Since he missed the best opportunity, Yu Jing'an is still the emperor, still the Son of Heaven!
If he were to attempt to assassinate the emperor at this point, he would be condemned by all the people and vilified by everyone.
Xia Yunshang was certain that Yu Nanqing wouldn't dare!
Yu Nanqing's expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard what Xia Yunshang said.
Yu Jing'an was surprisingly calm and said to Yu Nanqing, "Your Majesty has worked hard today. Why don't you rest first? The palace has prepared a bedroom for Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I will visit you in person tomorrow."
Yu Nanqing said nothing more: "Your subject takes his leave."
Xia Yunshang clenched her fist in her sleeve: "Prince Gong! You haven't answered me yet!"
"Mother!" Yu Jing'an suddenly raised his voice.
Xia Yunshang was startled by the shout. In her memory, Yu Jing'an had always been obedient and well-behaved, and it was impossible for him to yell at her like that.
Yu Nanqing had already left the Imperial Study, as if everything that had happened there had nothing to do with him.
Yu Jing'an looked at Xia Yunshang with a serious and gloomy gaze, and his words were even more unquestionable: "Mother Empress is tired. I will send someone to escort you back to the palace to rest."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two guards with swords at their waists entered through the door.
Yu Jing'an declared: "Send the Empress Dowager back to the palace. Without my order, no one may have contact with the Empress Dowager."
Xia Yunshang's heart sank suddenly, a bad premonition creeping in: "What do you mean by this? I am your mother! What do you want to do?"
Yu Jing'an stepped forward, and the calmness in his eyes frightened Xia Yunshang. She was so afraid that she didn't even realize that she had been forced back a step by his imposing aura.
"Mother, I have grown up. Mother, you have been imprisoned by the Empress Dowager for two long years. You must have suffered greatly. Rest assured, I will not mistreat you in the future, but there is a condition..."
Yu Jing'an took another step forward with a cold look in his eyes. Xia Yunshang's breath caught in her throat, and she almost fell to the ground as she staggered!
Yu Jing'an's tone was devoid of emotion: "Mother, you must stay in the palace quietly. If I discover any disloyalty, even I, your son, cannot protect you."
"You...you're being insolent!" Xia Yunshang's voice trembled, whether from anger or fear, it was hard to tell: "Don't forget you're my son!"
Having been suppressed by that old hag Xue Qinyun for so long, it was finally her turn to finally get her revenge. But unexpectedly... she never expected that her own son would continue to imprison her!
"Take him away!"
At a command, the guards stepped forward and grabbed Xia Yunshang from both sides.
Xia Yunshang broke free and shouted, "Get out!"
She glared angrily at Yu Jing'an: "Ha! You really are my good son. Do you think you really have all the power now? Fine! I'll wait and see the day you come begging to me!"
She simply didn't believe that Yu Nanqing wouldn't fight for that position!
She simply refused to believe that Yu Jing'an, a mere greenhorn, could defend the Great Jin Dynasty!
In the end, we still had to rely on her to step in!
"You don't need to worry about me, I can walk by myself!" Xia Yunshang glared coldly at Yu Jing'an, flicked her wide sleeves, and stormed off angrily.
When only Yu Jing'an and Grand Tutor Yan remained in the Imperial Study, Yu Jing'an finally let out a deep sigh.
Grand Tutor Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right."
Yu Jing'an frowned: "The matter of the Empress Dowager has only just happened, and Mother has already received the news. It seems that even though she was imprisoned in the palace by the Empress Dowager, she still has enough spies to gather information."
Yu Jing'an stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction Xia Yunshang had left: "The Empress Dowager rushed here simply because she wants to control me like the Grand Empress Dowager."
