“Then I must’ve misunderstood. Your Majesty is deeply saddened right now. In that case, the Eldest Prince can rest in peace in heaven. He won’t be troubling anyone’s sleep,” he said.
“You—” The Emperor was about to vomit blood.
What did Qian Jiyun mean? If he were not sad, the Eldest Prince would be unable to rest in peace and would come looking for him every night?
The Eldest Prince had refused to hand over his great authority and even joined forces with his mother’s clan to seize the throne. How could the Emperor tolerate this? He was already being extremely benevolent by not accusing him and allowing him to die with some dignity.
Who would dare to criticize him?
“Qian Jiyun, what do you mean? Are you rebelling?” He slammed the table and stood up, questioning Qian Jiyun.
“Uh-huh.” Qian Jiyun did not deny it and shrugged.
“You… How dare you!”
Qian Jiyun’s expression shocked the old Emperor.
He really had the audacity to admit it! Was he really willing to do anything for the Third Prince?
“I’m the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom. If anything happens to me, the Qian family will be exterminated!”
He was a little afraid now. He felt that he should have asked the shadow guards to launch a direct attack. Qian Jiyun’s treasures were not as important as his life.
Qian Jiyun would truly dare to attack him. The royal authority meant nothing to him.
“My surname isn’t Qian. What does the destruction of the Qian family have to do with me?”
Since the conversation had reached this point, there was no need for Qian Jiyun to hold back anymore. He looked at the old Emperor with cold eyes.
“Your Majesty, there’s no need to rely on your shadow guards anymore. They’ve long since reported to the King of Hell. Instead of counting on them, you might as well rely on yourself to kill me.”
“You… You…” The old Emperor trembled.
He knew. He had known all along. But there was no commotion outside, not even a scream. How could Qian Jiyun kill all the shadow guards lying in ambush outside?
He wondered if Qian Jiyun was just scaring him. The shadow guards outside were probably still lying in ambush.
Upon considering this possibility, he hurled the teacup in his hand forcefully, signaling the shadow guards to attack. This was not the original plan; the shadow guards were instructed to only act once Qian Jiyun left the imperial study.
However, the Emperor could not wait any longer. He was already panicking because of Qian Jiyun’s words.
Despite waiting for a long time, the shadow guards outside did not enter. He had a bad feeling.
He looked up at Qian Jiyun and questioned coldly, “What did you do?”
“Shouldn’t Your Majesty have guessed by now? They want to kill me, so naturally, I have to resist, right?” Qian Jiyun spoke casually, as if he were chatting with the old Emperor.
The old Emperor was speechless.
Who the hell wanted to kill him? The shadow guards had yet to do anything. They had not even shown themselves. How could they possibly have wanted to kill him?
Besides, he did not hear Qian Jiyun resist at all. He was shocked. How did Qian Jiyun kill so many shadow guards silently?
“You… How dare you…”
He slumped down on the chair as if he had lost all his strength.
“Qian Jiyun, what are you trying to do?”
