Blood gushed out from the throat of the King of Northern Zhou. His old face was full of disbelief. He seemed to want to see his wound, but when he lowered his head, he only saw blood dripping.

He made two "uh uh..." sounds but couldn't say anything. He fell heavily to the ground with a loud "bang".

When the King of Northern Zhou died, his eyes were open.

The eldest prince still held the blood-stained dagger in his hand, unable to come back to his senses. As the future heir to the throne, he had never thought of killing his father or the king. Just now, he just wanted to hold the King of Northern Zhou hostage and control the situation, and had never thought of killing his own father.

However, it was the dagger in his hand that cut the throat of the King of Northern Zhou. It was he who watched the King of Northern Zhou fall before his eyes, dead.

The eldest prince's hand holding the dagger was shaking, and there was great fear in his eyes.

"First Prince, you killed your father and your king!" Zhou Mochi's cold voice sounded behind him, causing the First Prince's body to tremble violently.

"I didn't kill my father or my king. Someone bumped into me just now..." At this point, the eldest prince seemed to have thought of something. His sharp eyes stared at Zhou Mochi's face: "You bumped into me. You are the one who wanted to kill my father and my king!"

Zhou Mochi said: "Look at the distance between you and me, Prince. Can I bump into you from such a distance?"

The eldest prince frowned. He began to doubt whether the collision he had just experienced was just an illusion. Zhou Mochi was indeed not close to him, and those two secret guards were his father's men. It was impossible for them to use him to kill his father.

However, the eldest prince did not dwell on it too much. He quickly came to his senses and looked around the hall. He found that there were only the old eunuch, Zhou Mochi, and two secret guards nearby.

Further away were a few eunuchs and palace maids.

Outside the bedroom, all of them were his people.

Even if he killed his father, so what? As long as he dealt with all the people in front of him, he could put the blame of his father's death on Zhou Mochi, and he could still inherit the throne smoothly!

"boom!"

The loud noise interrupted the eldest prince's thoughts. He turned his head and saw that the door to the bedroom was knocked open.

Outside the hall, a group of courtiers came, and behind them were a large number of soldiers. The person standing in the front of the courtiers was Lou Kuan!

The eldest prince's pupils shrank dramatically, and before he could react, Lou Kuan strode in with his ministers.

"First Prince, you are so treasonous that you killed your father and your emperor!" Lou Kuan said angrily, his whole body shaking with anger.

The ministers behind him looked at the scene in front of them, some were stunned, some were furious, some were incredulous!

Lou Kuan said, "Grand Prince, why are you doing this? You have been the Grand Prince since birth, and the future heir of the Great Zhou. The King has worked hard to train you, and you actually killed your father and the King. Are you worthy of the King and the ancestors of the Great Zhou?"

The eldest prince immediately threw the dagger away: "I didn't, I didn't kill my father! It was Zhou Mochi, he was driven out of the palace seven years ago, and today he came to seek revenge! He killed my father and put the blame on me!"

If he could get rid of the people in the palace before and push the blame of his father's death onto Zhou Mochen, then now that all the ministers have seen him holding a bloody dagger, can he kill all the court officials?

Zhou Mochi walked out from behind him and said, "I, Zhou Mochi, have been away from home for seven years. My mother has passed away, and my uncle's family is nowhere to be found. May I ask how I could have killed my father and put the blame on the eldest prince? Everyone has seen that now, all the people outside my father's palace are the eldest prince's men!"

The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes, those outside were all the eldest prince's men, which showed that the eldest prince's words were not credible at all.

Zhou Mochi continued, "They were both guards who secretly protected my father. They saw with their own eyes that it was the dagger in the eldest prince's hand that cut my father's throat!

"Do you know why the eldest prince did this? It was because seven years ago, the little princess born to Concubine Li was actually the eldest prince and Concubine Li's biological daughter. When the father knew about this, he wanted to hold him accountable. The eldest prince was terrified, so he killed his father and the king to cover up his crime seven years ago!"

The court officials were in an uproar!

Zhou Mochi said: "I risked my life to go home today just to expose the true face of the eldest prince and clear my mother's grievances. It was the eldest prince who joined forces with Concubine Li to strangle the little princess to death, not my mother. But I never thought that the eldest prince would be so cruel as to kill his father and the king!

"How can such a heartless person be the ruler of a country? If the Great Zhou is handed over to him, our Great Zhou will be destroyed sooner or later!"

Zhou Mochi walked up to one of the guards, held the guard's hand, raised the long sword in his hand high, and said sharply: "As the fifth prince of the Great Week, I ask you gentlemen to follow me, clear the court and capture the eldest prince!"

At this point, is there anything the eldest prince doesn’t understand?

It was Zhou Mochi who set him up, making him the murderer of his father, and then letting the ministers see it all...

"You framed me! You planned it all along. You framed me! I'm going to kill you!" The eldest prince went crazy and rushed towards Zhou Mochi with a dagger in his hand.

Zhou Mochi snatched the long sword from the guard's hand and said while blocking it: "The eldest prince is so unreasonable. Did I ask you to go against my father with a dagger in your hand? Did I ask you to arrange your own guards to surround my father's bedroom? I am a prince who has been wandering outside for seven years, and my mother is carrying a bad reputation. How can I mobilize so many people!"

The eldest prince's eyes were bloodshot and his anger was rising to his head. He was sure that he had fallen into Zhou Mochi's trap and wanted to kill Zhou Mochi as soon as possible!

Therefore, he attacked fiercely and his moves were ruthless.

However, Zhou Mochen's martial arts skills were not inferior to his, and he was even more agile than him. The eldest prince could not defeat him at all.

Lou Kuan even shouted at this time: "Grand Prince, surrender. You and your guards outside the palace have been completely surrounded. You can't escape."

What? The eldest prince was shocked. Zhou Mochi knocked down his dagger with one sword. Two secret guards from the palace rushed up. Three of them were against one of them. In just a cup of tea, the eldest prince was captured!

He knelt on the ground, Zhou Mochen held a long sword against his neck. He looked up and saw Zhou Mochen looking down at him.

"Crown Prince, the grudge between us should have been settled seven years ago! You should repay what you owe to my mother, my brothers and sisters, my uncle's family, and even my father's life!" Zhou Mochi's eyes were cold and icy.

The eldest prince had wounds all over his body, his hair was disheveled, and he stared at Zhou Mochi with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from him.

"You despicable villain, my second brother will not let you go!"

Zhou Mochi slowly leaned over, put his head close to his ear, and said in a cold voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you die, Zhou Hanchi will become a dog under my command. He will hit wherever I tell him to hit."

"You dare to kill me?!"

"What else? Do you think I'm playing house with you?" Zhou Mochen said, and then he slashed the eldest prince's neck with his sword.

Before the eldest prince died, he whispered in his ear, "By the way, I was the one who bumped into you just now."
