Upon receiving the order, the Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward to drag Situ Jin away.
"Who dares to touch my mother?" Feng Mo roared in fury, unleashing several palm strikes in quick succession.
Several of the Imperial Guards at the front all fell to the ground.
Emperor Zhaojing was furious, "Feng Mo, do you want to rebel?"
Feng Mo's pupils contracted, his fists clenched, and he finally knelt down, "Your subject dares not!"
Emperor Zhaojing snorted coldly, but did not make things difficult for him. He waved his hand, and immediately more Imperial Guards stepped forward.
This time, Feng Mo did not obstruct him.
He kept his eyes down, his gaze not falling on Situ Jin.
Soon, Situ Jin was dragged out.
Emperor Zhaojing continued, "Drag that adulterer out and castrate him for me."
Soon, the Imperial Guards took Meng Hu away from the bed.
Emperor Zhaojing finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and he was completely overjoyed.
He finally dealt with that vicious woman, and he was able to vent his anger.
However, now is not the time to kill her.
After all, she had indeed amassed considerable power over the years, and if pushed too far, those people would inevitably turn against her.
He has to deal with her slowly and avenge his Xuefei.
Just then, several screams came from outside the door.
Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes and rushed out first.
The Imperial Guards who had been holding Meng Hu were now lying on the ground, while Meng Hu, who had been unconscious, had somehow woken up, killed a few of the Imperial Guards, and leaped onto the roof.
Upon seeing Xie Jingrun emerge, he did not linger, but instead dashed into the darkness.
Changlin asked for instructions: "Should we pursue them?"
"No need," Xie Jingrun said calmly. The Meng Hu had already gained the upper hand, and with the night already deep, they couldn't catch up at all.
Emperor Zhaojing then came out and, seeing the Imperial Guard lying on the ground, immediately understood what was happening. He said with some regret, "He managed to escape." If this traitor had been castrated, Situ Jin's expression would have been much better. However, being able to depose Situ Jin tonight was already an unexpected bonus.
His face was flushed and he looked refreshed, but he still looked angry as he said, "Minister Xie, send someone to keep a close watch on Situ Jin. We will set off for the capital tomorrow."
"Yes," Xie Jingrun replied, glancing at Changlin.
Changlin understood and went to personally guard Situ Jin.
Having finally found a pretext to remove Situ Jin from office, there was no room for further change.
At this moment, Feng Xin, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, knelt down before Emperor Zhaojing.
"Father, over the years, even if Mother has not made any great contributions, she has still worked hard. Please give Mother a chance to make amends."
Emperor Zhaojing said dejectedly, "Xin'er, you are still young and don't understand. The mistakes your mother made are simply unforgivable. As the Empress, how could she commit such a disgraceful act? Where does that leave me? I haven't ordered her immediate execution, which is already out of consideration for you and Mo'er. Haifu, help me back!"
Haifu immediately stepped forward, helped him up, and led him outside.
Feng Xin looked utterly hopeless and collapsed to the ground.
When she saw Xie Jingrun, hope ignited in her eyes, and she couldn't help but reach out and grab the hem of his robe.
"Brother Jingrun, please plead for my mother." She looked at him with a pleading expression.
Xie Jingrun pulled back the hem of his robe and walked away.
Feng Xin's face was covered in tears, and she didn't know what to do.
Just then, Feng Mo came out of the house.
"Brother!" Feng Xin stood up and ran over, "Mother..."
"Don't worry, Mother will be fine." Feng Mo said, forcing himself to stay calm when he saw his sister.
