Soon, most of the Assassins were controlled by the Royal Guards.

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

"Father, be careful!"

When Chu Yuemu saw this, he felt that this was a perfect opportunity for him to show off, so he rushed over.

He was sure that with so many masters in the Royal Forest Army, the darts would not be able to harm his father or him.

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

Sure enough, just as he expected.

The dart was intercepted by the Imperial Guards when it reached halfway.

The assassin was also beheaded on the spot.

Blood splattered, heads rolled to the ground, and many of the female family members screamed in fear.

But it was also at this time that Chu Yuemu realized that his body was out of control.

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

He was in pain and fell forward.

The sword in his hand also thrust forward.

The direction of the stabbing was Chu Zai.

"Protect, protect, the seventh prince wants to assassinate the emperor!"

Someone shouted anxiously, and the atmosphere at the scene became solemn again.

With a "stab" sound, Concubine Mu actually tore her handkerchief.

She was so panicked that she lost her mind.

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

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

Because at this time, he had been kicked to the ground hard by someone.

Chu Rui looked at him coldly.

"Is the prince of the Chu family so eager to seek power and usurp the throne now? Your father and I are still alive!"

he shouted angrily.

Only then did everyone realize that while the emperor was being protected, the Supreme Emperor had already picked up weapons and killed the assassin with the imperial guards.

Blood stained his robe.

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

Everyone also suddenly remembered that the Supreme Emperor was an emperor who often led military campaigns in person. During the years when he was in charge of Western Chu, no foreign enemies dared to invade.

But since the emperor ascended the throne, there has never been a personal expedition by the emperor.

Moreover, it is also the emperor...

Why is it that even at such an old age, the Emperor can still compete with assassins, but the Emperor has to be protected by so many imperial guards?

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

Chu Zai was so angry that his heart ached.

Since he ascended the throne, those ministers and people have secretly compared him with his father.

And every time, they thought he was inferior to their father.

What happened today probably made them feel that he was even more useless as an emperor.

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

With anger in his heart and murderous intent in his eyes, Chu Zai stared at Chu Yuemu with very penetrating eyes.

He pushed away the imperial guards blocking him, then pulled out a sword and strode over: "I will kill you, this evil obstacle."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't. There must be a misunderstanding. Mu'er is here to protect you. How could he assassinate you?"

Concubine Mu was completely panicked at this time.

She rushed over there desperately, then stood in front of Chu Yuemu, begging Chu Zai sadly.

At this time, the few remaining assassins actually became more ferocious.

They shouted: "Seventh Prince, don't be afraid. Even if your subordinates and others die, I will kill the Dog Emperor for you."

Dog Emperor?

Chu Zai smiled gloomily.

"I am really yours, Lao Qi, and you actually want to take my life. Good, very good."

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

Chu Yuemu was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he explained in a panic.

"Catch them and keep them alive for interrogation."

Chu Rui gave orders to the Royal Forest Army.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

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

"No, Your Majesty, they committed suicide by taking poison."

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

Not to mention that many of the female relatives were so frightened that they fainted, and even many ministers turned pale.

But instead of being afraid of the bloody scene in front of them, what they were more afraid of was...

The truth about this assassination.

"Come here, bring Princess Chang Lin, the Seventh Prince, and Concubine Mu to my custody."

Chu Zai dropped the sword in his hand and gave the order gloomily.

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

"Father, those assassins are really not my son. They are deliberately framing my son."

"Your Majesty, how could I and Mu'er want to take your life? Don't be deceived by the traitor."

Chu Changlin, Chu Yuemu and Mu Fei all knelt down and begged for mercy in a panic.

Chu Zhihe also realized that the situation was serious, so she ran over and knelt down.

"Father, my concubine, and the Seventh Emperor's brother care so much about you. How could they kill you? Please understand." She said nervously.

"You mean to say that I am a foolish king and have misunderstood you?" Chu Zai's face was extremely ugly.

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

"You have reminded me that if your emperor, brother and mother want to murder me, you will have nothing to do with it."

"Come here, take the Sixth Princess into custody as well."

Chu Zai ordered angrily.

When the Queen Mother saw this scene, especially when she saw that Chu Changlin was being escorted to her knees, she was her biological daughter after all, and she wanted to help plead for mercy.

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

The emperor cannot tolerate others seeking power and usurping the throne.

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

"The Queen and Prince, you are responsible for 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, this must have been done by the Queen and the Prince. They wanted to frame Mu'er."

Queen Qin's face also turned cold.

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

"Framing the mother country, do you think you will live longer? The seventh prince is ambitious and wants to murder the emperor. It's fine that you don't admit guilt. You actually want to pour dirty water on me and the prince."

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

"Your Majesty, I am in charge of the palace banquet, but I let an assassin sneak in. It is because I did not supervise the emperor well. But I am sincere to the emperor and have no intention of murdering the emperor. I am willing to be grounded for one year. Give the phoenix seal to the Queen Mother to make up for my concubine's fault."

Compared with Concubine Mu, Empress Qin's reaction was much more powerful.

She retreated in order to advance. Although she temporarily lost the control of the seal, as long as the queen's position remained, she was confident that she could regain the power.

Chu Zai stared at her with squinted eyes for a long time, no one could guess what he was thinking.

Concubine Mu became even more panicked.

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

By the way, there is another person!

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