Chapter 54: The killing mad Xiao Yan!
Upon hearing this, Shang Haitang didn't give the man a chance to react and directly struck him with his sword!
Xiao Yan went crazy and killed people!
"How dare you, you little brat!"
"Do you really think we are vegetarians?"
"Your Highness, the 30,000 Royal Guards outside the city are not vegetarians. I suspect you want to usurp the throne. The Royal Guards have the right to intervene!"
"Your Highness, please hand over the power of regent and go back to study hard. It will not be too late to come back when you have the ability. There are old ministers in this court, so there will be no problem!"
Xiao Yan immediately laughed: "Why? Is the Prime Minister planning a rebellion?"
Hu Zhenghe would naturally not admit it: "Your Highness, don't put the blame on me. I think that the matter is of great importance at this time. I think Your Highness is not capable enough. You should focus on studying state affairs!"
"It's never too late to come back when you are capable enough!"
Shang Haitang was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Hu Zhenghe had already taken control of the Imperial Guards.
After all, this is no joke.
That’s a full 30,000-strong army, not just 30,000 ants!
"lack of ability?"
"I think the Prime Minister has revealed his true colors. Why is he going to reveal his ambitions so soon?"
Hu Zhenghe said righteously: "Your Highness, I have no ambitions. I am only considering the interests of the Great Zhou!"
"After all, this world belongs to the royal family. I think Your Highness is not capable enough. Please hand over the power of regent and let the second prince be the regent!"
Xiao Yan knew that it was impossible to accuse him of treason.
Hu Zhenghe wants to get to the top, but he won't do it directly. He will definitely support a puppet of his own.
Xiao Ding is the puppet he trained in the palace!
"Xiao Ding? Is he worthy?"
"It's not that I look down on him, but with his character, the country will be destroyed when he governs!"
Hu Zhenghe sneered upon hearing this and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about that. After all, as long as I am here, this country will never perish!"
"Your Highness, please hand over the power of regent, and do not force me to use the power of Prime Minister!"
"The soldiers outside the city are ready!"
The pressure has come to this point, and Hu Zhenghe is not going to back down!
If we miss this opportunity today, it will be almost impossible to push Xiao Yan off the altar!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In fact, Xiao Yan was not unprepared. If he took action now, he would be able to take down Hu Zhenghe.
After all, they are now in the palace and he has the imperial guards at his disposal, so it is not a problem to capture these people.
But now is not the time to take action. Taking action now will only escalate the conflict and may even lead to bigger problems.
"Then don't blame me..."
Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, the voice of his eunuch was heard.
"The Queen has arrived!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xiao Yan really wants to take action, these people will definitely not be able to escape!
Hu Shanxiang arrived just in time and eased the tense atmosphere.
"Greetings, Madam!"
These officials saluted directly at this time to change the atmosphere.
"What are you doing? His Majesty is unconscious, and you are not thinking about how to wake him up, but are making trouble here. Do you really think no one can control you?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and even Hu Zhenghe looked at Hu Shanxiang with strange eyes.
In this situation, shouldn't Hu Shanxiang join in forcing Xiao Yan to step down? Why did it turn out the other way around?
"Your Majesty, as officials of the Great Zhou, we should consider the interests of the court. The Crown Prince is protecting the criminals who are plotting to murder Your Majesty. We believe that other intentions and is unworthy of the position. We request that the Crown Prince hand over the power of regent and let the Second Prince be the regent!"
Hu Zhenghe was reminding Hu Shanxiang that they were in the same group.
But what didn’t seem like it was that Hu Shanxiang got directly angry.
"presumptuous!"
"You are very clear about how the Crown Prince has been doing during this period of time?"
"You are not worthy of your position. Just because of your negligence, His Majesty suffered, and you want to seize power?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
After hearing this, Hu Zhenghe finally understood that it would be difficult to fool his daughter!
Before, I could hold it in my hand and manipulate it at will, but now it is not the case.
How could he know that Xiao Yan and Hu Shanxiang had reached an agreement.
"Your Majesty's safety is related to the fate of the country, so you have no choice but to do this!"
Hu Shanxiang narrowed her eyes.
"Why, does the Prime Minister mean that we must take away the Crown Prince's power as regent today?"
"I know better than you what kind of person the Second Prince is. He is not fit to be the regent!"
"Meanwhile, the prince is still here. Will it be his turn?"
"If you continue to have such thoughts, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hu Zhenghe couldn't understand why Hu Shanxiang was so on Xiao Yan's side at this moment. It was not like this before!
"Does your Majesty really want to take care of this matter?"
Hu Zhenghe then expressed his doubts and dissatisfaction.
Hu Shanxiang nodded and said, "Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this involves the reputation of the royal family, so I have to intervene in this matter!"
Hu Zhenghe also nodded: "Okay, very good!"
"Then we can only wait for Your Majesty to wake up and impeach the Crown Prince. We will never give up on this matter!"
At this moment, the conflict between Hu Zhenghe and Xiao Yan was completely intensified!
"I'll just wait!"
Hu Zhenghe knew that he would gain nothing if he continued. After all, this was in the deep palace, and even if 30,000 troops came in, he might not be able to escape.
Now is not the time to take action. If I do, there is no way I will be able to escape unscathed!
Since his great cause has not been accomplished yet, he obviously won't put himself in it!
"Okay, let's wait and see!"
After saying that, he turned around and left!
Leaving like this could actually be considered disrespectful and punishable by crime, but Hu Zhenghe didn't care about these things at all at this moment. He didn't care about them before, and he cares even less now. This is the confidence that power gives him.
"Your Highness, the medicine slag is coming!"
The atmosphere was quite awkward at this moment, and Ye Youyue could only break the silence in this way.
"Check it quickly. If there is any mistake, the doctor who prescribed the medicine can leave now!"
Xiao Yan was already prepared to kill at this time, and the two corpses lying beside him were the best proof.
I can kill any high-ranking official I want, let alone the imperial doctors. I will never show mercy!
Ye Youyue finally concluded after judging the drug residue that there was something wrong with the medicine!
"What's the problem? Was he poisoned?"
But Ye Youyue shook her head and said, "It's not that someone poisoned me, but it's a problem with the medicine itself. If I'm not mistaken, the ratio of these medicines is wrong."
"At the same time, these medicines are missing one ingredient!"
"Among them, there is an herb called Ambergris, which is a very yin substance and needs to be neutralized with sunflowers!"
"But there is no sunflower in it, and the amount of ambergris used is obviously excessive!"
"You are so brave, so brave! I am going to massacre the Imperial Hospital today!"
