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

"Duke Zheng, since you have resolutely chosen to stand against me, why should I care about your life or death! You know everything I have done. But now, you pretend to be completely ignorant. Do you think you can save the Duke's Mansion just by doing this? You are totally wrong! As long as you are my uncle, the Duke's Mansion will never be able to get out of this matter. If I fail this time and you try to keep yourself out of it, it only means that you think the emperor is too kind!" Lin Mushen's tone was cold, with undisguised sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Duke Zheng's face was filled with astonishment, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you don't talk nonsense! I had no idea that you poisoned the emperor. In order to clear you of any connection, I even risked my life and sent people to jailbreak the Taoist..." Before he could finish his words, he heard a burst of boos from the crowd.

"What is going on? Could it be that the emperor was really poisoned? And the person who did it is actually the emperor's own son?" Someone asked in a low voice with a look of suspicion on his face.

Duke Zheng was determined to distance himself from the matter, but he never expected that his hasty words of defence would instead seem like an admission of guilt, and he had dug a big hole for himself to fall into.

At this time, Emperor Rongsheng's face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at Duke Zheng with a sharp gaze, and said coldly: "Okay, very good! Then continue to talk about it. How many unspeakable things have you guys planned behind my back to kill me?"

Facing the emperor's wrath, Duke Zheng could no longer hold on. He fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed and begged, "Your Majesty, please understand! I really don't know what he did. Please spare my life."

Emperor Rong Sheng waved his hands wearily, as if even speaking required a lot of effort. He really didn't want to waste any more words with Duke Zheng, and just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

"Take Lin Mushen away for me!" Emperor Rong Sheng held on and roared angrily.

However, before he could finish his words, a group of fully armed soldiers holding swords rushed in like a tide.

Each of them had a ferocious face and stared at Emperor Rong Sheng fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Emperor Rong Sheng looked around at this time and found that except for the loyal Lin Muheng and Jiang He, he could no longer order anyone around him.

Seeing this, Lin Mushen burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed throughout the entire palace, sounding particularly harsh.

"Father! Do you think that since I dare to stand here today, I have not made all the necessary preparations?" He said with a smile on his face.

Emperor Rong Sheng widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Rebellious son! Why don't you stop now and don't make the same mistake again!"

However, the deep disappointment in his eyes was just a pretense in Lin Mushen's view.

Lin Mushen was not afraid at all. Instead, he shouted even more arrogantly: "Father, today is the day you abdicate and let the throne be passed to others! As long as you hand over the imperial seal and write an edict to pass the throne to your son, then your son will naturally show leniency and forgive all the ministers present. Otherwise... hehe!" At the end, his tone was full of threats.

Emperor Rong Sheng was furious, his whole body trembling. He pointed at Lin Mushen and cursed, "You are a rebellious and unfilial son! You are so treacherous and cunning, and you are using any means to seize the throne. It is simply unjust and unreasonable! Don't you care at all about the curses and condemnations of the people of the world?"

Lin Mushen, however, showed disdain on his face and responded arrogantly: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as I succeed in ascending the throne, the whole world will be dominated by me. Whoever dares to make unwarranted criticisms and gossips, I will just pull out his tongue and see who dares to say more!"

He looked so arrogant and domineering, as if he had become a real emperor at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Rong Sheng became so angry that his face turned blue.

Lin Muheng could no longer bear to watch, he roared: "What an ignorant evildoer! From ancient times to the present, traitors will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, despised by thousands of people, and left with eternal infamy. Today, I will make sure that you are ruined and infamous for eternity!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Muheng's eyes were spitting fire, and he pounced straight towards Lin Mushen like an angry lion.

Seeing this, Lin Mushen was terrified and shouted loudly: "Kill him for me!"

However, what he never expected was that before he could finish his words, the group of soldiers who had just obeyed his orders and looked ferocious suddenly turned their swords and pointed them at him.

"You...what are you going to do? Kill Lin Muheng right away!"

Lin Mushen's voice trembled, and he was panicked because these soldiers were originally his trusted men!

But at this moment, this group of soldiers had expressionless faces, cold and fierce eyes, staring at Lin Mushen like hungry wolves, as if ready to eat him alive at any time.

At this moment, Lin Mushen's heart was finally overwhelmed by panic.

His eyes widened, his mind frantically trying to figure out what went wrong.

Why did things develop to this point? He couldn't understand the situation at all.

Lin Muheng's face was as gloomy as water, and there was a hint of determination and coldness in his eyes.

He swung out his palm violently, and the palm wind was extremely sharp, attacking Lin Mushen directly.

Lin Mushen had no time to dodge and was instantly knocked away by the powerful force, falling heavily to the ground.

Lin Mushen raised his head with difficulty, looking over the layers of soldiers, and was shocked to find that the outer circle was actually surrounded by a dense, black mass of Imperial Guards.

He was shocked and thought to himself, "What on earth is going on? I have clearly sent people to knock these people out with drugs, but why are they safe and sound now?"

At this time, Concubine Zheng on the side was already stunned.

She looked at the scene in disbelief. Her son's carefully planned rebellion failed so easily.

It didn't even have a beginning, but it had already come to an end.

This sudden change left her at a loss.

After coming to her senses, Concubine Zheng immediately threw herself in front of Emperor Rong Sheng and begged with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty! Please forgive Shen Er. He already knows he was wrong and will never make the same mistake again."

Before she finished her words, she desperately reached out to hug Rong Shengdi's thighs.

However, Emperor Rong Sheng had no mercy at all. He quickly raised his leg and kicked Concubine Zheng in the chest without mercy.

There was only a muffled sound, and Concubine Zheng flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground. She spurted out a large mouthful of blood, staining the ground beneath her red.

Duke Zheng, who was not far away, witnessed all this and closed his eyes in despair.

He knew very well that the Duke's Mansion was completely ruined. All the hope and glory were gone at this moment.

Duke Zheng slumped on the ground.
