The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 988 The general trend is over!

The demon monk Qingyan came in a menacing way, if this copper cymbal was hit, Qi Jingyu would have to die on the spot.

Out of survival instinct, he retreated quickly, trying to escape outside the Taimiao, but the two gates were suddenly closed, not giving him any chance to escape.

The copper cymbal of the demon monk Qingyan was getting closer and closer, and Qi Jingyu had a desperate thought in his heart, thinking, is this the end?
In an emergency, the gate of the Taimiao was suddenly broken open by someone from outside. Li Qingmu stepped over the threshold with a sneer and walked in. He laughed and said, "I knew this journey would not be peaceful, and some people finally couldn't help but jump over the wall in a hurry."

Seeing Li Qingmu's figure, Qi Jingyu was both surprised and delighted: "Uncle Huang, why are you here? It's great, save me!"

Li Qingmu glanced at him, then turned to Qingyan: "You old guy, it's really worrying, with me around, you can't kill him, but we can renegotiate a deal."

Along with Li Qingmu, there were many imperial troops carrying heavy crossbows. Ten heavy crossbows were placed at the gate. The demon monk Qingyan had suffered from this thing, and immediately knew that the situation was over and the mission had failed.

He looked gloomyly at Li Qingmu, then at Qi Jingyu, and asked in a deep voice, "What deal?"

"Whoever released you from the dungeon, who ordered you to assassinate the emperor, as long as you point it out, I can be the master and let you and your little apprentice go."

"As long as you don't fight against the imperial court in the future, let's forget about the past, how about it?"

Except that there is no additional reward of 500 taels of gold, the conditions are almost the same as those of Concubine Li, the demon monk Qingyan hesitated immediately, the promise of a concubine is obviously not as important as the emperor plus the regent.

But he didn't trust Li Qingmu very much, he was afraid that this kid would tear down the bridge after crossing the river.

Li Qingmu didn't expect him to switch camps all at once, but sent someone to bring a few memorials, which contained the summaries of the World Association for Clearing Payments from various states and places, and let the demon monk Qingyan have a look.

While he was watching, Li Qingmu persuaded from the side: "Elder Qingyan, the Tianxiahui is over, don't make unnecessary resistance anymore, your little apprentice is quite filial to me, why don't you find a place and live in seclusion here."

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Demon Monk Qingyan was very excited. Since the establishment of Tianxiahui, he has been watching this organization that resists the imperial court gradually grow. Unexpectedly, in just two months, the tree fell and the monkeys dispersed.

He couldn't accept this fact.

Li Qingmu was not in a hurry, pointing to the ten heavy crossbows at the door and said: "Is there anything impossible, do you know how many of these things I have built? I'm not afraid to tell you, there are already tens of thousands of heavy crossbows now."

"And it's still increasing at a rate of four to five hundred per day. I have to thank you Tianxiahui for helping me solve many material problems, such as the kind of charcoal that can be burned very vigorously, and refined steel smelting technology... ..."

The demon monk Qingyan snorted coldly, and said: "It was the people in your palace who let me out, and she was the one who asked me to assassinate the emperor."

"Who?" Li Qingmu's eyes radiated a terrifying light.

He had already guessed that someone in the palace would be unfavorable to Qi Jingyu, but he didn't expect the other party to attack so quickly, Qi Jingyu finally left the palace once, and immediately arranged for the killer to wait here.

The most important thing is that this killer is still the demon monk Qingyan who has long been imprisoned in the bottom of the prison.

You must know that Tianlao is a place to detain serious criminals, and it is not for idlers to bring people out. First, they must be approved by the Minister of Dali Temple, and then they need to be stamped by the Ministry of Punishment before they can raise human traffickers from Tianlao.

But the other party can bring the demon monk Qingyan out from the bottom of the dungeon without anyone noticing. This ability alone can narrow the scope to only a few people.

The demon monk Qingyan took out a few notes from his clothes. After reading the contents on them, Li Qingmu secretly thought that it was indeed the case. It was really Concubine Li who did it.

After reading it, he handed the note to Qi Jingyu.

The latter scolded angrily: "This bitch has repeatedly assassinated me, do you really think it's perfect?"

Originally, Qi Jingyu still had some old feelings for Concubine Li, and he never killed her. Who would have thought that this vicious woman would deliberately seek to usurp the throne!

Regicide was an intolerable crime for any emperor.

He said dejectedly: "Uncle Huang, please help me with this matter."

Li Qingmu nodded. As an emperor, it was indeed not suitable for him to go out and attack the concubine, but this had to be done, otherwise there might be even more sinister moves waiting for Qi Jingyu next time.

In fact, Yulongtai has already collected a lot of criminal evidence that Concubine Li colluded with foreign ministers and common people, including secretly acquiescing to the land acquisition by the gentry and bullies, and she was behind the scenes.

The ancestor worship ceremony continued, and the demon monk Qingyan got Li Qingmu's approval and released him. His little apprentice Liang Yu will also be taken out of the prison, and the two of them, master and apprentice, will retreat to the countryside.

After returning to the palace, Li Qingmu immediately summoned all civil and military officials, held a small court meeting, and read out the many crimes of Concubine Li in front of everyone, and started the side action of the Qing emperor!
Afterwards, the imperial army brought Concubine Li to the scene. She didn't expect that Li Qingmu would dare to act on her behalf. At first, she strongly resisted and refused to plead guilty.

But with all the evidence in front of her, coupled with the acquiescence of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it doesn't matter much if she doesn't plead guilty.

"In view of Concubine Li's deep residence in the harem, she secretly colludes with foreign ministers, forms a party for personal gain, and tries to assassinate the emperor, so her title of concubine is revoked, and she will be imprisoned in the palace from now on, and she will not be allowed to go out or visit her!"

"Obey!" Two imperial guards took off Concubine Li's hair crown and carried her out of the imperial study.

Qi Jingyu kept a cold face the whole time, unmoved.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I was wronged!"

Concubine Li was still struggling, but Qi Jingyu snorted coldly and turned his head away.

The other party's assassination has already touched the last bottom line in Qi Jingyu's heart. If she is not eliminated, I am afraid that more moths will come out in the future.

Concubine Li was imprisoned in the bedroom, and all the valuable things in the room were removed by the Imperial Forest Army, leaving only a cold big bed and a few chairs.

She looked crazy, and smiled foolishly, feeling that the situation was over, and it was hopeless to turn things around.

But she was not reconciled to failure, even if she died, she wanted to pour one last basin of dirty water on Qi Jingyu.

So half an hour later, she took off the brocade on the bed, hung it on the beam, and ended her life by hanging herself.

The moment she pushed the chair away, she yelled angrily, "Even if I were a ghost, I wouldn't let you go!!!"

However, it was not until the second day after her death that the maid who delivered the food found her and called someone to put her down. At this time, her body was already stiff and dead.

Knowing Concubine Li's death, Empress Xie was also in panic all day long. She felt that the emperor would probably be the next one to deal with her. The deposed empress was right in front of her eyes, and soon other concubines would take her place.

So she decided to act first!
