Emperor Chongde's face darkened slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are your father's most outstanding son."
He was the best, but not the most trusted or the most favored.
On the contrary, they are the ones we fear the most and the ones we are most worried about.
Yan Huai's calm eyes concealed deep and complex emotions. He remained silent, but the other party couldn't help but urge him:
"Kill her! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Yan Huai remained unmoved, and Emperor Chongde's gaze finally turned cold: "Crown Prince, you have disappointed me greatly!"
Hearing this, he smiled instead, a faint smile curving his lips: "No matter what I do, Father will not be satisfied, will he?"
Emperor Chongde was too lazy to argue with him. His cool gaze fell on Yan Mingyi, and his heart was filled with murderous intent. He was almost unable to control his excitement.
This is a golden opportunity to wipe out the Princess's power in one fell swoop!
He had been coveting that mysterious Qianlin Guard for a long time, and today would also be Yan Mingyi's death day!
He simply raised his hand, and the Imperial Guards who had been obeying the Third Prince's orders instantly surrounded the Princess, pointing their knives at her. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
The Third Prince was so shocked he was numb, staring blankly at the scene.
He then realized that his plan, which he thought was flawless, was nothing but a joke!
The killing intent seemed tangible, and Yan Mingyi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Your Majesty thinks too highly of me."
Emperor Chongde narrowed his eyes slightly: "My imperial sister always manages to escape death, so I must be cautious?"
Yan Mingyi was no weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken; her pampered hands had also held a sword before!
I just wonder if she can still lift a sword after all these years.
A cold, mocking glint flashed in his eyes. Yan Mingyi raised his hand and clapped his hands, seemingly in admiration: "Inviting the enemy into a trap, what a brilliant scheme!"
The seemingly passive person always holds the initiative, and even each person is under his control. Who wouldn't say he's brilliant?
When it comes to scheming, who can compare to this supreme ruler sitting high in the hall?
Emperor Chongde stood up. His grand plan was about to succeed. His brows relaxed, revealing a subtle pleasure, and he slowly descended the steps.
"If my royal sister were to hand over the tiger tally for the Qianlin Guard now, I might spare your life."
If the Qianlin Guards fight to the death, he will suffer losses. If he can take them down without losing a single soldier, that would be the best outcome.
"Your Majesty has countless men serving under your command, why would you still be eyeing my 20,000 men?" Yan Mingyi teased lightly, but Emperor Chongde's face darkened.
Indeed, given his current position, he could easily build an army entirely of his own if he wanted to.
But he remained resentful. The precious sword that his father had personally forged was handed over to Yan Mingyi. Was it because he was inferior to her?
This incident became a thorn in his heart, one that he could never let go of for the rest of his life!
A cold glint appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and snatched the sword from the person next to him, the tip of the blade suddenly pointing at Yan Mingyi's throat. His voice was filled with danger: "Mingyi, don't displease me."
