Noble Consort Ji’s entire body stiffened as she looked at Prime Minister Yan in disbelief. What did he mean by that?
Prime Minister Yan didn’t notice Noble Consort Ji’s gaze at all. He sneered and continued, “Unfortunately, it seems like His Majesty has already forgotten all about our Yan Family’s kindness. Now that the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys will be cooked.”
The Emperor was speechless. “Kindness?”
“You call that a favor?”
It was true that he had mobilized the troops back then, but he had never thought of seizing the throne, let alone taking his brother’s life!
Rong Yan mocked them. “You know that you’re a dog.”
“Why are you biting back at Master now?”
Prime Minister Yan felt that he should not argue with a child. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to draw their swords.
“Your Majesty, there’s no need to stall for time. I know that you’re waiting for Commander Han.”
“It’S a pity that the batch of weapons they escorted has already reached my hands.”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes. “So you…” He looked at the Crown Prince again. “You really have the intention to rebel?”
This time, it was the Crown Prince who spoke. “Father, I’m the Crown Prince of Great Xia and your eldest son. This world should belong to me. How can I not take it?
The Emperor sighed. “Since you know this logic, why can’t you wait?” The Crown Prince laughed loudly. “Wait? Wait for what? Wait for you to completely get rid of the Yan Family?”
Eunuch De couldn’t stand it anymore. “Your Highness, you’re the Crown Prince of Great Xia, not the Yan Family!”
The Crown Prince took out the guard’s sword and threw it over. “How dare a eunuch criticize me?”
Rong Yan kicked the sword away. The Emperor said in disappointment, “You look down on Dezi, but you don’t understand the logic he understands.” No one came to save him even now. It seemed that Prime Minister Yan was right.
They could not carry weapons in the court. Now that they were unarmed, the other party did not come with good intentions. How could they reverse this obvious advantage and disadvantage?

Was it because the Empress was drugged?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Rong Yan’s voice. After hearing what he said, the Emperor felt much more at ease.
It was also at this moment that the Crown Prince’s cold gaze landed on Noble Consort Ji. He personally drew his sword and was about to swing it down when that familiar “woof” interrupted him again in a flash.
This time, Walnut did not show any mercy and scratched the Crown Prince until he bled.
“It’s you again, bastard!”
Walnut remembered his Master’s orders and took it upon itself to protect Noble Consort Ji. At this moment, it didn’t forget to push her towards the Emperor. Noble Consort Ji was originally unaccustomed to getting close to the Emperor and did not plan to get close to Rong Yan in front of others, so she moved over after being pushed by Walnut.
In the current situation, she could not be pretentious. She could not let herself be used by others.
She moved extremely quickly and didn’t hesitate at all. It was already impossible for the Crown Prince to avoid the others and take down Noble Consort Ji when he got rid of the Walnut. He wanted to kill this hindering dog to vent his anger, but time was tight and he couldn’t do that.
However, when he wanted to let this dog off, the dog provoked him.
As the most active member of the hall, Walnut alternated between swatting the Crown Prince, bumping into Prime Minister Yan, and turning around to bite those rebel generals. It was so busy that the originally serious and tense atmosphere became absurd.
The Emperor glanced at Noble Consort Ji, who was standing beside him, and cleared his throat. “Are you afraid?”m
Noble Consort Ji looked down at her son’s shadow and shook her head firmly. “I’m not afraid.”
The Emperor could only swallow the second half of his words “If you’re afraid, stand next to me”.
“Enough!” Prime Minister Yan, who had been angered, roared angrily. All the weapons were aimed at Walnut at the same time. Walnut saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly jumped away. It ran out. It smelled Master nearby. If it was in danger, Master would definitely save it and send it back to the space!
A few rebel generals chased after it under Prime Minister Yan’s instructions. The Crown Prince and Prime Minister Yan turned around again and saw that Rong Yan and a few guards had already snatched the rebel general’s sword. The two of them did not mind. In their opinion, the Emperor and the others were just struggling on the verge of death.
“Before entering the palace, I’ve already set off the signal fireworks of the Yan Family. I’m not afraid to tell Your Majesty that half of the officials in the Imperial Capital now belong to the Yan Family. We can use private soldiers far beyond the Royal Guards that we can mobilize in a short period of time.” “Doesn’t His Majesty hate to see people suffer the most? Back then, you kept saying that you wanted to seek benefits for the people of Great Xia and even took on the title of usurping the throne to sit in this position. Why can’t you bear to give it up now?”
There was a lot of information in these words. Xiaoxiao, who was familiar with the plots of the various novels, accurately analyzed and concluded that the Emperor had fought with Emperor Wen for the throne to stabilize the country, but the person who killed Emperor Wen was Prime Minister Yan.
It was actually quite good that Rong Yan did not have a grudge against the Emperor for killing his father.
Otherwise, he would have to fight and kill the Emperor in the future. When would revenge be done?
Prime Minister Yan’s men approached the Emperor and the others.
Prime Minister Yan pointed at Noble Consort Ji. “Take her down first.”
The Emperor and Rong Yan shouted at the same time, “Wait.”
Prime Minister Yan stroked his beard. “Your Majesty, have you changed your mind?”
The Emperor was decisive in other matters, but it was a pity that he had been unable to resist the charm of a beauty for so long.
A woman’s benevolence made a hero short of breath.
However, this was a good thing for him.
The Emperor coughed lightly. “Give it to me.”
Prime Minister Yan did not suspect anything and threw the blank imperial edict over.
Rong Yan caught it, checked it, and handed it to the Emperor. The Emperor sat
in front of the table in a dignified manner. “Dezi, grind the ink.”
The Crown Prince thought to himself that his father did not forget to put on
airs at a time like this, but he could only watch as he dawdled.
When the Emperor finally finished writing the imperial edict and stamped it, Prime Minister Yan’s men were about to take it when the Emperor slapped the table. “It’s stamped wrongly.”
He picked up the jade seal he had just used and looked at it carefully. “This is the fake one.”
Prime Minister Yan said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, I advise you not to play any tricks.”
The Emperor glared at him. “Don’t you know that the jade seal has just been lost? Can I put it on the desk?”
Prime Minister Yan took a deep breath. “Then where is the real jade seal?”
The Emperor fell silent. “I’ll tell you if you swear not to hurt anyone in the hall.” Prime Minister Yan smiled. “Your Majesty, do you think you have the right to negotiate with me now?”
The Emperor sighed. “Then I’ll take a step back. Let Noble Consort Ji and Third Prince off.”
The corners of Prime Minister Yan’s lips curled up. “Your Majesty, you didn’t forget to save the damsel in distress before you died. Why? Are you willing to die to protect Noble Consort Ji?”
The Emperor glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “You make it sound like
you have no intention of killing me.”
He glanced at Noble Consort Ji and decided to take this opportunity to say something that he didn’t have the chance to say in the past. No one would believe him even if he said it.
“When we attacked the palace back then, my brother was still alive.”
I promised Brother to take good care of her.”
“I’m not joking.”
“If I can’t do it, I won’t be able to face him.”
Noble Consort Ji’s entire body trembled—it was actually like that?
Noble Consort Ji recalled how the Emperor had treated her all these years and actually couldn’t have any doubts. However, Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince only felt that it was ridiculous and didn’t believe it at all.
In their opinion, the Emperor was just lustful. They pretended to agree, but
they did not plan to abide by the agreement at all.
After all, Noble Consort Ji knew too much. Only a dead person could keep a secret..
