Ji Fengyao came to her senses and immediately instructed Hu Ji to take the token left by Shang Xiye to summon his subordinates. They disguised themselves and left the city in batches.

She then instructed Uncle Fu to gather all the servants in the palace, and those who could not be taken away were given silver and their indentures returned, and dismissed on the spot.

Qian Yingying had made plans to leave as soon as she received the news that day.

As soon as Ji Fengyao sent someone to inform them, Qian Yingying came over with Xia He carrying a small bundle.

Under Ji Fengyao's supervision and with the assistance of Xique, Bailu, Huji, Fubo, and others, the process of dismissing people and sending them out of the city in batches was carried out quietly and in an orderly manner, both inside and outside the Prince's Mansion.

Meanwhile, Shang Xiye, holding the imperial pardon and the late emperor's edict, led Wuying and Wuhen directly into the imperial study.

at this time.

The puppet emperor, controlled by Dikanlong, is discussing a grand plan to deal with the Ninth Prince with ministers in the imperial study who have strong opinions against him.

This includes:

The Second Prince Shang Nanjue and the Minister of Personnel Wen Jiyan benefited greatly from this.

The two thought that the emperor had suddenly become enlightened and that the scales in their hearts had tipped in their favor.

The two of them were so happy that they were beaming with joy. These past two days, they walked with a spring in their step, feeling that they could finally accomplish something great!

A group of people were having a lively discussion.

Suddenly, a loud "bang!" rang out.

The door to the Imperial Study was violently kicked open from the outside, shattering into countless pieces that were scattered all over the floor.

Several pieces of wood flew up and nearly hit some of the ministers inside the room, who were so frightened that they covered their heads and hid.

Outside the door, Gao Chengwei stood behind the left side of the Imperial Study, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist. He looked very conflicted, but he did not shout to stop him.

Seeing that Gao Chengwei remained silent, the other Imperial Guards dared not draw their swords or utter a sound. They could only awkwardly surround Shang Xiye and the three of them from a distance.

Upon seeing Shang Xiye, the puppet Shang Xiche was so startled that he leaned back.

Most of Dikanlong's divine soul in this realm was struck by lightning yesterday, and the remaining small portion of his divine soul was also significantly affected and injured.

At this moment, he could barely control Shang Xiche.

If they really fought, he would definitely be no match for Shang Xiye!

But then I thought about it again.

He is now Shang Xiche, the emperor of the Great Zhao!

Since Shang Xiye only brought Wuying and Wuhen with him, he felt much more at ease.

With a heavy slam of his hand on the table, the puppet Shang Xiche stood up angrily and roared, "You audacious Ninth Prince, how dare you trespass into the palace! Are you trying to openly rebel?!"

I heard that the Ninth Prince made a promise to the late Emperor.

The Ninth Prince had promised the late Emperor that he would never rebel against Shang Xiche.

Therefore, De Canon spoke with great confidence.

but……

"Even if I were to raise an army in rebellion, it would not be a rebellion, but rather a restoration of order." Shang Xiye held up the old yellow imperial edict in his hand, his eyes filled with doubt, and asked, "Brother, are you so persistent in pressing me? Have you forgotten that I still have the late emperor's edict?"

Dikanlong: "???"

Shang Nanjue: "???"

Wen Jiyan: "???"

The ministers: "???"

Did the late emperor leave a will for the nine princes?

They really didn't know about this!

"Your Majesty, do you choose to return my military seal and personal seal to me, and withdraw the decree to besiege the Ninth Prince's residence and force my princess to remarry the Crown Prince; or do you choose to let me announce Father Emperor's last decree to the world and remove you from the throne?" Shang Xiye did not spare Shang Xiche any face just because there were outsiders present.
