As his voice fell, a youth wearing a robe with a flood dragon pattern walked in with a gloomy expression. His eyes were as sinister as a venomous python as he stared at Qin Mu with a smile.
He was the Crown Prince of Han Country!
Beside him was the Han Country's fourth young master, Han Yu, who had an imposing appearance, a fair face, and a smile on his lips.
However, Han Yu did not walk side by side with the Crown Prince. Instead, he took a step away from the Crown Prince and followed behind him like an attendant.
Ever since he entered, he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked straight to his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Obviously, he wasn't going to interfere in anything. He had no desires and wanted nothing.
"Lord Prime Minister, am I right?”At this moment, the Crown Prince, who was sitting in the seat closest to the King of Han, raised his head and asked.
His voice was loud and powerful.
" This..." Zhang Kai's face turned green and purple, changing colors like a chameleon. He bowed back and said," The Crown Prince is right. I misunderstood the King's meaning."”
As he spoke, a hint of helplessness and worry appeared on his old face.
Helplessness was referring to the Crown Prince's support for Ji Wuye. If the two of them joined forces, they would probably be able to do whatever they wanted in the court.
The one who was worried was Qin Mu!
It seemed that this marriage wouldn't be easy. Ji Wuye and the Crown Prince would definitely try their best to stop it.
Next, it would be up to Qin Mu to deal with it!
When he thought of this, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qin Mu's position. He actually saw Qin Mu's expression and didn't have the slightest fear or panic. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
You are Qin Mu?" At this moment, the Crown Prince was once again aggressive and questioned.
This time, Princess Red Lotus could not stand it anymore. She stood up angrily and placed her hands on her waist." Big Brother, what are you doing?”
Just now, she had personally seen her big brother (Crown Prince) and Ji Wuye targeting Qin Mu.
Even though she had only interacted with Qin Mu for a short period of time, her intuition told her that Qin Mu was someone she could rely on. He was ten times or even hundreds of times stronger than the princes of other countries or the direct sons of dignitaries.
If big brother and the others were targeting Qin Mu, wouldn't they be destroying her hope of freedom?
Thus, she had to stand up for Qin Mu.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Crown Prince waved his robe vigorously and scolded loudly," How can you come to this place? Men, escort the princess back to her chambers."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
A few of the crown prince's trusted guards rode on their swords and rushed towards Princess Red Lotus with heavy footsteps. When they were a few meters away, Qin Mu slowly put down his wine cup.
Instantly, the wine bottle seemed to have transformed into a winged, poisonous boa that emitted a terrifying aura. It stuck out its tongue and stared at the guards in front of it with its cold snake eyes, causing them to be stunned on the spot.
Their bodies trembled, and large beads of sweat covered their faces, wetting their heavy armor and dripping onto the ground along the patterns of the armor, making a dripping sound.
Along with the sound of sweat, there was also the stench of urine loss.
Everything that happened in the blink of an eye. By the time they reacted, they were completely paralyzed on the ground, unable to exert any strength.
In front of them, the poisonous boa had already disappeared, leaving only Qin Mu looking at them with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Following that, Qin Mu played with the wine cup and teased," Your Highness Crown Prince, what's up with your trusted aide? How could he do such a dirty thing in such a solemn place in front of the princess?”
"Men, drag these guards out and kill them!”
His voice was overbearing and unyielding.
Then, a few guards dragged the paralyzed Crown Prince's trusted aide out. Soon, a cry for mercy and a miserable cry could be heard.
"You…"
When the Crown Prince saw this, he was instantly speechless.
Even though he didn't know what had happened just now, he knew that it was definitely Qin Mu's doing. Otherwise, how could the guard do such a dirty thing?
Little did he know that while he was pondering, Ji Wuye, who was beside him, narrowed his eyes and was shocked. This is something that only the Spiritual Martial Realm can do. It seems like…you're hiding something. In that case…I'll play with you.”
Then, he called over a guard and whispered a few words to him. The guard hurriedly turned around and left... However, before he left, he glanced in Qin Mu's direction from the corner of his eyes.
This scene was seen by Qin Mu, and a mocking expression appeared in his eyes. He muttered to himself," I want to see... what tricks you're playing.”
"Young Master Qin Mu, what are you mumbling about?”" What did you do to the guards just now?" Princess Red Lotus, who was beside him, asked. Then, she tilted her head in confusion.”
Qin Mu took a sip of wine and smiled." It's nothing much. I'm just using a little trick to prevent these filthy people from getting close to Her Highness the Princess.”
Puchi...
When Princess Red Lotus heard that, she covered her mouth and snickered." Thank you for helping me out, Young Master Qin Mu.”
Immediately after, Qin Mu and Princess Red Lotus had a good chat. When this scene entered the eyes of the crown prince, it was like a rage that was about to erupt. The veins on his hand that was holding the wine cup were already popping out.
Although he was the Crown Prince and the future heir to the throne, anything could happen before he ascended the throne…Especially when he learned that his fourth brother, Han Yu, had many followers and that all the capable people were gathered here, all kinds of worries rose in his heart.
However, he had once met the royal family of Yan Country, Yan Chunjun, by chance and made an agreement. As long as he married Princess Hong Lian to Yan Chunjun, Yan Chunjun would help him successfully ascend the throne.
This way, his position as Crown Prince would be as stable as a mountain.
Although he knew that Yan Chunjun was a lecherous person, he would do anything for the sake of his throne.
Even if it was his sister who was sacrificed, he would not hesitate.
There was no kinship in the royal family!
Yet Qin Mu appeared at the crucial moment? How could he accept this?
Thus, he used Ji Wuye's minions, the assassins of Poison Scorpion Sect, to assassinate Qin Mu. If Qin Mu died, the suspect would definitely be Ji Wuye!
As for him? He could rest easy!
Who would have thought that on the night of Qin Mu's assassination, the entire Poison Scorpion Sect would be exterminated?
Now that he saw that Qin Mu was safe and sound and was very close to Red Lotus, his heart was filled with anger.
However, he couldn't vent his anger at the banquet!
At the thought of this, he suddenly raised his wine cup and downed the wine in one gulp.
Little did he know that his subtle expression had already been seen by the fourth young master, Han Yu. In response, Han Yu sneered and sat on the chopping board, quietly waiting for his father's arrival.
Not long after, a sharp voice came from the depths of the hall." The King has arrived!”
