There was silence in the grand hall.

Qin Wuji just lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, as if enduring something.

The ministers looked at each other, completely unaware of what was happening.

"You, a worthless dog, dare to oppose His Majesty?" Hong Luan looked at Qin Wuji with disgust in her eyes.

"I..." Qin Wuji's facial muscles twisted crazily, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Reason told him that he had to stand up now, otherwise the authority he had just established would all be gone.

But the long-standing habit prevented him from resisting the instinctive reaction of his body.

Qin Wuji's eyes turned red, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

Hong Luan glanced at him coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Then she turned to Qin Mu, and the coldness in her eyes instantly melted away, replaced by deep attachment and reverence. Her demeanor was completely different from the queen-like dominance she had just displayed.

"Your Majesty."

She knelt down deeply, her weak body prostrating on the ground.

"I am incompetent, unable to punish Qin Wuji. I hope Your Majesty will punish him!"

She lowered her head, kneeling on the ground, her attitude as respectful as the most loyal servant.

The grand hall remained silent, all the ministers silent.

This scene was simply too strange.

"It's not your fault."

Qin Mu said lightly, then looked at Qin Wuji at the lower end, a playful smile on his face, a mocking tone in his voice.

"Qin Wuji, you really impress me. The mighty Great Qin Unfettered King, actually rushing to become a dog for Ash Moon Empress, only to be ignored. Not only do you have a Deathless heart, but you also find several substitutes for Ash Moon Empress."

"You have truly disgraced the name of Great Qin!"

As Qin Mu's words reached the end, his voice turned cold, filled with a strong killing intent.

Qin Wuji heard this and suddenly raised his head. His pupils contracted violently, his face flickering with anger, humiliation, and other emotions. He stared at Qin Mu fiercely.

His fists clenched, his body trembling, his eyes crimson as he roared:

"Qin Mu, shut up! Who do you think you are!"

"You've never seen Ash Moon Empress, so how do you know she's perfect!"

"I'm willing to give everything for her! Even if I become a dog by her side, it would still be my honor!"

Qin Wuji had reached his breaking point, shouting with all his might.

His roar echoed throughout the entire palace, every minister hearing it clearly.

The ministers' hearts contracted violently, a sense of shock filling the air.

The Unfettered King actually had such deep feelings for Ash Moon Empress? He could even say such things out loud!?

Combined with everything that had just happened, the ministers gradually understood.

So the woman in the red dress was a substitute for Ash Moon Empress, which was why the Unfettered King acted this way.

The ministers' gaze fell on Qin Wuji, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Although they understood the reason behind it, they still couldn't comprehend it, because it was simply too absurd...

The mighty Unfettered King, willing to become a dog out of love for a woman, and after being rejected, seeking substitutes to satisfy himself...

This was simply beyond their imagination!

The ministers' eyes were filled with a strange look.

Qin Wuji also noticed the ministers' gaze. He was first stunned, then angrily roared:

"What are you looking at! Don't you dare defy me?"

The ministers remained silent, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Then Qin Wuji slowly stood up, his face as dark as water.

He looked at Qin Mu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes full of resentment.

At this point, continuing to pretend was meaningless.

It was time to lay all the cards on the table!

Although it was a bit rushed, he had long been planning and there was no room for error!

Thinking of this, Qin Wuji suddenly burst into laughter:

"Qin Mu, I admit I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have some brains, but..."

He changed his weak and feeble posture, straightened his back, and his eyes were full of mockery:

"It's too late now. The situation is already against you. I advise you to obediently give up the throne. Perhaps I can spare your life!"

After Qin Wuji finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

The ministers had different expressions, their thoughts in chaos, thinking that things were not looking good.

Qin Mu remained calm, looked at him for a while, chuckled lightly, and said slowly, "Oh? Are you sure?"

Qin Wuji's eyes turned cold, about to say something.

But then, Hong Luan scolded, "Who told you to stand up?"

Qin Wuji froze, instinctively returning to his original position.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions became extremely interesting.

One second they were domineering, the next second they were as humble as dogs...

Was this Unfettered King here to make jokes?

The ministers were dumbfounded, completely speechless.

Qin Wuji's cheeks burned, and his actions just now were so skilled that it brought tears to people's eyes.

"If you have something to say, say it while kneeling. I'm listening," Qin Mu looked down with disdain, his tone indifferent.

Qin Wuji's face turned red, and a mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat.

Who kneels when they speak against a rebellion?

Do you want this king to kneel and beg you to abdicate?

Is that still considered rebellion?

Qin Wuji felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"Qin Mu, just you wait. I will repay today's shame a hundredfold!" He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? I'm actually looking forward to it."

Qin Wuji snorted coldly, a cold smile appearing on his lips, "Qin Mu, haven't you noticed that the Minister of War hasn't attended court for several days?"

Qin Mu glanced at him casually, "And then?"

"The Minister of War is my man. He has already left Chang'an City and is gathering troops from all directions, preparing to attack Chang'an City."

Qin Wuji sneered, "Now that my army has gathered, your imperial city will be difficult to defend!"

After saying that, he seemed worried that Qin Mu would fight to the death, so he added, "If you surrender, give up the throne, hand over the Quasi-Emperor soldiers, and abolish your cultivation, maybe I will spare your life."

Listening to his words, a sneer appeared on Qin Mu's lips, "The Minister of War has left Chang'an City?"

"That's right!"

Qin Wuji grinned, "He should be leading the army towards Chang'an City. If you are smart, hand over the throne, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I will bury you all!"

Qin Mu smiled faintly, "He ran away, but his family is still in Chang'an City, right?"

Qin Wuji was suddenly stunned.

Although the Minister of War had left Chang'an City, his family had indeed not left.

One reason was that they were afraid of attracting attention with too much movement.

Secondly, according to their plan, they shouldn't have been exposed so early. They had enough time to relocate.

Qin Wuji was still in a daze.

At this moment,

Qin Mu calmly gave an order,

"Someone, capture all the family members of the Minister of War. Execute the men on the spot and send the women to the Concubine Court as slaves. I want to personally punish them."
