Chapter 238 The Beginning of the Panic and Conspiracy

The empress didn't expect that such an earthshaking change would happen within one day! The Liu family would be killed definitely for taking over the power and revolting. So, what about her?

The emperor was dead, and she would certainly not be able to get rid of the relationship with the Liu family. Originally, they assumed that when Qi Liange ascended the throne, the Liu family could control him as well. Now, it seemed that everything was just a ridiculous delusion!

“Get this woman immediately into the prison! Let her wait to reunite with the people of the Liu family.” Qi Liange turned to look at the empress and said coldly.

The empress could not speak but shook her head desperately when hearing his words.

Qi Liange looked at the empress who shook her head while crying and running at the nose. He frowned in disgust spontaneously and said slowly, “Do you think I will let you go by putting you in jail? Don't worry. When all your families are reunited, I will let them die slowly together. You will also feel the pain that is a hundred times worse than that of my queen mother when you forced my queen mother to die in those days.”

The empress was extremely frightened in her mind when she heard Qi Liange's words. She couldn't imagine how Qi Liange would deal with her at all.

After being off the hook, the empress crawled towards Qi Liange, hoping that Qi Liange could spare her life.

She was still young and did not want to die.

“Take her down!” Qi Liange gave the empress a look of disgust and said coldly.

His eyes were filled with lingering hatred.

It was unknown when the guards came in. They came forward to seize the empress and sent her into the jail, regardless of her struggle.

Qi Muyuan watched the empress who was confounded leave, finally with some relief in her mind. It was this vicious woman who killed her queen mother. All she suffered today was her retribution!

“Now, immediately send some people to surround the prime minister's mansion. Even a worm should not be released! Seize all the people of the prime minister's mansion and put them in jail! Especially Liu Muwei! You must seize him!” Qi Liange handed over an imperial edict to one of the men in black and said calmly.

The man in black took the imperial edict from Qi Liange. Then he took the order and left.

“Chang Gui, let's report to the world that the emperor is dead.” Qi Liange walked to the side of the emperor and said in a low voice.

The Liu family deserved this punishment for their crimes, but the price was too high, and he abandoned his close relatives.

“Crown prince, all the ministers are already waiting outside the palace.” As soon as Chang Gui wanted to answer, the general of the palace guards already said first.

He was a person who had followed Qi Liange for a long time and understood Qi Liange's mood at this moment, but many things could not be delayed.

Qi Liange listened to his words and said slowly, “I know. Let all of them go to Zhao Yang Palace and wait.”

“I will follow your order!” The general of the palace guards took the order and left.

“Muyuan, I left an ancient zither in the Eastern Palace. You go there and get it. That's the thing our queen mother left. Let our father sleep and die together with our queen mother's ancient zither.” Qi Liange looked at her sister whose eyes were red and said softly.

Hearing this, Qi Muyuan nodded and then turned to leave.

She really wanted to get some air outside at this moment.

“Chang Gui, go and fetch my father's clothes. I, the crown prince, will change the clothes for my father.” Qi Liange ordered.

And Chang Gui also followed his order and went to get the clothes.

“Father, I will certainly be a good emperor and will always make you and my queen mother proud.” Qi Liange choked with sobs.

“Crown prince…, you should go to Zhao Yang Palace now. In the future, the Nanyue Dynasty will depend on you. This is my last time to call you like this. Since then, you will be the emperor of the Nanyue Dynasty and dominate the whole country. I believe you will be a very good emperor.” Chang Gui looked at Qi Liange who changed the clothes for the emperor and sighed with emotion, saying.

“Chang Gui, Thanks for being with my father for so many years. After my father is buried, you can leave the palace and live a peaceful life in your old age.” Qi Liange looked at the loyal old slave and said gratefully.

Chang Gui listened to Qi Liange's words and then shook his head gently, saying, “Emperor, please let me still stay in the palace. The deceased emperor has already passed away. I want to watch you grow up for the deceased emperor. I have been in the Imperial Palace for decades and have no worries outside. I have devoted my whole life to the Imperial Palace.”

Qi Liange sighed with emotion in his mind after hearing Chang Gui's remarks and then nodded, saying, “In this case, you can continue to stay with me. If you are tired one day and want to have a rest, you can tell me.”

Chang Gui listened to Qi Liange's words and gently nodded, saying, “Emperor, thank you a lot for your generosity.”

And Qi Liange also took some people to Zhao Yang Palace and went away. After arranging everything, he mourned along with all the ministers but was delighted when ascending the throne. Qi Liange stood high in the palace, looking at all kinds of eyes of his ministers, only to feel sad in his heart.

Had his father been looking at such eyes and living alone for so many years?

In the future, he would walk on this road. Could he walk on the road smoothly and correctly?

Searching his heart, Qi Liange sighed softly in his heart, thinking that since he had already embarked on this road, he could no longer regret.

No one would object to Qi Liange to ascend the throne. That was a thing that everyone wanted to see. However, Liu Muwei's action of taking over the power and revolting still aroused an uproar with some sighs.

People who originally didn't believe it all closed their mouths after they saw the evidence presented by Chang Gui. Some people who colluded with Liu Muwei were also arrested on the spot.

They all confessed to collaborating with Liu Muwei before.

However, Qi Muyuan, who went to the Eastern Palace to get the ancient zither had just fetched it and wanted to go back. Suddenly, she saw a flash of a black shadow. When she wanted to shout, she lost her consciousness, with the pain in her neck.

Qi Muyuan, who felt dizzy at this moment, fell to the ground directly.

And on this side, Qi Liange, who was waiting for the news, saw a general of the palace guards come to Zhao Yang Palace in a hurry. His uneasiness in his heart finally came true.

“Emperor, when I arrived at the prime minister's mansion, Liu Muwei, the criminal, and his daughter, Liu Zixi, had disappeared already, but all the other concubines and henchmen are captured.” The general of the palace guards said seriously.

After listening to the words of the general of the palace guards, Qi Liange's brows wrinkled slightly, and the vermilion on his forehead became even redder.

“Close the city gate and conduct a full search. We must capture Liu Muwei and Liu Zixi alive.” Qi Liange said in a heavy voice.

If Liu Muwei and Liu Zixi escaped, he did not know what would happen.

After saying that, Qi Liange heard a burst of anxious cries.

“Emperor! Bad news!” A little maid-in-waiting stumbled into Zhao Yang Palace.

“Why are you so noisy?” Chang Gui said in a heavy voice.

The little maid-in-waiting knelt on the ground and said anxiously, “I am from the Eastern Palace. Princess Muyuan came to the Eastern Palace to get the ancient zither just now, but it had been a long time since Princess entered the palace. So, I entered, only to find that Princess was missing, while the ancient zither fell to the ground, and the window of the backyard was opened.”

Qi Liange heard the report from the little maid-in-waiting, and his breath stopped for a moment. His heart missed a beat.

Muyuan was his last relative, and he must not allow her to get into any danger!

Hearing this, all the ministers came to an uproar. Who kidnapped Princess Muyuan on earth?

Qi Liange was somewhat clear about who kidnapped her in his mind, but it was because he knew who the kidnapper was that he was more worried about Muyuan.

The Liu family was now so miserable and frustrated. Apart from Liu Muwei, he couldn't think of anyone who could kidnap Muyuan. Liu Muwei would not embarrass Muyuan if he was still sane. After all, he still wanted to use Muyuan to negotiate with him.

However, Liu Zixi was a frenzied woman. How could he rest assured since Muyuan was caught by Liu Zixi?

“Have you seen Suxiao?” Qi Liange asked loudly.

But the person in black coming from nowhere whispered beside Qi Liange, “Emperor, after you ordered him to do the task, Suxiao disappeared totally.”

Qi Liange heard the report from the man in black. A pair of peach-blossom-like eyes had already been stained with frost. At the corners of his mouth, there was a smile with some bloodthirsty senses, and he said, “Search everywhere of the city. They can't run very far. It's absolutely impossible to leave the city. Capture Suxiao alive and come to see me. If there is any resistance, just don't kill him and spare his life. The fate of betraying me is definitely not what he wants to see.”

Seeing Qi Liange like this, all the ministers suffered a hard shock in their hearts. Such an emperor was the person they had never seen before, but he made them fear at the bottom of their hearts.

Was this the real appearance of their emperor?

The news of the death of the emperor of the Nanyue Dynasty spread rapidly in the empire's capital, and the whole country mourned.

On this side, in the posthouse, Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue both kept silent.

Jun Yeyan did not know how much Qi Liange had said to Bai Aoxue. He was not sure in his mind and did not dare to say more.

But such silence was beyond his tolerance. Even if Bai Aoxue beat him and scolded him, he could still put up with it. But he didn't want her to be so silent, which made him feel too depressed.

“Xue…” Jun Yeyan started to say first, but he didn't know how to say it.

“I just want to know what happened to my uncle. Qi Liange told me that Luoyan was taken back to the Mobei Dynasty. Then what about my uncle? How is my uncle now?” Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan and said word for word.

Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue like this and knew that she would not listen to him, no matter what he said now.

“I don't know what the specific situation is. Luoyan was taken back to the Mobei Dynasty, and your uncle returned to the barracks. However, the news came over two days ago that Jun Wuhen sent his troops into the garrison camp of the Chengxi Dynasty. It seems that Mobei Dynasty is going to hold an important celebration. It is very lively now. I asked some people to enter the Imperial Palace to look for Luoyan, but there has been no sign of Luoyan, and your uncle seems to be under arrest in the house now.” Jun Yeyan said gently, with nothing to hide.

This was the only news he knew, and he did not know anything else.

On hearing Jun Yeyan's words, Bai Aoxue felt a panic in her heart. Why did Jun Wuhen do this? Why did Luoyan disappear? These were all questions.

“Did Jun Wuhen plan to send his people to replace my uncle's position?” After thinking for a while, Bai Aoxue looked up at Jun Yeyan and said.

When Jun Yeyan listened to the words of Bai Aoxue, he was astonished slightly and nodded immediately. He had thought about this possibility already, and this was also the most consistent method with Jun Wuhen's style of doing things.

“I have already sent some people to closely watch every move over there, and they will report in time if there is any problem. You don't have to worry about your uncle too much. As soon as the thing of the Nanyue Dynasty is over, we'll go to the Mobei Dynasty, okay?” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue and said in a sincere tone with some prayers in his words.

“How soon can we leave the Nanyue Dynasty?” Bai Aoxue breathed deeply. She looked at Jun Yeyan calmly and said.

Just as Jun Yeyan was about to answer, Zhao's voice sounded outside the door.

“Master, someone outside sent by General Ye Zhaojue said that he wanted to see Princess.” Zhao looked at the man beside him and said in a heavy voice.

When Bai Aoxue heard this, she first said, “Bring him in!”
