Yun Hao hurriedly protested his innocence, "Princess, this is not my fault. My senior brother said he wanted to give you a surprise and asked me to keep it a secret. Well, I have something to take care of, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Yun Hao slipped away. He would rather anger his senior brother than provoke Princess Chang Le.
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu with a half-smile.
Xiao Yanchu touched his nose. "Well, Jin, I really wanted to give you a surprise."
"Alright, go back now. I'll take you to see your grandmother and great-uncle."
In fact, Su Ruojin already knew when she met Xiao Yanchu that he must have made an appointment with Yun Hao, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.
The longing in his eyes when he saw himself was unmistakable.
What else is there to argue about?
"Okay, let's go back."
Xiao Yanchu took Su Ruojin's hand and held it, and Su Ruojin let him hold her hand, a smile on her lips.
As for Emperor Kangwen, who was so angry that he almost fainted again, only Huang Rensheng was there to carefully serve him.
Huang Rensheng really wanted to find a hole to crawl into and hide; he really didn't want to hear the conversation between the Emperor and the Second Prince.
Huang Rensheng was surprised to learn that the Second Prince, who had always been like a transparent person, could also have such an imposing presence.
Just as Emperor Kangwen announced that Yunhao would be granted the title of Noble Prince, Yunhao spoke calmly.
"Father, do you think my eldest brother's private army didn't show up?"
Emperor Kangwen's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. He had spared the lives of Empress Sun and Yun Gan because, although Yun Gan had raised a private army, he had not come to force the emperor to abdicate like Yun Shao.
After speaking, Yun Hao took out a black and gold-inlaid token from his pocket. "This is the token of my eldest brother's private army. Oh, and the Regent of Great Chu is a reinforcement I invited. He is my senior brother."
When Su Ruojin went to General Xing's mansion, in addition to treating General Xing's leg injury, she also told General Xing about the whole matter and sought his help.
General Xing has always been a neutral party, wholeheartedly concerned for the safety of Yunqi. He never takes sides with any particular prince, remaining loyal only to Yunqi. Now that someone is trying to force him to abdicate, how can he accept that?
When Empress Sun issued the order to mobilize the private army, General Xing had already led his men to ambush them halfway, intercepted and killed the messenger, and then took the token to Tianning Temple, allowing the private army to rest on the spot and avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
Now that Yun Hao has the token, it means that the First Prince's 20,000 private soldiers have become his private soldiers.
With the help of the Regent of Great Chu, who in Yunqi can now rival Yun Hao?
"The fourth and fifth princes are still young. Does Father Emperor think they can support my Yunqi empire?"
Emperor Kangwen's face grew increasingly pale, and he looked at Yun Hao as if he were seeing him for the first time.
"By the way, Father, Princess Chang Le is my senior brother's betrothed. For my sake, she will surely make sure you have a comfortable stay for the last two months."
Finally, Emperor Kangwen, with trembling hands, stamped the imperial seal on the edict of succession.
Now, Yun Hao is the true emperor of Yun Qi.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health." Huang Rensheng patted Emperor Kangwen's chest.
Emperor Kangwen gradually calmed down from his initial anger and shock.
Suddenly Emperor Kangwen burst into laughter, startling Huang Rensheng.
Could it be that the Emperor couldn't handle the shock and has gone a little mad?
"Your Majesty... may this old servant go and fetch the imperial physician for you?" Huang Rensheng said anxiously.
"No need," Emperor Kangwen raised his hand to stop him.
"Good, good, good. I can't believe I have such a son. Yunqi has hope. I was obsessed before. But what does it matter if I lose a little finger? Huang Rensheng, get ready to accompany me to Chenji Palace."
Chenji Palace, Emperor Kangwen's largest temporary palace, is a day and a night's journey from Yuncheng.
"Your Majesty, how long will it take? This old servant will be prepared."
"Go... never mind, I won't come back. You may leave, I'm tired." Emperor Kangwen slowly closed his eyes.
