Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Duke Zheng was speechless.

The ministers finally recovered from the sudden shock, and each of them still had a look of panic on their faces.

They all said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we must not let the assassin off lightly this time! We were all on the brink of death just now!"

Everyone was indignant, especially Duke Zheng, who was thinking to himself: This is a serious crime of treason, how can it be so easily defined as just disrupting the order of the court?

He didn't know why, but he always felt that this matter was related to Prince Jin.

He is so bold that he dared to openly assassinate the current emperor. The emperor must immediately find out the real culprit behind the scenes before he will stop!

The emperor must be worried that if there is any delay, the assassin might be killed secretly, and then the case will have no way to be investigated!

Emperor Rong Sheng was furious at this moment. He stared at the captured assassin and asked sternly, "Tell me! Who ordered you to assassinate me?"

He couldn't wait to pry the truth out of the assassin.

Since the female members had not received the emperor's order, they could only stand there trembling in fear, not daring to act on their own.

After all, how could these pampered women have ever experienced such a thrilling scene?

For a moment, they all turned pale and pale as paper, and some even had weak legs and could hardly stand.

Lin Muheng knew very well that there would probably be even more cruel and bloody interrogation scenes to come.

So, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Rong Sheng and said, "Father! I think it is not appropriate for the women to continue to watch this scene. Why not let them return to their respective residences first? To prevent them from being too frightened."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Rong Sheng glanced coldly at everyone present, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, except for Concubine Zheng, the other concubines and all the female relatives can leave immediately."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned, and then hurriedly left the hall under the guidance of the palace maids and eunuchs.

The ministers were very worried, fearing that their families would faint after witnessing such a bloody scene. If this angered the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous.

Concubine Jing glanced at the emperor with worry in her heart. In fact, deep down in her heart, she wanted very much to stay by the emperor's side, but when she thought about the Ninth Prince who still needed her care, she finally retreated slowly and respectfully.

For some reason, Concubine Jing always had a strange feeling, as if the emperor was holding back his breath and struggling to hold on.

Faced with Emperor Rong Sheng's stern questioning, the assassin seemed indifferent as if he had heard nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Muheng was furious. He kicked the assassin fiercely and shouted, "Tell me! Who sent you to assassinate my father?"

This kick contained all of his strength. With a dull "bang" sound, the assassin fell backwards as if he had been hit hard.

"Puff!" The assassin suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, which splashed on the ground to form a shocking scarlet color.

However, even after suffering such a severe blow, the assassin still gritted his teeth, showing an attitude of refusing to surrender even in death and not fearing boiling water.

"Speak!" Emperor Rong Sheng could no longer suppress his anger and roared, "Come here! Drag this villain out and give him the death penalty. Cut him into pieces with a thousand knives to vent my hatred!"

Upon hearing the words "lingchi execution", the assassin who had been pretending to be calm finally showed fear and began to tremble uncontrollably all over.

Before this, he thought that as long as he gritted his teeth and refused to tell the truth, the worst that could happen to him would be his death.

No one expected that the emperor would be so cruel and determined as to use the inhumane torture of lingchi on him.

"Are you scared now? Humph! If you don't tell the truth, I will not only torture you to death, but also bring out your entire family and make them share in this pain worse than death!" Emperor Rong Sheng threatened viciously with a ferocious face.

When the assassin heard this, he felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly approached with his hands and feet, rolling and crawling, and kept shouting: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am willing to confess everything and will not hide a single thing!"

At this moment, Prince Jin, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

I saw his body trembling slightly and cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

At this moment, Lin Mushen's eyes suddenly widened, his hair stood on end with rage, and he shouted, "You shameless thief, today is the day you die!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the assassin like a ferocious beast.

However, Lin Muheng reacted extremely quickly. He flashed in front of Lin Mushen in an instant and grabbed Lin Mushen's arms with his backhand in the blink of an eye.

Lin Mushen, who was restrained, was immediately furious and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let me go! I will tear this thief into pieces. He actually dared to try to assassinate my father. How can such a traitor be allowed to live!"

Facing Lin Mushen's roar, Lin Muheng had a cold expression on his face, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Are you trying to kill someone to silence him?"

"Stop talking nonsense here!" Lin Mushen shouted angrily.

"Kneel down for me!" Emperor Rong Sheng roared in anger.

This sudden rebuke was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears, and everyone present was silent.

"Father, calm down! I just wanted to kill this beast myself..." Lin Mushen tried to explain, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Rong Sheng, "Whether he wanted to kill and silence him, I will make my own judgment."

Duke Zheng, who had been standing aside and witnessed the whole process, was already shaking with anger, cursing in his heart.

He really couldn't understand how someone as smart as Concubine Zheng could give birth to such a stupid son!

Isn't it the same as announcing to the world that you are the mastermind behind all this to act so impulsively?
