Chapter 388: Blood Sacrifice!
Lu Xiang sneered.
"Who are you, young man?"
Mu Que showed no fear: "I am the staff of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so my status is not as noble as that of Prime Minister Lu. However, I am still young. When I reach Prime Minister Lu's age, my achievements may be greater than yours, and my official position may be higher than yours."
Everyone was shocked, even the prince was stunned.
What does this mean? This clearly means that the prince has promised him a bright future when he ascends the throne.
Prime Minister Lu laughed in anger: "Good, good, that's great, Your Highness, your staff dare to speak so arrogantly, it really opens my eyes."
Mu Que snorted and laughed: "You are talking nonsense? I am telling the truth. Your Highness is wise and brave, and has the talent to be a wise ruler. I will follow Your Highness and one day I will become a loyal minister. What is there to hide?"
"How dare you, you brat!"
"Why do you have the right to speak here?"
"All the gentlemen are here. You are a commoner without any achievements, yet you dare to be disrespectful to Prime Minister Lu."
Accusations and denunciations were heard everywhere.
Yu Shengsheng looked at Mu Que, who was thin but tall, with a firm gaze and no fear on his face.
Not like a lunatic.
how……
However, don't judge a book by its cover, that's something she should keep in mind.
Anyway, this situation is interesting. There is no need to attack the prince because the people around him are so stupid.
The prince came back to his senses and slapped Mu Que in the face.
"Are you crazy? What the hell are you talking about?"
The prince was trembling slightly all over and his eyes were wide open.
The image of a virtuous lord that he had always established was shattered by just a few words from Mu Que.
Now all the officials must be thinking that the prince must appear virtuous, not competitive, gentle and modest, but behind the scenes at home, with his aides, he must be arrogant and conceited, and keeps talking about "after he ascends the throne" all day long.
Otherwise, how could an unknown little aide have the confidence to say that he would be more powerful than Prime Minister Lu in the future?
Mu Que was beaten, but he still refused to accept it. He shouted, "Your Highness, don't be afraid. Auspicious signs have been sent from heaven. The heavens are on your side!"
"You are the chosen one, and you should inherit the throne!"
"You always said that if you ascended the throne, you would definitely rectify the government and change the unfair system and inaction of the officials. I am willing to be your pioneer and die for you."
Mu Que's voice echoed in the hall, and everyone looked at the prince.
Yu Shengsheng took a deep breath - this is... too exciting.
After these words were spoken, even those in the prince's party were reluctant to speak for him. Who knew who he would target after he ascended the throne?
An official may be prosperous today and declining tomorrow. It is hard to say who can remain prosperous forever.
The prince was so angry that his heart ached, his head felt dizzy, and his ears were buzzing.
He pointed at Mu Que: "You...you..."
Blood oozed from the corners of Mu Que's mouth, but he didn't wipe it off. Instead, he laughed.
"Your Highness, you built this temple, erected this statue, received incense from the world, accumulated merits from the world, and waited for the right time to accomplish your great cause."
Mu Que looked at the officials and said, "You always say that if you want to accomplish great things, you have to shed blood."
"For Your Highness, I can serve as an official and offer my blood as a sacrifice!"
Yu Shengsheng’s eyebrows twitched.
Mu Que laughed miserably and shouted angrily, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince will inherit the throne forever!"
After saying that, he rammed the statue hard.
"Snap!"
Yu Shengsheng closed her eyes and clenched her hands involuntarily.
The sound was very small, but at this moment, it was particularly clear.
Mu Que crashed into the statue, staining it red, and his body fell down limply, leaving a long trail of blood on the statue.
Blood gushed out rapidly, silently but violently.
The prince was stunned, with no place to vent his anger.
Mu Que's death was tantamount to confirming his guilt.
He rushed over and grabbed Mu Que by the collar.
"Mu Que, you..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet, and Mu Que, who was still breathing, had his eyelids trembling slightly, and there were beads of blood on his eyelashes.
A very light word escaped from his lips.
"The commander has done me a great favor, you bastard, the one I hate... is you."
He closed his eyes, and his bloody hand dropped from the prince's chest, leaving only a bloody handprint.
The prince felt as if struck by lightning, and his internal organs were almost shattered.
The anger was burning in my head and all my rationality was gone.
"Someone, someone! Drag his body away and cut him into pieces!"
"I will grind him to dust!"
The prince's hysterical shouts echoed in the hall.
Sweat oozed from Yu Shengsheng's palms. Although she didn't know who Mu Que was, nor did she know what Mu Que said before he died, she knew that Mu Que was definitely not the prince's man.
I also guessed why Mu Que said that just now.
He was using his own life to dig a huge, inexplicable pit for the prince.
The emperor is suspicious, and even if the prince is eloquent, once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will sooner or later sprout and grow into towering trees.
It was only a matter of time before the crown prince was deposed.
At this moment, someone said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, why are you so anxious?"
Everyone turned around and saw Fu Qingyin walking towards them in the early morning sunshine.
He had changed back into a red robe, and he looked tall and graceful, with a frosty face.
He walked very steadily, as if he was stepping on the prince's heart.
Mu Que's words before his death kept echoing in the prince's ears.
It’s all because of Fu Qingyin, it’s all because of him!
Mu Que is actually his man!
The prince stepped on Mu Que's corpse and said, "Fu Qingyin, you are just a small commander. I am the crown prince. I want to divide the body of a criminal. Do I have to listen to you?"
When everyone heard this - little commander, the prince was going to completely break off relations with Fu Qingyin.
Moreover, Fu Qingyin was as cold and cruel as ever at this moment. On the contrary, the prince changed his previous image and revealed his cruel and violent side.
It's frightening.
They are all experienced people who have experienced the ups and downs of officialdom. How can they not see that the prince at this moment is the real prince?
After listening to the prince's sarcasm, Fu Qingyin was not angry: "Your Highness, don't worry. Maybe he won't be the only one you will dismember later."
"I'm just worried you won't be able to tell them apart."
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
Fu Qingyin looked at Hei Bai who were following behind him, and Hei Bai clapped his hands.
Soon, the Red Dragon Guards led a group of people and stood outside the palace.
They were wearing Taoist robes, the same as those worn by the Taoist priest who opened the door for the crowd.
"They are all from the Tianwang Temple. Your Highness, you must know what the Tianwang Temple is doing, right?"
A thin layer of sweat broke out on the prince's forehead, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Order? I don't understand. This is my first time here."
The officials looked at the prince with complicated expressions - Mu Que had just said that this place was built by him, even the statue was his.
How could he have the nerve to say that this was his first time here?
It's really disgusting.
