Jiang Yan looked at the situation coldly. He could see what Prince Changning was thinking at a glance. He wanted to depose Yue Nanxuan. Now that Prince Yongnan was dead, Yue Nanxuan was not qualified to be the emperor. The throne could only fall on Yue Chengning.
He came here in this military uniform to remind all the civil and military ministers that Nanyue still has him, the ever-victorious general, and the Prince of Changning who was almost named the crown prince!
"Prince Yongning, where is the will you keep talking about? Why don't you take it out and let us see it!"
Jiang Yan shouted in a deep voice, trying to turn the tide. He knew that if Prince Changning became the emperor, he would definitely not have a good ending. The career he had fought for for so many years must not be ruined.
"Okay, very good. I have been waiting for you to say this. I believe everyone is impatient, so I will let you see the real will!"
A streak of golden color spread out in the air, and after spinning in a sharp arc, everyone could clearly see the contents of the edict and the imperial seal. It was the mark of Nanyue's jade seal, there was no mistake about it!
Yue Nanxuan's expression was surprisingly calm. He looked coldly at Yue Chengning who was standing in the hall, and the corners of his lips curled up with interest. "Uncle, what do you mean by taking out this will? Now that Yue Nanchen is dead, what does it matter if my father wants Yue Nanchen to inherit the throne? I am the emperor now, I am the emperor!"
"Yue Nanxuan, you killed the regicide and usurped the throne, and you still want to be the emperor? It's just a daydream!" Yue Chengning sneered repeatedly.
"Oh?" Yue Nanxuan blinked his eyes, stroked his chin with his arm, and said frivolously, "I am not worthy of being the emperor. Who is worthy of being the emperor? You, my uncle?"
Yue Chengning looked coldly at Yue Nanxuan's unruly appearance.
He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. This man looked so terrified just now, why was he so calm now?
But he soon thought that Yue Nanxuan always had a strange temper, and maybe he was just being mysterious!
He calmed himself and shouted in a deep voice, "Whether Chengning becomes the emperor or not is up to the empress dowager and all the civil and military officials! Empress dowager, don't you have something to say?" After saying that, he turned to face the empress dowager, who was sitting on the side and sobbing softly.
Yue Nanxuan looked at the empress dowager calmly, and all the civil and military officials also looked at the empress dowager.
The empress dowager slowly raised her wrinkled face. Overnight, her hair turned white, as if she had aged by a dozen years. She looked coldly at the crazy light in Yue Chengning's eyes, and slowly stood up.
The palace maid beside her hurriedly supported her.
She slowly turned around and faced the numerous civil and military officials, "My dear ministers, I do have something to say!
I was wrong. I always thought that Nanchen was a cruel child, so when the late emperor passed away, I tampered with the imperial edict and let Xuaner inherit the throne. It was my momentary confusion that led to today's tragedy!
But Yue Chengning, I will bear the responsibility for my mistakes, and Xuan'er will also bear the responsibility for Xuan'er's mistakes. You want to usurp the throne, it's impossible! Even if I die, I will not be threatened by you and support you to ascend the throne!
Your wolfish ambition has been completely exposed to all of you, my dear ministers. Listen, this is all my fault. I will follow the late emperor with a foot of white silk. But Xuan'er's achievements as emperor are obvious to all. Apart from this incident, he is indeed a good emperor!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with tears. Her words were sincere and touching. They came from the bottom of her heart. All the civil and military officials nodded their heads.
When Prince Changning was demoted, many officials who had flattered him before treated him coldly and even made many sarcastic remarks.
Prince Changning has a gloomy personality and keeps his secrets to himself. He might want to settle accounts with him later... So he quickly made plans in his mind, but the emperor killed Prince Yongnan...
"Good emperor? How can the crime of regicide and usurpation of the throne be erased so easily? Yue Nanxuan, if you don't abdicate, don't blame your uncle for being ruthless. Your uncle is your elder and has the sword bestowed by the late emperor. It's not excessive for him to kill you!"
Yue Chengning didn't expect that the Queen Mother was such a tough nut to crack. Since peace couldn't resolve the issue, he would use force. Anyway, he was prepared for both situations!
Yue Chengning waved the sword in his hand and walked towards Yue Nanxuan step by step. The civil and military officials in the court were suddenly in chaos, and they all shouted to protect the emperor, but no one really dared to stop Yue Chengning.
Looking at Yue Nanxuan who was surrounded by guards, Yue Chengning couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, "King Yongnan is dead, who else in Nanyue can be my opponent? Get out of the way if you know what's good for you, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"
When the three words "Kill without mercy" came out of Yue Chengning's mouth, his whole body was boiling. His thin chin was raised high like a sharp blade, and his dark eyes were filled with a thin layer of blood and ferocity.
"Report!" A guard outside the palace came hurriedly and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, a team has gathered outside the palace gate and is attacking the palace gate!"
Civil and military officials were even more panicked.
"Prince Changning, are those people outside the palace gate your people?" Yue Nanxuan asked in a cold voice, standing high up on the main seat.
"Hahahaha, wait for me to kill this unfilial son who killed the king and usurped the throne!" Yue Chengning did not answer, but raised his sword and killed Yue Nanxuan.
Sparks flew, and his cold sword suddenly
The person who was stopped was a guard standing in front of him. He raised his face. He had an ordinary appearance except for a pair of bright and black eyes.
Yue Chengning was shocked. He didn't expect that a small guard could have such advanced martial arts to take his attack. He shouted coldly, "Who are you?"
The guard slowly raised his other arm, and with a sly grin, he tore off the mask on his face, revealing a young face full of smiles and pride. It was Qianhun!
"Qianhun? Do you think you can stop me?" Yue Chengning sneered and raised his sword again. Suddenly, a strong arm grabbed his arm from behind.
All the civil and military officials screamed in shock. They watched as Yue Nanchen's body, which had been stiff on the ground, suddenly jumped up. They were so scared that they quickly moved aside.
Yue Chengning slowly turned around amidst the screams, and the first thing she met was a pair of dark eyes, as cold and cruel as ten thousand years of ice, and containing an indescribable arrogance and stubbornness.
The owner of the eyes suddenly sneered, as steady as a mountain, as vast as the sea, and as vicious and ruthless as a rattlesnake.
Yue Nanchen, standing in front of him alive!
"Yue Nanchen?" When Yue Chengning's low voice of disbelief sounded, the frightened people seemed to finally understand. They stood there in a daze, as if they were stupid and foolish!
Victory or defeat seemed to depend on just one move. Everyone saw that the tall and slender figure subdued Yue Chengning with just one move.
Perhaps Yue Nanchen's resurrection made him unable to react for a while, or perhaps when he saw Yue Nanchen's face, he understood that the victory or defeat today was decided!
He easily snatched Yue Chengning's cold sword and placed it on his neck.
There was only anger and coldness in Nan Chen's eyes, "Prince Changning, you lose!"
When this deep and powerful voice slowly rang out in the hall, everyone felt the man's strength. They reacted suddenly and cheered. At the same time, the guards brought by Yue Chengning in the hall were also subdued.
"Impossible, impossible, I personally checked the body, you are indeed dead, how is it possible..." Yue Chengning stared at Yue Nanchen unwillingly.
"We have a miracle doctor, what are we afraid of?" Qian Hun walked down the stairs with a smile and winked at Yue Chengning ambiguously.
"Report! General Bai Ren led the Imperial Guards and the Tiger Battalion to defeat all the invading enemies, and most of them surrendered!" At this moment, a guard outside the hall reported again.
Yue Chengning's body shook, and he truly understood what it meant to be a hopeless situation.
He stared at Yue Nanchen with a grim face, "So all this was a trap set by you! And you, Yue Nanxuan, you actually deceived me!" He turned his head and stared at Yue Nanxuan, who was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed and making faces.
"Yue Chengning, do you know where you failed? You shouldn't pin all your hopes on a woman, and you shouldn't have such evil ambitions!" Yue Nanxuan laughed and kept making faces.
"This throne should have been mine. My brother promised me that he would make me the crown prince. He broke his promise and betrayed me! I have done so much for Nanyue and made so many contributions. But everything changed overnight! I cannot accept this!"
Yue Chengning shouted at the top of his lungs. He was not wrong, not wrong. He just wanted to take back everything that belonged to him. Why did God do this to him? Why?
