Chapter 316: Chapter 216: Assassinating the Key Point

Old Man Chen sneered coldly, "Isn't my leisure thanks to you as well? But it's not too bad, just a brief period of leisure, not for a lifetime. As soon as you fall, I will naturally rise effortlessly. The days ahead are good for me!"

Mu Houchu's voice was cold, "I guess it's a bit early for Old Man Chen to say this."

"Early?" Old Man Chen laughed loudly, "Soon, you'll know that it's not early for me to say this!"

His laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a sharp shout, "Criminal Mu Houchu! You ordered Li Xinhe to assassinate Consort Guifei. The Emperor has ordered that you must be arrested!"

Old Man Chen paused for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "If you insist on resisting, killing you directly is also permissible!"

Obviously, this last sentence was what Old Man Chen truly felt in his heart.

He just wanted Mu Houchu to die.
