He had nothing now. The only thing he possessed was the throne. He did not want to hand it over so quickly.
Even if he had no authority, he did not want to hand over the throne to others, especially his unfilial third son.
Eldest Brother Yan pursed his lips again and did not say anything.
He had crushed the Luoyang-Shao family’s influence in the capital overnight. He did not want to give the Shao family a chance to catch their breath.
The four gates of the capital had been sealed. Although the situation was tense, he did not want news from the capital to reach the Luoyang-Shao family.
After a long time, he asked, “Haven’t I always been an unfilial son in your eyes, Father? What’s there to repeat?”
“You… You…” The old Emperor panted heavily as he listened to his son.
He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill his third son. Yet, in his current situation, he was unable to make any plans or take action.
“Go and summon Prince Zhan Yun to the palace,” he said after taking a deep breath.
Since he had no other choice, he could only settle for the second-best option and summon Qian Jiyun to the palace.
If he had to write the abdication edict, so be it. At the very least, the Third Prince would not dare to kill him. He would probably put him under house arrest, but he would still be alive, right?
“Father, you’re wise. I’ll invite Jiyun in now.” Eldest Brother Yan grinned and turned to look outside the imperial study.
Soon, Qian Jiyun entered the imperial study with An Jiuyue.
An Jiuyue glanced around and sighed as she scanned the layout of the imperial study.
“So this is the imperial study? There’s really good stuff everywhere.” She lowered her eyes and chuckled.
However, she did not know which genius had placed these good things in the imperial study. Weren’t they too eager to kill the Emperor?
“Big Brother, has this place always been decorated like this?” she asked Eldest Brother Yan.
“Mhm.” Eldest Brother Yan was a little confused but nodded.
Qian Jiyun understood what his wife meant and asked softly, “Is there a problem, Jiuyue?”
It had been decorated like this ever since he first entered the imperial study. Could there be something indescribable here?
“It’s not a big problem.”
An Jiuyue shook her head and looked at the old Emperor with a mocking smile.
“Prince Luoyang seems to be the youngest in the royal family, right? Your Majesty, the old Princess Consort is so good to you! She made you use Sterility Powder for her.”
“What?!” The old Emperor’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had never heard of the Sterility Powder. What the h.e.l.l was that?
Moreover, this was the imperial study. How could the old Princess Consort do anything here?
However, it had to be said that ever since the old Princess Consort gave birth to Prince Luoyang, none of his concubines had become pregnant with his children.
He a.s.sumed it was because he was injured back then or because his concubines were useless. He never thought it was the old Princess Consort’s doing.
“You’re saying that there’s Sterility Powder in my study? Find out where it is!”
He refused to believe the words of a woman like An Jiuyue. Although he no longer had any love for the old Princess Consort and only felt that she had fooled him, he had once truly loved her.
