So when the secret guards found him, he barely hid his identity, which was also a gamble.

If he wins the bet, he will be greeted with glory and wealth; if he loses, the worst thing he can do is get a nod.

"Very good." Shangguan Hong was quite satisfied, "I asked you to be the new head of the Murong family. You know better than me what you should and shouldn't do."

The fact that the Murong family dared to threaten him showed that the power below them was already quite strong. If they didn't change people, they might really be out of his control, and this illegitimate son was the best target he could control.

He has a clean background, has no influence, and has no understanding of royal family matters at all.

The boy didn't seem to expect that he would directly give him such great power. He kowtowed his head to the ground several times and said, "As long as the king is on the horse, he will follow his lead. No matter now or in the future, there will be no second thoughts."

"What's your name?" Shangguanhong felt more comfortable at this time.

"My name is Tianrui." The boy replied while kneeling, with ambition that could not be hidden in his eyes. "From now on, my name will be Murong Tianrui."

The execution day was set in a few days, and Shangguanhong kept Murong Tianrui by his side during these days.

The power of the Murong family goes far beyond that, and the people below are ruthless. He wants to ensure the basic safety of Murong Tianrui after he takes over as the head of the family.

He still needs to learn how to stay safe and protect his life. After all, this is his last token to control the Murong family.

After receiving the news, the Murong family asked for an audience several times, but Shangguanhong sent him away on the pretext of being unwell. It was imperative that he be executed.

The news has spread throughout the palace. Shangguan Ya'an was so anxious that she pulled Shangguan Junhao and refused to let go, "Brother, what should we do now? If mom dies, we will really be doomed!"

If Concubine Yao falls, the life of the brother and sister will not be easy in the future.

"Brother, please speak! What should we do? We must save mom's life no matter what. We must not..."

"Don't make any noise!"

Shangguan Junhao interrupted her chattering, and there was nothing that could be done at this time, "Let's go find Lin Xiyan, she is the only one who can help us speak now."

As long as Lin Xiyan threatens with the power behind her, Shangguanhong may be able to make a slight retreat for the sake of profit.

It doesn't matter if a person is imprisoned, the most important thing is to be alive.

"Lin Xiyan?" Shangguan Ya'an stared at him with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief, "Are you crazy? Lin Xiyan wants us to die, so how could she help us?"

"Brother, don't forget, we owe everything we have today to her."

"Her target is Murong Longcheng. If we go and beg her, we might still have some hope."

Shangguan Junhao and Shangguan Ya'an looked at each other and decided to try their luck.

Lin Xiyan was not surprised to learn that these two brothers and sisters came to her. She had expected them to come, "Princess Ya'an, why don't you go see Concubine Yao before the time comes?"

"Lin Xiyan, your goal is only Murong Longcheng. As long as you can save my mother, I will give you whatever you want from now on!" Shangguan Junhao was unusually humble.

This is completely opposite to his aloof appearance, but unfortunately, Lin Xiyan thinks that she is a hard-hearted person, "I'm sorry, Prince Jun Hao doesn't have what I want."
