Mo Yunzhao's face was ashen.
He was seething with anger.
Someone actually blew up the Empress Dowager's coffin, right in front of him.
He left the palace in a grand procession.
Everyone returned looking disheveled and dejected.
The soldiers, ravaged by traps, hidden weapons, and gunpowder, were in a state of utter devastation.
The nightmare of the Sui Dynasty's military camp that had haunted him resurfaced amidst the rain of arrows.
A deep-seated fear fueled his anger.
The disheveled state of being rescued by Mo Yunhan when he was cornered only fueled his murderous intent, leaving him with nowhere to vent it.
Upon returning to the palace, he discovered it had been occupied. At that moment, he wished he could kill everyone in the world.
When I saw the chaotic scene in the Jade Terrace, I almost spat out blood.
This is the most sacred Jade Terrace of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"What have you bastards done?"
He angrily scanned his surroundings, but upon seeing Su Weichuan's full head of white hair and the half-eaten ice coffin, all his anger instantly subsided into silence.
“Su Weichuan, you…”
He had barely opened his mouth when a dark shadow suddenly attacked him with lightning speed.
Dressed in blue, she moved with the grace of a startled swan.
His lightness skill was so exceptional that he seemed to pass through an empty space.
The chief eunuch screamed in fright.
"Protect the Emperor! Ninth Prince, quickly protect the Emperor!"
No wonder he called him Mo Yunhan.
In the face of the crisis at Ma Huaipo, Mo Yunhan appeared as if a god had descended to earth, saving everyone.
This image is deeply ingrained.
In a moment of crisis, what comes out is entirely based on instinct.
Inside the Jade Terrace, chaos erupted instantly.
Everyone assumed that the traitor had followed the main force into the capital, harboring treacherous intentions and waiting for an opportunity to kill.
Mo Yunhan was also momentarily stunned.
But it was enough to make him regret it deeply.
Another dark figure, in the blink of an eye, took Jiang Qingwan away from his sight.
"Wan'er!"
He shouted sternly.
He leaped to give chase, but was intercepted and obstructed by the man in the blue shirt.
The two exchanged more than a dozen blows. Mo Yunhan was anxious and confused, and was repeatedly stabbed by the longsword.
However, the other party did not kill him.
The toes touched the jade pavilion.
"The War God of Great Zhou is nothing special!"
After saying that, she gracefully departed.
Mo Yunhan's body emanated a surge of cold energy, and without pausing for a moment, he quickly gave chase.
Two voices darted and flew between the palaces, quickly disappearing from sight.
Zheng Qing and Wang Hao exchanged a glance, about to kneel down and take their leave to help Mo Yunhan.
But someone else preempted them.
Qin Minglang knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face, and shouted loudly,
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
"My mother, Zhang, was placed under house arrest by Cheng Nan, the son-in-law of the second branch of the Su family. I had no choice but to obey the Su family's orders to rebel and assist the Second Prince in seizing the throne amidst the chaos. I deserve to die!"
Mo Shaoze, who was standing beside Mo Yunzhao, said angrily, "Second brother, are you confused? You are the legitimate son of the emperor, how could you plot to kill your father?"
At this moment, Mo Shaoqing was still being held down on the ground.
He looked like a dog in a sorry state, struggling to lift his head to look at the dazzling seven-bead crown on Mo Shaoze's head, his face contorted with hatred and his teeth clenched.
"Shut up! You, the offspring of a lowly woman, dare to speak to me? You even try to climb over me and swagger around. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state. Do you really think your father will make you the crown prince? Dream on! Your mother was a lowly slave, a slave of the Great Sui..."
"Enough!"
Mo Yunzhao was furious.
“Even now, he still shows no remorse. Yan Yunqing, take him away. I don’t have time to deal with him right now.”
Mo Shaoqing was furious and unwilling.
He was dragged out like a dog by the Imperial Guards, but they still didn't forget to kick Qin Minglang.
"You treacherous bastard, you betray your master and abandon your cause, do you think you can live like this?"
Qin Minglang let him kick him, as if he was truly forced into it and sincerely admitted his mistake.
He now only seeks to survive, and is even more grateful that Su Mingchao is dead.
As long as he denounces the Su family and Mo Shaoqing, he can atone for his crimes.
Thinking of this, he knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, I implore you to allow me to atone for my crimes by confiscating the property of the Su family and rescuing my elderly mother from her suffering."
Such a desperate act, sacrificing even one's own family for the greater good, was despicable to Zheng Qing.
Wang Hao even cursed out loud.
"Qin Minglang, you're really ruthless. You even used your own wife and in-laws as stepping stones. The way you knelt and swore allegiance to the Second Prince just now was not like this."
Qin Minglang still wanted to defend himself.
Mo Yunzhao had already raised his hand.
"Take him away and lock him up with the second son."
Qin Minglang was greatly surprised.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I was truly forced into this situation."
The Imperial Guards had already taken action, giving him no chance to object.
It was dragged down very quickly.
Mo Yunzhao had no mind to deal with anything at the moment.
Before Zheng Qing and Wang Hao could ask for permission again, everyone was dismissed.
The two of them said nothing and quickly walked off the stage.
Zheng Qing casually scooped up Li Dou, who was still unconscious.
Since Wang Hao was assigned to the patrol battalion, he naturally couldn't go with Zheng Qing.
There were Imperial Guards all around, so it wasn't convenient to say anything.
He simply said, "General Zheng, if it becomes absolutely necessary, please just let me know."
The two understood each other without saying a word.
Zheng Qing nodded, taking only the palace guards with him. After leaving the palace, he encountered Qing Sui, Ye Qi, and the others who were waiting outside.
"Where is the prince?"
"Where is the princess?"
Yoruichi and Aoi asked their questions almost simultaneously.
Zheng Qing's expression was unusually grave.
The fact that they were able to abduct Jiang Qingwan right under Mo Yunhan's nose, regardless of their motives, is astonishing in itself.
He didn't know what they could do, but right now, finding the person was the most important thing.
