On the day of the wedding.
The Crown Prince's residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
Gao Tu and Imperial Concubine Mu were sitting side by side on the high seats as they stared complacently at the newlyweds.
As for Mu Wushuan's master, he and Mu Xingchou sat below Gao Tu with a satisfied smile on their faces.
Apart from that, two of the most distinguished seats had been set up in the main hall. The two people in the seats were a handsome man and a beautiful woman with outstanding temperaments. However, in contrast to the joyous atmosphere, the two of them remained expressionless. Their expressions were elegant and noble.
"Lord Prime Minister, something has happened. Something terrible has happened!"
Just as the ceremony was nearing its end, a hurried voice rang out from outside the main hall.
A servant from the Prime Minister's residence stumbled into the hall. He was so anxious that his forehead was drenched in sweat and he almost fell to the ground.
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent as everyone's eyes focused on the servant.
Mu Xingchou's expression turned ugly as he asked, "What happened?"
"Lord Prime Minister," The servant knelt on the ground with a thud and replied while sweating profusely, "Our Prime Minister's residence … The Prime Minister's residence has been destroyed by a group of people!"
Bang!
Mu Xingchou slammed the table fiercely and rose to his feet. His old face was ashen as he asked, "Who would be so audacious as to destroy the Prime Minister's residence?"
Especially during his granddaughter's wedding.
Who was it that had such a deep grudge against the Mu Clan?
Suddenly, a possibility emerged in his heart and he could not help but grit his teeth. "Yun Luo, it must be that bastard!"
Yun Luo had sent people to flatten the residence over ten years ago. He never expected that he would do the same thing again over ten years later.
The funny thing was that this tactic was useless against him. The residence could be rebuilt even if it was destroyed and the loss was not that great.
Just as Mu Xingchou was deep in thought, another hurried voice rang out from outside the main hall, "Lord Prime Minister, something has happened. Something big has happened!"
Just as these words were spoken, a man dressed in green robes rushed into the hall. He was panting and sweating profusely, perhaps because he had run all the way.
"What happened now?" Mu Xingchou asked impatiently.
"Lord Prime Minister, all of our properties in the Imperial City have been burned down!"
"What?"
Mu Xingchou staggered and sat down on a chair. He clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Did you see what kind of bandits burned down my Mu Clan's property?"
The green-robed man wiped the sweat off his forehead and said anxiously, "Prime Minister, I don't think they are bandits. They look like well-trained soldiers."
"Soldier?"
Mu Xingchou furrowed his brows. Yun Luo's real power had already been taken back by His Majesty. It was impossible for him to still have soldiers in his hands! Could it be that the people who destroyed the Prime Minister's residence and burned down all of his properties wasn't Yun Luo?
"They are soldiers. They even call themselves the Steel Flame Legion."
Steel Flame Legion?
Why had he never heard of this name before?
Mu Xingchou's heart gradually sank. He would rather Yun Luo was the one who had done all this than him being clueless about it! He didn't even know who he had offended!
Seeing Mu Xingchou's pale old face, Imperial Concubine Mu hurriedly stood up. She turned around and knelt in front of Gao Tu. She wept and said, "Your Majesty, those bastards caused trouble at Wushuang's wedding. They must not want Wushuang to marry the Crown Prince. Moreover, they have gone too far. Your Majesty, please uphold justice."
