"You! "You are the one who is guilty first. If I spare you, I will not be worthy of the people of this world!" Duan Chen furiously looked at Qi Hu, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Qi Hu Vanguard is innocent!" Using his silver taels to build a bridge for the people of his hometown and obtain a little kindness from the people, he would be guilty of an unforgivable crime? Your majesty, in the current world, the only person you want to be worthy of is Duan Xingyi! "Who else have you thought of?" A figure slowly walked into the throne room from outside the main hall. Due to the fact that the crowd wasn't able to see his face clearly due to the reverse light, but as his footsteps neared, the entire hall went into an uproar. Even Duan Xingyi was slightly stunned.

They only saw Dou Jing standing in front of Duan Chen with a solemn expression. His eyes seemed to be filled with the essence of sunlight, and the radiance within them was extremely piercing, causing one to not dare to look directly at him. If Duan Chen had just tried his best to remain calm, at this moment, he could no longer ignore the fact that Dou Jing had come back from the dead.

"You … You're still alive? " Duan Chen's voice trembled slightly. Dou Jing was still alive, and the guilt in his heart had lessened by quite a bit. However, the current situation was something he couldn't even measure up to.

"Does the Emperor really want this old subject to die?" His mournful voice contained a trace of sadness. He had been a sovereign for several decades and if his feelings were not fake, then the moment he saw Duan Chen's hair turn white and he was so old that he didn't even dare to recognize him, Dou Jing had the urge to cry.

Speechless, Duan Chen gripped the Dragon Throne tightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"It's not that I want you to die, it's that you've committed an unforgivable death sentence …" As matters stood, there was nothing he could say. The most important thing now was to protect his son and the only root of the Mo family. Even though Duan Xingyi made a thousand mistakes, he was his last hope.

"Heh …" Hahaha … What an unforgivable death sentence! Duan Chen, oh Duan Chen! All my life, I, Dou Jing, have only sought loyalty and righteousness from the heavens and the earth. I never thought that you would end up like this because of your selfishness. You have eyes, but also eyes! " Tears streamed down Dou Jing's face. How could he not be heartbroken at such an answer? His loyalty was trampled upon by Duan Chen. Even though he had a little bit of hope in his heart, it vanished like smoke in thin air.

"Duan Chen, are you still able to sit on the throne of the Crimson Nine Gold Dragon?" Another burst of sound resonated through the hall. After a few rounds of training, everyone's heart had improved a bit, so when they saw the King Wei, they did not display much shock.

Duan Chen's eyes were crimson red and veins were popping out from his forehead. Due to the unbearable pain, his body was extremely weak.

"King Wei?" Why are you here? " Right now, the situation was extremely unfavorable for Duan Xingyi. He really wanted his son to leave from the back hall, but Duan Xingyi didn't understand what he meant in the slightest.

"Where else would I be? Oh, the Celestial Prison! According to His Majesty's meaning, This King should be enjoying the food and drinks in the prison, right? Duan Chen and Duan Chen! Back then, I spent all my family's wealth and even offered up a plate and bowl, because This King saw that you were the righteous and benevolent king. I gave my all to help in order to bring peace to the world, but I never expected that for the sake of this son that I can't even afford to help, you would actually harm an old man who is as good as a brother to me, and even throw me into the dungeon. Wei Wang's eyes were as sharp as knives, and his words revealed his unconcealable disappointment and regret.

"You all … Are all of you rebelling!? Now is the enthronement ceremony, continue! " Even when he was surrounded by enemy troops, Duan Chen had never been in such a state of panic and helplessness.

"Is there any need to continue?" royal father, they clearly want to usurp power and usurp power, but just with these few crimes, it is not enough to defeat me. Third royal sister, do you have any moves left? There wasn't a trace of happiness or anger in his clear voice. His pair of eyes that were as deep as the ocean never left Duan Mu Yan's face. He was truly a heroine that didn't yield to her. This was the woman he loved.

"In addition to being loyal, you have also deducted two taels of silver and grain from the relief service, this is what you have done to the people of Mo!" Duan Muyan's voice was as cold as an icicle, her gaze flickering as she looked at Duan Xingyi.

Sister, is this how you repay Xingyi for saving your life time and time again?" Duan Xingyi's eyelashes slightly fluttered. There was a trace of deep affection, a trace of disappointment, and a trace of sadness. His lazy voice, however, gave off the feeling of a fearless attitude that looked down on the world.

"Mu Yan isn't an ungrateful person, but she can't waste Mo's thousand years of history just because of her private gratitude!" Duan Mu Yan replied with a stern expression, but she didn't dare look straight into Duan Xingyi's eyes.

"What a grand reason. Let's continue. Where's the evidence?" Duan Xingyi smiled instead of getting angry. The slight curve of his lips was extremely uncomfortable. Evidence? Suddenly, the image of Xiao Jin Feng appeared in Duan Mu Yan's mind. Since he didn't have those letters, the witness could explain everything. Right at that moment when Duan Mu Yan was about to call the Pingdu, Min County's corrupt officials. Xiao Yuxuan, who was standing by the side, suddenly stood forward.

"The evidence is right here. These letters are the documents for Duan Xingyi colluding with the local officials to deduct the disaster relief money, as well as the testimony of those officials. They have even personally staked it. Please take a look, Your Majesty!" Right now, her little brother was being attacked from the back. She might not be able to help out much, but she wouldn't need to add insult to injury, so when Xiao Yuxuan handed out the letter, Duan Zitong, regardless of whether it was real or fake, rushed up to snatch it away. However, Xiao Yuxuan cleverly avoided it.

"Yu Xuan!" Duan Zitong looked at Xiao Yu Xuan in disbelief as she choked out a few words, her eyes flashing with endless begging and anticipation. However, Xiao Yu Xuan was determined, so he turned around and handed the letter in his hand over to Duan Mu Yan.

"Mu Yan, this is royal brother's wish. Both I and my royal brother hope that you can succeed!" Xiao Yuxuan's gaze was filled with boundless love. She knew that this time around, he was standing on the same side as Duan Moyan, and their lives would no longer be separated from their lives.

"Xiao Yuxuan!" Have you thought about me! " Duan Zitong's tears fell like rain, and her eyes were filled with extreme sorrow. The moment Xiao Yuxuan turned around and walked towards Duan Mu Yan, she knew that he had lost completely. Xiao Yuxuan lowered his gaze, not daring to look at Duan Zitong. The guilt in his heart gushed out like a tide.

Staring at the letter in his hand, Duan Muyan's heart sank. He raised her head, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes as he stared at Duan Chen, who was sitting in front of his. The entire great hall was silent as Duan Mu Yan walked step by step towards Duan Chen, every step so sonorous and forceful. Looking at the terrified expression on that old face, a trace of pleasure flashed in Duan Mu Yan's heart. Did you see that? The man who had always looked down on us like a blade of grass would also have moments of fear.

"Your majesty, this is what your son, who you've always held in the palm of your hand, has done!" His ice-cold gaze contained no trace of warmth, and Duan Muyan's cherry lips were tightly pursed. His beautiful eyes flickered with a terrifying light, and Duan Chen looked at his daughter in astonishment, feeling an intense heartache.

"We were born from the same roots, why did you force Yi'er into a dead end!" A hoarse voice slowly spilled out from Duan Chen's mouth. That pair of eagle-like eyes had lost its former luster. It was the begging of an aged and helpless old man.

Duan Mu Yan couldn't help laughing.

"When Your Majesty forced Mu Yan to death, did you ever think about kinship? When you sent Mu Yan to prison, did you ever think about the relationship between husband and wife? If you were to tell Mu Yan that they were originally of the same roots, wouldn't that be too far-fetched? " A soft voice, like the voice of a demon from hell, entered Duan Chen's ears, leaving him speechless. Chen Mo Ran's trembling hands were unable to receive the letter Duan Mu Yan handed him. By his side, Eunuch Li held back his tears as he walked over to Duan Chen.

"Third Princess, the Emperor has you in his heart …" Eunuch Li wanted to continue, but was stopped by Duan Chen.

"Show me the letter!" Even if he lost completely, he still wanted to preserve his dignity. The instant that Eunuch Li received the letter, Duan Mu Yan suddenly turned around and walked back to where he stood without a care in the world. Seeing Eunuch Li flip through the pages of the letter, Duan Chen's face became even paler, and the disappointment and indignation in his eyes could not be expressed in words.

"Did Your Majesty see it clearly?" Do you want this subject to invite those officials up for the emperor to interrogate them one by one? " Duan Mu Yan coldly spoke, as a cold glint of light flickered in her eyes.

"Yi'er …" Is this for real? " Duan Chen looked at his son in disbelief. This entire Grand Mo Mountain is his! What is he doing this for!?

"Since the Three Sovereigns have gathered so much evidence, Xing Yi has nothing to say." At this moment, Duan Xingyi's eyes that were filled with the aura of the endless ice desert seemed to be looking at Duan Mu Yan with a deep sense of appreciation.

"Yi'er!" How could you do that! "Forget it, I will decide for myself on this matter. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave!" Duan Chen didn't expect that Duan Xingyi actually didn't refute his words for him, and was only angry. With the current situation, if he were to continue pursuing the matter, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Your majesty, since it's the inauguration ceremony and everything is ready, isn't it a bit of a pity to disperse just like that?" Right now, everything was in vain. As long as Duan Chen gave up the throne, they could be considered to have achieved great achievements.

"Zhu Xu, you mean to continue the ceremony? Are you all opposed to the inheritance of the Starry Night? " A trace of hope flashed past Duan Chen's eyes.

"Oh, Duan Chen!" You must be getting old, if this kind of person becomes the Great Mo Emperor, then how can the Great Mo River Mountain have any hope! " King Wei spoke with disdain.

"Don't tell me you want to go against me!" Duan Chen's white brows furrowed tightly, his red eyes were like a fire. His tolerance had reached its limit, and now that the Emperor Wei had spoken in such a blatant manner, he had not left even the slightest bit of face for himself.

"Your majesty is too serious. Although the Emperor is heartless, as his subjects, we abide by our duties. The Great Mo River is surnamed Duan, there is no doubt about this!" Zhu Xu refuted, causing Duan Chen's face to turn purple.

"Since that's the case, I shall comfort all the elders. Right now, Xing Yi is the only one under my command who can succeed the throne. If any of you do not object, the inauguration ceremony shall continue." Duan Chen's expression slightly eased up, but his body was no longer able to withstand these repeated blows. He powerlessly leaned back on the dragon throne.

"Your majesty has misunderstood this old subject's words. Although the Duan Clan will be in charge of Mo Jiangshan, it doesn't necessarily require Duan Xingyi to be in charge!" Zhu Xu's words shocked Duan Chen. He looked at Zhu Xu with a face full of suspicion. Since Dou Jing Jing and Qi Hu were still alive, did that mean that his Jing Yang …?

Just as Duan Chen was puzzled, the King of Wei spoke first, "We are willing to appoint Third Princess Duan Muyan as the First Generation Female Emperor of the Great Mo!" As the Duke of Wei spoke, he suddenly turned around and faced Duan Mu Yan. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed sincerely! The entire throne room instantly burst into an uproar, and it was natural that since the start of history, no woman had ever heard of someone who could be called Emperor. Now, the words of the King Wei were like a bolt from the blue, and it resounded in the hearts of everyone present, causing monstrous waves. Before Duan Chen could react, Zhu Xu and Dou Jing stood to the side, and Qi Hu knelt before Duan Muyan with a sonorous and forceful voice.
