Five years later, he blew up the palace with a miniature version of the regent

Chapter 457 Who Wants to Kill the Emperor?
Soon, most of the assassins were controlled by the Royal Forest Army.

An assassin went around to the back and threw a dart at Chu Zai.

"Father, be careful!"

Seeing this, Chu Yuemu felt that this was an excellent opportunity for himself to perform, so he rushed over.

He was sure that there were so many masters in the Imperial Forest Army, and the darts would definitely not be able to hurt his father and him.

He did this just to let his father see his "filial piety".

Sure enough, as he expected.

Halfway through the dart, it was intercepted by the Imperial Forest Army.

And the assassin was also beheaded on the spot.

Blood splattered, heads rolled to the ground, and many female relatives screamed in fear.

But at this time, Chu Yuemu found that his body was out of control.

He wanted to stop, but a stone from nowhere hit his knee.

He suffered from pain, and his body fell forward.

The sword in his hand also stabbed forward.

And the direction of the stabbing was Chu Zai.

"Escort, escort, the seventh prince wants to assassinate the emperor!"

I don't know who yelled anxiously, and the atmosphere at the scene became dignified again.

With a sound of "stab", Concubine Mu actually tore her handkerchief in the future.

She panicked and lost her mind.

"No, how could Mu'er assassinate the emperor?"

Over there, Chu Yuemu's sword did not hurt Chu Zai.

Because at this moment, he had already been kicked severely by someone on the ground.

Chu Rui looked at him coldly.

"Prince of the Chu family, are you so impatient to seek power and usurp the throne? You and your father are still alive!"

He snapped angrily.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that when the emperor was being protected, the Supreme Emperor had already taken up arms and killed the assassin together with the Imperial Forest Army.

Blood stained his robes.

Although his hair is all white, his sharp aura cannot be underestimated.

Everyone also suddenly remembered that the Taishanghuang was the emperor who had been personally conquered by the emperor all the year round.During the years when he was in charge of the Western Chu River, no foreign enemy dared to invade.

But since the emperor ascended the throne, there has never been a personal conquest by the royal driver.

Moreover, it is also the emperor...

Why is the emperor so old that he can still fight assassins, but the emperor has to be protected by so many imperial guards?

For a moment, everyone's expressions... were very delicate.

Chu Zai was so angry that his heart ached.

Since he came to the throne, those courtiers and people have secretly compared him with his father.

And every time, they thought he was not as good as his father.

What happened today, I'm afraid they feel that he is even more useless as an emperor.

Moreover, he also raised a traitor who wanted to murder him.

With anger in his heart and killing intent in his eyes, Chu Zai stared at Chu Yuemu very penetratingly.

He pushed away all the guards in front of him, then pulled out a sword, and strode over: "I killed you bastard."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not. There must be a misunderstanding. Mu'er is here to protect you, so how could he assassinate you?"

Concubine Mu was completely panicked at this moment.

She rushed over there recklessly, and then stood in front of Chu Yuemu, pleading with Chu Zai in grief.

But at this time, the few remaining assassins became even more vicious.

They shouted: "Seventh prince, don't be afraid, even if the subordinates and others die, you will kill the dog emperor for you."

Dog Emperor?
Chu Zai smiled darkly.

"It really belongs to you, Lao Qi, and you actually want to take my life. Well, it's very good."

"No, Royal Father, I don't know these assassins at all. I am wronged."

Chu Yuemu was so frightened that his legs went limp, he explained in a panic.

"Catch them and leave them alive for interrogation."

Chu Rui gave an order to the Imperial Forest Army.

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor."

But when they caught the few remaining survivors, the other party actually vomited black blood.

"Not good, the emperor, they committed suicide by taking poison."

The entire hall was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the ground was also full of corpses.

Not to mention that many female relatives have fainted from fright, even many ministers, their faces turned pale.

But rather than being afraid of the bloody scene in front of them, what they are more afraid of is...

The truth about the assassination.

"Come here, take Princess Changlin, the Seventh Prince, and Concubine Mu under my custody."

Chu Zai dropped the sword in his hand, and gave an order gloomyly.

"No, Brother Huang, I really don't know about this matter."

"Father, those assassins are really not my ministers, they are deliberately framing my ministers."

"Your Majesty, why would Chen Qie and Mu'er want to take your life? Don't be fooled by the traitor."

Chu Changlin, Chu Yuemu and Concubine Mu knelt down one after another, begging for mercy in a panic.

Chu Zhihe also realized the seriousness of the situation, so she hurried over and knelt down.

"Father, the concubine mother and the seventh emperor cared so much about you, why would they kill you? Please also pay attention to the emperor." She said nervously.

"You mean to say that I'm a fool, and I misunderstood you?" Chu Zai's face was extremely ugly.

"No, father, this is not what I mean." Chu Zhihe's face was pale, and she shook her head vigorously.

"You reminded me that if your royal brother and mother want to murder me, you will not be able to get rid of it."

"Come here, and put the sixth princess in custody for me."

Chu Zai ordered angrily.

The empress dowager saw this scene, especially when she saw that Chu Changlin was being escorted and knelt down. After all, she was her own daughter, and she wanted to help to intercede.

But when she opened her mouth, she met Chu Zai's gloomy eyes, and she didn't dare to speak.

The emperor couldn't tolerate others seeking power and usurping the throne the most.

Lin'er and the others...are confused.

"Prince Empress, you are in charge of this palace banquet, why do you allow assassins to sneak in with weapons?"

Chu Zai's gloomy eyes began to fall on the Queen and Chu Yuefu.

Concubine Mu seemed to have an idea suddenly.

She quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress and the Crown Prince must have done this. They wanted to frame Mu'er."

Empress Qin's face also turned cold.

She strode over and slapped Concubine Mu hard on the face.

"Framed the mother country, do you think your life is long? It is the seventh prince who is ambitious and wants to murder the emperor. It's fine if you don't plead guilty, but you still want to pour dirty water on me and the prince."

After scolding Concubine Mu, Queen Qin knelt down in front of Chu Zai.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is in charge of the palace banquet, but the assassin got in. It is because the concubine is not effective in supervision. But the concubine is sincere to the emperor and has no intention of murdering the emperor. The concubine is willing to be banned for a year. Hand over the Phoenix Seal to the Empress Dowager to make up for the fault of my concubine."

Compared with Concubine Mu, Queen Qin's reaction was much stronger.

She advances by retreating. Although she temporarily loses the right to control the seal, as long as the queen's seat remains, she is confident that she can regain the right.

Chu Zai squinted his eyes and stared at her for a long time, but no one could guess his thoughts.

Concubine Mu became even more flustered.

No, she and Mu'er must be removed, otherwise it will be a dead end.

By the way, there is one more person!

"Your Majesty, King Youshan didn't show up today, he must have done this to set us up." She said in a sharp voice.
