However, it wasn't over yet. The Grandmaster Mu Qing—now the Empress's father and the Emperor's father-in-law—was also arrested by the Imperial City Department and thrown into the Imperial Prison on charges of treason.
Aside from the Grandmaster and Prince Mu, these two powerful figures, many middle-ranking officials from key departments were also cast into the Imperial Prison; among them, not a few were Chen Mo's people.
Once this news spread, mere uproar was an understatement.
The entire Bianliang was in turmoil.
Everyone was discussing what Chen Mo planned to do.
No matter what, Great Song still bore the Zhao family name, and Chen Mo was still a minister. Yet now, he dared arrest even the Emperor's own father-in-law—he clearly paid no heed to the Emperor or the Imperial Family.
Those following Chen Mo, however, felt somewhat exhilarated; was the Prince sweeping obstacles aside to ascend the throne? Then they would all be the ministers of a rising dragon.
