Chapter 1459: Sparing No One

In other words, the Three Guards and the imperial guards were all under Qian Jiyun’s control? And he had just killed more than half of his shadow guards earlier, right?

Wasn’t he now an emperor whose authority had been stripped away?

“Good! Good job, Qian Jiyun! Good job!”

He regretted putting Qian Jiyun in an important position back then. If he had known things would turn out like this, he would not have granted Qian Jiyun so much military power, no matter how tempting the treasure was to him!

“I regret not killing you back then!”

“Unfortunately, any regret is useless now. You can’t kill me,” Qian Jiyun said bluntly with a smile.

The old Emperor took a deep breath. He did not know how Qian Jiyun could force him to this point.

If Qian Jiyun was telling the truth, he would not have any room to resist. He would soon lose the throne, right?

“I can pa.s.s the throne to the Third Prince, but you have to hand over all your authority and share it with him, Prince De, and Prince Sui. I won’t allow someone like you to wield so much power in Daqing Kingdom!”

“Ha!” Qian Jiyun smiled.

The old Emperor was still struggling on the verge of death.

“Your Majesty, you’re already so old. Why are you still so naive?”

“You…”

The old Emperor wanted to speak again, but Qian Jiyun interrupted him.

“Your Majesty, if this is what you think, you still have a chance to pa.s.s the throne to the Third Prince. This ensures that Daqing Kingdom’s royal family retains the surname Yan.

“However, if you refuse to hand over the throne, I don’t mind using force to take down Daqing Kingdom. But when the time comes, do you think the royal family’s surname will be Yan or Qian?”

The old Emperor gritted his teeth and exclaimed hatefully, “Don’t you dare!”

However, he knew Qian Jiyun would dare to do so. Since he dared to say such things in front of him, there was nothing he would be afraid to do.

He had planned on using the people around Qian Jiyun to easily trample and eliminate him.

Unexpectedly, the roles were flipped. He was the one who got crushed in the mud.

“Do you really think I won’t have any backup plans? Qian Jiyun, why don’t you leave the palace now and see if your wife and your residence are still around?”

He was confident that his men would capture An Jiuyue.

However, he had overlooked a problem. He had done the same to counter Qian Jiyun back then, but An Jiuyue had poisoned all of the people he had sent, sparing no one.

He thought Qian Jiyun would be afraid of him, but he only glanced at him indifferently and sneered.

“Your Majesty, you are quite confident in your shadow guards.”

The old Emperor’s lips stiffened and twitched. He did not understand where Qian Jiyun got his confidence from. Did he believe his shadow guards could not deal with a woman?

Yes, he knew An Jiuyue was not easy to deal with, so he sent elites of the shadow guards.

Each of them could fight 10 enemies at once. Moreover, a few of them were poison experts. It was almost impossible for An Jiuyue to poison them.
