Chapter 206: Weak Palace Maid VS Eunuch Brother (15)

"You two siblings are just treating me as if I don't exist?" Ying'er waved her hand, her expression full of dissatisfaction.

She was treated as a treasure by the emperor, but she was treated as if she didn't exist by the palace maid and eunuch in front of her. It was really infuriating.

Ju Heng choked up and said, "Your Majesty, wealth and glory are now within your reach. I only ask you to send Shi Yi out of the palace safely."

"I will not break my promise to you, Eunuch Ju." Ying'er found her own sense of existence in Ju Heng's humility.

"I..." Shi Yi wanted to stubbornly insist on not leaving the palace, but she clearly saw the danger in Ju Heng's eyes.

Ju Heng looked at her and shook his head gently, hoping that she would not insist.

Shi Yi looked at him and saw something in his eyes, as if he was telling her that the world of the harem, or the entire Kyoto, was about to change.

"Don't waste your time. Your brother is really worried about you." Ying'er patted the table and said without any objection: "Leave the palace tonight."

She Ying'er was not a person who took advantage of others. It was Ju Heng who gave her the conditions and opportunities so that she could get to where she is today. He felt relieved after sending his sister away, and she felt relieved after fulfilling her promise.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on getting what you wished for." Shi Yi wiped away her tears and left the side hall with red eyes.

"What does she mean?" Ying'er looked at her with a puzzled look on her face. "I sent her out of the palace, and she blamed me?"

"Shi Yi meant that Your Majesty will soon be crowned as the Queen." Ju Heng had a relaxed smile on his face, and the pressure on his body seemed to be relieved at once.

"I am pregnant with a dragon seed, so the position of Queen is naturally mine." Ying'er was unhappy when she saw his happy look and told him to get out.

Ju Heng smiled and didn't care. He walked out of the hall easily, looking at the gradually darkening sky, knowing that the time he wanted had finally come.

When he heard that Shi Yi had safely left the palace and was settled, he completely relaxed.

Seeing his master's happy face, Xiao Yunzi couldn't help but be happy too.

"At midnight, you take people to guard the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and don't let anyone inside come out, not even one." Ju Heng gave him an order.

"Why?" Xiao Yunzi asked, and seeing his master's solemn expression, he suddenly realized that something must be happening in the harem.

"Swords have no eyes, protect yourself." Ju Heng warned, and left through the secret door wearing a cloak.

Xiao Yunzi looked at the dark door and nodded timidly, realizing belatedly that something big must have happened in the palace at midnight.

In the Qianqing Palace, Ying'er had already eaten three bowls of rose milk soup, but the emperor hadn't come back yet. She was a little anxious, and pulled the maid closest to her out to inquire.

When the emperor was with her before, she didn't feel anything. But now that the emperor has been away for a while, she has been a little worried.

"Why are you back again?" Ying'er asked the maid who had returned.

"Eunuch Xiao Yunzi at the door said that the emperor and eunuch Wang went to General Yan's mansion and will not be back until midnight. For your safety, we are not allowed to leave the palace." The maid replied with her eyebrows lowered.

Ying'er thought that the emperor did say this at the door of the palace during the day, and there was a eunuch under Ju Heng guarding the door, so she was less worried. So she stopped tossing.

General Yan's mansion.

"You are finally here." The housekeeper saw the black shadow and immediately welcomed him in.

"This is what the general wanted." Ju Heng took something out of his sleeve and quickly handed it to the housekeeper. The light of the lantern was dim and only the bright yellow color could be seen clearly.

"If the general succeeds, he will not treat you unfairly." The housekeeper patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

"I hope the general will not forget what he promised me." Ju Heng pulled his cloak and disappeared into the darkness again.

The old housekeeper looked at the dark night, shook his head alone, and then trotted to the study.

"General, it's me." The old housekeeper whispered outside the door guarded by the heavy army.

"Come in." General Yan nodded, and General Chen, who was guarding the door of the study, opened the door for him.

"Something sent from the palace." The housekeeper handed it to him personally.

"Your Majesty, if you don't write it now, you won't have a chance to write it in the future." General Yan, whose hair was already gray, spread the blank imperial edict in front of the emperor, his eyes indifferent without a trace of emotion.

"I will never abdicate to traitors." The emperor didn't expect that General Yan, who was already in his seventies, would have such ambitions! So when he came, he only brought Eunuch Wang and a few personal guards. As soon as he entered the study of General Yan's mansion, Eunuch Wang and his guards were arrested.

"I don't really want you to write the abdication edict yourself." General Yan looked at the bright crescent moon rising outside the window and spoke gently, "I just want to have a legitimate reason."

"I will never let you succeed. My secret guards must have returned to the palace to gather troops." The emperor's legs were tied to the legs of the chair, and it was simply wishful thinking to kick over the desk.

"Your Majesty, don't even think about it. 'Shadow', who leads your secret guards, is my favorite student." General Yan withdrew his eyes from the moon outside the window.

"You actually planned it for so long! You are so ambitious, you deserve to be killed!" The veins on the emperor's forehead were exposed, and he clenched his fists to smash him to death, but he couldn't get out of the chair at all.

"I have devoted my life to the country, and I have never complained about life and death on the battlefield. In order to reassure the emperor, I sent my late wife and my daughter, who I cherish as a treasure, to the palace." General Yan said casually, but his frown showed his pain.

"But how did you treat my Yan family and my precious daughter? You sent people to disrupt my army and almost prevented me from returning! You even slandered my daughter for adultery. When she died, she was still pregnant with your dragon seed!" General Yan picked up the inkstone beside him and smashed it hard between his eyebrows.

The emperor felt something warm dripping from his eyelids and cried out in panic.

"My daughter is in her prime. If she were in an ordinary family, she would have been alive and kicking. But because of your selfishness, she has gone to hell." General Yan's eyes were filled with grief, but he still restrained himself from crying in front of his enemy.

General Chen, who was guarding the door, looked at the old general who was invincible on the battlefield, but now he was hunched over like an ordinary old man. His nose was sore and tears welled up.
