Moon frost snow

Mu Nanfeng's face turned extremely grim after hearing the contents of the will. He knew that this will meant that he would lose his right to inherit the throne, and Mu Han would become the new emperor.

After reading the will, Eunuch Heng looked at Mu Nanfeng's expression and smiled triumphantly. However, Mu Nanfeng did not give up easily. He came up with a plan and decided to expose Empress Pei's conspiracy at the funeral.

Henglu finished reading the imperial edict and handed it to Mu Han, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince..."

He immediately slapped himself again, knelt down and said, "Long live His Majesty."

Only half of the ministers followed suit and kowtowed, shouting, "Long live the emperor."

Mu Han was immersed in sorrow and ignored them. The person who treated him best in this world was gone too.

Queen Pei gave Henglu a look, and Henglu immediately helped Mu Han down.

Empress Pei said, "Everyone, please stand up! The new emperor is extremely sad. Please understand the heartache of a son."

They were all Queen Pei's followers, and whatever Queen Pei said, they would just echo, "Your Highness, we dare not."

A few days later, Emperor Yu's funeral was held with great fanfare. While no one was paying attention, Mu Nanfeng quietly placed some evidence on the mourning hall, preparing to expose Empress Pei's crimes at the appropriate time.

When the funeral was halfway through, Mu Nanfeng suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, I have something important to tell you."

Everyone was shocked, their eyes turning to him. Mu Nanfeng held up the evidence in his hand and said sternly, "This is the truth I found about my father's death. Everything was done by Empress Pei and her followers!"

The ministers present were in an uproar. Empress Pei's face changed drastically. She angrily shouted, "Mu Nanfeng, how dare you slander me! This is clearly your conspiracy!"

Mu Nanfeng sneered: "Hmph, you can tell whether it is slander or not at a glance." He handed the evidence to several respected ministers for inspection.

After reading the evidence, the ministers looked at each other with solemn expressions. One of them stood up and said, "This evidence is indeed shocking. This matter must be thoroughly investigated." At this time, the scene fell into chaos, and some ministers began to whisper and discuss.

At this moment, Mu Han stepped out from behind the scenes, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He said loudly, "My dear ministers, please be patient. I will investigate the truth and give justice to the late emperor."

Then, he looked at Mu Nanfeng, "Royal brother, this matter is of great importance and requires long-term consideration..."

Empress Pei looked at Mu Han unhappily, "Your Majesty, do you also doubt me?"

Queen Mother Pei waved her sleeves with a gloomy expression and shouted, "Someone, come! The new emperor is so grief-stricken that he is already unconscious and talking nonsense. Quickly help him down and let him rest!"

Following her order, a group of guards dressed in gorgeous clothes immediately rushed into the palace. They stepped forward quickly and carefully to the side of the new emperor in a well-trained manner.

Two of the burly guards stretched out their strong arms and gently supported the slightly thin body of the new emperor, as if they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt this extremely noble emperor.

The other guards stood on both sides, escorting the new emperor slowly towards his bedroom with solemn expressions.

The whole scene seemed solemn and dignified, yet revealed a hint of tension and uneasiness.

Then there was a crisp "pa" sound, and Empress Dowager Pei's well-maintained, white jade-like hand slammed heavily on the armrest of the dragon throne beside her.

This crisp sound seemed like an order, instantly breaking the silence of the originally solemn and dignified hall.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of hurried and orderly footsteps came from far away.

In the blink of an eye, numerous guards in armor and armed with bows and spears surged towards the center of the hall from all directions like a tide.

They acted quickly and were well-trained, with a stern and majestic look on each of their faces, like a group of messengers from hell, chilling to the bone.

Mu Nanfeng looked at Empress Dowager Pei calmly and laughed, "Hahaha, you still refuse to admit that you poisoned the late emperor. So many well-trained guards are not the late emperor's dragon guards. You are trying to usurp the throne."

Empress Dowager Pei snorted coldly, "If you surrender obediently, I will spare your lives for the sake of the late emperor. Otherwise, none of you will walk out alive today."

Mu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Really?"

Mu Nanfeng's eyes were firm and fearless. He shouted loudly: "You want us to surrender? No way! Even if my father has never liked me, I am still his son. Even if I have to risk my life today, I will seek justice for my father!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the group of guards like a ghost.

The sword in his hand flashed, and wherever he touched, the guards fell to the ground. His sword skills were like a raging storm, so fierce that it was impossible to resist.

When Empress Dowager Pei saw this, her face turned extremely ugly. She didn't expect Mu Nanfeng to be so powerful.

She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "I must get rid of this guy as soon as possible. I can't let him ruin my plan!"

So, she waved her hand, and more guards rushed forward and surrounded Mu Nanfeng.

I saw two people on the field fighting back and forth, their fists and palms colliding, creating gusts of strong wind.

One side is as agile as a ghost, with sharp and varied moves; the other side is steady and cautious, resisting the opponent's attacks with fierce force.

Their figures flashed across the chaotic field, making it dazzling.

Some ministers who had no martial arts skills were hiding here and there, and some innocent people were affected. Their shouts were soon drowned out by the sound of fierce fighting.

The whole scene was in chaos, as if a storm was raging, and no one could predict who would win in the end.

After the fight, Mu Nanfeng was obviously at a disadvantage, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Eunuch Heng came running with an urgent report in his hand. "Queen Dowager, this is bad, Queen Dowager, an urgent report has arrived from eight hundred miles away. The Second Prince of Beihan has already captured several cities."

Everyone who heard this was shocked. Empress Dowager Pei took the secret report and took a look at it, then her figure shook.

Pei Xiang hurried forward to take it and took a look. "What? How did he capture so many cities in just a few days? If he breaks through Yuchang Pass, then Yudu will be the only one he will attack."

The others also began to panic when they heard this. Prime Minister Pei looked at Queen Mother Pei and said, "Queen Mother, please send troops to support us immediately!"

Before Empress Dowager Pei could speak, another guard came running over and said, "Military report, urgent military report."

Prime Minister Pei stepped forward and took the military report. "This, this west has also been occupied. What should we do? Queen Mother, please order the troops to be dispatched quickly!"

Someone said, "We only have General Yu and his 100,000 soldiers. If we send them to the northwest and north, will we have any chance of winning?"

Empress Dowager Pei was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter. At this time, a minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

Queen Mother Pei looked at him and said, "My dear, please speak quickly."
