"Guards, protect the emperor!"
Eunuch Lu shouted with all his might towards the outside of the hall, but no one responded.
"Don't waste your energy, this day next year will be the anniversary of your deaths!"
A bright yellow figure walked in from outside the main hall. The middle-aged man, full of vigor, didn't even glance around. His eyes were fixed on the emperor, filled with the pleasure of revenge.
Upon seeing him appear, General Cheng's eyes flashed with intense hatred.
It was him! That hypocrite who misled him and almost made him commit a grave mistake!
“Yun Qishan!” Cheng Zheng stared at him, his eyes blazing with fury.
He should have realized it sooner; this man is capable of anything for his own selfish desires!
"Cheng Zheng?" The man in the yellow robe narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone indifferent, as if he were talking about something trivial. "He really is an old codger. Your son died for you once, and this time, I will still let you live, so you can watch your good grandson die right in front of you!"
"you--"
Cheng Zheng's eyes were bloodshot. He tried to get up, but he couldn't muster any strength. If looks could kill, he would have torn this man to pieces to vent his hatred!
"Brother, I spared you back then out of brotherly affection. Now that you've returned, what are your intentions?"
The emperor braced himself, leaning against the steps behind him, trying not to lose his composure.

However, if he could do it all over again, he would still let Yun Qishan go, the older brother who had grown up with him since childhood, but he would never let himself fall into this predicament again.
He felt guilty towards his daughter and the imperial ancestors. The only person he hadn't wronged was his own brother, born of the same mother. He just couldn't understand why the late emperor had originally intended to make this brother the crown prince, but for some reason the position was given to him instead, and from then on, the two brothers became like strangers.
If Yun Qishan didn't want to be emperor back then, why is he now forcing the emperor to abdicate?
Even if I die, I want to die a quick and painless death!
"Hahahaha, my good brother, do you think I should be grateful for sparing my life? In this world, everyone can betray me, but you can't, you can't!"
