Cold arrows hang like a forest in every corner of Qinghui Garden.

Chu He looked at Qiu Ran, who was supposed to have died in southern Xinjiang, with deep eyes.

That day, he personally stabbed Qiu Ran's heart with his long sword, and the blood foam from his throat still splashed on the dragon pattern on his armor, but at this moment...

"You faked your death that day!" Chu He stared at Qiu Ran with cold eyes.

"I am ordered by His Majesty to bring the Southern Border 'medicinal materials' back to the capital! I was defeated that day, and it was a small matter for me to lose my life, but it was a big matter for me to delay His Majesty's request... I had no choice but to use the method of holding my breath to conceal the truth." Qiu Ran showed a ferocious smile on his face, and suddenly drew the sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Chu He's throat, "Deputy Commander Chu, you didn't expect it!"

Seeing Chu He being controlled, Prince Ning said coldly: "Father is really good at scheming. It must be hard work for you to go through so much trouble to lay out this plan."

"For the sake of the Great Zhou, I am not working hard... But for you and Rong Ge'er, I feel really distressed to see you working so hard but getting nothing in the end." The emperor smiled.

Before he finished speaking, Prince Yong came out tremblingly, leaning on his cane: "Your Majesty... are you really practicing the evil art of immortality?"

"Isn't it good for me to live forever?" The emperor looked down upon everyone. "The country is stable, the seas are peaceful, the rivers are clear, and the neighbors are submissive. All of this is my credit! How can I be at ease handing this country and these people over to others?"

He paused for a moment, a hint of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes, and continued: "The third brother has talent, but it is just a small talent. It is far from enough to govern the world! If I were immortal, I would definitely continue the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years..."

"Your Majesty is only greedy for the imperial power and afraid of death! Why do you want to describe yourself as a wise ruler who works for the country and the people? Is it the behavior of a wise ruler to feed on the blood of the people and defile the women of the neighbors?" Xu Rongrong interrupted the emperor with a cold expression.

The emperor's eyes were like those of an eagle, staring at Xu Rongrong, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Xu's rebellious daughter! You have disobeyed me many times, do you really think I dare not kill you? Archers, kill this girl now!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, several sharp arrows were instantly aimed at Xu Rongrong. The bowstrings clanged, and several arrows were fired at once, rushing towards her with a sharp sound of wind.

However, the next moment, the place where Xu Rongrong was standing was empty.

Mu Rong held her tightly in his arms, leaped into the air, and brought her to a safe place.

The feeling of being shot through the chest and dying in the previous life came to his mind. Although Xu Rongrong pretended to be calm, Mu Rong could still clearly feel the trembling of the woman in his arms.

The warmth from his palms continued to flow into her back, and he said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The emperor saw Mu Rong and sneered, "Brother Rong finally showed up! What do you think of this game tonight?"

"Whether it's towards Prince Ning or towards me...are these inner manipulation techniques all your majesty has left?" Mu Rong's expression was cold, his eyes full of contempt. "Seduction, drugs...which one is gentlemanly? Not to mention that your majesty is a king!"

The emperor's face flushed unusually, as if he had been poked in a sore spot. His eyes were sinister: "Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures! What's more, I have more methods than just these!"

He suddenly shouted: "Zou Rixia!"

"I am here!" Zou Rixia took off his eunuch clothes, strode to the emperor, and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, I am leading the army of Jiangnan Road to gather outside the South Gate. The armies of Northwest Road and Lingnan Road have also gathered outside the North Gate and West Gate. As long as your Majesty gives the order, we can take down the defense of the capital in one fell swoop!"

"Well done." The emperor smiled, "Today, no one involved in this game can be spared!"

When the clan members heard this, they were all horrified. Some people shouted in fear, "Your Majesty, are you going to massacre all the members of the Wu clan?"

The emperor said coldly: "I have no choice. If Prince Ning and Rong Ge'er had not seen through my plan and refused to fall into my trap, I would not have resorted to this desperate measure."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "...What I feared the most before was the 50,000 guards of the capital. Now they are useless. Rong Ge'er...it's time for you to surrender..."

Mu Rong frowned slightly and did not answer.

"You have very little internal strength left now, why bother to struggle any longer? As long as you hand over the list of the Mu Family Army, I will spare Ping An's life."

Mu Rong still did not answer, but just lowered his head to comfort the girl in his arms.

The emperor saw this and glanced at Zou Rixia who was kneeling in front of him: "Go to the prison and bring Mu Wu here. The guards of the Mu family army should stay by the master's side."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration, but you don't have to make this trip. I will come myself." A male voice came from afar, with a joking tone in his voice.

Everyone looked in surprise and saw Mu Wu in military uniform, walking towards them with a heroic look, and there was a woman walking beside him.

"Then... isn't that Miss Wei from southern Xinjiang?" One of the royal family members recognized Wei who came to Beijing with the New Year gifts last year.

Everyone was puzzled, but the emperor's face changed color instantly.

Mu Wu was clearly imprisoned in the prison by Zou Rixia, and Wai was just settled by Eunuch Wang as a "medicine", so why did they appear here? !

"Zou Rixia, what's going on?" The emperor asked sternly with a gloomy face.

Zou Rixia lowered his head and did not answer.

"Speak!" the emperor shouted

"Your Majesty, you know that the guards around me have always been named with numbers, and most of them have accompanied me to meet Your Majesty, but among them, only Mu San has never appeared. Isn't Your Majesty surprised?" Mu Rong's voice was calm.

"What do you mean?"

"Mu San... is the person who is best at disguising one's appearance and imitating one's voice."

As soon as Mu Rong finished speaking, Zou Rixia, who had just been kneeling respectfully before the emperor, slowly stood up under the emperor's shocked gaze.

He clasped his hands together and said loudly, "Zou Rixia has been executed. The private armies in the Northwest Road and Lingnan Road are also under the control of Deputy General Ai and Mu Lu. Your Majesty does not need to wait."

If it weren't for Eunuch Yao supporting him, the emperor would have collapsed to the ground.

Good...very good!

Just now, because he saw that "Zou Rixia" had already made up his mind, he revealed his true colors and ordered the clan members to be silenced...

Now...Now...

"Imperial Guards! Protect the emperor!" the emperor shouted.

But as soon as the emperor finished speaking, the imperial guards ambushed in Qinghui Garden began to move suddenly, and the sound of swords and knives suddenly rang out.

Qiu Ran wanted to check, but as soon as he made a move, the sword he was controlling was knocked down by Chu He. After just a dozen moves, Chu He nailed him to the ground with the sword.

"You're a defeated general, and you want to turn the tables today?" Chu He looked at Qiu Ran with a sneer, as if he was looking at a dead man.

In an instant, the imperial guards holding longbows were captured by the imperial guards under Chu He brought by Mei Zhou and were pinned to the spot, unable to move.

"You? You dare to rebel!" The emperor's eyes were red with anger. He looked at Prince Ning: "You...are you going to kill your father?"

King Ning replied: "I dare not, I just want to know the truth."

"What good does it do to know?" the emperor replied coldly, "When you become emperor, you will be the same as me!"

"Like my father, you sucked the blood of poisoned people, imprisoned living people in a secret room, and died from being trapped?" King Ning's eyes were full of pain.

"Shut up! You... are slandering me!" The emperor pointed his finger at Wai and denied, "She just arrived in the capital. How could she have been trapped and died?"

"Have you forgotten the corpse of the woman who died holding the zither in your secret room?" Prince Ning saw that the emperor had no intention of repenting, and he was both angry and resentful. "Didn't Yao Yaoji, who was famous in the capital sixteen years ago, die after being trapped in the secret room by you and sucked her blood?"

Everyone in the royal family was stunned! Many people took a deep breath.

The emperor was so ashamed and angry that he could not admit it at this moment. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Well, well, well! In order to seize the throne, you actually slandered your father like this!"

He is not afraid of death and no evidence!

Everyone could only look at each other, and the atmosphere was temporarily deadlocked.

As the two were confronting each other, Wai, who had walked closer at some point, suddenly fell.

Her arm was cut by a stone in Qinghui Garden, and blood gushed out instantly, covering her arm.

The next moment, the emperor fell beside Wai like a madman and bit him.

This sudden change frightened all the members of the royal family.

Some female relatives even leaned over and vomited.

Enduring the pain in his arm, Wai sneered and said, "Your Majesty, are you still going to deny it?"

The emperor raised his head, and the blood at the corner of his mouth made him look even more hideous.

He looked around and saw that everyone in the royal family was staring at him as if he were a monster, their eyes were filled with fear, disgust and disappointment...
