nk An Xue Tang for doing so.The next dayAn Xue Tang and Mo Yun Jing had just finished their meal, she was planning to go for a walk in the mountains and collect some rare herbs, but plans often change...Mo Heng's actions caused the officials present to scream in unison.

These officials weren't afraid of killing. Having served in office for many years, their hands weren't clean either. Over the years, they had secretly killed people on numerous occasions.

But Mo Heng did such a thing right in front of them, which shocked and terrified them greatly.

After all, who knows who will be the next to die

However, Wu Suo stood aside thoughtfully, staring at Mo Heng, paying close attention to his every move.

To be an emperor, one must not have a woman's heart. It was unexpected that Mo Heng would kill this official in front of everyone.

But it also kindled a flicker of hope in his heart.

For these officials who had taken sides with the court early on, besides Mo Yunren, whoever ascended the throne in the future would be unlikely to reuse them.

Even if they allowed Mo Yunze to take that position, let alone trust and rely on him, I'm afraid these court officials wouldn't even be able to keep their lives.

So for them, the best course of action would be to continue their loyalty to the Second Prince's Manor.

Although the Second Prince is dead, he has biological offspring. The young master of the Second Prince's residence also belongs to the royal bloodline and is the eldest grandson of the Emperor.

In history, there have also been cases where emperors directly issued an imperial decree to enthrone their eldest son as the crown prince.

So at this moment, looking at Mo Hengzhi's actions, Wu Suo's mind started to become active again.

Although the Second Prince is deceased and has lost all claim to the throne, as long as the heir in his household can rise to power, they will continue to be loyal to him. It would be easier for them to remain loyal to the Second Prince's heir than to switch allegiance to another prince.

And since they were already serving the Second Prince, it is only natural for them to remain loyal to his son now.

In the future, if Prince Mo Heng's true abilities are realized and successful, these elderly ministers will not meet the fate of being slaughtered to the last person.

Thinking of this, Wu Suo disregarded the injuries on his body. He stood silently beside Mo Hengzhi until Mo Hengzhi threw the sword in his hand to the ground.

Although these officials kept kowtowing and begging for mercy from Mo Hengzhi, he remained steadfastly beside him.

Mo Heng raised an eyebrow, looked at the kneeling minister begging for mercy, then turned to Wu Sha, and let out a sneer. “They all know to kneel and plead. But General Wu Don’t you think General Wu believes that this young master wouldn’t dare take your life”

Mo Heng's words were full of threats, but Wu Suo was not afraid at all.

After Mo Heng finished speaking, he cupped his hands and spoke with extreme calmness: "Your Highness, please do not misunderstand. This subordinate was a member of the Second Prince's mansion many years ago. When the Second Prince was alive, this subordinate was willing to go through fire and water for him, without hesitation."

“Now that the Second Prince has met with misfortune, I am deeply saddened. However, my loyalty to the Second Prince’s residence remains unchanged. Therefore, I too am a member of the Second Prince’s household. My life is in the hands of the Young Master. If the Young Master wishes for me to die, I dare not live.”

Mo Heng's lips curled into a sneer, "Slick-talking."

Wu Ssuo's words were actually a way of expressing his loyalty to Mo Heng. They were both intelligent people, and even though Mo Heng was young, he understood the true meaning behind Wu Ssuo's words.

It boils down to this: Wu Suo has made his decision. Even though his father has passed away, he will still serve the people in the Second Prince's mansion with his life.

And as the prince of the Second Prince's mansion, though he didn't yet know how the current emperor would handle this matter, he was the current emperor's eldest grandson.

Even if the current emperor were as cold and ruthless as ever, he would still arrange for many matters in the Second Prince's mansion.

As the crown prince, he is sure to inherit the title of king.

Although there is no Second Prince in the capital anymore, it's no surprise that Mo Heng will be the next one to be crowned king.

So Wu Su's words at this moment are nothing more than revealing a meaning to him, that he is willing to be loyal to him as the prince.

After Wu Sha rubbed his hands together, the officials kneeling on the ground also reacted.

Yes, although the Second Prince they were loyal to died, the Second Prince still has a son.

This prince is sure to be made a king.

Instead of risking your life here or living in fear, waiting for someone like Mo Yunze's schemes, it would be better to continue planning the young master's future.

Once their plan is successful, they will get everything they want: wealth, status, and power.

After they understood this, these officials began to speak at length.

Although the words may differ, the meaning is roughly the same.

It's simply a declaration of their determination to Mok Heng.

After all these officials had finished speaking one by one, Mo Heng's black eyes remained undisturbed.

He seemed thoughtful as his gaze fell on Wu Shao's face. He suddenly said, "General Wu, do you think this young master should forgive what you did today This young master heard everything clearly from outside the door just now."

"Your desperate pleas, one by one wanting to betray the Second Prince's Manor, betray this young master, if not for today these dead soldiers' master being this young master, you would have long been someone else's loyal dog."

The term "loyal dog" made these officials uncomfortable. After all, they were officials appointed by the imperial court and able to sit here discussing state affairs; these officials weren't low-ranking.

Otherwise, those years, Second Prince wouldn't have bothered to court them.

But now that Mo Heng actually described them as "loyal dogs," they were extremely indignant.

Just now, they had all seen with their own eyes how Mo Heng ruthlessly killed a court official without batting an eyelid. At this moment, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they dared not speak out in rebuttal.

Mo Heng also didn't make things difficult for them for too long. Today, he shouldn't have come here. His father had just passed away, and logically, he should be with his mother at this time, leading all the people from their Prince's Mansion to the imperial city gate to cry out for justice.

After all, his father's death was unclear, the person behind it must be a member of the royal family or nobility.

Because few have the skill and audacity to enter their home undetected and kill his father.

Furthermore, there aren't many people who dare to kill a duke.

After much deliberation, the murderer must be one of his father king's siblings.

Unfortunately, the perpetrator cleaned up very well. Both their household and their grandfather's place had many capable individuals who meticulously examined the scene of the father king's death.

But none of them found a single clue, which was really creepy.

Whether it was his biological mother or his maternal grandfather, they both believed the person who did this possessed great strength.

It seems he was going to spare the lives of everyone in their palace, so he only took his father's life.

Otherwise, with those people's capabilities, they could have slaughtered the entire royal family last night.

Whether the person behind this was plotting a bigger scheme, or simply wanted to kill his father, remains unknown.

In short, this matter should not be taken lightly.

That's why he wanted to bring the matter before his imperial grandfather and take the opportunity to ask him to dispatch more Imperial Guards to protect their prince's mansion.

Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make a big scene, hoping to move his grandfather by showing how much he missed being the eldest grandson. Perhaps he could even use this to pave his way to a brighter future.fact that Chi Guo has an army of 80,000 soldiers, their forces today still number roughly 90,000.
