In the imperial study, Murong Bai stood tall. There was no expression on his angular face, but his eyes revealed a chill.

He was wearing a black robe, the corners of which fluttered in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

Murong Hui was stepped on harshly by Murong Bai. His hands could not move and he could only whimper.

Murong Bai's boots pressed tightly against Murong Hui's hands, causing him to feel excruciating pain.

"I gave you a chance."

Murong Bai's voice came coldly, without any emotion.

Murong Hui burst into laughter: "Opportunity? Uncle, what you said is too ridiculous! You knew that I cared about that position, but you never supported me! I thought that as long as I knew Shangguan Qing's secret, I could get your help, but I didn't expect..."

Murong Bai's face became even colder, and he waved his hand to signal Liefeng behind him to take action.

Liefeng walked forward and quickly removed Murong Hui's jaw, making it impossible for him to speak.

Murong Bai raised his foot and stepped hard on Murong Hui's hand.

With a dull thud, Murong Hui's hand was instantly crushed, and one could even hear the sound of bones breaking.

Murong Hui's face was distorted by severe pain and he whimpered in pain.

However, Murong Bai watched all this with an expressionless face, as if the person in front of him was just an ant.

He said coldly: "You shouldn't have attacked the palace. If you still want to target Qing'er, you will have to pay the price. Don't think that I don't know what you are going to do?"

Murong Bai turned around and sat on the chair, his face as cold as ice, and the words he said made people feel despair.

"Where is Murong Yu? Tell me, and I'll consider leaving you with an intact body."

Murong Hui's expression suddenly became distorted. He raised his head with difficulty, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

There was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth and he laughed loudly.

Murong Bai waved his hand again, signaling Liefeng to take action.

Liefeng stepped forward and snapped Murong Hui's jaw back into place twice.

Murong Hui's body trembled and he groaned in pain, but his eyes were still full of provocation.

Murong Bai was not satisfied with what was said.

"Uncle, they are all your nephews. It doesn't matter who takes the throne. Why does it have to be that sickly guy? How am I inferior to him?"

Murong Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and the words he said made people completely give up hope.

"Because he wouldn't sell out his country for personal gain, nor would he resort to any means necessary for his own selfish desires. Do you think I don't know what you've done? Now you'd better explain where Murong Yu is, or I'll tear you to pieces."

Murong Hui laughed, his voice tinged with madness: "Everyone is going to die, why don't I take someone with me? Uncle, you have to do it whether you want to or not! Because Murong Yu is dead, hahahaha..."

A crazy smile appeared on his face. As he spoke, he picked up the sword beside him and stabbed his heart without hesitation.

Murong Bai slowly closed his eyes, as if he had lost all his strength.

This game of thrones made him exhausted.

At this moment, Shangguan Qing had already flashed to the door and pushed it open without hesitation.

When she saw the mess and corpses on the ground, her face turned pale instantly and her body trembled involuntarily.

Although she had experienced countless bloody scenes in the apocalypse, facing such a scene still made her feel terrified.

Murong Bai hurriedly pulled Shangguan Qing aside and said anxiously, "Qing'er, why are you here? Come into the space quickly."

Shangguan Qing was indeed irritated by the strong smell of blood. Her stomach churned and she felt a little nauseous.

The ground in front of him was covered in blood, which had solidified into dark red patches, and there were bloody footprints everywhere, leaving no place for him to stand.

Shangguan Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She did not leave, but forced herself to go to a clean place.

She asked with concern: "Murong Bai, are you hurt?"

Murong Bai smiled slightly, looked at her gently and said, "Qing'er, I'm fine. It's all the blood of these people. Don't worry. I'll take you away from here first."

Shangguan Qing shook his head slightly, looking at him firmly and saying, "No, we can't just leave like this. Murong Bai, how are you going to deal with those rebels outside? They don't know the situation here yet. If they did, they'd probably fight to the death."

After hearing this, Murong Bai was also very worried. He nodded, and his brows seemed to be furrowed even more tightly.

Shangguan Qing was puzzled when he saw this and asked, "Is there anything else that's difficult?"

Murong Bai sighed and said in a heavy voice, "Qing'er, I haven't found Murong Yu's whereabouts yet. If I can't find him, when the city guards arrive tomorrow, how will I explain to them without the emperor?"

Shangguan Qing's eyes widened in surprise. "What? There's no trace of Murong Yu? What should we do? When the city defense troops arrive tomorrow, we must have the emperor! What should we do?"

Murong Bai also had a worried look on his face, and said anxiously, "Qing'er, it's okay. If things really don't work out, there's still Prince Heqin. We can let Prince Heqin temporarily take over the throne, and then make plans after we find Murong Yu."

Shangguan Qing was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Alright, this is the only way. I hope we can find Murong Yu as soon as possible, otherwise, who knows how long this rebellion will last."

Murong Bai held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Qing'er. Everything will be fine tomorrow. We will definitely find Murong Yu and put down this rebellion."

Shangguan Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and said softly: "Well, if it really comes to that, you can also try it. But..."

Before he could finish his words, Murong Bai reached out and gently covered Shangguan Qing's mouth.

His eyes were full of determination, and his low and gentle voice reached Shangguan Qing's ears.

"Qing'er, I will never become that emperor. I will definitely give you a free and unrestrained life."

Shangguan Qing nodded slightly, understanding his intentions, and said angrily, "Okay, I got it! Go and clean yourselves up."

A smile flashed in Murong Bai's eyes, and he immediately turned to the others and instructed, "Everyone, hurry up and clean up this place. Then, find everyone who can be of use and contact the various officials' residences while we wait for the city defense army to retake the imperial city."

Everyone responded in unison and took action. In the blink of an eye, only two people were left.

Murong Bai smiled gently and said to Shangguan Qing, "Qing'er, I have to go clean up too."

Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Shangguan Qing shook his head helplessly and shouted speechlessly, "Why don't you just go into the space directly?"

However, Murong Bai only left one sentence: "It will dirty the space."
