"Mu Yangrun!" Mu Yangwei roared, his cold eyes filled with rage. "How much has the Bai family contributed to Sheng Ning Kingdom? Don't you know? If you kill the Bai family members, do you want all the people to rebel against you?"
"Hahaha!" Mu Yangrun laughed loudly, and said disdainfully, "No matter how powerful the Bai family is, they are still just subjects. If the ruler wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die! I don't want you to elevate the Bai family so much!"
"They're just ordinary people, I, Mu Yangrun, am not afraid!"
Hidden in the shadows, Bai Tuantuan shook her head. Such an arrogant and conceited third prince dares to dream of becoming a monarch? He's dreaming!
The Empress nodded: "That's right. Since the Bai family can't be used by us, what's the point of keeping them around?"
Mu Yangrun looked at Bai Zeyi and Bai Haotian: "Weren't you two so smug? Why aren't you saying a word? Do you know you're doomed? Hahaha! Maybe I could spare you if you begged me!"
With that, Mu Yangrun walked up to Bai Zeyi, grabbed him by the collar, and said coldly, "Weren't you so powerful? Weren't you so arrogant? Come on! Keep cursing me! What, now you've been caught by me! I want to see what else you can do!"
"I've got all of you Bai and Chen families under my control. Even Father Emperor can't save you! Hahaha, you're all doomed! Doomed!"
Bai Ze raised an eyebrow, looked at Mu Yangrun's frenzied appearance, and simply closed his eyes.
Bai Haotian, standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer: "Mu Yangrun! Let go of my brother! If you dare to touch a single hair on my brother's head, I won't let you get away with it!"
"Sixth Uncle!" Chen Junfeng hurriedly called out to Bai Haotian, shaking his head almost imperceptibly.
Chen Lingfeng quickly added, "Sixth Uncle, it's alright, don't worry."
Bai Haotian's eyes were filled with anger. When he heard that the Bai and Chen families had been taken into custody, he rushed in alone, only to be captured by Mu Yangrun's men.
It wasn't until they got to the prison that they realized it was all a plan.
You should know that when Chen Lingfeng and Chen Xingfeng saw Bai Haotian, they were completely stunned. Hadn't they already sent a message back? Why did they rush in?
Seeing the Bai family's defiant demeanor, Mu Yangrun grew increasingly enraged. He drew his sword and placed it against Bai Haotian's neck, saying, "I'll see how long you can keep up this tough act! If you dare to move again, my sword won't be so ruthless!"
"Sixth Uncle!"
Chen Lingfeng and Chen Xingfeng shouted at the same time, their eyes filled with anger as they looked at Mu Yangrunli.
"Mu Yangrun, let go!" Mu Yangwei also became nervous. In their plan, they never expected that Mu Yangrun would kill the Bai family directly.
After all, he needed the support of the Bai family to ascend the throne; otherwise, how could those ministers be convinced?
"Hmph!" Mu Yangrun glared coldly at Mu Yangwei. "Who do you think you are? Do you still think you're the Crown Prince? You're a prisoner now! I can do whatever I want with you. If you want me to release them, you'd better kneel down and beg me!"
"Crown Prince!" Bai Haotian quickly looked at Mu Yangrun, showing no fear of the knife in his hand. "So what if I die? I, Bai Haotian, have died countless times on the battlefield! I'm not afraid!"
"Brother, what do you say?" Mu Yangrun looked at Mu Yangwei with amusement. "If you don't kneel down, I'll take action!"
"Thump!"
Mu Yangwei immediately knelt down, his face showing no embarrassment or grievance: "Let him go!"
Mu Yangrun was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Let him go? I won't! Brother, I want you to see the Bai family members die one by one in front of you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mu Yangrun made his move!
"Sixth Uncle!"
"Haotian!"
Even the usually calm Bai Zeyi couldn't help but struggle!
Mu Yangrun relished their struggle and anger, and laughed loudly: "Die!"
However, no matter how much force he used, he couldn't move his hand forward even an inch!
"Run'er?" The Empress looked at Mu Yangrun with some confusion. "Why haven't you made a move yet?"
Sweat beaded on Mu Yangrun's forehead. The next second, he staggered backward and fell to the ground, his sword clattering to the side.
Just as the Empress gasped in shock, Bai Tuantuan appeared, looking at Mu Yangrun with a mocking expression: "You've really made something of yourself, haven't you? You actually dared to lay a hand on my uncle. Who gave you the guts?"
"round and round!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
Bai Tuantuan untied the rope and said, "Alright, your trap is almost complete. Now let's just wait and see the show."
Mu Yangrun looked at Bai Tuantuan in horror. Without saying a word, he turned around and tried to run away, but Bai Haotian was one step ahead and kicked him in!
With a "bang!", the door slammed shut.
The Queen said in a trembling voice, "What...what do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing anything! I'm just letting you watch a show."
Bai Tuantuan went into the inner room and released Bai Han and Chen Luo.
Upon seeing Bai Han and Chen Luo, the Empress's face turned deathly pale.
In the blink of an eye, the situation in the Queen's palace changed.
Soon, Leng Zhizhi arrived with her two daughters.
Following behind were the people from the Fengyue Pavilion.
"Tuantuan, you're finally back! What should we do next?"
Leng Zhizhi looked at Bai Tuantuan with a gleam in her eyes. When her gaze fell on the Empress's face, she instantly became furious, rushed over, and slapped the Empress twice: "I told you, I will repay you twofold for hitting my daughter!"
"Go inside and do it." Bai Tuantuan handed the handkerchief to Leng Zhizhi. "Remember to gag your mouth."
Leng Zhizhi then looked at Shui Shui and Bing Bing: "Zhan'er, take them to get revenge."
Mu Bingbing and Mu Shuishui didn't hesitate and left with Zhan'er.
Bai Tuantuan looked at Leng Zhizhi and said, "Now we just have to wait. Once the Emperor returns, everything will be over."
The Empress and Mu Yangrun exchanged a glance. They were clearly looking for reinforcements, but unfortunately, everyone here was watching them and wouldn't give them any chance.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Tuantuan took out a pen and paper and, imitating Mu Yangrun's handwriting, wrote letter after letter.
Watching from the side, Leng Zhizhi couldn't help but click her tongue twice: "Tuantuan, your handwriting is so good, it's impossible to tell if it's real or fake!"
After writing the letter, Bai Tuantuan placed it in front of Mu Yangrun.
Mu Yangrun gasped, and after reading several letters in succession, asked in a trembling voice, "You, you..."
"Aren't you shocked? Aren't you wondering why I know all about your people?" Bai Tuantuan laughed. "I told you you couldn't beat your older brother! The Crown Prince found all of this out. Come on, leave your fingerprint, and I'll be waiting to watch the show!"
