Cheng Yan took a step back. She couldn't believe that the emperor's palace actually had a tunnel, and that Mo Yan actually knew where it was.

How did you know where the tunnel was?

"Because I am the Empress, guards! Seize these two traitors!"

Mo Yan said something indifferently, and suddenly many people appeared from the secret passage and captured Cheng Yan.

As for Yuan Ce, who was still thinking of resisting, Mo Yan went over and kicked him over.

"As a prince, how could someone so incompetent dare to rebel?"

Mo Yan's disdainful gaze infuriated Yuan Ce, but he could only watch her, because he had already been captured.

At that moment, the palace door was opened, and everyone immediately entered.

Yuan Ling had only one thought: they really came too late. If these two people hadn't been so brain-dead, and if Mo Yan hadn't come, he probably would be dead by now.

A farcical power struggle has come to a miraculous end.

"Cheng Yan is all your fault! Why can't you just poison him to death? Why do you have to come here every day to feed him medicine and pretend to be a good person!"

Yuan Ce was furious. They had a chance to succeed, but it was all ruined because of Cheng Yan.

"You blame me? You blame me because you're incompetent? I had everything planned out perfectly, but who knew there would be unexpected events?" She had already received the script to complete the game, so where exactly did things go wrong?

"I understand." Cheng Yan suddenly looked at Yuan Ce. "You are the problem. You should die. You should be poisoned by my own hands."

"Start over! Start over! I want to refresh the story and start over!" Cheng Yan had gone crazy at this point, constantly shouting that she wanted to start over.

Yuan Ce: "???" What the heck? Poison him? What kind of collaborator did he find?

"Alright, take them away." Mo Yan didn't even want to look anymore; they were just two idiots.

The two were immediately thrown into the imperial prison, and Mo Yan looked at Yuan Ling.

"Your Majesty, how does it feel to have a little green on your head?"

Yuan Ling: "..."

"Mo Yan, it's so good that you came back and turned the tide. You still love me after all, don't you?"

"You're overthinking it. I just feel that if you die, my son will become a target. After all, the emperor is too young, and others are more likely to have ulterior motives."

But it's different when you're around. You see, if you're here, those plotting to usurp the throne will only come after you. Isn't that great? That's the only use you have.

You were actually poisoned! Have you fallen into a trap of infatuation and lost all your sense of reason?

You relied on me back then, but so many years have passed, and you haven't made any progress at all?

Mo Yan looked at Yuan Ling with disdain. Seeing his confident demeanor, she thought he was really capable of doing something earth-shattering, but he almost got himself killed.

Yuan Ling: "..."

"I had a good plan. I thought that since Cheng Yan wanted to cooperate with me, I would just let things take their course."

I told her to contact Yuan Ce and then take advantage of the situation to win him over. How could I have known that Cheng Yan was just a fence-sitter, completely indecisive?

I never expected that Ning Yixuan would know how to use incense, which drove me crazy and made me go looking for her, and in the end, things went awry..."

Ultimately, it was his carelessness. "But don't worry, if I died, those two would definitely not succeed. I had already pressed the button. Everyone knows there's something fishy about my death, and they won't succeed."

Perhaps wanting to save face, Yuan Ling quickly spoke to Mo Yan.
