The old Emperor was speechless.
Was Qian Jiyun saying this on purpose? He knew he had sent someone to kill his eldest son.
However, the Emperor did not dare to say that, so he could only rage in secret. Was Qian Jiyun intending to capture him to avenge the Eldest Prince? He had to see if he was capable of that!
Moreover, he did not know how to respond.
How should he respond? Should he tell Qian Jiyun to investigate?
But what if Qian Jiyun’s intention to investigate the Third Prince’s death was false, and he actually wanted to get the military token from him?
Would he be able to hand over what he had? Impossible.
“I’ll leave it up to you to find the Third Prince. Jiyun, you must assist the Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review in finding the Third Prince quickly.”
“I understand. I’ll do my best to uncover the mastermind behind the Third Prince’s assassination and kill those who plotted against the Emperor’s heir for personal gain!”
Qian Jiyun bowed to the old Emperor but his eyes soon turned sharp as he looked at him.
The old Emperor tensed immediately.
He was the one who had sent people to kill the Eldest Prince. Was this kid threatening him? Or did he already know something?
However, it was inevitable that he would know. Although he could deceive the world, Qian Jiyun had too many eyes and ears in the capital. Besides, he had teamed up with the Third Prince.
Now that he had entered the palace, he might have already met the Third Prince earlier, right?
With that in mind, he grew even more determined to eliminate Qian Jiyun. How could he sit firmly on the throne if Qian Jiyun was alive?
He was still young. Even if all those unfilial sons died, he wouldn’t. Hence, he did not care about those useless princes.
He only cared about the increasingly powerful Qian Jiyun, Prince Zhan Yun. He feared him greatly but repeatedly failed to kill him!
After the morning court assembly, the old Emperor became increasingly concerned that something was amiss the more he thought about it.
“Send someone to summon Prince Zhan Yun here immediately. Tell him I have something to discuss with him.”
Before the old Emperor’s sedan chair could even reach the imperial study, he beckoned to the eunuch beside him, instructing him to call Qian Jiyun back.
No one expected Qian Jiyun to become increasingly uncontrollable after leaving the palace… No, he was beyond control.
Hence, his only option now was to eliminate Qian Jiyun inside the palace.
“Your Majesty…”
When the eunuch heard the old Emperor’s words and saw his gloomy face, he knew what he wanted to do.
The eunuch wanted to advise him that dealing with Qian Jiyun in the palace was too risky. It would cause a huge commotion and the entire court would find out about it.
If he could kill Qian Jiyun, that would be good, but if he couldn’t, there would be too much consequences.
“Hurry up and go!”
The old Emperor did not have the patience to listen to a little eunuch’s advice. Seeing him hesitate, he growled at him.
“Yes, I’ll summon Prince Zhan Yun now.”
The eunuch did not dare to say anything else and jogged away.
He did not dare to go against the Emperor. He was not as capable as Prince Zhan Yun, who could always make the old Emperor so angry that steam practically came out of his ears.
“Qian Jiyun, you deserve to die!”
The old Emperor gestured for them to continue walking. He wanted to return to the imperial study to make arrangements early.
