Mo Yunhan was furious.
He rushed forward and snatched the knife away.
"Father, how could you be so heartless and insane!"
"I did it all for the Great Zhou!"
The retired emperor was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
Mo Yunhan was extremely disappointed.
I was also extremely disheartened.
"You're really crazy."
He threw the bloodstained knife on the ground.
Chao Moyunzhao slowly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus is suffering from excessive worry, to the point of madness. It would be best to move him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for proper care."
Mo Yunzhao let out a long sigh.
He spent his entire life wary of the retired emperor and of Mo Yunhan.
Be wary of the two men seizing his throne.
But it turns out that,
Like Mo Yunhan, he was merely a pawn of the retired emperor.
A chess piece that can be killed at will.
He looked at Mo Yunke on the ground with lingering fear.
After years of obsession, at this moment, I let go completely.
He waved his hand.
"Guards, escort the Emperor Emeritus back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and guard it heavily."
"How dare you! How dare you!"
The retired emperor was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
The Imperial Guards have already stepped forward.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the old eunuch immediately coaxed, "Your Majesty, this old servant will help you back first."
The retired emperor would never agree.
"Akamori, Red Armor Guards, are you all dead? Kill them, kill them!"
The Red Armor Guards were at a loss for what to do.
The imperial edict is in Qi Huang's hands, and Chi Sen has already openly rebelled.
Outnumbered, they dared not take action.
The retired emperor was dragged away by the Imperial Guards, hopping mad.
Mo Yunzhao, supported by Yan Yunqing's arm, slowly walked towards Qi Huang.
"Are you really a princess of the Sui Dynasty?"
"yes!"
Qi Huang answered.
Mo Yunzhao sighed.
His core stone had been removed, and his energy and spirit were almost completely depleted.
At this moment, I no longer have the energy to fight.
"I am ashamed of what happened back then. If there is any compensation, it is not enough to bring the dead back to life."
"I would like to ask you, are you still willing to marry Xiao Jiu?"
Mo Yunhan's hands, which were hanging by his sides, suddenly clenched.
His gaze fell heavily upon them.
Qi Huang didn't look at him.
The reply was crisp and decisive, without any hesitation.
"I don't want to!"
Mo Yunhan's heart was clenched tightly.
Mo Yunzhao was stunned.
"So, you want to restore your kingdom?"
Qi Huang sneered.
"If I say yes, what will you do? Kill me?"
Mo Yunzhao was speechless, choked by these words.
After a moment, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"If I were to harm you, Xiao Jiu would fight me to the death. Neither I nor the Great Zhou can live without him now."
He sighed again.
"By imperial decree, the borders of the Great Zhou shall be opened, allowing the remnants of the Great Sui to enter and live in peace and prosperity, enjoying all the rights and privileges of the people of the Great Zhou."
The chief eunuch hurriedly bowed and agreed.
"yes!"
Qi Huang let out another cold laugh.
"Do you think that the innocent people of the Sui Dynasty who died unjustly will forgive you?"
Mo Yunzhao stared at her.
"What are you going to do? Summon those monsters and slaughter the Great Zhou? Although I have only known you for a short time, I can tell that you are not a person who enjoys killing. If you marry Xiao Jiu, the Great Sui and the Great Zhou will be one family."
"Brother!"
Mo Yunhan interrupted him, her eyes red-rimmed.
His gaze was fixed intently on Qi Huang.
"Wan'er..."
"My name is Qi Huang, the only princess of the Sui Dynasty."
Qi Huang looked at him coldly.
“You and I are bound by fate. I used my spiritual power to create an avatar to sever this connection. Once you two are married and consummate your marriage, Jiang Qingwan will no longer exist in this world. But it’s the same now. The avatar is dead, and Jiang Qingwan is dead too. From now on, you and I are mortal enemies.”
"His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou is right. I will not summon the Ghost-Headed Hounds to slaughter the capital. I will take back everything that Great Sui has lost in my own way."
She finished speaking and turned to leave.
Qing Sui and Lian'er immediately came to greet them.
"Miss!"
"princess!"
Qi Huang's emotions were still somewhat turbulent.
But I forced myself to endure it.
“I am neither your young lady nor your queen.”
She raised her hand and summoned black mist.
Mo Yunhan's voice sounded from behind.
"Qi Huang!"
Qi Huang paused,
My whole body was stiff.
Mo Yunhan had a thousand words to say.
But he couldn't utter a single word.
They watched helplessly as Qi Huang disappeared into the black mist.
Song Yushu rushed forward anxiously.
"Yun Han, you...you should go after them!"
Mo Yunhan smiled bitterly,
With tears welling up in her red-rimmed eyes, she asked, "Aunt, what did you tell me to do that you wanted me to chase after them for?"
Song Yushu was stunned.
At this moment, a courtier shouted loudly,
"Your Majesty, we must not let her leave the capital! She possesses such extraordinary abilities; if we do not capture her, it will surely bring ruin to the Great Zhou..."
He didn't finish speaking.
A long sword was then firmly planted in front of him.
Mo Yunhan's eyes were like knives.
"Without him, the capital would have fallen long ago, and you wouldn't even have the chance to breathe and speak now. Anyone who dares to mention this matter again, don't blame me for having no eyes for my sword!"
He was already infamous for his murderous rage.
At this point, who would dare to raise any objections?
The joyous occasion of a grand wedding procession, with its ten miles of red bridal procession, was stained with blood.
Mo Yunzhao said nothing.
Upon returning to the Imperial Study, he encountered Consort Ling, who was there to pester him.
He recalled the absurd things he had done these past few days.
He immediately ordered the drowning.
And the secret order to force the draft was lifted.
One month later,
The retired emperor passed away.
