Dongfang Ziyi's eyes widened upon hearing this. Yin Jiahan actually knew what he was thinking?
Jin Hui was incredulous that Yin Jiahan was actually protecting Dongfang Ziyi, and roared, "Yin Jiahan! You are a prince of the border kingdom, how could you go to save your enemy? You piece of trash, have you forgotten your national and personal grievances for a woman!"
Five years ago, Jin Hui sought out Yin Jiahan's mother to discuss the plan to restore the kingdom, but his mother refused and wouldn't allow Jin Hui to see him.
Later, when Yin Jiahan became the national advisor, Jin Hui wanted to use his power to restore the country, but he refused.
At that time, Jin Hui thought he was a hopeless case.
Jin Hui began to send people to keep an eye on him, hoping to find his weaknesses and then use them to blackmail him.
He discovered that Yin Jiahan did not rest at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, but would leave the residence every day after sunset.
The men he sent out either died from Yin Jiahan's poison or were shaken off halfway through their pursuit.
It wasn't until a few days ago that he received the news that Yin Jiahan was going to the residence behind Xiliang Mountain every day.
That place was originally the dilapidated thatched hut where Mu Tiantian took in her and her son. Unexpectedly, after he became the Grand Preceptor, he renovated the thatched hut into a mansion and spent the night there every day.
Jin Hui was furious, feeling that he was a good-for-nothing who couldn't forget a woman who had betrayed him, and she was disappointed in him for not living up to his potential.
Yin Jiahan turned around upon hearing Jin Hui's roar, his usual fake smile vanishing, and asked him earnestly, "General Jin, why do you want to restore your kingdom?"
"Of course, it's for the safety and well-being of the people of my border kingdom!" Jin Hui roared.
"No, you did it all for your own selfish desires. Back then, you were dissatisfied with the Tian Shang Kingdom's exploitation of the border states, so you instigated my father to start a war. My father refused, so you took it upon yourself to try to assassinate the emperor of the Tian Shang Kingdom. The assassination failed and caused trouble. Your wife and children were killed by Marquis Jing An of Ding'an. Then you killed Jing An, disguised yourself as him, and secretly developed your own power. You did this only because you wanted to become emperor."
Yin Jiahan then spoke out all his thoughts.
"No, I did all this for the sake of the border region, how dare you say that!" Jin Hui roared as if his secret had been exposed.
The emperor of Tian Shang Kingdom is incompetent, tyrannical, and a pervert; he did nothing wrong in what he did!
“Border states are inherently weak, and to survive, they must depend on powerful states. But you are ambitious and caused war. The destruction of border states is all because of you. It can be said that your wife and children were killed by you.”
"no..."
“My mother knew of your ambition, which is why she forbade me to see you. And after meeting you, she was so angry that her condition worsened, and she died half a year earlier. So, if I really want to take revenge, General Jin, shouldn't you also be considered one of my enemies?”
If his mother hadn't warned him not to hold a grudge against Jin Hui, Jin Hui wouldn't have survived to this day.
"Guards!" Yin Jiahan shouted.
A hundred or so people entered the main hall, including not only soldiers but also people close to Jin Hui.
It was only then that Dongfang Ziyi and Jin Hui realized that Yin Jiahan's influence was everywhere.
"Take the traitors to the Heavenly Prison and await their fate." After Yin Jiahan finished speaking, the men swiftly took the rebels away.
As Dongfang Ziyi listened to Yin Jiahan issuing orders, he seemed more like an emperor than Yin Jiahan himself.
Yin Jiahan stood before him again and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if I were to plot a rebellion, do you truly believe you could remain unscathed on this throne?"
Looking into his cold eyes, Dongfang Ziyi was horrified. His momentum weakened considerably, and a sudden surge of fear made him sway and involuntarily take a half-step back.
At this moment, the Prince of Zhenbei arrived with his troops and happened to meet Xiahou Yu, who was also on his way to the banquet hall.
When Xiahou Yu arrived at the banquet hall, he saw Zixin hiding in the shadows. He quickly went over to her, hugged her, and comforted her, saying, "I'm back."
"Ah Yu..." Zixin felt relieved.
Yin Jiahan walked towards Xiahou Yu after seeing him.
Zixin hid behind Xiahou Yu in fear.
"Where is my elder sister?" Yin Jiahan's voice was cold, and his aura was powerful.
Xiahou Yu calmed himself down and said, "Miss Mu has been sent to the Emperor's palace and should still be on her way."
After hearing this, Yin Jiahan left the banquet hall and headed towards Dongfang Ziyi's bedroom.
The Prince of Zhenbei stepped forward and whispered a few words to Dongfang Ziyi.
"How could this be?" Dongfang Ziyi was shocked to hear this. Nearly half of the soldiers outside the palace and the warriors following Jin Hui were actually Yin Jiahan's men!
"I did not know." Even the Marquis of Zhenbei had not expected this.
Suddenly, Jing Jue, who was hiding in the shadows, vomited, and an insect fell out—it was a Gu worm.
Dongfang Ziyi glanced at Jing Jue upon hearing the sound, and suddenly realized something.
The reason he knew about Jing An's plot to rebel was because the secret guards he sent to guard the vicinity of the mansion overheard Jing Jue and Yin Jiahan's conversation and learned that Jing An was being impersonated. This led him to discover that Jin Hui was planning to assassinate him that night.
Thinking about it carefully, with Yin Jiahan's strength, how could he not know that he had sent people to guard that mansion?
Then there is only one possibility: Yin Jiahan deliberately let him know about this, deliberately let him wipe out Jin Hui and the others, deliberately took that blow for him, and deliberately exposed his own power.
To let him know that no matter what means he uses, no matter how cunning he is.
In the end, he couldn't outsmart Yin Jiahan.
The reason why Dongfang Ziyi was able to sit comfortably on the throne was because Yin Jiahan had no intention of restoring the country.
Just as Mu Tiantian said back then, as long as he treats the people of the border country well, Yin Jiahan will not only not rebel, but will also help him consolidate his throne.
He should even be thankful that he actually did as Mu Tiantian said.
Otherwise, this throne...
It may have already changed hands.
...
Mu Tiantian sat in the sedan chair, listening to Qi Tong report the situation to her.
System: [Jin Hui and the others have been captured. Yin Jiahan is unharmed.]
Mu Tiantian: [That's good.]
As soon as Qi Tong finished speaking, the sedan chair stopped.
Mu Tiantian was somewhat surprised. She lifted the curtain and saw a figure standing not far away.
Behind that figure stood countless soldiers.
The guards escorting Mu Tiantian, following the imperial decree, surrounded the sedan chair to prevent Yin Jiahan from getting close.
But the guards were shocked to see the massive army behind Ingahan.
Inga coldly looked at the guards blocking his way and shouted sharply, "Get out of the way!"
