The gleam in Ling Feng's eyes brightened as though he remembered something important, "Master, now is the time to use those competent people that we have secretly nurtured in the Imperial Court!"

Mu Houchu coldly snorted, "Without giving him the seal, how could the Emperor believe me? After giving him the power, the Emperor won't be able to handle it all by himself, he doesn't have the ability to deal with all of it. In the end, he would have to delegate the power to someone. And this time, he must have learned his lesson; he would distribute the power among different people."

Mu Houchu rhadly took out his prime minister seal from his pocket, "If the Emperor feels that I wield too much power, he can take it all back and choose someone capable to lead. I'm already tired of all the bloody drama of the governance. I would like to request the Emperor to grant me permission to return to my hometown."

"It was Old Man Chen who requested my silence. He once saved my life, and took care of me when I was young. I wanted to repay him this one time, to spare him. So, I stripped him of his power, allowing him to retire and spend his remaining years in the comfort of his home. In doing so, I considered it as my repayment to him and also fulfilled the Emperor's orders. Yet you chose to let a wolf into your residence, freezing everyone's hearts." Mu Houchu scoffed.

Mu Houchu casually tossed a document towards him, "The commander of the imperial guards was just a scapegoat. The real culprit who conspired with Gongsun Yi is none other than Old Man Chen. I have even gathered all the evidence."

"Believe it because I am standing here without a scratch," Mu Houchu replied calmly. "Didn't Old Man Chen assure the Emperor that he killed me? But here I am, safe and sound. Isn't this the best evidence?"

The Emperor felt a chill pass through his heart, his face turned pale in an instant.

"Because Old Man Chen has no intention of killing me. The Emperor must be well aware of my past – I was once a tool trained by him to kill. He would often say that I was his best creation. He wants to keep me, to use me for something grand." Mu Houchu spoke, his voice as cold as ever. Even when speaking such cruel words, he spoke as if talking about another person's matter.

"Old Man Chen was indeed ordered to arrest me, and he even wanted to use the Mind-Losing Powder to harm me. He had a planted a marker in my body years ago with this herbal medicine. For any bystander, that powder has little effect, but for me, even a slight touch could be lethal. Even so, why do you think I am still alive?" Mu Houchu asked and gave a sardonic smile.

With a glance, Mu Houchu answered him, "The Emperor thought I was dead? As the saying goes, 'see the living for certain and the dead for sure', how could the Emperor simply believe someone else's word that I am dead, particularly when it's just coming from Old Man Chen? I remember, I have told you before, the most imperative thing one should not do in this court is to easily trust others. Have you not been disadvantaged too often in the past and learned better by now?"

"Don't you think it's a pity to give up? Since you've come this far, are you willing to just give up like this? If you want to fight for it, I'll help you." Xin He looked at him with unwavering determination.

Turning to look at her, Mu Houchu said, "I put him on the throne."

"It's the result of the Chen and Shen families working together. To them, the Emperor is the real master behind the scenes, but he is also a puppet," Mu Houchu's voice was indifferent.

But ironically, she had fallen in love with this man so deeply that it reached her bones. Xin He didn't understand why that was.

Mu Houchu laughed: "What else? After we get married, we will naturally have children. We'll have to have several, and see if they want to study literature or learn martial arts. Either way, I can teach them, and Xiao Bei will also have a few playmates. Yes, it's quite nice."

The smile at the corner of Mu Houchu's lips turned slightly cold as he looked at Xin He menacingly: "Then who do you want to have children with?"

With a helpless smile, Mu Houchu knew that the little woman was quite angry now, so he had to coax her gently: "It's my fault, I'll accept whatever punishment you want later on. But you do need to nurse your body well. If not, you may have many difficulties later on, especially when..."
