After usurping the throne, he died

?? "Mu Xiang! You are cruel and ruthless. You will revenge your kindness, mutilate your siblings, and force your majesty to death—you will be punished sooner or later!"

?? The person who came was Prince Mu Yu's personal guard Chang Qing. He was forced to kneel on the ground with hatred on his face.

"Bold! Your Highness's name is something you can call directly!" Shang Xi slapped Chang Qing's face with a slap, and his face turned red.

??Mu Xiang let go of his hand covering his forearm, his palm was already stained with a layer of blood, and his sleeve was gradually soaked in blood.

??Shang Xi immediately ordered the imperial physician to be summoned, and followed Mu Xiang nervously.

??Now they are people on a grasshopper. If something happens to the new master, he may not feel better.

??Mu Xiang didn't care about the unstoppable blood on his arm, and smiled gently at Chang Qing: "Cruel and merciless, as for revenge and killing brothers and feet... Isn't the lonely brother good? He lives well without missing arms or legs... ...Furthermore, does he have any kindness with Gu?"

?? "..." Chang Qing was trembling with anger, but after holding back for a long time, he could only utter one sentence: "You must die!"

?? "It's up to you to say whether it's good to die alone, but your master, I'm afraid it will be a bad death."

??Chang Qing knelt on the hard stone ground, her face was full of stubbornness, as if she was dissatisfied with Mu Xiang's words.

??Mu Xiang raised his lips, and said with a hint of malice: "Prince Mu Yu conspired to go to jail, refused to accept the new emperor's position, and sent people to assassinate his feet in broad daylight—his heart can be punished."

??Chang Qing's face suddenly turned pale, and the guard's improper capture made Chang Qing break free. A cold light flashed in his sleeve, and Shang Xi was shocked: "Your Highness, be careful!"

??However, Chang Qing just wanted to end himself: "I did what happened today alone, and it has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince. He doesn't know about it...ah!"

??Mu Xiang quickly clasped his wrist and twisted it back. Seeing Chang Qing's expression twisted in pain, he didn't let go.

"It hurts? I hurt too." Mu Xiang glanced at the wound on his arm that was still bleeding, and increased his strength.

?? He grabbed Chang Qing's neck and watched his face gradually turn purple: "What kind of ecstasy drug did he give you to make you both be like this..."

?? They all protect him and support him.

??Chang Qing's struggle gradually became smaller, and the strength of holding Mu Xiang's hand gradually relaxed.

"Mu Xiang." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

?? "..." Mu Xiang didn't turn his head, but the strength in his hands relaxed a little.

??Chang Qing got a break to breathe, fell to the ground and breathed heavily.

"He's still just a child." Shi He walked over slowly, knelt down and picked up the calligraphy and painting that Mu Xiang had just dropped on the ground when he was stabbed.

??The topmost point of the word "Xiang" on the calligraphy and painting was spattered with a drop of blood at some point.

"Child?" Mu Xiang looked down at the calligraphy and painting on Shi He's hands coldly, "Everyone has to pay for their words and deeds, Chang Qing does, and so does Mu Yu."

?? "I said it!" Chang Qing's neck was dyed red with anger, "This matter is my own proposition, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness."

"But you are Mu Yu's personal guard, the child he watched grow up with one hand, you master and servant please respect..." Mu Xiang said slowly, "How can I believe that he doesn't know?"

??Shi He glanced at him, but said nothing.

??Chang Qing is a baby picked up by the roadside when Prince Mu Yu visited Jiangnan when he was young.

??Mu Yu treated him very well. He spent all his food and clothing like a son of a noble family. Later, although he taught him martial arts, and he didn't have a suitable status and could only be called a master and servant, he really had a deep affection.

??Mu Xiang understood that even if Mu Yu wanted him to die, it was impossible for him to send Chang Qing over. His pure and kind brother would probably be reluctant to see the child he raised to die.

?? But Chang Qing gave him such a good excuse in vain, he always had to hold on to something.

??He said again: "It's better to call the grand master and discuss the former prince's fate again."

??Chang Qing raised his head and glared at Mu Xiang. The 15-year-old boy's eyes were round and he didn't have any momentum at all. Instead, he looked like he was relying on the national teacher to pretend to be a tiger.

??Shi He didn't refuse, he glanced at Chang Qing lightly, and followed Mu Xiang to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

?? Grand Master Song Jin arrived soon, with a serious expression on his face.

??Regardless of the truth, whether everyone believes it or not, Mu Yu is currently a criminal who is trying to plot rebellion.

??Now he is trying to assassinate the new emperor who is about to succeed to the throne. If this crime is serious, it is a serious crime against the nine clans.

?? Although it is impossible for Mu Yu to exterminate the Nine Clans as the Crown Prince, if Mu Xiang insists on using this excuse to do something, they will not be able to stop him.

?? "Your Highness, the prince is naturally..."

??Mu Xiang answered the last two words for him, with a tone that could not hear any joy or anger: "Born pure and good?"

"... Exactly." Song Jinchao Mu Xiang saluted, "It is absolutely impossible for the crown prince to do such a treacherous thing!"

??Mu Xiang: "..."

??Song Jin's words were not only to dissuade Mu Yu from suspicion, but also satirized Mu Xiang as a "rebellious" person.

??Mu Xiang sneered: "The grand master still calls him the prince now? Although you are an old man in the court, you should also pay attention to misfortunes coming out of your mouth."

??Song Jin lived for five or 60 years, and for the first time in his life, he was threatened so abruptly by his junior, and he was very angry.

"Mu Xiang." Shi He glanced at Song Jin's undulating chest, and finally called out Mu Xiang's name.

??Mu Xiang coldly withdrew his gaze. After all, he stopped the accusation that he could verbally coerce the prime minister.

??He looked at Shi He beside him: "What's the opinion of the national teacher?"

??Shi He's tone was indifferent, and he threw Wang Zhan directly: "Your Highness can give the jade seal."

??The audience was silent.

?? Although Mu Xiang wanted to blackmail something with today's incident, he didn't expect Shi He to come with such a heavy blow.

?? What Mu Xiang said before, it is not nonsense to assume that the prestige of Shiri Guoshifu will surpass the imperial power sooner or later.

??One of the reasons is that the Imperial Seal of Xiangguo is in the hands of Shihe.

?? It's a long story, but it's because Mu Huaihe did some absurd and stupid things at the beginning, and was resisted by a group of courtiers led by Song and Jin, forcing him to hand over the jade seal as a compromise.

?? I thought I would perform better later and took the jade seal back, but I didn't expect to die in Mu Xiang's hands.

?? "I hope Master Guoshi thinks twice." Song Jin looked at Shi He solemnly. Although he was a colleague of the three dynasties, he still couldn't figure out what this colleague was thinking.

?? "The jade seal is supposed to accompany the emperor, and should not be in my hands because of emotion and reason."

"Absolutely not!" Chang Qing, who was kneeling under the stage, came to his senses and looked at Shi He angrily. The most respectful thing is..."

?? With a sound of "啪——", Chang Qing's face was heavily tilted to one side, and five finger prints were clearly visible.

?? "Noisy."

??The injury on Mu Xiang's forearm was getting more and more painful. He hid the unnatural expression between his brows, and said to Shang Xi who slapped Chang Qing, "Gag his mouth."

??Shang Xi did as he said, took a piece of cloth and strangled Chang Qing's mouth from front to back, so that he could only make a whining sound.

??Song Jin watched this scene silently, and said after a long while: "Since Master Guoshi has made up his mind, then so be it, I will take a step back first."

??The three present all knew in their hearts that Yuxi was a condition for Mu Xiang to give up asking Mu Yu for "instigating his personal guards to assassinate the new emperor". Once Yuxi was in hand, it would be regarded as nothing happened today.

??Shi He also got up: "I will bring the jade seal to His Highness during dinner, so let's go first."

??"he……"

?? "Although Chang Qing is not an adult, as His Highness said, everyone should be responsible for their own actions."

?? What Shi He said meant that he didn't care anymore, and let Mu Xiang deal with Chang Qing.

"...Then let's execute him." Mu Xiang stared closely at Shi He's back, but Shi He only paused when he heard the words, and then left without stopping.

"Look, Master Guoshi can't save you." Not only did Mu Xiang not relax in his heart, his breathing was tighter, he loosened his clothes uncomfortably, but still had a hint of sarcasm when facing Shang Xi .

?? "If you can let a vicious person like you die with me, it will be considered a worthy death."

??Mu Xiang frowned slightly, feeling even more uncomfortable.

??He quickly realized that it was Chang Qing who poisoned the knife stabbed at him, but he didn't panic too much. He just looked at the anxious Shang Xi: "Put him in the secret room."

?? "Your servant takes orders..." Shang Xi stepped forward anxiously, "The imperial doctor has been waiting outside for a long time, Your Highness, hurry up and summon..."

??Mu Xiang didn't speak, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he had no energy.

?? When he stood up, he only felt dizzy for a while, and he barely stopped by holding on to the handrail.

??The picture in front of me gradually blurred, and finally only a white figure suddenly appeared, and Changqing's roar was still ringing in my ears: "Master, how can you save this rebellious minister and traitor!"

??Yeah, Mu Xiang fell down slowly...

?? He was cruel and cruel, and he killed his beloved student, so what to do to save him.

??…

?? An uneasy dream.

??Where Mu Xiang walked, corpses were strewn across the field. This place was like the outer wall of a city. Corpses were thrown from the high wall one by one, and there was a rotten smell everywhere.

?? Not far from the wall, a body stood up and walked towards Mu Xiang unsteadily.

??He stepped forward subconsciously. He thought he was a living person, but he never wanted to get closer. What he saw was a rotting corpse. The face was empty and there were no eyes. There were only two holes, and it was a thick dead gray. .

??Mu Xiang took a breath, and saw the red rope jade pendant on the chest of the rotting corpse.

?? It was a birth gift given to him by his mother when he was born, and it was always worn by him and never taken off.

??This rotting corpse was originally himself...

??Mu Xiang lying on the couch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was pale and covered in cold sweat.

??The imperial physician Shen Zhuomo waited respectfully aside, watching Shi He administer the needles to Mu Xiang.

??He couldn't understand Mu Xiang, why didn't he take advantage of his illness to kill the former prince Mu Yu directly, but let him stay in the prison, and didn't even prevent anyone from visiting him. Isn't he afraid of raising tigers?

??He also couldn't understand the national teacher. Obviously the former prince was his student, but not only was the national teacher not in a hurry to save the former prince, but he was here leisurely administering acupuncture for Mu Xiang's poison.

??Obviously this poison is difficult for him to deal with. As long as the national teacher just sits idly by, the former prince can restore the situation...
