Mu Zongping was a little sad. He had high hopes for Mu Xingze but he didn't expect that the final result would be like this. However, he was always cold-hearted.
Since this son has become a useless chess piece, it is better to give it up. After all, he still has a son on his knees, and Liu Lanxin still has another one in her belly.
He can afford to wait.
Mu Zongping breathed a sigh of relief and said in a cool voice: "It is his own fault. Your Highness just needs to do things impartially. I will never have any complaints."
Yuan Shuo said: "With Master Mu's words, I feel relieved. Let's go. I will take you back."
Mu Zongping thanked him and followed Yuan Shuolin out of the palace.
At this time, the Mu family and the Royal Forest Army had already arrived, but they were very polite and did not break into the general's mansion without permission. Instead, they informed the old lady first.
The old lady hurried over and saw the leader of the Royal Forest Guards holding His Majesty's token and saying: "Your Majesty has a decree to capture Mu Xingze, the eldest young master of the Mu family. Please forgive me."
The old lady was startled and asked, "I wonder what Xingze did?"
Yu Linwei said: "Mu Xingze colluded with the deposed prince and tried to cause chaos and disrupt the imperial court. Your Majesty has decreed that Mu Xingze be arrested and everyone in the second room of the Mu family should be grounded."
When the old lady heard that the deposed prince was making trouble with the examiner, she roughly understood what was going on. She turned sideways and let them in and said, "Thank you."
Only then did the Royal Forest Guards lead their men in and pulled out the still-hangover Mu Xingze.
Mu Xingze didn't know what was going on. He was disheveled and looked at the imperial guards in front of him with surprise and shouted angrily: "What are you going to do?"
However, the Royal Guard didn't talk nonsense to him and gave an order: "Take him away."
The sound alarmed the people in the second room. Li, Liu Lanxin and Mu Yunhuan all rushed over. They were shocked when they saw the situation in front of them.
Liu Lanxin asked curiously: "I wonder why the officials want to arrest our young master?"
The Royal Forest Guard glanced at her and said: "The eldest young master of the Mu family colluded with the deposed prince and will try to cause chaos. Your Majesty has decreed that he be captured and imprisoned. The second room of the Mu family and others are banned from entering the house and are not allowed to leave the house."
Li's expression changed after hearing this, and she wanted to save her son, but Mu Yunhuan stopped her firmly.
Mu Xingze knew that the matter had been leaked when he heard about the rebellion. He panicked and shouted that he was wronged and was taken out of the house. He saw his father face to face.
He shouted: "Dad, save me, my son is wronged."
When Mu Zongping saw his son, it was not that he felt pain in his heart, but the crown prince had been deposed, and their second wife's backer had fallen.
He couldn't save his son either.
Mu Zongping turned away and pretended not to see it.
Seeing this, Mu Xingze's heart gradually became cold. He no longer struggled or shouted, and just let the imperial guards take him away in despair.
He knew that his father had given up on him. He should have known that in his father's eyes, there was only power and never family affection.
He should listen to his sister.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. He lost, completely!
