Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 341: Go Ahead, Court Death and I Won’t Care!

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Go Ahead, Court Death and I Won’t Care!

Qi Yun’s gaze slightly narrowed, and he stared at Li Qingmu with a solemn expression, his tone extremely heavy: "Little brat, you better not say such things recklessly. Do you know what disaster you might bring upon yourself if this is proven true?"

"I understand, the crime of deceiving the Emperor is punishable by execution at best, and extermination of nine families at worst!"

"Since you know, then why say it?" Qi Yun stared at him intensely, then waved his hand, "Forget it, you have made contributions in rescuing me. I don’t want to hear anything about deceiving the Emperor. Just don’t mention it; let’s pretend it never happened!"

This was already a great honor, yet Li Qingmu seemed determined to court death, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, I must speak!"

Qi Yun was slightly angry, "Speak of what? Since you don’t want the reward I’m giving you, then hurry up and get lost!"

He was truly angry!

Li Qingmu looked at him, gritted his teeth, suddenly rose from his seat, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, when I served as County Magistrate in Gaoyang County, I once went to Luanshi Ridge to quash the mountain bandits. Those bandits were illegally forging armor and weapons; I failed to report this at the time and I am guilty!"

At these words, Qi Yun’s face instantly grew extremely ugly!

He looked coldly at the young man kneeling on the ground, and said chillingly: "Li Qingmu, do you know what you are saying?"

This was already the final warning, warning Li Qingmu to stop discussing this topic. Otherwise, even he as the Emperor couldn’t protect him!

"Your Majesty, I know very well what I am doing." Li Qingmu took a deep breath and said, "At that time, a total of over five thousand sets of armor and weapons were confiscated. In Heifeng Village, there were all tools for smelting iron. Those bandits would capture nearby villagers to use as labor..."

Li Qingmu recounted everything he had seen and heard in Heifeng Village back then, and then, in silence, awaited the Emperor’s judgment.

However, he waited for a long time, and the other party did not react. Curious, he looked up, only to see the Emperor’s face was as gloomy as water.

"Li Qingmu, you really have immense audacity!"

"Bang!"

Qi Yun slapped the table, scattering the chess pieces everywhere.

"The crime of deceiving the Emperor, this is the crime of deceiving the Emperor! It’s not just you, but also Prince Lingjiang, all deceiving the Emperor! You are conspiring to hide things from me; what do you plan to do? Hmm, tell me, what?"

At this moment, Qi Yun was extremely furious, he even reached out with his right hand, grabbing a teacup, intending to throw it.

But the teacup ultimately wasn’t thrown out, because he saw Li Qingmu’s pale face and remembered the injuries he had previously suffered, his feeble state.

"Get out, get out!"

Qi Yun shouted loudly, the teacup was not aimed at Li Qingmu but was thrown towards the doorway instead.

"Crack!"

Outside, Chen Zhong heard the Emperor’s angry roar inside, merely lowering his head silently, then heard the sound of the teacup breaking, he shook his head and sighed in frustration.

What’s going on here? Everything was fine, but they managed to infuriate the Emperor...

Li Qingmu didn’t leave, even though Qi Yun was angry, he still refused to go.

"Your Majesty, we had no intention of deceiving you. At the time, the matter wasn’t reported because we wanted to keep some equipment for future unforeseen needs."

"Heh, future unforeseen needs? Are you preparing your manpower, secretly plotting a rebellion?"

Qi Yun sneered coldly, Li Qingmu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, ruler and minister, father and son, a son does not rebel against his father."

"Is that so? Through all ages, how many dramas of father and son contending have played out? Whether it was the previous dynasty, Daxia, or now Dazhou, father and son fighting for imperial power are endless. Where have all your sage books gone?"

"Your Majesty, reading is for the welfare of the state and its people, these concerns hold no real significance."

"You..."

Qi Yun felt the urge to cough up blood out of anger.

"Your Majesty, recently, many mountain bandits have reappeared at Luanshi Ridge, and these bandits are extremely powerful, well-equipped. I feel there’s a conspiracy involved and wish to personally go to Jiangling County to investigate the truth!"

Going to Jiangling County, the area around Luanshi Ridge, to investigate the truth?

Qi Yun looked at him coldly: "Aren’t you injured? Going to Jiangling County? Haha, with all the wear and tear of travel, aren’t you afraid of aggravating your injuries?"

No one expected that at this moment, Qi Yun was still concerned about his injuries?

Li Qingmu shook his head: "To serve the Emperor, I am willing to die without hesitation!"

"Hah, you sure know how to speak pleasing words, fine, you want to go, then go, I won’t stop you!"

Qi Yun sneered continuously, this brat really is putting on airs, perhaps due to treating him so kindly lately he thinks this Emperor is weak and easy to manipulate?

If he thinks like that, then he’s wrong, very wrong!

Now, even though heavily injured, he wants to go out and stir trouble? Fine, if you want to stir trouble, go ahead, but don’t blame me for lacking compassion when you wind up dead!

Qi Yun thought that expressing such disapproval should make him calm down?

Yet, in this world, there’s no ultimate annoyance, only greater ones!

Li Qingmu said: "I earnestly request the Emperor lend me a unit of elite Imperial Army!"

"Li Qingmu, you... you truly are fearless!" Qi Yun laughed with fury, "Injured yet intending to engage in antics? Fine, as you wish! Get out of here!"

Qi Yun waved his hand, flipping the chessboard over.

Li Qingmu bowed his head, "I take my leave!"

He turned to leave, the Imperial Study Room left in solitude.

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

After who knows how long, Qi Yun gradually calmed down from his rage, and said deeply: "Chen Zhong, bring Yama over!"
