Chapter 123: Desperate Measures

“Oh? Older Sister’s meaning is……”

“Act tonight! So as not to have too many dreams in a long night!”

Empress of Yan gritted her teeth and said: “Aren’t you the Commander of the Capital Region Troops? Surround the Royal Palace! Kill the Foolish Ruler directly! Then I’ll let Third Young Master Ascend the Throne!”

“Suck in a Breath of Cold Air~!”

Upon hearing this, He Wu sucked in a breath of cold air: “Impossible! Sister! The Capital Region Troops are not allowed to enter the Royal Palace! The Imperial Guard is inside the Royal Palace, each with their own duties…… Privately dispatching troops into the Inner City is tantamount to Rebellion!”

“Heh!”

Empress of Yan sneered: “It was Rebellion in the first place, what does it matter if it is tantamount to it or not? You just tell your subordinates that Jiang Ming is a Demon, who has bewitched the King and caused him to lose his mind, and you are clearing the side of the ruler! Saving the King! After you kill your way into the Royal Palace, directly kill the Foolish Ruler, and then find a few ‘scapegoats’, won’t the matter be settled?”

“Sister! Calm down! Calm down!”

He Wu said: “This matter is Unreliable! The Imperial Guard’s Strength is very powerful, even if the people of the Capital Region Troops listen to me, they may not be able to defeat the Imperial Guard!”

“Hehe……”

Empress of Yan gave a cold smile: “Don’t worry! Three of the four Commanders of the Imperial Guard are Wall Flowers, you just launch the Attack, they will Watch from the sidelines! The remaining one in charge of the North Gate, Han Wei…… you can focus on attacking him!”

“Sister……”

He Wu was still a little uncertain, and said fearfully: “If the bow is drawn, there is no turning back…… If it fails…… Sister! It’s better for me to directly dispatch a Troop, and intercept and kill the King’s Eldest Son halfway, so that he cannot return to the country! This way, the King of Yan has no choice, and can only choose the Child born by you to Inherit the Throne!”

“You Fool!”

Empress of Yan scolded: “If it’s really like that, if the King of Yan investigates, won’t we still be finished? He can do the thing of keeping the mother and leaving the son! My God! Can you use your Brain, okay? At the moment…… only by seizing the Key, seizing power! This is the most urgent thing!”

Seeing that He Wu was still hesitating, Empress of Yan sighed with a Sadness expression: “Younger Brother, there are some things, I won’t hide them from you, the Assassin who assassinated the Princess, is exactly the one I sent out……”

“What what what?”

He Wu looked shocked: “Sister! Then…… that Assassin, was sent by you?”

“Exactly!”

Empress of Yan pondered: “Originally, I had persuaded the King, to Abolish the Crown Prince, and establish Third Young Master as the Heir Apparent, but as a result…… that Bitch, that Widow, had to Long Tongue to instigate the King, to continue to let that consumptive ghost be the Crown Prince! So……”

“Oh my! Sister!”

He Wu said in alarm: “Then…… does the King know that you sent him?”

Empress of Yan’s Eyebrows were knotted into a Hitch, and she pondered: “Logically speaking, Ding Ji shouldn’t Betray me…… but, he is now in Jiang Ming’s hands, under Torture, I can’t guarantee, and…… today in the hall, that brat’s Eyes, really full of Provocation, I think, he should have already asked……”

“Sister!”

He Wu suggested: “Then the King won’t necessarily believe him unilaterally, right? Then we will say that Ding Ji is biting people randomly, wanting to make our Yan Kingdom’s Court a mess!”

“Do you really think Ji Xi is a Fool, right?”

Empress of Yan was annoyed: “Even if he believes our words, what is the Meaning? His Eldest Son is already on his way to the Yan Kingdom…… Ji Xi’s lifespan is also near, we simply don’t have the Opportunity and Time to make a long-term plan!”

Having said this, Empress of Yan directly kneeled down to He Wu.

“Sister! Don’t do this!”

“Good Younger Brother!”

Empress of Yan tightly held He Wu’s hand and said: “Now, only you can save Sister…… If I become the Queen Mother, won’t this whole Yan Kingdom listen to you? At this time, taking a step forward, is a lifetime of Wealth and Glory, taking a step back, is an abyss, there is no room for compromise…… If you shrink back at this time, then you won’t even be allowed to eat shit, wanting to be a Slave is a luxury…… Our Whole Family will be ruined!”

“Suck in a Breath of Cold Air~! Alright!”

He Wu slapped his Thigh, stood up, and said with a Fierce expression: “Sister! I’ll listen to you! What do you say to do, I’ll do what you say?”

“Good Younger Brother! Act immediately!”

Empress of Yan said: “Tonight, I will make the Foolish Ruler die, and tomorrow morning, my son will immediately Ascend the Throne!”

“Good!”

He Wu was still a little worried, and said: “Sister, or…… why don’t you go with me now? I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone in the Palace!”

Empress of Yan said: “It’s okay, I’ll go and suppress the Imperial Guard, with me here, they won’t stop you!”

“Okay! Sister, with your words, I feel relieved!”

…….

At the hour of Hai, the Imperial Guard of the Yan Palace was still patrolling and standing guard inside and outside the Royal Palace.

And Empress of Yan asked the Palace Maids to bring good wine and Roasted Meat, and also Pancakes, to reward the Soldiers.

“Oh, Her Majesty the Queen, why are you here?” A Commander of the Imperial Guard asked in surprise.

Empress of Yan pretended to wipe away her tears and said: “Soldiers, you have worked hard, year after year, day after day, to Defend the City for me and the King, but we, the Married Couple, have never done anything for the Soldiers? Now that the weather is cold, the Soldiers are working hard to Defend the City, I have come to Comfort and Reward the Soldiers…….”

After that, Empress of Yan brought up the steaming Pancakes and Roasted Meat.

It is winter now, and the temperature is very low at Night.

The ancient Soldiers, didn’t have any warm baby things, one by one, they were cold and hungry, and when they saw the Pancakes brought by Empress of Yan, these Imperial Guard Soldiers, one by one, their cheeks were sore, and they rushed to grab them……

“Her Majesty the Queen…… why are you crying?” Another Commander of the Imperial Guard asked with concern.

“Uh…… nothing……”

Empress of Yan said with a seemingly open-minded attitude: “Perhaps…… there was sand in my eyes, right?”

Having said this, Empress of Yan could no longer ‘restrain herself’, and sobbed!

Her actions made this group of rough Men of the Imperial Guard, one by one, panicked and immediately knelt down in a large area!

“Her Majesty the Queen!”

A Commander of the Imperial Guard knelt on one knee and raised his hand in salute: “Her Majesty the Queen has always been very kind to us, these smelly soldiers! Brothers…… all have Madam’s goodness in their hearts! If Her Majesty the Queen has any Wrongs, as long as we can help, we will Go Through Fire and Water, and be Duty-bound!”

“Yes! Her Majesty the Queen!”

Another Commander of the Imperial Guard also said: “Her Majesty the Queen sent us food late at night, sympathizing with our Hunger and Cold, this is no different from a real mother! Although our Official Position is humble, we cannot help much, but we are also willing to, within our Ability, Share Worries for Her Majesty the Queen……”

Those Soldiers Defending the City, one by one, also cast Sympathetic and Pitying Eyes towards Empress of Yan……

“Soldiers, I’m really fine, eat quickly, in a moment…… the food will be cold!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the 30,000 Capital Region Troops led by He Wu, entered from the Outer City in a mighty manner……
