Chapter 461: Who Wants to Kill the Emperor?

Not long after, most of the assassins had been subdued by the imperial guards. However, one of the assassins actually circled back and threw a dart at Chu Zai.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yuemu felt that this was the best time for him to show off. He leaped over as he cried out, "Father, be careful!"

Chu Yuemu was certain that with so many experts among the imperial guards, the dart would definitely not hurt his father and him. He only did this to show his filial piety to his father.

As expected, the dart only flew halfway out before it was intercepted by the imperial guards.

The assassins were beheaded on the spot.

Fresh blood splattered everywhere in the hall, and heads rolled, causing many noble ladies to scream.
