The next second, the person who attempted to attack Liuyue was blasted away.
Yin Ming appeared behind Liu Yue, his terrifying aura sweeping across the entire street. The remaining guards looked at each other, not daring to step forward.
"You tricked my second uncle into being trapped in a horde of demonic beasts, causing him to be poisoned by demonic poison! Then, you poisoned him again when he was on the verge of death."
"Fine, what a cruel heart, the Mu family, very well done." Jun Liuyue sneered.
"Moon".
At this moment, Old Master Jun rode up on horseback.
"Grandpa, today we must seek justice for the Jun family."
"Alright! Go ahead and do it. If the sky falls, Grandpa will hold it up." When Jun Tianlan saw Mu Shen lying on the ground like a pile of mud, he was filled with anger. For so many years, Mu Shen had been under the emperor's protection.
Grandpa Jun simply couldn't find an opportunity to deal with him.
Under Yin Ming's oppressive aura, Mu Shen's bodyguards were completely unable to move, let alone rescue Mu Shen.
Inside the palace.
Just as Emperor Sikong was leaving the gentle embrace of his beloved, a panicked report came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! General Jun has entered the palace."
"What's there to be alarmed about Jun Aiqing entering the palace?" Could it be that Jun Tianlan would dare to lead troops to attack the palace?
Although Emperor Sikong was wary of Jun Tianlan, he also believed that Jun Tianlan would not rebel for the time being. The Jun family had been loyal and righteous for generations, and Jun Tianlan could not bear the infamy of being a traitor.
"The Imperial Preceptor also entered the palace with General Jun, but... the Imperial Preceptor's condition is not good."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sikong frowned. "Tell them to wait in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Consort Chen helped Emperor Sikong put on his dragon robe. "Your Highness, will you come and keep me company tonight? I feel anxious if I don't see Your Highness."
"Hahaha, you little devil."
Emperor Sikong gently rubbed Consort Chen's slender waist and said in a deep voice, "What is Jun Tianlan up to now? Is he planning a rebellion?"
As Emperor Sikong stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he heard Mu Shen's wailing.
Emperor Sikong looked over and saw that not only Jun Tianlan had arrived, but also Jun Liuyue and a man with a powerful aura.
Yin Ming stood behind Jun Liuyue, but his powerful aura was impossible to ignore.
"Mu Shen, what's wrong with you?"
When Emperor Sikong saw the bloodied and mangled Mu Shen, he almost didn't recognize him.
"Your Majesty, please do justice for this old minister."
Jun Tianlan stepped forward and said loudly.
Because his mouth was stuffed with a smelly sock, Mu Shen could only make whimpering sounds.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Emperor Sikong's face was ashen. "Who beat Minister Mu like this?"
"Your Majesty, it was your humble daughter." Jun Liuyue replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, as if to say, "I did it, so what?"
Emperor Sikong's brow twitched violently.
Old Master Jun: "Back then, my son Wuchen was poisoned by a demon, and it was Mu Shen who framed him! I beg Your Majesty to do justice for my son."
"Wuchen? Wasn't the truth of this matter already revealed back then? Besides, Wuchen passed away five years ago." Emperor Sikong said unhappily.
"Back then, after Wuchen was poisoned by the demon, he still had a glimmer of hope. It was Mu Shen who poisoned Wuchen!" Jun Tianlan gritted his teeth in hatred when he thought of what happened back then.
"Wuchen is gone, and there's no way to verify the truth. I investigated this matter thoroughly back then, but five years have passed, and some things..."
“Who said my second uncle is dead?” Jun Liuyue said.
These words were spoken.
Emperor Sikong was initially taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Ning pushed the wheelchair in, and there was a person sitting in the wheelchair, except... he was wearing a cloak.
"Wuchen greets Your Majesty." Jun Wuchen lifted his cloak.
A thin, pale face was exposed to the air, even though five years had passed.
Jun Wuchen's appearance remained unchanged, except that he had become much thinner, his features were more defined, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked extremely haggard.
"Nothing, nothing at all..."
Even the seemingly composed Emperor Sikong was startled and stood up, stepping forward. "Wuchen, is it really you? You... are not dead?"
"My dear Jun, what exactly is going on?" Emperor Sikong looked at Jun Tianlan. "Wuchen is not dead, so why is he being buried? Do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"If Your Majesty wishes to punish me, I am willing to bear all the consequences. However, I had no choice but to do it back then! If Wuchen had not faked his death, he would probably have been killed by Mu Shen long ago!"
Back then, the successive deaths of the two sons of the Jun family dealt a significant blow to the family.
Jun Tianlan also fell seriously ill and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure: to have Jun Wuchen fake his death and confuse the situation.
Of course, Jun Tianlan also knew that Mu Shen wouldn't dare to be so bold on his own; there must be someone backing him up.
That person...
Jun Tianlan looked up and glanced at Emperor Sikong.
"My dear Jun, you flatter me. How could I possibly punish you? I'm overjoyed that Wuchen is still alive." Meeting Jun Tianlan's gaze, Emperor Sikong felt a pang of guilt, but quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Mu Shen and said, "Mu Shen, how dare you! You even dare to harm my loyal ministers! Have you eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard?!"
"Your Majesty, please do justice for my son! Mu Shen has already confessed to all his crimes. The reason my son was trapped among the demon beasts was also due to his scheme!" Jun Tianlan knelt on the ground; "Your Majesty, please give our Jun family justice!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Mu Shen begged for mercy as the eunuch removed the smelly sock from his mouth.
He knew there was no turning back, but wasn't His Majesty's tacit approval for him to do this?
Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Sikong stopped him, "Mu Shen, how dare you! To plot against a loyal minister! I have entrusted you with important responsibilities all along, and you have truly disappointed me! Guards, take Mu Shen to the Imperial Clan Court."
"His Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Tianlan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
The fact that he was taken to the Imperial Clan Court instead of being executed on the spot indicates that the Emperor wanted to protect Mu Shen.
"My dear minister, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory result in this matter," Emperor Sikong comforted him. "I will not let Wuchen suffer so many years of injustice for nothing."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jun Tianlan was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do.
"Since Wuchen is not dead, I will order his reinstatement."
"Your Majesty, my legs are crippled and my cultivation is completely gone. I only wish to stay in the Jun residence for the rest of my life and spend time with my father," Jun Wuchen said. "I hope Your Majesty can grant my request."
"In that case, I grant your permission."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Jun Wuchen expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jun Tianlan clenched his fists. It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed. He had given everything for the Tianyan royal family over the years, but in the end, he couldn't withstand the words of a treacherous minister.
On the way back to the Jun residence.
"Moon, I really didn't expect that even now, His Majesty would still favor the Mu family." Jun Tianlan sighed.
"Didn't Grandpa already know? What was the reason?"
Jun Liuyue leaned back in her chair. "Turbulent times need generals, but prosperous times don't. Once the birds are all gone, the bow is put away; once the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked."
“Yes.” Jun Tianlan sighed, “But at least your second uncle doesn’t have to hide it anymore.”
Jun Wuchen can finally appear in the sunlight.
"I'm getting old."
