the truth?

Understanding that there was no longer any benefit to this performance, Gu Jongwei stood up calmly and returned to his previous position without paying attention.

He looked at Su Lin silently and said, "Hurry up, Your Highness, and go into seclusion."

At this point, Gu Jongwei stopped speaking, his face clearly indifferent and he added calmly.

"Your Highness does not need to worry about state affairs, we, your subjects, will take care of everything."

"The only thing that we and all the people of the Shu Dynasty wish for is for you to quickly become stronger and one day avenge the late emperor."

At this moment, the other officials, upon hearing Gu Jongwei's words, looked at each other, unable to control themselves and burst into collective laughter.

 "That's right, prince, don't worry about trivial matters, let your subjects worry about them~"

"Yes, yes, after all the prince has more important things to do, huh~, thinking about his late majesty makes me sad"

"Woah… why did you leave, emperor?"

You play music and I sing, in an instant the majestic throne hall turned into a farce as everyone was mocking Su Lin and treating him like a joke.

At this moment, none of the officials took Su Lin seriously anymore.

Su Lin looked at these people who were treating him like a clown and snorted in displeasure.

In this case, since everyone had thrown pretense behind their heads, and playing was no longer fun, there was no reason to go along with this farce.

 "Let's end this now," Su Lin thought to himself, but after a moment of thought, he shook his head and muttered calmly, "As professionals, let's end this scene well."

Even if they lacked professionalism.

"Humph," Su Lin snorted in annoyance and stood up lazily from his throne, his gaze sweeping over everyone present and casually asked.

"Do you mean I should just shut up and be a puppet emperor quietly?"

"Huh!"

Su Lin's question shocked everyone present, and they all fell silent and no one spoke anymore.

"Hmm?" Gu Jung Wei's eyes narrowed and he didn't understand what was going on.

He didn't expect the Seventh Prince to speak in such a straightforward manner and put all the cards on the table.

The Seventh Prince wasn't in a position to reveal their plans as it wouldn't benefit him at all, on the contrary, it would only make him worse.

The best thing the Seventh Prince should have done was to pretend that nothing had happened and wait for the right time to turn the tables. But now...

"It seems I was wrong, the Seventh Prince was no different from the others," Gu Jung Wei shook his head in disapproval.

How Gu Jung Wei expected that the next moment the other officials would regain their consciousness and all frown in unison.

They looked at Gu Jung Wei with displeasure and anger, as this situation was different from what the Prime Minister had told them before.

However, Gu Jung Wei responded to them with an indifferent look, forcing them to prepare their calm, and remember that the person in front of him was not an easy bone like the Seventh Prince.

So they turned their gaze back to Su Lin.

One of the officials came forward and said to Su Lin with a smile, "That's right, Prince, we want you to shut up and become a puppet, will Your Highness please go back to seclusion quietly?"

"Or would you rather us ministers help Your Highness go?"

 Another person stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Why are you talking so much, let's just shut him up and put him in the dungeon, then we can do whatever we want."

"Well, that's right too," the former official laughed loudly.

"Well, very good," Su Lin nodded in satisfaction, this was the ending he wanted.

The sad prince whose throne was usurped and the ministers who were happy with the situation, it was good~.

"Huh?, Do you agree?" the former official asked in astonishment, the next moment a burst of contemptuous laughter, and the other officials followed suit with laughter.

They had initially expected that he would resist so hard that it would cause some problems in the situation, since the Su family was not the only royal family in the capital.

If the other kings of the Shu Dynasty found out about the situation and intervened, it would lead to an unknown outcome.

For them, this was the worst-case scenario, and they would rather it not happen unless it was framed.

 Unlike the officials who were happy after a moment of stunned, Gu Jung Wei regained his clarity and frowned.

At this time, he had a bad feeling deep in his soul.

He looked at the expression on Su Lin's face and a hint of caution appeared in his eyes.

From the way the Seventh Prince could easily deduce their goal, it meant that he was no fool.

Like in that situation when he saw that he didn't take his words and the matter of avenging the late emperor seriously.

Now looking at Su Lin's expression, he didn't have an ounce of worry even in this situation that you could call checkmate.

On the contrary, the look in his eyes showed that he didn't care about what was happening and didn't care about his current situation, even his expression had a hint of playfulness that was frightening in its look.

Gu Jung Wei felt a chill all over his body.

He had originally thought that the Seventh Prince would not be able to escape the consequences of being a puppet emperor, but now he had a feeling that they were the puppets and that they were dancing in the Seventh Prince's hands.

Gu Jongwei was the Prime Minister of the Shu Kingdom not without reason, the moment he felt something was wrong, he quietly retreated behind the officials and silently looked at what was happening from behind.

After Su Lin felt satisfied, he raised his eyes and looked at the officials' faces filled with mockery and ridicule and felt a little bored inside.

The scene was over, why are they still not kneeling before him, the Great Emperor!?

"Humph," Su Lin snorted in disdain, raising his right hand towards her and lowering it slightly as if he was pressing the ground.

In the next moment, a suffocating and majestic pressure like mountains spread from his body towards the officials without mercy.

Boom!

Under the terrifying pressure, the officials were unable to resist at all and in an instant, all the officials knelt face down on the ground without exception.

At this moment, whether one was at the Qi Refining Realm or at the Foundation Building Realm, they were all helpless in front of Su Lin's strength at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

In the next second, the sounds of bones breaking spread throughout the throne room, and some of the weaker members couldn't bear it and spat out a large mouthful of blood, their eyes rolling back and they fainted.

The stronger ones raised their eyes with difficulty and looked towards Su Lin in astonishment, disbelief, confusion and fear.

At this time, the people standing at the peak of the Shu Dynasty were crushed to the ground and their bodies prostrated in Su Lin's direction helplessly.

Su Lin looked at them with an indifferent look, although he could have played the helpless prince game with them out of boredom, but there was no need for that.

 At this moment, he wanted to play the Great Emperor's game, after all, unlike the helpless prince, the Great Emperor could have it all.

Thinking of the twin sisters, as well as the beautiful women who were eagerly awaiting his arrival, Su Lin no longer cared about playing with these men.

Meanwhile, Gu Jung Wei who was also kneeling in the back opened his eyes wide in shock, his gaze saying, "As expected," drawn all over his face.

The feeling of the incredible power that distorted the void emanating from Su Lin spread a sense of fear in his heart.

But the source of the fear was not from the great power that Su Lin displayed, but because no one knew about the power that the Seventh Prince possessed.

He had followed the previous emperor since the beginning, before he even ascended to the throne when he was the crown prince.

That was why the previous emperor trusted him with everything and made him the prime minister, leaving him to take care of all the affairs of state while he went on to indulge in debauchery.

 That's why he knew everything that was happening in the Shu Dynasty and nothing was hidden from him, he knew all the dark secrets and things unknown to the common people.

From the beginning, he had been monitoring the progress of this prince who was said to be the most talented person to have passed through the Shu Dynasty in the past thousand years.

This was not wrong because not a week ago, the Seventh Prince had reached the Foundation Construction Realm at the age of twenty, making her the youngest person among all the Foundation Construction Realm immortal cultivators in the entire Shu Kingdom.

At least that was in public, but what did he see in front of him at this time, the prince who was supposed to be in the Foundation Construction Realm, turned out to be at the Golden Core or even higher!

But what did this mean? The prince who was supposed to be just someone who didn't care about anything other than cultivating immortality, was able to hide his strength from everyone.

Why did he do this!?

Could it be…
