Under such circ.u.mstances, if he failed to capture An Jiuyue again, he felt there would be nothing left to say—he would be certain that the heavens had marked him for demise.
“I…”
The old Emperor suddenly did not know what to say.
Qian Jiyun did not seem worried at all, which made the old Emperor wonder if he had made the wrong move.
“I won’t force Your Majesty to make an immediate decision. I’ll give you two days. I’ll come to the imperial study again the day after tomorrow to take Your Majesty’s imperial edict.”
Qian Jiyun did not want to waste any more time here. He had to return to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence and take An Jiuyue to look for the children.
With that, he swaggered away.
“Qian Jiyun!”
The old Emperor felt steam rising from his head as he watched Qian Jiyun leave.
He swept everything on the table to the ground, almost smashing the jade seal.
Qian Jiyun claimed he would not force him, but he said things so bluntly. Was he not forcing him when he said he would get the imperial edict two days later? He had clearly forced him into a desperate predicament.
However, he had nothing but a token to mobilize the Suxi Army.
However, he could not present this token now. He also did not have anyone who could go to the western region with him to take over the Suxi Army and make them follow his orders.
“Shang Ningshen!”
It was all because of Shang Ningshen. It was that b*stard who gave him this information and made him act ahead of time.
He should not have listened to Shang Ningshen. What benefits could the people of the Shang Kingdom bring to Daqing Kingdom?
“Eunuch!”
A vicious glint flashed across his eyes as he shouted out of the study.
Didn’t Qian Jiyun want that unfilial son to rule Daqing Kingdom? He refused to let them have their way!
If Shang Ningshen died at the hands of Qian Jiyun or that unfilial son, would the Emperor of Shang Kingdom spare him?
“Where are the people from Qi Feng Hall? Arrest them all!”
“Arrest them?”
The eunuch, who had just walked in, paused when he heard the Emperor’s words.
The Emperor had valued the people in Qi Feng Hall very much, even addressing them as esteemed guests. Why did he suddenly want to capture them?
Did Prince Zhan Yun say something to the Emperor?
However, that was impossible. The Emperor had always hated Prince Zhan Yun and wished he could kill him quickly. Would the Emperor believe Prince Zhan Yun?
“Your Majesty, the person in Qi Feng Hall is the Prince of Shang Kingdom. Are you sure you want to arrest him?” He thought the Emperor had said something wrong and asked again.
“Do you want me to repeat myself? Capture… No, there’s no need to capture them. Send shadow guards to kill everyone in Qi Feng Hall! Send their corpses to the Shang Kingdom and tell them that Prince Zhan Yun ordered them to kill them!” the old Emperor instructed.
The eunuch was speechless.
Would the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom believe this?
Prince Zhan Yun definitely drove the Emperor insane. If Shang Ningshen died in Daqing Kingdom, war would break out between the two countries. The people of Daqing Kingdom would suffer.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
He refrained from saying what was on his mind and left.
However, he was aware that this was not a simple command to issue. If things went wrong, countless people from both countries would die.
Civil unrest was on the verge of erupting during these turbulent times. If there was another war, Daqing Kingdom’s royal family would probably take on a new surname. Why would the Emperor think of such a crazy thing?
It was too late to inform Prince Zhan Yun. He could only secretly find a trusted eunuch to inform Qi Feng Hall.
