Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Just then, Li Peiyi rushed in and said, "Sister Qianrou, something bad has happened! The city gate has been breached."

“The Regent’s wife is a smart woman and should know how to weigh the pros and cons,” Mu Xiaoyun said.

"Prince Yu is not afraid of being scorned by the world."

“Prince Qing not only killed the Regent, but also attempted to rebel. I am merely restoring order. His Majesty knows that he is too young to handle state affairs, so he has abdicated in favor of me.”

“Prince Yu is truly farsighted; he has even come up with a reason.” Then he asked, “If you ascend the throne, can you guarantee that His Majesty and I will be safe?”

"Naturally, if I ascend the throne, I will bestow upon His Majesty the title of Prince Hui and grant him two more fiefdoms. As for you, I may take you into my harem and bestow upon you the title of Virtuous Consort. What do you say?"

"You're dreaming. Your aunt belongs to your uncle. Don't even think about getting involved with her. Besides, your aunt doesn't even want to be the empress, so how could she possibly be your virtuous consort?"

Su Qianrou said, "Prince Yu, please don't harm me. My husband is very stingy. If he finds out that you want to take me as a concubine, I'm afraid I'll suffer."

"Now that he's dead, what are you afraid of?"

"I had no idea when I died," Mu Jinchen's voice came from outside the hall, and then he walked in.

Mu Xiaoyun, Prince Qing, and the others were all shocked.

"Royal Uncle!" Mu Zexuan was overjoyed.

Mu Jinchen walked up to Su Qianrou and was relieved to see that she was not injured.

"You're not dead," Prince Qing said in disbelief.

Mu Jinchen turned to look at him and said calmly, "Why does Prince Qing say such a thing?"

At this moment, Prince Qing's mind went blank, unable to understand why things had turned out this way.

In contrast, Mu Xiaoyun was much calmer, saying, "As expected, Fifth Brother is still better. Second Brother admires you."

“Prince Yu is no less impressive. He has been pretending to be a cripple for so many years without anyone noticing. And that’s not all. You use Prince Qing to do things for you and have him raise a private army for you. This way, you can not only shift all the attention to him, but also make him take the blame for you. Even if it is found out, it will not be traced back to you. It’s really a clever scheme.”

"I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I have to thank my Third Imperial Uncle. If it weren't for his stupidity and arrogance, my plan would not have been able to proceed so smoothly."

"I'm going to kill you, die!" Prince Qing swung his sword at Mu Xiaoyun, but Mu Xiaoyun not only easily dodged it, but Prince Qing also kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground in a sorry state. However, Prince Qing didn't care and said, "Mu Xiaoyun, don't be too smug. You are just like me, a traitor. Even if I can't kill you, you won't live either. You will die anyway."

"Is that so? It's not certain who will die yet," Mu Xiaoyun said, before suddenly attacking Mu Jinchen.

Fortunately, Mu Jinchen reacted quickly and dodged it.

Then, the two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

Seeing this, Qi Ming and the others also joined the fight.

Yingfeng and Shiqi naturally couldn't stand idly by, so they joined in as well.

Li Peiyi and Yingyue stayed by Su Qianrou and Mu Zexuan's side to protect them.

Seeing that Mu Jinchen and Mu Xiaoyun had no time to attend to him, Prince Qing couldn't help but think of using the emperor to command the princes. So he looked at Mu Qinian and signaled him to take action against Mu Zexuan.

Mu Qinian understood and nodded.

Then, the father and son seized the opportunity and headed towards Mu Zexuan.

Li Peiyi and Yingyue quickly stepped forward and shielded Su Qianrou and Mu Zexuan behind them.

Su Qianrou also stood in front of Mu Zexuan, protecting him behind her.

Seeing that they were unprotected, Qi Ming attacked them.

"Rou'er!" Mu Jinchen saw this and wanted to save Su Qianrou, but he was held back by Mu Xiaoyun and couldn't get away at all.

Just then, Su Haoyu and Liu Xinyue appeared at the door.

Without thinking, Su Haoyu threw the sword in his hand at Qi Ming, knocking the sword to the ground.

At the same time, Liu Xinyue arrived at Su Qianrou's side as quickly as possible, and then plunged her sword into Qi Ming's chest, causing Qi Ming to fall to the ground.

Then, Liu Xinyue asked anxiously, "Sister Rou, are you alright?"

"fine".

At this moment, Mu Jinchen also defeated Mu Xiaoyun and came to Su Qianrou, asking with concern, "Are you injured?"

"without".

Mu Jinchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Haoyu also came over and asked, "Sister, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Su Haoyu was relieved and then ordered, "Men, capture all the traitors."

Soldiers then entered and captured Mu Xiaoyun, Prince Qing, and others.

Mu Zexuan couldn't help but walk to Mu Jinchen's side, hug him, and say happily, "Uncle, it's so good that you're alright."

Mu Jinchen patted his head and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Mu Zexuan was stunned, staring blankly at him, and called out, "Royal Uncle."

"Alright, let's deal with this first."

Mu Zexuan then released him.

Su Haoyu knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I was ordered by General Yang to lead troops to provide support. I am late in coming to your aid, please forgive me."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty," Liu Xinyue also knelt down.

"What crime have you committed? You have rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor and deserve a reward. Get up now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, Su Haoyu looked at Mu Jinchen and said, "Your Highness, all the traitors have now been captured. In addition, Mu Qixian, who was stubborn and rebellious, has been dealt with on the spot by this humble servant."

"You brat, how dare you kill my son!" Prince Qing glared angrily at Su Haoyu.

"What is there to be afraid of in a traitor like me?"

"you……".

"Your Highness, what should be done with these traitors?"

"Put him in jail and await his fate."

"Yes... take the person away."

Soon, Mu Xiaoyun, Prince Qing, and the others were taken away.

Then, Su Haoyu looked at Su Qianrou and called out, "Sister."

Su Qianrou patted his shoulder and said, "You've grown taller and stronger. You've suffered these past few months."

“It’s not bitter; the people of Lanzhou and Liangzhou are the ones who are truly suffering.”

Things will get better in the future.

"Ok".

Then, Su Qianrou looked at Liu Xinyue and said, "You've lost weight."

"I have lost weight, but I did it and I didn't let you down."

"You still have the nerve to talk? Do you know how scared I was when I heard you were captured? Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain it to General Liu and Young Master Liu."

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's good that you're alright. You can't do this again next time."

"Ok".

"Alright, hurry back to the manor. General Liu will be very happy to know you're back... And you too, go back and see your parents. They've been so worried about you these past few days that they haven't been able to eat or sleep properly. Go back and let them know you're safe so they can have peace of mind."

"Understood... Your Majesty, Your Highness, we shall take our leave now."

Then, Su Haoyu and Liu Xinyue went outside.

Su Qianrou said, "You must have a lot of things to take care of. I'll take Xiaoxuan to Changshou Palace to visit the Empress Dowager first."

"it is good".

After they left, Mu Jinchen immediately ordered, "Have all the officials enter the palace immediately."

“Yes,” Yingfeng replied.
