Chapter 398 Sob, at this moment I only wish to compose a poem.
The young eunuch's expression was complicated when he reported these words.
His feelings were also very complicated.
I should have been happy...
But without a regent in the court, and with the removal of the seventh prince, then in the future... relying solely on the empress dowager and the young emperor will likely be of little use.
The young eunuch immediately looked at Xiao Tang.
As a result, he was startled by Xiao Tang's piercing gaze.
At this moment, Di Yanhen, who was choking the Empress Dowager, suddenly turned to Xiao Tang, "It was you! You deliberately sent someone here in secret, didn't you?"
If that's not the case, then he won't believe it!
Xiao Tang wasn't surprised at all. She raised an eyebrow and told him with a half-smile, "I did send someone secretly. What's wrong? Wasn't the Seventh Prince very arrogant just now? Why are you backing down now?"
She laughed out loud, "Looks like that's all the threatening tricks you have."
The Empress Dowager, her forehead beaded with cold sweat, glared at Xiao Tang, inwardly screaming for her to stop spouting nonsense and angering Emperor Yanhen!
It was she, not Xiao Tang, who was being held hostage by Di Yanhen, which is why this woman was so fearless.
Xiao Tang naturally noticed the Empress Dowager's gaze, and a smile bloomed on her face.
She simply changed her posture, crossed her arms and smiled slightly.
"Actually, it's just that the Seventh Prince is surrounded. He probably doesn't care at all."
not give a damn about?
These words really made Di Yanhen so angry he felt like vomiting blood.
"You're asking for it!"
Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly heard the Empress Dowager, whose neck he was gripping, scream in alarm.
"ah!"
The sudden, inexplicable scream further irritated Di Yanhen.
Di Yanhen roared, "Shut up! Do you want to die?"
"Seventh Prince, your enemy is Xiao Tang, who has nothing to do with me. Why do you insist on clinging to me?" At this moment, the Empress Dowager felt a sense of desolation and fear.
I really don't understand what Di Yanhen is up to.
Even the dumbest person would know that using her to threaten Xiao Tang is a foolish act that will never work.
However, Di Yanhen seemed not to hear him and stared intently at Xiao Tang.
"You order your men to withdraw immediately, and I'll release the Empress Dowager and the Emperor; otherwise..."
The reason Di Yanhen said this was because he was 100% certain that Di Jingling would do everything in his power to protect the emperor!
If Di Jingling truly desired the throne, he would have acted long ago; why wait until now?
so……
He can be so fearless.
It was simply a matter of understanding the regent's thoughts.
He knew all too well the relationship between the regent and his father, and he also knew that his father would never give the throne to an outsider.
hehe.
but……
Now that the regent is dead, and Xiao Tang is just a woman, what does he have to fear?
Everything is ready except for the final push!
Xiao Tang saw madness and an unwavering determination in his eyes.
It was as if he had already won.
Xiao Tang shrugged: "Seventh Prince, it's not that I want to spoil your fun, but if you just tell me to withdraw my troops, wouldn't I lose face?"
Withdrawing troops is definitely out of the question.
That's the big villain manipulating things.
Her arrival is merely a delaying tactic, giving the main villain more time to prepare.
Now that he only sees the Empress Dowager and not the young emperor, Xiao Tang has already accepted this possibility.
The young emperor was indeed imprisoned by this man.
Di Yanhen's eyes were bloodshot.
"You, Xiao Tang, are you really asking for trouble?"
He was furious.
Under normal circumstances, when faced with such a threat, a pragmatic person should immediately surrender and agree!
Xiao Tang, that woman, has guts!
"Oh ho, you're the most shameless one. If you want to threaten me with the Emperor, you'd better bring him out first and let me see that he's safe and sound."
Originally, he hadn't intended to take Di Yanqing's life immediately. Without hesitation, Di Yanhen raised his hand, signaling the people hiding in the shadows to drag the person out.
"After you've seen this, you must withdraw your troops immediately!"
Xiao Tang found it funny.
However, no proper response was given.
Di Yanhen noticed this and was secretly annoyed.
Xiao Tang would certainly not agree to him; wouldn't she be a fool to agree?
After all, the decision to withdraw troops wasn't something she could make.
At this moment, a guard quickly pulled the young emperor into the hall, then rudely pushed the child to the ground before turning and leaving.
The young emperor jumped up from the ground in anger, shouting, "You scoundrel! I'll chop off your head!"
After he finished cursing, he belatedly realized that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.
He suddenly turned his head and looked around in disbelief.
He only smiled sheepishly when he realized everyone was looking at him.
The little hand scratched its head.
Especially when faced with Xiao Tang's gaze, the young emperor became even more foolish and burst into tears, "Ninth Imperial Aunt, you're finally back! I'm so unlucky, waaaaah..."
He really doesn't have the airs of an emperor at all.
Annoyed by the child's crying, Di Yanhen snapped, "Shut up!"
The young emperor was stunned for a moment after being suddenly scolded.
He stared wide-eyed, incredulous at the man who was threatening his mother.
His pupils gradually widened.
Realizing what was happening, he suddenly jumped up angrily and ran over with his short legs.
"Release my mother, or I'll fight you to the death!"
"Waaaaah!"
The Empress Dowager's feelings were also complicated.
