The people of Cang'ao Kingdom never imagined that the prince who was sent to Fengli Kingdom by them since childhood would come back.
Moreover, his methods were ruthless. He was not afraid to bear the infamy and was willing to kill his father and brother. Almost all the members of the Ye royal family were killed by him.
The ministers knelt in the hall in fear, fearing that his blade would be pointed at them.
"Greetings to our Emperor! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Ye Huaiqing looked at these sweet-talking old guys and was not in a hurry to kill them. If they were so sensible, he could spare their lives.
"Get up. I have always been kind and will not kill you all just because you are my old subjects."
The ministers complained wildly in their hearts, bah, if you are kind-hearted, then we are the saviors.
But he still didn't show it on his face. He was tired of living. If he dared to show it, he would never be able to leave the hall alive.
In Beichen Kingdom, Xie Shuchen had just dealt with the civil strife and ascended the throne when he received the news that Feng Li and Cang Ao had changed their masters.
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that we received news that unidentified people have invaded the border of Beichen State.
Moreover, they came with great force and had already captured two cities in Beichen Kingdom.
Xie Shuchen had no choice but to lead his troops to fight in person.
Fortunately, he has the Shen Ce Army, so he is not afraid of not being able to drive them away.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Aunt Wan was kneeling beside her son's body and crying loudly.
"Son! Who was the wicked person who killed you? You're so young, and you're gone. How can I live?"
Prime Minister Wen lost his beloved son and felt as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
At this time, the eldest son Wenxuan, acting like a good younger brother, was busy arranging his brother's funeral affairs.
"Father, we are all very sad that my eldest brother is gone. The only thing we can do now is to let him go with dignity. I will do my best to find the murderer who killed him and avenge him."
When Aunt Wan heard what he said, she immediately collapsed and rushed towards him like a madman.
"Second Young Master, why are you being so hypocritical here? If you truly want to avenge my son, then commit suicide in front of him. My son is usually honest and kind, and has never had any grudges against anyone. If there is anyone most likely to harm him, it is you."
Wenxuan still looked good-tempered, but his voice was a little sad.
"Aunt, I know you are very sad, I won't bother with you."
"Father, I'm going back to my room to tidy up my appearance. I'll come back later."
The moment he turned around, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
So what if I killed him? He deserved to die, a bastard who couldn't tell his own status from his own position. Did he think that just because he was favored by his father, everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion should belong to him?
Wen Mengyan is now the Imperial Noble Consort. Upon hearing the news of her brother's death, she was so angry that she rushed to the Queen's palace.
"Wen Mengyin, you shameless bitch! My father loves my mother. If you have the guts, just let her fight for him. Why are you harming my brother? You and your two children are all murderers...!"
Wen Mengyin's face turned ashen.
"What are you crazy about? What evidence do you have?"
Wen Mengyan sneered.
"What more evidence do you need? Besides you three, mother and son, who else would harm my brother? You bitch, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the queen. When His Majesty returns, I'll have him depose you."
The two sisters immediately started fighting.
Wen Mengdie lay on the roof and gently inserted a silver needle into Wen Mengyin's head.
Wen Mengyin died on the spot.
He fell to the ground with a bang, which scared Wen Mengyan.
He reached out and checked her breath.
“Ah…! It’s none of my business…!”
The Prime Minister's Mansion had just lost a son, and then received the news of his daughter's death, and the family was immediately in chaos.
The Prime Minister's wife clamored to go into the palace and kill that little bitch Wen Mengyan.
Aunt Wan tried her best to stop them, saying that there was no evidence and her daughter could not be wrongly accused.
Seeing that their lives were in chaos, Wen Mengdie probably had a hard time, so she took her son and maid and left the imperial city.
In Longcheng, Beichen Kingdom, General Mu and his entire family were imprisoned in a prison.
General Mu burst into tears.
"I am useless! I am ashamed of your majesty's grace and cannot even defend our territory...!"
"Your Majesty, my father, died a long time ago, at the hands of his own son. Why should you grieve for him? Besides, the land of Beichen is not yours. So what if you are a general? At this critical moment, the court has not sent any food or fodder. The soldiers fought on an empty stomach, and losing the city was inevitable."
"Son, tell me, this Beichen kingdom will eventually fall. The Xie royal family is indifferent to the suffering of the people and only knows how to fight for power and pursue pleasure. For that position, everyone fights to the death. You don't need to worry about not being able to defend the city anymore."
General Mu glared at his son with disappointment.
"Beichen is dead. Do you think you, as the Major General of Beichen, can still survive? Not only you, but our whole family will die here."
The Mu family has tried their best to defend the territory, but his son is right. At the critical moment, they can't provide enough food and supplies, and they are powerless.
But his son and daughter are still so young, they haven't married yet, and haven't had children. Mu Feng is not a pedantic person, and he doesn't have the idea of living and dying with his family and country.
He just wanted his two children to live in peace, but he was afraid that it would be impossible to achieve.
Mrs. Mu and Mu Xue were imprisoned in the cell next door and could only lie on the wall to talk to their family.
"Dad, I heard that Emperor Sheng was once a hostage in Fengli Kingdom. Is this true?"
Mu Feng told them all the news he knew.
"Well, I heard that when Emperor Sheng arrived in Fengli Kingdom, he was thrown into the cold palace to fend for himself. Later, everyone thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, it was another son of Emperor Fengli who died. He was not favored and was thrown into the cold palace. Emperor Sheng took the identity of that prince so that he could grow up safely."
