Chapter 1558: Chapter 1558: Let Him Ascend to the Throne Earlier
Indeed, Qian Jiyun is An Tu’s heir, the sovereign of Huayan Peak, while An Jiuyue is the heir to the throne of Prince An Yang. Both are like devils in existence.
If there was no An Tu, where would these two be?
And without these two, wouldn’t the Third Prince be able to kill as he pleases?
“I’ve long known that An Tu, that scoundrel, is nothing but trouble!”
“That old man, he curses with such gusto. There’s not a hint of death about him,” An Jiuyue said as Qian Jiyun protected her and escorted her out.
The voices from within the chamber were naturally unheard by them, but they caught an earful nevertheless, and the speaker was Wei Na.
Wei Na had heard the old emperor’s words loud and clear. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t leave his s.p.a.ce, he would have really wanted to go over and beat the man up to vent his anger.
“What does it matter what he curses? In the end, he’s just a gra.s.shopper after autumn,” An Jiuyue chuckled.
“I can’t stand listening to it, I want to poison him and make him mute,” Wei Na said.
“Master, why don’t you just make him take the Truth Elixir? Wouldn’t he say everything then?” Wei Na was perplexed. With a Truth Elixir, whatever shouldn’t be said would be said. Why the trouble?
“He’s like this?”
An Jiuyue looked down on him with disdain, truly at a loss for words regarding the old emperor.
“With a Truth Elixir, he would simply become an idiot.”
“Who cares if he turns into an idiot? As long as we get to know what we want, isn’t that good enough?” Wei Na pouted and said.
It would be best if he turned into an idiot; then he would stop causing trouble. In the future, everyone could live peacefully, instead of worrying every day about someone dying somewhere.
“The Third Prince still needs the old emperor to ascend to the throne. He can’t go mad now,” An Jiuyue said.
If she didn’t see some use in the old emperor, why would she keep such a person around? She would have coaxed Qian Jiyun to take care of him long ago.
“Then let him ascend to the throne sooner,” Wei Na clamored. Just directly take the throne, and after that, give that old man a medicinal pill and let him turn into an idiot once and for all, no more doing things he shouldn’t.
“Er.”
An Jiuyue was choked by his words, speechless.
“What’s wrong?”
Qian Jiyun heard her voice and looked down to ask her.
“It’s nothing, I was talking to Wei Na. That guy said the old emperor could simply turn into an idiot,” An Jiuyue looked up at him and smiled as she spoke.
“It’s not impossible,” Qian Jiyun said as he bent down to pick her up, tip-toeing towards the direction of Jingyang Palace.
“Ah?”
An Jiuyue almost thought she had misheard.
What did he mean it’s not impossible? The old emperor turning into an idiot, that couldn’t be okay, could it?
But thinking about Prince You who was recently revived by her in Jingyang Palace, she felt it made sense. An idiot could not handle state affairs, and would have to abdicate, right?
“Your idea really might work. Why don’t we just turn the old emperor into an idiot?” she said.
Back then, wasn’t it because Prince You became an idiot that he pa.s.sed the throne to the old emperor’s grandfather? Now if the old emperor went mad, he would have to abdicate; there was a precedent, wasn’t there?
“Let’s ask Eldest Brother Yan later,” Qian Jiyun said, his feet already touching the ground, already within Jingyang Palace.
“What do you want to ask me?”
Eldest Brother Yan was outside. Hearing him, he asked.
“Eldest Brother, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be inside taking care of Prince You?” Qian Jiyun was a bit surprised to see him, then asked.
