As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned as if they were struck by lightning.

The once majestic King Jin, oh no, now he has been demoted to a commoner, he actually dares to speak so arrogantly, he is simply courting his own death!

Did he really think that he had lived too long?

As expected, Emperor Rong Sheng roared in anger: "Come here! Drag this villain away quickly and behead him immediately!"

At this moment, an extremely sharp arrow shot straight towards Emperor Rong Sheng like lightning.

In a flash, Jiang He leaped forward without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Be careful!"

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind - to protect the emperor at all costs and never let the emperor encounter any danger.

Emperor Rong Sheng stared at the rapidly approaching arrow and tried to dodge, but found that his body was completely out of control, as if he had lost control.

It's not that he doesn't want to avoid it, it's just that he wants to but doesn't have the ability to do so.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Jiang He was quick to pull the emperor to the side, and the fatal arrow finally whizzed past Emperor Rong Sheng's ear.

Seeing this, Lin Muheng rushed towards the direction where the arrow came from without saying a word.

However, he had just run a mere ten feet when he suddenly saw a large group of people rushing in from the front.

These people were all wearing uniform clothes and their movements were uniform and orderly. They were obviously elite soldiers who had undergone rigorous training.

Lin Mushen stood up straight and steadily, staring coldly at Emperor Rong Sheng, and said sinisterly: "Father! In your mind, you have always believed that it is difficult for a son to take on such a great responsibility. Well, today I will let you see who is qualified to be the future monarch of our Daqing Dynasty between me and Prince Yu!"

After he finished speaking, his originally handsome face was instantly covered with a creepy and cold smile.

Seeing this, Concubine Zheng slowly stood up with a serious expression.

At this moment, the situation has developed to a critical juncture of life and death.

She knew that it was pointless to continue pretending to be weak.

However, what disappointed Lin Mushen was that despite the extremely tense atmosphere, Emperor Rong Sheng's face remained as calm as a pool of still water.

He fully expected to catch a glimpse of fear on Emperor Rong Sheng's majestic face, but unfortunately he failed to do so in the end.

The ministers present witnessed this tense scene and looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.

I thought to myself: Could it be that the Daqing Dynasty is really about to usher in a time of great change?

Just as everyone was panicking, the Minister of War, Lord Song, stepped forward, his eyes wide open, and sternly shouted, "Bold Lin Mushen! Your actions are clearly an act of treason!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushen threw his head back and burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the palace and sounded particularly harsh.

After laughing, he glanced at the people around him with a look full of provocation and contempt, and then said coldly: "Sir Song, in a moment, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to shout! Have you noticed that all the guards in front of the emperor today have disappeared without a trace? Humph, all of you just wait to die here!" After that, he burst into another creepy laugh.

When Lord Song heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and he quickly turned around to look around.

Sure enough, just as Lin Mushen said, none of the guards who were supposed to guard the emperor showed up at this moment.

An ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, and Lord Song could not help but shout, "Lin Mushen! What did you do to them? Tell the truth now!"

"Hahaha, you are their immediate superior, yet you know nothing about this! Even if this dog emperor doesn't punish you now, the first thing I will do after I successfully ascend the throne is to dismiss you and investigate you. A stupid and incompetent person like you is not worthy of occupying such an important position as the Minister of War!" Lin Mushen shouted arrogantly, as if he was about to ascend the throne at this moment.

"Haha! You are about to die, yet you still dare to speak nonsense like that. You really don't know how to live or die!" Jiang He sneered with disdain on his face.

Facing Jiang He's ridicule, Lin Mushen seemed unconcerned, and even raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile.

He thought to himself: These guys are complete idiots! They can't even tell the obvious outcome.

However, once people are in a state of complacency, they tend to lose their due judgment and calm thinking ability.

At this time, Lin Mushen did not notice that Emperor Rong Sheng had a confident and strategic look on his face.

Duke Zheng stood silently by the side without saying a word, but he had his own plans in mind.

If Lin Mushen could successfully achieve his goal today, he would naturally be willing to help, after all, they were related. At this moment, Duke Zheng's sharp eyes never left the emperor, as if he wanted to see every move of the emperor.

On the other side, Lin Mushen had fallen into madness and confusion and had completely lost his judgment.

However, in the midst of this chaos, Duke Zheng still kept a clear head.

All of a sudden, Duke Zheng shouted at the top of his voice: "Lin Mushen, why don't you surrender quickly!"

This sudden shout made Lin Mushen, who was originally a little crazy, stunned.

He looked at his own uncle in disbelief. He could never have imagined that this person who had always been regarded as his closest relative would stand against him at the critical moment.

For a moment, all kinds of emotions such as anger, disappointment, and confusion surged into Lin Mushen's heart, making his face extremely ugly.

"Uncle! Are you blind? Look around, my people are everywhere! You actually chose to stand on the side of that dog emperor. You are my uncle! Do you really think he will treat you well?" Lin Mushen asked angrily, his voice full of unwillingness and resentment.

Concubine Zheng's face was filled with deep disappointment. She bit her lips tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, are you going to abandon us mother and son too?" Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any time.

Duke Zheng's eyes had turned red, as if they were burned by anger and helplessness.

He looked directly at Concubine Zheng, and said in a heavy and urgent tone: "Sister, listen to your brother's advice, and stop it immediately! The emperor may think of our old friendship and give you a lighter sentence. Don't be so stubborn any longer, it's not too late to stop now!"

"Oh, it's not too late! The emperor is going to execute my mother and me, do we have any way out? But, I didn't expect that my brother is such a coward."

Duke Zheng was not angry even though he was scolded by his sister.

At this moment, Duke Zheng was extremely certain that the emperor must have a backup plan.

Faced with such a situation, he knew that he had no choice but to stand firmly on the side of the emperor.

Because he must save the lives of hundreds of people in Duke Zheng's mansion, which is a matter of life and death for the entire family.

He hoped that the emperor would be able to see his earnest intentions in persuading Lin Mushen today, and would show mercy and forgive the crimes of everyone in the Duke's Mansion.

"Lin Mushen, do you know that if you do this, you will implicate the Duke's Mansion?"

Emperor Rong Sheng hoped that he still had some conscience.

However, Lin Mushen’s next words disappointed him greatly.
