On the day of the ascension ceremony, the new Emperor was assassinated, leaving hundreds of officials shocked.

It was especially so for the old timers who had already experienced two reigns. This was not the first time they experienced political unrest because the new Emperor died before he could ascend, but the difference was, Emperor Wu’s brother had not even made it to the ascension date.

They quickly followed the Emperor Emeritus into the inner palace. The perpetrator was arrested on the spot and the new Emperor was lying on the floor. There was a knife in his chest and his eyes were wide open, showing his grievance when he died.

King An and Li Xi both had sweaty palms and their hearts were beating like a drum. Originally, they thought it was their own people who acted and were caught. When they followed inside, they were full of excitement and apprehension, however, when they saw who the perpetrator was, they were utterly flabbergasted—Zhong Yue?! 

Emperor Wu looked at Zhong Yue who was looking at his blood covered hands in dismay and said incredulously, “How can this be, how can this…” His heart sank, he immediately understood that Zhong Yue had failed!

Emperor Wu’s vision darkened but was supported by the head eunuch. Having received a shock, he immediately ordered, “You audacious fiend, you actually dare to conspire against the Crown Prince’s life! Kill him for zhen!”

“Wait!”

Before the YuLin guards could approach Zhong Yue, a person appeared in front of the palace.

“Who there, actually daring to trespass into the imperial palace!”

Commander Zhang barked and was about to act but for some reason, his entire person suddenly became stiff and frozen in place. He couldn’t move the slightest bit.

Emperor Wu still remained calm, “Which senior of the Zhong Clan is this?”

However, the person didn’t reply. Instead he rushed to Zhong Yue’s side. His brows were furrowed as he looked at Li Yan lying on the ground and suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief, “Yue’er, he isn’t dead yet.” 

“What?”

Zhong Yue looked at his grandfather with a dumbstruck expression. The Zhong Clan Head repeated, “You weren’t vicious enough, he isn’t dead yet. Do you know what to do?”

Zhong Yue looked at Li Yan, his eyes full of tears and terror. The Zhong Clan Head gripped his shoulders, “This moment decided everything, what are you hesitating for?!”

Zhong Yue finally snapped out of it. He staggered towards Li Yan, his hand gripping the handle of the dagger. However, just as he was about to add another stab— 

“Stop!!”

Emperor Wu subconsciously hollered. The officials were pale with fright but were locked into place by an invisible force. They could only watch on.

At this critical juncture, a black shadow flashed past them and sent Zhong Yue flying with a kick. Zhong Yue knocked into the aged Zhong Clan Head and both of them tumbled to the floor, unable to get up.

“Yue’er!” 

“Clan Head!”

The Zhong Clan members hiding in the dark revealed themselves—originally, they were afraid of interfering with Zhong Yue passing his ordeal, but now they could no longer be concerned with that. Zhong Yue spat a mouthful of blood and sat up while supporting his grandfather. He turned his head and discovered there were two people by Li Yan’s side—Gou Liang sitting in a wheelchair was suturing Li Yan’s wound while Zhong Quan stood to the side holding a sword.
