After writing the imperial edict, he planned to send someone to deliver it.

"Gentlemen, I have finished writing the imperial decree, the antidote..."

"Don't worry, the antidote will be given to you after Qin Jinyan ascends the throne today," Wang Simeng said with a smile.

The empress, who was standing in the distance, was too stunned to speak by Emperor Qin Wu's roar, but her eyes widened when she heard the words "imperial edict" and "Eighth Prince ascends the throne".

"Your Majesty, have you gone mad? Our Crown Prince is the rightful next emperor! How could you let the Eighth Prince succeed to the throne? This is against the rules! Did those two poison Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will have them apprehended immediately. The imperial physicians are highly skilled and will surely be able to cure Your Majesty's poison. Your Majesty must not act rashly and issue the decree."

"Shut up, go and issue the decree." Emperor Qin Wu summoned a eunuch, who took the imperial decree and stumbled away.

Seeing this, the Empress disregarded the presence of Emperor Qin Wu and quickly whispered to the maid beside her.

"Go tell them...go quickly."

The maidservant hurriedly ran away after hearing this.

After Emperor Wu of Qin issued the decree, the entire court was shocked. The descendants of Crown Prince Qin Yuan were even more incredulous and went directly to the palace to see the emperor. The empress summoned her father, Marquis Zhenyuan.

Marquis Zhenyuan, dressed in armor, led a large number of soldiers into the palace under the pretext of rescuing the emperor.

Upon seeing Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng standing beside Emperor Qin Wu, he angrily rebuked them.

"You audacious scoundrel! The regent of the mighty Qi Cang Kingdom has dared to come to my Qin Kingdom and kidnap our emperor! Does the regent intend to start a war between Qin and Qi Cang Kingdom?"

"Start a war? You're not worthy." Mo Beichen said calmly.

"You... arrogant and audacious! Everyone, charge! Save the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" Marquis Zhenyuan shouted.

"stop!"

"Wait!"

Two distinct voices rang out.

One voice came from Wang Simeng, who glanced calmly at Marquis Zhenyuan. The other voice came from Emperor Qin Wu!

"Hmph! Let's see who dares to do this. All of you step back and make sure the Eighth Prince ascends the throne as soon as possible."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Marquis of Zhenyuan felt a chill in his heart. He then made a decision.

"Don't believe what this person says. This person is not the emperor. Our emperor has been killed by these two. This person must be an imposter. Kill them."
