her neck and trying to make her presence less noticeable. He had made up his mind.

"Today's incident was caused by Huang Lijin, who slandered the meritorious officials and disturbed the people's hearts. His crime is unforgivable and he should be executed. He should be suppressed immediately and beheaded immediately."

Huang Lijin screamed, "No, I don't accept it!" Her dream of becoming an empress, her beloved husband, everything had not come true. For her dream, she had killed her father and brother, with no way out. How could she fail? How could she fail?
No, she couldn't die! Even if she had no ability in her previous life, she would still be an unloved beauty in the palace, and she would never have such a tragic ending. "No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't accept it. I am yours, I am devoted to you, I love you..." What concubine? What love? Shen Yue waved his hand impatiently, and spoke decisively and coldly, "Press him down, and execute him!"

Huang Lijin, who was still unwilling to give in, had her mouth and nose blocked immediately. No matter how much she felt in her heart, she could not utter a single word. She just watched helplessly, alone and full of despair, as she was dragged away, pushed down the execution platform, and taken to the execution ground. In front of the people, a flash of a knife appeared and her head fell to the ground.

The falling head's pupils opened wide, filled with disbelief and unwillingness.

Then Shen Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng, Cui Zhou and others, and gave the order after considering for a moment.

"Xu Chengfeng, General Lin, Cui, and Zhou, you are my right-hand men. You have made many contributions after joining me. But today, you framed my fellow meritorious officials. If you don't punish me, I won't let the world know. Your merits are merits, and your faults are faults. I will fine you three years' salary and use it to help the victims rebuild their homes. I will record your fault and demote you by one rank when you are awarded a title. Do you object?"

The group of people felt as if they had been pardoned. How could they dare not disobey? They kowtowed and thanked the emperor, secretly thinking that they were lucky. However, they thought in their hearts that Shen Yue was still afraid of them. How could they know the imperial mentality of the young emperor who was about to ascend the throne.

Seeing that all the factions had accepted the punishment, Shen Yue looked at Cui and Zhou and pronounced the verdict in a cold voice: "Cui and Zhou are my concubines. They did not obey their husbands, went out without permission, and had secret affairs with outsiders. They were evil-minded and framed loyal people. They are not fit to be wives. The Shen family is not worthy of them. They are sent back home. They have nothing to do with each other's marriage in the future."

"No, my husband, please don't do that. I was wrong. I won't do it again..."

"Husband, Your Majesty, please spare us..."

Shen Yue was unmoved. He waved his hand and a group of people came up, dragging the two away like dead dogs. The head of the Cui Zhou family also softened his spine and looked unwilling, but Cheng Su and others and the people below cheered.

Amidst the thunderous applause and cheers, Shen Yue looked at Li Yaoguang on the side, his eyes flashing with affection.

He raised his hand, and everything around him became silent. Shen Yue started to speak again with a dry throat.

"Li Yaoguang, although a woman, is loyal and brave, fearless of danger and hardship, serving the country, the people and the king without seeking rewards. She is a role model for women in the world, with outstanding achievements, and is specially awarded, awarded..."

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly make Li Yaoguang his wife and queen, to establish her status and not allow her to escape or retreat, and to make it a done deal.

But when he met the gaze of his beloved Qing Lingling, Shen Yue was speechless. He couldn't say the words "Kanchengcheng" (the title of queen) at all. His true feelings were stuck in his throat, extremely bitter, and only heartache remained.

The last word "封" uttered by him changed to "封保保" for Li Yaoguang's deceased parents. Upon hearing this, Li Yaoguang knelt down to accept the decree and express his gratitude.

The crisis has passed, and the golden finger can now stand upright. Li Yaoguang straightened his spine, held Ji Mo firmly, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother, let's go."

Ji Mo's eyes were filled with endless smiles. He nodded and replied gently: "Okay."

The two supported each other, no longer looking at the lonely man sitting high in the center of the stage. Ji Mo deliberately leaned his whole body on Li Yaoguang, and followed the rhythm of her steps. When he passed Cui, Zhou and others, a dark light flashed in Ji Mo's eyes, his fingers moved slightly, and the secret medicine was silently poured.

At first the golden needles were only a guide to the medicine, but this time the two together would create an untreatable poison.

He hurt his beloved treasure, and he could just let it go with a mere salary deduction? Have you asked him about the doctor Yama? Since he is Yama, he can control life and death. How can he let these evil people continue to live happily?

Just wait, this poison is extremely dangerous. You can neither live nor die.

Shen Yue was unaware of Ji Mo's actions in secret. He saw Li Yaoguang walking past him with a bloody footprint, supporting the dazzling man, leaving only a resolute back view. His heart and eyes ached, and he subconsciously stood up to stop him, "Yaoguang."

Hearing the voice, Li Yaoguang did not look back. He firmly supported his father and brother and continued to walk steadily.

Shen Yue felt extremely heartbroken and subconsciously raised his foot to follow. Ji Mo heard the noise and suddenly turned around to look at Shen Yue who was chasing after him. There was language in his eyes that only they could understand.

Shen Yue, Your Majesty, when you agreed to the so-called public trial and took Yaoguang to the execution platform to face the world, you had already lost and were completely out, do you understand?
Shen Yue didn't want to understand, but he damn well understood it. And because he understood it, he could only watch the two figures walk forward without looking back without any hesitation.

How wonderful it would be if life could always be like the first time we met, he was still him and she was still her!
Shen Yue couldn't help but close his eyes and covered them with his hands, letting the tears fall. When he raised his head again, the last bit of fragility in his life disappeared, leaving only loneliness in his eyes.

At the beginning of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Yue wore a golden dragon robe with nine dragons and a crown with tassels on his head. He walked through the long palace road and the square where officials knelt in worship, climbed the stairs, stepped onto the white marble nine-dragon stairs step by step, entered the Guangming Hall, sat on the golden dragon throne on the nine-dragon platform, and accepted the worship of all officials. Amid the three cheers of "Long live the emperor" that spread like a tsunami, Shen Yue ascended the throne and changed the country's name to "Kang". It is known in history as the first year of Taikang. The founding emperor, Emperor Taikang, was a man of great civil and military achievements, diligent in government and loved the people. In the years that followed, Emperor Taikang worked hard to govern the country, paid attention to people's livelihood, and built water conservancy projects, so that the government was clear and bright, the sea was peaceful and the river was calm, his power was feared throughout the world, and all nations came to pay tribute, creating an immortal prosperous era.

A new book has been published next door. I’m relying on live streaming to survive the apocalypse. I hope my kids will like it. Mmmmm.

In addition, this book has several extra chapters, which are about the fate of the enemies, the follow-up of Yaoguang and Ji Mo, and the descendants. Well, about two or three chapters, and then the main focus is on the end of the world. I hope you like and support it. Thank you. Best regards.
