Overnight, White Tiger Emperor Dai Tianfeng and the eldest prince Dai Weisi were both assassinated.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and the entire Star Luo City was in chaos.
The next day, the time for the court meeting was advanced, and the ministers in formal court uniforms set out from their respective residences and gathered in front of the palace gate.
The royal family was almost wiped out overnight, all the ministers were panicked, and Star Luo Empire suddenly lost its backbone.
Empress Zhu walked out of the side door of the side hall.
She did not wear the formal queen's dress as usual, but only wore a dark court dress, which was darker in color and did not wear any gorgeous accessories at the neckline.
Her hair was tied back with a plain hairpin, and her entire face looked a little less calm than before, and a little more haggard.
There was a faint red color in the eye sockets, and there was a trace of dried tears remaining on the cheekbones, as if she had been crying for a long time.
The hall fell silent for an instant, and the queen with the highest status was the queen in front of her.
She stood in front of the main hall and glanced at the faces of the ministers and clan members.
"His Majesty and the eldest prince were assassinated last night."
"The capital is currently in chaos, and we still need ministers to maintain order."
"In addition... make every effort to find the whereabouts of the third prince."
Several ministers exchanged glances.
An old minister standing in the front row took a step forward. He was one of the most senior ministers in the court. His hair was completely white, but his voice was still steady and powerful.
"Your Majesty the Queen, your Majesty and the eldest prince are no longer here, and the third prince is living abroad. There must be no one in the court to take charge of the overall situation. I believe that the queen can temporarily supervise the country until the third prince is found."
He paused and said, "The Queen is a member of the royal family. She has been with His Majesty for many years and understands the affairs of the government. It is a safe move for you to temporarily supervise the country."
After he finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a long time.
After a while, the second minister stood up and said, "I second the proposal."
The ministers also stood up one after another and seconded their opinions.
At present, there is only one third prince left in the royal family, who is living abroad. This proposal has been approved by most of the courtiers.
Even if there are people who disagree, it is not appropriate to jump out and object at this time.
A trace of ambition flashed in Empress Zhu's eyes. Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai were not her children, but the children of the former late queen.
Just wait for the Spirit Hall to get rid of Dai Mubai, and Zhu Family can completely replace Dai Family and sit on the throne of the Star Luo Empire.
"Since all the ministers trust me, I will temporarily handle the affairs of the government until the third prince is found."
She bowed slightly.
Zhu Family.
The new patriarch, Zhu Yunyun, saw Gui Mei and Ghost Leopard return unscathed.
Secretly surprised, Spirit Hall is indeed terrifying. He went deep into the imperial palace to assassinate the king of a country, but was unharmed.
She is even more determined to stand by the Spirit Hall, not to mention that she and His Highness the Holy Son are close friends.
Thinking of the queen, she is also the standard daughter of the Zhu Family, with equally stunning looks and figure, and is two years older than her.
Maybe... we can win over the queen...
The two sisters together have an advantage over the female tyrannosaurus, right?
Maybe we can get more support this way?
Although they are cousins, they are still sisters!
All for the Zhu Family!
Dai Mubai I don't remember how long I ran.
He ran across the wilderness, through dense forests, and over hills and streams whose names he could no longer remember.
He did not dare to take the official road, did not dare to enter the town, and even had to go around the country roads.
Heaven Dou Empire is no longer safe, and Star Luo Empire is even more unsafe. He doesn't know where else he can go.
After escaping for several days, he came to the ruins of the Shrek Academy.
There is an area in the center of the ruins that has been cleared, the ground has been leveled, and the frames of several simple wooden houses have been erected. The beams and columns have not yet been put on top, and the wall panels are only half nailed.
Flender, Zhao Wuji and others were checking the progress among the semi-finished wooden houses.
Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and his eyes fell on Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's clothes were torn in several places and stained with dust and grass clippings. His hair was messy, his eyes were sunken, and his face was ashen as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
"Mubai? Why are you here?"
Dai Mubai's voice was a little hoarse, "Someone is chasing me. Spirit Hall's people."
Zhao Wuji put down what he was doing and walked out from behind the frame of the wooden house. He crossed his arms and his face darkened. "Spirit Hall is chasing you? Why?"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, "Dai Family is finished. My father and my eldest brother are both dead. It must be Spirit Hall who did it."
Not far away, Oscar poked his head out from a wooden house that had been framed, and Ma Hongjun followed him.
Ma Hongjun has lost a lot of weight now, and the contours of his face are much sharper than before. He looked at Dai Mubai with somewhat complicated emotions in his eyes.
"Boss Dai, come here, Spirit Hall will know soon."
In less than a day, people from the Spirit Hall arrived.
The leader was Chrysanthemum Douluo, followed by several Soul Douluo level enforcers. They came very calmly, as if they already knew that Dai Mubai would be here.
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood on the edge of the ruins, with his hands in his sleeves and a smile on his lips, "Dai Mubai, you run very fast."
Dai Mubai looked pale, Spirit Hall came here so quickly.
Flender stepped forward hesitantly.
"Your Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo... Dai Mubai is a student of Shrek... You see..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at him.
"If you don't want to die, don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise..."
Flender turned blue and white upon hearing this, and silently stepped back.
Ma Hongjun was trembling with fear and had lost his usual arrogance.
"It's all your fault."
His voice was not loud, but there was an uncontrollable irritability in his tone.
"If you hadn't come here, we wouldn't have been stuck here."
Zhu Zhuqing walked over from the edge of the ruins. She stopped in front of Dai Mubai.
"Dai Family It's over, I don't plan to follow you anymore."
She turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Please tell His Highness the Holy Son that I will get back to the Zhu Family soon."
Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at her and said, "Okay."
Dai Mubai's expression changed at that moment.
He suddenly grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's wrist and pulled her in front of him, while his other hand was already clasped around her neck.
This action happened so fast that Flender next to him didn't even have time to react.
Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't struggle.
Dai Mubai's face was crazily distorted.
"It must be you bitch who tipped off the news, right?"
"You Zhu Family must have taken refuge with the Spirit Hall?"
"Don't come over, let me go, I swear, I will never come back to the Star Luo Empire, and I will disappear from your sight from now on."
Flender and others' expressions changed at this moment.
"Mubai, you are crazy! Let Zhu Qing go!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo took a step forward and appeared in front of Dai Mubai in an instant. The fingers on Dai Mubai's wrist were slightly tightened.
Dai Mubai heard the sound of bone dislocation in his wrist, his fingers loosened, his center of gravity was unbalanced, and his body took two steps back.
Zhu Zhuqing took the opportunity to break away from Dai Mubai's control and retreated a few steps away.
Before Mubai could stand still, Chrysanthemum Douluo's right hand had already fallen, and a golden ray of light penetrated into Dai Mubai's chest.
Dai Mubai died!
