The next moment,
Du Luanfei seemed to be drawn in by something.
It uncontrollably crashed into Jiang Qingwan's hand.
Mo Yunke was extremely anxious.
"What are you all standing there for? Take down this crazy woman!"
The Imperial Guards swarmed forward.
They quickly subdued Jiang Qingwan and forced her to kneel on the ground.
Everyone in the Ninth Prince's Mansion was extremely anxious.
But they couldn't go forward.
Zheng Qing and Song Yushu immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
Mo Qingrui and her husband, along with several court officials who had previously received favors from Jiang Qingwan, all echoed her sentiments.
Mo Yunke shouted angrily.
"She has gone mad and intends to kill the emperor, can't you see that? Or are you all plotting rebellion?"
The crowd recounted Jiang Qingwan's contributions to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He single-handedly stabilized the safety of Kyoto, captured the traitor Su Weichuan, and accomplished other feats.
In an attempt to protect Jiang Qingwan's life,
Waiting for Mo Yunhan to return.
Mo Yunke laughed coldly.
"Your Majesty, do you see this? Is this the majesty you have displayed after ruling for so many years? All the important officials in the court respect the Ninth Prince. You have truly failed as an emperor."
"A lack of destiny makes one incapable of shouldering heavy responsibilities. Even if you were given several more decades, you still wouldn't be able to lead the Great Zhou to prosperity. Look at the current situation; it's highly inappropriate for Little Ninth to serve as regent. From this day forward, I will become the Regent Princess and manage the Great Zhou's empire properly for you."
Mo Yunzhao listened with an incredulous expression.
"You want to become regent?"
Mo Yunke snorted coldly.
"What? I can't rule as regent? Not only will I rule as regent, but I will also completely replace these ungrateful officials. Over the years, I have selected a group of talented civil and military officials for the Great Zhou. You don't need to worry about these people being left without anyone to govern."
Upon hearing this,
Mo Yunzhao was furious.
"Are you trying to usurp my power?"
"Whether you're a palace guard or my imperial bodyguard, you're all just for show!"
He raised his hand and gave the order.
The crowd cheered in unison.
The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.
Mo Yunke smiled gently.
"Your Majesty, I have endured for many years, waiting for this day. Do you think I would be unprepared?"
Mo Yunzhao coldly rebuked,
"I am certain that there are no troops moving outside the palace. Your personal guards alone are not enough to succeed. I advise you not to make a decision that will lead to your downfall."
Mo Yunke didn't waste any words.
Her red lips parted slightly.
"Ancient Yue!"
A red umbrella appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Yue slowly stepped out from under the umbrella.
Dressed in white, he exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.
He nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, Gu Yue will obey your orders."
Although this move is strange,
But Mo Yunzhao didn't take him seriously.
"With him alone, how could he..."
He didn't finish speaking.
A courtier suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Look, what...what is that?"
The surrounding air cracked open, one crack after another.
A black, ghostly hand emerged from within.
Tearing open space,
One by one, the hounds with their heads bared, baring their menacing barbs.
Bloody and eerie.
He grabbed the nearest Imperial Guard and stuffed it into his mouth, snapping it in two with a crunch.
The scene was in complete chaos.
But they had no idea where to escape to.
The ghostly claws seemed to be everywhere.
"emperor!"
The chief eunuch suddenly cried out in alarm.
He trembled all over, staring in terror at the top of Mo Yunzhao's head.
A drop of saliva dripped down.
It landed right on top of Mo Yunzhao's head.
You don't even need to think to know what's on it.
Even with Mo Yunzhao's resolute character,
At this moment, he panicked.
"Mo Yunke, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you going to commit regicide in front of everyone?"
Mo Yunke smiled faintly.
“I am your elder sister, how could I possibly harm you? I only want the Great Zhou to unify the world and be free from any threat. Father Emperor cannot do it, and neither can you, so only I can do it.”
She turned around, opened her arms, and shouted loudly.
"My beloved subjects, are you willing to support me?"
Some are spineless.
They were already terrified.
Quickly kneel down and shout,
"This humble official is willing to escort the Princess to the throne and bring prosperity to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Zheng Qing, Xiao Ping, and the others were all so angry that their faces turned ashen.
He Nian couldn't help but ask in a low voice,
"General Zheng, where exactly has His Highness the Ninth Prince gone? When will he return? The Great Zhou needs him to set things right!"
Zheng Qing was even more anxious than him.
"I don't know either."
At this moment, Gu Yue slowly walked towards Jiang Qingwan, holding a red umbrella.
Slightly bend down,
"See, you'll still end up in my hands."
"You are not allowed to touch my princess."
Qing Sui angrily broke free from Song Yushu's restraints and tried to rush forward.
A black, ghostly claw appeared in front of her.
The hound hissed menacingly at her.
It was as if any further movement from her would cause him to bite her neck off.
Gu Yue smiled and pinched Jiang Qingwan's chin.
Looking into her resentful eyes and the blackness spreading across them, I felt a great sense of pleasure.
“I’ve been searching for the source of the Rootless Water. I traced it back to the Zhuge Clan, but the trail went cold. I never imagined it would actually be on you. That old scoundrel Jiang Hengsong really kept it a secret.”
"Once I remove the Rootless Water from your body, the entire Dark Demon Clan will be completely free."
Whoosh!
A long sword suddenly flew towards them.
They almost chopped off his arm.
He quickly released Jiang Qingwan and took two steps back.
Turning around,
"Who wants to die..."
On the stone steps, the retired emperor slowly approached with his Red Armor Guards.
