The news of victory in the war on the north continued to spread. Mu Zheng and the entire imperial court's Wen Wu were overjoyed. He never thought that Mu Ying and the rest could actually rely on just a small number of people to defeat an army of over three hundred thousand enemy soldiers.

This war has not only established power among nations, but has also increased confidence among nations in their cooperation to defeat the bastion. Because for a long time, the comfort base had flourished due to the national power. It was simply too arrogant, too much bullying.

"As expected of my royal brother. My own son has really contributed a lot to me and has rendered a great merit." This really makes us too happy. " In the palace, Mu Zhuoshi and his team were the leaders of this war, causing Mu Zheng to be overjoyed and praise them endlessly.

"Yes, the Crown Prince had inherited the moral integrity of a man of both martial and civil. This time, he is willing to sacrifice his life to personally go to the battlefield to avenge the Emperor and solve the problems of the citizens. Mu Zhuoshi's uncle and others also took this opportunity to praise Mu Zhuoshi, in order to consolidate his position as the crown prince.

"That's right, Zhuo Qian knows this child. His literary talent is outstanding, and he is extraordinary. Who would've thought that in terms of fighting and marching, this is even more unexpected. This son of mine has the deepest heart of all." Mu Zheng was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, and was full of praise for Mu Zhuoshi.

He had always felt that Mu Zhuoshi was lacking a bit of masculinity, hence after weighing the pros and cons, he sent Mu Zhuoshi to lead the troops to war. Sure enough, this gave him a chance to show that he could defeat the comfort zone and display his military prowess.

Hearing how everyone was praising Mu Zhuoshi, Mu Lingfeng felt extremely disgusted in his heart. He never thought that Mu Zhuoshi's life would be so huge, not only did he not die, he instead made a great contribution.

During this period of time in the imperial court, he had worked hard to win the emperor's favor. This made him confirm his ability and place a deeper level of trust in himself. He thought that victory was already within his grasp and replacing the crown prince would only be a matter of time. However, once the news of victory from the northern border was announced, the emperor's face changed, this Mu Zhuoshi became the person who understood him the most.

Indeed, the Emperor's heart was the most difficult to guess, and his shrewdness was also the deepest. He showed great trust in the court and allowed himself to do his best to deal with the affairs of the court for him. And outside, Mu Zhuoshi was fighting for him. The balance in the middle of him was sometimes left and sometimes right, making it hard for people to guess or feel anything.

"Hmph, I don't want to guess anymore. When the time is right, I will replace the Emperor with the Emperor." Mu Lingfeng looked at Mu Zheng, a trace of greed and ruthlessness flashing past his eyes.

"The Crown Prince is outside defending the emperor from foreign enemies and protecting the peace of the country. The Third Prince is also assisting the Emperor in various political affairs in the imperial court. At this time, the Third Prince's support was not willing to let Mu Zhuoshi steal the limelight, so he hurried over to grab a share.

"Indeed, none of my sons have ever disappointed me." Mu Zheng stroked his beard and laughed out loud.

Mu Zheng laughed, and continued to read the next piece of information, but when his gaze swept past the letter, the smile on his face froze. Originally, this letter meant that Mu Zhuoshi was ambushed by enemies when he was trying to break out of the encirclement, causing him to lose an arm!

"Heavens, why is my son like this?" Mu Zheng could not believe his own eyes. So there was actually such a huge price behind this victory.

"Father, what's wrong?" Mu Lingfeng had already known about Mu Zhuoshi losing his arm and was already waiting to see the emperor's reaction. Speaking of which, he had specifically requested for Minhan Changyang and the rest to take their lives on the battlefield. In the end, he only took one of Mu Zhuoshi's arms and lost the war.

"Your royal brother, he, he actually lost an arm …" Mu Zheng said with incomparable grief. He immediately felt pain, and his eyes turned red.

"Ah, for the sake of the West Cold, for the sake of winning this war, the crown prince gave his arm to the nation. The price is too high." When the civil and military officials heard this, they were filled with grief and pity.

"That's right. After losing an arm, it won't be convenient for the crown prince to do anything else..." The Third Prince's faction also said in a hypocritical manner. He hinted that the crown prince would become a cripple in the future.

"I never thought that royal brother would actually pay such a huge price. I, Chendi, am ashamed of myself. In the future, if there's anything that's inconvenient for royal brother to do, I will be his right-hand man!" Mu Lingfeng feigned righteousness as he spoke, but inside his heart, he was already blooming with joy. They were mocking Mu Zhuoshi for being crippled in the future, making it inconvenient for him to move.

At this time, Mu Zheng was immersed in his sadness, so he didn't think too much about it. His body had been weakening day by day, and he had just experienced a great deal of joy. However, now there was such a great tragedy for him to bear. His entire being was in a state of panic, and his vision was blurring.

"This Emperor's body isn't feeling well. Let's withdraw from the court first." Mu Zheng said, then signaled the Eunuch Qin to come up, and with his support, he retreated.

Seeing Mu Zheng like that, the corners of Mu Lingfeng's mouth rose uncontrollably.
