Qin Yuwei waited for a long time, but Gu Chaoyang's men did not show up.
Li Zhengqing retracted his gaze and said, "It seems that the Queen Mother missed a move. I'm afraid your accomplices have already scattered like monkeys when the tree falls."
After saying this, he waved his hand and Qin Yuwei was surrounded by several strong imperial guards.
"presumptuous."
Her nails dug deep into her palms. Although her face remained calm, her thoughts were churning.
Why did the people arranged by Gu Chaoyang disappear?
Is there something wrong with Lanlan's plan?
Or has something unexpected happened?
Then Li Zhengqing asked Yan Zheng to give an order, ordering the imperial guards to guard all the officials present.
"What are you doing!?"
"I am a veteran of three dynasties. Who dares to touch me?"
"Yan Zheng, you are so bold, how dare you do such a crazy thing!"
"Your Majesty, what are you still standing there for, Your Majesty!!"
After a brief period of chaos, all the unarmed ministers were driven to an open space.
Zhao Siyu approached Xiao Wan calmly and protected her behind him.
Something unexpected happened, and both of them had deep worry in their eyes.
Yan Ning, who was wearing a dragon robe, was trembling all over, with red eyes. He had completely lost the ability to deal with the current situation.
He suddenly found that he had no one to talk to.
I don't even know who else will help me.
The ten-year-old emperor could only stand there blankly, fear gradually overflowing from his eyes.
Li Zhengqing took a step forward and said:
"This place is in chaos, please move your majesty. Once I have quelled the rebellion, I will respectfully welcome your majesty to the palace!"

He bumped into someone behind him and when he looked up, it was Ma Yan, the eunuch he once trusted the most.
Li Zhengqing winked at Ma Yan and asked him to take Yan Ning away first.
At this moment, Li Zhengqing suddenly saw Ma Yan giving him a strange smile.
Before he could react, Ma Yan had already grabbed Yan Ning's arm and pulled him into his arms.
A dagger appeared in his hand at some point, and it was pressed firmly against Yan Ning's throat!
Everyone present was shocked, with horror on their faces.
Even Li Zhengqing's expression changed instantly -
"Ma Yan, what are you doing!?"
Li Zhengqing shouted angrily, his eyes widened.
Is this guy Ma Yan crazy? How dare he do such a thing?
This was not part of the plan!
Li family's trump card Yan Tiao is dead, he must personally support Yan Ning to sit firmly on the throne, clear away obstacles like the Queen Mother and Zhu Lan, and become the first person to support the young emperor.
Only in this way can he completely establish his prestige in the entire Li family and replace the old stubborn Duke Weiguo.
When all the resources of the Li family are gathered in his hands, the young emperor will be surrounded by his own confidants.
Whatever the emperor says or does, without his authorization, cannot be heard outside Ziyun Palace.
Only then will it be the time for Li Zhengqing to avenge his previous shame and turn the tide!
But all this is based on the premise that Yan Ning is alive!
Upon seeing this, Yan Zheng and other ministers all changed their expressions.
