"Have that group of people you have hidden outside retreat immediately."

"Since that group wants to storm the Imperial Palace, I will let them enter the Imperial Palace."

Ying Mo continued.

He knew that Ying Zheng must have also arranged hidden forces for tonight. ### CHAPTER 568

"You can arrange a small force to block them, but do not alert them."

Fearing that he might startle the snake, Ying Mo added.

His men had already surrounded the entire city of Xianyang.

He would not let the incident where the man in black escaped from his hands happen again.

Ying Zheng listened to Ying Mo's words, was silent for a moment, and then nodded at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han received Ying Zheng's decree and immediately turned to walk outside.

Fusu had been following Ying Zheng.

After hearing the conversation between these people, he finally knew what was happening tonight.

Huhai had not appeared in the bedchamber rashly tonight.

"Father, are you really going to take action against General Wang and his family?"

Fusu could not help but interject.

General Wang's family—he had just heard what these people said.

Wang Ben participated in the rebellion, but Wang Jian, Old General Wang, remained loyal to the Emperor.

Ying Zheng's gaze shifted to this son of his.

He was now his only son and would be the only successor to his position.

"What is your opinion?"

Ying Zheng asked.

Since his position could only be handed to Fusu, he could only try his best to cultivate Fusu into a qualified monarch.

"Father, Wang Ben rebelled rashly and committed a great offense, but you could spare his life for the sake of General Wang Jian."

Fusu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Wang Ben and Wang Jian still had great reputations in the military.

If Wang Ben were rashly eliminated, it would still cause small-scale unrest.

Fusu believed that in these troubled times, it was better not to cause too much turmoil.

Hearing Fusu's answer, Ying Mo turned his head to look at him.

This younger brother of his.

Since five years ago, he had rarely paid him any attention.

He had not expected him to still have such an attitude of wanting to smooth things over.

Sure enough, after hearing Fusu's answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Do you know what crime Wang Ben committed?"

"Rebellion."

"And what is the punishment for rebellion?"

"Execution of the nine clans."

Ying Zheng and Fusu asked and answered.

"Wang Ben committed the crime of rebellion, yet you want me to spare his life."

"If this were to spread, would my empire not be subject to such turmoil every single day?"

Ying Zheng's eyes held disappointment.

"As an emperor, you must know that the entire empire is under your control."

"What does it matter how much prestige their Wang family has in the military?"

"The entire world is mine; it belongs to our Ying family."

Ying Zheng raised his head, his gaze piercing Fusu's eyes.

The dominance in his tone and the sharpness in his gaze made Fusu take a step back involuntarily.

Even though he and Ying Zheng were biological father and son, he had not inherited a single shred of Ying Zheng's dominance.

"It is this son's lack of consideration."

Fusu said immediately.

"I do not expect you to change immediately; just follow behind and watch."

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze.

The large force led by Eastern Emperor Taiyi soon passed through the entire city of Xianyang and reached the Imperial Palace.

Upon reaching the palace, they saw rows of guards patrolling the gate.

As soon as they made a move, the guards immediately sensed the anomaly.

"Who goes there?"

The guards shouted loudly, and at the same time, everyone picked up their weapons.

The raised torches illuminated half the sky, vaguely revealing the figures on Eastern Emperor Taiyi's side.

The force behind Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not stop; instead, they accelerated and charged toward the guards.

The sound of hooves thundered.

The guards realized something was wrong and immediately retreated to the side, but they could not escape the slaughtering blades.

When the entire palace gate was covered in blood, not a single guard survived.

"Enter and surround the entire Imperial Palace."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi said.

The generals following behind Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked at each other.

They had already reached this point; there was no turning back.

Although they did not know the specific identity of this man in black, his strength was incredibly powerful.

Perhaps this man in black could truly lead them to obtain what they wanted.

Upon reaching the palace gate, Eastern Emperor Taiyi raised his hand and threw something into the sky.

A red dot appeared in the sky.

Feng Quji, who had been watching the area near the palace, saw the red light and his eyes lit up immediately.

"The signal is here."

"Pack up, let's enter the palace quickly."

Feng Quji said, looking at Li Zhen beside him.

Li Zhen's face was somewhat pale; he was freezing and could no longer bear it.

Upon hearing Feng Quji's words, Li Zhen gave a stiff smile.

"Then let's enter the palace quickly; it is simply too cold."

After speaking, he walked out of the room first.

When Eastern Emperor Taiyi stormed the city gate, Ying Zheng and Ying Mo received the news immediately.

All the eunuchs along the way had been transferred away by Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Eastern Emperor Taiyi soon led a large army to surround Ying Zheng's bedchamber.

After surrounding the bedchamber, Eastern Emperor Taiyi sensed something was wrong.

Why had he not seen Huhai's figure yet?

According to their plan, as soon as they entered the palace, Huhai would coordinate with them from the inside.

A flash of surprise crossed Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes, but his movements did not slow.

He pushed open the doors of the bedchamber and walked inside.

The Ghost was not here; no one in the entire palace was his match.

Various images had already flashed through Eastern Emperor Taiyi's mind.

He had not expected that as soon as he opened the doors to Ying Zheng's bedchamber, he would lock eyes with someone.

Ying Mo stood quietly behind Ying Zheng, looking at the man in black who had walked in through the door.

As soon as he saw the man in black's eyes, he immediately recognized him as one of the two who had entered the palace earlier.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi naturally recognized the Ghost's identity, and his eyes widened immediately.

Ghost?

How could he appear here? ### CHAPTER 569
