Yu Jing'an chuckled softly, "Can't Consort Shu see it? If it weren't for your father, how could I have entered this palace? How could I have so easily stormed in?" Yu Jing'an spread his hands.
"Impossible!" Nan Zhiyun exclaimed in disbelief.
"Your Highness, I truly have to thank General Nan this time. If I succeed, your father will be a great hero. Rest assured, I promised General Nan that once I get what I want, I will not mistreat the Nan family. In the future, I will surely rise to even greater heights, and the Empress Dowager will remain the Empress Dowager. You, my beloved, can also return to the General's Mansion. I promise you both a lifetime of glory and honor." Yu Jing'an appeared confident and determined.
"Outrageous! Yu Jing'an, this is utterly rebellious! My father would never stoop to your level! Don't even think about slandering my father!" How could Nan Zhiyun possibly believe such an absurd thing?
“Your Highness, General Nan did indeed instruct us to cooperate with Prince An. Please do not make things difficult for Your Highness, and we will not harm you.” Commander Chen, who had been silent all along, finally spoke at this moment.
Nan Zhiyun's eyes reddened. Naturally, she didn't believe it, but just then, An Xin's voice came from behind: "The Empress Dowager has arrived."
Nan Zhiyun looked over and saw the Empress Dowager being carried in from behind. Yu Jing'an also looked over, but he was not alarmed.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager..." Nan Zhiyun called out, wanting to go over.
"Why has the Empress Dowager come here too?" Yu Jing'an asked.
"Is it not allowed for me to come? Let everyone come up." The Empress Dowager's tone was indifferent, and then a group of ministers were brought over. Most of them were the people who had been kneeling here today, demanding to see Yu Jingchen, or more accurately... Yu Jing'an's people.
"There has to be a reason. I think these people are quite suitable, don't you think?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Yu Jing'an, and Nan Zhiyun felt a little unfamiliar with him.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager?" Nan Zhiyun called out.
The Empress Dowager looked over and, as lovingly as before, looked at Nan Zhiyun: "Yun'er, don't be afraid. Come here, come over to me." The Empress Dowager beckoned to her.
Nan Zhiyun shook her head, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing. Was the Empress Dowager and this traitor in cahoots? No way, she didn't believe it.
"Does Consort Shu still not believe it? The Empress Dowager and General Nan are now supporting me, along with this group of ministers. After tonight, the entire Yuan Dynasty will be under my authority—no, I mean, the Emperor." Yu Jing'an was determined to succeed.
"No...no," Nan Zhiyun looked at the Empress Dowager, hoping to hear her deny it, but unfortunately, she didn't.
"Yun'er, how do you think the assassins got into Zichen Palace?" The Empress Dowager's words shattered Nan Zhiyun's psychological defenses.
"I don't believe it... Why would the Empress Dowager do this?" Nan Zhiyun questioned.
"Yun'er, listen to me. I'm doing this for your own good. Yu Jingchen treated you like that, so naturally I can't let it go. He doesn't deserve to be emperor. I want him to know that without the Nan family, without me, he's nothing. If I want, this world won't be his to rule." The Empress Dowager's tone was slightly cold.
"But...but His Majesty was raised by you, and Yu Jing'an is nothing but a traitor." Nan Zhiyun couldn't believe that the Empress Dowager would say such a thing.
