The ministers huddled together in fear, and no one dared to make a sound.
Mu Si patted the emperor’s face and said, “Your men don’t seem to want to save you.
In that case, go and die.
”
Amidst the screams of the crowd, the emperor’s neck was slit.
He died with remaining grievance as he stared at Mu Si, who had promised to eliminate Ye Qingxuan for him.
Never would the emperor have thought that he would be the first to die.
Mu Si hissed softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep my promise.
I’ll get him to accompany you later, hahaha—”
All the officials in the royal court had gathered at this banquet.
Wouldn’t all of them be taken down by this scoundrel? Everyone looked at Ye Qingxuan, who was still drinking.
They had placed their hope on the God of War.
Ye Qingxuan seemed too engrossed with his drink to notice the situation at the banquet.
His composure made Mu Si think highly of him.
He scanned the people underground and asked loudly, “I wonder who Xia Jingtian is… Lord Xia?”
Xia Jingtian trembled and wanted to retreat, but he was pushed out by everyone.
He was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
Cold sweat kept dripping down his face as he begged for mercy.

A hint of disdain flashed across Mu Si’s eyes.
He looked at Xia Muqing and said, “Is such a coward worth you betraying me?”
Xia Muqing was puzzled.
Was there something wrong with this person? But she guessed that the person he was questioning wasn’t her, but someone else.
It wasn’t hard to guess who that person was.
It should be her mother.
Mu Si picked up a bow and shot it at Xia Jingtian’s chest.
The arrow struck Xia Jingtian’s chest, and fell to the ground with terror on his face.
He couldn’t understand why he would die in the blink of an eye when he was still imagining the good days he would have, after his daughter married King Zhennan.
He died with grievances in his eyes.
Mu Si didn’t even spare him a glance.
He looked at Xia Muqing with disgust and said, “You, come out.

Ye Qingxuan finally put down the wine glass in his hand and looked up at Mu Si.
“I don’t care what you want to do, but you can’t touch her.
”
Mu Si laughed arrogantly.
“Lad, look carefully.
Even your life is in my hands now.
Do you still want to protect others?”
Something struck him, and his expression darkened.
“Since you want to die, you can do that first.
Let me see how great your love is.
”
He pointed his bow and arrow at Ye Qingxuan.
Xia Muqing frowned and wanted to get up, but she was stopped by Ye Qingxuan.
He waved his hand gently and a group of men rushed into the palace.
The situation at the banquet instantly changed.
A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Si’s eyes.
“When did you know?” If he didn’t know about his plan in advance, why would he place so many people in the palace?
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and replied, “You don’t have to know that.
It’s not too late for you to leave now.
”
Mu Si smiled.
“You’ve already been poisoned by my Gu worm.
You’re bound to lose this battle.
”
Ye Qingxuan’s expression didn’t change at all, but Xia Muqing’s expression suddenly changed.
She quickly asked, “What happened?”
Mu Si seemed very satisfied with this sight.
He looked at Jiang Yifan, who had his head lowered, and said, “Yifan, hurry up and explain.
”
Xia Muqing looked at Jiang Yifan.
The smile on his face had disappeared.
He avoided Xia Muqing’s gaze and replied with hatred, “I am the one.
There was poison in the wine earlier on.
”
Xia Muqing looked at him in disbelief.
“Because you believe that Ye Qingxuan killed your family?”
Anger flashed across Jiang Yifan’s face.
“It’s not that I believe so, but it’s the truth! Do you still want to protect him? I knew you were on his side from the start.
”
Xia Muqing looked at Mu Si, who was grinning smugly.
“This is your scheme, right? You were the one who annihilated the Jiang family.
That jade pendant was originally from my mother.
”
Mu Si’s eyes flashed with admiration.
“So you knew everything.
In that case, it’s not wrong to send you to your death.
”
Jiang Yifan was confused by their words.
A thought that he didn’t dare to think about flashed across his mind.
“What do you mean?”
Although Xia Muqing couldn’t bear to see him like this, she couldn’t forgive him for hurting Ye Qingxuan.
She replied coldly, “He was the one who killed the Jiang family.
”
Jiang Yifan’s face turned pale.
If that was true, then what had he done? He had helped his enemy hurt his friend.
“That’s right.
I did it.
”
After Mu Si said that, the last trace of hope in his heart disappeared.
He roared and rushed forward, wanting to kill this man.
.
However, how could he be a match for him, as he didn’t know any martial arts? Before he could reach Mu Si, a sword had pierced through his abdomen.
