This move made the queen notice something strange.
"etc!"
The queen stepped forward and protected the prince behind her.
She stared at the old eunuch in front of her and said displeasedly: "Why did you lead the prince to the side hall instead of the main hall?"
"Is it possible that there is a reason for such a grand ceremony to be held in the side hall?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Jiang still lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. The main hall is still being carefully arranged. The prince is not allowed to enter until then."
Seeing that the queen still didn't believe it, Eunuch Jiang quickly added: "Your Majesty, this is the king's will. Please don't embarrass this old slave."
Moving the old King of Silla out was indeed effective. Even though the Queen was still unhappy, it was inconvenient to say anything more.
After all, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, so the rules of the former king must still be followed.
At this point, Eunuch Jiang successfully introduced the prince into the side hall.
The prince, who had just stepped into the side hall and was blowing snot from his nose, suddenly smiled stupidly at Eunuch Jiang.
"You are not Grandpa Jiang, you are the candy man who came to play with my mother today! I remember your taste!"
As soon as these words came out, a cold light suddenly flashed in Eunuch Jiang's eyes.
Before the prince could make any move, Eunuch Jiang had already struck the prince's neck with his knife.
The prince could not withstand such a blow. He fell to the ground and fell unconscious on the spot.
Looking at the unconscious prince, Eunuch Jiang frowned tightly.
He never expected that his flawless disguise would be seen through by a weakling.
That's right, this is not the real Eunuch Jiang.
The real Eunuch Jiang has passed away now.
What stands here now was transformed by Muchuan.
Due to his top-notch medical skills, Muchuan easily peeled off Eunuch Jiang's face after obtaining his body and made a seamless human skin mask.
In fact, everything happening now is the work of Muchuan.
First, Mu Yingchen sent a seal representing the identity of the King of Silla from the palace, then Mu Yingchen found the traces of Eunuch Jiang, and then handed it over to Muchuan to kill him.
Because of this, the princes were able to receive the secret edict that was confused with the real one.
Even if some princes are still dubious, they will believe it completely when they see Eunuch Jiang disguised as Muchuan.
After all, these Silla princes still seemed too young in front of Muchuan.
After introducing the last prince into the side hall, Muchuan immediately tore off the human skin mask and then walked into the main hall.
In the main hall, there were no servants arranging the ceremony, but a group of fully armed soldiers.
On the throne, sat the figure of the second prince.
Seeing Muchuan come in, the second prince was overjoyed and stood up quickly.
"Brother Mu, how is the situation?"
Muchuan smiled faintly and said: "All the fish have entered the net, and the next work of collecting the net will be done by His Highness, oh no, it should be the king."
The second prince was naturally overjoyed when he heard these words.
What he didn't know was that as long as he wiped out all these competitors, it would be certain that he would take office.
"Brother Mu, I will always remember your great kindness and virtue. When I ascend the throne, you Mu Chuan will be my forever honored guest as the King of Silla!"
Facing the second prince's promise, Muchuan smiled and said nothing.
VIP? How ridiculous.
But Muchuan didn't care. In his eyes, the second prince in front of him was not a person, but just a chess piece.
Things became much simpler after that.
Since the incense was placed in every side hall, those princes fell asleep without knowing it.
The second prince took the people there and had only the task of packing them.
After a while, a large number of sacks were loaded onto the carriage and secretly sent outside the palace.
No one knew that most of the princes of Silla Kingdom disappeared in just one night.
The mansion where the envoys were located was currently a scene of singing and dancing.
"General Xue, I really can't drink anymore."
"Yes, yes, I have to meet the queen tomorrow morning. Drinking too much is not good."
The ministers were all driven into unconsciousness. Even Xue Rengui, who was leading the early celebration banquet, was full of alcohol at this moment.
Xue Rengui thought about the task assigned to him by Muchuan, and finally came up with the idea of drinking to delay time.
Fortunately, after receiving the emperor's seal, each of these ministers felt that they were sure of victory and had no doubts. They were all happy to have a celebratory drink in advance, which could alleviate everyone's sadness these days.
Things developed exactly according to Muchuan's plan.
By the second day, all that was left to the ministers of the envoy was an established mess.
When the first light of dawn fell, the guards who had been waiting outside the Xuanzheng Hall finally realized that something was wrong.
Their master has been in there most of the night, why hasn't he come out yet?
Even if the secret succession ceremony is very complicated, it shouldn't be delayed for so long, right?
When they rushed in, they bumped into other princes' guards.
With their swords facing each other, everyone was in a stalemate for a long time.
Finally, someone suggested that we go to the main hall to see the situation before making a decision.
After reaching an agreement, a group of people broke into the main hall.
After entering the palace, everyone realized that there was no trace of a throne passing ceremony, not even a ghost.
Suddenly, word spread quickly about the disappearance of the princes, including the prince.
When the ministers of the envoy arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the news had just reached the Queen's ears.
After learning the news, the queen was devastated.
Only then did she recall that the Eunuch Jiang whom she met last night kept his head down and never looked at her face carefully, which meant there was something wrong with him.
"Get out! Get out of here, everyone!"
The minister of the envoy was also inexplicably frustrated.
They couldn't figure out why the good-natured prince disappeared overnight.
In desperation, the ministers of the envoy could only sigh and turn back the way they came.
It seems that this mission is destined to be impossible to complete.
The disappearance of the crown prince means that the Silla Kingdom is about to undergo a drastic change.
Under such circumstances, the new king's accession to the throne may be delayed for a long time, and they simply cannot afford to wait.
Unlike the panic among the officials of the envoy group and the entire Silla Kingdom, Muchuan was eating breakfast quite comfortably at the moment.
It was very rare today that Xue Rengui was not standing by, only Mu Yingchen was fighting for food with Muchuan.
In order to delay the envoys last night, Lao Xue drank the wine like water. Even if it was a large amount, he has become a drunk cat and is still sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Xiaoying, I'm not telling you, I'm just asking you to find out the location of Eunuch Jiang. Why did you kill so many people along the way?"
Muchuan said angrily to Mu Yingchen while eating breakfast.
Mu Yingchen didn't reply, and continued to nibble on the white-faced steamed buns.
In desperation, Muchuan could only take one more handful of the buns in her mouth.
"Master, didn't you say so? My life is the most important thing during the mission."
Mu Yingchen stared pitifully at the half-eaten bun in Muchuan's hand and said, "If I don't kill those guards, they will definitely kill me when they find me."
Hearing this, Muchuan was also speechless.
This is the truth, but you are too calm after killing someone, right?
It seems that in Mu Yingchen's eyes, human life is not as important as a steamed bun.
Muchuan was very powerless, he was really powerless.
He really didn't know if he could correct Xiaoying's values in his lifetime.
