Chapter 633 Zombie Prince 7

Night fell over the capital, and the Gu Mansion was silent. Mu Xue paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious. Gu Moshen had been in the palace for a long time, but he had not returned yet. An ominous premonition lingered in her heart.

"Princess, don't worry. Maybe the prince was delayed in the palace due to something." The maid beside her comforted her softly.

Mu Xue frowned and paced back and forth: "How can I not be anxious? It's already this late."

Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door, and the housekeeper opened the door, only to see a mysterious woman with a veil on her face, walking in gracefully. Mu Xue rushed over upon hearing the sound, and when she saw the woman's face clearly, she couldn't help but gasp, it was Concubine Li.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Xue looked at her warily.

Concubine Li smiled gently, with a sly look in her eyes: "Miss Mu Xue, how are you? I came here today to tell you a shocking secret, a truth that can destroy your family."

Mu Xue frowned: "What secret?"

Concubine Li came close to Mu Xue and said in a low voice, "Do you think the Gu family's demise was only caused by my father, brother and clan members framing you? You are wrong. All this was instigated by the emperor."

Mu Xue's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Impossible! The emperor has already vindicated the Gu family and punished your family."

Concubine Li snorted coldly, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes: "That was just a pretense. The late emperor passed the throne to Gu Moshen's father, and it was the current emperor who tampered with the late emperor's edict of succession. He was afraid that Gu Moshen's father would know about this and take revenge on him, so he had the intention of killing the Gu family. My father, brother and clansmen were just his scapegoats. Now, all my family members are dead, and he is still sitting firmly in that high position. Why?"

Mu Xue's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled slightly: "Are you telling the truth?"

Concubine Li's eyes were firm: "Every word I said is true. Now that Gu Moshen has entered the palace, I'm afraid it's more likely to be dangerous."

Mu Xue's heart tightened and her face turned pale in an instant. She realized that Gu Moshen might be in danger if he entered the palace. Without thinking too much, she turned around and ran out the door.

"Miss Mu Xue, where are you going?" Concubine Li shouted behind her.

"I want to go into the palace to save my husband!" Mu Xue's voice was firm and resolute.

Mu Xue ran all the way to the palace gate, which was tightly closed and heavily guarded.

"Stop! Who dares to break into the palace gate?" the guard shouted.

"I am the prince's wife Mu Xue. Please let me in. I have something important to discuss with the emperor." Mu Xue was extremely anxious.

"No one is allowed to enter the palace without the emperor's order! Besides, how would we know if you are a princess?" The guard remained unmoved.

Mu Xue was extremely anxious, but suddenly she had an idea and took out a jade pendant from her arms. This was a token of love that Gu Moshen had once given her.

"This is the prince's jade pendant, look!" Mu Xue held the jade pendant in front of the guards.

The guards looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the palace gate.

Mu Xue rushed into the palace, looking for Gu Moshen everywhere. The palace was full of winding corridors and palaces, and Mu Xue ran out of breath, but she still couldn't find any trace of Gu Moshen.

Just when she was feeling desperate, she suddenly heard a quarrel coming from a palace.

"Your Majesty, why do you treat the Gu family like this? My father was loyal to you, but you repaid him with evil!" This was Gu Moshen's angry voice.

"Gu Moshen, stop talking nonsense! The Gu family is guilty of treason and deserves death!" The emperor's voice was full of majesty.

Mu Xue quietly approached the palace and through the gap in the window, saw Gu Moshen confronting the emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't try to quibble! I have already found out these days that you tampered with the late emperor's edict. You were guilty and afraid, so you did this to the Gu family!" Gu Moshen's eyes were wide open, holding the hilt of the sword.

The emperor's face was gloomy: "Gu Moshen, are you planning a rebellion?"

"Treason? Haha, Your Majesty, you forced me to do it! This throne does not belong to you in the first place. Today I will seek justice for the Gu family!" Gu Moshen said as he drew his sword.

At this moment, Mu Xue rushed into the palace desperately: "Husband, don't!" Gu Moshen was shocked when he saw Mu Xue: "Xue'er, why are you here?"

Mu Xue ran to Gu Moshen and said, "Husband, I can't let you face danger alone."

Seeing this, the emperor sneered and said, "What a loving couple. Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving!"

"Your Majesty, you have done so many evil things that you will not have a good end!" Mu Xue glared at the emperor.

The emperor shouted, "Come here, take them down!"

A group of guards rushed in and surrounded Gu Moshen and Mu Xue.

Gu Moshen held Mu Xue's hand tightly: "Xue'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mu Xue nodded: "Husband, I'm not afraid."

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, there was a sudden shout of killing. It turned out that Gu Moshen's trusted general led a team of elite soldiers to arrive.

"Your Majesty, we are here to rescue you!" the general shouted.

The situation reversed in an instant and the guards began to panic.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the emperor wanted to escape, but was blocked by Gu Moshen.

"Your Majesty, today is your end!" Gu Moshen raised his sword and pointed it at the emperor.

The emperor collapsed to the ground in fear: "Gu Moshen, spare my life! I am your uncle... I can return the throne to you."

Gu Moshen's eyes flashed with hesitation, and Mu Xue said beside him: "Husband, we can't let him go. He caused the entire Gu family to be executed. We must avenge the Gu family! Besides, we have investigated very clearly these days. He is a tyrant..."

Gu Moshen gritted his teeth and finally stabbed the emperor with his sword.

"The prince killed the emperor, come quickly..." The emperor was killed on the spot, the eunuchs screamed in fear, and the palace was in chaos.

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue, with the support of the generals, fought their way out of the palace.

"General, what should we do now?" asked the general.

Gu Moshen pondered for a moment: "Stabilize the situation first, and don't let the capital fall into chaos."

Mu Xue said: "Husband, we must restore the reputation of the Gu family and give justice to the world."

Gu Moshen nodded: "Xue'er, don't worry, I won't let the Gu family's grievances go to waste."

After some rectification, the capital finally returned to peace, and Gu Moshen ascended the throne with the support of the people.

At the coronation ceremony, Mu Xue stood beside Gu Moshen, looking at the cheering people below the stage, her heart filled with emotion.

"Husband, we have finally ushered in a new beginning." Mu Xue said softly.

Gu Moshen held Mu Xue's hand and said, "Xue'er, all this is thanks to you. From now on, I will work with you to create a peaceful and prosperous world."

"Xue'er, is it time for us to have a baby?" Gu Moshen returned to the room, hugged Mu Xue tightly in his arms, and said affectionately.

"Yeah," Mu Xue nodded shyly.
