Upon hearing this, the last bit of light in Murong Ye's eyes completely extinguished.
Although his grandmother didn't like him very much, he still respected her.
It was he who issued the order to confiscate the property of Prince Gong's Mansion, and it was he who also passed the news to the Cining Palace under his nose.
The order to confiscate the Prince Gong's mansion had already affected the interests of many people. Next, he was destined to become enemies with many wealthy and old families.
He held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his grandmother would support him.
However……
Unsurprisingly, the ending disappointed him again.
"Grandmother, please forgive me for not being able to obey your order."
Murong Ye suddenly bowed respectfully towards Ouyang Lan, but his tone became distant and cold.
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Lan raised her eyebrows, as if she was doubting her ears.
She has never liked this grandson of the emperor.
But Murong Ye has basically always met her requests since she was a child.
To the extent that, she never expected that Murong Ye would actually reject her.
"Why, is it that I didn't explain it clearly enough?"
"Then I'll say it again!"
"Murong Ye, I want you to withdraw the order to confiscate Prince Gong's residence!"
"And you must announce to the world that this is just a misunderstanding caused by your negligence."
"In order to preserve the reputation of Prince Gong's Mansion, you must also reward Prince Gong's Mansion as an apology."
"The position of Imperial Preceptor of Xuanlong State has been vacant for a long time. In my opinion, Prince Gong Murong Yongsheng has friends throughout the court and the country. If you nominate him as Imperial Preceptor, he will surely help you quickly stabilize the court situation."
Ouyang Lan raised her eyes and looked at Murong Ye, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
To be honest, if there were not enough royal heirs, the throne would never have been inherited by Murong Ye, her least favored grandson.
Hearing such a ridiculous statement, Murong Ye was so angry that he laughed.
There are such shameless people in the world.
He was asked to make the future ruler of a country apologize to a prince who had committed a heinous crime, and he was also given the position of national teacher, second only to the emperor.
Really, I'm afraid that the people who compile folk storytelling books would not dare to write such an outrageous plot.
"I refuse!" Murong Ye said in an extremely cold tone.
"Please rest assured, Grandmother. The three judges will soon convict Murong Yongsheng."
"And I will execute him in front of the whole world to set things right!"
After saying all this, Murong Ye turned around, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You, you unfilial son! Do you want to piss me off to death?!"
Ouyang Lan was so angry at Murong Ye's attitude that she almost fainted.
She stretched out her trembling hand and pointed at Murong Ye, who was calmly sipping tea, and a hint of viciousness suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"Murong Ye, you are just as ungrateful as your annoying mother!"
"Don't you think that since your father has passed away suddenly, the throne of Xuanlong Kingdom must belong to you?"
Ouyang Lan smiled threateningly.
"Don't forget, according to the rules of Xuanlong Kingdom, I am qualified to nominate a candidate for the throne."
"I think a descendant of Prince Yong would be very suitable. I can simply order the support of a young person and let him rule the country from behind the scenes."
"What do you think?"
"Since you have my blood in you, I will give you another chance."
"If you accept my proposal, I will support you in ascending the throne."
"If you don't obey, I will personally find a more obedient person to be the emperor." Ouyang Lan's expression was full of blatant threats.
Hearing this, Murong Ye smiled faintly.
It was as if snow suddenly fell all over the silent and cold night sky, cold and stunning.
"Grandmother, please give it a try."
Murong Ye calmly turned the teacup in his hand.
Ever since he heard Jiang Tiantian's thoughts and learned about the possible encounters between him and his mother.
To protect Yuyao and the Queen Mother, and to protect the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He had already made all the arrangements privately.
"W-What do you mean?"
"Could it be that you dare to touch my family?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan was shocked and looked incredulous.
"Why does the Empress Dowager say that?"
"Grandmother is deeply troubled and distraught over the sudden passing of our father. The imperial physician says she needs to rest."
"In my grandson's opinion, the royal palace offers a beautiful and tranquil environment, making it the perfect place to spend your remaining years."
"But please rest assured, grandma. I will definitely send someone to protect your safety. Not even a fly can get in."
"Please... Grandma, enjoy your old age."
Murong Ye's expression was indifferent, but his tone became increasingly cold.
"You, you...are you planning to imprison me?!"
"How dare you! How dare you!"
"I am your grandmother!"
When Ouyang Lan saw Murong Ye's eyes signaling, someone immediately came towards her, and she couldn't help feeling panic.
When she came, she thought of many possible outcomes.
The only thing she didn't expect was that Murong Ye would dare to be so disrespectful to her.
"Imprisonment?" Murong Ye sneered when he heard that.
"The Empress Dowager's food, clothing, and daily expenses remain the same as before. How can this be considered imprisonment?"
"Grandmother Royal thinks this is imprisonment, but do you know what kind of lives each of the more than 30,000 victims tortured by Murong Yongsheng are leading?"
"Now that things have come to this, my grandson really wants to ask you a question."
"Why would you rather destroy me and Xuanlong than save Murong Yongsheng? Is it just because he is your cousin?!"
Murong Ye couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question.
