The emperor has decided to break off relations with Qin Hanwu on the day of his wedding.
He had no choice but to resort to this tactic, as he had been trying to take back Qin Hanwu's military power but Qin Hanwu refused to cooperate.
"Your Majesty, I have come here today for two reasons. First, to congratulate you on your wedding. Second, you have held military power for so long, it is time to relinquish it. Hand over the military tally!"
If we hand it over, we can live in peace; otherwise…
The emperor didn't finish his sentence, but it was full of threat.
Although he was the emperor, Qin Hanwu was not afraid of him at all.
"Otherwise, what does Your Majesty intend to do? Openly rob them? I'm not afraid to tell you, these soldiers were all personally trained by me. Even without the military tally, they still obey my orders."
As for you, Your Majesty, even if you possess the military tally, it's useless; they won't obey you.
Upon hearing Qin Hanwu's words, the emperor's face turned green. He never imagined that his soldiers had become like this.
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have let him train soldiers and lead them into battle.
But the emperor himself didn't realize that if it weren't for Emperor Wu of Qin and Han, the Qin Dynasty might have been gone long ago.
He has no chance to stand here and talk to Qin Hanwu.
"Your Majesty, you must make those soldiers obey me, or you will regret it."
For some reason, upon hearing his words, Qin Hanwu had a bad feeling.
He didn't know how to describe the feeling, but it just made him very uncomfortable.
Just then, a soldier rushed over to the emperor and whispered something in his ear.
Upon hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter, indicating that he had encountered something very pleasant.
The soldier who came over suddenly took something out of his pocket and handed it to the emperor.
Others didn't know what this thing was, but Qin Hanwu, who was watching from the side, could see it clearly. Moreover, he recognized the thing in the emperor's hand at first glance; it belonged to Jiang Jingyue.
“What did you do to her? If you have a problem, take it out on me. Why did you lay a hand on a weak woman?”
Seeing Qin Hanwu's reaction, the emperor knew he had done the right thing. Judging from his expression, he must care a lot about that woman.
The emperor became excited at the thought.
For so long, he had been unable to find something to control Qin Hanwu, but now he had finally found it.
"That woman is now in my hands. If you want her back, you'll have to exchange her for the military tally. Luckily, you reminded me. I hope that when you come to exchange her, the soldiers will be following my orders. Otherwise, I won't give her back to you."
When Qin Hanwu heard these words, he was furious. However, since it was the emperor speaking, he was not sure whether Jiang Jingyue was in his hands or not, so he dared not make any rash moves at this moment.
"Your Majesty, as long as you can guarantee my wife's safety, I will give you anything you want."
The emperor had been waiting for Qin Hanwu to say just that. Upon hearing it, he led his soldiers to prepare to leave.
As he was leaving, he suddenly stopped and looked at Qin Hanwu.
"Your Majesty, I am giving you three days. I hope you can make the necessary arrangements during these three days. I will be waiting for you in the palace."
After he left, someone around Qin Hanwu suddenly spoke up.
"Your Highness, let's rebel against him! With our current abilities, it would be easy for us to rebel against him. Since he came to power, he has never done anything that would benefit the people. Instead, he has caused many people to be displaced and homeless."
All of this was because he was dissolute and extravagant, which emptied the national treasury. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he sent soldiers to plunder the people.
He is utterly unfit to be emperor, Your Highness! Listen to me, rebel against him!
The people around them echoed this sentiment, also believing that now was the perfect opportunity to overthrow the scoundrel emperor.
Qin Hanwu hesitated. Jiang Jingyue had been captured by the emperor, and he couldn't act rashly. Otherwise, if the emperor did something to Jiang Jingyue in a fit of anger, he would collapse.
"No, right now the most important thing is to find the princess. Her safety is the most important thing. We can make plans after we find her."
Hearing Qin Hanwu say this, the others could only nod in agreement. After all, she was the prince's woman, and it was indeed necessary to find a good match for her first.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Yehan began to make arrangements.
"You lot, each take one of our men and search high and low, dig three feet into the ground, find the princess for me. You must not let her get hurt, understand?"
When Jiang Jingyue regained consciousness and woke up, she was still somewhat disoriented.
The main problem is that she has no idea where she is; it seems she's in a carriage.
But shouldn't she be preparing for her wedding? Why did she wake up in a completely different place?
Jiang Jingyue then realized that her hands were still tied, which left her completely bewildered.
She...she couldn't have been kidnapped from her wedding! If it wasn't kidnapping, there's no other way to explain it!
"Master, what's going on?! How come I was tied up the moment I woke up?!"
"Host, you have been brought here by the emperor. He intends to use you to threaten the regent and force him to hand over the military seal."
"The military tally is such an important item, do you think the Regent would hand it over because of you?"
Jiang Jingyue couldn't guarantee that. What if the Regent thought she wasn't worth it?
"Chief, if he doesn't come to replace me, does that mean I'm doomed and the mission has failed?"
The system paused for a moment before speaking.
"That's exactly what we mean. But host, don't underestimate our target. He's someone we've been carefully selecting for a long time, so he definitely won't abandon you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that they wouldn't abandon her; after all, she was carrying several children.
She didn't want to die like this.
Jiang Jingyue sensed that the carriage had slowly come to a stop, but she didn't know what had happened.
