Half a month later, in the capital.
He Shuhong! Xu Jiao'er! Mu Anwen! Together with the petition from the people, impeach the Fourth Prince Mu Anjin for colluding with court officials, buying and selling official positions, assassinating his elder brother, mistreating his wife, and humiliating the people.
In total, there are more than thirty charges.
In the imperial court, Mu Anjin looked at He Shuhong with such hatred that he wished he could devour him whole, and he cursed him incessantly.
The emperor wanted to embrace him, but the people's hearts were with him, and he was powerless to do so.
With bloodshot eyes, Mu Anjin, who was being held captive by the Imperial Guards, looked at He Shuhong and said, "Lord He? Hahahaha, the world has been fooled by you. They all think that you insulted Mu Ange because you hate him to death. But who knows that you, Lord He, are the most loyal dog by his side!"
After saying that, he looked at Xu Jiao'er, whose face was pale and whose body was covered in wounds: "And you, you bitch, how dare you deceive me! You have been pretending to be submissive all along, while secretly collecting evidence of my crimes! You bitch, you will die a horrible death!"
Xu Jiao'er gave a cold smile: "Your Highness, the one who will suffer a terrible death now is you."
Soon, Mu Anjin was imprisoned.
Later.
Mu Ange returned with Anning, and they broke into the palace at night, then held a dagger to the emperor's neck.
The emperor was suddenly awakened from his sleep, only to find three people standing beside his bed.
Mu Ange, Meng Yun, and that already dead eunuch—she was dressed as a woman, in a red dress, like a female ghost coming to claim lives.
The emperor exclaimed in surprise.
The dagger pierced the skin, drawing some blood.
The emperor looked at the three of them, who were staring at him so intently.
What do you want to do?
Meng Yun said coldly, "Give Father justice and give Sister an explanation!"
Mu Ange pried open his mouth and stuffed a pill into it.
"This is poison, but the antidote is in my possession."
The emperor looked at him in utter terror: "What do you want to do?"
Mu Ange said, "You must do whatever I want you to do, or you will face certain death."
The emperor nodded: "Very good, very good."
As he spoke, he looked around.
Mu Ange replied, "Father, rest assured, I have killed all your secret guards, and the entire imperial city is under my control."
The emperor looked at him, his face ashen.
The next morning, at the morning court session.
Mu Ange's appearance surprised everyone. The Third Prince was not dead. He even proposed to re-examine the case of General Meng's treason. More importantly, the Emperor actually agreed.
The case was resolved in less than half a month. General Meng was exonerated and his name was restored. He was also posthumously awarded the title of General of the Cavalry.
Mu Ange was exceptionally intelligent and was made crown prince.
That night.
Inside the Yangju Hall.
Mu Ange handed the dagger in her hand to Sister Yun.
"Auntie, do what you want to do."
Holding the dagger, Meng Yun looked at the terrified emperor on the bed and said with a cold laugh, "How you killed my sister, that's how I'll kill you."
With a soft thud, the dagger pierced the emperor's heart and lungs, and he quickly lost his breath.
Soon, news of the emperor's death spread throughout the court and the country. It was said that Mu Anjin harbored resentment towards the emperor and hired assassins to kill him. Therefore, he was also executed by the Crown Prince.
At this point, under the leadership of Lord He, everyone in the imperial court earnestly requested that Crown Prince Mu Ange inherit the throne and become the new emperor.
Mu Ange, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne.
