The guard said solemnly, "Please come over here and discuss in detail, sir!"

Qianhun sneered in his heart and followed him to the side.

"This is a secret letter that the emperor asked me to give to Lord Qianhun. The emperor said that Lord Qianhun must burn it after reading it and keep it confidential!" The guard stuffed a letter into Qianhun's hand.

He opened it coldly, and after reading the contents of the letter, Qianhun's eyes dimmed and he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

At three o'clock in the morning, some of the guards stationed outside the prison gradually withdrew, leaving only patrolling guards walking back and forth.

A red lantern flickered in the distance, floating over, bringing a sense of mystery and weirdness in the dark night.

"Who is it?" the guard outside the prison shouted.

"It's me!" the young eunuch replied, gradually approaching with a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.

"Eunuch Deng, what's going on? Has the Emperor added more dishes to Miss Lan's meal?" The guard immediately joked when he saw that it was the eunuch in charge of delivering meals.

"This time it's for Prince Yongnan. The emperor said that the prince has suffered a lot, and asked me to bring him some good food!" said the little eunuch, entering through the prison door opened by the guards.

In the bedroom, Yue Chengning paced back and forth restlessly.

"Master!" Mo Si came in, "Master, it's done. King Yongnan has passed away!"

Yue Chengning's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and held his shoulders, "Are you sure? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes! Mo Si saw with his own eyes that King Yongnan ate the food and drank the wine. He also personally detected King Yongnan's breath. Mo Si is very sure that King Yongnan is indeed dead!"

Yue Chengning turned around, his whole body trembling. After a long while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long cry. He had been waiting and planning for so many years, and this day had finally come. Brother Emperor,

Did you see it? Did you see it?

Soon both of your sons will die in my hands. Haha, they are mine, and I will take them back eventually!

Facing Yue Chengning's madness, Mo Si called out anxiously, "Master, are you okay?"

Yue Chengning laughed loudly and looked back, his eyes bloodshot, "Mo Si, this king finally got what he wanted. Now you go with me to find the Queen Mother. There will be a good show at the court tomorrow morning!" After saying that, Yue Chengning quickly left the bedroom.

It was almost dawn, but the sun had not yet risen and the earth was still shrouded in darkness.

"Who?" The guards in the Queen Mother's bedroom asked loudly after seeing the two figures clearly.

"Prince Changning requests to see the Queen Mother!" Yue Chengning shouted loudly.

The guard stepped forward and said respectfully, "So it's Prince Changning. Look at the time now, the Queen Mother is still resting. If you have anything to say, please talk to her tomorrow morning!"

Prince Changning sneered and gave Mo Si a look. Mo Si immediately stepped forward and grabbed the guard's neck. When the other guards saw this, they immediately surrounded the two men, which alarmed the empress dowager who was in a light sleep.

Sitting up from the bed tiredly, the Queen Mother gathered her underwear and asked, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"Queen Dowager, something bad has happened. Prince Changning insists on seeing you. The guards said that you haven't gotten up yet, and Prince Changning's men have started fighting with the guards!" The eunuch hurriedly ran in to report.

"Chengning? What on earth does he want to do? Let him in!" The queen mother said with an unhappy look on her face. Immediately, a palace maid opened the curtain and helped her change clothes.

When Yue Chengning strode into the hall, the empress dowager had already finished her preparations and was sitting on the phoenix chair.

"Chengning, what's the emergency? What do you want to do at this hour?

? "The Queen Mother said coldly, looking at Yue Chengning unhappily.

"Sister-in-law, how dare Cheng Ning disturb your rest if it's not something very important!" He sneered, took a step forward and whispered, "It's about the will, the Queen Mother should dismiss the attendants!"

The Queen Mother was shocked. The will? Could it be... She felt something was wrong, but she had to dismiss the people around her.

"Just tell me whatever you want to say!" At this moment, the Queen Mother was really annoyed with Yue Chengning, and she no longer had her usual pleasant expression.

"Imperial sister-in-law, is this the will?" Yue Chengning sneered, took out the will from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it.

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed and she stood up suddenly. "You, you, you, how come the will is in your hands? Could it be you..."

"Sister-in-law, someone gave this thing to Cheng Ning, and Cheng Ning took it to see the emperor!" He smiled proudly, "Guess what the emperor did after seeing it? He ordered the killing of Yue Nanchen!"

The Queen Mother was startled and suddenly shouted, "What did you say? Xuan'er... Impossible! Yue Chengning, what do you want to do?"

"It was the Emperor who personally ordered me to do this. The Heavenly Prison is the Emperor's Heavenly Prison. Without the Emperor's order, how could I go in? Not to mention poisoning Yue Nanchen to death! Sister-in-law, tell me, if I take out the edict tomorrow and expose the fact that the Emperor poisoned the pillars of the country, what will be the reaction of the civil and military officials in the court?"

"Yue Chengning, what exactly do you want to do?" The Queen Mother's face turned pale and she cried out in grief.

"Of course I want to take back everything that belongs to me, sister-in-law. My brother and I fought together to build this country. Now that my brother is dead, the throne should naturally be mine. Why should I give it to his son?

He deceived me!"

Yue Chengning became excited, and he pressed on, "Now the time has finally come. Tomorrow, tomorrow the throne will be mine!"

"You... Yue Chengning, how come I didn't see your evil ambitions long ago? Your brother has long told me that you can't be trusted, but I still treat you as my own son.

Even closer than Xuan'er and Chen'er, why did you do this?" The Queen Mother trembled all over.

"That's because you feel you owe me something. You arranged for Dong Qing'er to marry me because you wanted to comfort me. Biological son? Are you worthy? You are just a palace maid of humble origin. Are you worthy of being my mother? My mother is a noble!"

Yue Chengning's face turned grim. "Now I have the will in my hand, and the person who should be the emperor is dead. You should know better than me what will happen tomorrow, right?"

The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, the pain eroding her heart bit by bit.

This is the Cheng Ning she trusts, this is Yue Cheng Ning whom she loves more than her own son since childhood. For him, she and Nanchen have become strangers. For him... Nanchen... Your mother is sorry for you!

"But since you've always been nice to me, I'll give you a chance!" Yue Chengning whispered, "Tomorrow morning, I want you to announce that Yue Nanxuan's throne is abolished and I will inherit it!"

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him coldly, "You are daydreaming!"

"In fact, this matter is very clear. Yue Nanxuan poisoned Yue Nanchen. He can't get away! I asked you to issue an order to depose him just to save some effort. My people have surrounded the palace. Think about it, without Yue Nanchen in Nanyue, who can be my opponent? And..."

He laughed sinisterly and grabbed the Queen Mother's neck fiercely, "If you agree, it's fine. If you don't agree, I will kill you now! At least if you agree, you and Yue Nanxuan can still live!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes in pain again. He was right. Without Yue Nanchen, there was really no one who could compete with Nanyue. If he was not absolutely sure, how could he reveal his true face?

Xuan Er made a mistake in a moment of confusion, and the ancestors of Nanyue will never forgive him! He is not worthy of being the emperor of Nanyue, but is Yue Chengning worthy? If he does not agree, Nanyue will fall into chaos. When the neighboring countries attack, coupled with civil unrest... At least let Yue Chengning be the emperor, so that Nanyue can be saved!

"How are you thinking about it? Sister-in-law, as long as you agree to me, you will be the empress dowager. Don't worry, I will treat you and Nanxuan well!" Yue Chengning sneered.

"Okay, I promise you, for Nanyue, Chengning, no matter how you treat me and Nanxuan, you are the descendant of Nanyue, you must treat the people of Nanyue well! If you can't do it, I will not forgive you even if I become a ghost!"

The Queen Mother spoke sternly. She bent her body with excitement, as if she had aged many years in an instant.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Nanyue is the product of my hard work. I will manage it well!" Yue Chengning said, and then shouted coldly, "Mo Si, come in!"

Mo Si walked in quickly, "Queen Mother, Mo Si will stay here and take you to the main hall in a while. Don't act rashly. Mo Si's martial arts are very powerful. He will kill you first! Do you understand?"

The Queen Mother curled up her body, her face pale, staring blankly at the morning light in the sky.
