After hearing Chen Mu’s words, the three kneeling Cabinet Ministers also darkened their expressions.
They didn’t want to be drawn into the dispute, but Chen Mu suddenly made it clear that he couldn’t tolerate them, forcing them to take a stand on the other side. Immediately, someone said in a deep voice: "The matter of succession has not yet been decided, please be careful with your words, Your Highness."
Boom!
But as soon as these words fell, the door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a group of yellow-clad, sword-bearing imperial guards poured in, surrounding the entire room.
The leader approached Chen Mu, paying deep respect to him.
"Minister Zhao Mu, Commander of the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army, greets Your Majesty and reports to Your Majesty that Commander Qi of the Capital Guard Camp and Commander Lu of the Five Cities Military Department have arrived outside the court, awaiting Your Majesty’s command."
With these words.
Everyone in the room was visibly shocked.
"How could this be?!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
It wasn’t surprising that Zhao Mu would acknowledge Chen Mu as his master, as Zhao Mu was a trusted confidant personally groomed by the late Emperor and a Commander of the Forbidden Army, only obeying the orders of the late Emperor.
